Headshots in a shooter like Garena Free Fire are crucial for many reasons, and dealing maximum damage is one of them. The importance of headshots is enhanced when playing as a sniper, which demands expertise.

The majority of the players, especially the newbies, find it difficult to control their weapons while adjusting aim and firing a shot. Therefore, they need to change some settings in their phones to make sniping easier.
