Each weapon in Garena Free Fire has different control, recoil patterns, accuracy, and aim over specific ranges. Hence, it is understandable for beginners to face difficulty in mastering guns while understanding all the other aspects.

It is pretty insightful to drop into the practice range and grind hard to get better. Sensitivity in Free Fire is another factor that affects the recoil control, movement, and aiming of a gun. Users should find their optimum sensitivity settings for better control over recoil and aim.

SMGs and LMGs are stable firearms, while ARs require some work. Gamers can ignore recoil for Snipers and Shotguns due to low fire rates in their respective ranges.

They can use different scopes and equipment to tweak their settings. In addition, the versatility of attachments will shed light on the hip fire and ADS performances of certain firearms.


Ideal sensitivity

After getting ample experience from knowledge, users can tap on the Settings icon to access the sensitivity and adjust it as follows:

  • General: 95-100
  • Red Dot: 95-100
  • 2X Scope: 81-86
  • 4X Scope: 58-63
  • Sniper Scope: 48-53
  • Free Look: 69-74

General and Red Dot settings need to lie higher because they are primarily used in close-range fights. Conversely, players should keep 2X a little lower because of the range.

Many players use 2X for medium-range scuffles, so controlling recoil with a 90+ sensitivity becomes challenging. On the other hand, an 80+ sensitivity will allow them to execute easy headshots.

4X and Sniper are further lowered to suit their ranged fights, while Free Look sensitivity is purely based on comfort. Beginners can test these newly adjusted settings in the practice grounds of Free Fire for further understanding and refinement.
