Garena Free Fire is among the few BR (Battle Royale) shooters to have eclipsed PUBG Mobile's player count. This has inspired developers to push for consistent updates and optimizations to further improve the gaming experience.

Although Free Fire lacks the physics and gun mechanics of high-end alternatives on Android and iOS, scoring headshots is just as satisfying as in any other shooter. Often, beginners tend to lack the expertise needed to score frequent headshots, and while that is partially down to their lack of practice, it could also be due to suboptimal in-game settings.


What should be the ideal settings for headshots in Free Fire (2022)

Players should note that adjusting the settings in Garena Free Fire will only assist in aim and movement. Scoring headshots at a higher frequency requires experience and skill, and as such, one should focus on practicing as well as on optimizing in-game settings.

It is essential to have higher settings for graphics to receive a high-end output. One can get a better frame rate and upgraded display output with the following graphic settings:

Display

  1. Graphics - Ultra
  2. High resolution - High
  3. Shadow - On
  4. Filter - Depends on personal preference.

High FPS - High

Minimap

  1. Autoscale - On
  2. Minimap - Depends on personal preference.

Notch Screen - On

A higher framerate provides a noticeable edge in a match but may lead to excessive battery usage. Therefore, users can lower their settings if they encounter stutters and battery-related issues.

The heads-up display is one of the most crucial aspects of any shooter, particularly when playing on a touchscreen with limited screen space. Users need to tweak the control layout to enhance the frequency of headshots and facilitate ease of use. Moreover, the HUD layout should be adjusted as per the grip and comfort of users.

After making all the adjustments, players can use the training mode to test out the new settings and practice scoring headshots.
