FAU-G vs Free Fire

Gameplay style

The gameplay style of FAU-G and Free Fire is the opposite. While Free Fire features the battle royale theme as the game's core concept, FAU-G is more of a storytelling, arcade-style based game. As per Google Play Store description:

"FAU-G pays tribute to the heroes of our nation's armed forces. FAU-G brings to life the thrill and adrenaline of a life spent guarding India's borders."

FAU-G's weaponry is also restricted to melee weapons, while on the other hand, Free Fire offers a plethora of guns in its arsenal to rain down bullets on the ground.

However, the FAU-G: Multiplayer beta version currently offers TDM (Team Deathmatch) matches to fight against each other with firearms.

Graphics

The graphics of both Free Fire and FAU-G are of average quality. The frames and textures in these games are not heavily detailed. However, Free Fire offers a UHD gameplay experience with 60 FPS frame rates on mid-range devices.

FAU-G also provides 'Ultra' graphics with over 60 FPS frame rates on mid-range Android devices.

Gameplay modes

FAU-G currently has three gameplay modes available:

• Campaign
• Team Deathmatch (beta version)
• Free For All (Not accessible)

However, as previously mentioned, FAU-G's multiplayer mode is in the beta testing stage and is yet to make it to the official release. The Team Deathmatch mode hosts a 5v5 battle where two squads fight against each other. The team to score maximum points wins the match.

Free Fire offers a much better variety in gameplay modes ranging from battle royale matches to Clash Squad fights. Here are the gameplay modes available in Free Fire:

Gameplay modes in Free Fire

1. Ranked Game
2. Clash Squad (Ranked, Bermuda Remastered, Classic)
3. Classic (All maps)
4. Pet Rumble

Controls

'controls' tab in Free Fire

Free Fire provides several options such as Aim Precision, Quick Weapon Switch, Quick reload, Auto Switch gun, In-game tips, Auto-parachute, etc., in the 'Controls' tab, that can be turned on, off, or kept at default. Free FIre also offers a customizable layout for allocating buttons.

Sensitivity settings in BGMI

However, there are no layout customization options available in FAU-G, and players can only alter movement sensitivities, look sensitivity, look acceleration, and fire mode.

Verdict: Which is better?

Regarding better experience, graphics, advanced controls, and better gameplay modes, Free Fire is the clear winner.

The multiplayer beta version of FAU-G has many bugs and glitches with the D-pad and has specific aim control and layout options. However, the developers are constantly trying to fix these glitches to enhance the in-game experience of players in the future.
