Battle Royale titles like Free Fire and PUBG Mobile, usually incorporate weapon recoil movement in their firearms to produce a realistic warfare gaming experience and make it a little challenging to register shots. In the latter, the weapon could be controlled by developing skill sets, while in the former, controlling a firearm has more to do with a player's sensitivity settings.

Registering headshots is an imperative task in battle royale titles, especially in close-range-close-quarter gunfights, since these combat demands quick action, as they often spark and end within a snap of a finger.

To help you, this article discusses a few sensitivity settings for Free Fire, along with some tips and tricks to control your weapon recoil.

Drag headshots guide in Free Fire

Numerous factors ultimately form your headshot ratio, such as in-game HUD, settings, sensitivity, weapon recoil control, and more. This article, however, will focus on sensitivity and how to manage gun movement.

In-game sensitivity and settings

In Free Fire, players can change their scope’s sensitivity as per their comfort. An ideal set of settings in this regard offers better control over your weapon, which increases your accuracy and helps land precise shots. Here are the best sensitivity settings for your scopes that many experienced players prefer in the game:

Red Dot: 78
2X Scope: 70
4X Scope: 55
AWM Scope: 48
Free Look: 100

Though these settings will help you gain more control over your weapon, drag headshots require you to move your attacking key towards your enemy’s head while firing. This means your General sensitivity plays a significant role in performing it.

Although the preference for settings varies between players, a beginner can consider keeping the General sensitivity more than 90. However, if you’re using a low-end device, setting it to 100 is advisable. Moreover, changing your device’s DPI setting can also enhance your accuracy while landing drag headshots.

Better weapon recoil control

Mastering weapon recoil control is an imperative task and should be done as a priority when you begin your Free Fire journey. However, it requires days of practice and patience.

The developer, Garena, features equipment like stocks, foregrips, and muzzles that reduce a weapon's movement upon firing. Furthermore, you can avoid using equipment like silencers that, although decreases your firearm's noise, increases its recoil movement.

If you're a beginner, you can practice weapon recoil control by using ARs like the AKM, which has high recoil movement. This is because using such firearms will make you accustomed to weapon movement and help you learn how to control them. Moreover, avoid firing your weapon incessantly since this makes your weapon move beyond control.

Lastly, you can crouch or go prone when spraying a far-off enemy to have better control over your weapon. Along with this, drag your crosshair down while firing.

For more tips and tricks, you can watch Free Fire professionals' gameplay on their streaming channels.
