Besides exclusive collectibles, such as Evo Guns and cosmetics, a high kill-to-death ratio (K/D) reflects your in-game persona in Free Fire. A high K/D ratio not only stands you out from the mass of players but also helps you join a high-end guild since leaders filter out players based on their in-game stats, including K/D. It's worth mentioning that the same is measured by dividing the number of kills you claimed and the number of times you have died in a season.

Therefore, it won't be wrong to say that a high K/D ratio simply reflects your expertise with the game. However, maintaining a high kill-to-death ratio isn't easy since it requires you to kill an adequate number of foes in a match before you get eliminated.

This article discusses how to maintain a high K/D ratio in Free Fire.

Guide to achieving a high K/D ratio in Free Fire

Tons of phenomena influence your K/D ratio in Free Fire, including your playstyle and mindset on the battlefield. Moreover, passive players usually have a better K/D ratio than rushers, as the latter consider going all in when they spot an enemy and run into a relatively greater risk of elimination.

Here are some ways to improve your K/D ratio in Free Fire:

1) Choose your landing location wisely

The early stage plays a pivotal role in determining your performance in the rest of the game. So, your landing location significantly affects your match's finish count.

Some places in Free Fire maps witness early action, and they should be visited only if you're an aggressive player. That said, while keeping a low profile, if you can fetch good kills out of these places, then such locations are worth landing in.

2) Master your gloo wall and frag skills

Frags and gloo walls can be lifesavers in difficult situations. For example, if you're alone amid a whole squad, the former can get you out alive, while the latter can create a possibility for a clutch. Remember, increasing the K/D ratio requires staying alive on the battleground till the last moment, and in this regard, these throwables are a great aid.

3) Engage in combat only when you're confident

Before getting into combat, spot the covers around you and figure out how to utilize them to confuse the opponent and dodge incoming attacks. Moreover, avoid getting into a gunfight when there's no backup or the enemy has an advantageous position, weapons, or other resources over you.

While engaged with an enemy squad and third-partied, quickly escape from the scene, as the results of such fights are often unpredictable.

4) Work on your skills

Maintaining a decent K/D ratio requires constant improvement in your skills and playstyle. For this, frequently look forward to adopting new battle tactics and techniques into your gameplay, such as a three-finger custom HUD, weapon recoil control, and headshot mastery.

Furthermore, practice performing third-party attacks, which is one of the best strategies to achieve decent kills in a match. This is because it strikes the opponents in the most unanticipated and vulnerable moment.

5) Work on your weapon recoil control

A weapon recoil control is an imperative skill you must learn to maintain impressive stats in Free Fire, be it reaching a high tier or maintaining a decent K/D ratio. Although you can develop the weapon recoil control skill with days of practice and experience, you will find it even more difficult without the appropriate sensitivity settings.

Note that no set of settings can be considered ideal since they differ based on the player's preference and playstyle. That said, here's a set of sensitivity settings that most Free Fire veterans use:

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