The world is currently full of battle-royale games like Garena Free Fire. This is another title where a group of players piles into an airplane and drops parachutes to the ground. Once there they must scramble for weapons and gear, while they fight to be the last man standing. The catch here is that Garena Free Fire was built exclusively for mobile phones and no other platform.

Garena Free Fire can be a fun battle-royale alternative to play while away from their more powerful consoles and PCs. Getting used to the controls and mechanics can be kind of tricky for players who aren't used to playing shooters on mobile. This guide is here to give players a few tips and improve their skills.

Garena Free Fire: Drop in a Safe Place

Unless players are extremely talented, they will want to avoid hot spots on the map. Any area that is directly in the path of the airplane will be highly trafficked areas early in the match, and those who want good gear will want to avoid these them. Instead, the player should drop in areas that are further away from the plane, but that has several buildings for them to explore.

Players may not have many options for weapons sometimes, but when looting they should try to cover their bases. It is important to have a short-range weapon, a weapon with a high rate of fire, and a long-range weapon. This will ensure that the player will be ready for any situation that their enemy puts them in. Early on players will want to experiment with several different weapons in order to determine which ones they are more effective with.

Since it is important to have a long-ranged weapon, it is a good idea to have a solid scope and know how to use it. This will make for taking other players out at a distance much easier, and enable the player to avoid getting killed themselves. A trick to remember when using the scope is that a second fire button will pop up on the left side of the screen. This allows the player to aim with their right thumb and shoot with their left.

Garena Free Fire: Use Cover Often

When playing against AI early on several players will develop the bad habit of just running around and killing enemies. As more and more real players are added into the player's games though that will likely get them killed. Players should always try to shoot from behind or nearby some kind of cover. This will allow them to duck down and hide if the enemy starts returning fire.
