Within the realm of mobile esports, the top contenders seem to be PUBG Mobile, Kings of Glory and Arena of Valor. However, that seems to be changing and very quickly. Indeed, esportsguide is proud to present our next featured esports scene for the site – Garena Free Fire. Indeed, the new battle royale has been turning heads for years and is on the rise. To properly introduce the title to our readers, strap in for our Garena Free Fire Tips and Tricks!
Before hopping in, I’ll summarize how the game works for those unaware. At the beginning of each game, 50 players drop into a typical battle royale setup on a tiny map fighting for a victory. According to the Google Play Store, the title enjoyed over 500 million downloads this past February.
Mechanical Skill
Like any other mobile competitive title we’ve covered on the site, some tips for mechanical skill remains the same. Once again, we’ll repeat that in a battle royale, mechanical skill needs to be flawless to allow for an emphasis on awareness and knowledge.
Here are some tips for this mobile battle royale title:
- Ensure that your movement and aim is top-notch – this will take hours and hours of practice to master. Synchronizing snappy shots together with crouching and jumping is the foundation to better performance.
- Crouching while shooting – in certain situations, like close-quarter combat, you’ll want to reduce yourself as a target and notably, shotguns have a hard time of landing crouched opponents
- Try and adjust aim sensitivity – using a touchscreen to aim can be very difficult. This can be done by using different controls and inputs. Most serious players utilize the claw control.
- You can heal and revive at the same time. This tip is something you’ll definitely make use of!
- Master the use of gloo walls for every situation
What’s unique about Garena Free Fire is that players can build gloo walls as a means of both defence and offence.
In-Game Knowledge and Awareness
Moving on, the mobile battle royale title offers a tonne in terms of in-game knowledge – the most important aspect of any battle royale. Bearing in mind the size of the map and the fact that usually roughly 50 players are present, you can expect a tonne of engagements to come your way. Being as prepared as possible for any likely outcome is essential to surviving to the end. Maybe you should take note of the following:
- Knowing when to sprint and when to crouch is an important decision. If you’re traversing open land it’s likely you’ll want to sprint to cover. However, should you be near any buildings, you’ll want to keep a low profile and sneak around without alerting opponents
- Looting airdrops – the incredible level of loot can be tempting for players, though you’ll want to evaluate whether it’s worth the risk at all times.
- Manage your inventory so that during gunfights you don’t mess up. Specifically, situations such as running out of ammo, having no health packs and using the wrong gun don’t happen. These could easily ruin a game and your day at the same time.
- Understand the map entirely to prepare for any situation – getting to cover, high ground and vantage points when possible
- Don’t be overly afraid of the shrinking arena – the periphery of the map is often saturated with players so instead of running away wildly, it’s better to keep your gun up for any dwellers to avoid getting shot in the back
Personal and Interpersonal – Garena Free Fire Tips and Tricks
- Once again, we’ll have to talk about risk-assessment – be careful of every situation and learn from them individually and as a team
- You’ll have to work on communication with your teammates and with yourself in the sense that you need to reflect on your gameplay
- Try warming up for ranked games by playing Clash Squad – it’s a great way to train your shot and gloo wall building
- Like for any other battle royale, we recommend that players try to strike a balance between aggression and calculated risks – diving into unnecessary gunfights can cost you everything
