Starting tips

Gameplay in Garena Free Fire is not one of the easiest, especially given the mobile devices handling, so it is worth to read the tips below carefully, as they facilitate the entry into the game world:

1. Always react to the sound - use the sound generated by the moving player to track him. Also pay attention to the mini-map - each enemy shot is associated with his position on the mini-map.
2. Control the battlefield all the time-do not let the enemy flank you and try to surprise opponents.
3. Remember about the ever-decresing area of the battle - Open the map regularly to make sure you're not out of range anytime soon.
4. The landing place on the map is key - it depends on what inventory You will be able to find, as well as potential players you encounter. During the flight, you should monitor the environment for potential opponents and, if necessary, change the landing place.
5. Avoid red and orange zones. The first indicate the area that will be bombarded-staying in the open air inside the red zone will end with your death, so hide inside the building. The orange zone is the viewing radius of the UAV recon drone- if you get inside it, your position will be open to other players.
6. Use your inventory properly. If you have a sniper rifle, try to fight at long distances to make the most of your potential. If, in turn, you have a SMG or a shotgun, try to fight at close distances.
7. Manage the contents of the backpack-the space in it is limited (it can be increased with the help of different types of backpacks), and sometimes it is necessary to throw away an unnecessary item to make room for something more valuable.
8. Use grenades - they are especially useful for flushing enemies out from buildings or in the last minutes of gameplay when the combat zone is significantly reduced.
9. Aim for headshots - they deal much greater damage.
10. Be vigilant when cleaning buildings-you never know if an enemy is lurking inside.
11. Remember that you are not 100% safe inside the building - enemies can fire at you through windows or doors, or throw a grenade inside.
12. If you want to hide in a building, study its layout - where are the potential entrances through which the enemy can get inside.
13. If you want to use the car, look for the blue pickup truck - it is completely built up, so enemies aiming at you will not have support in the form of automatic aiming.

How to play Garena Free Fire?

To start playing Garena Free Fire, you need to download the game to your Android or iOS device, respectively, through the Google Play Store or Apple's App Store. After installing the game you will need to connect an account on one of the services (Facebook, Google or VK.com) and you can jump in the gameplay. You will find more information about this in the section "how to start the game?".

Can I play Garena Free Fire on PC?

The BlueStacks default view.

By default, the game is only available on Android or iOS mobile devices. However, thanks to the use of the Android emulator, the BlueStacks program, it is possible to run this game (or any on the Android OS) on a computer. This is due to the undeniable advantages, as increased smoothness of gameplay, the ability to play on the monitor or TV, as well as control with the keyboard and mouse. For more information on this issue, see the Chapter "is Garena Free Fire playable on PC?".

Is the game free?

Yes, Garena Free Fire is completely free - you do not need to spend a penny to enjoy all of its features. The game also implements microtransactions that allow players to obtain cosmetic items - however, you can choose not to use them and unlock all additional items with regular gameplay.

Where on the map will land?

There are a lot of places to land on the map - you need to choose the right one.

Choosing the right place to land is a key issue and mostly depends on what you care about in the first minutes of gameplay:

1. If you want to quietly earn equipment and prepare for a clash with other players, land in a more secluded place where there will be only a few buildings in the area. Thanks to this, you will reduce your chances of meeting another player already during the first minutes of the clash - at the cost, however, of less equipment to conquer.
2. If you are not afraid of collisions with other players and want to experience the action immediately, land in a place with a high density of buildings-for example, in the Hangar, Cape Town or the Catwalk. Thanks to this, you will be able to quickly equip the character with good inventory, but also increase the chances of encountering another player.

What to do in the first minutes of the collision?

During the first minutes of gameplay, you have to focus on getting equipment.

The first few minutes of gameplay are key - this is exactly what your main task is to equip with appropriate gear. Find a long gun, best an Assault Rifle and / or a sniper rifle, as well as Medkits,a backpack, a vest and a helmet. This greatly increases your chances of survival and becoming the winner.

During the first minutes you should limit attacks on other players-unless you are in direct danger. Do not show your position and focus on acquiring inventory. Additionally, if you manage to access the vehicle, it is worth using it to go to the other end of the map-the chance that there is another player is negligible, making all the items there at your disposal.

How to deal effectively with other players?

If possible, try not to attract attention to yourself and attack when you have confidence that you can eliminate the enemy.

The biggest challenge will no doubt be learning to aim on a mobile device - it does require experience and a few hours of regular competition. Fortunately, the game helps the player with automatic aiming - when the cursor is in the opponent's zone, the game locks it on the player's character, making aiming easier. It is worth deciding on a fight with another player when you are sure that you will emerge victorious from the clash-if you have a good weapon, position (you are inside the building, the enemy is in the open) and you have confidence that there are no other enemies nearby. When firing, hide behind environmental cover to reduce chance of receiving damage and allow you to aim for the enemy's head.

If, in turn, you are in an open area, it is not recommended to start shooting at another player-it is better to cover or get inside the building, and open fire from there. When escaping from enemy fire, make sure to change direction often- this will reduce the chance of the enemy hitting you.
