How to make it to the match's finale in Garena Free Fire? Garena Free Fire guide, tips
Last update: 12 November 2019
The goal of each game in the Battle Royale genre is to survive to the end and remain the only one alive. Of course, it works the same way in Garena Free Fire, and this chapter of our guide explains what to do and what to avoid in order to increase your chances of making it to the finale of the match.
First minutes after landing
As we have already mentioned in the introduction, the main premise of the gameplay in Garena Free Fire is to make it to the finals and stay alive as the only one on the map (or a member of the last living team). The longer you survive, the more points you get at the end of the match - and that translates into faster character development and potential rewards at the end of the game. The number of frags also affects the final result, but it has a smaller impact than the time you managed to stay alive.
The issue that has the greatest impact on the chance of survival until the end of the match is the properly planned beginning of the match - that is the very first few minutes after landing. The subject has been described in detail in the previous chapter, however, as a reminder you should focus primarily on the acquisition of weapons, Vest, Helmet and Medkit.
Once you have obtained the equipment, you need to get to the center of the safe zone designated by the game - as long as you have not managed to land inside it. Once you get there, there are a few things to remember, namely:
- It is not worth to force yourself into the very center of the zone. The zone shrinks quite slowly, so you'll be able to stay in the center of the game all the time. By rushing to the center of the map can most likely end up dying, as other players may notice you pretty easily.
- Remember that you can simply stay on the edge of the white zone at all times and move into its area after it gets reduced in size. It has a huge advantage - the chance that someone will attack you from the flank or from behind is equals almost zero, because no one can survive behind the active zone.
- When you encounter an enemy, think twice before firing. If you can't eliminate your opponent, you'll reveal your position unnecessarily and expose yourself to the attacks of other players in the area.
- Never fire at someone while standing out in the open area - it's a recipe for quick death at the hands of other players who will track you down instantly.
- If you open fire and eliminate other player, try to slowly change your location - this will make it difficult for nearby enemies to find you.
When there are 5-10 enemies left on the battlefield
When the battle zone is significantly reduced, you will need to monitor the vicinity more carefully. Most enemies will be close enough to attack as soon as you get on their weapon sight. March to the reduced zone about 15-20 seconds before the end of time - you can easily get there and catch a few players who panicked and started to run much earlier.
The real challenge begins when the battlefield covers an area of several hundred square meters and only 5-10 people remain alive. From now on, forget some of the tips and tricks described above and open fire as soon as you manage to hold anyone at gunpoint. You cannot allow another player to change his position and attack you by surprise - and the distances between all players will be so small that hiding would be pointless. At this stage, it's also a good idea to start using grenades - you'll be able to throw them at most of the places inside the battle zone without any problems.
Final moments - Tips
When there are 3-5 enemies left on the battlefield and the available area is reduced to the size of a mini-map, there are a few things to keep in mind, such as:
- If you have grenades at your disposal, then make use of them. At this stage, you'll be able to throw them anywhere. However, remember that enemies can also do this.
- Shoot anyone who appears at your weapon sight - if you fail to do so, then there is a big chance that the same enemy will attack you within a dozen or so seconds, when he or she locates you.
- Ignore items left behind by other players - you won't get anything that would help you in winning the match, and as you get closer to the abandoned parcel you can easily fall into the trap of other players who watch over the item.
- Use different types of cover and try to protect yourself from the back and from the sides. Opening fire at this stage will end with an almost immediate reaction from other players - don't let them come from behind or sideways.
