Free Fire weapon recoil control guide: Sensitivity settings and more
While in battle royale titles like PUBG Mobile, weapon recoil control is done by developing skills, doing the same in Free Fire has more to do with your sensitivity settings and how well you're comfortable with it. That said, a few tips and tricks can also help you keep your weapon recoil under control. It's worth mentioning that weapon recoil control ability is the foremost important skill you must learn if you're a beginner since it helps you land headshots.
Note that landing headshots is imperative in close-range-close-quarter gunfights, as these fights spark and end within a snap of a finger, requiring swift movement speed, decision-making ability, and accuracy.
This article further discusses how you can control your weapon recoil easily, along with a set of sensitivity settings.
Disclaimer: Free Fire is banned in India. Readers in the region are advised against playing the game. Instead, they can engage in Free Fire Max, an India-exclusive and legal variant.
Settings and attachments for weapon recoil control in Free Fire
Learning weapon recoil control takes days of practice and patience. If you're a beginner, you might be facing great difficulty with weapons like the AKM since they are among the firearms with the highest recoil rate.
You can consider changing your device's Dots Per Inch setting (DPI) to control your weapon better. However, many professionals advise against doing so, as it can cause damage to your device's screen. Therefore, conduct proper research before changing this setting of your device.
You can use equipment such as muzzles, foregrips, and stocks that developer Garena offers to control weapon recoil. Note that you should avoid using silencers with your firearm since, although they cut off your gun's noise and blast effect, they increase their recoil rate.
Lastly, tweaking your sensitivity settings to your comfort can also help you control your weapon. It's worth mentioning that no set of these settings can be considered ideal since they differ based on the player's preference and playstyle. That said, here is a set of sensitivity settings that many FF veterans use:
- Red Dot: 78
- 2X Scope: 70
- 4X Scope: 55
- AWM Scope: 48
- Free Look: 100
Skills for weapon recoil control in Free Fire
Incorporating new skills into your playstyle is imperative when learning weapon recoil control. You can practice pulling down the crosshair while spraying enemies to have better control over the weapon. Although this technique may sound simple, you can find it difficult to practice; you must act with patience and perseverance.
Another skill for better weapon recoil control includes crouching or going prone while firing a distanced enemy. This trick can be tremendously helpful for recoil mastery.
Remember that the rate of fire is directly proportional to the weapon recoil. Therefore, you must stop firing immediately when your bullets aren't landing precisely on enemies. Moreover, the skillful use of the joystick corresponding with your crosshair and cunning movements also help control weapon recoil. For this, you should create an appropriate custom setup.
Additionally, you should refrain from using big scopes with weapons with high recoil, such as AK47. Using weapons with big optics can turn out to be a disastrous mistake and cause uncontrollable weapon movement.
