Gamers, who are addicted to exciting battle and live action games, would consider Free Fire as an alternative to PUBG.  Garena Free Fire is also known as Free Fire: Kalahari, Free Fire Battlegrounds or some times simply “Free Fire”.

Introduction

Free Fire is an amazing addition in the game world which is published by Garena Studios.

Gameplay

The game has a beautiful opening as you find yourself in a ground filled with people for like 30

or seconds. Next you find yourself in an aero plane. From there, in 30 second or so you are asked to eject. Then you dive and open your parachute. Once you land in safe zone, it’s a battle ground. Your safe zone will keep on shrinking and here you have to survive and kill. This opening scene is just like a move and enough to mesmerize you for the rest of the game.

Initial Action Needed to Play

• Select a character: As a default you have Even and Adam available to play with. You get an option to adjust skin colour according to your preference.
• Vault has two tabs to select:
  • Fashion: Change your appearance like caps, glasses, shirts, trousers and shoes…
  • Crates: You have crates to open and they give you items or limited use weaponry.
• An amazing collection of pets is available. You don’t get these at default but you may buy these and later you can get their actions, skins and skills as you progress in the game. I love to have night panther as a pet. Alas, I don’t have one as yet now.
• Another new option is collection. You have options for banner, avatar, loot box, backpack, parachute, surfboard, weapon, Vehicle and emote.
• Luck Royale: You may try your luck here. You may win items and stuff here.
• Store: People with diamond and cash visit to buy. It’s a virtual shop for the better equip yourself for the battles.

Once you are done with initial action, it’s the time to explore game options and modes.

Game modes

There are several different game modes and new one are kept on introduced. But mostly used modes are:

• 

  Screen Capture: Free Fire Game Modes

  Classic mode

• Ranked game
• Rush hour
• Custom game
• Solo, duo and squad

Classic Mode

It is the default mode of free fire, as you start from coming out of a plane competing with 50 players to be the last survivor of the island and you can choose which maps you want to play in these are the only maps you can currently choose Purgatory or Bermuda.

Ranked game

Ranked game is not that much different from the classic mode but there are still 50 players on the map, but in the ranked game the map is randomly chosen also it has a ranking system which the players have to earn ranking points by eliminating other players which will give them a high rank, the higher the rank the more challenging players it will be.

Rush Hour

Rush hour is just like the classic mode but for those who like quick matches, this time the map is smaller and there will be 20 players and the matches are shorter. I like rush hour as it is fun in little bit time.

Custom Game

You can host your own match using any of the modes (Classic mode, ranked game and rush hour) but you won’t earn points in the ranked game using this.

Solo, duo and squad

In this mode it allows you to choose whether you want to play alone which is solo, or with another person which is duo and, in a team, which is squad. The number of players playing still won’t change, but the goal is also still the same but when playing in a team one of the members of any team must be alive to win.

Graphics

Free Fire is improving their graphics each year, but the graphics still need a lot of improvements, the game might not make people who like high graphic games satisfied by the game but the good news on the other hand is that the game is adding new types of maps.

Things I like about the game

Free Fire is an addictive game with its genre Battle Royale. Where you love to play along with your friends and family, this is one of the best option available on google play and Apple app store. The main things I love about this game are:

• Addictive game where you have no idea of time spent over the internet

• A fun shooting game perfect to play with your friends and family members
• New maps and updates coming all times
• Creative maps and events
• Cool types of parachutes you can start with when you start the game
• New characters added into the game and with information about them.

Things I don’t like about the game

Free Fire overall is a great game for those who like Battle Royale themed games. But just like all games, it has flaws or issues that can be fixed. I will give you a list of some stuff that I don’t appreciate in the game or about the game. Although these are experienced while playing free fire and in the similar manner these might also happen in other games as well:

• Low graphic quality: The game is a good game when it comes to playing with your friends and family. But the gameplay might not be good as the graphics are not tend to be realistic. Anyhow, at least they are improving it which is amazing.
• Hackers: Playing the game with people violating the rules of the game makes it a kind of less interesting. As when you compete with them they tend to do tricks that you are unable to do. For example, flying, unlimited money, maximum level or infinity level, killing players instantly without shooting or hurting them. So sometimes, it is advisable to skip the game play to get in terms with these people.
• Lagging for some devices: As we know Garena Free Fire can be played in many devices. But sometime if you have a unstable device, your game might keep on lagging. It crashes the game every time you walk around or do something. Lagging can be mostly caused due to high graphic content, unstable poor devices, hackers, spammers (those who repeat something over and over again) and many others.

Mechanics

There are mechanics such as sprinting, jumping (can jump with your weapon), laying down and mounting. Most of them are used when a player is hiding from the other players. You will also have the ability to drive random cars when exploring the map. And eliminate players by running over them using a car. Just like all battle royale games, it will have the same mechanics of a battle royale. Also, the game developers are also adding new mechanics to make the game easier to play and win. Some people use advantageous to get hold of better mechanics. What you can do about it. Better the leave the game play and start a new one with new people.

Sprint

The sprint button is one of the most basic mechanics you will notice it. Once you start your first gameplay, the sprint button allows us to sprint. Which makes us run faster then our normal speed, the sprint button will always be with you any time. It is also helpful when we come close to an experienced player so we can flee from the player before the player eliminates us. And is also helpful to chase players down when you see a weak player.

Jumping

Jumping is also one of the most common Mechanics. As in all other games, jumping allows us to bounce of the ground. It is also useful when it comes to dodging the other players bullets when they are shooting. It also is perfect for doing tricks such as jumping at the same time of shooting which is a very cool and unique trick that you can learn easily. And will help you to focus properly on the player when aiming on the player.

Laying Down

Laying down is also one of the most useful mechanics as you can just lay on the ground avoid being seen by other players nearby. While laying down you can also move but in a very slow speed. Also, it can be helpful in camouflaging to the ground so other players won’t notice you. Even though it’s helpful but it can be annoying while your laying down. As other players can shoot you more successfully since you will be on a slow speed when fleeing. But you can quickly escape by standing up again and running or fight back.

Crouching

Crouching is a sitting form but instead of sitting the player can move. While sitting it is also just like laying down but you can easily avoid players more. And is one of the main mechanic of the game. Crouching is also used when picking up items such as weapons, items, first aid kit and others. Crouching is also mentioned in other game while crouching you also have the chance to shoot and dodge bullets. Everyone basically uses crouching in the game as it’s the most important mechanic.

Driving Vehicles

While exploring and eliminating players you can also find some vehicles around the map which you can drive freely without buying them, they are also great for eliminating players when it comes to driving the cars can run over other players and eliminate them instantly but the players can sometimes survive or even dodge the car by jumping or moving aside while your inside your vehicle players can still damage you even if your inside only if the vehicle is damaged the player will start getting damaged too, you can damage a vehicle or even the player inside the vehicle by shooting it, open vehicles just like motorcycle, jeep and others can damage you if they aimed on you while the closed window vehicles will start damaging the car then the player inside. It is useful for a player to check for any possible advantage available for the vehicles and game play. You can collect skins for car which will allow you to decorate the car once you get on it.

Events

Garena Free Fire has many cool events on different occasions, some of them can be like winter themed events, summertime events, or events that are created by the creators of the game, most of the events have limited and exclusive items also events can give you free skins for emotes, weapons, avatars and others, all the games should have events as they make the game more challenging and fun especially if you win them most events are in game while some are out game but need participation also in free fire. Whereas sometimes people get advantage by using. Most event items are exclusive and limited which means they won’t be coming back forever which makes them so valuable and cool to wear when playing free fire, it is must to participate in all events cause you can even win without knowing so it will be a great time to win and show it to all your friends and family members.

Game hacking and Unfair Game Play

There is a huge following for this game. Game was top ranked in google play and considered to one the best in battle royale genre. This definitely attract hackers and people who take advantage of the success. There are APK available that can provide a gamer with advantageous position. One of the popular one is Garena Free Fire MOD APK. But what is the benefit of it? Why people use it? All just to get a better position initially in the game play. This make a lot of gamers turn away from game.

Besides getting banned, these are the other factors to consider before you opt for cheating by installing Free Fire MOD APK:

• You may be highlighted for using unfair means. Therefore, other players will lodge a complaint against you;
• Once a complaint is successful in determining that you are a cheater, you will be banned from game play;
• Winning always does not let you get an interest in the game;
• Most the cheater are either left alone or banned. Your decision?
• All of your genuine progress is lost with ID ban;
• You have to put substantial efforts to reach to the point that you have achieved earlier;
• You won’t make friends with a huge number of game buddies. Any hacker will love to have a friendship with you. So better play with a hacker to get in terms.
• Stay away from hacking and get use to a normal game play. You have to understand that this game is made for a normal game play.

Final verdict of Garena Free Fire:

Garena Free Fire is fun for everyone despite few hitch and glitches. In the end you may get whatever you desire out of this game. It is all about strategy, excel and conquer the game play by using fair means.

Millions of people play every day and make good friends in this game. This game is comparable in all terms with PUBG but some people prefer Free fire over the games of same genre. Fully recommended for any passionate player.
