Here is the recommended sensitivity setting from Total Gaming, one of the best Free Fire gamers. If you adjust the settings as shown below, you can shoot headshots more effectively.

  • General: 47
  • Red Dot: 50
  • 2x Scope: 82
  • 4x Scope: 86
  • AWM Scope: 0

You can refer to the detailed instructions on how to set the best sensitivity for headshot shooting in Free Fire on WebTech360.

Understand the weapon in use

It is important that you become familiar with the weapon in use or at least its range. For example, you should not run around an open area with the MP40 because it is difficult to counterattack with its low range.

To make headshots easier in FF, just stay away from high recoil weapons like the AK or AN94. The center of the gun will move around every time you shoot, and adjusting it to shoot headshots along the way is something only pro gamers can do.

Attach accessories to weapons

Handle and Foregrip

How to shoot headshots in Free Fire

To shoot headshots in Free Fire more firmly, you should reduce the recoil of the weapon by equipping the handle and foregrip. If both accessories are repeated at the highest level for the gun, the recoil after each shot will be halved.

Not all Free Fire guns can be equipped with attachments. However, if you find a good pair of accessories but can't equip your current weapon, you should replace it with a gun that can mount them. A muzzle is also quite useful in increasing the range of the weapon.

Equipped with a viewfinder - Scope

How to shoot headshots in Free Fire

In battle royale games like Free Fire, skirmishes often occur at mid to long range. That's why range is so important for almost any ranged weapon to hit a headshot, especially with Free Fire guns that don't have a Scope built in. All assault rifles require a 4x Scope, while the SMG only needs a 2x Scope.

Try to catch enemies that are outside the safe zone

The timing of the enemy shot is quite important when performing headshot, especially when you use a sniper rifle. Therefore, aim for enemies that are outside the safe zone or are caught off guard to have enough time to aim accurately.

Climb to the high ground

It is best to go to an area that can cover a large area. Try crouching or clearing obstacles to increase weapon accuracy.

Aim carefully

Scout around with the Scope and aim carefully, only shooting when sure it will hit the head. Remember that shooting immediately when you see a distant enemy is not a good idea.
