In the competitive world of Free Fire, ranked matches are the battleground where truly elite players are defined. One of the most coveted secrets is accurate headshots, or “all reds,” which not only guarantee quick kills but also a better ranking on the leaderboard. If you want to master the art of headshots in ranked matches, here are the best tips and tricks that will make you stand out.
🎯 1. Set the best sensitivity
Custom sensitivity is key to landing headshots. Not all devices respond the same, but here’s a baseline you can adjust:
General: 90–100
Red dot sight: 90–95
2x sight: 85–90
4x sight: 80–85
AWM sight: 50–60
Free aim: 70–80
The key is to find a sensitivity level that allows you to move the joystick smoothly and raise the sight with a single tap.
🔧 2. Use the fire button precisely
The fire button should be well-positioned and sized so you can make a quick upward movement (drag) when firing. This trick, known as “one tap,” involves sliding slightly upward while firing, which directs the sight directly at the enemy’s head.
🧠 3. Train your “one-tap reflex”
Practice in training mode or in casual matches until you master the one-tap reflex. This means pulling up a shot as soon as you see the enemy. You can use weapons like the M500, Desert Eagle, or USP to practice.
🎮 4. Use accurate weapons in ranked matches
Not all weapons are created equal. If your goal is to land headshots, these are the recommended weapons:
M1887: Double-barreled shotgun with high damage and accuracy at close range.
MP40 and MAC10: Perfect for fast, controllable shots.
SCAR, AK, and XM8: Rifles with a good balance of damage and control for mid-range shots.
Desert Eagle and M500: Ideal for perfecting the “all red” shot at close and mid-range.
📲 5. Customize Your HUD
A customized HUD is vital. Adjust the fire button to a comfortable area for your finger, and make sure you have the aim button close by. Many pro players place the fire button in the top right corner so they can drag faster with their thumb.
🏃♂️ 6. Move Constantly
A stationary player is an easy target. But a moving player shooting at the head is a lethal threat. Use the jump shot or run-shoot-cover technique to break your opponent’s aim while you eliminate them with a headshot.
🧩 7. Use Characters with Strategic Abilities
Characters also play an important role. Some that can help you improve in ranked:
Hayato: Increased armor penetration at low health.
Moco: Marks the enemy and you can track them if they take cover.
Alok or Kenta: Ideal for staying alive while you close in for a headshot.
Homer: His drone disrupts and disorients the enemy, leaving them vulnerable to a headshot.
🧱 8. Master the Gloo Wall
In Ranked, strategically placing Gloo Walls allows you to take cover, reposition, and prepare for a solid headshot. You can even surprise them from around a corner.
📈 9. Stay Calm and Observe Enemy Movement
Don’t just shoot for the sake of shooting. Observe enemy movement patterns, aim slightly above their heads, and wait for the perfect moment. Anxious players make mistakes, but you can become a precise hunter.
🛠️ 10. Practice Every Day
There’s no substitute for practice. If you want to improve in Ranked, spend 15 to 30 minutes a day practicing:
Rapid shots in training
Ranked drills
1 vs. 1 with friends or experienced players
🏆 Conclusion
Mastering headshots in Ranked isn’t magic; it’s a result of practice, strategy, and proper setup. If you follow these tips, you’ll see how your games transform and you’ll start climbing the ranks more easily, making every matchup “all red.”
Put on your headphones, adjust your HUD, and go smash heads in Free Fire!
