If you’ve been enjoying great Battle Royale shooters like Fortnite and H1Z1 lately, one more has been added to the list: Garena Free Fire. Just like the other Battle Royales, you can have fun by standing out in a pitched war all against all, and the best part, is it’s free. And you can find free codes to progress in the game every day. You already have available the free codes for January 3rd.
Garena Free Fire is the kind of game that you can always carry with you on your mobile device, regardless of whether it is an iPhone or an Android. In it, you can customize your player from scratch and then enter a map to kill all your enemies, create strategies or even outwit your rivals.
And the game leaves nothing to be desired. With a total of 73 million players between January and March of this year, you can have great fights and an excellent experience without having to wait in long lines, making it an ideal game for every gamer.
Complete guide to getting started in Garena Free Fire
Unlike complex titles that have achieved great renown, such as Genshin Impact or similar, Free Fire is not as tedious to start playing. You won’t need to make an account to save your progress, and although there are cosmetic attachments that are paid for with real money, they are not at all necessary when advancing in the game.
However, you will most likely want to look your best. To access these special accessories, you will have to buy the in-game currency called “gems” with real money. For example, you will be able to buy pets for 150 gems (about $1.5), and feeding them will cost you 30 gems per day ($0.3).
However, it does not mean that you will always have to pay the same: many times, you will find temporary offers that will allow you to get such sought-after pets for a much lower price.
Once you have your pet in the game lobby, all that’s left is to start enjoying it. You can train it, feed it and play with it whenever you want. And although there are currently no new features with these, it is possible that in the future new options will be opened for players.
Before starting each game, all players are sent to a special room where they can run and check who they are about to fight. This place is ideal if you are a novice, as you will be able to try all the controls included in the game: running, aiming, shooting, crouching, and many others.
Once the room is completely prepared, you will be inside a plane that flies over a map, and you will be able to jump with a parachute whenever you want. As in many battle royale games, this will help you to choose the point from where you want to start your game.
Ideally, you should look for areas with structures or buildings, since you will land completely naked. Usually, inside the buildings, you will find weapons, armor, and ammunition to start facing other players. The truth is that you should always be careful, since, just as you will go for these supplies, so will others.
After arming up and getting ready, the games flow quickly and usually last no more than 10 minutes. Every so often, you will see a plane appear, and a timer will indicate that a safe zone has emerged.
The game’s first feature is that, just like in Fortnite, you must stay in the safe zone, which is getting smaller and smaller. Outside the safe zone, you will take damage until you die, while inside the safe zone, it is inevitable that you will eventually encounter players who are also looking to survive.
The truth is that, after eliminating a few players, you will get the hang of the game. It may be frustrating to adjust at first, but the truth is that you will soon start eliminating players in a big way. We, for example, lasted about three games without killing anyone, and then we won first place by eliminating everyone else.
However, we must manage certain tricks. One example is that at the start, we must go to buildings and get loot, weapons, and bulletproof vests. In the meantime, we must avoid attracting attention so as not to fall prey to other players. Your priority will be assault rifles to be able to fight at long distances, while on the other hand, shotguns will serve as melee weapons and pistols as a secondary weapon in case you run out of bullets.
In addition to this, you may find mushrooms on the map. These end up giving you an additional hp bar that, when combined with a bulletproof vest, will give you a great shield to fight with. This way, you can be the Terminator himself getting shot before your hp is compromised.
At the end of the games, your prize will be experience and gold, which is the common currency of the game. With experience points, you will be able to level up, which will allow you to see more items in the store, while with gold you will be able to buy the basic items in the shop. However, the special ones cost gems.
Compared to other Battle Royale, Garena Free Fire still has a long way to go. There’s a low amount of extras, and most still don’t have a great function. While they look nice like pets, there’s no incentive to buy and keep one.
However, its main appeal remains that the game is free. Using the basic weapons from the store and armor at no cost will allow you to play very well and smoothly. Still, if you end up wanting to master the game, it’s always good to spend some money on special items that are only bought for gems.
Finally, if you love battle royale, this game will keep you entertained for quite a while. You will enjoy every second of it, and who knows: you might become one of the best in the whole field.
