In this article, VCGamers will show you some of the best tips and tricks to win the shotgun battle in Free Fire MAX.

How to Win Using the Free Fire MAX Shotgun

Being able to master using the Free Fire MAX shotgun is useful for many reasons. The weapon class is very strong in close combat and will allow players to take down opponents with ease.

While shotguns have some drawbacks, there are many ways around them. By following a few tips and applying them in battle, you'll soon be winning shotgun battles with ease.

Always Reload If Possible

When fighting opponents, you should always try to reload whenever you can. With the limited magazine size of this weapon class, it is possible to run out of ammo in the middle of a fight.

Choosing the right weapon is also important, as automatic shotguns (MAG-7, M1014) give players a greater margin of error with their large magazines. Single shot shotguns like the SPAS and Charge buster are much more difficult to use.

When engaging in combat with opponents, you have to make sure they give themselves time to reload. Given the limited magazine size of this class of weapon, last minute reloading could be fatal.

The opponent may be able to counterattack, or the player won't have enough shots left in the magazine to do much damage. Avoiding this scenario is probably for the best.

Spam Shots When the Enemy is at Close Range

In the case of very close combat at close range, you have to deal as much damage as possible to finish off the enemy. At this crucial moment, just let it be and spam the shots. You may not even need to aim, just make sure the shots are in the general direction of the enemy.

This can be combined with aiming first. Try to predict the enemy's position using headphones and aim at that location before you even see it. You'll find it easier to score kills this way, the enemy shouldn't be able to see it coming.

Given the short range, projectile dispersion would not be a problem. As long as the center of mass can be targeted, a large amount of damage can be dealt. If a player shoots fast enough, the opponent won't even have time to react.

Jump and Shoot To Unleash Enemy Shots

In close combat, you can jump towards the enemy. On knock, wait for the crosshairs to be at their head and press fire. By jumping, you can easily move the crosshair towards the enemy's head. Besides, they won't be able to shoot you in the head easily.

To make this technique more effective, try to sneak up behind enemies, ambush around corners or attack them suddenly so they can't react fast enough. This technique can also be used defensively to reload your weapon.

One of the salient features of this battle tactic is that it can also be used defensively. You can jump to avoid damage from the opponent's shotgun at close range. This will increase the chances of winning the fight.

Use Characters with Rusher Ability

Free Fire's skill system improves players' skills in battle. Choosing the right skills can lead to huge advantages in Free Fire Max shotgun battles.

 

Caroline's agility is very important for Free Fire Max shotgun users. With the buff in OB33, players can get an additional 13 percent movement speed when holding a gun.

Shirou's or Hayato's passive can also be useful to increase their high damage. In terms of active skills, Alok or Xayne are probably the best, as healing can give players enough HP to survive those blasts.

Bushido Hayato is useful for providing armor penetration damage. Kelly's Dash can be used to close the distance between targets, and Jota's Sustained Raids can be used to recover hit points. This ability will help players increase their chances of winning.

Always Aim for the Head

Since the Free Fire Max shotgun can deal effective body shot damage, players often overestimate its strength and give up aiming for headshots altogether.

This is not a very nice thing to do, as the torso is usually heavily armored. Unless the player has armor penetration abilities such as Shirou's or M1887's skills, killing with body shots will be very slow.

This is why aiming for general head direction is a must. Even if you miss and hit the torso, some pellets can still hit the head for extra damage.
