If you’ve been playing Free Fire as long as I have (shoutout to the 2017 OG players out there), you know that the Submachine Gun (SMG) category is the most heavily debated topic in the entire game. Shotguns are great for one-taps, and ARs are strictly for distance, but the SMG is your bread and … Read more

In Free Fire, Close Quarters Combat (CQC) is where 90% of matches are decided. You can snipe all day, but eventually, the zone forces you together. And in CQC, the Shotgun is King.

If you can’t spray down an enemy running across an open field in Purgatory, you will never … Read more
