Free Fire Headshot Settings Guide 2026

Aim Precision Basics

Aim precision means how accurately you place your shots. For headshots, you need to hit a small target. Three things matter: sensitivity, crosshair placement, and recoil control. Sensitivity should not be too high. If you overshoot the head, lower it. If you cannot turn fast enough, raise it slightly.

Crosshair placement means keeping your aim at head level before you shoot. Do not aim at the ground. When you see an enemy, your crosshair should already be near their head. That reduces the distance you need to move. Recoil control means pulling down slightly when you spray. Use short bursts of 3–5 bullets for better accuracy. Full spray is harder to control.

Sensitivity for Headshots

For headshots, many players use medium to low sensitivity. General 85–95, Red Dot 80–90 works well. High sensitivity can make small adjustments difficult. You may move past the head when you try to fine-tune. Lower sensitivity gives more control for precise shots.

If you play with 2 or 3 fingers, you may need slightly higher sensitivity to turn quickly. If you use 4 fingers, you can afford lower values. Test in Training mode. Shoot at the head of standing and moving bots. Adjust until you can land 7–8 out of 10 shots. See our full sensitivity settings guide for the complete table.

HUD Layout Tips

HUD layout affects how fast you can aim and shoot. Place the fire button where your thumb rests naturally. Do not put it too far from the aim area. The joystick should be easy to reach. Keep the scope button near your fire button so you can aim and shoot quickly.

For 2-finger players: fire on right, joystick on left. For 3-finger: add a scope or crouch button with left index. For 4-finger: use both thumbs for movement and aim, index fingers for fire and scope. Make buttons large enough to tap without mistake. Do not overlap buttons. Test in Training before ranked. Check our best HUD settings guide for layout suggestions.

Crosshair Placement

Always keep your crosshair at head height when moving. When you peek a corner, your crosshair should already be where the enemy head would be. This is called pre-aiming. It cuts the time you need to adjust. Many beginners aim at the ground or chest. That means extra movement to reach the head.

In buildings, head height is about where doors and windows meet the wall. Outside, it is roughly at the top of cover. Practice walking around the map with crosshair at head level. Do not look at the ground. After a few days, it becomes a habit. Your headshot rate will improve.

Weapon Choice for Headshots

Some weapons are better for headshots. ARs like SCAR and AK have good damage. SMGs like MP40 are fast but need more bullets. For beginners, SCAR or M4 is easier to control. AWM is best for long-range headshots but needs practice.

Use one main weapon and master it. Do not switch every match. Learn its recoil pattern. Practice in Training with that weapon only. Once you can land headshots consistently, you can try others.

Practice Routine

Spend 10 minutes in Training before ranked. Shoot at bots. Focus on head level. Do not spray. Use short bursts. Try drag shots: start at body, drag up to head. This helps when you miss the first shot. Practice moving and shooting. Stand still only when necessary.

Play 2–3 custom room matches with friends. Focus on headshots, not wins. Review your matches. Did you aim at head level? Did you overshoot? Adjust sensitivity if needed. Consistency matters more than one good game. Read our improve aim guide for a full training routine.
