The ability to easily and quickly take down opponents is a crucial skill in shooters like Free Fire. This skill allows you to win matches more frequently, making you better than other players. Nothing aids in the instant elimination of an opponent quite like one-tap headshots.

However, for shooting ease and executing this technique, you need to adjust the aiming sensitivity in Free Fire so that aiming becomes smoother and you can more accurately aim for the head for an instant headshot.

What Sensitivity Settings in Free Fire Are and Why They Matter

Sensitivity settings in Free Fire Max determine how sensitive the camera and aim are when you control them. The default settings provide a balanced approach, but they may not suit every player or device for several reasons:

• Poor touchscreen
• Low device/game performance
• Inconvenience of touchscreen controls

Best Free Fire Sensitivity Settings for Close-Range One-Taps

Close-range combat is usually very intense and requires instant reaction and precision. This is especially true when an opponent suddenly appears or when you are caught off guard and panic. 

High sensitivity for Red Dot also helps when shooting with MP40 or M1887. The values for 2x and 4x scopes should be slightly reduced compared to the main sensitivity to maintain control during intense battles, especially with automatic weapons. The sniper scope, although less relevant in close combat, should still be kept at a moderate level to maintain accuracy when suddenly closing in.

Here are the recommended values:

Best Free Fire Sensitivity Settings for Medium Range

Medium-range combat requires more balanced parameters. Quick reaction is still necessary, but it's also important to maintain control for precise aiming. 

In medium-distance battles, controlling the aim is extremely important. Too high sensitivity will cause overshooting, and too low won't allow timely reactions. Therefore, it's better to slightly reduce the sensitivity of scopes while keeping General and Red Dot at a moderately high level.

This allows for precise tracking of target movement and effectively executing drag shots with rifles or submachine guns. Your settings should provide a balance between stability and movement speed.

Best Free Fire Sensitivity Settings for Long-Range Headshots

In long-range battles, especially with a sniper or 4x scope, accuracy is more important than speed. Reduced scope sensitivity works best here. It allows for micro-movements for precise aiming without the risk of overshooting.

The sniper scope should be the least sensitive to achieve pixel-perfect accuracy, especially when shooting at stationary targets. Red Dot and 2x should also be slightly reduced for a more stable aim.

Best Free Fire Sensitivity Settings for Low-End Devices

On smartphones with limited RAM, lags and touch delays may occur. To compensate for this, it is recommended to increase sensitivity. This allows you to move the aim faster, even if the device is not performing optimally.

Increasing general and aiming sensitivity makes control smoother. However, it's important to maintain balance. Setting everything to maximum is not advisable, as too high sensitivity can harm accuracy.

Best Free Fire Sensitivity Settings for High-End Devices

On modern smartphones with a powerful processor and high refresh rate display, you can use more refined sensitivity settings for Free Fire. Thanks to the absence of delays, players can keep lower sensitivity for Red Dot and Sniper Scope while maintaining high General sensitivity for smoothness:

How to Change Sensitivity Settings in Free Fire

To change sensitivity in Free Fire, follow these steps.

1. On the main screen, tap the gear icon in the top right corner.

2. Then go to the Sensitivity tab in the left menu.

3. You will see sliders for all categories: General, Red Dot, scopes, and Free Look. Set the recommended values.

4. After this, exit the menu — the game will automatically save the new settings.

Test them in training mode or regular matches. If the new parameters don't suit you, simply return to the Sensitivity tab and click the Reset button to revert to the default settings.
