To shoot continuously, players must release the fire button and press it again, which is very counter-intuitive and inconvenient for many players. Other than that, the Free Fire FAMAS has overall good stats for an Assault Rifle and can be used for many situations.

The FAMAS can equip all kinds of attachments to improve its performance in combats, including Silencer, Muzzle, Foregrip, Magazine, Scope, and Stock.

There is a FAMAS-X variant in Free Fire. This FAMAS variant will deal additional damage every 3 shots, which is perfect for the burst fire mode of the weapon.

3. Tips to use the FAMAS in Free Fire

Since the FAMAS gun in Free Fire doesn't have a full-auto mode, many players would prefer to stay away from this weapon. If you are not used to the burst fire mode, you might just hold the fire button during a gunfight and ended up dying because the gun stops after 3 shots. But in a hand of a skilled player, the FAMAS can be a very dangerous weapon.

Many players use it as a long-range weapon since it has good range and accuracy, plus a high rate of fire. They also combine FAMAS with characters like Laura to make the burst mode more accurate in long-range.

When using FAMAS in mid-range combats, try to aim for the head with the burst fire mode, which is super devastating for the enemies.

  • Range +
  • Reload Speed-

The FAMAS Teenage Dream skin is almost the same as the FAMAS Black Widow Golden skin but it provides a Range buff instead of an Accuracy buff, which doesn't really affect the weapon too much. The Range of the FAMAS is already pretty good, not to mention attachments. Overall, this is still very good FAMAS skin.
