In a battle royale like Free Fire, the main objective is to stay alive until the end of the match – in order to do that, some players choose to avoid combat and camp/set up an ambush inside a location.
Being a camper is a perfectly ok style of playing – while it is not as flashy as being a Rusher, it actually works even if you are not that great at shooting people.
In the list below, we would list out five best characters for the “camper” playstyle
1 – Rafael
A Sniper Rifle/AR are the ideal weapons for setting up an ambush – and no character can snipe from afar as effective as Rafael. With his “Dead Silent” skill, Rafael can backstab/shoot people freely without having to worry about his cover getting blown. This works the best in team games – you can down one team member then duck back into cover, leaving the enemy squad disorganized.
2 – Hayato
Hayato’s skill works when he’s at low HP – this is actually not ideal for rushers, who have to keep their HP at the highest possible. Camper Hayato would be able to stay hidden at low HP, making full use of the Bushido skill’s armor-piercing ability. Combine this with something like the Dragunov (has innate armor piercing), you might even be able to achieve 100% armor piercing, which completely ignores enemy armors.
3 – Laura
When camping, you usually would try to aim with scopes to get headshots, as usually, you would get enough time to aim. Because of this, Laura might be a great choice, as her passive would increase scoped accuracy by 30%.
4 – Ford
This character is really underrated – for a good reason, as no one wants to be stranded outside of the safe zone. However, for campers, delaying safe zone rotation might be a great tactical choice, as moving to safe zones would often leave you in a vulnerable position. You can just wait for other people to move first if you are playing Ford, as he has the ability to reduce damage dealt by the circle.
5 – Alok
When camping, you would not have enough time to move around looking for heal items and mushrooms – this is where Alok’s healing ability comes in. With Drop the Beat available periodically, you would be able to keep your HP at a decent level.
