What is the camping strategy in Free Fire?

The camping strategy in Free Fire will focus on surviving to keep you alive as long as possible instead of getting many kills. In Ranked games, you get a lot of points from just reaching the end game so this is a great strategy to rank up.

With this strategy, you would want to start the game in a faraway location to loot safety and prepare. You need a full set of armor, helmet, weapons for close-range and long-range combats. A double AR combo would do great but it will be a little too weak in the final circle. It is best to have an M1887/ MP40 with an AR/ SR.

Next, you need to identify the safe zone, if you are lucky you will be able to even know the location of the next safe zone with the radar item. Now, choose a safe location in the safe zone, preferably in the middle of it so you don't have to move a lot. Most of the time, inside a house or on a roof are the safest places.

Now, the rest will be quite boring. You just wait, watching around to see if there is any enemy pass by. If you think you have the shot then feel free to take them down and then keep waiting again. It is best to third-party other players as they were busy fighting.

If you are no longer in the safe zone then repeat the process. Find the next safe spot inside it, stay there and watch out for the area around you.
