M249 Gun In Free Fire Tips

The M249 is indeed a very powerful weapon in Free Fire. However, it doesn't mean that it will be the best option to use in all combat situations in Free Fire. Here are a few tips for you to use the M249 gun in Free Fire effectively:

• While the M249 is strong, it cannot compete against strong SMG and shotgun in close-combats. When facing weapons such as the M1887 or the MP40, you should always keep your distance.
• Always make a habit to crouch while shooting the M249 to gain more damage, rate of fire, and stability. This can also throw off the enemy during a fight.

• The M249 is a really great weapon to use as a beginner because it is really easy to use, strong and accurate. It also doesn't need a skin.
• Unless your M249 only has an x4 Scope, it is hard to use it in long-range combats against Marksman Rifles and Sniper Rifles.
• With high damage and big magazine, it is very easy for the M249 to deal with Gloo Wall or Chrono's shield.
