3. Best M4A1 gun skin in Free Fire

In other battle royale titles on mobile, everyone has the same advantage at the start of the match where if they are a newbie or a veteran. That is because they don't have the character system or the system like Free Fire. Weapon skins in Free Fire can actually make your weapons stronger in different ways.

M4A1 Scorching Sands skin

The M4A1 Scorching Sands skin is the best option you can get for this weapon. This skin gives the M4A1 2 rate of fire buffs and 1 damage buff while only reducing its magazine size by a little, which is hardly matter.

The M4A1 is a balanced weapon for all situations but its damage is not very impressive and this skin will solve that problem.

M4A1 Cataclysm skin

The M4A1 Cataclysm skin gives the weapon the same benefits as the M4A1 Scorching Sands skin with 2 rate of fire buffs and 1 damage buff. However, this skin reduces the Range of the M4A1, which shouldn't be a problem in most situations, but I would rather have the magazine size reduction.

Nonetheless, this is still a very great option for the M4A1.

M4A1 Red Griffin skin

The M4A1 Red Griffin skin offers the weapon 2 damage buffs and 1 Accuracy buff while reducing the Magazine size. The Accuracy buff and the Magazine size doesn't matter much. However, the damage buff is really nice, making this skin a solid option for the M4A1 even though it isn't as good as the above 2 skins.
