In Free Fire, the power of a weapon does not only depend on its damage but other stats as well, especially the rate of fire. The higher the rate of fire of a weapon is, the more bullets it can shot in the same duration of time. That means even if a weapon has low damage, it can still have a lot of power with a high rate of fire.
Today, we are going to list the top 5 weapons in Free Fire with the highest rate of fire.
5. UMP
The UMP owns a fast rate of fire (75) just like all SMG. Apart from that it also has a great reload speed of 77 as well as a movement speed of 79. While the damage of the UMP quite mediocre, it has 63 armor penetration, which amplifier its true power by a large margin.
4. P90
The P90 has a fast fire rate of 76, but the real highlight of this weapon is the huge magazine capacity. Its magazine can store up to 50 bullets., more than any other SMG. The weapon has a great accuracy of 43 which trade-in for the short range of only 27.
3. MP5
The MP5 has a rate of fire of 76. It also has a fast reload speed of 77. Overall, the MP5 is a balanced weapon with nothing that is too stand out. It is a stable and easy-to-use weapon that anyone can go for.
2. Thomson
The Thomson is widely considered by many players as the strongest SMG in Free Fire. The weapon has high damage of 50, a high rate of fire of 77, and an overall high stat. The biggest weakness of this weapon is that it is a new weapon in Free Fire so there aren't many skins for it yet to boost its power.
However, that is only a matter of time until it has great skin for its own. But for now, the MP40 will stay as the strongest SMG in Free Fire.
1. MP40
The MP40 is the weapon with the highest rate of fire (83) in Free Fire. Sadly, the MP40 is only effective in close-range and has pretty bad accuracy. It is really hard to utilize the MP40 even in mid-range combats.
The MP40 is the most effective in a city area with many buildings.
