Nailing headshots in Garena Free Fire is the fastest way to drop enemies since they hit way harder than body shots. With 2025 shaking up the weapon lineup, here’s a rundown of the top 10 guns for landing those crispy headshots, based on the latest patches and how well they work for precise aim.
10 - VSS
The VSS got a big overhaul in the May 2025 patch, swapping its old bleeding effect for a 3-round auto-fire mode. It’s now got better fire rate, accuracy, and a bigger mag, making it solid for mid-range headshots. The built-in silencer keeps things quiet, so you can snipe heads without giving away your spot. It’s not the hardest hitter, but it’s great early to mid-game.
9 - SKS
The SKS marksman rifle got a nice boost in the February 2025 update, with extra headshot damage. It’s a beast for long-range shots, especially against armored enemies, thanks to its high damage and penetration. You’ll need good aim and positioning, but it’s worth it for those clean headshot kills.
8 - AC80
The AC80, another marksman rifle, also got a headshot damage buff in February 2025. It’s great for picking off enemies with one or two well-aimed shots from a distance. Not as versatile as assault rifles, but it’s a solid pick for players who like to line up headshots from afar.
7 - M14
The M14’s now a sniper rifle after the May 2025 update, with 10% more armor penetration and 30% extra damage against ice walls. Its high damage and long range make it perfect for headshots, especially if you grab the Raging Beast attachment for burst-fire mode. It’s a strong choice for players who can aim well.
6 - SVD
The SVD’s a rare airdrop-only sniper rifle, but it’s a monster for headshots. Its high damage and armor penetration can one-shot enemies, even with good helmets. It’s tough to find, but if you get it, you’ll be dropping players left and right from long range.
5 - FAMAS
The FAMAS is a burst-fire assault rifle that’s great for mid-range headshots. The May 2025 patch made its burst interval faster, so it’s easier to land those three-shot bursts on heads. It’s tricky in close fights since it’s not full-auto, but if you’ve got good aim, it’s a solid pick.
4 - M1887
The M1887 shotgun is a beast up close, with 100 base damage that can one-shot enemies with a headshot. Its tight spread and high accuracy, especially with skins like Rapper Underworld or Tropical Parrot, make it easier to aim for the head in melee range. It takes skill, but it’s deadly.
3 - SCAR
The SCAR is super beginner-friendly, with balanced stats and low recoil. Its high fire rate (61) and decent accuracy (41) make it great for dragging headshots in mid-to-long-range fights. Add level 3 attachments, and it becomes a headshot machine.
2 - AWM
The AWM sniper rifle is a long-range headshot king, with 90 damage and armor-piercing rounds that can one-shot enemies. The built-in 8x scope and high accuracy (90) make it perfect for sniping heads from far away. It’s airdrop-only and reloads slowly, but the headshot power is unmatched.
1 - Groza
The Groza is still the top dog for headshots in 2025. With 61 damage, 75 range, and low recoil, it’s a beast in mid-to-long-range fights. The May 2025 patch kept it balanced but dominant. It’s airdrop-only, but if you snag one, you’ll be running the show.
