Understanding the Ranking System
Free Fire's ranked system rewards both placement and kills. However, survival is always worth more points than eliminations, especially at higher ranks.
Point Breakdown
| Placement | Points | |-----------|--------| | #1 (Booyah) | +20 to +30 | | Top 3 | +12 to +18 | | Top 5 | +8 to +12 | | Top 10 | +4 to +6 | | Bottom 12 | -5 to -15 |
Kills are worth approximately +3 to +5 points each, capped at around +20 from kills per game.
Strategy by Rank Tier
Bronze to Gold (Aggressive)
At lower ranks, point deductions are minimal. Play aggressively, hot drop, and focus on improving your combat skills.
- Hot drop Clock Tower or Peak
- Take every fight
- Practice weapon switching and gloo wall mechanics
Gold to Diamond (Balanced)
Point deductions increase. Start balancing aggression with survival.
- Land at medium-traffic spots
- Fight early, then play for placement
- Start learning rotation timing
Diamond to Heroic (Survival-First)
At Diamond+, losing points for early deaths is brutal. Prioritize top 5 placement.
- Land at safe spots with vehicles nearby
- Only take fights you can win quickly
- Master zone rotation and positioning
- Always carry gloo walls and medkits
