If we talk about news, especially the updates that will come in the next Free Fire update , on September 21, 2022, of course we couldn't help but talk about the Nerfs of weapons . Although the developers usually choose a certain weapon to make adjustments, this time they decided to adjust two complete categories, they are: Shotguns (TWELVE) and SMG (Submachine Guns).

In general, Nerf is a decrease in a weapon's attribute, that is, when the characteristics of the item are modified to decrease its performance in order to balance the game.

According to the Free Fire developers, the submachine guns and shotguns were very powerful and that's why adjustments were needed to balance the matches.

“In addition to the regular weapon upgrades, we also adjusted the headshot damage. Have you ever been suddenly eliminated but unable to locate the attacking enemy? In this update, you have a chance to respond to an ambush, such as placing a Wall of Ice behind you and letting your teammates protect you while you heal.”

Beforehand, players can check below which features will be Nerfed :

shotguns

  • MAG-7 : Muzzle Attachment removed. Maximum range of highest headshot damage: 7 → 5 meters.

  • SPAS12 : Gun Mouth Accessory removed. Maximum range of highest headshot damage: 8 → 5 meters. Minimum distance of highest headshot damage: 13 → 12 meters.

  • M1887 : Muzzle and butt slots available. Maximum range of highest headshot damage: 7 → 5 meters.

  • M1014 : Maximum range of highest headshot damage: 5 → 4 meters.

In other words, it can be said that the Free Fire Shotguns listed above will have reduced range. Likewise, the greater the distance, the less damage when hitting opponents in the head.

SMG - Submachine guns

In addition to the Shotguns listed above, SMG (Submachine Guns) weapons have also suffered a widespread Nerf , with the exception of the VSS .

  • Maximum range of highest headshot damage: 12 → 8 meters.

As with Shotguns, SMG-type Free Fire weapons will also suffer a Nerf , the maximum head damage, which was previously achieved at up to 12 meters away, has now dropped to just 8 meters.

It is worth remembering that the adjustments are not yet available in the game and will be implemented from next Wednesday (21), after the Free Fire September 2022 update .
