Q1 WHAT IS THE MEANING OF FREE

FIRE
ANS-DESIGNATING AN AREA IN
WHICH MILITARY PERSONNEL HAVE
AUTHORITY TO SHOOT ON ANYONE
WITHOUT OBTAINING PRIOR
CLEARANCE.

Garena Free Fire is an online-only

action-adventure battle royale game
played in a third person perspective.
The game consists of up to 50 players
falling from a parachute on an island in
search of weapons and equipment to kill
the other players. Players are free to
choose their starting position, take
weapons and supplies to extend their
battle life. When players join a game,
they will enter a plane, which will fly
over the island. While the plane is flying
over the island, the players can jump
where they want, thus allowing them to
choose a strategic place to land away
from enemies. After landing, the players
must then go looking for weapons and
utility items. Medical equipment,
medium and large weapons, grenades,
and other items featured can be found
throughout the island. The ultimate goal
of the players is to survive on the island
with a maximum of 50-51 players
online; this requires eliminating all
opponents the players encounter along
the way and ensuring that they are the
only survivor remaining. The available
safe area of the game's map decreases in
size over time, directing the surviving
players into tighter areas to force
encounters. The last player or team
standing wins the round.

The graphics were described as having

"a benefit for mid and low specification
phones", but a reviewer stated that "if
games with good graphics are your
thing then we don't recommend that
you play Free Fire Battlegrounds. But if
you like battle royale games and want to
have fun with your friends, you should
definitely play."[11] Tais Carvalho of
TechTudo commented that Free Fire
"prioritizes performance, making it a
great choice for any type of device. The
gameplay stands out and has enough
content to entertain and offer rewarding
combat." Regarding the progression of
characters and skills, she said it is "a
flashy add-on."[12] In the Google Play
annual list of "Best Apps of the Year",
Free Fire won in the "Best Popular Vote
Game" category of 2019, being the most
publicly voted in Brazil and in Thailand.
