Free Fire CS mode is the best game mode for fast gameplay and close combat skills. Besides, winning CS rank mode and ranking up also gives players a lot of Free Fire season rewards. Check out the best tips and tricks for Free Fire CS ranked mode here.

#1. Have Right Character Combo

To have proper skill combos for the best game results, you need to combine proper characters. There are many character combos in Free Fire CS ranked mode.

As in CS modes, you only engage in close combat, you need to choose characters with both aggressive and offensive skills. Players need to choose characters with healing abilities so that they can heal EP and HP without having to use consumables, such as DJ Alok.

#2. Select Right Weapons

Weapons' power is very important in close combat in CS ranked mode. Skilled players can still lose the game when being attacked by powerful weapons, such as M1887. Shotguns and SMGs are the best weapon choices for close combat in Free Fire CS ranked mode.

The best weapon combination for CS Ranked mode should include an assault rifle and a shotgun. You can cover both mid-range and close combat with this gun combo.

#3. Try To Get High Ground

The high ground often gives players good shooting angles. From high positions, you can spot enemies easier and faster than when you are on the ground. But you should watch out for snipers.

In CS ranked mode, you need a scout on the high ground to notify teammates of enemies' positions to make plans for the whole team. That scout should have great sniping skills to cover longer distances from high positions. Besides, Maro and Laura's abilities are also good for this role.

#4. Block Enemies With Gloo Walls

Spamming Gloo Wall is a pro tactic in Free Fire CS ranked mode. As Clash Squad ranked matches take place in a small area, you can use Gloo Walls to block some possible paths and important access points. Then, enemies cannot rush to kill you easily. Enemies need to fire and break these walls if they want to get through. Next, you can locate them by hearing the gun sound.

These Gloo Walls are also a great cover to hide when you need to fall back for healing or reloading bullets. So, place as many Gloo Walls as possible.

#5. Don't Rush A Head

It's a deadly mistake when rushing ahead without having information about campers, especially in a fast-paced mode like CS. Don't rush enemies in this mode. You should wait for him to lose his patience and rush you first.

Players often make mistakes when rushing and campers have more chances to win because he is more well-prepared and well-covered.

Free Fire Clash Squad has just started, and the beginning of the season is probably the best time for rank pushing. To do this successfully, picking the correct character skills is a must. In this article, we are going to list out the best characters for rank push in Free Fire Clash Squad Season 9.

1 - Alok

With Chrono's ability massively nerfed, Alok's Drop the Beat has risen to the top and become the best skill in the game, once again. It is still an all-rounder skill that any player could pick.

Drop the Beat's costless healing and speed are useful in both Battle Royale and Clash Squad. If you are having problems with picking an active ability, Alok is probably your best generic choice, as he won't clash with any builds.

2 - Jota

After the OB29 buff, Jota has become a top tier character in both battle royale and clash squad. With Jota's ability, players would recover some HP when hitting an enemy, with a further 20% HP boost when knocking down one.

In clash squad's fast and brutal combat, you might not have enough time to pop a heal. Jota's sustained assault deals with that problem by allows you to regain HP while shooting.

3 - Wukong

Playing mind games with Wukong's camouflage can be very effective, especially in the early rounds of the match. At max level, you can turn into a Bush for 15 seconds and surprise enemies rushing past.

The best part about this skill is that taking down enemies would reset the cooldown, allowing you to disguise once again. Just avoid using it on locations that a bush can't grow like buildings or concrete.

4 - Dimitri

Dimitri has become one of the best characters in the game and an alternate choice to Alok. His skill is a similar healing aura, however, it also allows players and teammates to get up by themselves if downed. B

y activating Healing Heartbeat at the right time, you can save teammates while fighting enemies simultaneously. Furthermore, you can also activate it during a sniper battle to avoid one hit kills - enemies won't be close enough to finish you off while you are getting up under the skill's effect.

5 - Shirou

Thiva, the only character to get a buff in the OB30 patch, is definitely more useful now. His ability is best used in combination with high damage weapons like Shotguns or Sniper rifles to make use of the 100% AP shot. The tracking is fairly useful in both close and medium range fights in Free Fire Clash Squad season 9, as enemies can be anywhere in this mode.

In the OB30 update, Garena has made several additions, along with many nerfs and buffs to weapons in Free Fire. This will affect a lot to the choice of weapons of players to push rank in Ranked Free Fire Clash Squad Season 9.

MAG-7

With the nerf to the Vector in the OB30 update, the MAG-7 has just got better. This shotgun has a high rate of fire and decent range. It also has a large magazine so you make a series of shots, unlike the M1887. The MAG-7 is certain one of the must-pick weapons in Ranked Free Fire Clash Squad Season 9.

XM8

The XM8 is a great choice if you want to support your teammate from the back. The XM8 is an AR with a high range, damage, and rate of fire. However, this weapon also has high recoil than the like of M4A1 and SCAR.

Supporting your teammate from the back is very important while not too hard. You will be mostly in a safe position and don't have to move around a lot. While the supporting position doesn't sound glorious, it contributes greatly to the victory of your team.

MP5-X

The MP5-X is another great option in Free Fire Clash Squad Ranked Season 9. It is a decent SMG while having a very cheap price. In addition, the MP5-X has a higher effective range than many other SMG, which makes it a more versatile weapon in Ranked Free Fire Clash Squad.

Free Fire Clash Squad Rank Tricks -  Free Fire is one of the most popular battle royale games in the world with hundreds of millions of players. Apart from the classic battle royale mode, Free Fire also features a mode called Clash Squad.

In Clash Squad, 8 teams will split into 2 teams of 4 players to fight in a small area. Players have to buy their own items and weapons. There are many rounds in a Clash Squad match. The first team to win 4 rounds win a match.

The Clash Squad mode also has a rank system for players with the same skill level to compete with each other. This makes it harder to win in Clash Squad rank mode than the casual mode. But with the Free Fire Clash Squad Ranked tips and tricks below, you will find that it is actually not that hard.

1. Know The Hidden Locations

Unlike the battle royale mode, Free Fire Clash Squad is played in a rather small location. This means camping will be much more effective in Clash Squad as long as you can find a good location. There are many hidden locations that can give you the surprise advantage and take down the enemy easily.

Even if you don't use these locations, you still need to know them in case there is an enemy there. You will be able to kill them easily if you spot them first at these hidden locations. You can learn about these locations in the Free Fire Clash Squad video.

2. Coordinate with your team

Since Clash Squad is a 4 vs 4 mode, having a team who understands you and knows how to play together is very important. This can be hard for many people as most players play Clash Squad with random people. However, you can still try to communicate with your team using the in-game voice function.

Though playing Clash Squad may bring you some annoyance (eg: teammate auto-buy AWM and soon run out of money), it is best for you to stick with at least another teammate to cover him or let him cover you. Even if you counter an enemy and get killed, the other teammate can get a kill back for you.

3. Always try to plank the enemy

As mentioned, the map of the Clash Squad mode is small and the spawn location of each team is fixed. This means you can take a long rotation around the map to take down the enemy behind their back. It is best to follow the edge of the map from covers to covers to reach the other side.

Once you are there, the job is really simple. Just aim and kill them from their back. If you do it right, you can get several kills without losing a single HP. Of course, some enemies will do this to your team as well so be careful. This is one of the most important Free Fire Clash Squad rank tricks.

4. Gun combination in the team

A team in Clash Squad has 4 players. Image if all 4 players use close-range weapons or use long-range weapons. It is going to be a disaster as the whole can be countered easily. It not that you can't ever win with those strategies.

If you sometimes use them to surprise the enemy to win a round then it is great. But if your team does that all the time then your enemy can overrun you easily.

The recommend gun combinations in Clash Squad is having 2 players playing the rusher with an SMG or shotgun while the other two get an AR and sniper rifle to cover from far away. This is the most common and most effective strategy in Free Fire Clash Squad rank tricks.

5. Character Combination

Character combination is a very important factor in Free Fire that will bring you victory in both the battle royale mode and the Clash Squad mode. No doubt using the right character is a must in Free Fire Clash Squad rank tricks.

Generally, you would want to prioritize less on mobility in Clash Squad mode because of the nature of the mode. Some great characters in the battle royale mode might not be so great in the Clash Squad mode.

Here are the best characters to use in Free Fire Clash Squad mode.

Chrono

Chrono just got a nerf recently that increases the cooldown of his skill. Well, his skill is still really good. Blocking 600 incoming damage is no joke at all. The only option the enemy has when you active Chrono's skill is to hide or risk their life running inside the shield.

Hayato Awaken

Hayato Awaken is just one of the best passive skills after the buff in the OB27 update. It increases both your survivability and damage output whenever your HP gets low.

Alok

Alok has been one of the best characters in Free Fire since he was released and he is also among the best active abilities in Clash Squad. You get a good amount of healing and movement speed boost

Antonio

Antonito is a cheap and very effective character in Free Fire. His skill gives you 35 Max HP at the start of the game. Your HP reset after each round so you don't worry about not having enough healing.

K

K is the best healing character in Free Fire and he can regenerate an unlimited amount of EP passively. Healing is kind of limited in Clash Squad Since you have to buy a Med Kit in order to heal. With K, you can keep your HP up all the time easily.

Garena Free Fire has made progress over the years to turn itself into one of the most successful titles of the battle royale genre. The game has gradually stepped up to reach popularity and achieved a stable player base. It was also recorded as one of the games that have the most viewers while going live on YouTube in 2020.

We'd like to provide you all the information you need about the CS mode in Free Fire, including its features and a how-to-play guideline. 

Clash Squad mode in Free Fire 

Clash Squad is a round-based 4v4 game mode. There are two sides called Warbringers and Howlers and players have to play 7 rounds, and the team that wins 4 of those first gains the Booyah. 

Players can also compete with each other by playing ranked matches. With each tier reached, there are different rewards to receive. This current season offers the “Golden - P90” for every player who climbs to Gold 3. The Clash Squad mode can be played in two maps - Bermuda and Kalahari. 

In this mode, there’s no need to collect loot like players often do in the BR mode. Before one round starts, players have some time to select what to buy to prepare for the fight, which can be armor, guns, utilities, etc. 

Players must do their shopping wisely as what they buy may affect their team’s winning chance. 

How to play Clash Squad in Free Fire 

Check out these steps given below to figure out how to play the Clash Squad mode: 

Step 1: Launch Garena Free Fire on your device, then choose the mode selection option. 

Step 2: All of the in-game game modes will appear on the screen. 

Step 3: There will be two options for the Clash Squad mode: “Clash Squad” or “Clash Squad - Ranked”. It’s up to you to choose what to play. 

Step 4: Finally, hit the “Start” button to experience your own Clash Squad battle.

If you usually find it confusing to choose which Free Fire characters to use in the fast-paced gameplay of the Clash Squad mode, you’re at the right place. We’ve just jotted down a list of attractive and easy-to-play female characters for Clash Squad-based battlegrounds, so look no further.

1. A124

Ability: Thrill of Battle

A124’s "Thrill of Battle" is an exceptional skill that provides you with an invincible health shield by converting EP to HP, really coming in handy for Clash Squad playstyle.

2. Kapella

Ability: Healing Song

Thanks to the ability named "Healing Song", Kapella is another all-around choice when you need a constant healing source on the battlefield of Clash Squad. This ability not only gives a boost on healing items and skills but also cuts down the HP loss of your allies.

3. Moco

Ability: Hacker’s Eye

Moco is no doubt a great supporter for other teammates as they can track real-time info of the enemies who have been tagged by her distinctive ability "Hacker’s Eye" and then reveal the enemy locations with ease. The duration of the tag only lasts for 2 seconds at the base level, but this will significantly increase in accordance with Moco’s levels.

4. Laura

Ability: Sharp Shooter

As suggested, "Sharp Shooter" is capable of helping Laura land more accurate shots on the foes during the gunfights. It’s worth trying out this character as soon as possible if you’re new to Clash Squad but still want to eliminate your opponents effortlessly. At the maximum level, the accuracy of a scoped-in firearm is increased by 30.

5. Dasha

Ability: Partying On

Dasha’s special skill will impact your overall performance significantly once you pick her and throw yourself into the Clash Squad mode. In particular, "Partying On" plays a crucial role in both reducing recoil and fall damage as well as recovery time from falling based on particular levels.

Like most of the Battle Royale games, Free Fire’s competition lies in its ranked game modes. Each game mode like Clash Squad and Battle Royale has its own ranking and the ultimate goal that every player aims at is the Grand Master tier. 

But, it is quite clear that achieving the Grand Master tier is not easy. One has to practice and put in a lot of effort as well as time to gain this target. 

For anyone who desires this Grand Master tier, especially in the Clash Squad Season 4 of the Free Fire, take a look at the tips below.

Play with friends and teammates

Playing in squads or duos will boost your rank a lot, but playing in a random team is another story. You can not expect smooth teamwork if you can not practice with them before the match. 

Therefore, playing with the same players and your friends will have a huge benefit in the entire power of the team. From that point on, each team member can utilize that opportunity to climb up the rank faster in the Clash Squad mode. 

Carry close-combat weapons 

A typical feature of this game mode that the players have to follow is the close-quarter combat. Because of this kind of gameplay, shotguns will be the best choice if you want to have a higher rank. 

But why? Because you can make full use of a shotgun to eliminate all of the enemies against you at a close distance. Therefore you can gain a quite stable position in the whole match. 

Play safely 

No matter what kind of match you play, from solo to squad, playing safely to avoid frags is always a worth-considering suggestion. 

Due to the fact that you will not have to fight against too many rivals, staying at low-key to keep a safe speed of playing is always an amazing strategy to survive while your rank pushing is still maintained. 

Consistency and practice

“Practice makes perfect” is not anything too strange with us. By playing efficiently and persistently in the Clash Squad mode in Free Fire, your climbing up the rank will be not too challenging. 

Another thing that should be noticed is your consistency with the settings and in-game HUD because they can play an important role in your rank pushing process. 

Stick to the squad

Last but not least, try to stick to your squad throughout the game. By doing this, you can help and also be helped in need, especially in emergencies. If one is split from the team, he can be turned into prey under the view of other enemies.

Free Fire has introduced a new Golden skin for the legendary pistol G18. This exclusive skin is the grand prize of the current Clash Squad Rank season 2. Here is the guide on how to get this skin for free. Check it out with Gurugamer.com.

How To Get Free Fire Golden G18 Skin For Free

Free Fire is giving away G18 Golden Skin for free as a Clash Squad Ranked season 2 reward for players. This event started at 2.30 pm on July 30th, 2020. And players will have a lot of time to complete the mission and get this reward. The event will end after 1 p.m on September 24th.

If you still remember, the reward for players who reached the Gold III Tier in Clash Squad season 1 was the Golden Desert Eagle Skin. The exclusive reward for the Clash Squad Ranked mode this season is a Gold Skin for the legendary pistol G18. You can claim it during the event when you reach the Gold III Tier. Therefore, you need to push rank in Clash Squad Rank mode only.

This exclusive skin will make your pistol look better and help you win the first round od Clash Squad Rank marches. Let me remind you that in this game mode, you will start with this pistol and have to win to upgrade your weapon in the next round.

In addition, the game also gives you many other rewards apart from this grand prize. Free Fire players can receive many small rewards when they rank up, such as Vouchers, Character Fragments, Play cards, etc. But only by reaching Gold III Tier can you claim the grand prize of Golden G18 Skin. So, you should focus on pushing rank to get this exclusive skin for free before the season ends.

In the April update, Free Fire received the Clash Squad mode, already known to the crowd, in the ranked version. Unlike classic matches, Clash Squad Ranked is affected by the number of wins and losses. This means that the more booyahs, the higher the rank.

Since the CS rank is individual, that is, it is not affected by the player's rank in classic mode, it is necessary to start from scratch - from bronze - before reaching Heroic. To help people who want to move up the rank or simply understand Clash Squad better, we have made a small guide consisted of many tips so you can do well and help out your squad.

1. Spend your money well

In CS you make purchases at the beginning of each round. In order to ensure that resources and protection are not lacking, it is necessary to think carefully before spending your money. Talk to your squadmates, choose the weapons you're used to and don't forget to guarantee healing, gloo and ammo.

In the Kapella Patch, the Clash Squad Store has been updated. This time, the pricings have been worked out in a manner which makes it difficult for players to carry both a short-range and a long-range gun, simultaneously, right off the start. The XM8 and M1014 are now costlier than what they were previously. The Kar98k now comes pre attached with the Biometric Scope.

There’s a new throwable available; Smoke Grenades! Priced at $300. Each player can only carry one of these grenades every round. We’ll take more about its use in the next topic. Considering, the tight pricings, it’s really important to have a clear mind on what to buy and whether to save some money for the next rounds or not.

2. Communication in Free Fire is essential

If in a Battle Royale match, it is already very important to talk to the squad to guarantee the best strategy, in CS constant communication can be the key to victory. There are only eight players during the game, on a very small map. This means that everything happens very fast, and listening to the right calls for teammates is very necessary to guarantee booyah.

3. Watch out for corners and sides

There are two usual types of players in Clash Squad: rushers and ambushers. In CS, there aren't many spots where you can hide, but you can still find a good cover and wait for enemies to appear. So move your camera around a lot to make sure you have a pretty good view of all the corners around you. Often enemies will be on your back or right in your face, so double your attention!

4. Be careful when looting

The map is small and the game is fast, so those seconds to loot the downed enemy can turn into a deadly moment. If necessary, make sure there is no one around and ask a companion to cover while picking up items from the floor.

5. Use and abuse the gloo wall

If in a common match the gloo is already a great savior, in Clash Squad it is essential. Use the gloo wall to close areas, deceive opponents and protect yourself while waiting for teammates to reach the same spot as you are. Using this item well can help (and a lot) when it comes to targeting enemies and taking a few seconds to think about the next strategy.

6. Choose wisely which Free Fire character and pet to use

Characters and pets have special abilities that help a lot during confrontations. In Clash Squad these functions can be even more useful, as resources are limited and any extra help is welcome. Give preference to character + pet combos that have to do with healing or extra damage, two extremely important points in the CS mode to ensure victory.

7. Take advantage of heights

It is possible to climb various structures on the map, so use this higher ground advantage to surprise enemies from angles they don't expect. Just don't forget that they can do the same thing to you, so climb up carefully and make sure that no one else is on the prowl.

8. Try to stay with a full squad

The squad is not always in the mood to play together, but in CS the strength in number is necessary. Even if the player manages to pull it off solo while being paired with three other players, it sometimes happens that the game starts without a full squad. The disadvantage of having just one player less can be a huge difference at the time of heated combat, so to avoid this risk, try to start the game with the whole squad.

9. Kills are important, but don't lose focus

To get to Heroic it is necessary to win many matches, so prioritize winning, even if you lose a few kills on the way. There's no point killing too much and losing them all, right? So create good strategies to find a good balance between eliminating enemies and still win without problems.

10. All for one and one for all

Don’t act recklessly. Respect your teammates’ determination and eagerness to win. Don’t rush too much, especially if the rest of the squad isn’t their to beck you up. Don’t depend entirely on your teammates. Prioritize reviving your teammates over looting and spraying when the odds are already against your team winning.

Don’t lose sanity or get carried away too much in the heat of the moment. Follow the strategies your team comes up with. Though, there are substantial precedents for players not to follow the team plan sometimes and edge your way towards the glory of being a true Hero!
