Smoke grenades fill an area with smoke. For some time, these grenades reduce visibility.

Gloo grenades deploy gloo walls upon tossing. Gloo walls vanish after a while, and a player can use 3 gloo walls at a time. If a fourth wall is deployed, the oldest one vanishes.

How to use Smoke Grenades effectively in Free Fire

Smoke grenades are mostly useful in escaping and causing confusion. They affect visibility for a while. Here are some tips for using smoke grenades effectively:

1) Toss them inside the shelters

Several passive players camp in shelters. To ambush them, first, check the house through windows and then surprise them with smoke grenades. Dashing in without smoke grenades increases the chances of combat.

2) Turn the scope on before tossing

When smoke grenades block vision, they also disable the auto-aim feature in Free Fire. This helps catch the enemies off guard. If the enemy is not used to aiming manually, it will take a while to adjust their aim.

Meanwhile, to keep visibility relatively unaffected, players should equip scope before throwing grenades.

3) Smoke grenades + Gloo wall

Smoke grenades + gloo wall is an unbeatable combination. Especially in squad situations, the combo comes in handy for trapping enemies, distracting them, and getting out of bottlenecks.
