What is DPS in Free Fire![]()
If you don’t know what is DPS, then let’s find out what it is. DPS stands for damage per second. It is obviously different from initial damage. DPS is the average damage that a weapon has for every second. Every weapon has a different DPS in Free Fire, according to the specification.
Getting to know the DPS of a weapon is quite simple. All you have to do is to multiply the damage and the rate of fire of a weapon. With more bullets coming out per second, the higher the DPS will be. An SMG is usually the weapon with a good damage per second. Even though the damage of an SMG is usually not that huge, but the rate of fire of an SMG is really high in general.
So try not to judge a weapon merely from the damage rate only. Try to look deeper on the weapon’s specification. If you’re looking at a weapon with a high rate of fire, that weapon might actually be a deadly weapon despite the average damage rate.
Some weapons with a high DPS in Free Fire includes MP40, Thompson, UMP, and a scar.

High DPS is a more important aspect to look for rather than initial damage. In close range, the probability of you missing a shot is really possible. This is where DPS can help you with that issue. If you miss some shots, you can still be able to kill your enemy with high DPS weapon. However, with huge initial damage, you can’t simply miss some of your shot. As it will be dangerous for you in that close range battle..
