No one wants to engage in close combat in Free Fire, just as no one brings a sword to a gunfight... However, knowing how to use melee weapons is not a bad thing, because sometimes when you run out of ammo, you have to use them.
Scythe - A weapon set to appear in the Free Fire update on 1/1/2020
Introducing the New Scythe Weapon in Free Fire
This weapon will be added in the New Year update, Garena Free Fire 1/1/2021 as part of the Military Island 2.0 map. Its drop rate will be similar to other melee weapons, and at this point, we're still unsure whether it will drop on the Military Island or the Desert Island.
Overall, the new Scythe weapon in Free Fire is intricately designed, with a long wooden handle and a curved blade at the end. It will be the longest melee weapon in Free Fire, with more damage range than the Sword or Pan, although its attack speed is certainly slower to compensate for this.
A little-known fact about the new Scythe weapon in Free Fire is that the Scythe has existed in previous versions of the game... as part of a special game mode called Death Match. It's unknown whether this game mode will appear as part of this update.
Strategies for Using the New Scythe Weapon in Free Fire
Because the Scythe weapon is quite large, you can block bullets by swinging it multiple times similar to other melee weapons. Its large range allows you to fight better in tight areas; try hiding to ambush enemies passing by, aiming for headshots with the extended range of the scythe.
