Tips for playing in Free Fire's Alpine arena

Free Fire offers a variety of maps to explore, each with a different setting and motif. Alpine showcases the snowy mountainside region of the Free Fire world.

Here, you'll learn everything you need to know about Alpine – from its overall layout and size to the best places to drop in – whether you want a slow start or want to drop into the heat of the action. There's a lot to explore with Alpine, and this guide will help you get the lay of the land.

Alpine is a massive 8 x 8 km map with plenty of areas to explore and loot. The map is roughly divided into three landmasses. The southwestern portion of the map, with locales like Blue Ville, Ocean View and Forest Red, is separated from the mainland by a river, which cuts through the maps in a semi-circle shape.

Another notable location, Vantage, lies to the southeast and is a small island-like part of the map completely detached from the mainland by the ocean. Dropping here is risky, as you could find yourself without an escape route with an enemy barrelling down on you, but the loot here is sometimes worth the fight.

Each map in Free Fire has locations that attract more players at the start of a match due to their strategic placement or the amount and quality of loot present. These three areas in the Alpine map will be rife with loot and enemies from the get go. If you drop here, be ready for a fight.

If you're the kind of person who prefers to drop into a more quiet setting and build a solid supply of loot, Alpine has a few great options for you as well. These are spots off of the beaten path that lack a lot of buildings for cover, so are rarely visited by players. All that means is that you are free to loot and explore without worrying about enemies!

Winning a match on Alpine is a test of patience, even when you land in a particularly crowded area. This is a massive map stuffed with buildings and loot, and you need to spend some time finding a weapon or two in whichever location you choose.

From there, you'll need to be wary of both the areas cut off by water – like Vantage and the more mountainous regions. Coasting through a match, only to get eliminated because you got stuck at the base of a hill, would be a rather embarrassing way to go.
