Garena has released the Free Fire OB46 update with major gameplay changes. The update is now live on Google Play and the App Store.

New Character

The OB46 update introduces a new character with a unique ability that provides a temporary speed boost after knockdowns. This ability is useful in aggressive rushing play styles and Clash Squad matches.

Weapon Balance Changes

The M4A1 receives a slight damage buff making it more competitive at medium range. The Thompson SMG gets improved accuracy while moving. The crossbow damage has been reduced after community feedback about one-shot potential.

Bermuda Map Update

Several areas of the Bermuda map have been redesigned. The Peak area now has additional cover and loot spawn points. A new underground tunnel connects Factory to Clock Tower, providing a safer rotation path.

Clash Squad Season 22

The new Clash Squad ranked season begins with reset. Reaching Gold rank rewards a permanent character skin. Diamond rank rewards include exclusive weapon skins and a title.

Event Calendar

The OB46 celebration event runs for two weeks with login rewards, missions, and a community goal for free rewards. A new collaboration event is teased for mid-month.

Get Ready

Make sure your diamond balance is topped up for new character and cosmetic releases. Early adopters of new characters often have an advantage in ranked matches.
