Free Fire OB48 Update Character Rework

Ignis

The flaming screen has evolved to take Bermuda by storm!

"Ignis has always been a fan favorite thanks to his handsome looks. While his skill has matched his stylish appearance, its practicality has sometimes been overshadowed. This time, we're enhancing his functionality by enabling him to blaze a trail forward. With this new ability, Ignis will offer more valuable support and help the team advance."

Shani

Gear Recycle:

When using an active skill, gives 48 → 38 Shield Points to self and teammates within 10m. The Shield Points decay after 55, after which players can obtain the effects again.

  • Cooldown: 18s.

Luqueta

Hat Trick:

Every elimination increases max. Shield Points permanently by 25 → 28. Max. boost: 50 → 48. Clears the effects once the player is eliminated or the round is reset.

Antonio

Gangster's Spirit:

Get 38 → 20 extra Shield Points [-] at the start of the match. Recovers Shield Points after surviving combat.

Koda

Reduced skill cooldown

"With an informative type of Rusher skill, Koda helps players gain advantages before combat. However, it may not keep pace with other Rusher skills. In this patch, we have increased Koda's movement speed and reduced his skill cooldown, making him more effective in direct combat and allowing players to gather information more frequently to plan their next moves."

Gloo Strike:

When hitting enemies or vehicles with rifles & marksman rifles, reduces the enemies' movement speed by 10% or the vehicles' acceleration by 50% → 80% for 35. If the enemy is knocked down while decelerated, freezes them for up to 3s, obtains 1 extra Gloo Wall.

Nikita

More lethal attacks

"With the growing popularity of survival-focused skill combos, healing has become predominant in battles. An enemy with constant healing abilities can come off as invincible to their opponents, which is not ideal for the gameplay we aim for. In the new patch, Nikita, the only character with an anti-healing skill, will receive a skill adjustment that improves her effectiveness in countering high-healing enemies like Ford or Kassie. Paired with her fast reload speed, she can suppress healing more efficiently and take down opponents more quickly."

Firearms Expert:

Reload speed increases by 30%. Every time the skill user hits an enemy, said target will get a 30% → 50% healing deduction that lasts for 18s → 65 (max. deduction: 30% → 50%).
