5 best Free Fire characters with active abilities after OB27 update

Characters in Garena Free Fire have unique abilities that aid players during matches. These skills are classified into two types: active and passive.

An active ability requires a cooldown period, while a passive ability does not. However, this is not so with all abilities, although there are exceptions.

After Free Fire's recent OB27 update, many characters have been buffed and nerfed and their abilities, along with their cooldown times, have been changed.

This article lists down the best active abilities of characters after the major OB27 update of Free Fire.
