Free Fire OB26 update expected release date

Garena Free Fire is one of the most popular battle royale games on the mobile platform. Its immense growth can be attributed to the developers, who frequently introduce new features to the game with regular updates.

The latest iteration of the game, i.e., OB25, was released back in December. The Free Fire OB26 Advance Server was recently rolled out, providing players with an opportunity to test a series of new features before they are introduced in the game.

Characters

Two new characters, Shirou and Mystery Character, were present in the Free Fire OB26 Advance Server and are expected to be added in the new update.

Shirou

The description of Shirou reads:

“Shirou is the fastest delivery guy around.”

The character boasts a passive ability called Damage Delivered. At level 1, when the player is hit by an enemy within 50m, he will be marked for three seconds (only visible to the user).

The first shot on the marked opponent has a 10% additional armor penetration. It has a cooldown of 60 seconds.

Mystery Character

The Mystery Character has an active ability called Riptide Rhythm. The ability can unleash a sonic wave, damaging five gloo walls within 20m at the base level. Every gloo wall deployed will result in increasing HP recovery of the player, beginning with 2 points.
