The pets in Free Fire MAX also have unique abilities like the characters. Players can use these skills to boost the strength of the characters and perform better in Battle Royale and Clash Squad matches.
Much like characters, specific pets help with healing by recovering EP/HPs and aid them in damage protection. Here are a few of the best ones that players can purchase from the in-game by spending diamonds.
