This Free Fire update has a long list of weapon adjustments primarily for better range differentiation. Garena has reduced the effective range for shotguns and SMGs, while they have improved the assault rifles' effective range.

The change becomes even more important as a clear distinction is available to players for the guns to use in a particular range. Gamers will likely utilize ARs while engaging in mid to long-range fights, while they may only use SMGs and shotguns for short-range combat.

The Credit System will be available starting at 11:00 a.m. (GMT +8) on 25 March. It is a positive step towards a more enjoyable gaming experience since gamers that engage in inappropriate behavior will be penalized.

Accounts that have been reported and proven to be involved in throwing games, being AFK, forcing quitting, and more will have their scores reduced.

A score below 90 suggests a ban from CS-Ranked that is lower than 80 indicates a ban from BR-Ranked. Gamers can regain points per game through their good behavior, and the developers will also reward them for a perfect score.
