Since the release of the Free Fire OB38 Advance Server a few days ago, the community has been quite engaged with the client, eager to try out all of the new additions. The developers appear to be testing almost every possible feature in the Advance Server, ranging from a mystery character and pet to an entirely new set of gameplay mechanisms in both the BR as well as CS modes.
Interestingly, there are a few limitations on who has access to this client. First of all, the Advance Server is limited to the Android platform. Additionally, Garena has implemented an Activation Code system, which restricts access. This code is mandatory, and there's no other way for gamers to enter the client.
Read through the following article to access the Advance Server and test out the new features before the arrival of the official OB38 update on January 2023.
Note: Due to the ban imposed on Free Fire in India, players from the country should avoid playing the battle royale title or its Advance Server. In this case, they can wait for the official update in Free Fire MAX.
