Free Fire MAX Light Fest: Free rewards, calendar, and more

Every month, Garena's Free Fire and Free Fire MAX welcome various new rewards through special events from a particular series. In August and September, the 5th Anniversary celebrations introduced plenty of exclusive items, while the Tatsuya-themed Double Trouble events were active for the OB36 (month of September) update.

Following this trend, Garena has now unveiled a new event series, Light Fest, for Indian players on Friday, 7 October. As the name suggests, this latest event series is themed around the festival of Diwali and will feature a wide variety of free rewards, including pets, outfits, vouchers, item cosmetics, loadout accessories, Magic Cubes, and many more.

In the following section, readers can learn more about the Light Fest calendar and ongoing events.

A major Light Fest series event, which is currently active in Garena Free Fire MAX, is Gather the Light. It went online on 7 October and will remain active until 28 October, during which players can grab free rewards via the Exchange Store.

Players must obtain Light tokens and later use them to redeem the featured rewards. Here are the tasks that provide free Light tokens in Garena Free Fire MAX:

• Log in one time - One token
• Play for 20 minutes in BR - Three tokens
• Kill five enemies in BR - Three tokens
• Play two BR matches - Three tokens
• Play one CS match with friends - Three tokens
• Kill enemies with headshots one time in CS - Three tokens
• Booyah two times in CS - Three tokens

Players must complete all these tasks in either the casual or ranked mode of Garena's Free Fire MAX. All the tasks will reset daily at 4:00 am (IST), so players should try to complete them before the reset.

Once they have accumulated enough Light tokens, they can head to the Exchange Store to grab free vouchers, cards, item cosmetics, gun crates, and many more.

The legendary gun skins and pets are the main highlight of Exchange Store 1 (7 October to 28 October):

Featured legendary gun skins (only one is redeemable):

Much like Exchange Store 1, Exchange Store 2 will introduce rare rewards such as costume bundles and emotes on 14 October 2022, which will be redeemable with Light tokens.
