BR Changes

A few new utility items will be incorporated into battle royale mode with the Free Fire MAX OB38, adding another layer to the gameplay. First, Loot Radar will help gamers find better loot relatively easily. Additionally, Jammer will make their way into the game and help avoid detection from UAV, Clu, and even Otho.

Arsenal is a new loot area available in this mode to provide higher-tier loot more conveniently. This addition is likely to attract players and will be a contention place. Moreover, the Self Revive option in solo mode during the first three minutes could be a game changer.

CS update

Players faced the problem of enemies camping in the safe zone, and to overcome this issue, Garena will release a new gameplay feature in the Free Fire MAX OB38 update. The safe zones will move slightly in the Clash Squad mode, making the matches more competitive.

---

Character skill slots

All character skill slots will be unlocked for free by default once the Free Fire MAX OB38 update is in effect. Earlier, gamers had to spend diamonds and gold to unlock these slots and create further combinations.

Character adjustments

In the Free Fire MAX OB38 update, the abilities of Kenta and Skyler will be altered. The latter will deal damage over time in an area to the Gloo Wall on impact, while in the case of the former, the shield will stay up when firing, albeit with damage reduction.

New pet and character

A new pet and character from the Free Fire OB38 Advance Server will be added to the game. The pet is called Kactus and has a Self Sufficient ability that restores 10 EP per second when the player stays still for six seconds.

Santino is a new character to be added, and his Shape Splitter will allow you to send a decoy forward. Subsequently, you will also have the option to teleport to its location. This character will provide more ways to outplay opponents.

Gamers can wait for Garena to release the patch notes due in the coming days to learn more about these features.
