Features of the Free Fire OB41 update revealed
Below are the different features that were specified in the Season 4 Episode 4 of The Kelly Show:
Overhauled Zombie Hunt mode
The overhauled Zombie Hunt mode will perhaps be the most interesting introduction to Free Fire with the OB41 update. The mode now receives a separate selection page, while the PVE option provides diverse gameplay options. Additionally, you now have an out-of-match exchange store to add depth to the overall gameplay. The talent system for the mode has also received improvements.
Redesigned peak
The Peak in Bermuda map has received a complete makeover for the game modes. The entire terrain of the iconic area has been readjusted to make the gameplay engaging, with plenty of cover available across the region with a large central building.
Cyber Airdrop in Clash Squad mode
Cyber Airdrop adds a new touch to the airdrop feature in the Free Fire Clash Squad mode. These drops are transparent in the beginning, but slowly materialize. However, unless these are completely ready, the bullets can still pass through them. Moreover, you will receive exclusive Cyber Points through these that will open the doors to more items in the store.
Other Clash Squad updates
The Clash Squad UI will be improved in the Free Fire OB41 update. Now, you can easily check your teammates' purchases and share the number of coins you possess. Besides all this, you will also receive a message when a teammate drops the weapons.
Solo Dare to revive teammates
The new Solo Dare feature will be accessible in Free Fire squad matches. It will essentially allow the lone surviving player to take up a challenge when all their teammates are dead. Effectively, it will give up your locations to everyone in the match, and you will have to survive for the duration. If you achieve this objective, all your teammates will return to the game.
Suzy character
After thorough testing on the Advance Server, new character Suzy will become part of the game. She comes with an ability called Money Mark. It provides additional in-game currency on every elimination, rewarding you for playing aggressively in Free Fire.
Shield Points mechanic
Shield Points mechanic will certainly bring a great deal of impact on the gameplay. These function as additional health points and can replace your health as you take damage. They will be displayed as a blue bar above your regular HP. Moreover, the abilities of several characters are structured around this aspect.
Character changes
Character changes are abundant in the Free Fire OB41 update. The characters' abilities, including Antonio, Shani, Nairi, and Shirou's, will be reworked. Additionally, the skills of Skyler, Awakened Andrew, and Moco will also be adjusted for a better overall experience.

First, the Battle Tags have been merged into the system. However, the method of acquiring them remains the same. Moreover, these come in fresh with new icons and a better interface for customizing their display on the profile.
Visitor feature on profile

Guns such as SKS, Groza, AK47, and FAMAS will be buffed. Simultaneously, AC80 and Woodpecker will be adjusted.
Target Range improved
