With almost every major update, Free Fire adds a character or two. Pets, on the other hand, are not added that frequently.
Both characters and pets have special abilities that players can use in Battle Royale and Clash Squad matches. The special abilities of the characters are segregated into two – active and passive. Pets do not have such segregation.

Each character has six levels, sixth being the most powerful one. Players will need to accumulate character fragments to upgrade their characters. All they have to do is play matches after equipping the said character. Once a certain number of fragments are collected, the character can be upgraded to the next level.

The characters also have skill slots that can be filled with other characters’ abilities. Players will have to own the characters to stack their abilities.
Free Fire gamers have to head over to the in-game store to buy characters or pets. However, they can even get it for free in special events.
