Over regular updates, Garena has focused primarily on bringing new features and enhancements to bring Free Fire to its current state. As the OB35 update's release date approaches, the community's excitement has clearly increased, mainly owing to the news of the forthcoming collaboration with Justin Bieber and the fifth-year anniversary celebration.

However, this does not imply that the update lacks features because many players have already experienced them during the Advance Server. Additionally, developers have also released their animated talk show titled, "Kelly Show S03 E04: 5th Anniversary", which outlines some of the update's most significant features.

Note: Free Fire is banned in India, and gamers in the country should avoid playing the game due to government-imposed restrictions. They can opt to play the MAX variant instead.

Earlier, FF Coins in the battle royale mode were primarily utilized to acquire items from the Vending Machine. However, after the Free Fire OB35 update, the developers are adding a new element to the regular battle royale mode with the rework of the BR War Chests.

These War Chests are located in open areas without much cover, and their contents improve as the match progresses. Moreover, players can also reroll the War Chest content using the FF Coins.

This includes new Anti-Gravity Zones, which allow high jumps while eliminating fall damage, giving gamers the option to fire while in the air.

In the meantime, Magic Portals on the map allow gamers to rotate quickly and even outflank their opponents in particular areas.

Gloo Walls are one of the most essential in-game items within Free Fire, providing users with immediate cover. However, placing them can be a challenging task in the midst of battle.

Consequently, to help individuals in such situations, a quick cast button for Gloo Walls will be made available after the OB35 update.
