Gaming Environment

Credit System

Introducing a scoring system for players’ convenience and visibility with their account statuses.

“We have long believed that Survivors who give a helping hand and keep their attitudes positive should be recognized and honored, and rightfully so, those who flame and quit should be punished. We can proudly announce that our vision is now a reality.”

• Accounts that have been reported and verified to intentionally throw the game, AFK, force quit, or are verbally abusive will have 1-4 points deducted, while frequent abusers will face extra score deduction.
• A perfect score unlocks valuable prizes, while a score lower than 90 suggests a ban from CS-Ranked, that lower than 80 suggests a ban from BR-Ranked.
• Playing games with good behavior will earn 1-2 credit points per game.
• Will be available 3/25 11:00 GMT+8

Report System Improvements

Reporting is made more efficient, and report responses are more trackable

“We strive to keep a healthy gaming environment in Free Fire, and we hope every player can participate in that. We believe that toxicity should not be tolerated anywhere within the game, hence we deliver the following expansions.”

• You can now report another player in your match history page.
• You can now report another player in CS mode scoreboards.
• Added new reasons for reporting.
• Optimized in-game mail report response, now you can track your report progress.

In-Game Voice Chat Reporting Feature

Now you may report inappropriate voice chat calls.

“We realized that when a toxic player decides to flame their teammates in voice chat, there’s not much their teammates can do beyond muting. Voice chat reporting feature is now available. Those who violate community guidelines will face a VC mute punishment, and a credit score reduction.”

• To protect your privacy, the detection will only take place if a report is sent.
• Added a new feature to the current mute button where you can report selected player(s) on the spot.
• Once verbal harassment is verified, the player faces a mute punishment, and a credit score reduction.

Will be available 3/25 11:00 GMT+8

Players can obtain free Characters by playing games in any mode

Character

New Characters

Kenta

Shield of the team, lowers damage taken

“Kenta is your team’s most reliable backup. When activating Swordsman’s Wrath, he puts the gun down and generates a shield before him. Teammates behind his shield will benefit from its partial damage negation. Kenta is a great front-line Character, and will be sure to help your team break through heavy fire. Remember to follow his footsteps!”

Swordsman’s Wrath:

Swordsman’s Wrath forms a frontal shield of 5m width that reduces 50% weapon damage coming from the front. Lasts for 2/3/3.5/4/4.5/5s and resets after firing a shot. Cooldown: 210/200/190/180/170/160s

Reworks

A124

Disables enemy skills and interrupts their interaction countdowns.

“We reworked A124’s skill, giving great power to her ability to interrupt. Any skills and countdowns will be stopped by her powerful skill zone. See those enemies hiding behind gloo walls and healing? Let’s give them a pleasant surprise! ;)”

Thrill of Battle:

Unleashes a 8m electromagnetic wave that disables enemies’ skill activation and interrupts their interaction countdown. Lasts for 20/22/24/26/28/30s. Cooldown: 100/90/80/70/60/50s.

Nikita

Reload speed is no longer affected by gun types. SMG causes more damage when in its last shots.

“Nikita’s performance was really held back by the limitation of gun types, so we made sure to freshen that up. We also increased her damage if using an SMG, making her last 6 shots extra powerful. An outstanding agent makes sure no bullet goes to waste.”

Firearms Expert:

Reload speed increases by 14/16/18/20/22/24%. For SMGs, the final 6 rounds of the clip deals 10/12/14/16/18/20% more damage.

Steffie

Now blocks grenades and restores armor durability.

“Steffie’s skill no longer offered enough support to her teammates. In this patch, we reworked her skill so that in her skill range, damage from explosives is nullified, and armor durabilities are restored. You can finally paint n’ protect with her! “

Painted Refuge:

Create a 4m area that blocks throwables. Allies in the area will restore 10% armor durability every second and ammo damage taken from enemies will reduce by 10/12/14/16/18/20%. Lasts for 10/11/12/13/14/15s. Cooldown: 115/110/105/100/95/90s. Effects do not stack.

Balancing

Caroline

Faster movement speed carrying shotguns.

“Caroline’s Movement Speed bonuses weren’t prevalent enough when affected by equipment. We buffed her in that regard, making her easier to gap close and initiate close-ranged battles.”

Agility:

When holding a shotgun, movement speed increases by 3/4/5/6/7/8% -> 6/7/8/9/11/13%

Otho

Wider vision after kills.

“We felt that Otho’s skill didn’t receive enough strategic emphasis. We extended his vision field, making it easier to perceive potential danger.”

Memory Mist:

After eliminating an enemy, the positions of other enemies within 25/30/35/40/45/50m -> 25/35/45/55/65/75m of the elimination spot will be revealed. Info will be shared with teammates for 4s -> 6s.

Rafael

Faster bleeding speed when knocking down enemies.

“We limited Rafael’s skill to effect enemies shot by Snipers and Marksman Rifles only, but increased its bleeding speed. A true killer always goes under the radar.”

Dead Silent:

When using Snipers and Marksman Rifles, firing sound is silenced and successful shots can cause enemies to bleed 20/23/27/32/38/45% -> 40/50/60/70/80/90% faster.

Thiva

Help-up speed and HP recovery increase.

“Thiva’s skill has been underwhelming for support players. We packed a bit more punch to his rescues, hoping to bring him back into the meta.”

Vital Vibes:

Rescue (help-up) speed increases by 10/13/16/19/22/25% -> 15/18/21/24/27/30%. Upon a successful rescue, the user recovers 15/20/25/30/35/40HP -> 25/30/35/40/45/50HP in 5s.
