New System: Achievement

 

Achievement System

Every step you’ve made in Free Fire is worth celebrating.

 

“Hey, on the occasion of Free Fire’s sixth birthday, we want to thank you for being with us all this time. Do you know? You’ve got so many memories and experiences that are worth telling in Free Fire! And we have recorded all of them in the Achievement system. Check it out now and see what kind of great survivor you have become!”
 

  • Entrance: Tap on the menu in the bottom left corner of the lobby and tap on “Achievements” to enter.
  • Categories: To acknowledge your work in all areas, achievements are divided into 3 categories – Battle, Collector, and Career.
  • Stages: Each regular achievement has 3 stages. Satisfying the condition of each stage will unlock the corresponding stage badge and receive corresponding achievement points (and, if applicable, the corresponding reward).
  • Easter Egg: Some achievements will not be displayed in your achievement list until they are obtained. Unlock these surprises as you battle!
  • Achievement Points: By unlocking achievements, you can accumulate achievement points and earn corresponding rewards based on your overall points.
  • Data Validity Time: Achievements in the Collector and Career categories will reflect your account history. However, due to fairness reasons, Battle achievements will start counting from the moment the system goes live. As you look back to the magnificent achievements you have accomplished, strive for the even more lofty legends that lie ahead!

 

Achievement Titles

Tired of celebrating by yourself? Let your achievements shine for all to see!

“Feeling unsatisfied admiring your achievements on your own? Equip titles and share your remarkable accomplishments with your friends!”

  • How to Obtain: Certain achievements provide titles as their stage rewards. 
  • Rarity: Currently, there are 3 grades of titles – rare, epic and mythic. The rarity increases in that order, and they come with different colors and designs.
  • Equip: After obtaining a title, you can select or switch equipped titles from the "Title" section on your profile page. There, you can also view titles yet to be unlocked.
  • Display: After equipping a title, it will be displayed on your profile page. Additionally, it will appear above your character for a period of time after joining a team and can also be selected and displayed from the wheel menu that appears when tapping your character in the lobby.

Once the progress bar is full, players will earn a revival opportunity and can parachute back into the match.

Weapon and Balance


 

 

Weapon Balance Adjustments

Significant changes in close-range combat!

“Our weapon balancing this patch focuses on balancing the effective range of sub-machine guns and shotguns.

Character Balance Adjustments

 

Active Skills:

Passive Skills: 

 

Hayato

“Hayato, a character with one of the most popular skills, provides players with armor penetration that can deliver a lethal blow to enemies in close combat. The initial design intended to give players a chance to counter-eliminate enemies when they have low health. However, Hayato’s armor penetration currently allows players to instantly eliminate enemies even when their health is not low.

Character Special Outfit By Default

Get to know the characters in your character list again!

“Just like how we express ourselves with our unique fashion style and way of doing things in real life, characters in Free Fire also have their own clothing preferences. From now on, you get to understand their personalities and styles better through the exclusive outfits they wear by default!”

Characters, both owned and ones to be obtained in the future, will all come with special outfits as their default attire:

  • When not wearing any other outfits, their appearance will be in the form of their special outfit.
  • The acquired special outfits will still remain in your vault as proof, but wearing or removing them will not make any visual differences in appearance on the characters.
  • Please note that some special outfits may require downloading in order to be displayed in the game properly.
  • Due to the unique design of Caroline's clothes, additional time is required for her to wear her default dress. We will update her appearance in the next patch. We apologize for keeping her in the basic outfit for now.
     

Map

 

Bermuda Adjustments

 

Rim Nam Village Rework

New layout, new appearance. Come and visit Rim Nam Village!

“Safe paths, adequate covers, and an incredibly cute restaurant sign. Are you sure you don't want to come and check out the newly renovated Rim Nam Village? This area will also be added to Clash Squad mode, so come and get familiarized!”

  • We have made some adjustments to the layout of the Rim Nam Village, providing it with more covers and clearer routes.
  • Additionally, Rim Nam Village will be added to Clash Squad (both casual and ranked modes).
     

Clash Squad Map Balancing Adjustments

Nurek Dam

No more sneaky enemies on top of the containers at the opposite end!

“Players who spawn on the west side can easily and quickly reach the top of the slanted container, gaining control over half of the map. To address this situation, we have made adjustments to the area.”

  • A container has been added on top of each of the slanted containers next to the spawn points on both sides to prevent players from jumping onto the slanted containers.

 

Mars Electric

New covers, new allies.

“We’ve noticed that the gaming experience is not balanced on this map. Players spawned on the west side can head northward to reach the rooftops and occupy a highly advantageous firing position. On the other hand, players on the south side don't get enough covers for them to engage and hide. To address these situations, we have made adjustments to the map.”

  • Some container positions have been adjusted to increase the frequency of encounters in their respective areas.
  • The spawn points of both sides have been adjusted, resulting in a more balanced gameplay between the two teams.
  • The tires and a house on the north side have been removed. Players can no longer access the rooftop of the northern house.
  • The tires on the east side have been removed. Players can no longer jump onto the top of the buildings there.

 

Cape Town

Come on, let’s solve this on the ground.

“In Clash Squad, we notice that players on the west side have a way to reach the second floor and roof, gaining the upper hand by occupying a highly advantageous firing position, while the other side does not. To address these situations, we have made adjustments to the area.”

  • The layout and orientations of the houses in the area have been adjusted. Players can no longer jump onto the rooftops of any houses.
  • A building in the map has been replaced, changing from a two-story house to a single-story house.

 

Gameplay


 

Backpack Management and Looting Optimization

Operations have been simplified for a more convenient gaming experience.

“We have received a lot of feedback from players regarding the messy display of backpack items, making it difficult to drop certain items like Med Kits and FF Coins to teammates. Additionally, when going through the enemy's loot box, too much ammo is displayed in front, making it hard to notice the available weapons. Moreover, some advanced weapon attachments cannot be automatically picked up. All these factors increase the players' operational costs and time, which are crucial in intense battles. To address these concerns, we have implemented a series of optimizations to enhance the players' combat experience, making it more seamless and convenient!”

 

Backpack Management:

  • Every time you open your backpack, items of the same type, such as healing supplies, ammo, and throwables, will be automatically grouped together.
  • The original organize button in the top right corner of the backpack interface has been replaced with a stack button, which merges items of the same type, such as healing supplies, ammo, and throwables, together for display.
    • The drop method in the stacking state has been replaced with a new sliding bar on the right, allowing you to smoothly choose the quantity you want to discard.
  • A new "Drop Useless" button has been added to the backpack interface, allowing you to easily discard unnecessary items in your backpack with just one tap.
     

Looting:

  • Items of the same type, such as healing supplies, ammo, and throwables, will be stacked in the looting list, but the quantity of a single pick-up remains as a set.
  • Advanced weapon attachments now support automatic looting of:
    • Silencer
    • SMG Muzzle
    • AR Magazine
    • Marksman Grip
    • Shotgun Stock
    • Sniper Stock
  • When you encounter items that exceed the remaining capacity of your backpack, you can now choose to automatically or manually pick them up based on the available space in your backpack.
     

Loadout Adjustments

More balanced Loadout for a better game experience.

“On top of basic adjustments, certain Loadouts underwent corresponding modifications due to the changes made to the Gloo Walls in the new patch.”
 

Bonfire: 

  • In Clash Squad and Battle Royale, the effect is changed from 10HP/s and 10EP/s to 5HP/s and 20EP/s for a total of 10s, and the given quantity is now 2.
     

CS: 

  • Airdrop Aid: The whole team gets 300 extra CS Cash after the Loadout user loots the airdrop. → The Loadout user gets 300 extra CS Cash after any teammate loots the airdrop.

    • Round 1: Katana
    • Round 2: Inhaler x1

    • Round 5: Upgrade Chip x1
    • Round 6: Bonfire x1
    • Round 7: Super Med x1

  • Supply Crate: When you are revived, get 300 FF Coins, a Bizon, and 60 SMG Ammo.
  • Secret Clue: A chest will be marked on the map. Head there to obtain a Gloo Chip, a Launch Pad, 600 FF Coins, and other items. Once you open the chest, a new one will be marked. 

 

Auto-Aim on Knocked-Down Enemies Adjustments

Smoother firing operation when facing multiple enemies.

“In the previous update, we made adjustments to the auto-aim on knocked down enemies based on player feedback, which helped improve a lot of players’ overall gaming experience. However, we also received feedback from players that they still experienced instances where their auto-aim is pulled towards the knocked down enemies more even when there are standing enemies next to them. In response to this, we have continued to optimize auto-aim to provide players with an even better combat experience.”

  • Easier to aim at a standing enemy when both a standing enemy and a knocked-down enemy are near you.

 

Shallow Water Area Optimization

Shallow water area will no longer be the place you don’t want to go.

“Have you ever experienced being slowed down by shallow water and easily eliminated by an enemy? Or have you experienced a situation where you were instantly eliminated after being knocked down? Don’t worry! We’ve optimized the experience. Have fun playing with water!”

  • Players won’t be slowed down in shallow water areas.
  • Fixed the issue that players will be eliminated instantly after being knocked down. 

 

Danger Zone Elimination Rule Optimization

Danger zone will never steal my elimination.

“How can it be counted as a danger zone elimination when it was clearly mine? Rest assured, Survivors! This issue won't happen again. From now on, any heads you've knocked down will be rightfully credited to you.”

  • If a player is eliminated by the Danger Zone within 8s of taking damage from other players, the elimination will be credited to the last player dealing damage.

 

System
