Free Fire OB41 Patch Notes
CLASH SQUAD
Cyber Airdrop
Yep, that’s right, you can now purchase the M1887-X directly from the CS Store! Check out what advantages the new Cyber Airdrop brings along!
“Capturing the special Cyber Airdrop will not only get you better equipment than the regular airdrop but also earn you Cyber Points that can be used to purchase powerful items and the almighty M1887-X! You know you want it!”
Rules:
- Cyber Airdrops will appear in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th rounds of Clash Squad matches.
- The Cyber Airdrop will be transparent at first and become gradually materialised as you capture it. When transparent, it cannot block bullets, but after materialisation, it can act as a barrier.
- The logic of Cyber Airdrop is similar to Defense Airdrop. Players need to capture the Cyber Airdrop for 10-12 seconds (10s for round 3 and 4, 12s for round 5) to unlock it and can obtain weapons, equipment, and Cyber Points. Unlocking the Cyber Airdrop in the 3rd/4th round will earn your team 1 Cyber Point, and unlocking it in the 5th round will earn your team 2 Cyber Points.
- If there are enemies in the capturing area, you will need to knockdown the enemies to gain ownership over the airdrop. The airdrop will ultimately belong to the team of the player who is still standing in the capturing area.
- In the CS Store, there will be a Cyber Item section. For every Cyber Point the team earns, corresponding items in the section will be unlocked. When a team earns 3 Cyber Points, they will unlock the purchase rights for the M1887-X.
Information Optimization on the CS Store Interface
Teammates’ weapon details are now visible on the store interface! Make sure to use such information in your combat strategy!
“New optimization in the preparation stage! Know your teammates’ weapon details, help each other out, and fight better as a team! ”
- During the preparation stage, the top left corner of the CS Store will show your teammates’ weapon details.
- New currency notification: You can now notify teammates of your CS Cash amount to assist or ask for help with purchases. Simply tap on the CS Cash amount in the CS Store or use the marking feature to mark the CS Cash amount in the upper right corner of the screen.

Primarily designed for the Android, iOS, and iPadOS platforms,this gaming sensation was introduced to the world on 8 December 2017. Swiftly rising through the ranks, Free Fire claimed its status as a global phenomenon, amassing staggering download figures that crowned it as the most sought-after mobile game in 2019. This astounding ascent continued, and as of the year 2023, Free Fire had proudly crossed the monumental threshold of 187 million daily active users.
A significant milestone arrived on 28 September 2021, when the gaming community welcomed the global launch of Free Fire Max. This visually refined iteration of the game aimed to elevate the gaming experience by enhancing its graphical prowess while maintaining the essence of the original. In its evolution, Free Fire underwent a visual transformation, introducing a revamped logo in the year 2022, signalling a fresh chapter in its captivating journey.
The game’s heartbeat thrives on the Unity engine, providing the technological backbone that fuels its immersive gameplay. Plunging into the gaming landscape, Free Fire seamlessly blends elements of battle royale, uniting players in exhilarating multiplayer matches that unfold in its uniquely compelling virtual world.
Free Fire Gameplay
Free Fire, an immersive battle royale experience developed and published by Garena, invites players to command a character from a third-person perspective, employing a joystick for movement and a fire button for shooting and item usage. The character showcases a range of actions, including jumping, crawling, and lying down, while the strategic deployment of the “Gloo Wall” grenade serves as cover against incoming damage.
The game boasts a diverse selection of more than 15 game modes, encompassing Team Deathmatch, Clash Squad, Big Head, Explosive Jump, Cold Steel, Rampage, and Pet Mania. Special events grant access to additional modes beyond the core Battle Royale, Clash Squad, and Lone Wolf options.
In the flagship Battle Royale mode, up to 52 players parachute onto an island devoid of weapons, competing fiercely to outlast their peers. They scavenge for arms and gear within buildings, aiming to secure the coveted position of the last survivor. Ranked play in this mode impacts player rankings. Gamers have a choice of six maps, including Bermuda, Bermuda Remastered, Kalahari, Purgatory, Alpine, and NeXTerra, while play options encompass solo, duo, or squad configurations.
Clash Squad, a 4-vs-4 encounter, challenges participants to purchase weaponry and equipment during the preparation phase before clashing with the opposing team. The mode unfolds in a best-of-7 format, spanning 4 to 7 rounds. Each round culminates when one team eliminates all members of the other side, either through combat or environmental factors. The maps for Clash Squad mirror those of Battle Royale mode, with choices to engage in either Ranked or Casual play.
Lone Wolf refines the Clash Squad concept into a 1-vs-1 or 2-vs-2 format, where each side designs their equipment for two upcoming rounds. The gameplay evolves in a best-of-5 structure, culminating in a decisive round where weapon choice is unrestricted. All participants begin with basic gear, including vests and helmets. Set on its distinct map, Iron Dome, this mode introduces intricate rules that heighten the tactical gameplay.
Expanding the creative dimension, the Free Fire Craftland Editor empowers players to conceive custom maps using an in-game builder tool. Crafted maps can be shared and experienced with others, complemented by script editing for advanced customization. This feature allows players to incorporate buildings, gameplay elements, and embellishments until the map’s spatial capacity is reached, fostering creativity and collaboration.
Distinguishing the character system, Free Fire showcases over 50 characters, each equipped with a unique skill that can be either active or passive. Active skills are manually triggered, while passive abilities engage automatically. Every character can wield four skills, comprising their inherent skill and three borrowed from other characters. These characters are not only a source of diverse skills but also possess rich backstories, with some inspired by real-life celebrities through collaborations, such as Chrono, Dimitri & Thiva, A-Patroa, Alok, and JBeibs.Obtaining characters is feasible through in-game currency (gold) or Diamonds, which can be acquired via real-world transactions.
The game’s pet system adds an intriguing layer, as 21 distinct pets stand ready to bolster players in battle. Each pet flaunts a unique ability, either passive or active, providing tactical advantages. Notably, one pet, Poring, hails from a collaboration with Ragnarok Online, further enriching the game’s tapestry. Players can personalise their pets with skins and emotes, contributing to both aesthetics and strategic prowess.
