Garena Free Fire OB49 now rolling out: New maps, features and everything new coming to the game

OB49 update

Garena Free Fire Max OB49 update is now rolling out to the game on both Android and iOS devices. The company has also dropped the complete changelog and according to that, the game will receive several new features such as new map, characters, changes to gameplay and more. Here's everything that's new with the Free Fire OB49 update.

The OB49 update introduces a new map called Solara, which is divided into three distinct zones: a Futuristic Tower Zone designed for intense close-range and sniper combat, a Mountain Area with higher elevation for tactical gameplay, and a Desert Region that suits long-range engagements.

A new character named Kassie will debut in OB49. Her active ability, “Healing Nova,” heals nearby allies within a certain radius while also boosting her movement speed temporarily. A new pet called Pixy will also be introduced. Pixy's skill, “Flash Heal,” restores extra health after a player revives a teammate. Players will also be able to pre-select pet combinations for faster in-game switching.

The update brings two new helmets: the Mecha Helmet, which regenerates 1 HP per second, and the Mushroom Helmet, which provides 2 EP per second. A new consumable item, Cake, will allow players to restore HP instantly. A new airdrop system called "Unlimited Loop Airdrop" will enable continuous supply drops during a match.

A notable change in the OB49 update is a new Gloo Wall setting that automatically switches back to the player's weapon after deployment. A new Photo Mode will also allow players to capture screenshots without UI overlays.

You can update the game via Play Store or App Store and then open it to download the additional data required for the OB49 update.
