Release Date of OB46 Update in Free Fire
The Free Fire OB46 update is set to come out on September 4, 2024, and will be ready for both Free Fire and Free Fire MAX. You can update your game starting from 9:30 AM IST to enjoy all the new features and changes.
New Character: Lila
One exciting addition in the OB46 update of Free Fire is a new character named Lila. She is called a "gloo wall artist" and loves finding hidden spots in the city. She also has some special tactical skills to make the game even more interesting.
Special Ability - Gloo Strike
Lila's special skill is called "Gloo Strike." It lets her use rifles to slow down enemies or vehicles. If she hits an enemy, it reduces their speed by 10%, and if she hits a vehicle, it slows it down by 50% for 3 seconds. If an enemy gets knocked down while slowed, they can be frozen for up to 35 seconds. Lila also gets an extra Gloo Wall and goes into a 10-second cooldown. This makes her a great choice for players who like to plan their moves and control crowds in battles.
New Gameplay Features: Gloo Nova and Gloo Gadgets
The OB46 update brings a new mode called Gloo Nova, available in both Battle Royale (BR) and Clash Squad (CS) modes. This mode has some new tools and features that players can use:
- Gloo Gadgets: You can pick from four different Gloo Wall gadgets to use in matches, each doing something special.
- Lavish Gadget: Gives random rewards like EP, money, or items when you put up a Gloo Wall.
- Wrecking Gadget: Boosts damage to Gloo Walls by 50%, making them explode and hurt nearby enemies.
- Scanner Gadget: Scans for enemies nearby and marks them for a short time.
- Defender Gadget: Makes Gloo Walls stronger and puts up a protective wall automatically if you get knocked down.
- Gloo Arsenals and Gloo Airdrops: During this event, all arsenals will be covered with Gloo, and you need to break the Gloo to get the loot inside. Airdrops will also be covered with Gloo, so you have to smash it to grab the items.
New Clash Squad Season and Adjustments
The update also brings a new Clash Squad Ranked Season 26 with some changes to make the game more fun:
- New MVP Effects and better enemy outlines to make things clearer.
- More limits on getting to high places and new route guidance features to make the game fairer and more tactical.
- Players can now earn cash for the first knockdown, making each round more competitive.

- Nerfs to weapons like Woodpecker, Trogon, and XM8.
- Pet Purchases with Gold: Now, players can buy pets using Gold, which is a free in-game currency.
