The wait is finally over. Free Fire has officially dropped the OB52 update, and it is arguably one of the most ambitious patches we have seen in years. This update isn’t just a collection of small tweaks; it is a total transformation of the battlefield. From a massive collaboration with the iconic anime Jujutsu Kaisen to a complete overhaul of the Battle Royale revival mechanics and the introduction of a stealthy new character, there is a lot to unpack. Check out everything new coming to the game with the addition of the OB52 update below!

Free Fire X Jujutsu Kaisen Collaboration

The headline of this update is undoubtedly the Jujutsu Awakening event. Cursed Energy is now surging across the maps, and players can collect it from piles scattered throughout the world or by eliminating foes. This energy isn’t just for show. It is a currency used to unlock legendary cursed techniques that bring the anime’s high-stakes combat to Free Fire.

You can now wield Yuji Itadori’s Divergent Fist for a powerful dash attack or unleash Satoru Gojo’s devastating Hollow Purple, which travels 80 meters while ignoring buildings and cover. If you really want to dominate, the update introduces Domain Expansions. Gojo’s Unlimited Void pulls a single enemy into a private 1v1 duel where the user gets boosted stats, while Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine creates a crimson zone of death that deals constant damage to anyone inside.

To top it off, the iconic Peak on Bermuda has been completely reconstructed into Bermuda High School, offering a fresh urban campus for close-quarters skirmishes.

Battle Royale: Breakable Arsenals and Ultra Airdrops

The Battle Royale mode is receiving some high-risk, high-reward mechanics that will spice up the mid and late-game. The most notable change is the Breakable Arsenal. You no longer strictly need a key to get inside. Players can now smash the reinforced glass or use explosives to force their way in. However, doing so triggers a UAV that broadcasts your exact location to every enemy in the area. It turns the quest for high-tier loot into a dangerous game of cat and mouse.

In the late game, keep your eyes peeled for the Ultra Airdrop. Dropping 400 seconds into the match, this capture-based device grants the best buffs in the game, including the Ultra Helmet and Vest which provide protection stronger than Level 4 armor. Capturing it also revives eliminated teammates instantly, making it the ultimate tool for a comeback victory.

Revival System Changes in Free Fire OB52

One of the most player-friendly changes in OB52 is the rework of the Revival System. We have all been in that frustrating situation where we get eliminated early and have to watch our squad for twenty minutes. Now, every team gets a one-time “early revive” within the first 180 seconds of the match. If at least one teammate is alive, you can get back into the fight without needing a revival point.

For solo players, the stakes have also been adjusted. You now receive time-based starter gear automatically throughout the match, ensuring you aren’t running around with a pistol in the late game. Additionally, capturing a Revival Point in solo mode grants a Revival Card, which acts as an extra life that triggers automatically if you are eliminated.

Neon City and Fast Travel

The Neon City inauguration marks a new era of exploration for Free Fire enjoyers. This mysterious, nighttime metropolis is hidden within rifts. Every map now features four Rift Portals that teleport you into this urban neon landscape. Inside Neon City, you have a 30-second window to use other portals to fast-travel to different parts of the main map. It is a fantastic strategic tool for escaping the zone or flanking a squad that thinks they have you cornered. Just remember: you cannot engage in combat inside Neon City, so use that time wisely to plan your next move.

New Character – Morse

Meet Morse, the newest addition to the character roster. Morse is a specialist in stealth and information denial. His active skill, Stealth Bytes, allows him to enter a mode where he is nearly invisible to enemies more than 16 meters away. While in this mode, he cannot be scanned or detected, and he gains a 20% speed boost. While he cannot fire while stealthed, the utility is insane. You can use Morse to drive vehicles, revive teammates, or use Vending Machines completely unnoticed.

Weapon Balance Changes in Free Fire OB52

Garena has introduced a more refined Weapon Tier system to help players understand the power of their loot at a glance. Instead of just three colors, we now have five: White, Light Gold, Gold, Light Red, and Red. This makes it much easier to distinguish between a regular ground loot weapon and a high-tier advanced airdrop version.

In terms of balance, the Groza and SVD have received significant buffs to ensure they remain the kings of the airdrop loot. On the flip side, explosive weapons like the FGL24 and RGS50 have seen their magazine capacities reduced to prevent the explosive meta from becoming too chaotic. The VSS also got a much-needed accuracy and armor penetration boost, making it a viable mid-range threat again.

Quality of Life Improvements: Camera Systems and Relay Mart

The update also brings some fantastic system improvements. The new Camera System is a creator’s dream, featuring “Character Lock” and “Camera Lock” modes that allow for cinematic angles and FOV adjustments. There is even a new Highlight Photo feature that automatically captures screenshots of your ACEs, headshots, and elimination streaks so you can show them off in your profile album later.

For those who love to shop together, the Relay Mart introduces a ‘buy more, save more’ system. When you make purchases, you unlock progressive discounts and generate codes you can share with friends. If your friends use your code, you even earn Diamond Rebates. It is a win-win social feature that makes spending diamonds a bit more rewarding for the whole squad.

Players can enjoy playing Free Fire on a bigger screen of their PC or Laptop via BlueStacks along with your keyboard and mouse.
