Garena will soon be launching the much-anticipated Free Fire OB50 update on July 30, 2025 and is jam-packed with a ton of new content, gameplay, and graphical improvements. From a brand new character to the reintroduction of the Naruto collaboration, the OB50 update will be an excellent event for its players.

Introducing Rin – The Stealth Assassin

The major update features Rin, Hayato's younger sister who focuses on stealth and precision on the battlefield. Her active skill, Kunai Flurry, summons a kunai every 8 seconds that deals increasing damage to Gloo Walls I distance to the back of enemies which is great for flanking opponents. Her passive ability reduces rifle spread after headshots, rewarding players who have accurate marksmen and sharpshooter skills.

Rin is available via Diamond Royale alongside a brand-new pet that boosts EP regeneration while crouching a useful perk during prolonged gunfights.

Characters & Weapons Balancing

OB50 introduces substantial character reworks:

• Nairi: Steel Gel restores faster but with reduced team healing.

• Kairos: Defense Break now consumes more energy.

• Sonia: Nanoshield ability has been nerfed.

• Santino: Teleportation is limited by elevation.

• Laura: Gains improved aiming accuracy.

• Álvaro: Slight damage increases to mini grenades.

On the weapons side, balance updates include:

• M1887: Reduced range for fairer engagements.

• Mini UZI & Heal Pistol: Gain Auto Tracker functionality.

• New Tech Pistol: Launches with a high-capacity magazine.

UI improvements add clarity, including sharper fonts, collapsible menus, and a squad carousel. Level 3 backpacks have been visually upgraded, and scoped weapons now feature a refined center reticle.

Return of Naruto Collab, New CS Peak Mode & Tech Upgrades

The beloved Naruto x Free Fire crossover is returning. There will be a themed lobby, scroll collection missions, as well as legendary skins which we have heard may include Kakashi and Tsunade. Players will be able to acquire a free epic skin and redeem rewards from a point shop through daily missions.  Apart from that a new Clash Squad Peak Mode is being introduced that is limited to ranked matches only at night. It features its own leaderboard, specific banners, and a new reward pool. Lastly, there are also technical optimizations such as 30% faster loading times for Android, and anti-cheat detection will now also discover macro taps in under 90 seconds.

Night Travel Event & Map Changes

The limited-time Night Travel event brings a creepy, fog-filled environment with a laser Hot Drop Zone. Loot special cards to unlock buffs like:

• Reaper: Heal on enemy kill.

• Tracker: Reveal enemies with low HP.

• Phantom: Hinder enemies’ movement and tag their location.

Map changes enhance strategy:

• Bermuda: Rooftop zipline added to Clock Tower.

• Alpine: Denser vegetation for better ambush opportunities.

• Dark Zone: Eerie aesthetics with reduced visibility.

The Free Fire OB50 update will be filled with content, namely the sneaky new character named Rin and the return of the Naruto collaboration, along with major weapon reworks and fresh game modes.
