The latest Free Fire patch touched character balance and ranked scoring. Here is what matters.
Buffed characters
Two defensive abilities gained extra duration. In practice, support compositions became more viable in 4v4, where surviving the first seconds decides the round.
Weapon tuning
Recoil on two SMGs was reduced, and long-range damage on one marksman rifle dropped slightly. Close-range meta stays strong, with less dominance from a single weapon.
Ranked
Scoring now counts assists and safe-zone positioning, not just kills. Support players should climb faster than before.
When it lands
The patch is live on Brazilian servers. Meta shifts usually show up three to five days later as players adjust builds.
