Hello Survivors! If you’re a Free Fire fan, there’s big news for you. The OB50 update is coming to the game on July 30, and this update brings a lot of character adjustments, weapon balancing, and exciting new features. In this article, we’ll cover all the details about which characters are nerfed or buffed, which weapons have been adjusted, and how these changes will affect your gameplay.
Character Adjustments in OB50 Update
In the OB50 update, only a few characters are getting changes because most adjustments to active characters were made before this update. Let’s check out which characters have been adjusted.
1. Kairos Character
Kairos is a powerful character that can damage enemy vests. In OB50, its power is being reduced.
- Kairos has two modes:
- Defense Mode: Restores 2 EP per second until your EP is full.
- Breaker Mode: Deals 120% extra damage to enemy armor and shield.
- What’s changing?
- Before: Loses 10 EP per second (takes 20 seconds to lose 200 EP).
- After Update: Loses 20 EP per second (takes just 10 seconds to lose 200 EP).
- Pro Tip: After the update, if you use Kairos, finish fights quickly or pair it with Miguel, as Miguel gives 200 EP on each knockdown.
2. Sonia Character
Sonia is getting a massive nerf in OB50.
- Before: When Sonia’s skill activates, you get 50 HP shield points for 2 seconds.
- Now: Only 1 HP shield will be provided.
This makes Sonia almost useless in direct fights. The only good use left is pairing it with Dimitri’s healing skill.
3. Laura Character
Laura receives a buff this time.
- Before: When scoped in, accuracy increases by 50%.
- Now: Accuracy will increase by 60%.
This makes Laura a great choice for sniping and long-range combat.
4. Nairi Character
Nairi’s ability duration is being reduced by 50%.
- Before: On placing a Gloo Wall, you get 10 HP per second and wall durability restores for 2 seconds.
- After: Durability restores for just 1 second and only 10 HP will be given.
So, Nairi is now less effective for Gloo Wall tactics.
New Character – Rin A new character called Rin is coming in OB50. We’ve already shared a detailed article about it on our website, so don’t forget to check it out.
