Garena Free Fire’s OB49 update introduced several exciting features, and one of the most talked-about among them is the new QR Code system. This addition has sparked curiosity and confusion among players some believe that by scanning a QR code, they can receive free rewards like gun skins, diamonds, or exclusive outfits.
But how much of this is actually true? In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into how the Free Fire QR code feature really works, what it can (and cannot) do, and clear up the rumors floating around online.
What Is the Free Fire QR Code Feature?
With the OB49 update, Free Fire introduced a QR Code feature that allows players to generate a unique QR code linked to their profile. When someone scans this code, they can instantly view the player’s:
- In-game profile
- UID (User ID)
- Achievements
- Rare items or rewards displayed on their profile
This feature is designed to make profile sharing easier. Instead of typing a player’s UID manually, one can now simply scan the QR code to access their profile directly. It’s fast, user-friendly, and great for inviting friends or showing off in-game accomplishments.
You can also generate QR codes for screenshots of your rewards or achievements, which lets others view them in-game quickly.
Can You Really Get Free Diamonds or Skins by Scanning a QR Code?
No, this is a complete myth.
There is currently no official system in Free Fire that gives you gun skins, diamonds, outfits, or any other in-game items just by scanning a QR code.
Despite what many YouTube videos and websites claim, scanning a QR code won’t get you:
- Free MP40 gun skins
- Unlimited diamonds
- Free bundles or legendary costumes
These claims are completely false and often part of online scams or malware traps. Some fake QR codes can even lead to unsafe websites or download unwanted apps that could harm your device or compromise your Free Fire account.
Why Are So Many Fake QR Codes Being Shared Online?
Scammers take advantage of players who are looking for quick ways to get rare items. They create fake QR codes with promises of free rewards and spread them across:
- YouTube videos with misleading thumbnails
- Websites offering “hacks” or “cheats”
- Telegram or WhatsApp groups
But in reality, these QR codes either do nothing or worse, infect your device with malware. Some might also lead you to phishing pages asking for your Free Fire login credentials, which can result in account theft or permanent bans.
Is There Any Safe Way to Use QR Codes in Free Fire?
Yes, but only for official in-game purposes, such as:
- Sharing your profile
- Inviting friends
- Viewing other players’ achievements or UID
Always make sure the QR code you’re scanning comes from a trusted source, such as directly from a friend within the game. Never scan a code from unknown websites or random videos claiming to give free rewards.

Final Words
The Free Fire QR code feature is a useful tool for quickly accessing player profiles and sharing achievements, but it does not offer any kind of in-game rewards like diamonds or skins through scanning. Any claim suggesting otherwise is completely false and possibly dangerous.
Stay safe, avoid suspicious QR codes, and enjoy Free Fire the way it’s meant to be played fair and secure.
