Free Fire OB51: Fire Arena Update Brings New Weapons, Characters, and Modes!

Get ready for the next big update in Free Fire! Starting Wednesday, October 29, the game will roll out the highly anticipated “Fire Arena” update, packed with exciting additions: a new thematic mode, legendary weapons, revamped loadouts, a brand-new character, balance adjustments, and numerous improvements to gameplay, maps, and systems.

🔥 Fire Arena Mode

“Show your best in the Fire Arena!”

In the new Fire Arena mode, players will represent their teams in intense survival matches. As banners flutter in the sky and narration accompanies every moment, the battlefield shrinks until only the Final Safe Zone remains, where the Flame Trophy emerges as the ultimate symbol of victory.

Battle Royale

• Each player will randomly receive a banner representing their team.
• When all players of a banner are eliminated, that banner burns and disappears.
• An in-game narrator will announce key moments, such as kill streaks, the appearance of the Flame Zone, and the final trophy.
• As the battle progresses, the fire spreads, and the Flame Trophy appears in the sky, surrounded by the surviving banners.
• The winning team earns the Flame Booyah, a special victory animation.

Clash Squad

• Each team gets a unique banner.
• When a team reaches “match point,” the Flame Zone replaces the area outside the zone, and the Flame Trophy appears at the center of the map.
• CS Store, spawn areas, and airdrops get an exclusive Fire Arena visual theme.
• The winning team also receives the special Flame Booyah.

🔫 Flame Weapons (Flamer Series)

During the event, thematic weapons with explosive firepower will appear! These weapons fire incendiary grenades that deal massive area damage.

• Trogon-Flamer: launches a grenade every 3 shots (recharge 5s).
• FAMAS-III-Flamer: launches a grenade every 3 shots (recharge 5s).
