Garena Free Fire Max is set to release its highly anticipated Free Fire latest update, the OB48 update, on February 26, 2025. This latest update brings an exciting new Free Fire character, upgraded weapons, enhanced event workshops, and several gameplay improvements. Here’s everything you need to know about the Free Fire OB48 patch notes.
New Character and Character Skill Reworks
The Free Fire OB48 update introduces Oscar, the Night Vigilante, as the newest Free Fire new character 2025. Oscar’s ability is inspired by past events related to Naruto, where players used Naruto-themed powers in the game. His skill allows players to dash a short distance at high speed, inflicting damage on enemies upon impact. Additionally, if he dashes into a Gloo Wall, it will explode after a short delay, dealing AOE damage to nearby opponents.
Apart from Oscar, several existing characters have undergone skill reworks. Ignis, a popular Free Fire character, now has an improved ability that lets players summon a moving wall of flames, burning enemies on contact.
Furthermore, the update has adjusted the abilities of several characters:
- Buffed Characters: Lila, Koda, and Nikita.
- Nerfed Characters: Shani, Wolfrahh, Luqueta, Antonio, and Xayne.
New Weapons in Free Fire OB48 Update
The Free Fire latest update introduces three powerful weapons:
- Infinite: Provides unlimited ammo.
- Infrared: Offers a thermal effect when scoped in, improving enemy visibility.

These Free Fire OB48 patch notes confirm that these new weapons can be obtained in Battle Royale Mode through Hypercrates and Hypercrate Drops.
