What’s New in Free Fire MAX OB50 (as of July 30, 2025)?
Garena dropped the OB50 update globally on July 30, 2025 at ~9:30 AM IST, introducing major gameplay upgrades, new characters, and the second chapter of the Naruto collab. For Indian servers, the update began rolling out at that precise time.
Here’s a structured breakdown of the key additions and enhancements:
1. Naruto Shippūden Collab – Chapter 2: Ninja War
Epic Ninja Trials: Face legendary foes like Itachi, Orochimaru, Pain, Madara, and Obito. Failed attempts trigger Minato’s encouragement—and eventual reward escalation.
Tsukuyomi Loot Zones: Blue zones that turn fiery red during the event, offering top-tier gear. At end, exclusive airdrops land at the center.
Akatsuki Keepsakes: Pick one to unlock powerful skills—but beware, you’ll be visible on enemy minimaps. Choose factions—Akatsuki or Hidden Leaf—for themed elimination effects and rivalry gameplay.
2. New Character: Rin Yagami
Rin takes the stage with stealth‑focused abilities:
Skill: Gale of Kunai – Kunais orbit around her and launch toward targets or Gloo Walls, dealing high damage and breaking gloo walls with three hits.
Passive Effect – Rifle spread reduced after headshots, rewarding sharpshooters. Ideal for aggressive, high‑skill plays.
Rin joins the existing roster and is likely obtainable via Diamond Royale, alongside a new pet offering EP‑regen perks when crouched.
