Free Fire OB27 features

#1 - Change in character UI and leveling system

The character UI will be entirely overhauled in the upcoming patch. It will be made more accessible for the users, enabling them to have an overview of the characters and change them easily. In addition to this, players can switch between skill sets or abilities from the loadout section via the lobby.

One fundamental change that will be implemented in the OB27 update is the remake of the character level up system as it would become free, and players would only require memory fragments to do the same.

A new weapon called "Kord" would also be making its way in the battle royale title with the upcoming Free Fire OB27 update. The firearm was previously available in the Advance Server, which concluded a few days ago.

The unique aspect of the gun is that users gain extra power and firing when used in prone or crouch positions. However, the exact stats are yet to be revealed.

The normal and awakened characters' ability will be merged into one and will only occupy a single slot, which will further increase the characters' effectiveness.

Apart from this, specific abilities will be altered to provide the players with a balanced experience. Two of the revealed changes include Wukong and Rafael. The cooldown of the former character will reset with each kill. Meanwhile, the ability of Rafael has received a significant improvement.
