The official in-game description of the pet reads:

“Did someone call a Doctor?”

This change is one of the best features of the Free Fire OB28 update.

Before the update, reviving teammates using revival points was a little too easy. Hence, the following adjustments have been made to ensure that the process of revival becomes more challenging:

  • Time to capture the revival point: 14s->33s
  • Revival Point cooldown: 150s->180s.
  • Revival Points per game: 9->8
