Clash Squad mode in Free Fire

Clash Squad is a round-based 4v4 game mode in which the players get divided into two sides - Warbringers and Howlers. There are seven rounds, and the team that emerges victorious in four of them gets the Booyah.

It also has a ranked system, and players can climb up the tiers to earn various rewards. In the current season, they can receive the ‘Golden – P90’ for reaching Gold 3. Also, the mode features two maps – Bermuda and Kalahari (smaller parts of the map).

Unlike the BR mode, the users do not have to collect loot in Clash Squad. Before the commencement of a round, players have a buy phase, where they can purchase guns, armor, utilities, and more.

This phase is quite important and requires them to plan their purchases in coordination with teammates.
