Free Fire MAX Gather the Light event guide: Get free rewards

Garena leaves no stone unturned in introducing new events in both Free Fire and Free Fire MAX. The reason behind the publishers' drive to push new events is to maintain player engagement by providing exclusive rewards. Hence, one can spot a new series of monthly events, especially those based on festivals.

As of October 2022, Indian users will spot a Diwali-themed 'Light Fest' series exclusively available on their server. The in-game fest is expected to last for almost three weeks, i.e., from October 7-28. Notably, the occasion is anticipated to reach its peak on October 24. Therefore, various events will arrive in Free Fire MAX in the upcoming days.

However, users will not have to wait for the upcoming rewards as the ongoing 'Gather the Light' is already offering tons of free rewards.
