It's important to note that Garena doesn't recommend downloading the new files via any third-party resources or links. This is because installing them via any unofficial source can compromise your device's security. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you install the Free Fire OB43 update file via an official source.

Nevertheless, here is the step-by-step procedure to install the update via an APK file:

  • Step 1: Click here to download the APK file.
  • Step 2: Install any APK installer from the Google Play Store
  • Step 3: Use the APK installer to install the downloaded APK file
  • Step 4: Grant necessary permissions and wait for the installation to finish. Following these steps will install the update on your device.

Note: APK files are to be downloaded at the reader's discretion.

While Android users can install the file via the Google Play Store, iOS users can do so via the App Store. Below are the Google Play Store link (for Android users) and App Store link (for iOS users) to install the fresh patch:

  • To download the fresh patch from the Google Play store, click here.
  • To download the fresh patch from the App Store, click here.

Given below is the step-by-step procedure to install the fresh file:

  • Step 1: Open the Google Play Store on your Android device.
  • Step 2: Search Free Fire in the search bar and find the title.
  • Step 3: Tap the "Update" or "Install" button if you haven't downloaded the title.
  • Step 4: Wait for the installation to complete.

Following these procedures, you will install the new Free Fire OB43 update file on your device. You can follow the same procedure if you're an iOS user, but visit the App Store instead of the Google Play Store.

Note that although the file size to install Free Fire is 587 MB on Google Play Store, you must have approximately 1 GB of extra space on your device, as there'll be additional in-app installation. Moreover, to install the update's file, you must have at least 400 MB of additional space on your device.
