Top 5 Free Fire guns for dealing the highest damage after OB35 update

Guns are the most dominant weapon on Free Fire's battlefield to get eliminations. Hence, any change in a gun's features should be a major concern for mobile gamers as it directly affects the gameplay.

The OB35 update arrived on July 20, bringing numerous changes to the title. Alterations in gun attributes are a major aspect of the patch. While some guns have been completely nerfed or buffed, a few have been balanced through both.

Disclaimer: Free Fire is banned in India. Consequently, players from the country must not use the same title. They can play the MAX variant instead, which does not come with any restrictions.
