Free Fire OB36 ‘Booyah Day’ Update Patch Notes: New weapons, Character changes, and more

Free Fire has been correcting a lot of issues and adding new characters, game types, and firearms to keep the battle royale interesting and balanced. To make the game more balanced and enjoyable, Garena has added new characters and tweaked a few weapons. The detailed patch notes for the Free Fire OB36 Update or the Booyah Date Update are available below.

Free Fire OB36 Update New Character: Tatsuya

Shirou‘s younger brother, Tatsuya, is just 16 years old. Soon after his father passed away, his mother became unwell, leaving the two of them orphans. The two brothers were however not very close. Tatsuya has always been a quiet, submissive child.

Like everything else, that also changed as a result of the family scandals. The youngster was becoming more and more alone, which made him withdrawn and irritated and encouraged the violent coexistence of neighborhood gangs. Tatsuya didn’t even show up for the funeral after their mother passed away.

A few months later, the brotherly connection between Shiro and Tatsuya crumbled and became bitter. That’s because Shiro went to pick up Tatsuya to take him home from the hospital after he nearly got expelled from school due to a brawl. The brothers got into a heated debate on both sides.

As per Tatsuya’s ability, she dashes forward at a rapid speed for 0.2/0.2/0.2/0.3/0.3/0.3 seconds. Sprint reload time: 175/160/150/140/130/120 seconds. It can be stacked for 2 consecutive uses, with a 5-second cooldown between uses.

Free Fire OB36 Update: Character Balance Changes and Updates

Dimitri

When knocked down, users and allies can self-heal to get back up. Duration 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 seconds. Waiting time 85,80,75,70,65,60 seconds.

New Throwable: Icebreaker Grenade

Gel Walls can be major obstacles on your path to victory. In this update, Garena is introducing the Icebreaker! Use it to destroy your opponents’ walls. After exploding, the grenade will create a circular field from the target, inflicting 150 damage to the Gel Walls within that field for 12 seconds. While the grenade is active, Walls of Gel within the corrosive area take double damage when attacked by weapons.

New Accessories

If you always get the feeling that you run out of ammo very quickly, it’s probably because you don’t have a cartridge in your gun. Attachments are essential for upgrading your weapons, so don’t spend all your credit on Ultimate Chips. In this update, there will be specific attachments for different weapons.
