The Clash Squad spawn point is adjusted in the Bermuda map. It was difficult for the teams to engage because of spawning in the lower area of The Clock Tower zone.

The last patch update introduced a new pet Sensei Tig. This time the updates are bringing character skill adjustment.
Chrono
Chrono’s Time Turner was too overpowered till now compared to other active skills. The adjustments include some cooldown and reduction in shield duration time.

Character Skill (Camouflage) Adjustments
- Movement speed reduced by 20% when activated.
Andrew “The Fierce”
Andrew’s “Wolfpack” is too strong when the whole squad is equipping this skill. So, the updates will incorporate the damage reduction a bit. Thus, weapons can still be effective against fully armored Awakened Andrew.

Free Fire OB30 BOOYAH Day update: Weapon and Balance changes
Garena has always tried to make their battle royale game more and more balanced by adjusting the weapons stats and adding new and better weapons. The changes/addition are:
Armor Attachments
Armor Attachments
In battle-royale mode, players were a bit uncomfortable as the gear progression is not very balanced since high-level armor can be purchased from the vending machine. Two new armor attachments are added to make sure players can further upgrade their armor when they spend their time looting. Garena has promised to bring more types of attachments in the next set of patch notes. By equipping on the vest, the new attachments will work as follows.
| ATTACHMENT | USE |
|---|---|
| Vest Thickener | Reduces damage from explosions |
| Vest HP Booster | Increases HP |
Treatment Sniper
Treatment Sniper
Players can use this Sniper gun to heal their teammates. It can be used in damaging enemies as well. The base damage is set at 70, rate of fire is 0.45 (slightly faster than Dragonav).
| Base Damage | 70 |
| Heal Strength | 50 |
| Rate of Fire | 0.45 |
Adjusted weapons
SPAS-12
This shotgun has been comparatively weaker than other shotguns. The range is increased by 10% in this update to make sure it can be more competitive with its peers.
| Range | +10% |
FF-Knife
This knife has been made a bit more deadly in this new update. Initial damage is increased by +50%, and rate of fire by +20%.
| Base Damage | +50% |
| Rate of Fire | +20% |
Grenade
The grenade is too cost-effective, especially against fully-armed targets. This update reduces power from the Grenade to make sure players can only take out full health enemies with an extremely precise toss.
| Maximum damage | -25% |
P90
This SMG does not have enough versatility like others, especially in mid-range combats. So, the range has been increased to make it more reliable in mid-range battles.
| Range | +10% |
AWM
This sniper got more power in this update so can remain effective against enemies with higher-level armor equipped. The armor penetration increased by +8%.
| Armor Penetration | +8% |
SKS
The SKS is not so reliable right now because it is not so effective against armored enemies. A bit more damage has been added to make it more lethal when taking enemies down from afar.
| Minimum damage while scoped-in | +25% |
Vector
The Vector is currently too deadly in close range. The adjustments are made to this weapon to give players enough time to react against enemies with the Vector Akimbo.
| Reload time | -20% |
| Rate of fire | -5% |
| Ammo | -5 |
| Rate of fire in Akimbo | -20% |
| Movement speed in Akimbo | -4% |
