A while ago we commented that due to technical problems, the OB23 update it would not reach the advanced server. Well, Garena has set to work getting it there before the official launch, so registered players can try out the new things they will add to the game.
What the Free Fire OB23 update brings
Let's remember that for this update we will have a new male character in the game who will be called Lucas, who is inspired by a Brazilian soccer player whose ability will allow him to increase his VPs every time he kills.
We will have new pet Penguin who is not sure what he will do, but it is very likely that it will help players to know the location of the grenades that the Gloo walls bring.
And the assault rifle will also be added AUG, which we know has an integrated x2 sight, but, above all, we can finally see the change that the map locations will have Bermuda.
Hayato's awakening in OB23
In addition to all of the above, it seems that Garena will have even more surprises for us. Recently it just leaked that Hayato will have his Awakening, just like Kelly had.
The "Awakening" of a character gives him a new ability, different from the one he already had. To unlock the characters awake, you have to fulfill certain missions in the game.
Regarding Hayato, as we know, he was with Kelly part of the Shimada family, and both are one of the most popular characters in Free Fire, so it makes a lot of sense that Hayato is the next character with an awakening.
In addition to that new, more epic look, he will have an ability that creates a barrier in front of him that reduces damage. The barrier will disappear once Hayato starts shooting.
That reminds the Shield Gun that was introduced to the game a few months ago.
Date of the OB23 update in Free Fire
Having said all this, only one question remains: When will the Free Fire OB23 update be released?
Free Fire OB23 update will be officially released on August 3, 2020 . The developers have indicated the release date in the recent 'Harvest Day' event introduced to the game.
In general, developers don't bother any major game events by introducing updates, as they have to shutdown the server for almost a day.
