Free Fire OB29 update maintenance schedule revealed: When will the game be available to play?

It’s no secret that Free Fire is one of the most popular multiplayer battle royale games around. The game has grown in popularity after Pubg Mobile India was removed, but the makers have just launched a fresh upgrade. It’s called the Free Fire OB30 update, and it will be delivered on September 28, 2021, following server maintenance. In addition to the Free Fire OB30 upgrade, the game’s developers are adding new features and making other changes.

As far as Free Fire players are concerned, the OB30 upgrade is the most significant one yet. Everything from characters to weaponry is included. Free Fire Max will also be available to download starting today in addition to the latest upgrade. Updated graphics, in-game controls, and other new features will be included in Free Fire Max.

After the Free Fire OB29 Advance Server was closed last month, players were left waiting on the patch’s availability. Fortunately, there is some light at the end of the tunnel as Garena confirmed the next update’s release date.

The much-anticipated Free Fire OB29 is slated to release on August 4th, 2021, as everyone expected. With this, a wide range of features and upgrades to existing ones will be made to optimize the overall gameplay experience. Even more, the details of the fourth-anniversary celebrations are likely to be revealed after the patch.

As usual, due to the planned maintenance break, servers will be offline for a few hours. The schedule for it has been revealed.

Free Fire OB30 update downtime

Garena, the creator of Free Fire has confirmed that there is going to be a server maintenance time before the Free Fire OB30 update is launched. The new update will be available for all players once the maintenance time is over. The Free Fire OB30 update downtime in India will begin from 09:30 AM IST and last up to 06:30 PM IST today, i.e. September 28, 2021. The developer announced the downtime from its official Instagram handle. Additionally, the game will not be available to play during the downtime.

Free Fire OB29 update

Garena usually takes down servers for a few hours for maintenance before releasing a new Free Fire update. During the downtime, players will not be able to access the game and receive an error message as always.

Going by previously released patches, the downtime for the Free Fire update can happen around 9:30 am IST and continue until 6:00 pm IST on the slated date. Such updates usually start rolling out a few hours into the downtime, which suggests that the Free Fire OB29 can be released around 10:00–12:00 pm IST.

Garena Free Fire OB29 update is expected to be released on August 4, 2022, at 12:00 PM SGT (9:30 AM IST). Free Fire players will be able to update the approximately 700 MB update for the game from Google Play Store and Apple App Store when the patch goes live. The

patch usually takes six hours to implement so players will not be able to play Free Fire before OB29 goes live. There are three mystery characters being added in this patch along with a new pet and the AC80 Marksman Rifle.

After introducing a D-BEE, a street dancer and musician character in the last patch, the new patch will bring in three mystery characters. One of them is apparently called Thiva, based on new assets on the Advance Server and leaks. This comes with an Active skill called ‘Healing Heartbeat’. It lets him create a 5-meter healing zone inside which teammates can recover HP per second.

After Elite Kelly, Elite Hayato, and Elite Andrew, Free Fire is getting an Elite version of Moco as one of the three mystery characters. The third character’s name isn’t known yet. This character comes with a passive skill called ‘Vital Vibes’ which reduces the time you take to revive someone by a certain percentage.

The OB29 update also adds the Ninja Tiger which grants you a buff to deal additional damage to moving enemies.

There will also be a new marksman rifle called AC80. This rifle can fire two simultaneous shots, dealing additional damage to the opponents, and is meant for mid-long-range combat.

Free Fire OB29 update release date

In the past, Garena mostly released new Free Fire patches a day before the existing Clash Squad ranked season ended. If Garena follows the same strategy, we can expect the game developer to release the Free Fire OB28 update on August 4. Notably, the Clash Squad Ranked Season 7 ends on August 5. Some additional reports suggest that the new patch can also release on August 5 since the Gold Royale event will end on the said date.

Garena usually takes down servers for a few hours for maintenance before releasing a new Free Fire update. During the downtime, players will not be able to access the game and receive an error message as always.

Free Fire OB29 Advance Server: New features

Free Fire OB29 Advance Server went live last month. The Advance Server revealed that the upcoming Free Fire update will bring along a host of nee features including new characters, a new pet, a weapon, a unique game mode, and other improvements. For more details, we must wait for the update to be officially released.

Free Fire OB29 Advance Server was released last month, which revealed new features and some improvements. However, it should be noted that it is not necessary for the final version to include all features highlighted by Free Fire OB29 Advanced Server. Now that the Free Fire OB29 Advance Server is out, players are eagerly waiting for the final stable release to happen soon.
