OB33 update for Garena Free Fire Max has been released and adds many significant new features to the game. The brand-new Character Link System has been implemented along with a new credit system and an improved reporting system to combat toxicity. In addition to introducing a new character, reworking certain characters, and balancing others, Free Fire Max also introduced a new character. OB33 added a new weapon to the arsenal, made a few weapon adjustments, and made other minor changes. Players can now unlock all Free Fire characters without diamonds with this huge update for Free Fire fans. You can find all the changes in the OB33 patch notes below.
Free Fire Max OB33 Patch Notes: Ways to combat toxicity
Garena will introduce a Credit System in which positive behavior will be rewarded. Bad behavior will be punished, such as going AFK, throwing games, verbal abuse, and force quitting. Garena hinted that “we have long believed that survivors who give a helping hand and keep a positive attitude should be recognized and honored, and those who flame and quit should be punished. We are delighted to announce that our vision has come to fruition.”
Those accounts reported for bad behaviour will be deducted 1 to 4 points. Players who regularly act negatively will receive extra deductions. If a player scores under 90, they will be banned from CS-Ranked, and going below 80 will result in a BR-Ranked ban.
Those who consistently behave well will earn 1 to 2 credit points per game and be eligible for prizes.
Report System Improvements
The Free Fire Reporting System has also been updated. You can now report another player on your match history page or the CS mode scoreboard. Garena has also expanded the list of reasons for your reporting. You can now track the progress of your report as well. Players can also report inappropriate voice chats. The muted button will also allow you to do this.
Players can expect another minor update as soon as these new systems go live on 25th March.
Free Fire Characters Can Be Unlocked Through Garena’s New Link System
New Link System in Free Fire lets you unlock all characters without spending diamonds. Players can now link themselves to a particular character via the new system. Characters can be obtained through playing any game mode.
Here is how you can use this system:
1: Select a character to link with.
2: Confirm that you want to link to the character.
3: Complete the missions and fill the progress bar.
4: Claim the Character once it is ready.
Every day, players can only earn a certain number of LINK points. The LINK system will be extended to all characters before this patch update.
Garena adds a new character to Free Fire MAX and makes other changes to characters.
Kenta’s active ability is called Swordsman’s Wrath. When activated, Kenta drops his weapon and creates a shield. His shield will partially negate any damage dealt with by teammates behind it. Kenta will help your team overcome heavy fire, as he is an excellent front-line character.

Steffie
Steffie’s ability now blocks grenades and restores armour durability.
Painted Refuge:
Create a 4m area that blocks throwables. Allies in the area will restore 10% armour durability every second, and ammo damage is taken from enemies will reduce by 10/12/14/16/18/20%. Lasts for 10/11/12/13/14/15s. Cooldown: 115/110/105/100/95/the 90s. Effects do not stack.
