Free Fire OB31 Patch Notes | Illuminate Update
Here are the official patch notes for the Free Fire OB31Update that will soon be rolling out to all the supported platforms:
Character
Skyler
Hold-to-aim function on the skill button added for better precision.
“We realized that it hasn’t been very convenient to use Skyler’s skill when attempting to aim. This patch, we’ve added a hold-to-aim button (similar to that of a sniper), so you can penetrate your enemies’ Gloo Walls in better Rhythm.”
Riptide Rhythm:
Players can now hold to aim using the skill button
Olivia
Increased extra HP for revived teammates.
“We have enhanced Olivia’s skill so that players revived by Healing Touch will receive more HP than they would have before this patch. Help your teammates get back on track faster!”
Healing Touch:
Revived players will be revived with extra 30/36/43/51/60/70 HP -> 30/40/50/60/70/80 HP.
Xayne
Longer skill active time, enhanced Gloo Wall damage increase, shorter cooldown.
“Controlling Xayne’s skill has been difficult in the past, so we tweaked its active time so that she could survive in “Xtreme” situations.”
Xtreme Encounter:
Gets 80 HP temporarily (decays over time), 40/50/61/73/86/100% -> 80/90/100/110/120/130% increased damage to Gloo Walls and shields. Last for 10s -> 15s. Cooldown: 150/140/130/120/110/100s.
Maxim
Decreased the time reduction of using Med Kits.
“Even after Gluttony’s skill adjustment last patch, it still proves to be too reliable compared to other passive skills. We’re reducing the speed of Gluttony this patch so players will have to choose when they want to heal up more wisely. Plus, it’s not good to eat so fast, anyway.”
Gluttony:
Eating and using MedKits faster by 5/8/12/17/23/30% -> 5/9/13/17/21/25%.
