Free Fire Advance Server OB34 has finally come out, and along with it, a number of new features and changes have been added to the game. In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase a list of all significant changes in the beta update. Take note that these changes are still in the testing phase and might not be part of the OB34 release.

Players can download the client of Advance Server from its website if they managed to get an Activation Code. The server will be online until May 23.

1. Free Fire Advance Server OB34 new additions

New mystery character

Similar to all previous "OB" patch, the OB34 advance server is going to introduce a new mystery character. He comes with an active ability called "Senses Shockwave", which summons a drone and launches it toward the nearest enemy within 100 meters. The drone explodes upon reaching the target, dealing AoE damage and slow movement speed and fire rate.

The effect lasts for 5 seconds and has a 140 seconds cooldown. Players need to face the direction of the target to launch the drone. Overall, the new character would be pretty strong in a rusher build. Players can launch the drone before rushing to damage and prevent enemies from escaping.

New pet Finn

Finn is the newest pet in Free Fire OB34. It looks like a shark and comes with a skill named "Dash Splash". With the pet equipped, players and their teammates would gain a small boost in movement speed every time a player is knocked down in the 20 meters vicinity. The buff lasts for 5 seconds at max level and has a cooldown of 90.

Overall, this pet is super weak and not worth your resource at all. The boost is small, the detection AoE is low, and the cooldown is massive. Just take any other pets but this one.

New sniper rifle M24

M24 is a new sniper rifle with high mobility and a fast fire rate. It is going to be a viable option for long range fights, replacing the AWM. Chipping away at opponents using this gun is actually pretty deadly.

2. Character buffs and nerfs

Xayne

Xayne's ability gets amplified greatly in OB34. Xtreme Encounter provides 150 HP instead of its current 80 HP, and the bonus damage to gloo walls and shields also increases from 80% to 100%. The duration of the skill is reduced by a whopping 50%, however, down to 10 from 15.

The cooldown of her ability has also been reduced to 130 seconds. Overall, Xayne's ability is much more powerful now, and correct activation allows players to turn the tide of combat fairly easily.

Kenta

Kenta's shield now blocks 65% damage instead of 50%. The duration of the shield also increases by 2 seconds, with its cooldown reduced by half. The character has been underpowered since his release, and these buffs do not change his power level much.

Nairi

Nairi's bonus damage to Gloo Walls has been buffed by 10% at all levels. With the other aspects unchanged, this is just a slight nerf that does not affect Nairi's performance at all.

Skyler

Skyler, one of the most popular characters in the game so far, has received a big nerf to his cooldown. The first level is set at 85 seconds rather than the current threshold of 60 seconds. Overall, while this does not change how the character operates, players need to calculate more now instead of just spamming their ability in every fight.

Chrono

After the huge number of nerfs in previous patches, Chrono finally gets some cooldown buff. However, the 20 second CD reduction does not fix his shield's weakness at all.

Steffie

Painted Refuge's rework in the previous patch made the skill a perfect choice for support in Free Fire. Looks like Garena want to boost the support role, as the skill has received a slight buff in OB34. With a 30 seconds reduction in cooldown at all levels, the ability should be a top pick now.

Alok

Alok's Drop the Beat now has higher cooldown at low levels. This means players need to max it to have the same cooldown as the OB33 version. Overall, this is a fair enough nerf to the skill, as it has been too popular for years now.

A124

After the recent overhaul, Thrill of Battle becomes one of the most powerful active skills in the game. Because of that, its cooldown has been increased by 10 seconds at all levels. This is just a very small nerf and the power of the ability is still more or less intact.

Misha

Her passive now provide less speed and damage reduction. The character is nowhere near as powerful now and is definitely not worth picking.

3. Bomb Squad 5v5 - Ranked

Garena has decided to add the classic competitive FPS mode into Free Fire permanently. The Bomb Squad mode would be ranked from OB34 onwards, with a brand new map called El Pastelo. It has plenty of buildings and corners to help players approach the game mode tactically.

Similar to the bomb defusal mode in most shooters, Bomb Squad features two teams - Attackers and Defender. The former has the task of planting a bomb on the sites, while the latter must guard the sites and defuse the planted explosive.
