Overall, these two attachments are the most powerful amongst the 7 attachments introduced in Free Fire OB30 advance server. More HP is always useful, and the Vest HP booster gives you just enough to tank one more shot. For example, an increase from 200 to 240 can make a big difference between 1 shot and 2 shot kills. Vest thickener is situationally useful.

2 - Free Fire OB30 weapon buffs

Garena has buffed the weakest weapon in each class.

Spas12	+10% range
FF Knife	Damage +50% Attack speed +20%
P90	+10% range
AWM	Armor Penetration +8%
SKS	Minimum damage when scoped: +25%

Overall, the biggest winner of Free Fire OB30 weapon changes is probably the SKS. A damage increase for a marksman rifle is not a joke - with the +25% minimum damage, players will be able to deal damage much more consistently now.

The FF Knife also got an amazing buff. However, being a melee weapon with low reach, it is still useless.

Free Fire OB30 weapon changes boost the SKS greatly.

3 - Free Fire OB30 weapon nerfs

Garena has nerfed the UMP and Vector multiple times in a row. These two are the strongest and most popular weapons in the SMG class, alongside the MP40.

Grenade	Maximum damage: -25%
UMP	Recoil +8%
Vector	Reload time: -20% Fire rate: -5% Ammo: -5 Akimbo firing speed: -20%. Movement speed on Akimbo: -4%

The grenade nerf in Free Fire OB30 is probably the biggest change, however, as you can no longer instantly kill a player with a grenade anymore. If an enemy is directly hit by a grenade, the blast would only leave them at critical HP.

The Vector Akimbo got greatly nerfed, with Akimbo firing speed: -20% being the biggest hit on its damage potential. However, the rest of the nerfs are fairly minor - you can probably still use the Vector like normal.
