#5. System Upgrade

Utilities and Additional Grenade Slots

As reported before, three Free Fire ladies will receive buffs in OB28 update, including Clu, Laura, and Paloma. This makes them rank among the best female characters in June 2021.

Clu

  • Scanning radius: increase from 30/35/40/40/45/50m to 50/55/60/65/70/75m

Paloma
