There are so many features in Garena Free Fire that make it stands out from other Battle Royale games on the market. But the one that perhaps should get the most credit is the character system. With every big patch, Free Fire introduces one or two powerful personas for players to choose from. As of now, the game has a total of 35 playable characters. Survivors can unlock them by leveling up in the game as well as spending currencies to purchase them from the store.

However, if you're just starting playing Free Fire, currencies will be the number one issue. New players do not have as many gold coins to spend, and Diamonds are expensive. Yet, there are still ways for you to enjoy the game. Here are the top 5 characters you can unlock right off the bat!

#1 Ford

Cost: 2000 Gold Coins

The cheapest price for a character in Free Fire is 2000 Gold Coins, and that's where we start. The number one contender for the list is Ford. He's one of the characters you can unlock very early in the game. Ford's passive ability is called Iron Will. It allows him to reduce damage in the blue zone by 4%.

#5 Hayato

Cost: 8000 Gold Coins

Last but not least, the legendary samurai Hayato will sweep through the battlefield to appear on the number 5 spot on our list. He's a bit on the expensive side, but it worths every gold coin. Hayato's passive - Bushido, increases his armor penetration for every 10% loss of maximum health. That's why this character is meant for aggressive players. Put yourself in the high risk, high rewards situation and claim the win!
