Free Fire just rolled out its OB42 update, bringing in some big changes that might not be so obvious at first glance. These changes can really shake up your gameplay, so it's crucial to know what they are. In this article, we'll break down 8 key hidden alterations in Free Fire after the OB42 update that could give you the upper hand the next time you dive into the battle royale.

8 hidden changes in Free Fire OB42 update

Falcon's New Trick

The Falcon pet used to speed up your gliding and diving, but now it does something different. If you're parachuting with Falcon equipped, it will stop enemies from auto-aiming at you. This means they can't easily take you down with a single shot while you're in the air.

Secret Room Access

The OB42 update lets you get into a secret room on Peak using new teleportation devices found in vending machines. Grab a teleport device, head to the location, set it up, and teleport into the secret room. It's a great spot for hiding or surprising enemies.

Fist Fight Zone

There's now an official fistfight area on top of the Peak house. No need to randomly brawl on the rooftop anymore – head to the designated spot for some melee action.

Cancel Button for Skills

Characters like A124 and Skyler now have a cancel button for their skills. This lets you stop using a skill if enemies move away, so you don't waste it.

No FF Coins in Arsenals

Unfortunately, FF coins are no longer in arsenals. But don't worry, there are FF coin machines scattered across the map for you and your squad to use and get 200 coins easily.

Joseph's Power Boost

Joseph got a major buff in OB42. He's now immune to marking skills, movement speed reduction, and A124's skill. Plus, he gives a 10% movement speed boost to players for 5 seconds, making him stronger.

Using Skills While Jumping

In the past, you couldn't activate character skills while jumping. Now, you can use skills seamlessly even in mid-air, allowing for quicker and more responsive plays.

Thiva's Improved Crouch Skill

Thiva's skill can now be activated from a crouching position. Just move the joystick and press the skill button to make your character stand up before dashing.
