Free Fire delivers intense, action-packed gameplay, but fair play and sportsmanship are just as critical as your skills. The Honor Score system acts like a hidden report card, tracking your behavior in matches and determining your access to key game features.
What Lowers the Honor Score in Free Fire?
Negative in-game actions are the fastest way to drop your Honor Score. Even minor mistakes can accumulate quickly, especially if they harm your team or disrupt the match.
Actions That Lower Your Score:
- Quitting matches early, particularly in Ranked or squad modes.
- Going AFK during a match, leaving teammates at a disadvantage.
- Intentionally dying or feeding kills to opponents.
- Using toxic, rude, or abusive language in chat or voice.
- Receiving multiple reports from teammates or opponents.
- Cheating or using hacks, which can plummet your score and risk account suspension.
Cheating is the most severe violation, often leading to immediate score drops and harsh penalties like Ranked bans or permanent account suspension. In 2025, Garena has increased penalties for repeated violations on the same day, with extra deductions for players reported multiple times.
What Increases or Maintains Honor Score in Free Fire?
The system rewards positive behavior as much as it punishes negative actions. By playing fairly and supporting your team, you can maintain or boost your score.
Ways to Keep or Boost Your Score:
- Completing every match, even if your team is losing.
- Staying active throughout the game, avoiding idle moments.
- Assisting teammates with heals, revives, or clear communication.
- Keeping chat respectful and avoiding arguments or trolling.
- Playing fairly to avoid reports from other players.
- Participating in casual modes or fair-play missions, which may offer small score boosts.
In 2025, you earn 1 point per clean match, with a daily cap of 5 points. Recent updates prioritize recent behavior, meaning clean matches now outweigh older penalties, making recovery faster. Some events tied to fair play can grant bonus points, and players with a perfect score of 100 may unlock weekly rewards like gold coins, universal fragments, or loot boxes.
Honor Score Thresholds and Consequences
Free Fire doesn't always display your exact Honor Score, but its effects are clear through restricted modes or in-game warnings. Community feedback and player testing have clarified the score ranges and their consequences in 2025.
- 95–100: Excellent standing. Full access to Ranked modes, events, and smooth matchmaking. Players at 100 may earn weekly rewards.
- 90–94: Fair standing. CS-Ranked mode is locked, but other features remain accessible.
- 80–89: Warning zone. BR-Ranked Duo and Squad modes, plus CS-Ranked, are restricted.
- 60–79: High-risk zone. All Ranked modes are blocked, but solo Classic mode is available.
- Below 60: Severe restrictions. No Ranked modes or team play, limited to solo Classic mode. Accounts risk temporary bans.
- 0–30: Critical zone. High chance of account suspension, especially for cheating.
A score below 95 blocks CS-Ranked, while scores below 60 severely limit gameplay. These thresholds, updated in 2025, enforce stricter fairness standards, ensuring toxic players face faster consequences.
How to Recover Honor Score in Free Fire
If your score has dropped, recovery is possible with consistent fair play. The 2025 system rewards steady improvement, with faster point gains for clean matches.
Tips to Recover Your Score:
- Complete every match from start to finish, avoiding early exits.
- Stay active and avoid going AFK, even in casual modes.
- Keep chat positive or mute it to avoid conflicts.
- Focus on Classic mode for low-pressure score recovery, as it offers the same point gains as Ranked without competitive stress.
- Play with trusted friends who won't report you and can support positive actions like healing or reviving.
- Plan 4–6 matches daily with stable internet and a charged device to prevent disconnects.
Each clean match grants 1–2 points, depending on positive actions like reviving teammates. To recover from 85 to 95, you may need 5–10 matches over 2 days. In 2025, Classic mode is recommended for efficiency, as it takes 10–15 minutes per match compared to Battle Royale's 15–20 minutes. Avoid risky behaviors like friendly fire as you near 95 to prevent setbacks.
