The character system in Free Fire is one of the best in the battle royale genre, with great customization for players. Each Free Fire character is able to equip 4 unique skills that provide various bonuses to the player in-game. Not all skills are created equal, however. While some characters like DJ Alok get the best skill in the game, Maxim pretty much gets the short end of the stick. His ability "Gluttony" is highly situational and most of the time doesn't make any impact at all. In this guide, we would list out everything you need to know about Maxim character in Free Fire.
1 - Maxim's Backstory
Maxim is a very cheerful character, who's actually connected to like half the original roster of Free Fire. The guy is the brother of Misha and has a crush on Kelly, while being Caroline's classmate. After Kelly was kidnapped by a mysterious organization, Maxim and Caroline decided to investigate and was caught in the plot as well. They were then brought to the Free Fire island to participate in Battle Royale combat.
Maxim, despite his pretty boy look, is a glutton who often participates in eating contest - it is really weird that the guy never gets fat.
2 - Maxim's Ability
Maxim was part of the earliest wave of characters in Free Fire, with abilities that barely affect the game at all. The 12% reduction in consume time is the equivalent of half a second, in the best scenario - there is pretty much no reason to use his skill instead of something more useful like let's say Kelly's Sprint passive.
- Level 1: Reduces the time for eating mushrooms and using medkits by 2%
- Level 2: Reduces the time for eating mushrooms and using medkits by 4%
- Level 3: Reduces the time for eating mushrooms and using medkits by 6%
- Level 4: Reduces the time for eating mushrooms and using medkits by 8%
- Level 5: Unlock Maxim's Foodie Jacket.
- Level 6: Reduces the time for eating mushrooms and using medkits by 10%
- Level 7: Unlock Maxim's Achievement
- Level 8: Reduces the time for eating mushrooms and using medkits by 12%
However, if you absolutely want to use Maxim, there is certainly a way to use his ability to your advantage, of course.
3 - Tips and tricks on using Maxim
Consider using the Shiba Inu pet while playing as Maxim - you would be able to find mushroom to fill your character's HP up that way. With maxed Gluttony, your ability to heal in the middle of combat would be slightly faster as well - if possible, try to pop a medkit while fighting if you are not focused. Maxim can be purchased for 8000 gold... however, you probably just purchase the guy for collection purposes.
