There are a lot of ways players can customize their loadouts in Free Fire, from cosmetics to weapon skins and characters. Amongst them, pets are something that people often overlook. Garena has been upgrading the pet system constantly by adding new pets every time an "OB" patch drop. Currently, there are 15 pets in Free Fire.

In this article, we are going to go through all the pets in the game to answer the question of "which is the best pet in Free Fire in 2021". This list will be divided into 4 tiers: Cosmetic-Only, Situational, Good and Top.

Which is the Best Pet in Free Fire in 2021? (Top Tier Pets)

Overall, Rockie, Ottero and Falcon share the top spot for the Best Pet in Free Fire 2021. They give the player substantial advantages in fights, unlike other pets who only give minimal bonuses. The list of best pet in Free Fire 2020 is not that much different.

Below are details of Top Tier Pets in Free Fire which are also the best pets in the game in 2021.

Rockie

Rockie's ability "Stay Chill" reduce the cooldown of your active skill by 15%. This works wonders if you are using skills with long cooldowns like Chrono's shield or Xayne's heal. This is perfect for aggressive players.

Ottero

The Otter pet Ottero is probably the best healing pet in Free Fire currently. His skill "Double Blubber effectively gives you an extra 65% of your Medkit healing in the form of EP. This is pretty much Spirit Fox's ability but 5 times better. The extra EP can also be used to fuel A124's ability as well.

Falcon

The Falcon is a pet that all competitive squads need to get. It increases the landing speed of the whole team. Being able to land before your enemies is pretty important - you can loot first and even create an ambush.

Good Tier Pets

Besides the Top Tier pets which are clearly more superior in the game, you can also make use of Good Tier pets in suitable situations.

Poring

The blob pet Poring was added to the game in a collaboration with Ragnarok Online. His ability "Stitch and Patch" is fairly useful - it restores the durability of your armor and helmet over time, at the rate of 1 per second. It also prevents armors and helmets up to level 3 from being destroyed.

Poring is a ball of slime.

Overall, this ability is super good - it saves you from having to pick up or repair your gears.

Spirit Fox

The best Japanese-themed pet in the game - it goes perfect if you are using a samurai or ninja set. The Spirit Fox's ability gives you 10 extra HP every time a medkit is activated. This is fairly substantial, however, there is a chance for overheal.

Detective Panda

Detective Panda gives you an ability similar to Jota's skill - you would get 10 HP restored after every kill. While this is just a fifth of what Jota's ability does, it works on all weapons and not just SMGs and Shotguns. Appearance-wise, the panda pet is fairly cute - perfect for a Chinese-style set.

Mr. Waggor

Mr. Waggor's ability provides you with an unlimited supply of Gloo Grenades. If you have less than 2, it would give you one every 100s. Overall, Mr. Waggor is one of the most useful pets in the game, especially in the Battle Royale mode in which Gloo Walls are always needed.

A single Gloo Wall could provide you with a cover that might save your life, especially in the later phases of the match.

Beaston

The Gorilla pet Beaston lets you throw grenades 30% further with its skill "Helping Hand". This is extremely useful in squad modes in which players often group up together - a single grenade blast can be super effective.

Dreki

The Dragon Pet Dreki's Dragon Glare lets you detect enemies in the vicinity who are using medkits. Any form of information is useful, even something as situational as this one. In close quarter combat in buildings, Dreki would let you get the jump on careless foes.

Situational Tier Pets

Next come the Situational Tier pets which may not be compared to Gold Tiers but still useful in certain scenarios.

Robo

This is a ball-shaped robot with rabbit ears that follow you around. Based on its design, Robo is suitable to go with futuristic themed sets. Its ability is not that useful in combat, however - it only increases the HP of your Gloo Walls.

At max level, Wall Enforcement gives your wall 100 extra HP - this can be useful in combat against Xayne, but still very situational.

Moony

The Alien Pet "Moony" is the third flying pet in Free Fire. It is an alien wearing a hip-hop costume while sitting on a flying saucer. Overall, Moony looks pretty cool - suitable if you are using a hip-hop style set.

His ability "Paranormal Protection" is the definition of situational. It reduces 35% of the damage you take while using medkit or repairing (interaction countdown). Usually, people would go into a safe place to do these things... hence, this skill is useless.

Night Panther

The Night Panther is probably one of the coolest looking pet in the game. Its ability is fairly useful - you get an extra 45 inventory space at max level. However, this is not exactly a direct bonus - you still need to find the items to fill it up. This is why this pet is only at the Situational tier.

Shiba

The Japanese pup Shiba is one of the most used pets in the game due to its cute appearance and moderately useful ability. Its "Mushroom Sense" lets you detect one Mushroom in your vicinity every 120 seconds. This is just an indirect bonus, as the player still has to get to that location to pick it up.

Dr. Beanie

Dr. Beanie's Dashy Duckwalk increases the player's movement speed while crouched. This is very useful in sniper builds but not much else.

Cosmetic-Only Tier Pets

As its name suggests, the group of Cosmetic-Only Tier pets are hardly useful in combat. They may look very cool but you won't want to use them in the fights.

Mechanical Pup

While the Mechanical Pup looks cool, it is just for show, as the thing does not have any ability whatsoever. It is best to avoid this pet if you want to squeeze out as much benefit as possible. If you need a mechanical pet, go with the Night Panther.

Kitty

If this was a list for the cutest pet in Free Fire, Kitty would be in the highest tier. However, if you want to win, it is best to bring any other pets than this one. It has no ability whatsoever.
