What’s New with OB50 and Why Bans Are Happening
Garena dropped the OB50 update for Free Fire, packing in new features and gameplay tweaks. But they’ve also tightened the rules to keep things fair. If you’re caught using hacked or unofficial versions of the game, your account could get permanently banned. These unofficial apps, often found on shady websites, promise cheats like aimbots, unlimited diamonds or coins, wallhacks to spot enemies, or hacks for speed and no recoil. These break Free Fire’s Terms of Service and mess up the game for everyone.
Risks of Using Modified APKs
Using these sketchy apps isn’t just about getting banned—it’s also a security nightmare. Modified APKs can come with malware that steals your info or wrecks your device. They also mess with the game’s fairness and can slow down servers, making things worse for all players. Garena’s clear: stick to downloading Free Fire from legit spots like the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Anything else puts your account and device in danger. If you see something fishy, report it through the in-game system and keep your login info safe by avoiding third-party logins or sharing your details.
Current Events and Staying Safe
Right now, Free Fire has two big events going on: the Free Fire MAX x Naruto collab with Chapter 2: Ninja War and the Free Fire MAX India Cup 2025 (FFMIC), which opened registrations on July 7. Garena wants players to jump into these events but stresses sticking to the rules. Play fair, keep your account secure, and enjoy the game without risking a ban or compromising your device.
How to Appeal a Free Fire Ban
If your account gets banned, you can try appealing through Garena’s official support system. Visit the Free Fire support website and submit a request under the account issues section, providing your in-game ID, username, and a clear explanation of your situation. Be honest—Garena reviews appeals case-by-case, but bans for using cheats or modified APKs are rarely overturned. Avoid submitting multiple appeals, as this can delay the process. To boost your chances, include any evidence, like screenshots, showing the ban might’ve been a mistake. Check your email for updates, and be patient, as reviews can take time.
