New Character: Lila
The new character in Free Fire, Lila, has a special skill called Gloo Strike. This skill lets her slow down vehicles and enemies when they are shot with rifles. Also, if she or an enemy gets knocked down, she gets an extra Gloo Wall and freezes all nearby enemies for a few seconds. This gives her an advantage in battle.
Special Ability – Gloo Strike
Lilaโs ability in Free Fire is called Gloo Strike, and it helps her with both attacking and defending. Hereโs how it works: When Lila shoots an enemy or vehicle with a rifle, the enemyโs movement slows down by 10% for 3 seconds, and if itโs a vehicle, it slows by 50% for 3 seconds. This gives players time to plan their next move and maybe defeat their opponent more easily.
But Gloo Strike does more than just slow down enemies. If a slowed enemy gets knocked down, they are frozen for 3 seconds, and Lila gets a free Gloo Wall, which is helpful for defense in both Battle Royale and Clash Squad modes. However, there is a 10-second wait before you can use Gloo Strike again.
How to Use Gloo Strike Best
Lilaโs Gloo Strike ability is great for players who are good at using rifles. Since her skills work with rifle fire, she is best for medium and long-range fights. If you like to play it safe, her ability to slow enemies and make Gloo Walls gives you an advantage in tough battles.
But if you like using SMGs or shotguns, Lilaโs skills might not work well for you. Since Gloo Strike only works with rifles, close-range fighters might not get the most out of it. Still, if your team uses rifles and plays strategically, Lila can be a strong team player.

A Limited-Time Gloo Wall Buff in the OB46 Update
In the OB46 update, Free Fire not only adds the new character, Lila, but also brings exciting, limited-time Gloo Wall buffs. These include the Wrecking Gadget, Defender Gadget, and Lavish Gadget. These buffs make Gloo Walls stronger in different ways, making the game more fun for players. The buffs increase the damage to Gloo Walls by adding more bullet impact, helping players break through enemy defenses.
Also, when players get knocked down, Gloo Walls will automatically deploy, giving quick cover in important moments. These gadgets also let players put down Gloo Walls with basic supplies to protect themselves and get resources during the fight. Along with the new characters, the OB46 update will also change the skills of Xayne, Luqueta, and Andrew “The Fierce,” and adjust the skills of other characters.
This new feature adds a smart layer to the game, helping players use Gloo Walls better and play a bigger role in the action-packed battles.
Weapon Changes in the Free Fire OB46 Update
The OB46 update brings important changes to Free Fireโs weapons, making both melee and ranged combat better. One big change is that scythes now have a charged attack, giving players a stronger melee option. Also, weapons like the Woodpecker, Trogon, and XM8 will be adjusted to make the game fairer.
Some guns will get balance changes: weapons like the AC80, M4A1, and SVD-Y will be improved for better performance, while the Vector, AK47, and M249 will be made stronger to do better in battles.
On the other hand, the Woodpecker, Trogon, and XM8 will be made weaker to balance the game. But some weapons, like the M870, will stay the same. These changes are meant to make the game feel better and more fun for all players.
