New Character - Steffie

Free Fire has also introduced a whole new character, Steffie – a graffiti artist whose unique ability will help increase her team’s defensive stats in a small area by reducing the explosive and bullet damage taken from the opponents. The character is currently available in the Free Fire Store.
