Training Grounds is another interesting and unexpected addition to the game which will allow players to hang out with their friends and try out all the different weapons and hone their skills.

The Training Grounds feature will also be released on February 28.

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.
