Speculations have it that yet another massive update is incoming down the coming months. Innovation is at its pinnacle with the Devs since around the end of last year. Free Fire has been regularly releasing patch updates. The upcoming Free Fire Kapella Patch is currently pending user feedback and bug removals before coming out globally. So, without any further ado let’s get to the exciting part:

What’s coming in the Kapella Patch?

1. New Characters: Kapella and Lucas

Free Fire is all set to introduce two new characters in the game in the new Free Fire Kapella Patch. Kapella, an artist and Lucas, a soccer player. Kapella’s skill is all about HP and a little more effective in squad matches. The name of her skill is ‘Healing Song‘. The skill increases the effects of healing items and reduces ally HP loss when knocked down. She isn’t a legendary character, implying, her skill is not going to be character exclusive. Lucas, on the other hand, is going to be a legendary character. He won’t come along with the update patch, though. A little later on, probably. Consequently, much information isn’t available about his skill but it’s likely to be a boost to the physical attributes. Though, for the time being, it’s, apparently, a sprint speed increasing skill different from that of Kelly’s old self.

2. New Weapons, Throwables and Skins

Several new armory weapons are coming along with this patch. Let’s take a quick look at them:

a) Thompson Gun

It’s an SMG. The thing is that this gun can be considered to be an alternative for the infamous m1887. That shotgun is known for its insane range and firepower. The Thompson Gun matches the expectations of those wanting an SMG that can endure the fight against an m1887. Special emphasis should be put on the fact that this gun has got an insane range, just like that of m1887. Plus, it’s safe to assume, that this gun won’t get any ‘special skins’ so as to put the ‘P2W’ players on top of the pile. But, it’s different from the m1887 in the sense that it supports attachments excluding an extended magazine. The gun comes with 42 bullets per magazine that can’t be extended further. Although, you are free to attach the Thompson with a muzzle, silencer, foregrip, bipod or stock.

b) Shield Gun

Garena is showcasing its creativity to an applaudable extent with the introduction of this gun, in classic, of course, as of now. So, this gun, as the name suggests, basically comes with a pre attached shield. This shield, although, is not very durable but strong enough to block initial enemy shots COMPLETELY. That’s right! You can’t inflict damage to an enemy before taking out the shield first. As one would expect, the gun deals low damage to opponents. But, of course, no other gun can protect you from an headshot, even for once.

c) Sniper Gun

A new sniper gun is also coming with this patch. As of now, no solid evidence is available about its attributes.

d) Smoke Bombs and Grenade Skins

Many players awaited this release since the last year. The smoke coming out of this bomb will mess with your visibility, to a considerable extent. Throwing this grenade will be totally similar to bursting those smoke containers but at your desired location. Although, this bomb will be available in clash squads matches only, for the time being. Quite understandable, the Devs want to further test it out and improve on it before rolling this out in classic and ranked matches

Apart from this, gloo wall skins and grenade skins will be made available in the store. These skins are, purely, for the aesthetic appeal only. No skin provides any sort of damage boost or such.

3. New Pet: Ottero

A new pet that is immensely cute and adorable is going to drop along with the Free Fire Kapella patch. The pet is primarily, focused on HP, as almost everything else has been in the recent updates. Its skill DOUBLE BLUBBER recovers some EP along with HP when you use treatment gun or med-kits. Quite a handy skill!

4. New Game Modes

Two, or rather three, new game modes are awaiting the players to try them out. One is ‘Squad Rank’ and other is ‘Kill Secured’. One more mode called the ‘Gun King’ mode is likely to be introduced later on, once the update patch comes out. Let’s find out a little more about these modes:

a) Squad Rank

So, this is just your clash squad with its own separate ranking system. If you win, your rank increases else decreases. You can only buy two gloo walls and one smoke grenade per round.

b) Kill Secured

Based on the TDM format, in this one you have to kill and make sure to collect some token that spawns on loot boxes post killing someone. All of this, just to secure your ‘kill’. If the enemy collects their token after respawn the ‘kill’ goes to their team. So, it’s like you have to kill enemies and make sure you or your teammates collect those tokens to secure the ‘kills’. Else, the enemy might just steal your ‘kills’.

c) Gun King

As the name suggests, in this mode you’ll have to prove your overall expertise over all sorts of weapons. So, basically, in this mode after a certain number of kills with a specific weapon, the weapon will be switched with another one. It’s like a cycle of weapons, you to kill a certain number of enemies with each weapon to stand a chance to achieve ‘Booyah’.

5) Other Gameplay Changes

Clash Squads can now be played in Kalahari Map.

New blimp and in-game events. This blimp will airdrop battle essentials such as gloo walls, med-kits and common weapons with ammo.

New match lobby. Yes, the match lobby will change as well. The new lobby is set on the backdrop of a sporting beach.

New emotes, backpacks and gun skins to come as well. Might interest to note here, new XM8 skin will also feature in this update. Speculation has it that it might be a ‘legendary’ skin.
