Garena, the creator of mobile game Free Fire, announced it’s adding an updated version of the game’s Bomb Squad mode which places emphasis on team strategy. It’s also adding a new map next week.
The new Bomb Squad gameplay is 5v5, and one team defends the bomb while the other attempts to defuse it. Free Fire is also getting a new map for Bomb Squad, called El Pastelo. The new map got a special focus trailer on YouTube and rolls out on June 10.
In addition to the above, Free Fire players get a special event that runs from June 10 to June 16. The event will feature extra rewards, including one for players who log in on June 11.
A recent Data.ai report revealed that Free Fire continues its streak as most-downloaded mobile game. Bomb Squad is currently available for players on both iOS and Android.
