Garena Free Fire OB50 Update: Launch date, new character Rin, Naruto Chapter 2, and five other upgrades in every match
Garena Free Fire OB50 Update Free Fire's numbered updates usually tweak balance and drop a skin or two. OB50, however, lands at a turning-point moment for the game: ranked traffic is dipping, rival shooters are everywhere, and fans have begged for fresh mechanics. Garena's answer rolls out around 31 July 2025 (after a two-week public test that opened on 11 July). Inside are a brand-new character named Rin, a follow-up to last year's wildly popular Naruto collaboration, overhauled weapon stats, slicker menus, and at least one surprise mode aimed at streamers. Most of these features surfaced on the Advance Server, where dataminers and pro squads have already stress-tested the build. Below is a plain-language rundown of every change that matters, so you can decide whether to hoard diamonds, clear storage, or both. Garena Free Fire OB50 launch timeline and how to prepare Advance Server window: 1 1 July → 24 July (registration closed). Full update push: S taged rollout expected 30–31 July; servers usually go offline for ~4 hours. Download size: A ndroid ≈ 800 MB; iOS ≈ 1.2 GB (early estimates). Pre-load tip: Clear at least 2 GB to avoid mid-install failures on older phones. Seven headline features every player will notice in Garena Free Fire OB50 launch update by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Providers are furious: Internet access without a subscription! Techno Mag Learn More Undo New character Rin – Community leaks say she's Hayato's younger sister with a passive that tightens rifle spread after a successful head-shot chain, making her a dream for sniper-hybrids. New support pet – Unnamed yet, but Advance-Server testers report an ability that recharges EP faster while crouched—perfect for stealth pushes. Naruto Chapter 2 event – Themed lobby, scroll-collection missions, and two mythic skins (speculated to be Kakashi and Tsunade). Expect a week-long point shop. Weapon re-balance – M1887 gets a slight range nerf; Groza and SCAR receive recoil smoothing; a hush-hush SMG prototype may debut in customs first. Map touch-ups – Bermuda's Clock Tower adds a rooftop zipline; Alpine gets richer foliage to break line-of-sight sniping lanes. UI polish – Cleaner font, collapsible event tabs, and a new 'recent squad' carousel so you can re-queue with random allies faster. Performance and anti-cheat – 30% faster load times on mid-tier Android; new backend heuristic flags macro taps within 90 seconds. Why Rin could shake up ranked meta According to reports, early scrims show Rin pairs insanely well with Chrono and Alok: land two head-shots, pop Chrono's shield, then beam enemies with near-zero bloom. Garena may tone her passive before global release, but if it ships intact, expect sniper-assault hybrids to dominate high-elo lobbies for at least the first week. Garena Free Fire OB50 update: Diamonds, passes, and how to unlock the new stuff Rin and the pet drop in a Diamond Royale crate; pity counter appears set at 150 draws. Naruto items run on a point-exchange store; grinding daily scroll quests can net one epic skin without spending. Garena teases a Paid Elite Pass bundle that refunds 90 diamonds if you max the pass before 15 August—handy if you're low on cash but high on grind time. Garena Free Fire OB50 Update FAQs Will OB50 raise the minimum device spec? Garena says no; any phone that ran OB49 smoothly should handle OB50, though 2 GB free storage is recommended. Can Advance-Server progress carry into live servers? No. Cosmetic and level resets are total; only feedback and bug-bounty rewards remain. Are previous Naruto Chapter 1 skins returning? Leakers found no files for a re-run, so Chapter 1 cosmetics appear to stay vaulted for now. How do I report bugs post-update? Use the new in-game 'Bug Center' button under settings; logs auto-attach, and accepted critical reports pay 1,000 diamonds. Is there any free way to get Rin? Garena usually adds a milestone login campaign two weeks after launch—log seven days straight, collect tokens, craft a voucher that can be used in the Diamond Royale for a shot at Rin without spending real money.

Celebratory 911 Club Coupe Marks Half-Century Porsche Partnership
Porsche has unveiled an ultra-limited 911 Club Coupe to honour the 70th anniversary of the Porsche Club of America, reviving a tradition now in its third generation. Sixty-nine of these handcrafted editions will be offered for purchase to PCA members in the US and Canada, while a single example will be raffled to a lucky club member—and the inaugural unit will join the Porsche Museum collection. Drawing inspiration from the Carrera T, the new Club Coupe features a 3.0‑litre flat‑six engine delivering 388 hp, paired exclusively with a six‑speed manual gearbox complete with a walnut shift knob. Its chassis benefits from Porsche Active Suspension Management Sport, mechanical limited‑slip differential, rear‑axle steering, Sport Chrono package, a Sport Exhaust system and six‑piston front brakes—everything a purist enthusiast could hope for. Appearance is dominated by a distinctive Sholar Blue metallic finish—a bespoke hue developed through collaboration between Style Porsche, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur and the PCA since 2023. The subtle reimagination of the historic 'Clubblau' paint is complemented by red accents on the SportDesign aero front fascia, Satin Black and Brilliant Silver RS Spyder wheels, a 'Club Coupe' door-legends decal, and a unique 'PCA 70 Year' badge on the engine grille. ADVERTISEMENT Inside, the cabin features illuminated door sills and puddle lamps bearing the PCA 70-year logo, black leather seats highlighted with Speed Blue and Guards Red stitching, and a retro walnut shift lever. Optional tartan seat inserts mirror those found in past PCA editions. Owners may also acquire the Porsche Design Chronograph 1 – 911 Club Coupe watch, which echoes the wheel design with its rotor and sports a titanium or textile strap in PCA colours. This marks the third limited‑edition PCA Club Coupe, following the 50th‑anniversary Carrera S in 2005 and the 60th‑anniversary Carrera GTS in 2015. The new Club Coupe retains the manual-box light‐weight ethos of the Carrera T, ensuring a driver‑focused experience. The vehicle debuted at the 2025 PCA Parade in Oklahoma City during a ceremony attended by PCA members and Porsche executives. Timo Resch, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America, said the car celebrates 'the passion' of PCA members, describing their enthusiasm as 'unmistakable'. Aaron Ambrosino, PCA President, commented that the car symbolises 'what the PCA…stands for,' and reflected excitement for seeing these Coupes at PCA events for 'many years to come'. Production is slated to run from autumn 2025 through spring 2026. While pricing has not been confirmed, it is expected to exceed the base 911 Carrera T price of around US $141,000, factoring in bespoke paint, exclusive trim and additional equipment. The raffle entry for PCA members opens on 11 July, with submissions accepted until 15 August. The draw will take place at California's Rennsport Reunion 7 in September. PCA‑member exclusivity remains firm: after the raffle winner, the remaining units will be offered solely to club members in the US and Canada.

Weekend traffic: Full transit service for Grand Prix weekend
The Canadian Grand Prix is this weekend, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors to the city. With no parking on the island where the event takes place, the city is strongly encouraging anyone planning to go to take public transit, which will offer full service Friday through Sunday, despite a maintenance workers' strike at the Société de transport de Montréal and ongoing tests of the Réseau express métropolitain light-rail line. STM buses, the métro and the REM will all run on full schedules, from 5:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. Final departures of the REM toward Brossard Friday and Sunday night will be at 1:10 a.m. (Saturday and Monday morning, respectively), and 1:40 a.m. for the night of Saturday into Sunday. The Grand Prix is served by the Jean-Drapeau métro station on the Yellow Line. Signs at various métro stations will guide users to how to get there. A special weekend transit fare is available through the Chrono app and Opus vending machines, allowing unlimited trips throughout the ARTM's territory (Zones A-D) between 5 a.m. Friday and 5 a.m. Monday for $19.75. There is also a special river shuttle between the Old Port and Île Ste-Hélène, from 8:15 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday through Sunday, for $6 or free with a weekly or monthly All Modes Opus pass. No new highway disruptions are planned this weekend. Victoria Bridge To facilitate traffic for the Grand Prix, the Victoria Bridge will not adopt a rush-hour configuration on Friday, and will remain one lane in each direction between 7:15 p.m. Thursday and 5 a.m. Monday. Bus route changes The STM is changing two of its night bus routes as of Monday: No. 358 Sainte-Catherine will be renamed 358 René-Lévesque and will travel along René-Lévesque Blvd. from Atwater Ave. to Papineau Ave. No. 368 Avenue-du-Mont-Royal will stop serving the Outremont métro station, simplifying its route to just Laurier Ave. and Côte-Ste-Catherine Rd. Continuing disruptions REM: Except for this weekend, the Réseau express métropolitain remains closed on weekends and ends service at 8:20 p.m. weekdays until summer. Replacement shuttle buses will run between the stations when the REM is not operating, except from 1:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. Highway 10: A westbound lane on the Bonaventure Expressway is closed between the Victoria Bridge and Wellington St. until December. On the Clément Bridge connecting Montreal with Nuns' Island, traffic runs contraflow with one lane in each direction until December. Highway 20/Route 132: In St-Lambert, repaving work on a section of the eastbound highway between the Champlain Bridge and Notre-Dame Ave. requires it to close from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. until the end of July. Highway 40: The Île-aux-Tourtes Bridge between Vaudreuil-Dorion and Montreal Island is down to two lanes in each direction. Ste-Catherine St.: The street is closed to traffic between Stanley St. and McGill College Ave. for work on major renovations through summer. Jean-Talon St.: Work on building the Blue Line métro extension will force parts of Jean-Talon St. to be closed. Affected buses (in particular 141 and 372) are detoured onto Bélanger and Everett Sts. to avoid those areas. St-Jacques St.: Work on underground infrastructure has closed the street between St-Philippe St. and De Courcelle St. until the end of May. Pie-IX Blvd.: Work to extend the SRB Pie-IX south means only one lane is open in each direction between Pierre-de-Coubertin Ave. and Notre-Dame St. Ste-Catherine St. remains open through Pie-IX (and Hochelaga St. as well as on Monday), but other cross streets are closed west of Pie-IX. St-Urbain St.: The overpass over the Ville-Marie Expressway is closed for a long renovation until the end of 2026. Pedestrian access is maintained. Pedestrianized streets this summer Mont-Royal Ave. between St-Laurent Blvd. and St-Denis St. until Oct. 16 and between St-Denis St. and De Lorimier Ave. until Sept. 4.
