Using modified or unofficial game clients in Free Fire? Beware—it can result in a permanent account ban

Garena players, are you enjoying the new Free Fire OB50 Update? Well, while the latest update brings new features, characters and gameplay improvements, it also comes with stricter enforcement of community guidelines. Garena has made it clear that fair play is a top priority, and players found violating the rules risk facing a permanent account ban, and one of the most serious violations is using modified or unofficial versions of the game client.


A modified or unofficial game client is an altered version of the official Free Fire app. These are often distributed by third-party websites or YouTube channels promising unfair advantages like:

• Aimbot or auto-headshot features
• Unlimited diamonds or coins
• Wallhacks and enemy location reveal
• Speed hacks and no recoil scripts

While they may also seem tempting, these versions are against Free Fire's terms of service and pose major risks to your account and device.


Using altered versions of Free Fire or any modified APK files can lead to an immediate ban. To avoid risking your account, always install the game only from trusted sources such as the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

• Always download Free Fire from official sources: Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
• Avoid third-party websites or APK files, no matter what rewards they promise.
• Report players using cheats through the in-game reporting system.
• Never share your login details, especially on mod- or hack-related platforms

Note: It is suggested that players should always download the game from official platforms like the Google Play Store or Apple App Store to stay safe.



Garena treats the use of such clients as cheating, which directly affects the fair competition in ranked and casual matches. If players use this, they are probably going to commit a serious offence because:

• Compromise data security
• Introduce malware or spyware into your device.
• Disrupt game balance and server stability.
