Free Fire launches Halloween event ‘O Oculto’ with new mechanics

Free Fire has launched its Halloween-themed event, ‘O Oculto’, running from October 16 to November 1, 2026. The update introduces several new gameplay mechanics and thematic elements designed to blend horror with traditional Battle Royale matches.

In the Battle Royale mode, players can use the ‘Máscara do Além’ to access the ‘Lado Oculto’, an alternative version of the map featuring a darkened sky and mysterious creatures. While in this dimension, players benefit from increased movement speed and higher jumps, and can discover hidden objects. However, engaging in combat or taking damage returns the player to the standard map.

A unique mechanic allows eliminated players to remain active as ‘Fantoches sinistros’ if their squad members are still in the match. In this form, they can access the ‘Lado Oculto’ to support or interact with their teammates through special emotes.

The event also features an interactive haunted mansion that evolves through daily missions, as well as new cosmetic rewards including the ‘Sombra da Noite’ set, the ‘Fuga Macabra’ jeep skin, and the ‘Serra Elétrica’ machete skin.
