Garena Free Fire Max’s in-game Light Fest event is now live. The event kicks off today and will go on till October 28. While not explicitly stated, the event is a part of the game’s Diwali celebrations, as is evident by the themes and motifs used during the event. As is the case with most events, players have a chance to earn a host of goodies as part of the event with some given away to players who simply login.
The basic premise of the event is that the Kalahari map has been enveloped in a shroud of black smoke and players will need to ‘gather the light’ to restore things back to how it should be. It’s a pretty silly premise if we’re being honest, but hey, there have been sillier premises in gaming.
Players can gather the light by completing set challenges. These gathered lights can then be exchanged for rewards. This includes one of four of the following sets of items, Legendary Gun Skins, Pets, Costume Bundles, and Emotes. The gathered light can also be used to individually purchase items.
Players can also earn a number of free items by simply logging in. This includes pets, backpacks, loot boxes and more. For example, players who log in for five days can get their hands on the Golden Eagle backpack. After October 14, players will get access to even more content. This includes the Roaring Knight Bundle and the Exchange Store 2. October 14 will also mark the start of the Magic Cube Challenge which will reward players with up to x100 Magic Cube Fragments.
