Garena’s OB55 update adds four new Free Fire weapons: the M7 assault rifle, the Skorp SMG, the RPK light machine gun and the Hawk sniper rifle. All four are scheduled to arrive on October 1, 2026, with the next Clash Squad season, and each introduces its own firing mechanics and recoil behavior.
Where to get them depends on the mode. In Battle Royale, players can find them through loot or, for selected weapons, Vending Machines using FF Coins. In Clash Squad, the four weapons are purchased with CS Cash. This Free Fire M7 Skorp RPK Hawk guide separates the two modes and explains the release date, weapon mechanics, locations and prices using Garena’s official OB55 information.
Free Fire M7, Skorp, RPK & Hawk Release Date
The release date for all four weapons is October 1, 2026. Garena’s OB55 patch notes place the M7, Skorp, RPK and Hawk in the new-weapon group scheduled for the next Clash Squad season on that date.
Garena separates the Battle Royale Vending Machine changes from the weapon launch and lists those purchases as coming in early October. That means a weapon can be part of the October 1 rollout while its Vending Machine purchase option may appear slightly later.
As of September 29, 2026, the four weapons are announced but not yet scheduled as live weapons before October 1. Garena does not give a precise launch time in the patch notes, so check the live Clash Squad store, Battle Royale loot and Vending Machines after the release begins.
Free Fire M7 Overview
The M7 is a fully automatic assault rifle designed around high damage, solid accuracy and mid-to-long-range combat. Its most unusual feature is a new recoil system that steadily pulls the player’s aim upward while firing.
Garena explains that players can counter the upward movement for consistent shots or use the upward kick to help line up headshots. This makes recoil control a central part of the weapon’s handling rather than relying only on the usual bullet-spread behavior.
In Battle Royale, the M7 is listed as rare ground loot and can also appear in high-tier blue zones and Arsenals. A Vending Machine option is listed for early October at 400 FF Coins with a limit of 5 purchases per match. In Clash Squad, the M7 costs 1600 CS Cash.
How to Get the M7 in Free Fire
Battle Royale
- Rare ground loot. The M7 can appear as floor loot, but Garena specifically identifies it as rare.
- High-tier blue zones. These higher-tier areas are another listed source for the weapon.
- Arsenals. Garena includes Arsenals among the M7’s Battle Royale sources.
- Vending Machine. From early October, the M7 can be purchased for 400 FF Coins, with a 5-per-match purchase limit.
Garena’s OB55 notes do not provide exact map coordinates or spawn percentages, so players should use the live map and in-game loot system rather than relying on unofficial fixed-location claims.
Clash Squad
In Clash Squad there is no Battle Royale-style ground loot route. The M7 becomes available in the Clash Squad store for 1600 CS Cash from October 1.
Free Fire Skorp Overview
The Skorp is a submachine gun built around a high rate of fire and high armor penetration. Garena says those characteristics keep it effective even during the later stages of a match.
The Skorp uses a recoil system similar to the M7, meaning its handling is based around upward aim movement rather than simply relying on ordinary bullet spread. The Free Fire weapons database also lists the Skorp with Recoil and High Fire Rate characteristics.
In Battle Royale, the Skorp comes from ground loot and Weapon Racks. It is also listed as the default weapon after a Super Revival. Its early-October Vending Machine price is 100 FF Coins, with no purchase limit listed by Garena. In Clash Squad, it costs 1500 CS Cash.
How to Get the Skorp in Free Fire
Battle Royale
- Ground loot. The Skorp can appear as regular floor loot.
- Weapon Racks. Weapon Racks are another listed source.
- Super Revival. Garena lists the Skorp as the default weapon after a Super Revival in Battle Royale.
- Vending Machine. From early October, the weapon is listed at 100 FF Coins with no purchase limit stated.
Clash Squad
The Skorp costs 1500 CS Cash in the Clash Squad store from October 1. The Battle Royale loot and Super Revival details do not apply to this mode.
Free Fire RPK Overview
The RPK is a light machine gun (LMG) with a fully automatic firing system and the new recoil mechanic. Garena describes it as combining machine-gun firepower with assault-rifle mobility.
It is positioned as a versatile weapon for close-range combat, while recoil control helps maintain accuracy against targets farther away. The official weapons database identifies the RPK with Recoil and Accurate characteristics.
In Battle Royale, the RPK is listed as ground loot and Weapon Rack loot. Unlike the M7, Skorp and Hawk, Garena’s OB55 patch notes do not list a Battle Royale Vending Machine price for the RPK. In Clash Squad, it costs 1500 CS Cash.
How to Get the RPK in Free Fire
Battle Royale
- Ground loot. The RPK can appear as floor loot from October 1.
- Weapon Racks. Weapon Racks are the other Battle Royale source listed by Garena.
Garena does not provide an RPK Vending Machine price in the OB55 source, so this guide does not invent one.
Clash Squad
The RPK is sold for 1500 CS Cash in the Clash Squad store from October 1.
Free Fire Hawk Overview
The Hawk is a sniper rifle with a unique firing style. Its magazine carries only two rounds, but Garena gives it a high rate of fire for a sniper and strong burst potential.
Garena says that landing both shots quickly can instantly take down an enemy wearing low-tier armor. The reticle also rises when firing rapidly, creating a recoil-like effect. Because of that, precise shot placement is important when using the weapon.
In Battle Royale, the Hawk comes from ground loot and Weapon Racks. Its early-October Vending Machine option costs 400 FF Coins with a limit of 5 purchases per match. In Clash Squad, the Hawk costs 1700 CS Cash.

M7 vs Skorp vs RPK vs Hawk
The four weapons belong to different classes and use different handling characteristics. The comparison below sticks to information Garena has officially published rather than assigning an overall ranking.
| Weapon | Class | Main characteristic | Battle Royale sources | Clash Squad price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M7 | Assault rifle | Fully automatic; upward-pulling recoil; mid-to-long range | Rare ground loot, high-tier blue zones, Arsenals | 1600 CS Cash |
| Skorp | SMG | High rate of fire and armor penetration; recoil similar to M7 | Ground loot, Weapon Racks, default after a Super Revival | 1500 CS Cash |
| RPK | Light machine gun | Fully automatic; machine-gun firepower with assault-rifle mobility | Ground loot, Weapon Racks | 1500 CS Cash |
| Hawk | Sniper rifle | Two rounds; high rate of fire; rising reticle when firing rapidly | Ground loot, Weapon Racks | 1700 CS Cash |
Garena has not published complete damage, fire-rate or numerical recoil figures for the four weapons in the OB55 notes, so any exact figures beyond the officially stated information should be treated cautiously.
What Is Different About the New Recoil System?
The M7 introduces a recoil system in which firing steadily pulls the player’s aim upward. This is different from simply describing the effect as ordinary bullet spread because the point of aim itself moves.
The Skorp uses a similar system, while Garena also places the RPK on the new recoil system. The Hawk is slightly different: its reticle rises during rapid firing, which Garena describes as a recoil-like effect.
- M7: new upward-pulling recoil system.
- Skorp: recoil system similar to the M7.
- RPK: also uses the new recoil system.
- Hawk: rising reticle during rapid firing creates a recoil-like effect.
Garena does not provide numerical climb rates or exact recoil-pattern values in the OB55 source.
Battle Royale Weapon Locations
Garena describes Battle Royale sources by category rather than publishing fixed map coordinates or spawn percentages.
| Weapon | Ground loot | Weapon Racks | Other BR sources | Vending Machine |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M7 | Yes, rare | Not listed | High-tier blue zones, Arsenals | 400 FF Coins, limit 5 per match |
| Skorp | Yes | Yes | Default after Super Revival | 100 FF Coins, no purchase limit stated |
| RPK | Yes | Yes | None listed | Not listed |
| Hawk | Yes | Yes | None listed | 400 FF Coins, limit 5 per match |
The M7, Skorp and Hawk Vending Machine options are listed by Garena as early October, so those purchase options should not automatically be assumed to appear on October 1 at the exact same time as the weapon launch.
Clash Squad Prices for the New Weapons
From October 1, the four weapons have these Clash Squad store prices:
| Weapon | Clash Squad price |
|---|---|
| M7 | 1600 CS Cash |
| Skorp | 1500 CS Cash |
| RPK | 1500 CS Cash |
| Hawk | 1700 CS Cash |
These are Clash Squad prices only. Battle Royale uses loot and FF Coin Vending Machine sources for the weapons that have vending options.
Free Fire OB55 Weapon Changes You Should Know
The four new weapons are part of a wider weapon rebalance in OB55. Garena says it is widening differences between weapon classes to give each a clearer role in combat, with these changes arriving alongside the next Clash Squad season on October 1.
- SMGs: changes emphasize mobility and firing behavior while reducing some range-related advantages.
- Shotguns: continue to focus on close-range burst combat with mostly smaller adjustments.
- Assault rifles: receive accuracy and other model-specific adjustments.
- Sniper and marksman rifles: shift further toward high-damage combat with movement-related trade-offs.
- Machine guns: receive damage and fire-rate changes while trading some mobility.
These broader balance changes should not be assumed to apply identically to every new weapon. For example, Garena does not state that the new RPK follows every exact standing-versus-crouching accuracy adjustment listed for existing machine guns.
OB55 also brings back NARUTO SHIPPUDEN Chapter 1, including the Nine Tails event, Hidden Leaf Village content, Ninjutsu skill cards and other collaboration features. Read our Free Fire Naruto Shippuden collaboration guide for the wider event, our Free Fire Hinata free reward guide for the reward side, and our Free Fire Reanimation Revival Points guide for the returning revival mechanic.
Are M7, Skorp, RPK and Hawk Available Right Now?
Not before the announced October 1 release. As of September 29, 2026, the four weapons are announced in Garena’s OB55 patch notes but are scheduled for October 1 with the next Clash Squad season.
Garena’s weapons database already lists the M7, Skorp, RPK and Hawk, but an online database listing should not be treated as proof that a weapon is playable before its announced release. Once October 1 arrives, check the live Clash Squad store and Battle Royale sources in your region.
