Farlight 84 – The Relaunch

One of the most important additions is the newly implemented first-person mode, a game-changing perspective shift and immersive new view that cranks up the intensity and brings players even closer to the chaos. Combined with revamped visual fidelity and smoother controls, first-person mode offers a fresh way to experience the high-octane, hero-driven mayhem Farlight 84 is known for. The 60-player battle royale hero shooter updates and overhauls the Buddy System — the creature-collecting ability that enables players to capture and collect adorable companions to join them in battle, giving high-intensity interactions even more edge. The new Farlight 84 adds several new Buddies and "Super Buddies" with unique abilities and perks, fully rounding out this cute-yet-effective genre-bending mechanic.

The all-new Farlight 84 sees several other additions and improvements, including a  new map (Nextara), upgraded and newly introduced weapons, and a new hero (Kui Dou), and upgraded weapon loadouts enable the creation of hundreds of tactical combinations to outgun opponents.The content update sees Farlight 84's many existing features polished and upgraded, including:

  • Parkour Combat – Run, climb, and vault through dynamic battlegrounds where vertical movement is key. From tight alley shootouts to rooftop chases, parkour adds a fresh layer of tactical depth to every match.
  • Rat Cannon – Launch across the map with the brand-new Rat Cannon. Whether escaping danger or crashing into the frontline, this chaotic tool turns traversal into pure mayhem.
  • Immersive Gunplay – Feel the impact with ultra-responsive gun mechanics. Every shot is backed by 17 synchronized systems for fluid, high-fidelity combat that looks, sounds, and feels real.
  • Buddy System 2.0 – Summon powerful pet allies mid-match. From shifting terrain to stealing items while invisible, Buddies bring unpredictable strategy and game-changing support when you need it most.
  • Hero Synergies – Experiment with explosive new hero-Buddy combos. Whether building aerial fortresses or unleashing teleport ambushes, creative strategies lead to highlight-reel victories.
