1. Official OB46 Release Date
Based on Garena’s historical 60-day Clash Squad Ranked schedule, the OB45 season is set to conclude shortly. The highly anticipated OB46 update will officially launch globally on September 15, 2026. During the launch day, servers will be taken offline for maintenance from 9:30 AM IST to 5:00 PM IST. Players who log in immediately after the maintenance will receive exclusive update rewards, including weapon royale vouchers and gold.
2. The New ‘Mystery Character’
Every Advance Server features a “Mystery Character” whose real name is hidden until launch. The OB46 Mystery Character introduces a completely unique active skill focused on anti-healing.
- Skill (Active): When activated, the character throws a nano-pulse grenade. Any enemy caught in the 5-meter radius will have their healing effects (from Medkits, Alok’s aura, or Dimitri’s ring) reduced by 60% for 10 seconds. This character is going to completely destroy the current “infinite heal” meta in Clash Squad, forcing players to play much more aggressively instead of hiding behind cover to regenerate health.
🛡️ EXPERT COMMENTS: GLOO WALL NERFS
Are Gloo Walls being ruined?
The biggest controversy in the OB46 Advance Server is the massive nerf to Gloo Wall HP. Garena is heavily reducing the durability of standard Gloo Walls, meaning weapons like the M82B or characters with armor-penetration abilities will shatter them in half the time. This is a direct response to the esports community complaining about the ‘turtle meta,’ where competitive end-games simply turned into 12 players hiding in impenetrable Gloo Wall fortresses.
