Free Fire Honor Score: How It Drops and How to Raise It

To increase your honor score in Free Fire, play complete matches without going AFK, leaving early or being reported, and the score climbs back a little after each clean game. The Honor Score is a behaviour rating with a maximum of 100 points. It drops when you break the game's conduct rules, and once it falls below certain levels, Garena locks you out of ranked modes and eventually team modes. There is no shortcut item or purchase that restores it: steady, clean play is the only way back.

This guide explains how the Honor Score works, what makes it drop, what happens at each level, how to raise it again, and how to check yours.

What the Honor Score Is

The Honor Score is Free Fire's way of tracking player behaviour. Every account sits on a scale of up to 100 points, and a full score means you can access every mode. The system exists to reduce AFK players, early quitters, toxic behaviour and cheating, so that ranked and team matches stay fair for everyone.

You can see your current score by opening your profile from the top-left corner of the lobby and looking for the Honor Score section, which also shows recent changes.

What Makes Your Honor Score Drop

Most deductions come from a short list of behaviours:

• Going AFK. Standing idle during a match, especially early on, counts against you.
• Leaving or quitting matches. Force-closing the game or abandoning a match before it ends is one of the fastest ways to lose points.
• Toxic behaviour. Verbal abuse, harassment and trolling teammates can lead to deductions once reports are confirmed.
• Deliberately losing. Intentionally dying, running into the zone or sabotaging your team is treated as misconduct.
• Cheating or third-party tools. Using hacks, mods or unauthorised apps causes a severe drop and can lead to a ban as well.

Repeated violations make it worse. If a large share of your recent matches include violations, the game applies heavier deductions, so a run of bad behaviour costs more than a single slip.

What Happens When Your Score Drops

As your Honor Score falls, Free Fire restricts access in stages:

1. A small drop has no effect beyond the number itself.
2. Below the first threshold, usually around 90, some ranked modes, starting with Clash Squad Ranked, are locked.
3. Lower down, around 80, Battle Royale Ranked is locked as well.
4. At the lowest levels, around 60 and below, all ranked modes and team play are restricted, leaving only limited casual options.

The exact thresholds have changed over time and can differ slightly between reports, so check the message the game shows when a mode is locked. It will tell you which mode is restricted and what score you need.

How to Raise Your Honor Score

The score recovers through good behaviour, a little at a time:

1. Play complete matches. Each clean, finished match adds a small amount back.
2. Stay active all match. Keep moving, looting and helping your team so the game does not flag you as idle.
3. Never leave early, even when a match is going badly. Quitting undoes the progress you have made.
4. Help your team. Reviving, healing and sticking with squadmates count as positive play.
5. Keep chat respectful, or mute it, so you do not collect reports.

Recovery is gradual by design. If your score has dropped a long way, expect to play a fair number of clean matches before ranked unlocks again. Casual modes that remain open, such as solo matches, are a good place to rebuild.

Avoiding Accidental Drops

Plenty of players lose points without meaning to. A few habits prevent most of these:

• Check your connection before queuing. A weak signal that disconnects you mid-match can count as leaving.
• Charge your phone and close background apps that might crash the game.
• Do not queue when you might be interrupted. If you know you will have to leave soon, play training mode instead.
• Stay in the match until it ends, even after you are knocked out, if your team is still fighting.

Is a Full Honor Score Worth Protecting?

Yes. A full score keeps every mode open, and keeping it at 100 for a while can earn small rewards, such as Gold, fragments or crates, depending on the current system. More importantly, a clean record matters for things like test server selection, where Garena tends to favour accounts in good standing, as with the Free Fire Advance Server.

Honor Score and Account Security

Sometimes a low score is a warning sign that someone else has been playing on your account. If your score drops while you have not been playing, check your linked logins, change your passwords and make sure your account is bound to a login only you control. Binding your account properly is one of the first things worth doing when you start playing Free Fire, since guest accounts are easy to lose and harder to protect.

If you share an account with a player or buy one, ask about its Honor Score before you start. An account with a low score cannot play ranked until it recovers. Listings on Free Fire Accounts can show the profile, including the score, before you buy. You can also hand daily missions to a player through Free Fire Hourly Services, or reach your target rank with Free Fire Boosting once your score is back to full.
