What Are Buddies in Farlight 84?

Buddies are deployable companions with unique abilities that can support your team in different ways — from reviving fallen teammates to creating smoke cover or dealing direct damage.

Some are common, while others are rare or golden versions with boosted capabilities. This season’s meta puts Buddies at the center of strategies, especially in ranked matches and late-game zones.

Most Important Buddies This Season

1. Buzzy & Golden Buzzy

• Buzzy retrieves a fallen teammate’s loot box so you can revive them without reaching a respawn beacon.
• Normal Buzzy has a 100m range and can carry one box.
• Golden Buzzy has unlimited range and can carry two loot boxes at once, making it one of the most powerful Buddies in the game.

2. Time Dominator

• Pushes the safe zone away from you and onto enemies.
• Extremely useful in the final zone where zone damage is high.
• Only spawns once per match, so grab it if you see it.

3. Squid Guard & Smokey

• Both create smoke for cover, essential for revives and healing.
• Squid Guard creates a horizontal smoke line, while Smokey creates a circular smoke area.
• Important because this season, heroes don’t have smoke abilities and it’s not available in ground loot.

4. Thunder Hound

• Summons storm clouds that strike enemies with lightning.
• Works best when combined with Watchman’s turret and bombardment, creating chaos for enemies.

5. Sparky & Golden Sparky

• Acts like a grenade.
• Golden Sparky is a cluster grenade, exploding multiple times for massive damage.
• Great for Biu users to wipe enemies in seconds.

6. Squeaky

• Launches you from one spot to another instantly.
• Perfect for solo vs squad players, aggressive entry fragging, or escaping danger quickly.

Why Buddies Are Essential This Season

With more players pushing ranked and intense endgame fights expected, Buddies can mean the difference between victory and defeat. From reviving teammates safely to creating life-saving cover or turning the final zone in your favor, the right Buddy can completely change your match outcome.

So, Always have at least one revive Buddy (like Buzzy) and one cover Buddy (like Smokey) in your squad. Golden versions are always worth chasing due to their enhanced abilities. Combine Buddy abilities with your hero’s skills for maximum impact. If you’ve been ignoring Buddies until now, this season is the time to take them seriously — your wins may depend on it.
