As April drew to a close, Free Fire launched a fresh ranked season, reigniting Ankit's competitive drive. With his squad by his side, they tackled the new grind with a single-minded focus. In just fifteen days, every team member had reached heroic rank across all their accounts—a testament to both individual skill and coordinated teamwork.
This season wasn't just about climbing the leaderboard; it marked a new stage in the squad's journey as creators. Inspired by Ankit's vision, each friend launched their own YouTube channel, diversifying their content to reach wider audiences. Ankit, always at the forefront, uploaded immersive hand-cam gameplay, bringing viewers behind the scenes of his playstyle. Yash chose live streaming for real-time interaction, while Amit specialized in tips and tricks for racking up rank points. Sumit offered in-depth tutorials on controls, sensitivity, and gameplay optimization.
Ankit insisted on this variety: "If we all upload the same content, neither your audience nor mine will improve. Cover every angle—let's help players at every skill level." The strategy worked. Viewers flocked to each channel for their specialty, creating a shared support network and fueling the guild's growing fame.
But Ankit's ambitions extended beyond content creation. Determined to accelerate Free Fire's evolution, he rallied his squad—and Gyan Sujan—to flood the official Free Fire Facebook page with innovative ideas. He suggested, without revealing his knowledge of the future, the development of new characters with advanced abilities and even urged them to combine multiple abilities into single legendary heroes. He hinted at new utility items, describing something akin to the yet-unreleased "gloo wall" for open-field protection, hoping to nudge Garena in the right direction.
He also urged the developers to introduce a new competitive mode beyond battle royale—one that would evolve into the crucial Clash Squad. And, always thinking strategically, Ankit suggested the implementation of new ranks for players who craved ever-higher milestones.
The new rank season brought special rewards: classic Season 2 Gold and Heroic T-shirts, once the stuff of future legends, were now within Ankit's grasp across all his accounts. The joy of collecting these rare rewards felt surreal, knowing how prized they would become.
With his subscriber count soaring past 3,000 and his first substantial YouTube income in hand, Ankit saved wisely, planning for big investments—elite passes, rare items, and new opportunities. His gameplay routinely garnered 5,000 views, netting thousands of likes but also a torrent of dislikes from skeptics who doubted his authenticity.
Yash, Sumit, and Amit saw their channels rise too, thanks in part to Ankit's unwavering support and frequent video shout-outs. Together, they cross-promoted their content, building a real sense of community both within the guild and across their growing audiences. The squad's levels soared—Ankit at 65, Yash at 64, Amit and Sumit at 62—cementing their reputations as top-tier veterans.
With fourteen steadfast members (only close friends, Gyan Sujan, and essential extra IDs), Ankit made clear his vision for a permanent, loyal guild. He resisted the temptation to invite unknowns, preferring instead to protect the unity they'd built. Ankit knew that the most powerful legacy wasn't trophies or views, but a fellowship of players ready to change the game—together.
