How to Get Cristiano Ronaldo (Chrono) in Free Fire

Cristiano Ronaldo’s character, Chrono, can currently only be unlocked by purchasing him from the in-game store using Diamonds, Free Fire’s premium currency.
However, Chrono is not permanently available in the store. His availability depends on Garena’s character rotation, so players need to regularly check the store and purchase him when he returns.
- Chrono costs 500 Diamonds in the character store.
- Chrono can currently only be purchased with Diamonds, not Gold Coins.
- Garena may change the available purchase methods in future updates, as some characters have become available through different options over time.
Can You Get Chrono for Free?
Currently, Chrono cannot be obtained for free in Free Fire.
When Chrono was first introduced, players had the chance to unlock him through the limited-time Operation Chrono event in December 2020. During the event, players could complete special missions, collect Memory Medals, and exchange them for the Chrono character.
Although the original event has ended, Garena could bring back Chrono through future events or special rewards. Players should regularly check Free Fire announcements and events to avoid missing another opportunity to unlock him.
