The Latest Finals Update Reintroduces Beloved Holiday Event

Embark Studios has rolled out a packed Update 6.3 for The Finals, and fans have a lot to look forward to. Bringing back the much-loved Bunny Bash event for a brief two-week extravaganza, players get to experience Power Shift with a twist – imagine chaos amped up by Miniguns, Glitch Grenades, and more wild tools. This update isn’t just about the chaos of bunny-themed antics; it also introduces five enticing new rewards for players to earn.

The Finals, a free-to-play FPS that drops players into a destructively dynamic combat game show, is offering more this season. Whether players are selecting from Light, Medium, or Heavy character builds, or decking out their combatants with a fantastic array of gadgets and weaponry, there’s a fresh challenge for everyone. With Season 6 kicking off in March across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam, Embark Studios is making the Spring particularly exciting by reviving a cherished event from the game’s past.

Running through dazzling locales like SYS$Horizon, Monaco, Skyway Stadium, Kyoto, Bernal, and Las Vegas Stadium, the Bunny Bash event challenges players with a tweaked Power Shift mode. The havoc is intensified with additions like Mesh Shields and Thermal Bores, elevating each map’s unique competition. The reward roster is equally impressive, offering Punk Bunny Ears, a Punk Chicken outfit, and various skins, giving each victorious round a stylish edge.

To sweeten the deal, players can snag exclusive goodies like the Green Shoot skin for their weaponry by watching The Finals on Twitch for at least three hours. Meanwhile, those with a competitive streak can aim for the newly opened Ruby Tier in Ranked Tournament. Hearing community feedback loud and clear, the devs have adjusted balance as well, including scaling back the Sword’s robust secondary attack to maintain fair play.

However, the updates don’t stop at enticing new content. Embark Studios continues its commitment to the gaming experience with a slew of improvements across animations and gameplay. Notable fixes include polishing weapon reloads, rectifying odd animation issues, and refining the operation of gadgets and game modes. Improvement doesn’t stop there; they’ve also worked on the UI, performance, and stability, enhancing the game’s overall feel and playability.

In the spirit of thoroughness, the patch notes reveal an exhaustive list of changes, ranging from animation tweaks, character and club modifications, to controller updates, and more. Players will appreciate the newfound polish in arenas like Bernal and Monaco, thanks to improved collision and environmental details. Moreover, the game modes received significant tweaks, ensuring features like loadout previews are fully detailed from the start of a match.

Provided from keen and disciplined player feedback, the update also ensures that weapons, such as the Minigun and SR-84 sniper, sport functioning mechanics that perfectly complement the catalyst of high-paced action. Available across a spectrum of devices and enhanced by the beauty of Unreal Engine 5, The Finals continues to redefine the free-to-play FPS experience with its iterative updates and community-driven development ethos.
