The Finals Steam/Embark Studios

Some lucky players are enjoying a new first-person shooter game, The Finals. It is currently in closed beta and only a selected number of players can download it. Those players should also be able to download a new update released earlier today.

The patch is focused on bug squashing and updates, however, several balancing changes were made as well. You can read about the latter in our previous article. Here, we covered some of the fixes and improvements.

Squad names have been added and local players are now highlighted. Improvements to jump, fall, and landing animations are made, and the eliminated icon will now be displayed to indicate when a player is eliminated. Check out more details below.

Cashout Mode
  • Added a visual effect for coins being lost from Cash Boxes as their value reduces over time in the last 2 minutes of the round
  • Updated HUD widgets to show accurate value of Cash Boxes during the last two minutes of the round

  • Fixed an issue that prevented the unbinding of duplicate buttons
