The Finalshas received a new patch which makes major balance changes to the Medium build and more.
Update 1.5.5went live today (January 24) with a main focus on providing some much-needed balance tweaks to the Medium build, specifically by nerfing some of its weapons. The update has also decreased the length of invulnerability after a revival.
Embark Studios noted that it’s considered player feedback and explained that it will be overhauling the Medium build’s Recon Senses ability as well, which is being worked on right now.
“You can look forward to that change and more in next week’s update,” the studio confirmed.
Additionally, the patch has also implemented a fix to an issue that was causing certain GPUs to crash for players, while also updating tournament matchmaking in a change which will “lead to tighter player skill-gap in tournaments.”
On top of these technical changes, players can also find some new goodies in the in-game store, including the brand-new Contam Couture Set which comes complete with a yellow hazard suit, gas mask, and shovel charm.
