A new update for The Finals has today hit on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. Following its launch this past month, The Finals has slowly started to gain a sizable audience and has seen continued patches from developer Embark Studios. Now, these ongoing updates for the latest free-to-play shooter have resulted in a new patch going live that should shift the meta of The Finals in some slight, yet important, ways.ย 

For the most part, update version 1.5.5 for The Finals looks to implement various balance changes. These balance tweaks have notably impacted a variety of different weapons and gadgets. Some weapons, like the CL-40 and MGL32, have received some slight buffs, while the FCAR and Guardian Turret have been nerfed. Outside of these slight alterations, The Finals has also nerfed the period of time that players are invulnerable after being revived.ย
