The Finals has just received Hotfix 7.1, focusing on fixing annoying bugs from the Season 7 launch and adding a few nice touches to the Practice Range and store. After an energetic start to Season 7, the developers have rolled out this update to smooth out gameplay and polish your experience.
Season 7’s first week brought plenty of memorable moments, from clever breach tactics to the Healing Emitter saving the day. The team has tackled some issues players encountered, including animations, weapon behavior, and social features. Plus, Season 6 trophies are now proudly displayed in the Practice Range’s trophy cabinet, a neat way to celebrate past achievements.
