As Halloween creeps closer, “The Finals” has dropped a hauntingly exciting update that promises to shake things up in the arena. The original article can be found here. Let’s dive into the details of Update 4.5.0, where candy isn’t the only thing on the menu!
Halloween is Here!
Yes, you heard it right! Starting tomorrow, players can immerse themselves in a brand-new Halloween event with 27 collectible rewards. Sponsored by HOLTOW, the event encourages you to carve your pumpkins with care-because who wants a nasty accident while trying to get spooky?
Ready to join the Treat Hunt Collection Event? The excitement doesn’t stop there. A new feature has been introduced, and it’s as flashy as fun: the Reward Wheel! That’s right, folks; “The Finals” is taking a page out of classic game show playbooks. Spin to win, and you might walk away with some spectacular prizes!
Spin that Wheel!
Instead of simply adding cosmetics to the store this Halloween, you’ll find them on the Reward Wheel. You’ll need tickets—up to three each day, earned by completing daily contracts to get in on the action. The best part? Every spin is a win! If you land on an item you already own, you’ll get some VR’s back. So, even if luck isn’t on your side, you’re still in for a treat!
Collecting all the rewards will net you the grand prize: the Stealth Specter Bundle. Trust us, you’ll want to flaunt this in the arena!
Feedback is Key
This update is even more chilling because it’s a first for “The Finals.” The developers are eager to gather your feedback post-event, ensuring that each iteration only gets better. So, after you’ve spun your way to victory, watch for a survey to share your thoughts!
Balance Changes and Ruby Leaderboards
The update also introduces a new Ruby level to the leaderboards for the competitive players out there. There’s a fresh approach to balance changes as well. The developers have learned a lot since the first season and are now looking to create a more sustainable rhythm for adjustments. Expect larger, meaningful shifts at the start of each new season and smaller tweaks as necessary throughout.
Weapon Balancing
Balancing weapons is crucial for maintaining gameplay fairness. The Model 1887 has seen a nudge in its effectiveness, while the XP-54 has been enhanced for better range impact. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Model 1887: Increased pellet radius, decreased damage falloff.
- XP-54: Increased damage falloff distances, making it more impactful at range.
Bug Fixes and Quality of Life Improvements
As always, the update brings a host of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements, ranging from new Halloween contracts to improved UI elements. These tweaks are designed to smooth out the experience and ensure your time in the arena is as enjoyable as possible.
So, grab your controller, dive into “The Finals,” and let the Halloween festivities commence! Remember, this event runs for two weeks, so don’t miss out. It’s time to hunt for treats, spin that wheel, and show off your spooky style in the arena!
