The Finals Update 2.5.0 Patch Notes: Everything You Need to Know
by Vignesh
Updated Apr 18, 2024
The Finals Update
Every week, Embark brings out new stuff for The Finals game. These updates make the game a lot better by fixing things that aren't fair and getting rid of pesky bugs. In the latest update, version 2.5.0, they've made gadgets stronger and added ways to catch people who cheat.
But, there's a bummer. They didn't fix this super crazy bug that lots of players have been talking about. And there's another problem that's really bad, worse than in any other game where lots of people play together. Even with those problems, this update is still pretty important for players. People have been yelling about cheaters for a long time now. So, hopefully, the new stuff they added in update 2.5.0 will help out a bunch with that.
The Finals Update 2.5.0 Patch Notes
Balance Changes
Gadgets
Data Reshaper
- Range increased from 5m to 15m
- Target FOV decreased from 25 degrees to 12 degrees
Dev note: to account for the increased range.
Stun Gun
Dev Note: We’re aware of player frustrations around being stunned by the Stun Gun and are planning some changes to get it to a better place. However, these changes require more testing before we deploy them so it will be update 2.6 before these arrive.
Specializations
Cloaking Device
- Increased the activation cost from 14.2% to 33%.
Dev Note: This does not change the maximum sustain time, but makes it drain faster when toggling it on and off too frequently. In addition to this change, we’re also investigating changes to the visibility of cloaked players, but these will not be deployed until the 2.6 update as they require more testing.
Mesh Shield
- Decreased health from 1000 to 750
Weapons
-
KS-23
- Bullet dispersion reduced when jumping, sprinting, or zoomed in, to make the weapon more accurate
Security
- AFK/Idle rule enhancements
- Added detections for software such as cheat tools and injectors, leading to suspensions
