The Finals - Massive Ranked Changes. Twitch Drops & Giveaways. Patch Update 2.6
The stun effect now mostly lowers the target's movement speed, blocks them from jumping, mantling, or vaulting over obstacles, and interrupts interaction, so I know a lot of people are using it for cash-out stuff, so that's basically what it's going to be mainly used for. This makes the stun players vulnerable but gives them a fighting chance at least on one-on-one attacks, and then for the vanishing bomb, they decrease the impact of the cloaking effects, so the effective players are slightly easier to see when moving again.
This also applies to the specialization of the cloaking device for the weapon section; the fard damage decreased from 25 to 22. However, with that, they did increase the magazine size from 20 to 25, so you should still be able to get a decent amount of downs during a clip, but you will do less damage over time, so less DPS.
They also increase the falloff damage multiplier at the maximum range of 50 to 55, meaning it will do slightly more damage at that range. however in the dev note here they show that the fart is very strong in the hands of good players but harder to use for newer players so these changes should help at the higher skill levels while slightly being more forgiving to newer players that's with that extended clip size and even in the private test and when I played that private event a lot of people were still using the fcar over the Famas, that was even with the Famas being basically a laser as it did have much recoil in that private test where it did have a lot more added when it released now there was a section here for audio where they increased the priority of enemy footsteps so the occlusion will make them easier to hear and they also adjusted the loudness of the dematerializer.
And rematerialize that way, you can know when people are behind you, or at least using that against you. There's also some additional fixes for the maps as well as the characters. Now they also have a big section here for controller-gyro stuff. There's currently an issue with it where the defaults were initially wrong.
They do recommend that you restore defaults in the gyro tab before enabling it and try out those new settings. They had several fixes here for the gadgets, including the flashbang, where they fixed an issue where weak flashes could overwrite strong flashes. They also had some graphical fixes for the consoles here, where they reduced that graphical TAA, artifacts.
Again, we did see those private matches and those ranked changes. Overall, we also had some specialization, stability, and even setting changes here, where they did add the Embark portal to the system menu. Now, here's a note for the store section: They do say that players can now purchase single items within a bundle; they just mentioned a bundle, but it only applied to the new one, so I do wonder if that's a bit of an error there or at least an error on the side of the game that'll probably be fixed within the next day, or so I believe, at least changed in the patch notes or at least adjusted there again.
Now the UI has a ton of changes and polishes. There's a bunch here if you want to go over those. There are some really cool, significant ones where they even added additional contextual pings in the menu. They did a lot of polishing and refining with how pings are visualized in the game as well, where those icons are now smaller and will scale depending on the screen size and centeredness.
And then last up here for security and anti-cheap. They added a requirement to have secure boot enabled for certain players, and they added several new suspension rolls based on anomaly detection. They added a suspension roll for using Aimbot, of course, and then just overall General improvements and fixes There are two last-minute mentionables, and here we do have that twitch drop.
You only have to watch a streamer for an hour, and there's a list here of those that are included in that again. I'm not exactly sure if I'm on this list here, although I will say they do have more status here, so if you do click this, all the streamers that are in that more section will be able to give you that twitch drop.
I didn't get any emails for anything, and I don't really twitch stream, so I'm assuming not, although they do say here that some select streamers will have multi-b and battle pass codes to give out, so you can have over twitch to look for that again. Yeah, I didn't get any emails with that there, and yeah, of course, I haven't Twitch streamed in years, so I assume that's probably why, again, this Twitch drop is a charm.
I really wish they would just do a bigger one with the skin. I hope they do something for the season. Drop the Charm is really cool, but I still think that they really want to get viewers in there. They definitely need to up the game with that, so I am hoping for something like season 3 or even a big content drop that they do give out, maybe like a full-on outfit or even a mask or anything pertaining to the actual player skin.
Like that, it will get a lot more viewers in and a lot more people wanting to watch the finals overall, although for now this charm is pretty decent, and so you only have to watch for an hour as well, so you get it pretty fast, and then last up here, of course, we have Oscar doing his live stream. So this will probably be live at the same time, or at least maybe even before I get this article out.
This does start at 12:00 p. M est, 11 a. M cst, or 9:00 a. M pst again, they'll be live both on YouTube and Twitch, although if you want that twitch trap. I'd probably recommend heading over to their Twitch page overall, though it seems like people are really happy with this update. I'll probably cover more of the Reddit stuff tomorrow as well as some of the player feedback overall.
All should be covered for today's article. If you like, I would like to subscribe, and until the next one deuces.
