[QUOTE="Admin, post: 61922, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/the-finals']The Finals[/URL] developer Embark Studios has released update 1.5.5, which makes a number of significant balance changes. The balance changes for weapons and gadgets include a decrease in the length of invulnerability after revival, Embark said in a post on [URL='https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2073850/view/3996449472298594147']Steam[/URL]. The full notes can be seen below. Elsewhere, there are crash fixes and an adjustment to tournament matchmaking “that will lead to tighter player skill-gap in tournaments”. There’s also a fix to the crossplay settings “so it can be turned off successfully”. There’s some new content in the store, too. Embark added that it now recognises that the Recon Senses ability for the Medium build needs an overhaul. The developers are working on that right now, and changes should be made in next week’s update. The Finals is a free-to-play competitive first-person shooter made by former Battlefield developers. It launched with a huge concurrent player count on Steam, where it’s still going strong and wowing fans with its impressive destruction tech.
