Here are THE FINALS season 2 patch notes Casual five-vs-five game mode One of the biggest additions to\u00a0THE FINALS\u00a0in season two is a\u00a0new five-vs-five game mode,\u00a0Power Shift. It's a casual game mode where two teams battle over a moving platform that travels across the map, destroying everything in its way. The platform can stop or change its direction when interrupted by the enemy team, keeping everyone on their toes. Unlike other game modes, Power Shift allows you to change contestants throughout the match. So if you're not feeling your aim on a Light class, you can always switch to the Heavy and slam enemies with a Sledgehammer. New arena, Horizon SYS$HORIZON is a new, retro-themed, glitchy arena filled with neon colors and geometric shapes. Visually, the map is completely different from what we are used to in THE FINALS, but it still has a mix of both vertical and horizontal gameplay. Hacker-themed gadgets and Specializations Season two is all about the hacker group CNS, and along with the new arena,\u00a0THE FINALS\u00a0introduces hacker-themed gadgets and specializations to the game. The\u00a0Dematerializer\u00a0is a new specialization for the Medium build that makes a temporary hole in any surface, like a wall, floor, or ceiling. It can hold up to three charges, and you can use it to create new lines of sight for fighting enemies or open escape routes for your team. Next, there are three new gadgets.\u00a0Anti-Gravity Cube\u00a0for the Heavy build lifts players and objects into the air when thrown. The\u00a0Gateway\u00a0for a Light build is a set of two portals that any player can use to travel from point A to point B. The Medium build, however, got arguably the most fun gadget in season two\u2014a\u00a0Data Reshaper. It can change any object---including other teams' defenses---into harmless props. More personal progression You could increase your\u00a0Career Level and get additional rewards in the first season of THE FINALS. In season two, the game has added Circuits\u2014a new way for you to progress and get a few more rewards throughout the season. Each Circuit is a set of contracts you have to complete to unlock rewards like weapon charms and Multibucks. There are four Circuits available in season two, two being available straight away and the rest coming to the game later in the season. New weapons In season two, every build in the game got a new weapon. The Light is getting a\u00a0burst pistol 93R, Medium is getting a\u00a0burst assault rifle FAMAS, and Heavy is getting a\u00a0slug shotgun KS-23.\u00a0 Private matches The ability to create custom matches in\u00a0THE FINALS\u00a0also arrived with season two. It's a\u00a0barebones version\u00a0of the feature, allowing six to nine people to play a game of either Quick Cahs or Bank It. But it will be developed and expanded as time goes on. Balancing changes No update is complete without balancing changes to existing weapons and gadgets. While there are quite a few of them in season two, here are some of the most important ones: When picking up throwable objects with explosive gadgets attached (aka nuke), the explosives will disarm. The explosive will start a re-arm timer only after you release the object. Nukes now also have diminishing returns on damage. The more items are on the nuke, the less damage it deals, starting at 60 percent and going all the way down to 20 percent. Toxic Gas now deals damage 0.5s after you enter the cloud and gradually ramps up from 30 health per second to 60. Dome Shield's duration is decreased from 20 to 12 seconds The Defibrilator's charge-up time and starting health are increased. Players revived by the Defibrillator will now respawn with a three-second delay. C4's minimum damage and ammo count is decreased Motion Sensor is moved to the Heavy build Sonar Grenade is moved to the Light build Tracking Dart is moved to the Light build Recon Senses are removed from the game If you want to familiarize yourself with the full list of changes in season two of THE FINALS, read the 2.0.0 patch notes on the official website. Or you can always explore as you go since the update is now live for all players.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/397ad6b7bcfd4d7bf915c3640011a567af5e9047.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1163674"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2334"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1163674"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1163674\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1164202,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1163674\/revisions\/1164202"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1160695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1163674"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1163674"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1163674"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1163674"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1163674"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1163674"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1163674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Here are THE FINALS season 2 patch notes Casual five-vs-five game mode One of the biggest additions to\u00a0THE FINALS\u00a0in season two is a\u00a0new five-vs-five game mode,\u00a0Power Shift. It's a casual game mode where two teams battle over a moving platform that travels across the map, destroying everything in its way. The platform can stop or change its direction when interrupted by the enemy team, keeping everyone on their toes. Unlike other game modes, Power Shift allows you to change contestants throughout the match. So if you're not feeling your aim on a Light class, you can always switch to the Heavy and slam enemies with a Sledgehammer. New arena, Horizon SYS$HORIZON is a new, retro-themed, glitchy arena filled with neon colors and geometric shapes. Visually, the map is completely different from what we are used to in THE FINALS, but it still has a mix of both vertical and horizontal gameplay. Hacker-themed gadgets and Specializations Season two is all about the hacker group CNS, and along with the new arena,\u00a0THE FINALS\u00a0introduces hacker-themed gadgets and specializations to the game. The\u00a0Dematerializer\u00a0is a new specialization for the Medium build that makes a temporary hole in any surface, like a wall, floor, or ceiling. It can hold up to three charges, and you can use it to create new lines of sight for fighting enemies or open escape routes for your team. Next, there are three new gadgets.\u00a0Anti-Gravity Cube\u00a0for the Heavy build lifts players and objects into the air when thrown. The\u00a0Gateway\u00a0for a Light build is a set of two portals that any player can use to travel from point A to point B. The Medium build, however, got arguably the most fun gadget in season two\u2014a\u00a0Data Reshaper. It can change any object---including other teams' defenses---into harmless props. More personal progression You could increase your\u00a0Career Level and get additional rewards in the first season of THE FINALS. In season two, the game has added Circuits\u2014a new way for you to progress and get a few more rewards throughout the season. Each Circuit is a set of contracts you have to complete to unlock rewards like weapon charms and Multibucks. There are four Circuits available in season two, two being available straight away and the rest coming to the game later in the season. New weapons In season two, every build in the game got a new weapon. The Light is getting a\u00a0burst pistol 93R, Medium is getting a\u00a0burst assault rifle FAMAS, and Heavy is getting a\u00a0slug shotgun KS-23.\u00a0 Private matches The ability to create custom matches in\u00a0THE FINALS\u00a0also arrived with season two. It's a\u00a0barebones version\u00a0of the feature, allowing six to nine people to play a game of either Quick Cahs or Bank It. But it will be developed and expanded as time goes on. Balancing changes No update is complete without balancing changes to existing weapons and gadgets. While there are quite a few of them in season two, here are some of the most important ones: When picking up throwable objects with explosive gadgets attached (aka nuke), the explosives will disarm. The explosive will start a re-arm timer only after you release the object. Nukes now also have diminishing returns on damage. The more items are on the nuke, the less damage it deals, starting at 60 percent and going all the way down to 20 percent. Toxic Gas now deals damage 0.5s after you enter the cloud and gradually ramps up from 30 health per second to 60. Dome Shield's duration is decreased from 20 to 12 seconds The Defibrilator's charge-up time and starting health are increased. Players revived by the Defibrillator will now respawn with a three-second delay. C4's minimum damage and ammo count is decreased Motion Sensor is moved to the Heavy build Sonar Grenade is moved to the Light build Tracking Dart is moved to the Light build Recon Senses are removed from the game If you want to familiarize yourself with the full list of changes in season two of THE FINALS, read the 2.0.0 patch notes on the official website. Or you can always explore as you go since the update is now live for all players.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/397ad6b7bcfd4d7bf915c3640011a567af5e9047.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1163674"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2334"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1163674"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1163674\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1164202,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1163674\/revisions\/1164202"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1160695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1163674"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1163674"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1163674"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1163674"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1163674"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1163674"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1163674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
