The Finals, the destruction-focused FPS game by Battlefield veterans, received a major update recently. The game is currently in closed beta and players are tasked with assessing first experience so the developer can work on improvements. Patch 0.3 went live a few hours ago and brought balancing changes to several weapons, abilities, and gadgets.
Pump-action GL received a much-needed buff where its max damage was increased from 80 to 84 and min damage from 30 to 45. M32 GL users won’t be happy as their favorite weapon was nerfed, with its round fuse time increased from 1.2 to 2.5 seconds. The explosion’s inner radius also saw a reduction of 0.5 meters and rounds now detonate on impact after one bounce. All the balancing adjustments are mentioned below.
