THE FINALS Mid-Season Update 7.6 Introduces Super Cashball and Melee Overhauls
THE FINALS launches update 7.6 with the new 5v5 Super Cashball mode, extensive melee weapon sweeps, and critical exploits patches.
Mid-season update 7.6 hits THE FINALS, bringing a fast-paced 5v5 sports mode, a brand-new arena, major balance passes to melee weapon hitboxes, and critical server stability fixes.
Super Cashball Mode and Arena
Contestants can queue up for Super Cashball, a 5v5 mode set in Cashball Stadium where teams fight to throw a charged Cashball into opposing goals. The mode locks loadouts to specific light, medium, and heavy archetypes. Matches are split into two five-minute halves, and stepping into the enemy penalty zone results in getting glitched.
Melee Weapon Adjustments and Hitboxes
Multiple melee weapons receive sweep adjustments to better match animations. The Sword primary attack increases damage to 88, while its secondary attack increases damage to 120 and reduces duration to 0.75 seconds with a 40-degree lunge rotation clamp. The KS-23 is converted to a hybrid hitscan-projectile weapon, functioning as hitscan up to 25 meters and as a projectile beyond that range.
Ranked and Ruleset Changes
In World Tour and Ranked Cashout modes, any vaults or cash boxes left undelivered when overtime starts will now despawn to prevent late-game double-stacking frustrations. Private matches also gain the Ranked Cashout ruleset.
Gadget and Loadout Tweaks
Defibrillator charge time increases from 0.8 seconds to 1 second to shift revival risk onto the reviving player. Healing and infuser VFX now use team colors, and bullets now pass through Nullified players.
Why this patch matters
Update 7.6 attempts to bridge the gap between niche playstyles and gunplay consistency while addressing community pain points regarding melee tech and final-round cash stacking.
