The Finals receives update 2.10.0, bringing weapon buffs, gadget adjustments, and preparations for the end of Season 2 alongside a new community damage event.

Weapon and Gadget Adjustments

Throwing Knives receive significant handling improvements. The delay before the first projectile spawns drops from 0.22 seconds to 0.11 seconds, and the delay between the first and second projectile drops from 0.15 seconds to 0.11 seconds. Initial projectile speed increases from 138m/s to 166m/s, and primary attack damage rises from 60 to 63. The APS turret consumes a set health amount of 40% for each projectile it destroys.

Progression and Community Events

Season 2 concludes with a community event requiring players to deal 18 billion in damage over a week, with progress trackable on the leaderboard and embark ID. Daily contract rewards increase from 1,000 XP to 10,000 XP, and in-game performance and objective XP increase by 50% to help players finish the Battlepass.

Bug Fixes and Gameplay Adjustments

The patch fixes an issue allowing healbeams and defibrillators to be used in Terminal Attack mode. Xbox voice chat issues are resolved, and Zipline anchor ping hitboxes are reduced so they do not absorb pings intended for nearby targets. The game also increases detection for devices emulating controllers while using a mouse and keyboard.

Why this patch matters

Update 2.10.0 shakes up the meta with throwing knife buffs and APS turret nerfs while showering players in boosted XP to close out the season.
