THE FINALS Update 2.2.0 Patch Notes
THE FINALS Update 2.2.0 introduces the Bunny Bash event, adjusts weapon balance for the KS-23 and FCAR, and updates casual playlists.
Update 2.2.0 arrives in THE FINALS with the limited-time Bunny Bash event, structural changes to casual game modes, and weapon balance tuning.
Events and Playlist Changes
Bunny Bash brings a limited-time spin on Power Shift to the SYS$HORIZON map with restricted loadouts and themed decorations. Bank It remains in rotation due to popular demand, while Cashout replaces unranked tournaments in casual play and is now supported in private matches for up to 12 players.
Weapon and Gadget Balance
The KS-23 shotgun receives significant handling improvements, including a higher fire rate of 73 RPM, increased projectile speed, tighter hip-fire dispersion, and higher environmental damage, though direct player damage drops to 100. The FCAR sees a slight recoil adjustment and reduced long-range damage fall-off multiplier, while the FAMAS recoil is made easier to control. The 93R fire rate increases to 260 RPM, and Glitch Traps and Glitch Grenades have their effect duration halved to five seconds.
Progression and Quality of Life
Daily quest rewards double from 500 to 1,000 XP. Battle Pass progression costs are restructured, lowering early tiers to 6,000 XP while increasing later tiers to 12,000 XP. PC display names are transitioning to Embark ID, and spawn invulnerability has been extended for freshly spawned players.
Why this patch matters
Update 2.2.0 shifts the meta for heavy and medium weapons while shaking up casual playlists to keep matchmaking fresh.
