The Finals update 2.6.0 adds the 5v5 single-life Terminal Attack mode, adjusts FCAR and Stun Gun balance, and restructures ranked tournaments. Private matches now support starting with just two players.
The Finals update 2.6.0 introduces the mid-season event mode Terminal Attack alongside weapon adjustments, controller setting overhauls, and ranked tournament size reductions.
New Mode and Private Match Options
Terminal Attack is a 5v5 attack-and-defend mode featuring single lives, no health regeneration past 100 HP, and no mid-round revives across seven rounds in SYSHorizon, Monaco, and Las Vegas. Private matches require as few as two players to start, and lobby creators can kick players or opt out of participating.
Combat and Weapon Balance
The FCAR assault rifle sees its damage decreased from 25 to 22, magazine size increased to 25, and max-range fall-off multiplier adjusted to 55 percent. The Stun Gun gains increased projectile range from 12m to 16m, but stunned players can now use specializations, gadgets, aim down sights, and crouch while movement speed is reduced. The Barricade increases in size by 20 percent, while Glitch Grenades pass through Mesh and Dome shields.
Ranked Tournaments and Controller Settings
Ranked Tournaments shrink in size from 48 to 24 players and reduce duration from four rounds to three to improve matchmaking speed and skill-based matching. Controller settings receive dedicated menu tabs, alongside new gyro orientation modes, sensitivity scaling, and a flick-stick mechanic.
Why this patch matters
Update 2.6.0 alters competitive play through the introduction of Terminal Attack, streamlined ranked tournaments, and weapon tuning.
