THE FINALS Update 3.1.0 Nerfs Weapons and Gadgets
THE FINALS update 3.1.0 launches Season 3's first store rotation alongside damage nerfs to the LH1, Throwing Knives, and Winch Claw, plus randomization for Unranked Terminal Attack.
Season 3 of THE FINALS continues with update 3.1.0, bringing cosmetic additions, stability improvements, and targeted weapon balance changes. The patch also updates matchmaking behavior for Unranked Terminal Attack to vary round combinations.
Weapon and Gadget Nerfs
Embark Studios has tuned down several popular options across different loadouts. Sonar Grenades have a reduced range, dropping from 15 meters down to 12 meters. The LH1 weapon damage falls from 52 to 48. Throwing Knives damage decreases from 63 to 60, and the Winch Claw damage drops from 15 to 10.
Unranked Terminal Attack Changes
Unranked Terminal Attack now randomly selects starting player and objective spawn scenarios before progressing through the sequence. Because unranked matches feature fewer rounds, players rarely saw later combinations under the fixed ranked sequence. The new random starting point gives players regular access to practice all scenarios.
Store and Stability
The first store rotation of Season 3 arrives with a green color theme, featuring sets like Jaded, But Not Jaded and the Midsummer Maypole, which is free to claim for one week. The update also resolves a server crash linked to specific destruction types.
Why this patch matters
Update 3.1.0 reins in a few combat tools while giving unranked queue participants a varied scenario rotation.
