THE FINALS Update 4.9.0 Adjusts Model 1887 and Boosts XP

THE FINALS Update 4.9.0 modifies the Model 1887 shotgun, rolls out end-of-season XP boosts, and fixes persistent HUD and weapon bugs.

THE FINALS Update 4.9.0 arrives with weapon adjustments for the Model 1887, temporary XP multipliers for remaining Season 4 gameplay, and multiple bug fixes targeting weapons and the in-game HUD.

Model 1887 Balance Changes

The Model 1887 shotgun receives a rework aimed at precision. Its pellet count increases from eight to nine by adding a center pellet, while damage per pellet drops from 16 to 13. The pellet dispersion pattern is also updated to reduce the outer radius slightly.

Season 4 Fanfare and XP Boosts

Daily Contracts now grant 200% XP. Regular gameplay yields up to 150% bonus XP and Fans earned until the end of Season 4. Store additions include the Smashquaker, Savage Spots, and Swift Stripes cosmetic sets alongside the Eclipse Shade item.

Bug Fixes and Performance

A fix resolves an issue where the Recurve Bow and Throwing Knives could stop sending server updates, which made them appear as though they were firing when inactive. Ranked Tournaments no longer suffer from an issue where team scores failed to update immediately in the Squad Wipe HUD announcement. Customization fixes correct the SR-84 Dye Job skin, the Gaucho Bolero and Synthsprawler interaction, and a missing pink streak in the Darque Mood hairstyle. HUD optimizations aim to improve client performance.

Why this patch matters

Update 4.9.0 fine-tunes shotgun accuracy and clears out lingering visual and server-update bugs while giving players a final XP push to close out Season 4.
