THE FINALS Update 7.8 Brings Back Risk & Reward and Restocks the Store
THE FINALS update 7.8 reintroduces the VAIIYA-sponsored Risk & Reward World Tour with weapon-based cash rewards, alongside new store cosmetics and upcoming competitive details.
Update 7.8 for THE FINALS brings back an event with adjusted mechanics, fresh store bundles, and a looming competitive reveal.
Risk & Reward World Tour Returns
Sponsored by VAIIYA, the Risk & Reward event is live once again with altered mechanics. Contestants now earn varying amounts of cash for eliminations depending entirely on the specific weapon used. The update prompts players to adjust loadouts and strategies to maximize payouts based on weapon efficiency.
New Store Cosmetics and Grand Major 2025
The in-game store has been updated with several new cosmetic sets. Players can acquire the black-and-white Mandatum Nullum and Mandatum Ultimum styles, the light-and-shadow Aviatrix Prime dual pistol set, and the sculpted Marble Monarch and Marble Mobster sets. Separately, developers announced the full competitive format reveal for the Grand Major 2025, including a breakdown video, blog post, and complete rulebook.
Why this patch matters
Update 7.8 offers an event rerun with weapon-specific incentives, giving players a mechanical reason to experiment before competitive details drop.
