The Finals 10.2.0 Patch Notes (9th April 2026)

Update 10.2.0 dropped today for The Finals, and it's a lean one. The Easter festivities are officially done, the virtual bunnies have packed up, and Embark is moving on.

The headline fix here is a server matchmaking bug that could route players outside the EU, US, and Asia to the wrong region when using automatic server selection. If you've been getting inexplicably bad ping on automatic, that's likely what was biting you. Good to see it addressed, even if it probably should have been caught sooner.

On the Store side, the Bull's Eye Barrel Set is the new drop. Barrel, the training dummy, has apparently broken free of his chains and is ready to compete. It's a cosmetic bundle, so take it or leave it. Credit where it's due to Embark for keeping the store content rolling between seasons rather than leaving the shop stale. Whether the bundle is worth your cash is a different question entirely.

Full patch notes below.

While the virtual bunnies are leaving the Arena and the Easter festivities are winding down, we’ve carved up a pretty neat Store update for you all as well as a fix for the automatic server selection. Check it out below!

THE WOODEN ORIGINAL

For he was once only created for Contestants to mindlessly train upon him, chained to his own fate, Barrel has now freed himself and is looking to hand out some splinters in the Arena. Gone are the days of standing in Barry’s shadows, this time, Barrel will rise above the competition, a plank expression and a new target on his mind.

Server Performance

• Fixed an issue that could cause players queuing from outside the EU, US and Asia to matchmake to servers from the wrong region when using “automatic” region selection

See you in the Arena! kg-card-end: html
