The Finals 10.4.0 Patch Notes (23rd April 2026)
The Finals 10.4.0 is a lighter week, but the Respec Order feedback window has officially closed and Embark is ready to talk about what comes next.
This week's update for The Finals is a store-focused drop rather than a sweeping balance pass, but there's something on the community side. The 10.4.0 patch is live now, and it brings the Wide Watch Kit to the in-game store, a melee-themed cosmetic set that Embark describes with the tagline "be blunt", which, look, I appreciate a studio that commits to a bit.
More, the Respec Order Event has officially wrapped. Embark has been collecting player feedback on the mechanic, and tonight at 5PM CEST they're hosting a stream on Twitch and YouTube where Design Director Matt Lowe will answer community questions sourced from r/thefinals. If you've had opinions about how Respec Order played out, that's your window. Feedback is still open on the official Discord too.
Light patch, but the Respec Order conversation could matter a lot depending on where Embark takes it. Here's everything that changed.
