The Finals Update 4.8.0 Patch Notes on November 20th

Update 4.8.0 for The Finals brings exciting new store items and much-needed fixes to The Arena. Get ready to rock out with the Death by Rhodents set or embrace futuristic craftsmanship with the Synthronium Forge Set. Read the full patch notes below.

The Finals Update 4.8.0 Patch Notes:

This week’s update cranks the volume to 11 with store items that bring the noise and some much-needed fixes to The Arena.

Take center stage with Death by Rhodents! Smash your foes in style with the Wrath of Rats Set, complete with a sledgehammer electric guitar that riffs on inspect, or embrace your inner fan with the Thrash Rat Bundle. Prefer a more refined edge? The Synthronium Forge Set lets you channel futuristic craftsmanship in every encounter.

On the technical side, we’ve tuned up a whole bunch of bugs and included some much needed quality of life changes with everything from fixing the interrupt steal contract not rewarding players properly, to a new accessibility option that replaces flashbang whiteouts with blackouts.

Looking ahead: Tomorrow kicks off Week 3 of the ISEUL-T Cup, alongside a brand-new community event. Stay tuned for all the details in tomorrow’s notes!

Check out this week’s store update:

And now, let’s dig into the fixes!

Content and Bug Fixes


Animation

  • Fix for rare cases where animations could get stuck in the charge and slam pose
  • Fix for animations looking wrong when quickly inspecting after throwing a carriable

Audio

  • Added a potential fix to audio issues that caused weapon sounds to loop or not make any sounds

Contracts

  • Fixed a bug with the contract for interrupting steals that would sometimes not reward players properly

Game Modes


Cashout Gamemodes

  • The flashing indication on the cashout station marker now plays for everyone, regardless of which team is stealing the cashout
  • Fix for vaults no longer spawning when two cashouts are completed in the exact same frame

Gameplay

  • Fixed the bug that turned leaking gas canisters into shields when picked up
  • Fixed an issue that caused gamemode objects (Cashboxes, Transfer stations, etc.) to “bounce” up and down in situations where they think they are out of bounds

Maps


Monaco

  • Fixed an issue near the park shed that allowed the cashbox to fall out of the gameplay space

Kyoto

  • Re-fractured wall destruction into larger chunks to reduce the amount of small-scale debris and make destruction more consistent with other maps

  • Added input hints to the settings menu

Specializations


Grapple Hook

  • Added improved targeting, to solve the recurring bug where the hook would hit invisible targets

Dash

  • Fixed an issue that allowed players to interrupt dashes by emoting, making them lunge further than intended

UI

  • Fixed an issue where explosive damage in the damage log would show the weapon that triggered the explosion instead of the explosion itself
  • Gameplay UI is hidden while in the settings menu so that it's not visible while in the Video settings
  • Made sure the Matchmaking information widget snaps to the correct location in ultra-wide resolutions
  • Added input hints to all items when equipping
  • Added the emerald rewards on the World Tour info screen
