The Finals Season 6 Mid-Season update: New content and features
New limited-time CLOSE QUARTERS EVENT features a new map
THE FINALS | The Close Quarters Event
Time to get up close and personal with our brand new limited-time event that comes with a whole new map to explore (and destroy)! Welcome to the
ALFA ACTA P.E.A.C.E. (Prototype Evaluation And Combat Experimentation)
Center! Junior McJohnson welcomes you to this high-pressure environment nestled deep in the [LOCATION REDACTED] woods.
Here, you'll be testing out fast fights in tight spaces where every move counts. Partake in a brutal Team Deathmatch where danger lurks around every corner! The P.E.A.C.E. Center is live for a limited time, so step in and leave your mark!
SPIN THE WHEEL OF TRUST
As if an invitation to The P.E.A.C.E. Center isn't reward enough, ALFA ACTA has also spun up 20 potential prizes on the Wheel of Trust! During the event, hand in Daily contracts for tickets and spin to unlock something new. If you trust your luck, you might even take home BULL'S EYE BARRY, the latest and greatest smart-dummy.
The festivities await!
Stun Gun comes back under a new name, THE NULLIFIER
The prodigal
Stun Gun returns
to the loadout screen with a brand new name and totally re-worked functionality! It's time to meet The Nullifier!
In this newly revamped version, Contestants caught in the line of fire will be nullified, unable to take or deal damage, use items, or interact for the duration for the effect. Nullified players will still be able to move freely, so there's time to make a getaway. Equip it now and start increasing the odds by nullifying the competition!
NEW TWITCH DROPS

To further celebrate, let's bring in more
Twitch Drops
! Head on over to Twitch, watch your favorite streamer, and earn the four new Drops in dazzling blue! Practical, fashionable, and including an item from our latest breakout category: Nails!
You may also remember us asking what weapons would be cool to pick for the next round of Twitch drops. Time for you to pick up those Sledgehammer, AKM, and XP-54 skins!
So make sure to nab your Broadcase Blaze items on Twitch as soon as the Drops go live! Claw your way to victory and trim down the competition.
Body Paint Category expanded
We've taken the Body Paint Category and broken it down into four parts:
Face paint - Anything that goes on the face
Body paint - Anything that goes on the body, or full body
Nails - Nail polish!
Tattoos - You can now wear tattoos beneath any paint!
This means you can now mix-and-match four different parts of your body-deco at once, many of which were previously merged into one! If you already own any of the old Body Paints, you'll find that your items have been separated into new separate items in these categories and are waiting for your next Outfit creation!
SOCIAL Improvements
It's time to grow your crew! Clubs have increased in membership so you can now
invite up to 100 Contestants
to take on the Arena together!
You'll also find multi-channel chat is active, so you can chat with your party, your team, a whole private lobby, and your club while you play!
We've also beefed up the social settings, adding chat and voice under Social, and providing options to control Background Opacity, Text Size, Turn Channel Icons off and on, and the ability to hide the Club Chat in-game.
You'll notice changes to the main menu, as well! You'll be able to see your progress for Battlepass, Career, Sponsorship, Circuits, and Contracts at a glance right alongside your Contestant! You'll also notice improved updates when returning to the screen from a match.
You'll always find some improvements to the social features you already know and love.
PRACTICE RANGE improvements
It can get lonely in the Practice Range, even with the smart dummies for company. Now you can party up and enter with
two to five friends
by your side. Goof around, test things out, and cause mayhem as a team!
The dummies have been looking increasingly nervous on the leadup to this update…
Old Las Vegas comes back into rotation
We know you've been missing old Vegas so we're putting it back into rotation! Get ready for the glitz and glam of the hot lights in Quick Cash, Terminal Attack, and Ranked Tournament as you play

New carriables
We're also introducing a new Carriable to toss around the Arena that will feel familiar to those of you who have been here a while: The Healing Canister! Toss it to provide temporary healing to an area of effect.
Throwing things at your Team has never been more rewarding!
