Embark Studios has released The Finals patch 1.5.5, focusing on gadget and weapon balance changes, matchmaking fixes, and crash fixes.
The patch nerfs the popular revive strategy by reducing the invulnerability time after a revive from 1.5 seconds to 0.75 seconds.
Several weapons, including the .357 Revolver, FCAR, and Guardian Turret, have been nerfed in terms of damage output or health.
Matchmaking has been improved to ensure players are matched closer to their skill-ratings in Tournament and Ranked Tournament modes.
The developers are planning an overhaul of the Recon Senses ability for the Medium build in a future update.
