The Finals 1.7.0 Patch Notes
Content And Bug Fixes
Disabled the ‘Dead Go Boom’ game show event
Dev Note: We feel this event punishes melee users too much at present, so we’re disabling it for now. We’re hoping to return it to the game, after a re-work, at some point in the future
Added a ‘play again’ button to the end-of-round sequence, allowing players in a party to quickly get into the next match
Set VoIP to be enabled by default on PC, with Push To Talk set as the default input (existing players)
Set VoIP to be enabled by default on console, with Voice Activated set as the default input (existing players)
Dev Note: we want to encourage more teamplay in matches, and enabling VoIP for all players is part of that effort. Players can disable VoIP via settings. We previously made this change in update 1.5 for new players and saw positive results!

The Finals Gameplay
In The Finals, people compete in a virtual combat game show that's shown on TV. During the game, holographic crowds can be seen, and hosts provide commentary about the teams and the game. The developers, Embark Studios, got inspiration from The Hunger Games and Gladiator (2000) for the game.
The game has different modes where 3 or 4 teams compete in a "free-for-all" style. Players pick characters based on a scale of "Light," "Medium," or "Heavy," each with different speeds and sizes. Each class has unique weapons, moves, and abilities. Light builds are fast but have low health, Medium builds are balanced, and Heavy builds are durable but less mobile.
The game encourages creative gameplay with changeable terrain, weather conditions, and time of day. Players can pick up and throw items like barrels, and some explode on impact. Buildings can be destroyed, and players can create temporary structures with the "Goo Gun" and "Goo Grenade." When players are defeated, they turn into statues, and teammates can carry and revive them. In quick-play, players can respawn as much as they want, but in Tournament mode, they have limited Respawn Coins.
