Possibility of New Thematic Skins in The Finals

Apart from the new rank, there are indications that The Finals might also incorporate thematic skins to match the Ruby rank. When questioned about new skins, Rob responded enthusiastically showing his desire for them.

Rob said:

“Personally I would love that, but it depends on if people want more skins I guess.. TBH the Ruby skins look great if you ask me, the shader and texture work that aKiM & maTT have done is amazing…” Source: Discord

This has caused a lot of excitement among gamers, who are eager to know how these new skins will change their gaming experience. 

More Interesting Updates in Season 3

Although attention is directed to the possible Ruby rank and skins, season 3 of The Finals will introduce other new features. The new season will introduce a new map and continue offering players fast-paced gameplay. Also, in response to a long-term community request, the new season will come with a communications feature.

Rumors have also mentioned an adorable new pet that seems to be well-received. 

Community Reactions to the Recent Updates

The recent 2.8.0 patch has already introduced a few changes and fixes to the game. One of the most notable changes was a massive bonus for melee weapons.

However, even though the patch provides recent fixes and changes, it also introduced a new issue concerning the gamepad presets.

The issue causes players to equip weapons when pressing the “Interact and Equip Weapon” button, which is not intended. Players have to manually fix this issue by clearing the “Weapon Bind”  in the controller settings as it won’t be officially resolved until the next update.
