2025-07-24 21:26:07Embark Studios has rolled out a significant mid-season update for their popular free-to-play shooter The Finals, bringing exciting new content to Season 7. The highlight of update 7.6.0 is the introduction of Super Cashball, a completely unique 5v5 game mode that challenges teams to score goals with a special Cashball.
Super Cashball offers fresh gameplay mechanics where teams can increase their score by passing the ball between teammates or charging it before shooting. The match consists of two five-minute halves with a halftime break, keeping the action fast-paced and competitive. A special Cashball Stadium arena has been designed specifically for this mode, complete with penalty zones that glitch opposing players who enter them.
Alongside the new mode, players can enjoy the Super Cashball Wheel feature sponsored by VAIIYA. By completing daily challenges, contestants earn tickets to spin the wheel for exclusive Cashball-themed prizes. Those who collect all 20 available rewards will unlock the special Zone Enforcer Set.
The update also introduces several quality-of-life improvements and balance adjustments across all three character archetypes (Light, Medium, and Heavy). Notable changes include:
- Default loadout modifications for all classes
- Significant melee weapon rebalancing (especially for Sword and Dagger)
- New rotation clamping system for Sword lunges
- KS-23 shotgun conversion to hybrid hitscan/projectile weapon
- Visual effect improvements for healing gadgets
Embark Studios has also addressed critical issues including a server crash exploit, with permanent bans issued to offenders. The developers shared detailed insights into their melee combat philosophy through a designer's note, explaining their approach to balancing extreme playstyles while maintaining fairness.
Other notable additions include voice customization options, new Twitch drops featuring 'Chuck the Ball' cosmetics, and the Lotus Reaper Set bundle containing 2400 Multibucks. The store has been refreshed with new items including the Overexposed FAMAS weapon skin.
The update is now available across all platforms (PlayStation, Xbox, and PC), offering players fresh content to enjoy as Season 7 continues. Embark Studios remains committed to regularly updating The Finals with innovative gameplay modes and continuous balance improvements based on community feedback.
