The Finals, a first-person shooting game developed by Embark Studios, has recently witnessed a release of a new patch numbered 1.4.0 which drew loads of applause to the title, with players praising the patch for taking the game closer to where it should have been.
The game has been going through a roster of frequent tweaks since it released on Dec 7, 2023, in order to appease the audiences.
The Finals best patch so far: 1.4.0
When the update dropped and players were able to take their first glance at its changes, they took to social media to share their reactions to it. And those reactions were, for the most part, positive.

Commenting on a post of patch notes on Reddit, a user wrote, “Honestly I think this was a great patch,… Baby steps along the way to perfection!”
Elsewhere on the subreddit, more positive reception was shared with another user feeling excited about what the changes mean for playing as a Light character: “The slight Nerf to the RPG is massive for Light players.”
However, not every player in The Finals was thrilled, as some players feel like the patch is very much favoring the Light characters, which have already been a popular choice in the game.
One user made their own post, in which they said: “One thing we can all agree is the Light Class is broken AF, and what they did with this patch about it? They buffed the Stun Gun range from 10 to 12…”
Many players did not respond kindly to this post, however, with one user venting their frustrations with the community: “Okey can we stop this crying 24/7? Holy f.”
Changing a game’s balance will always upset some people, but it is clear that a majority of players of The Finals are happy with this patch and are excited for what is to come.
