Embark Studios has just released an informative patch for their popular game, The Finals. The highly anticipated update 1.5.5 aims to address the frustrating revive meta that has been dominating the game in recent weeks. In response to the overwhelming popularity of running teams equipped with defibrillators, the developers have made some crucial adjustments.
One of the most prevalent strategies in The Finals has been to have every team member carry defibrillators, enabling them to revive fallen teammates almost instantly. This strategy essentially allowed players to have infinite lives with coordinated revives, leading to an imbalanced and frustrating gameplay experience. The 1.5.5 patch notes introduce significant changes to the defibrillator mechanics to level the playing field.
