Season 7 of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reachthefinals.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Finals<\/a> has landed, promising more mayhem, more gadgets, a deeper dive into the lore, and some truly hot new looks. Whether you&#8217;re rallying with the meticulous might of VIIYA, ready to embrace the wild energy of CNS, or still delightfully perched on the fence, The Divide is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious updates yet for this combat centered game show. It\u2019s time for the players to gear up, explore the stunning new map, master some quirky new tools, chase those shiny rewards, and maybe uncover a corporate secret or two!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the first things players might notice is a subtle but welcome evolution in the game&#8217;s signature environmental destruction. Materials like wool or structures hit by things like the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thefinals.wiki\/wiki\/KS-23\">KS-23<\/a> or Minigun now crumble more dynamically, adding layers of realism as walls erode under fire instead of just collapsing instantly. This refinement to structure collapses, making buildings and large objects like cranes fall more realistically and potentially break through multiple layers, can create fresh, immersive, and sometimes surprising strategic opportunities mid-firefight! This level of visual upgrade and interactivity, brought to you by Embark Studios, is planned to be added to more objects over time, alongside rebalanced environmental damage values for weapons across the board to make breaking props more consistent. Plus, pesky environmental explosives like gas canisters and powder kegs now detonate from any damage, not just a big hit \u2013 boom! Get ready to send wrecking balls crashing and truly burn arenas with even more style!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Grand Stage: New Map Nozomi\/Citadel!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1456\" height=\"816\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-7.webp\" alt=\"Exploring carefully curated virtual environments\" class=\"wp-image-28412\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-7.webp 1456w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-7-780x437.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-7-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1456px) 100vw, 1456px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Possibly the most visually stunning and narratively resonant feature this season, the brand new map, officially named <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thefinals.wiki\/wiki\/NOZOMI_CITADEL\">Nozomi\/Citadel<\/a> (often referred to as Nozomi Citadel, or simply The Rift map), is a true masterpiece! Not to be confused with the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thefinals.wiki\/wiki\/Kyoto\">Kyoto<\/a> 1568 map from Season 3 (that&#8217;s the one with the cool temples and bamboo!). Nozomi\/Citadel is a fresh addition to the game&#8217;s newest dynamic arenas, inspired by modern Japan, adding to the game&#8217;s collection of carefully curated virtual environments. It joins the list of beautifully rendered arenas based on real-world locations, reimagined for chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developers at Embark Studios AB describe it as two maps merged into one, it&#8217;s literally split down the middle by a massive chasm called &#8220;The Rift&#8221;, with each half representing one of the season&#8217;s dominant, clashing sponsors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thefinals.wiki\/wiki\/VAIIYA\">VIIYA<\/a>&#8216;s side (The Citadel district) is meticulous, clean, sterile, and visually reflects their commitment to order, digital security, and a zero-tolerance policy. It features brutalist architecture, sleek high-tech facilities, and tight indoor corridors, potentially favoring close-quarters combat and clean lines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thefinals.wiki\/wiki\/CNS\">CNS<\/a>&#8216;s side (The Nozomi district) is chaos incarnate \u2013 vibrant, neon-lit, overgrown in places, and unpredictable, embodying their rebellious hacker spirit. This half offers more free-flowing movement with jumpable routes among ruins and nature, and allows for creative approaches and different lines of sight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The middle ground, The Rift, is the epic battleground where these vastly different aesthetics and ideologies collide head-on. The layout offers a mix of narrow corridors on the Citadel side and more open-area skirmishes on the Nozomi side, keeping players on their toes and forcing adaptation based on which side of the chasm you&#8217;re fighting on. And yes, there are confirmed slides for stylish traversal or quick getaways \u2013 because who doesn&#8217;t love a good slide in the middle of a firefight? It&#8217;s a visually striking map that looks almost surreal depending on which side you&#8217;re on! Devs even provided a full layout map to help players join teams and establish callout sections right away! Many players already argue this could be the best map in the game so far. Plus, unlike some previous beautifully rendered arenas, this one supports ALL core game modes (Quick Cash, <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/the-finals\/boost\/world-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">World Tour<\/a>, Ranked, TDM, etc.) from day one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-info\">\n    <div class=\"blog-info-media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3-10.webp\" alt=\"The Finals Leagues Boost\" title=\"Epiccarry\">\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"blog-info-text\">\n        <p class=\"main-text\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>The Finals Leagues Boost<\/strong><\/p>\n        <p class=\"subtext\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Rank up grind and stress-free!<\/p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/the-finals\/boost\/leagues\/\" class=\"white-button\">Buy now!<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fresh Tools for Teamwork (and Trouble!): New Gadgets!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1456\" height=\"816\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-16.webp\" alt=\"Teams fight for fame in the combat centered game show\" class=\"wp-image-28404\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-16.webp 1456w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-16-780x437.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-16-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1456px) 100vw, 1456px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Each weight class gets a brand new, class-restricted gadget, promising to shake up playstyles, team dynamics, and potentially cause some delightful chaos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>Class<\/td>\n<td>Gadget Name<\/td>\n<td>Type \/ Effect<\/td>\n<td>Key Feature \/ Notes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Heavy<\/td>\n<td>Healing Emitter<\/td>\n<td>Throwable, deployable healing sphere for allies<\/td>\n<td>Synergizes with defenses; rumored eliminations<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Light<\/td>\n<td>H+ Infuser<\/td>\n<td>Shoots healing darts at allies<\/td>\n<td>Requires precision; adds Light utility<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Medium<\/td>\n<td>Breach Drill<\/td>\n<td>Drills through surfaces, creates passage<\/td>\n<td>Blinds enemies on other side; mobility via destruction<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Heavy Class<\/strong>: Introducing the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thefinals.wiki\/wiki\/Healing_Emitter\">Healing Emitter<\/a>! This is a <em>throwable<\/em>, deployable sphere that will heal all allies (and the user!) within a certain radius. It seems highly effective and can synergize terrifyingly well with existing Heavy tools like the Dome Shield or Lock Bolt, turning objective points like Cashout stations or the Power Shift platform into healing strongholds where opponents might struggle to get eliminations. There&#8217;s even a rumor circulating that it&#8217;s possible to actually get an <em>elimination<\/em> with the healing ball itself \u2013 if true, that&#8217;s some next-level chaos!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Light Class<\/strong>: Get ready for the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thefinals.wiki\/wiki\/Infuser\">H+ Infuser<\/a>! This gadget introduces a controversial but undeniably potent element: friendly-fire healing! Yes, the Light class can now provide sustain for themselves and their teammates&#8230; by shooting them with healing darts! This tool <em>only heals<\/em> allies when used on them \u2013 there&#8217;s no damage involved in the healing shots. Precision matters here, and it definitely adds a new dimension to the Light class&#8217;s potential team utility and abilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Medium Class<\/strong>: Bringing the destruction and crowd control is the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thefinals.wiki\/wiki\/Breach_Drill\">Breach Drill<\/a>! This tactical gadget can be placed on almost any surface \u2013 even trees! It drills through obstacles, creates a passage, and here&#8217;s the spicy part: it <em>blinds<\/em> enemies on the other side with a flashbang effect as it breaches. This adds mobility via destruction and offers tactical blindness, making it perfect for flushing out campers from rooms! But beware \u2013 just like a real flashbang, it can definitely blind your allies too, so careful placement and communication are absolutely key! The sound it makes is noted by some players as sounding amusingly like a boat!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The introduction of healing tools for both Light and Heavy classes has sparked significant debate within the community regarding the Medium&#8217;s traditional role as the primary support class. While the Breach Drill adds cool utility, questions have been raised about Mediums losing their unique niche, especially after previous adjustments to their own healing options. Expect ongoing discussion \u2013 and potential balancing tweaks from Embark Studios \u2013 as players explore these new dynamics in the live game. Mastering these abilities provides a significant advantage in the virtual world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Under the Hood: Balance Changes and Bug Squashing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1456\" height=\"816\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-12.webp\" alt=\"Contestants plug their signature logo in the virtual world\" class=\"wp-image-28419\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-12.webp 1456w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-12-780x437.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-12-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1456px) 100vw, 1456px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Season 7 comes packed with a wave of balance changes and crucial bug fixes aimed at refining the core gameplay and addressing frustrating issues for this first person shooter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>Carryable Type<\/td>\n<td>Old HP<\/td>\n<td>New HP<\/td>\n<td>Other Changes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Standard Carryables<\/td>\n<td>50<\/td>\n<td>15<\/td>\n<td>Detonate from any damage<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Glitch\/Goo Barrels<\/td>\n<td>75<\/td>\n<td>50<\/td>\n<td>Detonate from any damage<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Goo Puddles<\/td>\n<td>300<\/td>\n<td>240<\/td>\n<td>Size reduced (2&#215;6 to 2&#215;5 grid)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Arena Carryables<\/strong>: Their health has been significantly reduced across the board (standard: 50 HP down to 15 HP; Glitch and Goo barrels: 75 HP down to 50 HP). This makes them much easier to activate or destroy quickly mid-fight, as they now only require any damage to trigger, not a big spike! Goo puddles also saw a slight HP reduction (300 HP down to 240 HP) and a size reduction (from a 2&#215;6 grid to a 2&#215;5 grid), a bit of a nerf for the sticky stuff that could previously seal off areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>Gadget<\/td>\n<td>Change Type<\/td>\n<td>Old Value<\/td>\n<td>New Value<\/td>\n<td>Notes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Anti-Grav Cube<\/td>\n<td>Cooldown<\/td>\n<td>35s<\/td>\n<td>28s<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>APS<\/td>\n<td>Projectiles Blocked<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>APS<\/td>\n<td>Health\/Projectile<\/td>\n<td>25%<\/td>\n<td>20%<\/td>\n<td>Turret is harder to destroy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gravity Vortex<\/td>\n<td>Cooldown<\/td>\n<td>24s<\/td>\n<td>20s<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Controller QA<\/td>\n<td>Aim Assist<\/td>\n<td>N\/A<\/td>\n<td>Added<\/td>\n<td>For enemy deployables<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Flashbang<\/td>\n<td>Full Blind Cone<\/td>\n<td>Larger<\/td>\n<td>Smaller<\/td>\n<td>Less punishing when looking away<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gadgets<\/strong>: Several gadgets got tweaked. A potentially massive quality-of-life change for controller players (especially on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series) is the addition of aim assist for enemy deployables (turrets, APS, mines), making them much easier to target and destroy with a gamepad \u2013 no more fighting the aim assist away from the gadget! The Anti-Grav Cube cooldown is shorter (35s down to 28s). The APS received a notable buff \u2013 it now protects against 5 projectiles (up from 4!) and is tougher to destroy per shot taken (health consumed per blocked projectile reduced from 25% to 20%), making the turret itself harder to destroy. Flashbangs are now less punishing if you manage to look away from the blast, as the effective cone for full blinding when not looking was tightened (from a 3m radius check to a 1m radius check) \u2013 far fewer &#8220;cheap&#8221; full flashes! Gravity Vortex cooldown is shorter (24s down to 20s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1456\" height=\"816\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-19.webp\" alt=\"Intense play on Xbox Series X and PlayStation platforms\" class=\"wp-image-28409\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-19.webp 1456w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-19-780x437.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-19-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1456px) 100vw, 1456px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>Weapon<\/td>\n<td>Change Type<\/td>\n<td>Old Value<\/td>\n<td>New Value<\/td>\n<td>Effect \/ Notes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>93R<\/td>\n<td>Magazine Size<\/td>\n<td>21<\/td>\n<td>24<\/td>\n<td>More forgiving<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cerberus<\/td>\n<td>Pellet Count<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td>Full burst = 99 damage total<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>KS-23<\/td>\n<td>Env Damage<\/td>\n<td>700<\/td>\n<td>1000<\/td>\n<td>Breaks walls faster (1 less shot)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>LH1<\/td>\n<td>Damage per shot<\/td>\n<td>40<\/td>\n<td>42<\/td>\n<td>Buff after previous nerf<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Minigun<\/td>\n<td>Env Damage\/hit<\/td>\n<td>25<\/td>\n<td>30<\/td>\n<td>Full mag clears ~3 wall panels<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sledgehammer<\/td>\n<td>Primary Damage<\/td>\n<td>115<\/td>\n<td>100<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sledgehammer<\/td>\n<td>Secondary Damage<\/td>\n<td>200<\/td>\n<td>154<\/td>\n<td>Still one-shots Light; Melee backstab fix<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Weapons<\/strong>: Some weapon tweaks include: the 93R pistol gets a magazine increase (21 up to 24 rounds) to make it more forgiving; the Cerberus shotgun has its pellet count reduced (10 down to 9) with a full burst now doing 99 damage total, aiming to slightly reduce its overwhelming close-range burst potential; the KS-23 shotgun&#8217;s environmental damage is increased (700 up to 1000), making it better at breaking walls (fitting with its new Breach Drill friend!) \u2013 it can now break a wall segment in one less shot; the LH1 rifle gets a small damage increase (40 up to 42 per shot) after being previously over-nerfed; and the Heavy Minigun also received an environmental damage increase (from 25 to 30 per hit, a popular community request!), allowing a full magazine to reliably clear roughly three wall panels, reinforcing the Heavy&#8217;s demolition role. Players can pull triggers with confidence knowing these fixes are in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sledgehammer Nerf<\/strong>: Perhaps the most debated balance change is the iconic Sledgehammer nerf. Primary attack damage is down (115 down to 100), and the secondary (charged) attack damage is also reduced (200 down to 154). While the secondary attack <em>still<\/em> one-shots a Light player, some players aren&#8217;t thrilled about the damage reduction. The viability of melee weapons like the Sledgehammer and Sword in an FPS is seen by many as a cool and unique part of <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/the-finals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Finals<\/a>, and hopes are high for devs to find a balanced spot for them. Issues with sword &#8220;ghost hitting&#8221; and quick melee tactics were seen as needing change and potentially overpowered, but Embark Studios are generally good about monitoring data and potentially revisiting changes. Another related fix: you can no longer &#8220;backstab&#8221; inanimate objects \u2013 the bonus melee damage from behind now only applies to players!

This greatly softens the blow of losing rank due to others quitting and helps you compete more fairly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>World Tour Maps<\/strong>: Huge news for variety!

These changes mean climbing the Quick Play ranks to Gold should be roughly 20-25% faster! Time to advance!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Emerald Climb<\/strong>: Climbing the Emerald rank in World Tour should also be faster, estimated to be about 25% quicker overall. This is because players now receive 2 Win Points even if they lose in the first round of a tournament (previously 0), ensuring you always make some progression even if you don&#8217;t win a tournament!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>VR Economy Updates<\/strong>: To help newbies jump in and quickly catch up with gear, the cost of older gear items (those released from Seasons 1-6) has been dramatically reduced to a flat 500 VRs each! New Season 7 gear still costs 2200 VRs. Furthermore, the VRs earned during a new player&#8217;s first three rounds have been significantly boosted from 2,400 to a substantial 5,000 VRs as a welcome starter boost!

But the structure has a new twist with multiple tiers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Free Tier<\/strong>: The standard free content track, offering 26 tiers of rewards obtainable just by playing, including 375 Multibucks and the final &#8220;The Devourer&#8221; Mythic outfit at Level 96!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Premium Tier<\/strong>: The traditional paid Battle Pass track (costs 1150 Multibucks, roughly $10), offering the full set of 96 rewards plus a bonus page (10 extra items) for a total of 106 rewards. This pass also lets you earn back 1575 Multibucks as you progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Premium Plus Tier<\/strong>: This familiar tier (costs more Multibucks than Premium) instantly unlocks 20 levels (boosting players to level 21 from the start) upon purchase, letting you jump-start your progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ultimate Tier<\/strong>: This is a significant new premium tier, purchased <em>separately with real money<\/em> (around $29.99 USD), <em>not<\/em> with Multibucks. It includes everything in the Premium Pass PLUS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>10 exclusive elite items (these are often unique &#8220;dark mode&#8221; or visually distinct variants of other cosmetics, highlighted for their insane quality, VFX, and sounds).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1000 Multibucks granted upfront.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A 20-level skip (included from the Premium Plus component).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A 25% match XP boost to help you fly through the Battle Pass faster.<br>If a player buys the Premium or Premium Plus Battle Pass and later decides to purchase the Ultimate Battle Pass bundle, developers have confirmed they will receive an instant refund of 1150 Multibucks \u2013 a nice touch! Some players compare the value of the Ultimate tier to other game&#8217;s elite passes, noting the quality of the exclusive outfits you get (for a total of 116 rewards and 2575 Multibucks if fully completed!).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mythic Tier<\/strong>: A new highest rarity tier is introduced in Season 7 for the most outrageous, high-effort, and standout items in the game, sitting above Legendary. Mythic items often have unique models, elaborate VFX, or even sound effects! Some stunning Mythic skins are included this season, and surprisingly, not all are tied to the paid Ultimate tier \u2013 some, like &#8220;The Devourer&#8221; at the end of the Free track, can be found in the regular Battle Pass or potentially other methods! These are the items that help you seize everlasting fame and truly stand out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-info\">\n    <div class=\"blog-info-media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-12.webp\" alt=\"The Finals Ruby Rank Boost\" title=\"Epiccarry\">\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"blog-info-text\">\n        <p class=\"main-text\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>The Finals Ruby Rank Boost<\/strong><\/p>\n        <p class=\"subtext\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Zero stress Ruby rank!<\/p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/the-finals\/boost\/ruby-rank\/\" class=\"white-button\">Buy now!<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blast from the Past: Legacy Battle Passes Are HERE!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1456\" height=\"816\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-4.webp\" alt=\"Mastering new abilities in the first person shooter\" class=\"wp-image-28405\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-4.webp 1456w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-4-780x437.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-4-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1456px) 100vw, 1456px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A highly requested feature has finally arrived!

At the start of Season 7, every player is prompted to choose one of two sponsors \u2013 VIIYA or CNS \u2013 to support for the entire season. This choice is purely for flavor, lore, and potentially ties into future challenges, but you have to live with your choice until the season ends! It adds a cool theme to the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thefinals.wiki\/wiki\/CNS\">CNS<\/a>: They are the rebellious hacker collective, explicitly fighting to expose Multicorp&#8217;s secrets and impose their own vision for the combat centered game show. They were never invited into the arena; they <em>forced<\/em> their way in, known for hijacking broadcasts and corrupting systems in the virtual world.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thefinals.wiki\/wiki\/VAIIYA\">VIIYA<\/a>: They are the cybersecurity titan, led by CEO Salascory, presented as the virtual world&#8217;s first and last line of digital defense. They embody order, security, elite firewalls, neural implants, and zero tolerance for compromise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, Multicorp seems to be manipulating the situation, having intentionally opened the door for CNS for unknown reasons \u2013 perhaps to defeat them on their own territory? Meanwhile, previous sponsors like Engen and potential new players like Hydrok (who seems to have transformed into or been replaced by CNS) are also caught in the crossfire of this escalating corporate chaos. Which side will <em>you<\/em> choose in &#8220;The Divide&#8221;?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-info\">\n    <div class=\"blog-info-media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/the-finals-coaching-service.webp\" alt=\"The Finals Coaching Service\" title=\"Epiccarry\">\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"blog-info-text\">\n        <p class=\"main-text\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>The Finals Coaching Service<\/strong><\/p>\n        <p class=\"subtext\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Professional Boosters for your service!<\/p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/the-finals\/boost\/coaching\/\" class=\"white-button\">Buy now!<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sharpen Your Skills: The Training Range &amp; Recruit &amp; Rise Program!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/the-finals-game-season-7-the-divide-2.webp\" alt=\"Pull triggers and surprise your opponents\" class=\"wp-image-33850\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/the-finals-game-season-7-the-divide-2.webp 900w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/the-finals-game-season-7-the-divide-2-660x440.webp 660w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/the-finals-game-season-7-the-divide-2-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That mysterious door added to the Practice Range in Update 6.9 is no longer a mystery \u2013 it&#8217;s wide open and leads to the new Training Range! This area features different modes to help players practice and learn against &#8220;reactive dummy targets&#8221;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Meet the Mannequins<\/strong>: Practice solo combat against these dummies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shooting Range<\/strong>: Hone your aim with moving targets across adjustable difficulties \u2013 a decent mini-aim trainer right in the virtual world!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Boxin&#8217; Arena<\/strong>: Survive waves of bots in a contained environment. These bots can be quite tough, and in a quirky twist, they have a habit of emoting after they eliminate a player!<br>Players can access these modes solo or with friends, with stats and performance records tracked. Developers have noted this is a step towards potentially adding full bot matches and better, more guided onboarding processes for new contestants. This helps new players compete effectively.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of new players, the Recruit &amp; Rise Program (sometimes referred to as the Apprenticeship Program) is introduced to help them integrate! This system connects veteran players (Mentors, those with 20+ rounds played) with new contestants (Recruits). Mentors guide Recruits, and earning progress in the program is faster with more Recruits in your party (up to five!). As Mentors and Recruits reach milestones together, they earn exclusive rewards, including cosmetics like a unique helmet, an animated charm, a recolored skin, and a player card background. Mentors also earn multiple tiers of special Recruiter badges on their profile for successfully guiding multiple Recruits! Recruit players also become Mentors themselves after playing 20 rounds, creating a delightful cycle of guidance within The Finals. You can also join teams with your Recruits directly in the Training Range to practice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quality of Life &amp; Other Cool Stuff!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1456\" height=\"816\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-18.webp\" alt=\"The Finals game: A free to play experience\" class=\"wp-image-28415\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-18.webp 1456w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-18-780x437.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Season-6-overview-18-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1456px) 100vw, 1456px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Season 7 throws in a bunch of smaller but welcome QOL changes and extra goodies that polish the arena experience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cosmetic Randomizer (Deep Shuffle)<\/strong>: Feeling indecisive or just want to show off your collection? Players can activate this feature, officially called Deep Shuffle, to have the game automatically select a random weapon or gadget skin from their owned items before each round! It&#8217;s a fun way to see your collection in action!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sticker Placement<\/strong>: Get quirky with it! Players can now place stickers directly onto cash boxes and cashout stations in the game world. Clarification: This is an <em>automated<\/em> feature \u2013 the first player to <em>interact<\/em> with a Vault or Cashout station will automatically apply their pre-selected signature sticker to it, you don&#8217;t manually place it anywhere! This is where contestants plug their signature logo onto their conquest!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chat on Consoles<\/strong>: A much-requested feature is here! The text chat feature is now fully functional on consoles (Xbox Series X, Xbox Series, PlayStation) \u2013 a welcome addition for easier team communication! (Voice chat was already possible). It was previously added accidentally but is now a permanent addition!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Esports Tab<\/strong>: A new tab has been added to the main menu ahead of the Season 8 tournament (which will feature a $100,000 prize pool!). This allows players to easily track escalating tournaments and updates. Get ready to compete on the big stage!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Future Teasers<\/strong>: The Divide launch trailer subtly hinted at potential future content and Limited Time Modes (LTMs). Keep an eye out for a Soccer LTM (suggested by a large rolling ball teaser!) and potentially a Creature LTM (showing a Godzilla\/Hammerhead-like monster near the Heavy Hitter stadium!). A teaser for a new Game Show Event involving &#8220;Wall Hack Activated&#8221; suggests seeing players through walls might be a future mechanic! Many players are excited to see the game potentially lean more into LTMs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-info\">\n    <div class=\"blog-info-media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/the-finals-rent-a-booster-service.webp\" alt=\"The Finals Rent a Booster Service\" title=\"Epiccarry\">\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"blog-info-text\">\n        <p class=\"main-text\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>The Finals Rent a Booster Service<\/strong><\/p>\n        <p class=\"subtext\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Professional Boosters as your squadmates!<\/p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/the-finals\/boost\/rent-a-booster\/\" class=\"white-button\">Buy now!<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/the-finals-game-season-7-the-divide-3.webp\" alt=\"Fight with teammates in the newest dynamic arenas\" class=\"wp-image-33851\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/the-finals-game-season-7-the-divide-3.webp 900w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/the-finals-game-season-7-the-divide-3-660x440.webp 660w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/the-finals-game-season-7-the-divide-3-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Twitch Drops<\/strong>: Season 7 launch Twitch Drops are live, offering exclusive cosmetics like Nullifier skins, the infamous &#8220;Lemon on a Stick&#8221; charm (a fun callback to a specific streamer!), and a &#8220;Stream Supreme&#8221; item.
