Hotfix 11.0.1 (July 10) temporarily pulled Kyoto and Las Vegas over a crash issue, leaving Monaco, Bernal, and SYS$Horizon active. A July 14 hotfix then disabled Item Progression XP in Bot matches due to exploits and reduced World Tour points earned there \u2014 16 to 12 for a tournament win, 10 to 6 for reaching the final \u2014 with further adjustments confirmed for update 11.3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-info\">\r\n    <div class=\"blog-info-media\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/the-finals-ranked-unlock-boost.webp\" alt=\"The Finals Ranked Unlock Boost\" title=\"Epiccarry\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"blog-info-text\">\r\n        <p class=\"main-text\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Buy The Finals Ranked Unlock Boost<\/strong><\/p>\r\n        <p class=\"subtext\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Leave the grind to us!<\/p>\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/the-finals\/boost\/ranked-unlock\/\" class=\"white-button\">Buy now!<\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Melee Rework: Stamina, Precision, and the New Kick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1075\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/the-finals-season-11-preview.webp\" alt=\"The Finals Season 11 Guide \u2013 New Gadgets, Medium Build Meta, Chimera XB, and Ranked Updates\" class=\"wp-image-39094\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/the-finals-season-11-preview.webp 1075w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/the-finals-season-11-preview-780x435.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/the-finals-season-11-preview-768x429.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1075px) 100vw, 1075px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Embark rebuilt the melee system around two mechanics that now underpin most attacks across the melee arsenal. <strong>Stamina<\/strong> governs whether an attack lunges \u2014 run out and you lose the lunge until Stamina regenerates, either passively or after a Precise hit. <strong>Precision<\/strong> determines damage: hit inside a swing&#8217;s &#8220;Precision zone&#8221; for full damage, or land a reduced &#8220;glancing blow&#8221; outside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Season 11 also adds an optional melee HUD, disabled by default.
