The Finals: New Update Includes Solo Bank It Mode, Bug Fixes, And More Anti-Cheat Measures

Developer Embark Studios surprise-launched its free-to-play FPS, The Finals, back in December – Game Informer documented everything that goes into a stealth release like this – and the game has continued to garner a strong fanbase. Now, just a little over a month since its release, Embark is set to release Update 1.5.0 and a new limited-time mode, Solo Bank It, tomorrow, January 17. 

Embark calls this mode an «experimental» one, pitting 12 single players against each other in PvP matches. The first to obtain a total of 40,000 «Cash wins» takes home the win in Solo Bank It. Similar to standard Bank It, which is already in The Finals, contestants earn Cash by collecting and depositing Coins that drop from eliminated players; Coins can also be found in vaults around the map.

Elsewhere in this update, Embark is fixing plenty of bugs and making balance changes as well. Plus, Update 1.5.0 «comes with a security update to anti-cheat and fair play» and a store update, too. 

Update 1.5.0 and Solo Bank It go live in The Finals tomorrow, January 17.
