FULL STORY
======================================================================

 The Finals has received a new patch which makes major balance changes to the 
Medium build and more. 

 Update 1.5.5 went live today (January 24) with a main focus on providing 
some much-needed balance tweaks to the Medium build, specifically by nerfing 
some of its weapons. The update has also decreased the length of 
invulnerability after a revival. 

Embark Studios noted that it's considered player feedback and explained that 
it will be overhauling the Medium build's Recon Senses ability as well, which 
is being worked on right now. 

"You can look forward to that change and more in next weeks update," the 
studio confirmed. 

Additionally, the patch has also implemented a fix to an issue that was 
causing certain GPUs to crash for players, while also updating tournament 
matchmaking in a change which will "lead to tighter player skill-gap in 
tournaments." 

On top of these technical changes, players can also find some new goodies in 
the in-game store, including the brand-new Contam Couture Set which comes 
complete with a yellow hazard suit, gas mask, and shovel charm.
