There was no update for The Finals as per usual on Wednesday thanks to Christmas day and the fact Embark personnel are deservedly taking time off to celebrate the holidays. While the team are still off and not providing anything major, they have still released The Finals update 5.2.0 patch notes. This includes an XP boost for the Arena along with a “few urgent fixes”.
So far, Season 5 has been a lot of fun. It introduced a new map, gadgets, and weapons, and update 5.1.0 celebrated Christmas in style with an event and apropos skins. If you haven’t already, make sure to grab the new Season 5 bundles that contain free Legendary and Epic weapon skins with Multibucks.
Now Embark has shared The Finals update 5.2.0 patch notes, and players can celebrate Boxing Day with some new year celebration skins plus bonus XP.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

We’re also happy to introduce a new World Tour stop: Boost Protocol! This is the final stop of the VAIIYA International, and to make it pop, our generous sponsor is offering an additional boost to XP when you party up in the Arena!
Maps:

Get in there and start racking up the XP!
Finally, we have a few urgent fixes for this update to read about below:
Content and Bug Fixes
Audio
- Fixed an issue where an experimental voice line featuring player names played far too often and only mentioned a single name (sorry, TTV.Scruy!). This feature needs some fine-tuning, but for now, you should at least not hear the same voiceline over and over again
Contracts
- Temporarily removed two contracts that were not functioning as intended
