Embark Studios has reintroduced the popular Bunny Bash event in their latest update, The Finals, offering players an enjoyable twist to the Power Shift mode with Miniguns, Glitch Grenades, and additional features. This event is included in update 6.3 for The Finals, which also addresses numerous bugs found in various aspects of the game like gameplay, animations, game modes, and more.

As an avid enthusiast, I’m thrilled to delve into the immersive world of “The Finals” – a captivating free-to-play first-person shooter that transports players straight into the heart of a virtual battlefield competition. Teaming up with others, we engage in high-octane combat against rival squads within stunning, interactive arenas designed for destruction.

With an array of character builds such as Light, Medium, and Heavy at our disposal, along with numerous weapons and gadgets to customize our playstyle, the battlefield is truly ours to conquer. The latest season, Season 6, made its grand debut on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam in March, and now the developers are reintroducing a beloved event that has fans buzzing with excitement!

Players have the opportunity to revisit the Bunny Bash Easter event within The Finals for a span of two weeks. This event introduces a revamped Power Shift with adjustments leading to more disorder, featuring Mesh Shields, Glitch Grenades, and Thermal Bores. The event unfolds across various locations such as SYS$Horizon, Monaco, Skyway Stadium, Kyoto, Bernal, and Las Vegas Stadium, providing unique rewards on each map. Participants can potentially acquire Punk Bunny Ears, Punk Chicken outfit components, a charm, weapon skins, a Goo Grenade skin by engaging in this event.

Besides watching any Twitch stream of creators associated with The Finals for a duration of three hours, players can obtain the Green Shoot skin for the ARN-220, CB-01 Repeater, and M134 Minigun. Furthermore, dedicated gamers might aim to reach the Ruby Tier in The Finals’ Ranked Tournament which has recently been made available. In Update 6.3, some balance changes have been implemented, such as a reduction in the power of the Sword’s secondary attack due to feedback from players who felt it was too strong. Nevertheless, the developers will keep observing the weapon to find an optimal balance.

Similar to past announcements about The Finals, Embark Studios is tackling multiple issues within the game. They’ve rectified various animation problems such as weapon reload glitches and missing animations. Gameplay adjustments have been made too, enhancing winch claw environmental kill tracking, resolving Team Deathmatch issues, and addressing a bug where ammo appeared as 0/0 after respawning. Additionally, numerous other enhancements were made to gadgets, game modes, user interface, performance, stability, and more. Players participating in the Bunny Bash event can anticipate an improved gaming experience overall.
