The Finals patch notes 5.2.0

Here are all the changes as mentioned in the official The Finals patch notes 5.2.0:

HAPPY NEW YEAR

2025 is right around the corner! We’re excited about all the plans we have for this new year, and to celebrate, we’ve added some shiny new things to the shop:

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

• SYS$Horizon Sponsored by VAIIYA
• Jultide Bernal
• Jultide Kyoto
• Jultide Monaco

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.

That covers everything you need to know about The Finals patch notes 5.2.0. As discussed, it doesn't bring in new content but addresses quite a few bugs that have bothered users for a while, especially an audio bug where a voice line was playing too frequently, which was unintentional. Moreover, two contracts have been removed as they weren't tracking they way they should have.
