The exciting first-person shooter PvP experience on Roblox, Rivals, has just rolled out Update 9, bringing with it the innovative Gunblade weapon and the new Bridge map. Developer Nosniy Games has outlined these additions in the patch notes for today's update, offering a compact yet engaging set of changes to keep players entertained as they look forward to future developments. While this update may be smaller in scope compared to previous ones, it's poised to keep the community engaged and eager for more.
For fans of Rivals, the FPS gameplay and diverse arsenal of weapons are major draws, and the new Gunblade fits perfectly into this mix. This unique weapon serves as both a ranged rifle and a formidable blade, allowing players to switch between modes to catch opponents off guard in the thick of battle. The new Bridge map complements this addition by setting the stage for intense close-quarters combat. Located in Seoul and designed by creator @GreatGuyBoom, this map features a suspended, concrete environment that forces players into immediate action with minimal cover, only concrete walls and a bus to break up the space.
Notably, the patch notes for Rivals Update 9 do not include any specific bug fixes, balance changes, or quality-of-life improvements. Nosniy Games has chosen to focus solely on introducing the Bridge map and the Gunblade. However, they did make minor modifications to the skins of the Demon Shorty and Demon Uzi, along with renaming the Hexxed Flare Gun, Hexxed Candle, and Hexxed wrap to Vexed Flare Gun, Vexed Candle, and Vexed, respectively. The developers have promised that more comprehensive changes are on the horizon, particularly with the much-anticipated Ranked mode set to arrive in the next major update. They emphasized their commitment to addressing player feedback and ensuring all necessary improvements are implemented in time for the Ranked update.
Since its launch last May, Rivals has consistently delivered regular updates to its dedicated fanbase. For instance, Update 7 introduced the Energy Rifle, Energy Pistols, Crossbow, and other exciting additions.
