Gunblade Debuts, Bridge Map Joins Rivals Update 9

Roblox's Rivals FPS experience receives Update 9, introducing the Gunblade weapon and a new Bridge map.

Developer Nosniy Games' patch notes highlight these additions, alongside minor cosmetic changes. This update is smaller than recent ones, focusing primarily on new content rather than extensive bug fixes or balance adjustments.

The Gunblade, a versatile melee and ranged weapon, is a significant addition. Its dual functionality should prove advantageous, particularly on the new Bridge map. This close-quarters combat arena, created by @GreatGuyBoom and set in Seoul, offers a fast-paced, intense experience.

The developers stated their commitment to addressing community feedback and implementing necessary improvements before the Ranked mode launch.

Since its May launch, Rivals has consistently received updates. Update 7, for instance, added the Energy Rifle, Energy Pistols, and Crossbow. For more information on Rivals, including a list of active codes, click here.
