Embark Studios releases update 2.2.0 for The Finals, adding a special variant game mode of Power Shift called Bunny Bash, balancing a variety of weapons, while also fixing many remaining bugs. Following the massive changes from the Season 2 update for The Finals, Embark has continued to release new updates on nearly a weekly basis for the online shooter.

Fans have been able to partake in a winter-themed map with snowmen littered around the battlegrounds, while in early February, a Valentine's Day event gave fans a chance to earn unique cosmetic items for completing challenges in the LTM Steal the Spotlight mode. With Easter rapidly approaching, there's a new game mode to check out with rewards to unlock.

For most players, the biggest piece to the 2.2.0 Update for The Finals is the Easter-inspired Bunny Bash event. The recently added Finals Season 2 map called SYS$HORIZON has been outfitted with massive Easter eggs and trees now have pastel colored leaves. However, players will be taking part in a special version of Power Shift with a limited loadout, while also trying to complete new contracts. Completing those will earn players new rewards, including Easter-themed cosmetic outfits, accessories, and weapon skins.
