Gunblade Unleashed in Rivals Update 9!

Roblox's Rivals FPS experience receives Update 9, introducing the Gunblade and Bridge map. Developer Nosniy Games' patch notes highlight these additions, along with minor cosmetic changes, prioritizing the new content over bug fixes or balance adjustments for this iteration.

The Gunblade, a versatile weapon combining rifle and melee capabilities, adds a new tactical dimension. The Bridge map, a close-quarters combat arena set in Seoul, Korea, and created by @GreatGuyBoom, provides a dynamic new battleground.

Update 9 features a new set of challenges replacing the Winter Spotlight, offering keys and a limited-time Bungeoppang charm as rewards for completing tasks on the Bridge map. Minor adjustments were made to the Demon Shorty and Demon Uzi skins, and some weapon names were updated (Hexxed to Vexed).

Nosniy Games clarified the omission of bug fixes and balance changes, stating these will be addressed in the upcoming major update, which will also introduce the highly anticipated Ranked mode. The developers emphasized their commitment to player feedback, assuring players that necessary improvements will be implemented before the Ranked launch.

Rivals has seen consistent updates since its May launch, including Update 7 which added the Energy Rifle, Energy Pistols, and Crossbow. For more information on Rivals, including active codes, click here. See the full Update 9 patch notes below:
