THE FINALS Update 12.3.0 adds TGM26 content

THE FINALS has received update 12.3.0 alongside preparations for The Grand Major 2026. The patch introduces esports-themed team bundles, a TGM26 Event Pass, the return of Head Hunter, and a broad set of balance adjustments and bug fixes.

The Grand Major 2026 is scheduled for Stockholm on November 27–29 and features 16 teams. Players can now take part in the in-game TGM26 Pick’em by predicting the five teams that will reach The Throne, their qualifying order, crown distribution, and answers to event-related questions. Entries open on November 12 at 11:00 CET and close on November 27 at 00:00 CET. Each player gets one submission.

TGM26 rewards, drops and gameplay changes

The in-game store now has an Esport Bundle for every team competing at TGM26. Each bundle contains an outfit, three equipment skins, a team VFX, an emote, a charm, sticker, spray, and player card.

The TGM26 Event Pass has two pages with 16 reward levels. Its listed rewards include a Legendary outfit and weapon skins. The pass is available for Multibucks for a limited period, while progress can be completed at the player’s own pace. Head Hunter has also returned as a limited-time mode: the leading eliminator on each team receives a bounty, and coins drop when that player is eliminated.

Stream Tangerine Twitch Drops are available until November 26, 2026. Watching THE FINALS streams with Drops enabled for one, two, and four hours unlocks rewards for the Dagger, CB-01 Repeater, and SA1216 respectively.

Several loadout options have changed. Dome Shield health was reduced from 600 to 400, while its health decay was lowered from 100 to 66 per second. Healing Emitter now restores up to 15 health per second rather than 20. H+ Infuser heals for 7 per shot instead of 10, but its ammunition rises from 20 to 30. Translocator now has a 0.3-second deploy time.

Burning has been revised as well: its maximum potential damage increases from 32 to 45, despite damage per tick dropping from 16 to 15. Flamethrower deals less impact damage and builds heat more slowly, while Cerberus applies more heat per pellet.

What this means if you plan to play

Players relying on shields, healing tools, or Translocator may want to revisit their usual equipment choices. The patch notably changes the durability of Dome Shield and the pace of healing. Solo Showdown players can now also earn Fans and XP for qualifying for the next round.

If you are watching streams for the campaign rewards, check that the selected channel has Drops enabled and keep the end date in mind. Bazelio lists THE FINALS — Twitch drops: 105+ rewards, skins and items; review the offer details before purchase, and see the product page for the current price.
