Rivals Update 9 Introduces the Gunblade and Bridge Map as Nosniy Prepares to Add Ranked Mode

Roblox's Rivals FPS experience receives Update 9, introducing the Gunblade and Bridge map. Developer Nosniy Games focused this update on these two additions, foregoing bug fixes and balance changes for now.

The Gunblade is a unique weapon combining a rifle and a blade, promising exciting new combat strategies. The Bridge map, created by @GreatGuyBoom and set in Seoul, Korea, is a close-quarters combat arena offering intense, fast-paced gameplay.

While this update is smaller in scope than previous ones, minor adjustments were made to the Demon Shorty and Demon Uzi skins, and some weapon names were updated (Hexxed to Vexed). The developers emphasize that bug fixes and balance changes will be addressed in the next major update, which will also include the highly anticipated Ranked mode. They assure players that community feedback is being actively considered for this upcoming Ranked implementation.

Update 9 also 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.

NEW MAP:

• The Bridge map – A Seoul, Korea-based arena created by @GreatGuyBoom.
