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, opting to postpone bug fixes and balance changes until the next major update, which will include the highly anticipated Ranked mode.

The Gunblade is a unique weapon combining a rifle and a blade, offering versatile combat options. The Bridge map, created by @GreatGuyBoom and set in Seoul, Korea, provides a close-quarters combat arena.

Nosniy Games assures players that all necessary bug fixes, balance adjustments, and quality-of-life improvements will be implemented before the launch of the Ranked mode in the next major update. The team actively monitors player feedback and is committed to improving the Rivals experience. Previous updates, such as Update 7, have introduced weapons like the Energy Rifle and Crossbow.
