Roblox's Rivals FPS experience receives Update 9, introducing the Gunblade and Bridge map. Developer Nosniy Games' patch notes highlight these additions, alongside minor skin modifications and weapon renamings. This update is smaller than recent releases, prioritizing the new content.
The Gunblade, a versatile rifle-blade hybrid, is a significant addition, ideally suited for the new Bridge map. This close-quarters combat arena, set in Seoul and created by @GreatGuyBoom, offers intense, fast-paced gameplay.
Previous updates, such as Update 7 (introducing the Energy Rifle, Pistols, and Crossbow), demonstrate the game's consistent content updates since its May launch. For more on Rivals, including active codes, click here.
