Rivals Update 6 patch notes

Rivals is an FPS Roblox experience with a focus on high-speed shootouts. With the latest update, the game has kickstarted Halloween festivities, introducing various new elements to the overall experience. While some of the newest additions are Halloween event-exclusive, others have become a core part of the title. The patch also introduces various balance adjustments and bug fixes to make the gameplay much smoother.

This article gives you a rundown of Update 6 for Roblox Rivals, introducing the newest changes and additions to the game.

Everything new in Update 6 for Rivals

Spooky Event, Candy, and new maps

With the advent of the Halloween season, the game has officially brought in festive cheer through the Spooky Event. This event adds Candy, the newest currency, to the experience to give players new items and freebies to work towards.

Candies can be obtained by completing the Halloween-specific tasks listed on the Event page. The game has a 2x Candy boost as a part of the Candy Rush every day until you reach 100 Candies, making the process much faster. This resource can be spent at the in-game Shop for Haunted Chests, Random Wraps, and more.

Another Halloween-themed addition is the new Graveyard map. Explore the spooky map, locate your opponents, and try to take them down before they inflict the same fate on you. Furthermore, several existing maps like the Arena, Shooting Range, Big Crossroads, and more have received a spooky makeover befitting the season.

The latest addition to the Rivals selection of game modes is the Double Trouble mode. This match type is a variation on the existing 2v2 duels, in that it allows you to dual-wield weapons. Watch chaos erupt as all four players attempt to take each other down, guns blazing.

Double Trouble is only available for a limited period, after which it will be retired. So, be sure to experience this unique twist on duels and see how dual-wielding impacts the overall shooting experience.

Update 6 also introduces a permanent feature: the Rematching option. Once a match ends, you can vote for a rematch with the opponent immediately up to two times. This creates a best-to-three situation where all players can finish the rounds satisfied with their respective performances.

Shop updates, Daily Shop changes, Charms, and free rewards
