Roblox's Rivals receives Update 9, introducing the Gunblade and Bridge map. This smaller update, focusing on new content rather than bug fixes or balance changes, adds a unique dual-purpose weapon and a fast-paced arena.
Developer Nosniy Games highlighted the Gunblade, a combination rifle and blade, perfect for surprising opponents. The new Bridge map, created by @GreatGuyBoom and set in Seoul, Korea, is a close-quarters combat arena built around a concrete structure and a bus.
The team assures players that community feedback is being considered and incorporated for the Ranked update. Previous updates, such as Update 7 (introducing the Energy Rifle, Energy Pistols, and Crossbow), demonstrate the game's commitment to regular content additions.
