Gunblade, Bridge Map Join Rivals in Update 9
Roblox's popular first-person shooter PvP experience, Rivals, has dropped Update 9, introducing the innovative Gunblade weapon and the Bridge map.
Developer Nosniy Games outlined the additions in today's patch notes, highlighting minor adjustments while focusing on future developments. While a smaller update than some recent releases, it still offers engaging new content.
The Gunblade, a hybrid rifle and blade, is a natural fit for Rivals' combat. Its dual functionality—ranged attacks and melee strikes—adds a strategic element, particularly effective on the new Bridge map. This Seoul-based arena, created by @GreatGuyBoom, features close-quarters combat within a limited space defined by concrete walls and a bus.
The developers stated, "We value your feedback and assure you that all necessary improvements will be implemented in time for Ranked."
Since its May launch, Rivals has consistently received updates. Update 7, for instance, added the Energy Rifle, Energy Pistols, Crossbow, and more. For more on Rivals, check out our complete list of active codes here. Below are the full Update 9 patch notes.
