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' patch notes highlight these additions, with minor cosmetic tweaks to existing skins and weapon renamings. This update is smaller than previous ones, prioritizing the new content.

The Gunblade is a unique hybrid weapon, combining a rifle and a melee blade, adding a strategic element to gameplay, particularly on the new Bridge map. This close-quarters combat arena, located in Seoul and created by @GreatGuyBoom, offers intense, fast-paced action.

The developers acknowledge player feedback and confirm that necessary changes and improvements will be implemented before the Ranked mode launch. Previous updates, such as Update 7 (introducing the Energy Rifle, Energy Pistols, and Crossbow), demonstrate the game's commitment to regular content additions.
