The community spotted a huge detail hidden in the new HUD from the Season 12 Prime Time footage: based on the health bar segments, Light is sitting at 175 HP and Heavy is at 325 HP! This matches the stat tweaks tested during the recent Respec Order 3.0 event. As a quick refresher, here are the major changes from that test: Light: • Health increased (150 ➡️ 175) • Slower overall movement speed (sprint, run, strafe) • Health regen delay increased (7s ➡️ 8s) Heavy: • Health decreased (350 ➡️ 325) • Faster overall movement speed (sprint, run, strafe) While nothing is 100% official until patch notes drop, this footage heavily suggests these changes are locked in for the new season. What are your thoughts on this balance shift? 👇 🖇️Source: Embark Studios | HUD & UI REWORK | THE FINALS PRIME TIME ❗Disclaimer: These graphics were designed using Canva which utilizes AI tools for things like Background Removal or Blur. #TheFinals
