The Finals has removed its Dead Go Boom event for the time being. After a lot of negative feedback from players suggesting the event is too hard for melee combat and close encounters due to the exploding bodies that cause damage to anyone nearby, pulling the game show event seems like the best step forward.
Within the patch notes, the developer has stated that it feels as if the Dead Go Boom event "punishes melee users too much at present, so we're disabling it for now." However, this isn't the end of the event as a whole, and it's been made clear that the mode will be reworked and reintroduced into the game when ready.
