Light right now, compared to the 2 other classes is very underpowered. The fact that I play Light and make it somewhat work has nothing to do with the fact that the class is overshadowed and underperforming. I play Light and still do good with it but I am forced into a more specific lurking playstyle and have to choose my fights.

Look at the number of Lights in ranked compared to the other 2 classes. Realistically, there is no reason to pick Light other than the fun aspect. In a lobby where players are not just on autopilot, Light does absolutely nothing.

The argument that a handful of people make Light seem playable and "fair" is anecdotal and irrelevant.

[rough herald]

light is not under power, i can still reck shit and dominate a game, the only reason light feel bad to play IS BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY!

And i can't stress this enough, DO NOT BUFF LIGHT other wise we will have the same problem but for medium this time, just nerf the heavy and we are gold

[graceful hollow]

ill tell you its a dumb idea again on day 1000

[novel lily]

fix ranked. im not even a ranked player, im bronze or summin and whenever i (rarely) play ranked, its Bronze Bronze Unranked on my team vs Silver Sliver Silver vs Gold Gold Diamond vs Full Bronze. Fix SBMM, at the moment it only seems to apply to teams and not the entire tournament.

[gleaming gust]

we need the ability to invite friends if we arent party leader, every other game allows this besides this game

[mild ruin]

Yesterday, I encountered a bug for the first time where my weapon wouldn’t fire, I couldn’t place the turret, and grenades wouldn’t throw. I had the idea to quickly go into the settings, change the firing button to another key, and then change it back. This fixed the issue. Interestingly, this bug only occurred in ranked mode; it never happened in normal modes.

[earnest sierra]

the main use of chrage n slam is to knockback enemies by a good amount but wtf is this embark?????????

[upbeat urchin]

Pleaaaase for the love of god make a reduced performance mode for the Xbox Series S, the game drops to 5 fps mid-fight after a couple of games and I have to restart my game so it works again

[timber hazel]

New limited time game mode is what keep teh casual player base coming back
Please add more 🥺

Idea for new limited time game mode

• A mode where any class can use any specialization. Light with charge or shield would be interesting to see. I’m just saying. Plus could you imagine seeing a grappling sledge charging at you? That be equally terrifying as it’s hilarious

• Solo death match similar to gun game but instead whenever you kill someone, you become that person class and has their exact load out (Not my own idea, I stole it off some guy this week. That said it sound super fun. Please make it happen)

• All melee?

• All explosive gadget and weapons only (light will have to sit this one out unfortunately ^^’) that or maybe just let him carry 4 slot of grenades.

• 5 v 1. Where that one person essentially become a raid boss with 6 time the health or whatever similar to what they have in the mobile game call brawl star

• gun game/ capture the flag / rush / death match. Classic for a reason

• A mode where everyone can use grapple. Because grapple is just that fun.

[night surge]

Lmao fix what

[twilit patrol]

gg

[rough herald]

ye good game indeed

[ancient vault]

Remove or re-work the Ariad, CNS aka. Glitch Skin, you can't fight that, it's too hard to see

[sharp snow]

BUFF THE DAMN RPG AND FIX VOICE CHAT HOLY SHITTTTTTTTTT

[ancient vault]

Bro the RPG is fine, in s1 it one shotted lights (and mediums, not sure anymore).
The damage it does is fine rn. Its all the heavy mains complaining as if their character wasnt meta enough rn.
Its like so ez to counter an rpg as a light, JUST MOVE, we got them dashes

[rough herald]

doing 90% of your hp in a blink of an eye? yep thats fine

[thick sorrel]

Fine? It's a free kill vs Light and Medium. But Stun Gun's 50/50 Chance got dumped.

It's a pain in the ass to wait until season 3 and hopefully getting viable buffs to Light and necessary nerfs to heavy.

[ancient parcel]

shrink splash radius, make heavys work for that fat dmg

[versed bridge]

A lot of these sound pretty cool but I can see a few issues with some of them

All melee is just swordfight (Sword beats every other melee weapon easily)

Everyone using grapple would be a nightmare for lights

[night surge]

no lol

[rough herald]

yeah let make rpg one shot heavy

[novel lily]

Sledgehammer solos

[vestal basin]

Asia server's diamond lobby is a nightmare, every teams are just ratting and third party to steal cashout, we had to do the same disgusting thing in order to win, not to mention the cheaters

[amber orchid]

that’s how winning works when you third party

[rough herald]

add option for gun in cloak effect to look like this

[novel lily]

Add ospuze as gear for light or medium. It gives you 50 extra health that doesnt regen (like gold hearts in Minecraft). It buffs health regen speed by 3x, movement speed by 2x, and jump height by 2x all for 10 seconds, with a 45 second cooldown. can be drank with an m1 to give effects to the player, or with m2 can be thrown at a teamate to give them the buff instead

[quick coyote]

Embark u are the best developers i never seen , u let cheaters plays & continue the game , at the same times we just loose our time , a typical progress's hard to have in 1day , lost in 10min ! thx for let them continue to play the game , i gonna play valorant with the beautifull riot anti cheat because u are not avaible to just make your work for ban the " so good players with 0 death & 20-30kills ^^" <3<3>3>3>3>3>>3>3>3>3>>3>3>3>3>3>3>3>>333

[rough herald]

add a spec that literally do nothing but give you +50hp and better regen.
you be so surprise how much that extra 50hp will do in a hit trade.
and i bet my left nut it also will be balance.

[proud eagle]

what are the devs doing about smurfs?

[rough herald]

what are the devs doing about rank?

[high bison]

Hey guys, I dont know where to write this so Ill write it here.
So whenever I launch the Finals and use the voice chat, the games audio quality just drops and I hear these weird buzzing sounds. Whenever I leave the voicechat it is normal. Or when I call on discord with someone and play the Finals at the same time, the same bug happens again. I have been having this for weeks now and it still hasnt been fixed. Id appreciate a hotfix about this.

[worn spade]

only 1k players to go down to the historic 5k simultaneously connected players, and I still don't see MnK support for consoles

[proud eagle]

how is it that i got eliminated in 2nd round and get 3 arrows down

[coral axle]

DAY 7 OF ASKING FOR FSR 3.0 AND FRAME GENERATION

[upper ruin]

OUTFIT SAVING FEATURE

[sharp herald]

game's broken today pls fix - destruction doesn't seem to be synching - nothing's blowing up properly - and there are really aggressive lag spikes that make it very difficult to do anything

[thick sorrel]

I could remember people were much more active in the game feedback. Hope you cook something good for Season 3. I'm out!

[pseudo breach]

Day 59 of asking to put map rotation on a timer for casual. Really sick of getting Horizon and or Vegas 90% of the time.

Also, can we please get South African servers and maybe a latency indicator?

Please fix the poor hit registration 🥲

[quick coyote]

make stungun useful again so people cant use abilities! its still useful for stopping cashouts but in pvp you just get the disadvantage of having to pull your main gun out while the enemy can already rpg you in the face etc

[merry arch]

170hp for light?

[oak kernel]

Can we get a shield that blocks stuff coming in vertically like an umbrella? I'm thinking like a vertical hard shield that leaves you open on all sides horizontally. You could put it on light if you think heavy has too many already.

[hard verge]

Fixing the problem where if you fall off the map you can’t get revived by your team

[rough herald]

im begging on my kee with tears in my eyes, to all that is holy and all that is dear to me. PLS EMBARK PLS NERF HEAVY

[swift laurel]

please give us the ability to finish owned battlepasses if we did not finish them in time, i dont see a problem with being able to finish it if you already paid for it, also id be more willing to spend money on battlepass if i knew id be able to finish it after the season ended

[graceful hollow]

get on the grind lil bro 🙏 😭

[willow kindle]

dosent deep rock do something similar to that

[shut badge]

Can we get FSR 3+ Frame Gen on consoles? Immortals of Aveum (another Unreal Engine 5 game) just added it, and The Finals already runs at a solid 60fps, so it meets the Frame Gen requirements

[worn spade]

only 1k players to go down to the historic 5k simultaneously connected players, and I still don't see MnK support for consoles

[magic pine]

rank is still bs go back to point climbing system that makes sense

[half fiber]

Dear Embark, please please nerf SA1216 again, I (light main) was using it today after the nerf and I managed to get 2 kills in quickcash with it!!!! I personally (and I think 107% of the comunity) would agree when I say that it should be nerfed again!!! It is completely unfair to players like me that a gun on heavy shoots honest to god bullets instead of confetti. I propose the following changes to hopefuly level the playing field (currently medium's model 1887 does more damage and quicker) so therefor SA1216 should do at max 13 damage (1 hp of dmg per pellet) after 2m in order to make the brainded gameplay of closing the distance and playing to your streghts a must for these fat clowns. Between 1m and 2m it should have 97% damage fallow for every picometer the pellet covers, in addition, if an opponent goes afk or has really special situational awareness a shotgun to the back should not be all it takes to get a kill and therefor between 0m (hugging the oponent) and 1m (basically respecting his no no square) the damage should be based on how aware the oponent is of the shotguns presense, let me explain. If a player is not aware that there is a shotgun behinde him it shall deal 0 damage in order to discourage ambush gameplay (very bad, we dont need another cringe medium camping roof meta), and if the opponent is looking directly into the eyes of a heavy pointing its shotgun at them, it should at best deal 26 (or maybe 39) damage, corresponding to about 2 (or 3) points of damage per pellet. If the angle of attack is anywhere between these two the damage should be rounded up to 0. In addition I personally (and again, this is only mine and 107% of community's ultimatum) would make it so that upon firing 6 bullets from their gun heavys need to wait for a 60s cooldown effectively making it more effective to kill themselves in order to get their gun back (I usually do it by rushing alone into full teams). So in conclusion, in order for me to buy more skins SA1216 nerf.

[twin heart]

you know its bad if joke feedback is more verbose than "actual" feedback people unironically post here

[tulip kite]

Why can people still steal a cash out as it’s falling.

[cosmic ether]

That was a really long winded way to talk about being one shotted.

[queen cloud]

everything about heavy is OP. Pretty much every gun is viable, even hammer.

Heavy's LMGs somehow out dps Mediums ARs while having more bullets.
Heavy has OP shields + 350hp + a secondary insta 140dmg button.

Embark: "Lets make the tank class do the most dps with the most health and have shield to deny 100% dmg" 10 iq game design/balancing

[dark delta]

The ranked system is broken and desperately needs fixing.
Im solo and get matched against stacked trios.
Not only that, but they are also quite often higher ranked than me and my random teammates.
Not only that but my teammates are sometimes bronze and silver while i am platinum and the enemies are diamond.
Not only that but my teammates are often actual trolls, or just dont know how the game works.
How is this still a thing and why do i lose rank when you set games up for them to be unwinnable?

I was plat 1, I just wanted to get to diamond but then its like you turned a switch and suddenly i keep getting the worst possible matchups and im now down to plat 4.

It also takes longer to match since you put extra effort into searching for the worst possible available teammates for me. Please stop.

[dense nimbus]

it has nvidia frame gen and dlss, almost no chance for them to get to work with amd imo

[velvet tusk]

petition to add back goo tech or even refine it? :)))

[upper citrus]

Heavy should not really have access to verticality like that unless it’s slow and dangerous like gravity cube

[marsh turret]

Question for the devs. Now That our pink set for the community event is maxed out and we'll be moving into new iteams / sets can we get the pick set in the outfit section? Where it shows all the battlepass skins? It just makes it easier to see what I have and if i want to equip everything at once.

Thank you 🙏

#game-announcements message

[sharp herald]

please add a stacking punishment for abandoning terminal attack cos the number of people that go off and play solo, die, then DC, is getting to be too high

[cosmic ether]

I personally can't wait for them to nerf heavy so hard it becomes Medium Plus, buff light so hard it becomes Medium Basic and for everyone to have near identical HPs and DPS and gadgets, no one dies, just sit around the powershift platform, sing kumbaya and talk about spiritual enlightenment.

[restive crow]

Players often bring 3 healing beams, 3 APS turrets, and 3 defibrillators per team, which is extremely frustrating and undermines the focus on aiming skills. Please consider restricting this setup.

[upper citrus]

Local finals player hates balance and required teamplay

[wise jolt]

people get kicked for being AFK. but ive seen controller players not getting kicked because of stick drift. they move ever so slightly and then they dont get kicked, i just had someone in my powershift match that was AFK for the entire match and he was moving very slightly

[mossy otter]

Huge plus one on this one. Heavy has already been nerfed a lot, since nuke we've come so far where a light could solo a heavy. Heavy is definitely not the meta, also - the game has different classes so that every class has it's own pros and cons, it is not just a simple FPS game - each class has to have their own pros and cons which I think is very well established.

[split whale]

I had a light in enemy team that was invisible whole game, while shooting, ressing, taking cashout etc. I reported him is that enough?

[sage sapphire]

Day 74 of asking for the ability to play the slot machines in the Casinos and hit the Jackpot
The prize is a little jingle that plays from the machine, an explosion of coins, and MAYBE an achievement?

[teal minnow]

you can upload videos at #video-player-reports

[smoky hearth]

s3 ranked should be more about individual performance and have less of a penalty for soloq players

[thick sorrel]

Easy fix, nerf 33%. No heal stack, defib only gains 100 HP, Turret HP reduction 50%

[shut badge]

Damn

[hollow breach]

Charge and Slam should make an audio cue. I don't see why it doesn't have it. It deals shit ton of damage. It used to have one but they removed it and buffed it by removing that. Now you can get two shotted by a ninja Heavy from behind a wall because you don't hear shit

[jagged cradle]

Dear Embark devs and finals players,
I love all classes and being a achievement hunter trying to level up all gadgets, I have some thoughts about a few gadgets that you all might have interesting perspectives on...

Trying to level up all tools, I found that thermal vision on the light is quite interesting... For the time that it is active - I find that it's extremely easy to focus on targets helping eliminate opponents, I am finding it very useful as I'm leveling it up however, when activated I find it is a little difficult to see shields and gas clouds, can we bump up shield visibility and gas slightly to make it viable for competitive use? Also, it's a great tool against invisible players but I think it'd be great if we could #1 bump up the visibility there too or maybe pulse the players
#2 What are your thoughts on bumping up the damage slightly from the tracking darts? - this is to make it a more viable option for competitive play- just a thought
#3 gadgets xps are a little weird across the chart, some can be progressed very fast and some are at snail's pace. The ones that are extremely slow to level up are, teleportation cube, stun gun, breach charge, APS turret(this is the slowest) and anti-gravity cube.

Light's sword strikes seem to be affecting even when my shield is up when playing as mid... This kinds makes the shields pretty useless for mediums 😭

Maybe to encourage team work, staying with teammates, signalling emeny pings should award XP points or some kind of incentive. 😁🙏

By the way, goo are making me get stuck sometimes when I jump or slide into it lately- is this intentional?

These aren't game changing suggestions but thoughts. Please give you feedbacks...

By the way for players who are experiencing frustrations against, multiple turret and shields - data reshaper for the medium are a godsend counter!!!

I love the game and playing all classes... This game rocks!

[small heart]

How am I supposed to rank up (hard stuck plat 1) if one tournament I lose in the final round and gain 3 arrows up, but the next tournament I lose in the second round and get 3 arrows down? It feels pointless and extremely confusing on how this ranked system works. Is it based on performance in the tournament as a whole? If so then why am I penalized that harshly for getting past the first round? If it’s based on individual round performance then why don’t I get down arrows for losing in the final round? Season 3 needs a much more clear ranked system.

[lime fable]

How many people play with controller, shits become a pc sweat fest which is a shame, look at the people who watch this game on twitch and then look at who is streaming, only pc which tells u the player base on console is non existent, they destroyed the casual experience and have gone down the competitive root try to make this game esports ready rather than fun. Cant play with friends as skill gap is to big we just go agaisnt opponents my team cant fight to so they just quit, now i play this game solo having said that i havent touched it in two weeks because its boring and feels the same every match

[rough herald]

Light is not under power

i can still reck shit on light, and if we buff light we will have the same heavy vs light problem but this time with medium (so we have to also buff medium)
just nerf heavy and we're gold

[fierce valve]

LTM idea Bank it adjacent style.
Cashout or Powershift but everyone drops coins and you can use those coins qt a vending machine to purchase other Contestants Gadgets.
I.e. Light kills someone, collect coins, take it to vending machine, purchase a dome shield.

One active vending gadget at a time.

[smoky ibex]

Battlepasses were always a thing of "complete it before it leaves"
If you know that theres not enough time its up to you if you even buy it...
Those who do not care can always just pay for the Battlepass Levels - 100Bucks should be enough for the complete it (if just started)

[novel lily]

Incorrect. We all know sniper is the best melee weapon

[swift laurel]

there are some games that allow you to finish bp you already own, seeing as the bp does not require you to do things restricted to the season theres no reason for it to not be made possible to complete old bp you already own, it will also make people more likely to buy bp and will be another reason to keep people playing the game and spending money on it, please if you have no feedback dont post in here this channel is for feedback if you wish to discuss go to main chat

[mellow narwhal]

rank system is based off of performance and placements, if you got 15 kills and lost in round 1 you might go down an arrow or 2, if you get in the second round but get placed third you wont lose as much points as you would of if you placed 4 and lost

[lunar vault]

Heavy charge should build up damage the further it runs (player damage) having an instant 130 is cringe

[lavish shard]

small list of nerfs seen on the discord
heavy
nerf dps lewis
nerf dmg rpg
nerf dmg charge and slam

Meduim
nerf healing
nerf defib

[coral burrow]

rebalancing of many things definitely is necessary
melee weapons are extremeley broken, (dash slash) is the meta and u win
smgs are nuts, kills heavys 350hp if u blink ur eyes ur dead
revolvers deal crazy amount of damage even without hitting headshots
definitely nerfs necessary, before this game fails before it even started, matchmaking also seems absolutely unbalanced
1fight we win to easy and everything obliterates
next match we get destroyed and can't even get 2kills

[pseudo breach]

Why is hitreg so poor in this game?

[hollow breach]

The crosshairs are not centered

[hushed aspen]

Embark, could you kindly give us the option to pick between the old health bars and the new ones?

[rough herald]

charge seems to do high damage early on then fall off to 50 or something
but the fact that it can do 130 damage leaving a light one shot is just... give the light a breackk man

[visual anvil]

CHeater coming back

[tired oasis]

Your proposition is absurd. Why in a game, would an RPG does three times less damage than a grenade? The RPG has one of the longest reload times of any gadget The user does 1.3 times more damage on themselves The best way to avoid the RPG is to stick close to it, so it will self-suicide and you'll stay alive

[drifting gorge]

Yes, and I also think that you should be pinged on the map for all teams including your own every 300 Ms for balancing purposes, because the weapon still does too much damage and we need to add some risk to using it. In order to stop the rampant use of 1 SA12 per 47 ranked games, we should also consider improving the FCAR's range and damage to compete with the close range devastator that is SA12. Fire rate should also be decreased to one shot per second because a streamer died to it and complained.

Side note: cloak is the most problematic skill in the game next to goo gun, and may need further adjustments to have people in game feedback stop crying such as but not limited to:

-cloak cannot be used more than 1 time per match

-cloak no longer activates cloak

[brittle obsidian]

Reduce the efficacy of the healing beam with the healing target is actively taking damage. Pocketing a heavy adds a ridiculous amount of survivability to a class that is already really hard to dispatch if played right.

Defib doesn't deserve I-frames. You should be actively punished for reviving out in the open.

Closing dematerialize holes should not consume charge. Its a good utility for offense and self defense, but its limited uses can make it feel highly restricting.

Increase the lock-on time of the turret, but also remove the back-and-forth scanning and increase its field of view to compensate. This will make it a lot more predictable to both use and fight against.

The LH1 is the most problematic gun in the game. There are a number of ways to go about fixing it but the main issue is it does way too much damage and is incredibly capable at all engagement ranges.

The 93r lacks purpose. It has no real niche of its own. A potential solution would be to give it a lightning fast reload speed and make it a sustain fire tool. Its not a particularly useful niche for the light class but it would at least be unique.

The XP54 is too good of an all-rounder to pass up for other guns with slightly better range and dps like the v9s and m11. I would give it a very minor nerf to rate of fire, something in the realm of 5%.

Charge and slam offers too much up front damage and shuts down pretty much all close range engagements. Instead of the damage ramping down from maximum with successive hits, it should ramp up from minimum. Reward heavies that are good at tracking their targets mid-charge.

RPG offers way too much burst damage potential as well as crowd control. The max and min damage should be made the same and lowered.

Lewis gun is the second most problematic gun in the game. It has great hip-fire, dps, and range. Rate of fire should be significantly lowered and damage slightly raised to make it more punishing at point blank while maintaining power at range.

[normal condor]

@near cosmos @pearl kiln Hello, just a suggestion here - would it be possible for you guys to update the charm fixing point/bracket so that is removed when no charm is attached as I find it ruins a few of your guys lovely cosmetics - especially so on the throwing knives skins and dagger skins. Thanks 🙂

[lethal grail]

Heavy charge should build up damage the further it runs.

[maiden magnet]

Buff light, make RPG have 2 charges but half DMG

[hushed hemlock]

Why mucho o los haxers

[willow leaf]

Because the rpg should be a destruction tool rather than a attack weapon. Do you really think the rpg is well balanced right now? Because if so you’re in the minority.

[glacial oyster]

I hope we got more body options for the female heavy, I want to be able to make my heavy to look like carlea1, who's a heavyweight 6.10ft karate champion! https://i2.paste.pics/R1YD7.png?rand=5Tth42J96k

[hard scarab]

We need a witch broom sword skin! would be awesome for a Halloween skin

[pseudo latch]

Day 73 of me begging the devs to give heavy an M134 Minigun as a Specialization.

• 200 Round magazine, ammo is restored two bullets every second, 100 seconds for a full reload.
• 20 rounds per second, eleven damage a round, 220 DPS. No headshot modifier to keep DPS from becoming insane.
• Falloff begins at 30 meters down to six damage a shot at 50, but wide spread means the weapon becomes less effective past 10 meters even against larger targets, you’re probably not getting higher than 150 DPS even as far as 10 meters.
• bullets do high damage to structures (should be breaking walls in 20-50 shots) allowing a mid-range option to output mass destruction (destroying entire walls on higher floors of buildings, ripping apart nesting sightlines)
• • significant damage to structures and players
• • gun can be pre-spooled with RMB over having an ADS (for obvious reasons, you try to aim down the sights of a water cooler)|
• • high suppressive force through sheer amount of bullets being fired
• • its a goddamn minigun
• - Heavy cannot jump or sprint while holding it, has to switch back to primary
• - lengthy equip-unequip time to balance such, no “pocket minigun” strats, choosing to use this mid-combat is a commitment, one that could get you killed.
• - gun has to spool up for a second before firing, spool up being LOUD

[stone hazel]

for real
it's so frustrating how if heavy taps a single button they do a billion damage to anyone standing two feet in front of them
it would feel more satisfying to have it build up to lethal damage and reward thoughtful use of the ability instead of reactionary use when youre out of ammo

[amber bear]

@near cosmos @pearl kiln https://youtu.be/xgosFWGB5xI?si=zTWX1uWhtRmmCxtV Is there any plan on adding a “Lock aim input method as mouse” option to the FINALS. Something in a similar fashion to how Fortnite has there’s set up. I myself, as well as a few other players I’ve seen, use an unconventional set up, moving with a joystick and aiming with a mouse. I had no problem using both simultaneously in beta but since launch I have had to remap my joystick to keys due to any ongoing fight for input control in game. I know there was an issue with a large amount of player using REWASD to get a competitive advantage over there a opponents in game, however a “Lock aim input method as mouse” option would eliminate this as it only applies to movement. I know a lot of handicap players, players with joints issues, or players with unconventional set ups who just prefer joystick movement would greatly appreciate an option like this in game. I saw a video of a player with an Azeron struggling with the same issues that I do on my GMK joystick.

[delicate marlin]

For the powershift gamemode, it would really help if there was an outline of the path of the platform. I dont know where to stand to defend against the platform because I dont know where its going.

Buff sniper. It should be able to one shot mediums with a headshot, nerf firerate slightly. The mesh shield is already a pretty powerful counter to said weapon because of a lack of DPS I dont think buffing its dmg would be too bad. Not to mention FCAR already does pretty good DPS at longish medium range. Sniper is only decent on powershift but maybe that weapon can be removed just for that gamemode

[kind light]

PLEASE give an option for SOLO Ranked queue (or maybe DUO max). Don't match me against sweaty triple squads that are playing together and grinding top-10
PLEASE make ranks difference to be at max 2-3 submedals because it is sucks to play against full D1-D2 squads while i am solo in Plat2 and playing with Plats randoms

[lapis oriole]

Trench coat⁹

[supple scroll]

allow reconnecting to a dc'd game

[latent meteor]

you can

[night cypress]

A larger bandana mask like this one from rdr2 would be a cool looking cosmetic

[acoustic storm]

Please remove the healing beam awarding progress towards the mission for "restoring health with the healing beam", when healing self damage. I had so many rounds ruined by mediums farming this....

[merry anvil]

This ranked modes need harsher penalties for players who disconnect mid game and better protection for players who have to stick it out without a teammate.

[atomic delta]

yes, i want exactly this, i have been thinking about almost the exact same thing. just imagine how terrifying it must be for a light to hear this thing spool up lmao. and then a barrage of bullets flies next to you.

[pseudo breach]

Don't think it's that. Not saying it's not centered. But fucking hell... I'll have for instance 5 games running just fine, I'm hitting every shot without a problem. Then the next game can't hit shit from 2m away. Even though I can clearly see the yellow crosshair and or particle effects.

Not to mention my kd dropping from 9-ish right down to 0.2

[ocean shore]

okay embark wtf is this @quick coyote i know but theyre DIAMOND ONE
you can see from our cash that there's a clear huge skill gap
i think it does but either way playing against players a full rank above you is ridiculous

[quick coyote]

XD it's normal to get diamonds in plat wdym?
matchmaking dont know the difference between 4 and 1 so it is what is it

[oblique kite]

Can u please add kbm support for console!

[unborn tangle]

can we like entirely remove the whole getting stuck in goo mechanic
it sucks to play against and is practically a free kill
goo should be used to block off areas or to bridge to other areas and should NOT be a free kill bc you got in it
both goo nades and the goo gun still get users sticks and already placed goo STILL gets u stuck even after they said they patched that

[fallen mirage]

Anyone else join a Quick Cash game that’s already in play and you can’t shoot or use any gadgets (PS5) It’s happened about 4 or 5 times now. Must be a recent bug

[willow leaf]

Lower rpgs damage to around 50-70 and give it two shots. Give a delay to mesh shield so you can’t open it instantly. Replace the healing beam with a healing circle that you place down like the aps. Also add healing bombs. Replace turret with a manual turret instead of a automatic one. Make it so you have to turn off cloak before you can do anything else like shooting. Replace the stun gun with a aps type gadget that stuns people like before the nerf if you’re in its circle. Make it so you can cancel a defib revive by shooting the silhouette it makes and make glitch grenades cancel it too. Allow lights to steal cash outs faster and have faster regen.

[green vigil]

Enable KBM for console players. I heard people saying it's considered a disadvantage but with this game being crossplay it would actually make it more balanced.

[lyric marten]

im speaking for probably most of the player base and the poeple that probably quit playing for this same reason, light build needs a buff badly playing as that pisses me off as thats my main and i get almost one tapped by anything including turrets that for some reason has range that shouldnt be there, the dagger for light build also should be buffed noting that you have very little health and it takes multiple swings to kill anything and most likely dead before u get a kill with it heavy should be nerfed while they have high damaging weapons and hard to kill, the suppressed pistol should get a buff range on turrets should be brought down more also punishments for leaving a ranked game should be enforced harder as every game i played the whole team left and i just sat there and couldnt do anything

[lime crane]

I've especially noticed this with sword melee in low diamond. They are wreaking havoc since the update. It makes the game interesting and adds an added dynamic to my loadouts.

DAY 7.5 OF ASKING FOR FSR 3.0 AND FRAME GENERATION

[topaz verge]

We need more military style outfits/ pieces, ski masks, vests, helmets etc. Maybe some event or something not related to spending multibucks

[tired oasis]

Yes it is balanced, because you only think as a Light player. it's the survivability of the Light which is problematic not the RPG, you have to put the APS turret on the light, the grenade launchers are just as problematic and can be spammed, the rpg was never intended to be just a tool of destruction, there's the C4 for that. RPG is an offensive gadget.

[keen siren]

Most people are dumb and don't realize that L/M/H aren't meant to be balanced in terms of offense/defense. The point of the game is to find a team combo that works for both overall and strategies for countering teams of different class combos... lol. Offense/defense/survivability/utility all in all, but people here think too narrowly and only in the context of the class they play. That's where this game is just different than other games where you can play whatever character you want but the loadout is all the same for weapons.

@sudden tangle why tf would you expect a complete fix for balance prior to season 3? Just because you're impatient doesn't mean that your suggestion would make sense.

@sudden tangle Skill issue.. get good and understand your classes utility in a game.

@sudden tangle Diamond and you still don't realize that L isn't meant to be the powerhouse of the team? C'mon dude... They're meant to be used for situational things. (i.e. easily prevent a steal with stun, flanking, sneaking up on teams, etc -- NOT just going full into team battles and killing everything -- and the people that do, just have more skill than you.) They can also save a match by being way faster to get a vault to a cashout, not sure what's hard to understand in terms of what their role is given the unique gadgets they have...? If you want to actually fight then pick M or H light 90% of the playerbase would with making a smart decision for how they want to play the game.

Not sure what you're suggesting... Give L the same health as H and keep everything else the same? You're just asking for it to be OP, not balanced.

[sudden tangle]

Anyone want to bet tomorrow's patch will do fuck all to fix the state of Light balance and competitive balance in general?

@keen siren nah yeah totally, spending all of season 2 gutting the class that already performed worst in ranked is totally understandable.

@keen siren i assure you it's not. Im a diamond light main and the only reason to play light is if you want to play the finals on hard mode.

@keen siren situational things like straight up having a more difficult time winning competitive games than H and M. Yeah very situational

@keen siren man trust me i know how the game works. Im telling you, what light can do is less than what M and especially H being supported by M can do. L is fking useless compared to H

@keen siren L needs to have lower ttk on H and M compared to the ttk H and M have on L. L needs more team utility. L needs fast HP regen than M and H. Defib needs to rez at a flat amount, not % based. To name a few no brainer fking balance changes.

And yes these changes would be OP in casual uncoordinated play. This is why L needs to have two sets of balance. One for comp, the other for casual @pearl kiln

[willow leaf]

I play all three classes and an instant 140 damage gadget is not balanced against any class and most assuredly should not be in the hands of the class with the most health. The c4 has no range so the rpg should be a ranged destruction tool. You’re in the minority thinking the rpg is fine as is.

[severe geyser]

the rpg against mediums is semi balanced, but against light is op

so you want to make goo useless got it

[brittle obsidian]

it might be hard to believe but goo was intended to be used defensively

[unborn tangle]

I want goo to be based around environmental play

• instant cover
• blocking doors/vents
• bridges to different buildings
• ways to climb the side buildings

I dont want goo to reward u w a free kill
they nerfed to shit out of stun so its only good thing is to stop the steal when it used to be a free kill bc the enemy couldnt do anything
I dont think doing the same to goo so its used in a different way and not a free kill makes it useless

[gritty umbra]

day 1000 of me asking embark to either delete light from the game and or fix their matchmaking/implement input based matchmaking. im not advocating for sbmm or easier games but holy fuck the skill gap between randoms is insane, with no real way to report or kick people or kill cams ect ect. we need quality of life overhaul and more content. i really hope season 3 delivers bc waiting for embark to drip feed content is getting old

[queen cloud]

Season 3 is probably embarks last chance to bring players back with good game balancing and ranked.
If season 3 is a flop game is officially dead

[light tinsel]

Rework recon to be like seer from apex where you can only scan in a small area. You could also give players 3 charges to ping inemies inside of the area for a short time.

[pale quest]

how about we don't add wallhack back into game

[pseudo latch]

Yeah people said that bout season 2 as well. We’ll be around when people say it about season 4 too.

Saying this shit doesn’t do anything but fuck with everyone’s morale. They’re trying harder then most devs will ever bother, give them the chance to make this work or politely leave quietly.

[quick coyote]

the best thing the devs could do is completely ignore 95% of this DC and reddit during season 3. I'm sure most of the ppl are acting in good will but god, i've seen some terrible feedback and suggestions in those two pages.

[drifting gorge]

Nah, I'd win

[unkempt hound]

is this a new tech 😮
https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1d1hxs2/has_anyone_else_noticed_this/

[gritty umbra]

regardless of if saying anything changes shit it still doesn't change the fact that criticism and input are still valid even if you don't want to hear it. everyone here wants to see the game succeed, but nobody should be happy with one class getting gutted or another getting favored. people shouldn't have to deal with people leaving games mid match, throwing, hackers, or this toxic ass community in general. if your ok replaying the same 4 maps you've been playing since beta then that's cool. if your ok with the meta being fcar flanethrowr lewi gun rpg defib double heavy or triple mead turret aps turret comp then whatever. but to act like this game doesn't have issues or that it doesn't need more content is disingenuous at best.

[queen cloud]

At release, season 2 balance wasn't that bad. They FINALLY fixed nukes which brough a lot of people back.
But then.... Light cloak nerf, stun nerf, Medium fcar nerf, medium fcar nerf again. Guess what, heavy became more broken than he already was as a consequence of the other classes getting weaker.

[light tinsel]

Its only in a small area and its not constantly active you can only use it once before a cooldown, recon could be balanced again.

[void scarab]

can we get a rework on the dagger? it's still a fcking joke that when you 'backstab' someone in the face, it deals 50..
when you do a normal left click swing, you deal 50....
a quick melee is 45... sorry but if you get stabbed in the face, you def only hit 1/3rd of a lights HP ...

I would suggest making a 'missed backstab' deal 100 damage, the left click is still more favourable then, even though i would say it needs to deal something like 75 damage per swing

[wispy sand]

Stop putting players back in the very same match they left. In any queue. We left for a reason, have to start just alt + F4ing if I even see the same map after I leave because the audacity to put me back in a match I left is beyond me, this game has a thriving player base if it can put me back in the same game then maybe the player base numbers are fictional. Or set a flag that says "Left game, don't attempt connection" <3 Thank you, love you.

[pseudo latch]

That’s a lot more reasonable feedback than “do this right or game dies”. I agree, some changes have been silly, Light has had it pretty bad this season. Medium kinda had it comin and they’re still really good, but light got dumpstered in a lot of spots they didn’t deserve to be. Fingers crossed light gets some love sooner than later, as long as it’s changes within reason. Assassin classes are very easy to break.

While I'm not a fan of getting stunned being able to use abilities while stunned is a bit too harsh of a nerf. keep stun gun as it currently is just make players unable to use abilities while stunned because heavy can just pull out shield and wait stun effect out

[mental thorn]

Hi, Embark. Would be cool to have trackpad swipes on the dual sense as bindable inputs. Swipe up down left or right. The new Gyro update is perfect BTW!

[willow leaf]

Lower rpgs damage to around 50-70 and give it two shots. Give a delay to mesh shield so you can’t open it instantly. Replace the healing beam with a healing circle that you place down like the aps. Also add healing bombs. Replace turret with a manual turret instead of a automatic one. Make it so you have to turn off cloak before you can do anything else like shooting. Replace the stun gun with a aps type gadget that stuns people like before the nerf if you’re in its circle. Make it so you can cancel a defib revive by shooting the silhouette it makes and make glitch grenades cancel it too. Allow lights to steal cash outs faster and have faster regen.

@tired oasis I never mentioned that weapon so I don’t know why you bring it up? I personally have never experienced the grenade launcher in a way that I think was unfair, but that’s not to say I’m against any changes to it. If you have some feedback to make the CL40 more balanced you should post that.

[tired oasis]

CL40 : 110 damages per grenade and you can spam hit. 👀 Two shots and bye bye light. Bonus damages if you hit the enemy with it.

I don't care about CL40, it's to illustrate the absurdity of your comments regarding the RPG. you complain about a gadget with a single ammo at 140 damages but you say nothing about the CL40 which does 110 in direct contact with Infinite ammo

[unique nimbus]

When a terminal attack hasn't even started and one team is already missing a member, match should be disbanded or leaver penalty removed for anyone to leave from 4 man team. I should not be forced to waste my time to lose a game just because a player has left the game before it even begun, likely not even receiving a penaly cause he never left, just never connected

[plush fjord]

heavies shouldnt be able to use things like ziplines and jump pads cuz of their weight (the special triangular jump pads are an exception, the ones that transport u from one building to another over an endless chasm). if they try using a zipline, it'll just break and the heavy fall down, ike not so less. i mean they can inc their speed a bit. im sayin that it would make sense cuz of their weight. maybe they should introduce heavy duty ziplines that heavies CAN use, and transports u faster, including every other build @void scarab @queen cloud

[severe wave]

Make your matchmaking stricter

[void scarab]

how little movement do you want heavies to have?
they're already a brick wall

[queen cloud]

Great suggestion 🤣 .

[cursive plank]

A randomized option for skins, stickers and charms. You select it and whenever you start a match you have a randomized version of the weapon you are holding.

[mossy karma]

current ranked is a fckin joke spawn points are broken and its not about skill at all 3 to 4 teams fighting for a cashout all the time
low gravity is also a joke
jumpad cd is a joke maybe just remove melee weapons from game

[civic thistle]

it is a joke. everytime i win tournament it wont pass me to the next rank even tho i have 3 arrows up

[willow leaf]

Again I have never experienced the grenade launcher in a bad way so I don’t know how I’m supposed to critique it. Also I don’t think comparing the CL40 and the rpg is valid. You said it yourself the rpg is a gadget while the CL40 is your main weapon. You can’t use the CL40 and then pull out another gun on top of that but you can with the rpg. I think there are drawbacks to choosing a grenade launcher as your only weapon but none for having a rpg for a secondary weapon.

2 teams of 5
2 cashout stations, 1 cashout for each team.
No vaults

Players drop coins when they die,you can take those coins and bring to your team's cashout station, enemies can steal part of the money of the other team's cashout station and deposit it on their on.

When a Gadget (RPG, 140 DMG) is way better than your Main weapon, you always start a fight with free no skill instant damage. When you have a Main weapon which comes close to RPG like CL-40 with 110 DMG it's just wrong.

[amber bear]

@pearl kiln @near cosmos @rare spear Is there any plan on adding a “Lock aim input method as mouse” option to the FINALS. Something in a similar fashion to how Fortnite has there’s set up. I myself, as well as a few other players I’ve seen, use an unconventional set up, moving with a joystick and aiming with a mouse. I had no problem using both simultaneously in beta but since launch I have had to remap my joystick to keys due to any ongoing fight for input control in game. I know there was an issue with a large amount of player using REWASD to get a competitive advantage over there a opponents in game, however a “Lock aim input method as mouse” option would eliminate this as it only applies to movement. I know a lot of handicap players, players with joints issues, or players with unconventional set ups who just prefer joystick movement would greatly appreciate an option like this in game. I saw a video of a player with an Azeron struggling with the same issues that I do on my GMK joystick.

[opaque glade]

I believe I found an exploit/bug that must be patched: if you die after you shoot a tracking dart but before it can hit the enemy it will track them forever. Pls be warned that the enemy will have no idea they are “detected” and neither will YOU if you fall victim to it.
What happens is if you die your gadgets will and should disappear when planted. However when you are killed they will not disappear in the air as tested with the RPG, grenades, mines, etc. AND it works the same with the tracking dart as well.

[rigid shale]

Krill Issue
@willow leaf It's "One in a Krillion"

[willow leaf]

One in a krillion

(First try)

[terse lark]

c4 and especially breach charge feel really weak. the whole point of these gadgets is to open up walls and floors. c4 is overshadowed by rpg and charge n slam as they are able to do the same thing but are better since they are more versatile. the breach charge is even worse, it doesn't provide enough utility to be worth bringing to fights compared to other gadgets. I want to use breach charge. it's just that other gadgets like frag nade, gateway, glitch nade, vanish bomb, and even gas/pyro nades just feel so much more useful. If c4 got 2 charges back and breach charge got 2 charges as well to allow them to be used the way they were made to, cause destruction.
if the player damage and cooldown get get slight nerfs to accommodate the c4 and breach charge getting 2 charges I'd be perfectly happy with that change. I just want them to be useful and to blow up cash outs and level buildings

[azure gulch]

I don't think it needs to be removed, but it should def count if your teammate steals it. This is a team game afterall, whats with the individual challenges ?

[torpid pine]

Well using that logic…then we could also remove any contract item that had anything to do with the light build. Using that build doesn’t need to be encouraged anyhow. Too many light builds who can’t get kills and rage quit 30 seconds into the game, in ranked.

New gameshow events

I have some ideas than could be good

Event 1 (I don't know how to name this)

When a contestant is eliminated it explodes but instead of doing damage to everyone in the radius of 3m it heals them the 33% of his hp, heal amount is 15% for contestants that use melee weapons

Event 2

Some or all of the gadgets of the contestants are replaced with random gadgets that even could be from other classes until the gameshow event ends, this could be only for quick matches because its just for fun, in a ranked game it would be unfair

Event 3

Every canister can be used an infinite amount of times until the gameshow event ends

If a team is close to making a come back have the crowd hype them up .

Have the crowd in unison chant “pop! Pour ! Perform !!!

It’s probably not even a skill issue and more of a team/coordination issue. You are getting put against highly coordinated diamond teams who use coms and callouts. As a result you get crushed as a solo player. It’s my single biggest gripe with the game and probably the biggest reason this game is dying too. TLDR if you have a crap team the game is an absolutely horrible experience

[civic thistle]

yes u were right, not to long ago i hit diamond bc i played with ppl i knew and gave eachother good callouts unlike the randoms that dont even talk or ping

do you think the quick cash would be better if you had too stand on the capture point too get it instead of it just ticking down the clock, the optimal strategy rn is too just hide off point and shoot down at it whenever someone tries too grab it,

Feels like its run by ubisoft tbh.

[alpine rune]

This game makes me want to rip my head off. I love it!

[thorny pilot]

It's 100% fake. You have a hidden MMR, which is what actually decides your opponents, and you have your rank, which simply exists to get you to grind mindlessly to try and hit diamond. So if you're actually very skilled, you need to put in top .001% work just to rank up beyond platinum 4. An actually competent ranking system wouldn't ever place you against players more than 1 rank bracket away from you. But no, you lost in second round against two full teams of diamond 1s, you deserve to get 3 arrows down as a platinum 1 because engagement.

Some ideas;

Cosmetic wise (outfit;)

• Steampunk (definitely add the steampunk goggles)
• Nerdy,
• Outgoing (party) > more skin showing, different types of make-up
• Gothic,
• Historical; Victorian England, Ancient Egypt, Aztec/Incan/Mayan
  to name a few...

We have access to a lot of stickers, however in my opinion it could be implemented in a better way.
The stickers right now have a fixed position and you are allowed to only put on sticker on (which is sad.)
I'd suggest taking a look at the game (I know it died by now) APB Reloaded, where everything was so customizable, take inspiration from that model.

To make characters really unique it would be awesome to see that we can fully customize the face (with sliders) instead of generic presets.
Make it so we could also change the nose-, mouth-, eyebrow type.
If that would be too hard to implement in the current state of the game, maybe you could add more face presets as it is quite lackluster atm.

Great that you guys added a new barrel type, that's awesome! Don't know if it's because you guys saw my previous feedback or not, but nice addition!
Please expand more on barrel types.
For example;

• Time Dilation Barrel; Creates a field where time slows down for enemies that are been hit, affecting their movement and actions.
• Time Reversal Barrel; Upon explosion, this barrel rewinds time in a small area, causing recent actions to reverse.
  People hit from the explosion will walk backwards to the location they came from and health will be restored.
  If the person just died but within a few seconds got hit by that explosion they will get back up (revived.)
• Healing Barrel; Instead of damaging, it releases a healing mist that restores health to anyone within its radius.

Would love a gadget for all classes that it a little pea shooter (great skin idea too) something like a 1 shot Derringer break action that does 20 damage.

Use it for those times when you get the player down to a sliver of health.

i think it because of the uneven terrain and dose god damn kee high fences

This game needs to STOP putting dumbasses who threw the game from the last game to the same party as me when I blocked them or add an avoid option. Me and another guy lost 2 games in a row because the random who equips the heal beam doesnt actually uses it, even when Im literally in their face

as a medium main, really wondering when heavy is gonna take some hits so i don't feel like my only viable game option is camp heal beam, corners and defib, some downright atrocious avg ttk's with all the nerfs our guns have taken and now i dont feel like turret aps is a viable alternative, would like to see something good come mediums way so it feels viable and like i have options

my shift key randomly don't work mid match and i tested it more then i want to say, it is not my keyboard
same story with mouse left button and this one time with score board

@terse slate useless my ass, aps usually eat 3 projectail form place to distory anyways
making it this way will let cl-40, throwing knife, MGL32 play the game

also can you people stop saying shit is useless now when really it just a minor nerf/ need playstyle change ect

@wispy root not remove, just adding counter play. people won't use it for a whlie because their dumb think a minor nerf kill the whole thing so thats a blessing for now

[queen cloud]

Bro, what a joke of a patch again.
Like why nerf aps?!

It was the only counter to no skill explosive spam/goo. The range was small enough for it to be balanced already.
I guess the devs really love no skill dumb gameplay. CL40, rpg, flametrower, heavy etc. No need to have good mechanics, or shoot your gun. Just dumb spam abilities

Stop with multiple patch download for event. Do ONE big download then just activate each event with delay in your server like Fortnite.
My friends playing on his phone internet connection, so he can't download Gigabit of patch I have to download it for him then transfer with USB when we meet.
But I can't do it each week.

Just do a Big download for the season.

Thanks.

Hello, I am a big fan of the game; Since the days of the beta, I have always wondered why some maps, for example: Monaco, have huge objects in the air, such as ducks, etc.... My suggestion is, “Why don’t these objects fall to the ground and cause damage to the buildings or the player?” I literally don't know why it exists, so it must be used in the correct and enjoyable way for the player: Keep up your amazing work in the game. Thank you.

Throwing Knives is okay. Maybe they are on par now.
APS Turret was a bit hard. Its literally useless now if I compare it to simple goo grenade now.
Wondering that Lewis Gun has not been touched and also that Sword-Emote-Exploit is still a topic.

There's a bug where you are unable to track your contracts in the master circuit, not sure about the other circuits tho since i've completed them. Seem to be able to track daily contracts fine tho.

[lime lichen]

Stun is fine, lights don't need the crutch back, the easiest way to buff light is to nerf the rpg since it basically one shots them. Nerf that and it will basically be a buff to light.

[cyan nova]

sniper one shots on lights is crazy

[dull elm]

Maybe a good sniper change:

Give the gun a decent amount of sway when scoping and buff reload speeds (or a diff buff for close combat)

This makes the gun more of a quick scope weapon and lowers the amount of hard-scopers

[unique wasp]

APS nerf feels like overkill, and in general it feels like there's been considerably more emphasis on nerfing or bricking strong options than introducing or strengthening counterplay.

I've definitely said this plenty but strategizing around item and map interactions is a big part of what drew me into the game in the first place, and it feels like that aspect of the game has been nothing but diminished over time. Something like combining teleporter and charge n' slam to beat a heavily fortified APS-ridden platform is super cool, and if this is what we had launched with coming up with a cool strategy like that wouldn't have been necessary because you could just like, throw more explosives.

I'd really like to see more fun rock paper scissors-y stuff and interesting interactions that ask you to consider your options and come up with a solution. Shooting is all well and good, but it's not what makes this game unique, you know?

[random terrace]

voice chat doesnt mute when tabbing away from the game when the rest of the game does on PC

[broken musk]

Be a bit more forgiving on cancelling hold actions for camera angle change. I think last update you didn't get interrupted while trying to look around, now it feels a little more restricted... Maybe it's the way things should be but consider giving us a bit more angles to look anywhere a head could naturally turn (so cancel only when trying to look back)

[terse slate]

Guys, how do i report an issue with the game? I've noticed since the new update whenever I mantle and immediately start to throw a knife using the secondary attack (the charge up throw) it simply will not throw it, and I can't attack, I thought it was a one off but I has happens 7/8 times now?

[cloud dune]

please reconsider the APS nerf, it was the only true counter play to the current most frustrating play style: the goo sledge

[ashen peak]

APS nerf needs more clarity, people are so confused with the 40% lol

Is it a penalty of 40% of current health (will do 10 projectiles before destroying itself)
is it a penalty of 40% of max health (eg if max health is 100 then it'd only do 3 projectiles)
is it a penalty of actualy 40 HP
...

[earnest badge]

Why the APS nerf? Are people seriously not capable of destroying them and THEN using grenades? Dude that's a weak move. Please put it back for those of use who can actually just problem solve and sort it out. That's half the point and fun of the game right? To figure out how to counter different elements. Guys plz wtf.

@white osprey yeah but so does glitch and we just added barrels for that..

[primal folio]

tracked contracts just broke i have to think about numbers now

[quick coyote]

Congratulations, whether you did it on purpose or not, it doesn't matter, nerf APS is very 'cool' you have turned the Power Shift mode, literally into a circus.

Why? Because the only problem that bothered the players was Snipers, everyone got used to it and learned how to counter, although this is not an easy task, since you gave a sniper to a mobile class, which is very difficult to catch up with. But now you've messed up APS, which was the only escape from Grenade Launchers, which allowed you to live at least a little on the platform, constantly running so as not to get hit by a sniper, but now this is not salvation, since we have a new cool position in the team in the heavy with a grenade launcher or medium with it, now you throw the APS in the trash because it is instantly demolished and, in principle, you can not enter the platform, since the same grenade throwers will annihilate you.

You have turned the command mode to hold the platform into a regular DM, where the platform cannot be moved from the center, only in rare exceptions, thank you.

[gusty wagon]

well said mac

This animation Bug been in the game for 6 months now. When i turn off Mesh Shield and Instantly Swing Hammer, THERE IS NO ANIMATION OF THE SWING. I cant see if im actually hitting or not, and keep dying cuz of it

[fathom mesa]

(sry if english bad): Since throwing knifes is skill based, why make it stronger? its still hard to use but those who knows how to will just be more op. aps nerf is weird, it was not hard to destroy so i dont really understand. I guess we will see if it makes the game more balanced but i dont think so
EDIT: i tried knifes and this is the most op thing i ever saw on this game actual no joke

[opal heron]

Bro the throwing knives are so broken j used em😭 they buffed the hell out of it

[vocal socket]

I was thinking to myself in powershift "man what would i do without the aps, it literally makes or breaks this game mode, so much i have to run it because its the only thing that can counter the grenade launcher spam" and then they nerf it to the ground when it really wasn't an issue, i used the grenade launcher myself and even i didn't hate them because i could just get a teammate to break one with a sniper, or shoot around the edges. One of the worst changes they could've made.

[latent charm]

It could be a good option to add an MVP identifier for each team at the end of the game. With the intention of encouraging the player. The sum of the points related to Combat, Support and Objectives would determine which member of the team played the best.

In the end, a good player has to serve in everything, not just kills. And this same system could be carried over to the Competitive, where the MVP of a losing team disqualified from the tournament is not penalized with a demotion, also to compensate for players who really try hard but are paired with bad players.

What do you think? Good idea?

[flint jungle]

"APS

New feature: The APS turret now consumes a set amount of health for each projectile it destroys

The health cost per destroyed projectile is 40%"

Congratulations, you have made one of the best gadgets for team play useless.

If the idea is to benefit individual play rather than team play it is a good change

[tender minnow]

seconded

[night rover]

i mean you can already see your scores at the end

[delicate notch]

I think 20% would have been enough already, 40% is too much.

[rain gust]

What just happened in this update?

Throwing Knives is busted and overtuned. It overthrows Sword and M11 as the superior close-ranged light weapon by a large and overall brutal margin. People go 17-1. 15-1, drop 20 bombs on their first Throwing Knives games. It can two-shot you rapidly as a medium, which was what happened to me in not even 5 minutes of Quickplay.

The APS nerf is a staple of you guys listening to the casual community once more. Yes, it was very strong in Power Shift, but now, there's no point in running it in high elo in ranked or even competitive in general. You can't simply hold down spots to defend a cashout and continuously play a certain spot, protecting from projectile spam. Of an already stale meta, only double mobility willl ever be used in the hands of a good or experienced player. APS + mobility and double mobility used to be the two to be run in ranked tournaments for a medium, not just one.

Disappointing update. I'm seeing an inability to balance out other aspects of the gameplay as well, not just the overly strong Heavy that has been on top for over a year now or the already weak Light.

I didn't need to spend too much time on the game to conclude with this verdict.

[sudden tangle]

Lol, knew another L of a patch was coming. Clown balance team. Does anyone even play ranked at embark past gold?

@lavish shard throwing knives is not where L needs buffs. That's like the exact opposite of what L needs. Making them even stronger in casual but not helping at all in competitive. You have no idea about anything.

[lavish shard]

Everybody cry about aps and no buff light ( nerf heavy coming s3)
Aps nerf and light buff people not happy i dont understand

the shittiest weapon getting a buff doesnt make all of light better
thats like saying "heavy got nerfed" if they made the MGL do 1 less damage

[gilded marlin]

Can you guys find a match? I’ve been in q for half n hour

[honest harness]

What was the issue?

[golden rock]

Great patch Embark.

Knives feel so good to play with, now. It is like a weapon I always wanted them to be, they are so much easier to pick up and I still feel like there is a high ceiling with what you can do with them.

Aps needed a change and I am glad you made one I am just afraid it might not be the best one, but hey, we will see how it plays out and you can always change that later. In the meantime I am excited to finally not be facing an impossible to break down barricade.

Also zipline hit boxes, great change and I am glad you implemented the game idling thing. I have only seen it mentioned once and thought that it sounds like a great thing to do so glad it is here.

Overall this gets me excited to see what you guys do in season 3.

Hi finals , I’ve been level 50 on my career for a long time now , probs like 3-4 months now , do you think you’ll update the level cap so there is more grinding to be done

[uneven rampart]

APS has been killed.

I've already relayed my views to Dusty but I will post my thoughts here.

The APS is what I would consider now a "waste of a gadget slot" it is really THAT bad.

To prevent it from being there in infinity for weaker players, I want to suggest the following simple buff.

Make it absorb more, about 5-7 projectiles so that it will actually soak something other than a couple of nades from two medium players or one MGL32 heavy

[proper barn]

Throwing knifes, yes. Your take on APS is just wrong. APS is still a really good pick against the current meta. Forcing an enemy to take time off shooting you to shoot a turret/aps will always be useful aswell as blocking RPG (current high elo meta). + no item should be able to completely negate an entire playstyle/weapon class. If it stops even 2 grenades it did its job.

[torpid vault]

I've been wishing for something similar for a while, now. I think that's a very good idea.

[leaden smelt]

I feel like the level cap should be updated with each season

[grand pasture]

maybe you were just using it wrong? if your only use for aps is countering the mgl which is horrible compared to the other heavy weapons then maybe that wasnt intended, it was a no skill insta counter gadget

[rancid cloud]

I really DO NOT LIKE how you can see the player carrying money through walls in Bank It. From a gameplay perspective I understand why it was done as it makes the game more intense when you have that money, but it shouldn't reveal immediately. It removes the strategy of anticipating a player's moves and gauging safe engagement based on the amount of noise coming from combat areas.

What I would propose is that the player holding that money shouldn't be revealed the way they are now for all players, until after a flat 45 seconds of holding onto that money without depositing it. That way, if a player is biding their time and waiting for the next deposit spawn, they get revealed for dawdling and it puts pressure on them to put the money in before the lobby closes in on them.

[craggy nova]

Not able to find a match in ranked.

[shy walrus]

W patch Embark! I haven't tested knives yet so idk what they will be like, but the APS nerf is a W ! You can still use it in smaller team fights normally but it will stop it from being able to soak up an infinite amount of concentrated utility in modes like power shift. APS is not dead.

[rain gust]

you forget what APS is about. I've played against APS and with APS since Closed Beta, and I've noticed a shift in projectile amounts over the months. It takes an extensive amount of time to defend one cashout. It takes an even more egregious amount of effort to hold down one spot against two other teams contesting you. The APS' ability is not to negate a class, but to force a gadget or two out of someone's hand.

Negating an entire playstyle or weapon class would just be overkill, otherwise we'd have gotten more complaints about APS. There's even those who think APS is underpowered with its lack of radius.

[mild gull]

The 93R needs a buff. It's not viable. The RPM change early in the season wasn't enough to bring it up compared to other light weapons.

I suggest some changes:

• Remove its burst delay, so you can immediately fire another burst after firing the previous one
• Higher damage at range, so people that can control its recoil are also rewarded
• More ammo

Now you may be asking: why not increase its damage? The reason not to increase damage on this weapon is so that it does not 2-burst light with body shots alone (hence my suggestion to remove the burst delay instead).

With these changes, the 93R will be more viable to use while not going overboard with damage per bullet changes.

[lime lichen]

i have an even better way to fix it, instead of it taking health with catching projectiles give it overheat. also give both turrets overheat. aps will overheat after it catches 3-6 projectiles and will deactivate for 1-3 sec and the normal turret will overheat after it does x amount of shots and will deactivate for 1-3 sec

[slate grove]

Yall r always complaining cmon

[steel tinsel]

Some accounts (mine for example) were incapable of join or listen to anyone except 1 o 2 friends in voice chat. Even accept their invitations was impossible, it was like you were only connected to a certain friend voice chat ALWAYS, couldn’t hear or add anyone to friend list

[rough herald]

5-7????? dude, if that happen then my belove cl-40 can't do shit
i was the one who spam the aps to only eat 3 out of my 4 bullet in my mag and thats the most i can manage
(if i can chose i want it out of the game)

4 is the deal breacker here

[random mason]

I feel that everyone whos been complaining about the APS is because of Powershift. God it is unbearable trying to retake platform when you've got 2-4 enemy APS

[upper citrus]

APS change is great I think it should have a bit more range though. Not as much as it used to have but somewhere in between the old beta range and the current range

[light turtle]

new throwing knife buff makes it a 4 shot on mediums, i think thats a bit too good. they feel REALLY strong rn

the throwing knives would still be incredibly strong without the added damage. first throw is 50% faster AND faster projectile speed feels awesome and that should stay. but they fr might be s++ as it is now, being able to 2 burst meds

[faint saddle]

let them be good for once they were terrible long enough plus there was a kill combo of heavy throw + light throw

[sturdy abyss]

Why are hammers so much damage for such a low skill weapon. 200 per hit one shots lights, they only other weapon that can do this is the sniper with arguably requires dramatically more skill. 140 should be the cap on hammer damage, that way a skilled player could use a dash or quick melee to get the same effect

[pliant lion]

I agree that 40% damage seems a little excessive. Ideally I would suggest it only destroys projectiles it has a clear line of sight with and reduce the damage taken to let's say 20-25%.

Alternatively it could detonate the projectile when it "destroys" it (instead of outright disabling it), which would make it deal its regular damage to the APS turret itself and the surrounding area/players. This way a guardian turret within the APS' range isn't immune to explosives and the APS automatically takes damage, without an artificial damage system.

Last option would make the user have to tactically place the APS so block off certain areas (like doorways) so the enemies can't throw grenades through the opening.

[nova veldt]

remove the 10k 15k 22k bs, it makes 2 first useless. make it 10k 10k 10k

[foggy raptor]

😹😹

[cloud jungle]

DIRECTIONAL EQUIPPING WEAPON BINDING IS MISSING

[quick coyote]

Again, attempts to smooth out the corners and come up with an alternative to a weaker nerf, comes down to taking a grenade launcher and it all doesn't work as it should. Accordingly, the automatic Power Shift mode breaks down, which is currently unplayable, if at least someone takes heavy with a grenade launcher, instantly destroying the whole meaning of the mode and turning it into a regular DM, even if the developers make it so that the grenade launcher does not damage APS, then it still kills all the tactics of the raid platform/CashOut by turning it In mindless grenade spam, many mediums take grenades, each with 2.

Thanks for the casual!

[gleaming summit]

gunplay should come first IN A SHOOTER, not melee, grenade launcher or gadgets. and fuck your casual balance people don't even bother playing more than 10h of your game when they find out how cancerous the balance is. Whoever is your test team or decides balance stuff should take a look at successful games! No kidding, I'm getting really tired of this game, it's getting worse and worse with every patch. And if you listen to noobs all day who are protected by SBMM and don't even know how the game works, you should switch off SBMM for 2 weeks so that these people can get a taste of what reality is!

[topaz token]

What is it with embark and absolutely hamfisted nerfs?? Zero subtlety. Obliterated APS, just like stun gun, cloak, c4, etc etc. Sure APS is annoying in powershift, but so is having grenades spammed on the point constantly, and it’s not like it’s broken in other modes. 3 uses per APS is a joke, and embark has all but removed it from the game for no good reason. 🫠

[deft valve]

Finally APS has been nerfed!!! Im always using aps but I must admit that the gadget needed this to balance it, especially on Powershift

[pseudo breach]

Personally I feel the whole balancing team should be fired... My guess is they come on here and read a single comment on someone complaining about whatever, and then nerf it to the ground. While that single comment guy probably stopped playing, like you said, 10h in.

[brazen walrus]

Stun gun should disable enemy aim and also make CD to specialisation to 50% more if he used it before stun.

Ttk 93r so bad. He should do more damage or fast shooting or the best option- have more magazine.

MGL32 bullet should explosive if he close to enemy. Or make it damage more cuz its really not helpful gun. It counter easily. Just make my big guy useful.

[fervent blaze]

fsr frame gen when

[prisma sigil]

Yeah Stun Gun should make the guy disconnet too at this point

[real moon]

EMBARK THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BUFFING THE THROWING KNIVES YOU ARE THE GOATS

[pale adder]

Can we get freelook while reviving and stealing back? Game is better with it

[vestal basin]

The throwing knives feels so good, but balanced

[quick coyote]

@pale adder yup i was thinking the same. I kind of get not allowing it while stealing a cashout but removing it for resing was an awful idea. now you can't look around to see if you're being pushed and to make things worse, the audio in this game is already bad where you get pushed from behind and you hear nothing. now i'll stick to res with defibrilator or just straight out avoid it.

loook a this EMbark 😂 thx fr for you big shhhh anti cheat who ban the player with 3kills & loosing the game in overtime , & the trues cheaters are " so good players using skill issue" i are so good too devs , i have "afk penality" because i get kicked for " violation " in your puss+++ game ! Thx u so much , i lost my time for nobody , i hope your game get closed before the year ending ^^ ❤️ with all my love

[novel lily]

nerf the amount of grenades to 1

[finite briar]

ok now this is a drastically bad idea if you are referring to aps turret because now heavy grenade launcher spam will now be even more prevalent in powershift

[restive berry]

Please can we focus on nerfing heavy for season 3.
Their only downside is mobility, which is almost a strength when you factor in their ability to lock down an area, break through a locked down area, delete people with rpg/charge, etc, etc.
HHM is the go to in ranked, it's plaguing diamond as it can beat almost every other combination with ease, the only other combo that gives is trouble is HML, because of the glitch grenades and crazy damage from the light, but as the light can be killed so easily, the light needs to play 3 times better than the Heavy to stand a chance.

Please nerf the rpg so it has 2 shots/ammo, and does 74dmg. That way they can't double shot a light, or any other class, making a fight a 3v2 before it starts.

Please nerf the charge so that it either does like 30dmg, or stays at current, but stops when you hit a player. Being able to kill a medium in one charge is absurd. It feels cheap. And when you're in a ranked lobby where the other 3 teams are all HHM, that's 3 charges (or more) in the match, so you die to it a lot, and it feels shitty.

The lewis gun has more dps than any full auto medium gun, so not only do they have 1000hp of shields for you to get through, they have barricades, 100hp more than you, and their gun does more damage than yours, the medium stands no chance unless the heavy makes huge mistakes.

With the APS nerf, how comes the bubble shield doesn't have it's radius made smaller, as it acts like an APS for the most part, it absorbs rpgs, bounces grenades, etc.
I know you can shoot it down, but why does the heavy get to have everything.

They also have barricades which can completely lock off door ways, removing a barricade as a light or medium takes far too long, or takes far too many recourses. The only way to remove the barricade is by being another heavy and just charging through it (without the use of red cannisters, which aren't always around when you need them).

The heavy is so overwhelmingly strong atm. Please.

[cloud jungle]

You're forced to turn your camera to equip your weapon now.

AN OPTION TO SEPERATE KEYBINDING FOR WEAPON AND INTERACTION IS NEEDED

[teal minnow]

It's not killed ... the meaning of the APS was not to make some players useless , think about cl-40 mains they are USELESS in a APS scenario. The nerf was a W and it was needed. Also as @rain gust mentioned the meaning of the APS is to force out 1 or 2 gadgets of a players hands.

[night zephyr]

my whole squad uses cl-40 and it wasn't useless at all lol. You can destroy the APS by shooting next to it super easy.

[untold haven]

should really change that damage taken to 10%

[modest parrot]

Guys, the nerf to heavy here is they are most likely to eat a Glitch grenade now that their APS friend is gonna break from a sneeze.

[stray thunder]

After playing for a couple of hours I have 0 contribution when I check the comunity event progress.
Am I doing something wrong or is something broken?

[upper citrus]

Thank God

[sand hazel]

That aps nerf is hell in powershift the entire match is just grenade launchers and spam on the platform now

[gusty grotto]

Didn't they buff the aps turret?

[lavish shard]

Now nerf
Rpg
Dmg charge
Lewis dps
And we good for nerfing everything

[drowsy vector]

Can’t wait to get wrecked by HHM again in ranked with the APS nerf

[pseudo breach]

I haven't found a game I actually enjoyed since Super People. Seems like this one is going down as well with all these brilliant changes. At this stage they might as well remove everything, keep 1 class and give them a pea shooter.

@night zephyr Someone with a brain

[queen cloud]

fun skillfull meta. Don't need to have good aim, don't need to have good mechanics, don't need to user natural cover.
Just rush in, trow shields, spam rpg, pray and pray with lewis

[fallow maple]

Same thing for me, everybody say it will update after 30min, but my first match was nearly 2h ago and still no points. I don't know if i should play specific gamemode or something?

[desert topaz]

Moar wallpapers pls

[hidden edge]

Can we please have a random/rotating weapon skin option?!
Y'all keep releasing awesome new skins and I want to apply all of them haha

[frail wave]

change back to freelook on cashouts and trophies please

[graceful slate]

If a light gets close enough for the heavy hit then they’re bad.

[verbal reef]

Hey Guys!
Do you know why the community event damage does not counting for me in the leaderboard?

[slender hazel]

I don't know what changed but I'm crashing constantly after the latest update. Before I haven't crashed once

[torn shale]

Being throwing knives main (4h hours), I can say, you truly overbuffed knives. Now, they are too strong.

[arctic lily]

APS nerf is wild. It was the only thing stopping grenade spam from happening. Like if you wanted to nerf it, just nerf the radius of what it can protect. It can already be easily destroyed by bullets or melee. By shooting outside the radius it can be easily destroyed by explosives. I think if that was a PSA on that there would have been less outcry for nerfs on the thing.

[drifting gorge]

Thoughts about the new balance changes:

Buffing bad weapons is AMAZING, FINALLY (I don't know how they perform yet)

APS nerf seems like too much but I haven't tried that either. You can block like only 3 things with it now???? Why?

In the case that you nerfed it too much, idk what y'all are doing because there are three other things you nerfed way too hard: cloak, mesh shield, and stun gun

[stray basalt]

Thanks for the throwing knives buff. Buffing the weaker weapons will always be W!

[dark zodiac]

throwing knives are now broken fr, i hit 25/5 easily and I main Medium

[night zephyr]

With the APS nerf they just need to make it so that grenades from grenade launchers only consume like 10% health, and goo only consumes like 5%. While gadgets consume 40%

[remote steppe]

yea 40% is CRAZY

[tacit tapir]

yea, it should lose hp based on the impact of projectiles

3 goo gun shots from a heavy will instantly delete an APS making the gadget useless

[real moon]

guys even if tk is broken you should appreciate that new weapons might be "meta" the bad weapons are becoming good now, we should be happy

[drifting mauve]

You guys should regularly feature different bundle sets with the purchase of 2,400 multibucks. I'm honestly waiting for the Easter set to change before putting more of my own money in. Plus, it needs to be advertised in the multibucks purchase screen. It would incentivise more players to pay $20 for a bundle they like. 😎

[queen cloud]

has to be.

[rough herald]

so much lag

[amber bear]

Is there any plan on adding a “Lock aim input method as mouse” option to the FINALS. Something in a similar fashion to how Fortnite has there’s set up. I myself, as well as a few other players I’ve seen, use an unconventional set up, moving with a joystick and aiming with a mouse. I had no problem using both simultaneously in beta but since launch I have had to remap my joystick to keys due to any ongoing fight for input control in game. I know there was an issue with a large amount of player using REWASD to get a competitive advantage over there a opponents in game, however a “Lock aim input method as mouse” option would eliminate this as it only applies to movement. I know a lot of handicap players, players with joints issues, or players with unconventional set ups who just prefer joystick movement would greatly appreciate an option like this in game. I saw a video of a player with an Azeron struggling with the same issues that I do on my GMK joystick.

[pseudo latch]

Or how about we buff some other shit for a change lmao

[sturdy abyss]

Why do lights have melee weapons then

[graceful slate]

ever heard of dash?

[fallow maple]

Not every weapon is used to fight every single other one? Like sword will be great against granade launcher, but will suck against hammer or shotgun.

[fervent blaze]

the new patch is making my fps lag like hell

[pseudo breach]

Did heavy get a speed boost or something? I can't outrun them as a medium

[marsh crypt]

Added a new system to the frontend that limits frame rate and resolution after receiving no user input for a while, or when the app is not in focus
Dev note: This will help save energy and spare your PCs and consoles from working too hard when the game is idling. This only affects the main menu and can be toggled in the new Energy Saving section of the Video setting.

Thank you

[clear hemlock]

Sword beats hammer if you don't panic 99% of the time. Only hard counters would be grenade launchers, flame thrower, and maybe now throwing knives, need to test that out.

[hallow haven]

nerf the small class throwing knifes

[tawny ingot]

It just got buffed😭😭😭

[coral axle]

DAY 8 FOR ASKING FOR FSR 3.0 AND FRAME GENERATION!

[shut gyro]

I hope season 3 brings 120 fps to console since all the new games has it at 120 fps it is a shame that no one talks about it, please revert Fcar recoil pattern since you nerfed its damage i feel, revert lewis gun recoil it is the hardest recoil in the game and finally please let us at least practice range as we searching for a ranked game it is so boring to wait 5-10 minutes and not do anything in this time, thank for listening and i promise you devs if you add these 4 with your original plan for season 3 it will be so big

[dry timber]

APS turret nerf is ridiculous : the point of the APS turrets it's to destroy it by shooting it (and it doesn't even have that much health). Now the thing is pretty useless. Just throw three grenades it's over, if two team are focusing you APS is sooooooo bad right now. I can't even understand why they nerfed this. I guess the point of THE FINALS is to make everything so bad with nerfs that the game is unfun and everyone quits.

[finite briar]

nah it's even worse because if someone runs goo gun the aps turret literally lasts for a second

[sharp herald]

500 healing for a daily is a nice change ty ty

[long flame]

me still waiting for them to add a music selector so that we can choose what songs are played

[obsidian solar]

BUFF THE RIOT SHIELD:
Here's some suggestions, I know all of these together would make the shield pretty strong but even 1 or 2 would be enough to improve it so much!:

• While blocking movement speed should be the same as walking (increasing block movement speed would help a lot in pushing and giving your teammates support)
• Increase swing speed (Honestly a lot issues would be solve with this, the weapon lacks a good ttk)
• Increase damage from 84 to 90
• Electrify the baton and give it a glitch effect, when you hit somebody they're glitched for 2,5 sec (This would give the shield so much utility and would help the team greatly, making it a viable options)

THE LATEST BUFF ISN'T WORKING:

• From your POV it does look like you're covering yourself faster, however after testing it with other people we can confirm that infact you don't block faster and you can't block between swings, you're constantly exposed

FIX THE FOV WHEN HOLDING THE SHIELD UP:

• Remove the fov zoom when you hold your shield up (it's very annoying that when you block the screen zooms in, either remove it or add the option to choose between affected or indipendent fov while aiming)

HOLDING THE DAGGER BACKSTAB:

• Make it so you can hold the backstab and it's not a forced animation, revert it like it was in the Open Beta

[cosmic narwhal]

i can no longer track contracts? and the glitch where it says a stage that is unlocked is going to be unlocked in 1 day is still there

[gray flare]

i just got a "system integrity violation" in my first game of the new update despite the fact that im not cheating ??? or using a controller emulator??? the only thing i can think of is my autoclicker but ive had that open in literally every other video game ive ever played and it was fine

[rough herald]

too much lag

[hard scarab]

We need a witch broom sword skin, I think it should be based off of the broom in the Clean House emote (but also fine with a complete redesign). I think bristles would be the side hitting the enemy as it would look like you are sweeping them away

[drifting gorge]

This is literally the fix. I thought of this too. Making it a flat 40% rate is so foolish, you just made goo gun absolutely cracked in power shift

[night zephyr]

Yeah the nerf was needed, but a grenade/flash/gas shouldn't be worth the same as a single goo shot. Variable % depending on if it's an ammo or gadget is the ideal solution.

[tulip basin]

Being able to look around while planting/reviving was honestly so good.
idc if it was a bug, PLEASE BRING THAT BACK!

(or at least find some kind of middle ground based on positional movement to fix the issue of people being able to stick a steal/deposit while the floor gets blown out from below them)

[spark shard]

Remove RPG cancer.

[keen light]

Revert APS nerf

[wise jolt]

Throwing knives are INSANE right now. i need to get used to the new velocity but holy are they broken rn

[dreamy gull]

Still didn’t get the last community event reward (pink shoes)

[hollow breach]

buff lights HP to 175 so they can withstand the free DMG from RPG and have at least a fighting/reaction chance

[jagged cedar]

Or... now hear me out... just nerf the rpg

[brittle obsidian]

Now that aps can be bruteforced through can we get its old range back?

[lofty elm]

Why are we able to see people through walls after damaging them?

[woven hawk]

So many nice things in the patch, thank you very much. The new controller security had me worried because I play with a controller & mouse (no keyboard) using steam input. Went into practice range no kick so happy ❤️ Can't wait to scan through the new lore video & try throwing knives, also happy my pings will be more accurate.

Keep up the great work, we appreciate you listening to the feedback

[velvet edge]

Why does it feel like the devs are actively trying to ruin their game?

[queen cloud]

AI it's not only the voice lines. It's the balacing team aswell.

[quick coyote]

Can you please stop nerfing stuff so equipment and weapons feel less powerful? Instead, please buff weapons and equipment so they are more powerful. Make it so there are viable counters, instead of making it so things are less powerful.

I don't use most of the equipment, weapons, and strategies that you keep nerfing (taser, shield spam, now aps, etc) but I play against it. I find that its annoying that the strategies I've invented to deal with player tactics keep getting removed in favor of sterile un-unique gameplay because some of the tryhard fan base keeps spamming "remove nukes," "remove taser," and now "remove RPG's" in discord and on streams.

Not everything needs to be on the level playing field constantly, some things should be more powerful and maybe unbalanced. Some of the most fun I had was learning to outmaneuver specific heavy players who were using nukes against me, because it became a physiological mind game and all about who really was better at the game. I have the same problem Death Go Boom event being removed. It was a challenge as a melee player to jump in, kill someone, and get out before the explosion killed me.

I feel like you're taking away the fun situations from the game because a vocal subset of the playerbase want a point and click shooter instead of a crazy gameshow. For example, the current spam about RPG's. I don't often get killed by RPG's and don't often kill people with RPG's, because most people at my level of the game understand how to dodge rather slow moving rockets. When I do get killed by an RPG, I don't rage because its unbalanced and spam. I realize that its just how the game works and that I was either in an impossible situation or probably out of position.

APS turrets were fine the way there were. If people wanted to deal with them, they had the data transmute ability. It was a great counter available. Now there's really no reason to run that ability, whose whole seeming reason to disrupt enemy equipment placements.

[finite briar]

I heavily agree with his/her standpoint especially with the aps one

[vocal socket]

APS was actually useful, it was a good counter to explosives and made players actually work around your position instead of just spamming grenade launcher ammo

[rain pier]

bring back Nukes

[slow fox]

Melee behind mesh shield has been in the game since as long as I played mesh shield, how can this be “fixed”? Removes 40 dmg from mesh’s capabilities but we wont touch charge and slam that kills a heavy in a second?

[fickle bison]

guy above barely even plays the game disregard him

[rough herald]

YIPPEEEEEEEEE LIGHT STILL WORTHLESS AND YOU DID JACK SHIT TO HEAVY YEAAAAAAAAA

[violet elbow]

💀 (agreed with Balise btw please just nuke charge already)

[sonic spoke]

Great Patch! bravo team!

[hard scarab]

Charge n slam needs a nerf 1 shotting lights is wild there's already rpg for that lol. Honestly id probs have less problems with charge and slam if stun gun stopped specializations

[drifting gorge]

I'm genuinely malding at this patch

I'm just tired of the lack of a happy medium, it's either the thing gets nerfed into the ground, gets buffed too much, or very very occasionally gets buffed or nerfed too little multiple times until it's in a good state which is acceptable

[stray rampart]

✅

[near ice]

There needs to be more splash damage for players using grenade launchers. They shoot their foot and I die....psh

[normal lance]

throwing knives just too op right now

[gusty wagon]

fax. more GL self damage ^^^

[hollow breach]

APS should’ve been 15% or 10% or 5% it would still counter grenade launchers effectively without getting deleted after 3 bullets but still counter throwables easily and make glitch grenade disable APS turret it’s literally a 5 second glitch which literally does nothing impactful and has a niche use already that’s only useful against shield heavies

[hollow valve]

Throwing knives are very good now. So revolver and FAMAS buff when?

[olive oak]

I have already made support tickets about this issue in the past. Basically I'm quite annoyed at how often The Finals crashes for me. But after todays new update my frustrations have reached a new high.
I queued for tournament as a HEAVY, and my game crashed. I reconnected, before I could be revived I got "kicked from server" so I reconnected again. And I got spawned in as a MEDIUM with AKM and GOO GRENADES and the default skin 😭, so this was already terrible enough but then my game crashed AGAIN. I'm just so heartbroken because I'm plat 2 and really trying hard to get to diamond but these crashes happen every time I play and it doesn't happen in any other game. I play on steam, I have verified the files and nothing was wrong, even reinstalled the game, didn't help. I had these crashes when the game launched, it was later fixed but they started happening again after 2.6.0.

[cinder ridge]

just got ripped from a ranked tourny and placed into a completely separate one fro no reason. hope i dont lose rank

[nova crest]

Oversized white T please😇🙏🏼

[hallow haven]

i get 2 tapped with it as a medium class bro wtf

[wicked tiger]

The throwing knife buff is ridiculous. They were already very strong, now I've got 9 lights in power shift half with snipers and half with throwing knives and no one is going for objective.

[sudden tangle]

How many days til season 3? Kinda looking forward to seeing if season 3 can redeem this game as a competitive game or if im dropping it for good.

-Comp gamemode is too rng
-Aiming is rng (crosshair and sight alignment!)
-Rating changes need to make sense
-Class balance!?!?!?!?! L is way too underrepresented.
-netcode needs to become better so you dont get shot around walls
-more rewards to grind for in competitive!

[polar shell]

Boost fells terrible RN

[vale acorn]

A mode where you scavenge gadgets off of dead players would be fun. Maybe ammo can be limited on firearms and melee weapons could break forcing a weapon swap. This mechanic could be used for Terminal Attack or even an Exit Shooter game mode where you need to extract while holding valuable goods

[rough herald]

i know you guys aren't game designer and all (either am i) but ffs half of the suggested change are so dumb.

[drifting obsidian]

Ngl I find the game refreshing compared to cod and other fps games. Light does need something to aid the team more. At the moment in ranked if you’re paired with a light it sucks cuz they basically do their own thing.

[untold haven]

APS was an overall good change but it was definitely too harsh, 20-30% would be more appropriate, it should take a little chunk of a teams util to dispose of them, especially considering the double RPG meta in effect currently, also goo really shouldn’t effect it at all considering you can instantly delete them with a goo gun now

[rigid shale]

Is there a meaningful penalty for leaving a match? Does shadowplay work correctly again? These are the fixes I'm interested in.

[quick coyote]

Add a glitch dart

[old lily]

Autoclicker is external cheat just like anything else which runs externally and gives you advantage Lmao

[gritty owl]

Health cost should be based on projectile type. Make gadgets and rockets cost like 30%, grenade launcher and goo gun maybe 5%

[quick coyote]

They need to completely remove the gadget delays. Everything feels so sluggish when you equip something and cant use it for a whole second. Name a single other game where u throw a C4 and have to wait 4 seconds for it to explode.

[mighty frost]

thank you embark for listening to the casual audience that can't play for shit. now quick cash and cash out is now filled with lights that uses throwing knives that have a dps faster than the sr-84. not to mention, the aps is basically worthless now. 😂

[glacial oyster]

OH PLEASE I hope we get more body options for the female heavy, I want to be able to make my heavy to look like carlea1, who's a heavyweight 6.10ft karate champion! https://i2.paste.pics/R1YD7.png?rand=5Tth42J96k

[gray flare]

is there any particular reason why this is literally the only game that gives a shit and it only started giving a shit this morning

[quick coyote]

Can't track contracts anymore and older challenges now appear as if they are active in a couple of days?

[sweet isle]

Bruh

[plush depot]

The heavy shouldnt be an ultra damage dealing monster, make him weak but more of a tank double life or something i dont care , nobody plays light anymore and if there is some in the tournament they always get queued with me , who ONLY plays light, all my friends stopped playing the game because its just disgusting , I only play because im coping probably

[cinder ridge]

still dont understand how people are high plat low diamond and cant hit shots on heavies from 10 feet away. how are these people getting pushed up the ladder but i win 3 tournaments in a row and dont rank up

[thick vale]

there is so much rank inflation It's so bad, there are plats and diamonds that should be gold

[violet elbow]

love how controller aim assist still tracks trough light dash

[rough herald]

do something about it

[chrome citrus]

COpium

[upper citrus]

the riot shield is already completely fine. its a skill issue at this point

[tawdry bramble]

revert the APS back, because the amount of nade spam in this game and you make it deflect 3? what an abysmal choice.. yet the smgs reign supreme at any distance...

[hollow breach]

Can The Finals make use of Discord Rich presence? It would show if you're in a match, join requests, you can send invites etc.

[stray basalt]

Please give the revolver a buff 💪. Also throwing knives may need a nerf.

[regal flare]

Game keeps crashing sinds todays update, can't even launch it anymore. Anyone got a fix for this? 🙌

[shut scroll]

Can you please remove the bright white flash of the screen when respawning? It causes pain for my eyes and brings on headaches.

[drifting pawn]

40% hp hit to the APS per projectile blocked is insane. at the very least it should be able to regen if that's the case. why does it take damage? it's literally killing the damaging projectile lol. better/fairer nerf would be to give it 3 or 4 "charges" it can block projectiles with, then "recharge" 1 at a time. even still, only 3-4 charges seems like a pretty drastic nerf. don't even feel it needed a nerf to begin with; it's super easy to shoot out. a self-destructing nerf is just dumb. usage is about to drop heavily. if any one aspect of it deserved a nerf, it would be that it destroys projectiles through a ceiling/floor/wall. it should at least have a direct line of sight to the projectile. this 40% nonsense needs to be undone.

[cerulean rune]

^^^

[odd ibex]

We need different balance for ranked and casual

[wicked tiger]

The APS shouldn't have been nerfed as long as there are grenade launchers in the game.

[thick sand]

you nerfed and balanced everything to the ground , a balanced game it's not a fun game. choose if you want to make the game either funny and goofy or full sweaty tryhard competitive . or add 2 playlists or game modes with different rules . but this just doesn't work everything feels horribly bad

[lilac pelican]

So APS is just absolutely useless now? 40% per projectile? You know how many projectiles get tossed especially on a stacked Vault? This is insane of a change.

40% is a bit much? That means only 3 Projectiles at most get deflected.

20% would make it more worthwhile? That's atleast 4-5 projectiles.

oh im not the only one complaining, thank god. I see you people and i thank you 💪

[tropic tiger]

Please make a setting that lets us turn off being backfilled

i have lost count on how many times i have been backfilled into a doomed lobby where i litteraly lose 10 seconds into spawning cuz the round is at its end

its annoying, i would rather sit in the menu and wait for a new lobby than to be backfilled

[arctic relic]

Not really. B tier at best\

[jovial jetty]

I'll admit the apes nerf was a tad brutal, but this is basically exactly what was done with C4 at the end of last season, they take things that were running rampant during a season, shunt them to the ground, and let a new meta emerge. It's good game design and keeps things fresh each season

[glad delta]

God I have been waiting for the aps nerf holy fuck. Maybe let's see how it works and it'll get tuned down

[drifting gorge]

This balance is cancer. I don't envy the balance teams job because the dynamic between the classes is hard to fix and make fun but the decision to ship this update with APS out with a flat 40% health loss rate per projectile blocked is straight braindead. I don't even use the damn thing and I'm mad

[pseudo breach]

Yet nothing will change, because Embark listens to the minority of players not knowing how to wipe their own assess. Just look what happened to stun gun. A few people complained about it and now it's useless. I hate the stun gun, but that nerf was taken way too far.

[hazy marten]

So uhhhhhh... I cannot press the More Info button on any of the shows because it is the same button as Private Match, pls fix. (why did they even add that button)

[fleet atlas]

light need buff

[solemn burrow]

Dont know where to post bugs but ive been getting a bug where the boombox emote (stereo emote) doesn't play sound for some reason.

[drifting obsidian]

Pick it up and replace it it’ll be full health

[cold bolt]

once again they've nerfed something that was fine + not even meta bc of casuals

I beg you all queue ranked and see whether what you're whining about is actually good or not, APS was niche before and now it's even more niche. The medium best in slot gadgets have always been double movement + defib or single movement + grenade + defib, and that's only moreso after this patch lol

if they increased the range to make up for the HP change and then also decreased how much the hp decreases per activation then I'd maybe be ok with it though

@rigid shale use OBS replay buffer for now until they fix shadowplay breaking on this game

[upper citrus]

How is APS being able to completely eat 3 cooldowns bad? I do think they should buff its radius but the previous iteration of APS was stupid

@rigid shale medal.tv

[rigid shale]

what if there was a meaningful penalty for leaving a match mid-game and rank loss protection for those who remain?

what if shadowplay worked? thank you @cold bolt and @upper citrus for alternatives.

[high jolt]

Can you guys stop breaking things every time you patch the game?!!!?!?! I only ever crash on update days or the morning after and it’s really frustrating.

[rough herald]

heavy killing ranked
sniper killing casual

[cosmic ether]

I play all 3 classes, I've almost never seen APS as an issue. Annoyance? sure. There's a loud minority that seems to want to combat every bit of challenge to their playstyle with a nerf or crying about stupid shit when they die and unfortunately that'll probably be the death of this game when everything gets nerfed and people stop playing altogether because it's no longer the game they fell for.

[young ore]

Hey,

I'm still having issues when I want to run the game above 32 bit, 192000 Hz audio (I'm using a Questyle M15 DAC/Amp).
Anything above this value makes the game play no sound. Every other game I play works fine at 32 bit, 384000 Hz.
Since The Finals has this issue I have to revert to 32 bit, 192000 Hz every time I want to play the game. I have to mention that even older games support above 192000 Hz sound.

Thank you!

[orchid quarry]

shitty ass game

[uncut tide]

good feedback 👍

[drifting pawn]

a few spammed grenade launcher shots alone in the room now is enough to neutralize it entirely, no matter how well you place it behind cover. we're talking about a deployable that already took 3 bullets to take out

[proven ibex]

Ottr is an expert? Bruh, he plays in noob lobbies and rage quits if someone kills him in plat+ lobbies.

This association is the worst you've ever done coz this Ottr guy is the most toxic content creator of The Finals. My friends and other people who fought to check the content searched 'The Finals' in YT and this guy's stream came up in recommendations. After watching for few mins they said it's the worst stream and this game sucks if he's the top streamer. And I totally agree with them.

Just why? You should've gone for other Ytrs or streamers who may have less subs but genuine at gaming.

This is totally unexpected. Devs must be drinking these days

[last rivet]

40% per shot is crazy, may as well remove it from the game like Recon senses. Even 20% is probably a lot but would be a good starting point. And this is coming from a China Lake enjoyer.

[cerulean torrent]

Heavy GL still has 6 grenades, right? Heavy fires 3 grenades: APS is down; Heavy fires 3 more grenades: turrets, friendly mines, C4, breach charges, and all canisters on site are detonated. All in just under 3 seconds.

I'm not against having it consume health, but it should take two people's effort to take it down from a distance with 0 risk to themselves.

The balance change here would allow it to be placed much more frequently, or consume much less health per projectile destroyed.

[uneven rampart]

You throw 2 goo + 1 sonar? Deleted.

The APS is destroyed

[violet elbow]

I feel like ever since this latest update health bars stay for a bit TOO long after somebody goes behind a wall, maybe im trippin, but its legit soft wallhacks now, idk if anything changes but it feels like it

[lavish shard]

100% true but healing and defib is a problem to

[marsh dew]

Heavy nerf idea: What about adding a barrel cool down for heavies on MGs? If you use sustained fire instead of firing in bursts, the barrel can get hot, resulting in a required cool down before you can shoot again?

[rapid stream]

Doesn’t it only get damaged by grenade launchers tho

[rich vault]

Why is no one talking about the rank system?.... It really suckss... Not knowing how many points did i excaxtly get or lose after each game is So annoying.... You would be playing and stuck in your rank for ever.. You dont even know when u gonna rank up.. 😂

[stone remnant]

heavy nerf: Charge, please dear god, lower that damage

[cinder ridge]

got a plat one on my team has 3 kills in 4 games. matchmaking keeps putting him on my team and i carry hit through a round or two but still lose rank somehow even though im highest fragger in the game both rounds. ranked is just ass imo. diamond 3 and below are just free ranks given to people for playing the game (yes im playing obj aswell)

[summer parcel]

Yeah... I agree the ranking systems sucks big time. And PUG grouping really blows. Especially when you get matched with a rock.

[high wing]

srsly they really need to fix matchmaking or implement sbmm, just because people have the same rank as me does not mean they are equally good, i get such a fucking joke of teammates its impossible to rank up

[iron bough]

And R.I.P. this game...

[quick coyote]

The Desync in this game is getting worse, jesus fuck*ng ch......

[ruby brook]

this is bad really bad any devs intrested in how its done please dm me i dont want this to be a common thing ( just found out this works while ads aswell) <@&1012034066876473384>

[shut gyro]

Agree especially as a console player my self i feel he is so toxic against console and controller players

[thick vale]

I'm D3 rn and I can't disagree with you at all, The last game i played a dude got only 2 kills the entire tournament and we won that one only cause me and my friend just assumed he was going to be useless after the first round. they need to make it harder to rank up or something cause they can not have this many plats and diamonds that are so bad

[finite briar]

new meta lmao

[drifting gorge]

Yep. I've talked about it plenty already in other channels but come on guys like wtf is this nerf

[sage sonnet]

please turn rpg into a destruction oriented tool. maybe 2 or 3 rockets carried but much less damage? like 50-70.

[dark delta]

how come every time i report a braindead teammate they give me that same teammate the following game?

[olive crown]

queue all button when

[queen cloud]

karma...

[hard bridge]

this game is amazing, let this be like an easter egg

[quick coyote]

You just take the grenade launcher and that's it, no APS.

[wispy sand]

Add per gamemode nerfs instead of overall nerfs. What punishes in one, deletes in another.

[velvet niche]

can yall update outfits so tht the older ones you can buy just one peice

[hollow valve]

Holy f FAMAS mmg we need the FAMAS buff like this lol.

And about throwing knives... It's literally a spam weapon now, adad spam, I guess only rollers in apex legends that have rotational aim assist can track that with no reaction time. At least increase the projectile spawn time to previous condition... I thought throwing knives is about precision......

And the sound issue exists. The issue that I have encountered is the gun fire is distorted. The xp-54 just sounded exactly like a10 gatling run over, loud and machine gun like.

[zinc haven]

"We have now increased our detection of devices that emulate a controller while playing with Mouse and Keyboard, which is not permitted." THANK YOU 🏁

[wide forge]

The latest patch introduced a nasty bug on controller that removes the option to map a button to just 'Equip Weapon' instead of 'Interact and Equip Weapon' when using 'Directional Equipping'.
That's a real controller nerf in ranked especially since it will mean accidentally interacting with stuff when meaning to equip your weapon - which can and will be the difference between life and death sometimes, so please please please revert this.
And while you're at it: please reinstate using 'Equip Weapon' as a reload cancel as it used to be in Season 1, since reload cancelling using a gadget/specialization can be very inconsistent because the gadget/specialization can be on cooldown.

[high wing]

fix the fking sound

[cold bolt]

yeah once again the root issue is that the game needs a flagship gamemode that everyone likes so we can trim the fat / ignore the fat (i.e. ignore the ppl playing non-flagship gamemodes complaining about stuff bc then they would be a minority rather than a significant portion of the playerbase like rn with power shift players)

as it is rn, it's pretty clear most ppl don't like ranked's gamemode being cash out, so something needs to change

@upper citrus that is a fair take ig but fact is rn it's doo doo poo poo since they didn't make those hypothetical buffs and adjustments you just listed, and it's gonna be like that for a significant amount of time

[hollow breach]

Heavies DMG per bullet need to be decreased their insane high ammo capacity already makes up. As of right now the heavy class is just way too forgiving with bloated kits. High DMG with high ammo capacity and high health. I suggest lowering their DMG and keeping the ammo capacity the same. This makes it so you won't get beamed across the map by a Heavy as easily. By nerfing these problems Heavies should be more reliant on their ''fortification'' as their description suggests they should. Now they require more strategy and relying more on their gadget and health rather than a tanky DPS terminator that runs down everybody with their RPG. In exchange you could buff their shields again making them outlast / win fights the longer they last

[deft saffron]

TRACK CONTRACT IS NOT WORKING FOR ME

[orchid quarry]

Damn this game sucks ass

[upper citrus]

Aps was absolutely not fine lmao. It wasn’t meta now but the way it worked heavily limited what could be ran and even added to the game because it would just be countered by 1 aps. It now works in a healthy way where it can be buffed in ways like radius and cooldown and remain viable and healthy for the game at the same time.

Even though it is not meta right now, there will be times in the future where the old iteration of APS would be a lot more prominent due to other balance changes. And its design was inherently unhealthy for the game

@finite briar that's something that can be fixed while keeping the current, healthy iteration of APS. Goo gun really shouldnt be blocked by APS at all

[finite briar]

hmmm healthy but me when goo gun deletes aps in literally a second

[gusty wagon]

yup this.

[plain lotus]

Hope ya get region locked, squinty

[strange dune]

I think it would be cool if coins could be used to change weapons in ranked, it would make the gameplay alot fresher and dyanmic in long rounds

[willow leaf]

Lower rpgs damage to around 50-70 and give it two shots. Give a delay to mesh shield so you can’t open it instantly. Replace the healing beam with a healing circle that you place down like the aps. Also add healing bombs. Replace turret with a manual turret instead of a automatic one. Make it so you have to turn off cloak before you can do anything else like shooting. Replace the stun gun with a aps type gadget that stuns people like before the nerf if you’re in its circle. Make it so you can cancel a defib revive by shooting the silhouette it makes and make glitch grenades cancel it too. Allow lights to steal cash outs faster and have faster regen.

[rapid stream]

Since heal beam skins exist I don’t think they’ll replace the heal beam with something else

[manic aspen]

am i the only one getting 100% gpu usage after update

[marble breach]

Nah u fr tho, the amount of times ive died cus of my brain automatically going for the equip weapon button and do nothing is annoying, im gonna derank cus of it...

[odd ibex]

Excellent comment plz copy and paste later cause devs need to know.
The stun gun is ok tho.
Have different balance for ranked and casual cause different audience

[fading hinge]

Medium main here, I’m cool with my APS nerf but did we take into consideration the cooldown time on it, the puny radius and how we can only hold one given that now it can only handle 3 projectiles and teams can have an abundant of throwable equipment if chosen? While we’re here Embark, now that we know health bars can be added to equipment usage let’s consider nerfing turrets maybe? Put a Time limit on them that acts off there health bar OR add a damn firing cooldown PLEASE

[stray rampart]

I'm also experiencing a lot of lag

[urban marsh]

same

[rough herald]

whoe

[marsh dew]

Add a bullwhip as a weapon.

[paper stream]

Cheaters, cheaters, cheaters... nice game, sadge no one cares about that. You should add an option to in-game feedback popup - cheaters.

[cloud jungle]

You're forced to look around to properly equip your weapon now. This is insanely clunky and I'm unable to play until this is fixed.

[severe wave]

MAKE ranked WAY harder the amount of bad mediums i had on my smurf as my mates is crazy. All those stupid plat 2 people who cant even place jumppads. ALL of them should be in fk bronze. Pls make it harder embark i understand people who are angry about solo que or duo que now. The mates are absolute garbage and braindead. Most people cant even place a jumppad that hurts my brain as a main medium on my main....

[visual pecan]

i've been putting a TON of time into medium this season even though I still think I "main" heavy the way i see the nerfs isnt necessarily just bc aps is good for deleting throwables, which it does absurdly well, i think you also have to think about both nade launchers and also heavy slug shotgun all 3 get shot by aps too which makes being a scaredy cat (id use more flavorful words in place but don't rlly know the rules on that) and sitting on an aps blasting you with a fcar or ak a viable strat to fight the previously mentioned weapons which depending on your aim (meaning it has to be WAY more accurate to really accomplish the same goal) is already harder to get the same ttk on, so i think it deffinitely deserved the nerfs as for if it was too much idrk id have to play and see but i will say that i think 3 equipments for teh price of one whosn cooldown starts when you place it is a good trade imo

[scenic spade]

hm

[naive fulcrum]

throwing knives have no level 7, it's the only weapon in the game without it, you should prob add it to the weapon

@clear hemlock ong dude, ong

[thick sorrel]

Nice stream with Ottr @pearl kiln! Hilarious to see in your Last game just 1 Light with the name Useless😂

Looking for an even playing field in Season 3!

you guys broke tracking contracts

Skin is so ugly no one noticed lol

[modern vault]

Hi

[dark delta]

let us dodge games with no penalty if we do it before game starts, like games where we have only one teammate or a light in our team.

[drowsy oriole]

can we please fix the spawn points during a cashout?

[cyan pilot]

Heavy needs nerfs insanely bad, at high level almost every team is running double heavy medium

[stray basalt]

Please nerf throwing knives 🙏

[high wing]

team full of cheaters already

[hard urchin]

Hey, one of my friends is connected to wifi but the game keeps telling him connection issue (he's on ps5) have yall encountered a problem like that?

[thick bluff]

cheaters are everywhere today, like everyday

[paper stream]

XP bonus is probably the reason.

[forest geyser]

I am having an issue where there is no tracking of the damage done for the community event. Neither on the embark id page or in game but I have played a couple hours today and it appears it haste tracked none of that

[jagged thunder]

Unreal is crashing consistently and i'm unable actually enter a match, i get stuck on loading screen for 5 minutes and then crash to desktop, the crash window reads: "Unhanded exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000378" Looking at the feedback outside of people whining about non existent issues i'm not the only one suffering from this crash issue, you guys might want to look into it

[gritty umbra]

anybody else just straight up not do damage when your shooting shields or somebody?

[visual pecan]

dont worry ive been trying to edit a video about this been getting clips all season its a problem i get atleast one clip of shots going through people and hitting the wall behind them

[digital timber]

same, anyone know what's going on there?

[foggy shell]

We seriously still dont have a text chat or the ability yo look at our teams loadout???

[rough herald]

LAG OMG LAG DUDE GIVE ME MY BELOVED FRAME BACK

[wicked tiger]

It's crashed on me mid game about 3 times today - with out any error message.

[rancid falcon]

game crashed for the second time, just telling me EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
If i'm running any software considered cheats then tell me before the game boots up?!?

[strong escarp]

Don't listen to anyone who says that Throwing Knives are OP. Let the pickrate settle for at least a week before making conclusions.

[terse slate]

Since update the matchmaking is hard off. Matches are always one-sided. Being crushed by aim-gods. Was not this way before the patch.
"This is no fun at all now" is what i get to hear from friends now. Dunno what is the cause of this.

[dim schooner]

So, since it was one of the best bugs ever - PLS RETURN FREE LOOK WHILE INTERACTING

[delicate marlin]

The harsh APS nerf really sucks. The only problem with that weapon is that it hard counters some primary weapons like the nade launcher

[cold bolt]

ngl I thought it was intended, I didn't see a single person complain about it either since it buffs everyone universally

[short rock]

Ranked doesn't reward smart plays, it only rewards consistent 1st place

[void scarab]

can we get a rework on the dagger? it's still a fcking joke that when you 'backstab' someone in the face, it deals 50..
when you do a normal left click swing, you deal 50....
a quick melee is 45... sorry but if you get stabbed in the face, you def only hit 1/3rd of a lights HP ...

I would suggest making a 'missed backstab' deal 100 damage, the left click is still more favourable then, even though i would say it needs to deal something like 75 damage per swing

[zinc grotto]

With all due respect, I love the game... But the changes that you've done to the light should've not been done. It was already way to OP

[vestal glen]

Here's my 2 cents on the APS:

• Revert the nerf and make it so it doesn't take any damage when destroying projectiles or very low damages.
  OR

• Make it so it doesn't take any damages but the APS only destroy damaging projectiles (frag, fire, poison, rocket, etc) and not assistance projectiles (smoke, glitch etc)
  BUT

• Make it so that the cooldown starts once the APS gets DESTROYED and not when it's placed.

• For powershift: limit the number of APS to either 2 or 1 on the platform.

[drifting gorge]

They've neglected throwing knives for so long that they didn't add a level 7 😭

[novel fox]

I went to reddi to post this but my post was deleted. So, I will basically copy paste.

I looooove absolutely everything this game stands for. It is such a breath of fresh air compared to COD which I play mostly.
The reason why I stopped playing after a few hours on season 1 was because the lack of customization and the fact that everyone was butt ugly.
I booted the game again last night and saw many customizations which I loved. New game mods. But the customizations for your character are still not that deep. My toon continues to look like a generic dude with an ok body. (The heavy body looks fat to me).

Nitpicking I know but I wonder if I'm the only one. I just joined this sub and plan on starting to take the game more seriously because I love everything else about it. Even the weather effects. Just thought to see if anyone else had a similar experience at first.

[upper citrus]

This bug was really bad. Looking around is locked when interacting to promote game sense and awareness. Knowing when and where to revive someone is a learnable skill.

And it was even worse for stealing cashouts. It allows cashouts to drop through floors without interrupting steals, as well as gave extra range for stealing cashouts once the steal had started.

It is a very good bug fix and led to a ton of undeserved steals and revives while it was in the game

[coarse dirge]

I just joined this server so I apologize if this has already been addressed, BUT

I feel like the private matches could use some development. I play with a lot of friends and we often have too many for the 3-5 person caps for public modes OR sometimes just want to face ourselves.

It's annoying that you cant pull your lobby directly into a private and instead have to make them all leave and join via code. Each mode has forced team minimums, so we couldn't 2v2, 3v3, etc etc. It force fills each team. AND caps at 12 people, which I know is standard for public matches.

Additionally, the host of the private has very little control over the mode rules. Like it would be nice to be able to adjust times, scores, contestants, loadouts, respawns, etc etc.

I dont want to use other titles as a comparison, bc The Finals has been a breathe of fresh air with what's out right now as well as how responsive the dev team is (LOVE). I just think that some development to private matches would be awesome, similar to the customization of previous Call of Duty's (not current, it sucks rn) or Fortnite.

It might not be something that is even in frame of focus but, some changes could also help the potential integration into Collegiate Esports. In one of the leagues we participate in, The Finals has been frequently mentioned as a possible title we include with the season but due to it's lacking controls and size limitations, it's sidelined for now.

[delicate ginkgo]

Embark, please do something about crashes in ranked. I understand that something might be exploited. Today me and m squad played 3 games and had for 3 crashes in total. Also it seems like the new patch brought in a major memory leak, after 2 games I get INSANE stutters

[queen cloud]

ye.. A lot of hidden changes again.
Patch 2.5.0 fked movement
2.7.0 also changed matchmaking, Buffed console aimassist in middle of all that

Now, u can see player's name behind walls. Allows prefire around corners. U say they changed sbmm again. I didn't notice but I believe you

#RevertAPS

[bleak fern]

i cant invite from steam? i thought the update said that you can invite from steam now

[green vigil]

Nerf lights. People abuse their weapons and gadgets to get kills rather than play for the objective of the mode. Most selfish class, little to no gadgets to help teammates as mediums and heavies have e.g. healing beam, defibrillator, dome shield, barricades.

[stable oak]

Does anybody have problems with the Pyro prodigy achievement and not being able to unlock it regardless what you used? Xbox series x btw

[fading zealot]

• Make a shield rework that allows overlapping dome shields to share the same health as to thwart shield spamming from heavy teams along with mesh shield also taking the same amount of damage when touching another mesh shield.

[silent palm]

With the new update i get kicked for using disallowed tools. The "tool" is The Finals Stat Tracker overwolf app, can this be fixed?

[polar marlin]

guys I have a problem with RTX where should I ask for help? I can't enable RTX and I have a 3070

[inner cloak]

I agree the stealing through floors, if that was the reason, was a problem, but having to stare at a trophy to revive isn't a learnable skill

[acoustic gyro]

yo can som1 explain me how the ranking system works cos i've got at least 4 times 3 arrows up but still no rank up and when i win a game i instantly get ranked up (i'm gold 1 btw)

[supple tinsel]

What the fuck were you smoking at embark that made you buff the throwing knives that much ?

[bitter kite]

so i just placed second in the final round and went down 2 arrows, when all day yesterday i was going up 3 arrows placing second round. whats up with that?

[teal minnow]

I saw someone with unlimited coins in a ranked game. I don't have the picture rn because it's on my pc but I'll send it later. I don't know if the person does have unlimited amount of coins or it is just a visual bug at the leaderboard

[thick sorrel]

Bluescreen mid game. Now I'm mad. Never happend before...

[obsidian solar]

I literally reached Diamond only with it and level 7 but ok

[young smelt]

ELO

[upper citrus]

Awareness, gamesense, and timing are all learnable skills that being able to look around while reviving negatively impacts. You are reviving an entire teammate there should be a risk taken.

Also @obsidian solar diamond is an hour counter. Not trying to be rude but you’ve been repeatedly asking for shield buffs and all it needed was a hit reg fix. It’s completely fine now and I play with a friend in ranked that also uses it exclusively. It’s extremely useful for stalling team wipes, protecting steals, and self preservation as a healer. Things that the other medium weapons either cannot do at all or can’t do as well as riot shield. It does not also need to put up good damage numbers, thats the trade off you take when you pick riot shield.

[patent torrent]

configurable (toggle/ptt/ptm) mute button implementation for controller, ability to mute individual players temporarily (per match), this should encourage PEOPLE ACTUALLY PARTICIPATING AND LISTENING MORE, reduce openmic issues for controller users, and make it so that if someone is being toxic in voice during a match, you can just... not have to hear it. Would also help that last one to have ability to report midgame but that takes too long.
would need a quick-report with options that are custom pre-written notes that would be prompted for elaboration on match end for mid-round reporting to be viable.

Additionally it would be nice to have those who are streaming or recording able to mark themselves as such somehow so that way they aren't seen as not participating in voice out of spite or stubbornness.

[past zealot]

Can we get a thermal vision buff, it needs extended range and I understand not being able to see mines and gas but you should be able to see fire at least, the color scheme is just hard at a distance with the grey and greyed out players

[urban marsh]

Is me or the game is freezing so bad either fps drops or server issues after the update 2.10

[forest veldt]

Remove steal 10 cashouts

[strange ermine]

Nah, Light is underpowered rn. They bring nothing to the table in team fights and have too little survivability to engage in them if they did.

[woeful arch]

I've got to say, now that APS consume health upon destroying projectiles Power Shift feels more balanced. Thanks for implementing this, devs, appreciate you listening to feedback ❤️ As a Medium main, I'm totally for it.

[eternal gale]

im really disappointed with the last few patches, weird buffs for weird guns and then also several hidden nerfs like the movement change. also changing the daily challenge rewards to 10k really feels like a sell out move for the battle pass.

[cerulean rune]

Please revert aps back to how it was before this update or at LEAST shorten the cooldown

[cold bolt]

ngl if my reticle is on a cashout it should take priority over any other possible interactable surrounding me, took a zip instead of the cashout with 7 seconds on the clock

also keep the pierce/multitarget bug on melee weapons rn, not bc I think it's balanced but bc I want everyone to suffer

[rough herald]

Fck no, aps to us projectail weapon user is like a infinite hp doom shield, if u think thats balance you're out of your mind

[inner cloak]

Then with that logic we should remove the turret and sonar grenade since it take no awareness, gamesense and timing to use to get free information. Just because it may take more situational awareness before reviving or stealing doesn't mean it is best. With the immense chaos and 3rd partying in this game and lack of audio at times makes it more than reasonable to look around while you are a sitting duck.

[dark delta]

desperately need a solo queue free of toxic duos and three-stack enemy teams

[night rover]

take off penalty to leave if my teammates have already left, kinda don't want to sit around on my own in ranked just to not get a punishment

[willow leaf]

That would really suck because heal beam is horribly annoying. They could just transfer the skins to the healing circle gadget anyway

[digital timber]

thoughts on a Rival system?

[dim schooner]

strongly disagree because it was fun to use and give a little more stability to revives

[wispy sand]

whats up with the new gamelag/delay when leaving a match? Game hangs for a few seconds but audio plays and then you get out (only since patch)

[wispy stream]

cant track any circuit challange 💀

[mild gull]

of all the things that could be wrong with the game, this specimen decides** femboy clothing** is the main threat for its continual existence
this isn't even a problem, there's tons of different clothing and style options in THE FINALS
grow up

[bleak fern]

i agree with awpexx, grow up its just clothes that you arent forced to wear

[sacred siren]

Usually I'm behind the dev team on their decisions, but the APS nerf is completely out of touch (40%???). Its already extremely vulnerable in ranked, as people dont really run it except against double heavy or grenade launcher spam, nerfing this makes it almost completely useless. In powershift it was the only thing thats stopping brainless grenade launcher spam -- and it wasnt even a problem in the first place, just pick up a glitch barrel before you do your spam. Not to mention that now goo-gun counters it completely, just by the sheer spammability of the projectile.

This change cant even be explained by "catering to the casual audience", it caters to literally no-one except grenade launcher spammers in powershift, which I assure you, is worse for the causal audience. Why the hell would anyone want to play hop on and play a casual game of powershift after work only to get put in a d-day simulator where they're getting explosive spammed from every angle.

I dont understand why you guys keep doing this shit but stop making changes and nerfs cause a small, but vocal, part of the community is whining about it. These patches honestly feel like you guys dont play the game at all, but just balance based on people whining about shit on reddit.

[stark notch]

Devs are out of touch with balancing. Are they borrowing the Helldiver's balancing team?

[opaque gate]

Day 3 of asking for haptic feedback and adaptive triggers on ps5

[unreal zephyr]

EMBARK!!
I have something to tell you!
Do you want a feedback for your game?
Here it is: https://steamcommunity.com/id/lukewolfy/recommended/2073850/
It is in italian but if you use Google translator I think you can solve this problem.
In short, I'm very disappointed of all the changes you made on this game, especially all the "balances".
I hate calling them balances because they are not. They are actually huge nerfs that compromise the skills and the team spirit of the competitive player, just to satisfy some noobs or some Light mains who don't understand properly the mechanics of this game.
I hope what you are doing is some sort of joke and you will present something new and fairly balanced on the Season 3 because until then you deserve only this: 🖕

[rancid cloud]

What does the autoclicker do for you in-game?

[violet elbow]

actual brainrot take, there is literally just lots of cosmetics of all different kinds, what people make with them is their business and LITERALLY THE POINT.

if anything people like you shouldnt be playing the game if including other people is a problem to you.

we literally get all kinds of cosmetics with all kinds of themes all the time, you're just angry for no reason and its mad cringe

[novel zephyr]

When changing loadouts in game like Power Shift, why do I have press J twice? I have press J, change my loadout, then press **J **again to lock it in, before pressing **Space **to get back into the fight. Seems a bit unnecessary.

[granite tundra]

so i was playing and i got a system interrity thing is that becaues of a on screan cross hair i a little confused

[pseudo latch]

Day 74 of me begging the devs to give heavy an M134 Minigun as a Specialization.

• 200 Round magazine, ammo is restored two bullets every second, 100 seconds for a full reload.
• 20 rounds per second, eleven damage a round, 220 DPS. No headshot modifier to keep DPS from becoming insane.
• Falloff begins at 30 meters down to six damage a shot at 50, but wide spread means the weapon becomes less effective past 10 meters even against larger targets, you’re probably not getting higher than 150 DPS even as far as 10 meters.
• bullets do high damage to structures (should be breaking walls in 20-50 shots) allowing a mid-range option to output mass destruction (destroying entire walls on higher floors of buildings, ripping apart nesting sightlines)
• • significant damage to structures and players
• • gun can be pre-spooled with RMB over having an ADS (for obvious reasons, you try to aim down the sights of a water cooler)|
• • high suppressive force through sheer amount of bullets being fired
• • its a goddamn minigun
• - Heavy cannot jump or sprint while holding it, has to switch back to primary
• - lengthy equip-unequip time to balance such, no “pocket minigun” strats, choosing to use this mid-combat is a commitment, one that could get you killed.
• - gun has to spool up for a second before firing, spool up being LOUD

[pseudo breach]

Day 60 of asking to put map rotation on a timer for casual. Really sick of getting Horizon and or Vegas 90% of the time.

Also, can we please get South African servers and maybe a latency indicator?

Please fix the poor hit registration 🥲

[tender sigil]

They changed the sound of terminal attack defuse sound so it doesn't show progression

[magic stratus]

Apex does this and it sucks. Please no. keep it random.

us throwing knives enjoyers cant thank you enough

[willow leaf]

Lower rpgs damage to around 50-70 and give it two shots. Give a delay to mesh shield so you can’t open it instantly. Replace the healing beam with a healing circle that you place down like the aps.

Replace the stun gun with a aps type gadget that stuns people like before the nerf if you’re in its circle. Make it so you can cancel a defib revive by shooting the silhouette it makes and make glitch grenades cancel it too. Allow lights to steal cash outs faster and have faster regen.

[bleak nexus]

nope rn its in a good place its more reliable not sluggish if your aim is good enough you stick it if not you are mostly dead

[upper citrus]

sonar takes awareness to use and also is a gadget slot taken.

turret is an entire special slot taken and has counterplay

everyone being able to just look around while they revive was bad and took all the risk out of reviving

[paper stream]

This game is getting worse with each new update. Not sure how you manage that Embark...

[severe wave]

Balancing is absolut shit in this game

[wooden atlas]

Got a few quick requests concerning balance:

• Not to beat a dead horse, but I do think the APS nerf was a bit much. As a goo gun main, I foresee finding it VERY easy to counter APS in the future. I would request either that the nerf be reverted or that the turret be able to take 10 hits or so instead of just 3 (also that it regenerate its own HP while not taking damage).
• I think the game is at a pretty good place balance-wise right now, but there are a few weapons that I think should be adjusted. First off, M11. It feels much too effective at medium ranges, so much so that the XP-54 now feels obsolete due to its longer TTK and smaller magazine. Before its accuracy was buffed, the M11 played much like the SH1900–you had to get very close before you could beam anyone into oblivion. I suggest that this buff be reverted or the damage drop-off on M11 be increased greatly to make it more of a close-quarters-only weapon.
• The 93R, on the other hand, deserves a buff IMO. It has no real purpose right now, since the M11, XP-54, and V9S all do the same job but better. I would suggest either: A) shortening the delay between bursts (for quicker RoF); B) increasing the mag size (giving us a light weapon capable in sustained firefights); and/or C) greatly increasing accuracy and effective range (the weapon has an arm brace, after all).
• Finally, I have a suggestion for a new weapon: the AN-94, as a DMR (designated marksman rifle) for medium. This weapon would shoot in two-round bursts and be very accurate over range (preferably with an optic). It would fall somewhere between the SR-84 and the LH1 in performance—powerful but not insta-kill capable, fairly quick to shoot but not spammable. Medium as a class specializes in medium-distance combat and sacrifices damage per second for damage per shot, so I think this would fit medium’s playstyle quite well.

[warm compass]

about aps 3 of my grenade launcher destroy aps wow embark no one will get in the platform in powershift lets goooooo . embark you so dump , i have idea make the aps consume 6 projectile then cooldown for 12 second better to nefe it

[pseudo breach]

Lol, it's so random for me that I had to ask a few months ago if they removed the other levels. Literally had Vegas 15 times in a row. I quit playing for the rest of the weekend. I've seen some people complain about being constantly put in to different maps.

[rancid cloud]

Counterpoint: Please keep adding things that appeal to niche demographics so that we can have the most varied outfits and that every contestant is visually distinct in their identities. War game suffer from too much sameness. Helldivers 2 suffers from this too; you can change the helmets but at a distance every helmet looks the same. Every Helldiver paint job and suit looks the same at a distance.

In a game as face-paced as THE FINALS, we want to carve out our identity in a VR world where you can literally be anything you can dream of. I like the varied outfits and styles Embark has been putting out recently. I would actually think that some more animal faces would be badass in either headgear or dare I say it, the Faces category! It’s all virtual reality! Anything goes! Anyone who gets mad they got killed by a Discord kitten just can’t handle the head game.

[coarse wedge]

U guys having the same issue can't track contracts

[willow leaf]

Lower rpgs damage to around 50-70 and give it two shots. Give a delay to mesh shield so you can’t open it instantly. Replace the healing beam with a healing circle that you place down like the aps. Also add healing bombs. Replace turret with a manual turret instead of a automatic one. Make it so you have to turn off cloak before you can do anything else like shooting. Replace the stun gun with a aps type gadget that stuns people like before the nerf if you’re in its circle. Make it so you can cancel a defib revive by shooting the silhouette it makes and make glitch grenades cancel it too. Allow lights to steal cash outs faster and have faster regen.

[candid belfry]

Quick cash private match is bugged keep getting one team of 4 please advise

[obsidian solar]

Ok valid point, still the recent buff is not actually true, they need to fix it, because it's very misleading

[upper citrus]

The blocking between hit bug? Yes they absolutely should fix that

[rustic willow]

I don't know about you, but I think they could add them to the game to customize the weapons more, such as adding barrels, sights, grips, etc... I think it would be great, do you agree with my idea or not?

[waxen rover]

Throwing knife buff is going to kill what remains of the console playerbase, well done guys. Literally every single PC player running them now 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[muted ice]

couple things, my contracts are locked until the new ones drop tomorrow, making it hard to farm em up through the end of the season, that and im constantly having to deadslide instead of being able to slide cancel, fairly frustrating experience

[river plover]

APS should not stop grenade launchers, and should start their cooldown upon destruction. Picking up a turret/aps turret should give %cooldown back equal to %health it had left, and it should get autopicked up when further than 70m away.

Nerfing APS like this is goofy, why is the anti-projectile gadget countered by projectiles.
That + its a horrible trade to place down a gadget to stop 1.5 other gadgets

[stark notch]

dome shields break from 10 bullets bro...didnt they add glitch barrels? loooool

@fading zealot you're crying about dome shield spam, I am merely saying they're not that big of an issue.

[hardy bridge]

its a great thing you guys arent designing the game otherwise it would suck

[sturdy pawn]

Remove throwing knives from the game. The new update just destroys the game with unlimited dmg.

[latent meteor]

they buffed them a lot this update

[steep sigil]

can we get the color of an opponents active Evasive Dash to be seen as red? in the heat of the battle, it’s easy to confuse them for a teammate because of the blue color

[magic stratus]

I think the biggest issue is Embark over nerfs to the point where the gadget is basically never used anymore. C4 is a prime example. Why even use it?

[pseudo surge]

to avoid it dieing just pick it up

[unkempt depot]

Can someone make a tutorial on how to play against these throwing knives that the devs decided to buff extrememly for no reason at all??

[gray flare]

Uh I guess it might be useful to make semi auto weapons full auto? But the key binding is f8 and i use an fn keyboard, so i'd have to let go of my mouse to use it, so i haven't actually ever activated it in-game before. i typically just use it for, like, farming tinkers tool levels in modded minecraft

[ashen peak]

flamethrower, shield, bubble, ... every class has counters to knifes lol

[stoic wigeon]

shoot the light

[spark berry]

Movement

[errant sonnet]

I think it would be cool if the anti gravity cube could be used to reverse the effects of a low gravity event. Like you place it down and it’s normal gravity. Wouldn’t be a humongous change but would be a kinda cool feature I think

[wintry sandal]

my game performance is way down compared to last patch. get down to 30 fps during busy fights. didnt use to happen before. anyone else have the same issue?

[willow leaf]

lol what exactly do you have a problem with?

[iron bough]

Ottr is toxic, no doubt, undeserved; There are MANY smaller Youtubers who are not cheaters or toxic, and they choose the opposite xddd

[harsh panther]

Diamond 1s vs golds and low plat is very fair thanks embark

[pale quest]

I'm bit confused patch notes say support added for steam invites but its nowhere to be found??

[languid swan]

why is there fog ever since new patch even in range the bots are white at distance up close are red how do i fix this never happend till this patch

[scenic forge]

Please separate the hat and earphones into two types!

Please separate the hat and earphones into two types!

Please separate the hat and earphones into two types!

[rancid cloud]

Hrmmm… yeah I think the semi-auto gun is balanced at a semi-auto fire rate. You shouldn’t be able to fire a gun without manually invoking the command. That’s a cheat, bro.

[patent sphinx]

And don't forget Goo Gun, which fires projectiles too and even much faster. Agreed, idea of counter projectile gagdet being countered by projectiles sounds absurd, isn't? Even earlier i said that if you make that change, even when APS lose HP by "reasonable" amount of projectiles, players can, and will to overcome that by unreasonable amount of projectiles (one player can carry 3x2 grenades, launcher/goo gun with infinite ammo). Now imagine PS, where players amount per team is 5, and one objective.

[tough radish]

nerf the throwing knives

[hushed lotus]

Fix the ranking system, I was in Platinum 3 with the three ticks up and then I won a full ranked, I was left in the same spot Platinum 3 with three ticks up, then played another one and won one round and I was left Platinum 3 with 1 tick down lmao, that doesnt make any sense.

[glacial oyster]

I hope we get more body options for the female heavy, I want to be able to make my heavy to look like carlea1, who's a heavyweight 6.10ft karate champion! https://i2.paste.pics/R1YD7.png?rand=5Tth42J96k

[quaint sail]

its not your total progress, its just the results of the last game

[wintry trout]

now that throwing knives have finally been buffed, their secondary is kind of worthless
the charge time is far too long and they no longer really provide any benefit over the primary since you essentially get the same speed and distance with the primary now
my suggestion:
make the secondary a 3 second charge up, and if an enemy is on your crosshair and within 25m when the charge completes, it throws 2 knives that seek the target, essentially making the secondary a hitscan within 25m with a 3 second charge time as the drawback

also good lord the M11 and XP-54 are way overtuned
as a light player I get instantly deleted before I can even react to a player's existence
the TTK is between 0.35 and 0.56 seconds depending on headshots landed
if I get shot in the side or back, it takes longer to turn around and locate the source than it takes them to kill me even without headshots
completely busted
even a heavy dies in less than 1.5 seconds with 0 headshots, and with headshots less than 1 second
there's absolutely no reason light needs to do that much damage. not to mention the M11 especially has way too many bullets in a mag. they have enough bullets to do 640 damage without any headshots. there's no reason a light should be able to kill one heavy and one medium in under 2 seconds and still have bullets to spare.
I don't even know what the solution is other than don't give lights fully automatic weapons
or reduce the ammo significantly
they're supposed to be hit and run, not kill the whole enemy team and run
give them like 10 bullet mags so they have to actually hit and then run

[hardy bridge]

shoot them

[last vine]

I have some feedback about the in-game communication wheel. I prefer not to use voice chat and rely on the wheel to communicate. It would be great to have more positive options like "That's okay" and crucial alerts like "Danger." Also, better communication when players are down would help a lot.

I love the game and think these changes would make a big difference. Thanks!

[bleak fern]

audio sucks, hit registers suck, maps too big, servers ping is terrible and people hit you through walls, all things that should have been in the game since day 1

[magic stratus]

Ottr was bullied out from the Apex community. Hate to see he is here now. I don't like him either

[sacred hawk]

Competitive terminal attack when

[quick coyote]

Never hopefuly

[stray rampart]

Embark you really need to address the amount of exploits that's been here and getting stronger and more known as time passes. I know fixing takes time but atleast address the issues

[warm mauve]

Great job Embark, you made throwing knives the most oppressive weapon in the game. Back to Xdefiant I go.

[quick coyote]

I like the finals a lot. I live in Kazistan! I like the finals so much that i sold my wife and cow for better internet so I could play The Finals

[small prawn]

the knife update is actually crazy, who gave that buff the green light

[steep sigil]

ranked Terminal Attack is on my wishlist.

[willow leaf]

Lower rpgs damage to around 50-70 and give it two shots. Give a delay to mesh shield so you can’t open it instantly. Replace the healing beam with a healing circle that you place down like the aps. Also add healing bombs. Replace turret with a manual turret instead of a automatic one. Make it so you have to turn off cloak before you can do anything else like shooting. Replace the stun gun with a aps type gadget that stuns people like before the nerf if you’re in its circle. Make it so you can cancel a defib revive by shooting the silhouette it makes and make glitch grenades cancel it too. Allow lights to steal cash outs faster and have faster regen.

[earnest gust]

I have over 400 hours game time in the finals. The most broken weapon by FAR is the sword. It has the ability to kill a heavy being healed easily, doing a total of 420 damage in 3 seconds or less. PLEASE nerf the sword because it’s driving players away. It’s ridiculous.

[fading hinge]

Hey Embark writing to you again in hopes my prayers are met. Can we please get the nerf we all want and need. PLEASE NERF SWORD AND DASH. There is absolutely no reason a light should be able to wipe multiples with one weapon and one ability. I’m speaking on behalf of all the Competitive players because before all of the players start staying “GeT bEtTeR” it’s just simply not a good look for the competitive players in the future. Between the recent buff on throwing knives and making them very, very strong, swords and dash ruining the Diamond experience and the fact that I’m 375 hours in and this still hasn’t been brought to attention almost makes me wanna stop playing until a sword and dash nerf is implemented

[candid flower]

Nerf the charge slam you can stack it and and just kill a whole heavy with it alone stop touching the meshsheild

[hollow barn]

My suggestions for a better general balance of the classes:

Health pool changes: Light 175 hp - Medium 250 hp - Heavy 325 hp

Regen delay time: Light 6 sec - Medium 7 sec - Heavy 8 sec

[plain lotus]

Qual after qual, but down arrow after down arrow aswell

[real moon]

it confuses me when people ask for nerfs from the stuff that takes more skill to use than a gun, like new stuff being good means that we will see a change in the weapons everyone uses aka the meta will change, i think thats a healthy thing so the game doesn't feel stale

[iron bough]

They didn't nerf heavy, instead they buffed light, the sword exploit is still there, and can now be applied to throwing knives hahahahahaha. This is a circus, do yourself a favor and play just ONE quick cash game and see what is happening. The game is full of EXPLOITS!!!!

[wise falcon]

Hey where's that dummy that tried to tell me that voice chat wasn't broken?😂 Also this seems like an update that could have just been bundled with the new season considering it's incredibly meek.

[odd pond]

please stop posting this, none of it makes any sense.

[rapid pike]

The new knifes are wayyy overdone xD

[foggy ginkgo]

Knives arent op your all just sub par players with no movement nor aim 😮‍💨😂

[plain bolt]

The new knifes are a bit too op rn. 3 stacking on point and 1 light knife player can obliterate you

[unique nimbus]

Game is very broken for me. Please fix locked shotgun reloading animation and sometimes game refuses to shoot. I found a way that reviving a player can break me free again to shoot.

Also when teammate leaves tournament, you should not be punished with a derank because I lost a game. This is beyond toxic feedback to me as a player. I can invest time and have someone else throw the game and be punished for it.

At least have it be a no loss like in Apex Ranked, if a teammate abandons the game not only do you get no downside to losing, you can still gain XP for winning and both leave early with no punishment.

[low stump]

CAN SOMEBODY EXPLAIN WHY I AM GETTING 2 DOWN ARROWS WHILE MY FRIEND GETTING 1 UP ARROW IN SECOND ROUND ELIMINATION WE ARE BOTH PLAT 1 AND I WAS TOP FRAG. SAME SITUATION HAPPENS ALWAYS IS MY ACCOUNT CURSED OR SOMETHING WTF. EVEN WHEN MY FRIEND WAS PLAT 1 AND I WAS PLAT 2 I WAS GETTING DOWN ARROWS EVEN MY RANK WAS LOWER AND HE WAS GETTING 2 UP ARROW. CAN SOME EMBARK EMPLOYE ATLEAST TELL ME WHAT TO DO FOR UP ARROW BECAUSE I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. WHAT KIND OF ALGORITHM IS THAT. ↓ I HAD MORE POINTS THAN HIM AT THE END OF MATCH I CHECKED WVERYHTING DIDNT HAPPENED ONCE BTW WE PLAYED TOGETHER ALL DAY AND HE WAS PLAT 3 I WAS PLAT 2 AND WE HIT PLAT 1 SAME MATCH THIS SHOULDNT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN <@&1012034066876473384>

[manic compass]

You may have had the most kills, but how was your duos combat, support, and objective score?

@remote drift and that shows what you know abt the system, as you get different scoring for each round, the final arrows are just the previous round

[quick coyote]

Krill issue

[remote drift]

@low stump
@manic compass
Apparently, personal skill doesn't matter -- it's just based on how your team places. Except there's this weird thing with "visual rank" not being the same as "mmr" and it somehow converges to it instead and all that jazz... I've heard they're revamping the rank mechanism in Season 3 (I certainly hope, anyway). I'm sick of making it to the semi-finals, even the FINALS and getting ranked down for it.

@quick coyote
is apparently accusing you of being a whale

[native scarab]

when is the freaking invisibility nerfed man its so unfun!

[dark delta]

STOP GIVING ME SILVER TEAMMATES VS DIAMOND ENEMIES THANK YOU

[cloud jungle]

The latest patch introduced a nasty bug on controller that removes the option to map a button to just 'Equip Weapon' instead of 'Interact and Equip Weapon' when using 'Directional Equipping'.
That's a real controller nerf in ranked especially since it will mean accidentally interacting with stuff when meaning to equip your weapon - which can and will be the difference between life and death sometimes, so please please please revert this.
And while you're at it: please reinstate using 'Equip Weapon' as a reload cancel as it used to be in Season 1, since reload cancelling using a gadget/specialization can be very inconsistent because the gadget/specialization can be on cooldown.

You're forced to look around to properly equip your weapon now. This is insanely clunky and I'm unable to play until this is fixed.

THESE SHOULD BE SEPERATE BINDINGS ON CONTROLLER. THERE ARE ENOUGH BUTTONS WITH AUTOSPRINT

[glacial oyster]

please have more body options for the female heavy, I want to be able to make my heavy to look like carlea1, who's a heavyweight 6.10ft karate champion! https://i2.paste.pics/R1YD7.png?rand=5Tth42J96k

[stray rampart]

People are complaining about the exploits that came out with em, not the weapon itself. And just because it was weak at one point that doesn't mean it should fire faster then a minigun and Thanos snap people outta existence

[twilit dew]

APS Turret now consumes health for each projectile it destroys
Love this change!! please make it so APS turret cant block from underneath too.... that makes no sense to me. through floors.... why...

Tracking Contracts are not letting me track Master Circuit challenges for Week 3.

[paper basalt]

here me out an entire day of savings for the finals and maybe a partner with amazon

[fair pulsar]

i have a question.. how is it that a fatty/heavy can intercept you by running normally, and consistently hit you 3 times, while you playing as medium build, that is running faster than heavy?? it makes no sense.. not to mention the range of the heavy's hammer is quite far aka too far a range of an AoE damage.

[echo hinge]

Where can I suggest a new game mode ?

[fair peak]

revert knife changes

[river hill]

Yes Embark. Put me in a match that's about to finish

[foggy ginkgo]

@plain bolt How about shoot the light that’s a great idea 😂 like how are we really sitting here complaining about lights the most bottom of the barrel class. If your 3 stacking on a point and non of ur teammates can kill one light that the epitome of skill issue bud😭. And @native scarab its already been nerfed your poop. And even before nerf it wasn’t bad just skill issue.

[plain bolt]

Don't have to be rude about every feedback here dude

[nimble valve]

Am I the only one with can't track contracts for the master circuit

[eager gyro]

Tracking master circuits contracts feature is NOT working. Please fix!

[surreal meadow]

APS changes are near perfect, maybe a bit still too matchup dependent and overall strong, but definitely a step in the right direction, removing "after thought" gameplay

[burnt notch]

anyone else unable to track contracts with the new patch?

[pale quest]

yep none of my friends can track it too

does anyone have bug where community quest damage not counting?

[sinful acorn]

Dude, Playing ranked and my healing beam doesn't work for any round, even after death. why

[pseudo relic]

Can anyone track their circuit contract?

[glacial oyster]

pretty please have more body options for the female heavy, I want to be able to make my heavy to look like carlea1, who's a heavyweight 6.10ft karate champion https://i2.paste.pics/R1YD7.png?rand=5Tth42J96k

[remote swallow]

Not Me

[uneven spade]

Any word on when we are getting a healing beam fix? Its been in the game since beta and i havent seen any dev acknowledge it

[snow hornet]

ISSUE TYPE: Menu Bug
There is a bug with the tracking of contracts currently - after the recent patch i am able to only track "Daily" contracts and will not track any of the recent "Master" contracts.
I have tried tracking via right click and clicking the "Track contract" button on screen but neither yields a positive result.
And no, i don't already have 5 tracked out of my 5 tracked contracts limit.

[remote flint]

fix contract tracking pls

[dark delta]

I WANT AN ACTUAL ANSWER WHY DO THEY KEEP RIGGING MY GAMES GIVING ME NOOB TEAMMATES VERSUS DIAMOND PLAYERS????

[warm compass]

nerfing shield again stupid embark . you destroying the game

[quick coyote]

Also having issues with the tracked contracts after the new update

[gleaming mango]

Can't track career contracts only dailies

[fair pulsar]

happens to me 80% of the time

[lavish shard]

Nerf nerf nerf i dont like this nerf nerf

[cinder ridge]

i think for the game feedback instead of "we played poorly" you should be able to tell the truth and say " both my teammates went a combined 3-12". if you want honest feedback you have to open the conversation for honest feedback.

[willow leaf]

What doesn’t make sense?

[clever hawk]

RPG still does 140 damage half a year into this game I see, 93% of one third of your classes’ health bar, on an AOE, high-velocity ‘gadget’ given to the healthiest class (disgustingly fat) with the most utility.

Just tragic.

[shy token]

More upper back and crossbody customisation please!

[jade inlet]

aps already got a counter with glitch barrel. aps was already easy to destroy. constant nerfs is not a good way to balance a game imo

[wise jolt]

keep time before 1st knife spawns. time between knives. damage and velocity dont need to be changed.

[junior igloo]

got an idea for a sledge skin. There's a racket sport called squash that I play. You get the idea. "The Squasher" or something

[tribal olive]

honestly more body types would be cool

[sinful acorn]

it's vegas map, everytime i try to use healing beam on ranked there, doesn't work. 2nd time now.

[hollow breach]

Embark are you filling your games with bots? like genuinely are there bots in this game?

[lime nexus]

YES the healing beam does get bugged from time to time but its not just on vegas ive had it happen on SYS horizon

[remote drift]

@manic compass
Um... that's what I heard from other people. Look through this history -- I don't give a single crap how the ranking system works. It's broken. I should not be getting to the final round with 21 kills, 10k+ support score, and a cashout, lose, then rank down afterward. I don't know how my rank is calculated, and I don't care. It's set up stupid however it is.

[iron bough]

21 bugs, 5 exploits, 3 critical errors, and counting Embark.

[past torrent]

I thought they fixed the cheating issue. I just got on and played against a team full of people with aimbot and wall hacks and somehow they werre flying around the map too.

[young drum]

i really miss being able to rez while turned around. like why was that taken out

[warm compass]

stop asking for nerf stupid dumy community

[fierce valve]

The lack of acknowledgement of the current exploits going around is insanely disheartening.

[void vine]

Game feedback: we code something new but break something that’s been in the game for a few patches

[paper basalt]

need more body options and add more color variety inside the game their isnt any red barely any green and to many black cloths and no purple we need to focus on colors

[knotty orchid]

I can't track any of my contracts I even restarted the game and still can't track contracts (console player)

[willow leaf]

Lower rpgs damage to around 50-70 and give it two shots. Give a delay to mesh shield so you can’t open it instantly. Replace the healing beam with a healing circle that you place down like the aps.

Sir.. I understand, but also..
I did not need to open that 😵‍💫

[fast atlas]

Same here, PC Steam player

[cinder ridge]

keep the throwing knives teh same but put dmg back to 60 or even 59

[misty drum]

a guy called SADLYLATE#9710 is cheating on my game he's on steam

[glacial sierra]

ditto

[sharp herald]

nvidia cards with amd processors and getting stutters lately probably caused by some weird update that installed the AMD graphics driver - I got rid of it and it fixed my stutters and shadowplay - posting on the off chance it's useful - I didn't install the driver, it came with a thing for my processor

[valid cradle]

I can’t track my contracts 😦 flippin CNS mannnnn

[lapis juniper]

Who thought it was a good idea to get rid of the "equip weapon" (not "interact and equip weapon") mapping option?? Now you have to look away from interactables like zip lines, doors, barricades, turrets, etc to select your weapon wtf

[glacial oyster]

worth it

[odd pond]

there are much simpler changes that could be argued than any of yours, which are mostly changes so drastic that they completely change the game. Many of your ideas should be separate gadgets/abilities, not the changed state of existing utility. RPG as you've described is just one of the launchers. Delay to mesh shield would make it worthless, and there is already a noticeable delay. Replacing the healing beam? Really? THE CLOAK ALREADY TURNS OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN YOU TAKE ANY OTHER ACTION!

[oak pike]

More than anything else I'm just so impressed embark managed to turn the game in to such an unfun piece of shit.

[novel gust]

Up until recently my game ran buttery smooth without any issues. It as only recently that the damn game stutters like crazy and i barely get 100fps. There is no way this is normal as I would get over 300 previously, what was changed in the game that is causing all of the stuttering and lag?

[lapis seal]

I think a minigun specialization for the heavy would be really cool

[queen shale]

i want a magic battle pass. turn the pyro grenade into a fireball skin. the goo gun into a worm that throws up goo. the data reshaper a magic wand. smoke grenade a smoke in a glass bottle. gate way a magic portal

[worthy imp]

u should see the sword glitch and fix it

[tight bison]

yeah

[thick stump]

i didnt like the new balance changes throwing knives are straight up OP APS health decrease is too much and removing the ability to punch in mesh just made the mesh less viable

[cloud sonnet]

APS should lose like 25 or 10% a projectile

[flat solstice]

Thanks a lot for adding the community event progress and leaderboards! Very nice 😄

[rugged temple]

Tk is a viable weapon now and isnt op, I agreed that aps got overnerfed and I'm pretty sure meleeing in mesh was a bug

[glacial sierra]

the community leaderboard in-game shows me as 0 damage and 'unranked' but the online version is showing me with the 50k odd and 5000 rank as of the last update it did.

[tepid blaze]

off topic this is VERY important, can we stop using the weird super long hoodie model for all of these items, CNS hoodie cranium hoodie DXZ hoodie its really bad and needs a rework or make it based off the valentines day sweater

[junior sphinx]

add and subtract some new and old gamemodes for people to get exited about old ones coming back

[mossy marlin]

stuck a loading screen but can hear the gameplay happening after this new update, also optimize this game please

[olive fulcrum]

ty embark. you make good game when no one else in AAA industry will make good game.

Other companies just manufacture the same thing over and over. No innovation. No inspiration. Just trend hugging, lowest common denominator horse-hockey.

Embark made the idea to instead make some inspired. Embark make Art (but with lots of $$$$).

Thanks for making Art and not a product. Holy smokes. FPS has never been more dead-in-the-water. But here you guys are saving it all by yourselves. EMBARKING on greener pastures, broader horizons- saying goodbye to the same old same old tactical shooter + copy pasta MOBA heroes, watered down CoD simmulator that don't offer engaging mechanics, and instead aim to let every player be able to llive out a meaningless power fantasy of one-shot one-kill.

Thanks for making fun game. ttyl bye

[remote steppe]

stealing a cashout should give you a little bit of money imo. Also i know it's been mentioned before, but uncontested cashout should give a bonus

[pseudo latch]

Hey yo Embark, Politely

The fuck is this nonsense?

[vast obsidian]

Why should the platoon mate himself exit the game and the two remaining players have to bear his consequences? The ranking system is a piece of shit

[lapis juniper]

The update brought back the glitch where you can't pick up barrels you've dropped sometimes

[vocal yacht]

They need to COMPLETELY remove the buff, Throwing Knife was already ok before

[spice stag]

?? the buff puts the weapon in line with other light weapons

[jagged cedar]

now do the same thing with any light weapon, do it on a moving target, do it from range

[floral hedge]

track contract button is broken for the masters circuit stage 4 challenges?

[frank knot]

More career levels plz

[foggy ginkgo]

Literally pull out any other light weapon the ttks are nearly the same. Everyone crying is the reason the games in the state it is.

[north jasper]

Same

[quartz shell]

nerf charge and slam, make it hit max 2 times and when killing an enemy it ends but make it longer

[rose garden]

Make the Riot sheild should count towards support score like the mesh sheild

[wanton harness]

Make the contract for stealing a cashout in progress be team based.

[karmic ember]

@polar perch

[crisp heart]

The strategy that some snipers use of dashing directly into you and hipfiring is exceptionally lame. The sniper should not be a weapon that encourages hip fire use at point blank range while moving at mach 2

[regal gust]

What's going on with all the pink reward items? And honestly the rewards for the last circuit contracts are not good. The CNS glitch hoody and the CNS outfit was Kool but I think the glitchy clothes shouldnt be an average thing now

[wide oyster]

I am having the same issue on PC

[digital thorn]

Just wait until this guy figures out headshots

[upper citrus]

there are still things that need to be nerfed. the "stop nerfing things" blanket statement doesn't really make any sense. lewis gun and rpg are still incredibly strong for unhealthy reasons. "buffing everything else" isn't going to fix that. these items need reworks that are net nerfs.

we also got a huge buff to an underperforming weapon today. embark is thankfully starting to buff the weak stuff. but things still need to be nerfed

[dense tinsel]

The data transformer is performing terribly. Its range and coverage area are horrible, and today I repeatedly experienced aiming, tapping to activate, and it NOT transforming the turrets, but still deducting the use, making it unusable until it recharges. It hinders the gameplay and is very unhelpful if it performs poorly and has such a short range.

The game keeps crashing out of nowhere.

The final team points screen freezes for a while before being able to return to the menu.

They nerf the projectile turret, but they keep buffing the light class. It doesn't make sense.

Game crashes every 30 mins now. If it doesn’t get better I’ll stop playing. Please fix

[patent torrent]

• I like the new aps change but does need a little tweaking to make sure its just right;
• movement feels more sluggish on light and medium? Like sprint got slower?
• medium riot shield hit registering is delayed compared to the swing animation. What happened?? it was a lot snappier at one point, I thought.
• weekly challenges untrackable, previously tracked removed from tracked.

Higher level cap please, also throwing knives are crazy busted now. Felt like they were at a good place before

I would still love it if MGL grenades detonated on enemy contact. It just ends up being too awkward trying to use close up or from high/awkward angles.

Game isn't tracking progress on the event, anyone else? Website and in game

[next raft]

I reckon with the Sword, players shouldnt be able to hold lunge attack while using evasive dash.

[shrewd comet]

I for one am definitely not okay with the changes to the APS system, it only protects from 3 grenades and then destroys itself. With how many people use grenades, grenades launchers, rpgs, etc., it's no longer of use at all. They might as well have removed it from the game with how useless they made it.

[cinder ridge]

It shouldn’t take so much damage but there should be a limit. For a gadget that respawned fairly quick it could block thousands of aoe dmg.

[stark notch]

3 goo gun shots too lol

[frail prawn]

Try that on a real player, now its really rewarding, used to be hard to use and not rewarding at all, also, what's the issue? the TTK? all of the other light weapons are faster an easier to use, even worst, all the other classes weapons are still faster to kill, this weapon now finally has a similar TTK, yeah, you don't need to reload, but its also a projectile based weapon waaay harder to use against real players

All of the people trying to get this nerfed hasn't tested on real matches and even worst, they dont even compare it to other weapons

The nerf to APS was a little too much ngl, maybe 20% HP per shot instead so it could destroy 5 projectiles

@vocal yachtit was OK??? it was the slowest TTK weapon on the game, even when its also the hardest to use, I dont understand how people can think it was okay? in which sense? you had less range, worst TTK, a projectile based weapon, what was the upsides? than you dont need to reload? even when each shot used to take like 1 sec (when most weapons kill light in 0.5s-1s) so most of the time you didnt even had chance to shoot ONCE before getting killed

[remote swallow]

anyone else cant track contracts?

[cold aurora]

Same 👆

[unreal fossil]

Honestly that TK buff seems unreasonable. It's pretty insane up close.

Meanwhile, braindead GL spammers got their arch enemy the APS turret nerfed into oblivion, so that they can now completely ignore what used to be their only real hard counter. An immobile, fragile and small radius hard counter, to be precise.

Not really liking that update tbh.

[atomic dust]

put in text chat so I can say gg to the other team and be very respectful and ask how they got so good

[jagged cedar]

diamond has lost almost any skill significance as players who should realistically be in silver can easily attain the rank. So many players have just pooled into the rank that what should be high elo, high skill lobbies are filled with morons who cant do basic macroplay or math. For what is supposed to be the highest rank, it sure feels like a sort of participation prize.

@unreal fossil the tk buff just puts it on line with other light weapons while the gl desperately needed something. Gl coping is definitely a new low tho

[hasty trout]

I can't track my contracts since the update :/ PS5

[gritty umbra]

i was ab to say i cant track em either

[versed rampart]

if this game has any sbmm, it needs to be way stronger. I’m not trying to be rude or anything, but I have never played another game that gives me such terrible random teammates. I’m struggling to rank up in the ranked tournaments because almost every other game I get teammates that look like their brand new to the game, or even to first person shooters in general. In the past couple games I’ve had a teammate that tried to cash in vaults to cashout stations that are already activated, several that pushed fights when at low health and just hipfired when they were the last one alive on the team, and way too many that start cashouts near the end of the game when we’re already in first place, and end up losing the game because of it. I don’t know if it’s that the sbmm is really weak, but I frequently get double the kills of my teammates (if they even get kills at all) and I still keep getting them in my lobbies. It’s getting so frustrating that I’ve stopped playing the game for a while several times already.

[teal minnow]

Can't yall be happy for once😭? like mate everyone wanted buffs ,they gave buffs now everyome wants nerf

[swift crater]

when is throwing knives getting a level 7 lol

[cloud jungle]

The latest patch introduced a nasty bug on controller that removes the option to map a button to just 'Equip Weapon' instead of 'Interact and Equip Weapon' when using 'Directional Equipping'.
That's a real controller nerf in ranked especially since it will mean accidentally interacting with stuff when meaning to equip your weapon - which can and will be the difference between life and death sometimes, so please please please revert this.
And while you're at it: please reinstate using 'Equip Weapon' as a reload cancel as it used to be in Season 1, since reload cancelling using a gadget/specialization can be very inconsistent because the gadget/specialization can be on cooldown.

You're forced to look around to properly equip your weapon now. This is insanely clunky and I'm unable to play until this is fixed.

THESE SHOULD BE SEPERATE BINDINGS ON CONTROLLER. THERE ARE ENOUGH BUTTONS WITH AUTOSPRINT

[willow leaf]

I wouldn’t really say any of my suggestions are extremely drastic except for the change to healing beam, but I think that one is warranted as healing is horribly annoying.

I honestly don’t understand how you think the rpg would just be a grenade launcher with such a change. The heavy grenade launcher takes over a entire mag to destroy a wall and it’s grenades bounce off surfaces too. The medium one takes two mags to destroy a wall. Meanwhile the rpg takes one shot. The rpg is also a gadget while the grenade launchers are main weapons so they’re completely different.

There is most definitely not a noticeable delay for mesh lol. It takes less than a second to open. It also wouldn’t make it useless it would just not allow heavy’s to lose 95% of their health and then press a button and be safe. It’s straight up just annoying. You should actually need to plan how to use it effectively instead of it just being a reflex get out of jail free card.

Yes really a healing circle would be vastly more fun and balanced compared to the healing beam. What exactly do you like about the healing beam?

Instead of getting mad you should take your time to read what I said. I said you should manually turn it off before you can do anything else like shooting. In the current state you start shooting while still invisible.

Also you said everything I said didn’t make sense but then listed only 4 things you disagreed with sooooo

[fast flare]

k thats still targets tho

To all that say "TK are op" or "they were already fine" they were not. A projectile with a relatively long charge, with a pretty useless secondary attack. It was 3 bursts for a kill, which is much longer than it is now, and longer comparing to anyone.

@pseudo latch Take your same test using LH1, or FCAR, both. You can say dagger 1 shot is broken because it can 1 tap. The TK are projectiles in a fast paced game with a range falloff. EVEN IF it has a faster ttk or dps, you need to do 1.6x or 2.3x the dmg of the respective class to take them in a 1v1. and the knives definetly do NOT have 1.6x the dps of the fcar

[pseudo latch]

God forbid someone uses a neutral test region to show off how quickly something is capable of killing people.

[fervent blaze]

[cold crystal]

how is it fair that im silver getting paired with a duo bronze light in a full gold lobby? what is this mm?

[sacred siren]

you realise that things on paper can (and probably will) behave different in practice right? on paper a 3 stack of d1s should win every game but that doesnt happen in practice. on paper throwing knives should be able to clear entire lobbies but in practice they dont.

people that complain about something being too good on paper when it sucks or is untested in practice should just go play chess tbh

[rugged temple]

It basically has the same dps as automatic guns tho, except it's burst projectile dmg. It's useless at range and harder to hit too.

[stoic marten]

You take the most flak when you're on target, ignore the babble from the people that desperately want to drive this game deeper into the pits of DEAD. The buff was mind numbing and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the dev's feigning ignorance to the more severe issues with the game. Just know these are the same people that are crying about turrets and yet try to DeBuNK ur claims when they themselves can't kill a stationary APS or Turret LMFAO

prAcTiCe RanGe InvAliD 🤡

[cold bolt]

throwing knife buff has been fine from a ranked perspective since it doesn't change the fact that lights are still a throw pick, it's just useable, not particularly strong

from a qp perspective it's definitely THE pubstomp weapon now, it's very easy for decent players to get 15+ kills in a match of cash out

once again the dichotomy of casual vs ranked experience being very different

[violet elbow]

Throwing Knives Buff was fine and healthy, the weapon still kills at around the same Speed as any other given light weapon but it has:

• no ads sens
• insane projectile drop
• travel time
• is incredibly unforgiving on missed shots

its the double barrel if it wasnt shit and had what basically is infinite ammo, which imo would be the only thing to fix with TKs now, give them a Genji-like reload animation and a projectile count before having to "reload"

[gritty umbra]

wait does fire effects now follow your statue when you die?? like you cant pull a body from flame? also melee weapons are glitched when you pick up any carriable and your weapon will will block yoir view

[marsh turret]

Question for the devs. Now That our pink set for the community event is maxed out and we'll be moving into new iteams / sets can we get the pick set in the outfit section? Where it shows all the battlepass skins? It just makes it easier to see what I have and if i want to equip everything at once.

Thank you 🙏

[shut scroll]

Please eliminate the bright white flash on respawn. It hurts my eyes and causes headaches.

[pseudo latch]

I mean im not even calling it busted, I just think theyre Goofy AF

Raffika is halfway to unusable and they make the throwing knives the best burst rifle in the game

[fast flare]

against a class that is meant to be quick on the feet, and making plays to dodge and win off of outplaying, the turret is strong. The autolock denies any outplay-ability the light can have. It is simply a skill leveler. It makes a low skill class med able to have a chance against a high tier light player. (also saying they cant kill a stationary turret is idiotic... Its not that people cant kill a still object, its that people get popped while killing the stationary target in fights. Its an extra target that you have to kill. Dont make stupid arguments if you dont understand the gameplay -_-)

This isnt to say the turret needs a nerf, possibly a slight adjustment, but I think its fine how it is.

The buff is needed. It does pretty much the same dps as all the other good light weapons, same as the strong med weapons. Again, at least at the current state of the game, the light class needs to do more damage to be fair. The whole class is glass cannon. High Offense, low defense.

This is a small patch, obviously gearing up toward a bigger patch when season ends in less than 2 weeks.

Practice range tests are a closed off test. It should be used for only the bare minimum of tests. DPS, TTK, interactions between items, practicing. Not actual combat power. people will move, people will fight back, walls exists, AOE explosives exist. So yes, in combat power, practice range is invalid. Please dont talk to a weapons combat power without using it

Also I dont see why it shouldnt be the best burst rifle in the game... Again, light is a glass cannon, it SHOULD have the highest DPS of all the classes....

[olive wraith]

Make sure the total damage counter can go over the total amount. I want to see how much we destroy this challenge >:)

[stark notch]

handling turrets is so easy dude. learn positioning. be 'quick on the feet' 🏃‍♀️ 💨 , quick on the mind 🧠 👈 . don't walk in mindlessly 🧟 in a room with turrets and people. I always break LOS (line of sight) from enemy players and shoot down turrets. hmmmmmmmm how bout glitch nades? or the newly added glitch barrels !!! 🤩 how bout goo nades/barrels blocking the turret? have a teammate take care of it for you. dash away. grapple away. cloak away. if you cant play around a stationary object that takes forever to lock-on with a limited view radius then I can't help you

@willow leaf wheres the people crying in team fortress 2 or overwatch? Lmao.

[hardy bridge]

try killing them that quickly when they're also moving and shooting back

[stoic marten]

against a class that is meant to be quick on the feet, and making plays to dodge and win off of outplaying, the turret is strong.
Heaven forbid Light gets countered.... Oh SHIT GLITCH NADE WATCH OUT
just kidding Light isn't allowed to be countered

It makes a low skill class med able to have a chance against a high tier light player.
oh wait so light having highest dps with massive mags / no reloads ( ⚔️ ) instah deleting chip damaged players doesn't fall into this line of reasoning? Apparently it's not hard to get surprised by a loud af turret with shiny lights and lazers on it, so I wonder how cloak and dash compare 🤔

Its not that people cant kill a still object, its that people get popped while killing the stationary target in fights. Its an extra target that you have to kill. Dont make stupid arguments if you dont understand the gameplay -_-)
The gameplay entails teamwork, not one single class solves all I don't make the rules, the silly overbotch inspired directors do 😢 Maybe one day I'll learn to remember for every turret, there is a medium crouched in a corner in the adjacent room and that I shouldn't run into every room juiced up on Prime... WHO DOES THIS????

Please dont talk to a weapons combat power without using it

@jagged cradle ay don't ping the man him self

[jagged cradle]

@pearl kiln game is great, love it and looking forward to the upcoming season.

All final players want the studio to continue the fantastic job and do great ( make $$$,$$$,$$$,$$$ )

I'm gonna stick around(since BF2 days) non the less but I'm just pointing out something we all know, finals is a team based game which I love regardless of playing solo and hoping for decent teammates everymatch 😅... But a lot of gamers don't have the patience today... And I'm pretty sure the majority of gamers are solo players... I want you all to make crazy money so that you can keep this game alive for a really long time,

Probably these suggestions have been thrown many times but here goes,
-Maybe new modes that keep the solo players engaged... Even a deathmatch could be a start without too much on team emphasis for the casual crowd
-i love the fact that the core of the game is based on teamwork so, maybe like your daily contracts pushing team work type of encouraging challenges, that should continue but maybe also have more rewards (cosmetics) linked to this so that solo players would be incentivized to play the team based modes even when there are options for solo modes ( the illusion of choice works wonders )

Game, balancing, drips, everything that you do... I love it... Surprised at the Aps nerf but will see how much the game changes because of that.. looking forward to playing the game later today!!!

[polar prairie]

Why would you do controller binds like that in the new patch? Its almost unplayable

[sweet mango]

idk whos idea it was to buff throwing knives that should be reverted in the next patch

[thorny jewel]

agreed

[snow hornet]

Good points. Everything has a counter in this game it's just up to people whether they have a counter in their gadget/equipment set ready for use.

[jagged cedar]

melee lunge actively pulling me away from my target despite my inputs that should be pulling me towards my target. If you're going to add a feature that overides inputs on a precision weapon, please add a toggle!

[teal dock]

I have completed all of my contracts and I enjoyed most of the quests. It encouraged me to play things I normally wouldn’t and it allowed me to give weapons that I didn’t like originally a second chance. I would like to request that the steal a cashout mission be removed going forward because it requires you to be losing for you to complete it and it encourages your team mates to interrupt your steal so they can get the credit.

[odd pond]

So, these are “not drastic”:
-reduce rpg damage by over half and double ammo
-give a longer delay to a SHIELD ability in a game with sub-1sec TTK on many weapons
-replace the entire gadget
-add an entirely new gadget
-manual turret??? in a futuristic Battle Royale? Just block the damn thing.
-another change that would make the ability useless. You understand how little survivability lights have, right?
-replace the entire gadget pt.2
-the silhouettes are a response to the previous insta-revive problem, and are fine. At this point, why not just say “remove defibrillator”?
-let’s make the devs’ lives harder by splitting more stats between each individual class, further complicating already labyrinthine game mode, class, weapon, ability, and gadget balancing.
It sounds like you want to play a tower defence. Things aren’t stationary turrets for a reason. If you think these changes are easy and necessary, go make your own game.

[tough gazelle]

the medium grenade launcher is either oppressive or useless, if you're running ads it's practically useless if not you're SOL

[broken stream]

Fix your anti-cheat please i just got kicked for drag clicking my mouse. I guess the grenade launcher is balanced and fun to vs but drag clicking right click is a bigger issue

[fast flare]

Again. I was explaining the argument against it. I also followed up with "I think its fine how it is" as I dont see it as a threat. Healing beam /heavies are much scarier imo, I dont care for the turrets, keep them the same 👍
also tf you mean limited radius? it only sweeps in a limited radius, but can hit everywhere if its hit or is tracking. Not only that, but if you play against skilled players, they will corner the turret, making it see the entire room / cashout area

@stoic marten
Notice how I said 'strong' and not 'overpowered?' I said that because there are many ways around it.
light is countered. many times. Heavy is a pure light counter. Medium is a pure light counter. Dont act like light is the worst class in the game BY FAR in the currect meta. I am assuming high tier ranked gameplay.

It takes skill to use a projectile weapon. The lower skilled TKs user will not be able to defeat a high tier anyone. Again. Light is a glass cannon. High offense for low defense. the TKs are not even the best light weapon, I really am confused on what you are thinking.

Again. Light is the worst class in the game. No question. Anyone in Diamond, Plat, probably even gold will tell you this. The amazing synergy of Medium and Heavy outweighs anything that a light can do.

The TKs are not strong enough to stop this from happening. If you had an Esports tournament in this current patch. I almost guarantee there would be at most 1 or 2 lights in the entire event who actually are serious on winning, and I guarantee they are not the winners. The TKs arent strong enough to change the meta, everyone will still run 2H1M or 2M1H.
Light has had broken weapons from the start. Again, LH1 is still the best gun in the game, and the sword is insane. I would argue the XP-54 is still better than the Tks, but i need to test more

complain abt it all you want, it doesnt change the fact that light needs a buff, and (at the top tier gameplay) the class isnt good. 🤷

[cold stirrup]

hello embark feedback collector, you will now receive the following feedback:
market the game more! the original closed beta trailers and marketing were absolutely top notch. the game at its core is already set up for absolute fun and especially esports with the tournament setup. it just needs more marketing. keep doing what was done during closed beta. the whole "CAN YOU REACH THE FINALS?" is great messaging and invoking a challenge upon the viewer is already just a great hook into the game. you only hear about this game through the content creators it has, or through friends and while hearing good things through others is great its entirely susceptible to faults that could/are present
ill be a sign holder at an intersection telling people to play the finals if i have to. just market more :)

[shadow hound]

Don't know how many times this has been raised by other members of the community. The game is amazing I literally have nothing bad to say about it. However not showing ranked points or lossess to me is terrible. The always wondering if you will rank up or down is making ranked unplayable for me :(

Lower rpgs damage to around 50-70 and give it two shots. Give a delay to mesh shield so you can’t open it instantly. Replace the healing beam with a healing circle that you place down like the aps. Also add healing bombs. Replace turret with a manual turret instead of a automatic one. Make it so you have to manually turn off cloak before you can do anything else like shooting. Replace the stun gun with a aps type gadget that stuns people like before the nerf if you’re in its circle. Make it so you can cancel a defib revive by shooting the silhouette it makes and make glitch grenades cancel it too. Allow lights to steal cash outs faster and have faster regen.

[high moss]

Changes I want to see in the finals… 1. Less visual clutter. If you ever actually looked at the fire effect you’ll come to notice that it litterly towers over your character. It’s practically Impossible to see through, even though fire is mainly meant to be a damage dealer. You could fix this by making the fire look like the fire in csgo, which is low to the ground and has no smoke, as it’s a gasoline fueled fire. Same with gas, as it acts as a smoke grenade a dmg dealer. I don’t rlly know how you would make gas more transparent without making it less obvious to the player that it’s there, so devs gonna have to figure that out on their own. Another instance of visual clutter is the smoke caused by building destruction. Yes it’s what makes the destruction look good, but it takes too long to disapate, meaning that if the whole building, or even just part of it, comes crumbling down you won’t be seeing for a long while. It’s to the point we’re most players learn to simply follow the name tags as most of the time they can’t see the person to which the name tags belongs to. Last type of visual clutter is the UI. Not only me but my friend and many others have experienced times where some dead corpse will get in the way of seeing an enemy or objective UI. One time I was trying to shoot at people on the point in a power shift game, but because there where so many people clustered together I couldn’t even see the silhouette of someone past all the name tags. I would sugest adding a setting to increase the opacity of UI. Next message I will cover how I want spawns changed in the finals.

[idle thistle]

balance your game more than half the weapons are unusable or borderline griefing and the respawns are broken

instead of nerfing one thing at a time to the ground or buffing it to be meta can you just give weak buffs to a lot of the shit weapons and give weak nerfs to a lot of the meta things, because right now you either make something unusable (like you did with double barrel, stun gun or cloak for example) or buff it so much it's broken

[timid jay]

The throwing knife ttk is so fast :(

[slow abyss]

I think buffing light and nerfing heavy should be a focus. There are countless suggestions for light, so i will list some of my ideas for heavy:

Heavy wepons dps should be lower than medium. Currently heavy has more health, higher dps, more damage potential and better gadgets while medium is just like 7% faster. The slugger also needs to reload faster and do more damage as it is way to weak.

Dome shield should have a timer (~3s) before activating because it can be used mid fight as a cheese.

RPG is used all the time, and should probably be nerfed. I think it should do less damage and have a faster cooldown. I would also decrease the accuracy further and increase the ads time. This would make it weaker when used to start fights but be more useful for destruction.

Mesh should also have a timer before activating (~2s) so that it can't be used as a way to avoid fights when you have bad positioning and has to be used more purposefully.

Goo gun (and all goo) should be able to have multiple contact points as currently destroying a wall of goo that took a while to create takes less than a second.

Right now, medium heal beam and defibrillator are to strong but medium is to weak damage wise. If heavy is nerfed than I think it would be fair to nerf those items as they are to strong.

Defibrillator shouldn't have respawn immunity. The entire point of the nerf was so that you could camp respawning players, but the medium can start healing while they run behind cover with immunity. A second nerf if it is still overused is to take away immunity while respawning.

The heal beam should ramp up in speed, staring with no healing for 500ms before increasing to normal speed at 3s. Taking damage should reset this. You also shouldn't be able to have 2 heal beams on one player. This should make heal beam less useful mid fight and reserved for recovering from fights.

Light does have strong gadgets, it just needs more dps to compensate for its low health.

[rugged temple]

Its abt the same as lewis, except a projectile with travel time

[remote scroll]

please fix bug that cant shoot after revive. please also fix new bug where teammate cant heal heavy after getitng hit by heavy's charge slam

[high moss]

Ok so with spawns in the finals it can’t be only me who feels that they are killing the game. For me, most of the excitement I got was from clutching the last second steal at the end of the game. Back then the game could go anywhere, and felt more like a sport then a game with all the excitement. Now when I play the game it just feels like I’m aim training, and the only games I win are the ones in which I dominate over the other team, and they have no chance. I really noticed this when I was playing ranked on the final round. I’m silver 2 playing with two other random queued silvers, while the other team is triple medium fcar/ak loadouts two golds and a “bronze” how name was “imbad97”, which i think we all know is a Smurf. As you would expect we got dominated on, but the real kicker was how they waited to put in the cashbox before we spawned causing us to spawn at the very edge of the map. The vault was at the suspended structures and we where all they way back at the Monaco garden area. I don’t think it takes a non-dev to understand that you should spawn close to the vault if the cash box is NEAR it. For the rest of the game we literally couldn’t make a clutch play as we were spawning always halfway across the map from the vault. PLEASSSEEEEEEEEE revert the spawns back to how they were to allow clutch plays and make it so you spawn close to the vault if it’s near the cashbox. I think that this should at least be put in quick play as the game lacks the excitement it used to have. It’s the reason why so many people complain about the meta, because now you have to dominate your opponents to win, so of course your going to want your favorite weapons to be good so you can dominate your opponents. If you allow for players to get to the objective quicker for clutch plays then they will have more chances to steal the vault of the team that’s dominating them. Add this change in with quick cash first and see if more competitive players like it, only then add to ranked.

[void scarab]

day 3 of asking for this:
can we get a rework on the dagger? it's still a fcking joke that when you 'backstab' someone in the face, it deals 50..
when you do a normal left click swing, you deal 50....
a quick melee is 45... sorry but if you get stabbed in the face, you def only hit 1/3rd of a lights HP ...

I would suggest making a 'missed backstab' deal 100 damage, the left click is still more favourable then, even though i would say it needs to deal something like 75 damage per swing

[idle thistle]

Instead of nerfing one thing at a time to the ground (or buffing it to be too strong), can you instead give a lot of weak buffs to bad items and weak nerfs to the meta ones until it's more or less balanced.
Because right now you are just making things unusable (or overpowered) from one patch to another...
It's good that you nerf overpowered items but they still have to be usable ffs.

Also the respawn points are broken => we activate the cashout, get wiped and stolen defending it, and then we respawn 200m away from it and can't try to retake it, atleast give us a chance to take it back. Sometimes you respawn so far from both cashouts that your only option is to wait for the cashout to finish and the vault to spawn...
The starting spawns are also often broken, some teams will respawn 20m away from the vault and others 100m away, that or some team will have a positional advantage.
And that's just talking about the team respawns, sometimes vault and cashouts can also give an unfair advantage to a team, but that's less of an issue.

How can I report huge performance issue since the last patch? Has it been addressed?
CPU: Ryzen 3600x
GPU: NVIDIA 2070S
4K with Performance DLSS and medium settings (kinda)

Some map suffer it more than others, I can't remember the name, but the season2 map is almost unplayable with frequents freezes. Game was running fine (stable 59.9FPS) on the same settings and hardware before the update.

[versed bridge]

Quick melee does 40 damage
I'm happy with dagger as it is, it doesn't need buffs
Left click damage being 75 would be way too much

[quick magnet]

Is it just me or can I not look around while interacting (reviving or stealing cashout) on playstation

[wheat turtle]

Can i please stop getting into matches that are practically done

[vestal basin]

it doesn't hurt to ask your teamate/friend

[tawny karma]

that is whats supposed to happen

[hasty pelican]

This, failed backstabs should be somewhat punishing

[fast flare]

this is right for like all the wrong reasons... 👍

[fresh shell]

1M structural damage progresses way too slow.

[rough herald]

Light is not under power

DO NOT BUFF LIGHT!! other wise we will have the same heavy vs light problem but its light vs medium this time
just nerf the porblem child aka heavy weapon dude and we're gold

[shadow anchor]

just use sledge, rpg and c4 lmao

[tall wave]

new bug where im able to see enemy health bars and ping enemies through walls. ALSO make the stun gun stop abilities again

[dusk matrix]

my idea for a light buff would be making light throw grenades and similar gadgets faster than the other classes. like just speed up the animation and it would make sense because light are the fastest class

[glacial oyster]

we need more body options for the female heavy, I want to be able to make my heavy to look like carlea1, who's a heavyweight 6.10ft karate champion, I mean look at this! https://i2.paste.pics/R1YD7.png?rand=5Tth42J96k

please I would do anything for ya to give the fem heavy body options to look like that, I would even pay 500$ for it!

[plain ember]

Add Terminal Attack permanently and give it a ranked mode ^^

[high moss]

After reviewing the chat here what I agree with: Agree that dagger should be both punishing yet super rewarding. And I agree what wacky said about heavy and all suggestions by him look great! Seems like others agree that spawns suck. And I totally agree with doing bigger changes to the meta rather then just messing with the numbers of only individual items per update like ne3zy said. I don’t know what’s going on with the performance of things so can’t comment on that. Wouldn’t mid ranked terminal attak, but I think that at its format it should ONLY be ranked, because to many servers will cause server strain. Also on the topic of skins I would love to be able to by individual items of older bundles. Also for a lot of the skins the models are the same but the cooler is different, so it would be nice if you could package skins with the same model into one group for organization

[vestal basin]

embark finally decided to give us free and legit wallhacks to counter the low profile cheaters (walling)

[pseudo breach]

I've had this a couple of times now as well in Quick Cash. They just tear down everything and not sure why

[slow abyss]

what does that even mean?

[cloud jungle]

The latest patch introduced a nasty bug on controller that removes the option to map a button to just 'Equip Weapon' instead of 'Interact and Equip Weapon' when using 'Directional Equipping'.
That's a real controller nerf in ranked especially since it will mean accidentally interacting with stuff when meaning to equip your weapon - which can and will be the difference between life and death sometimes, so please please please revert this.
And while you're at it: please reinstate using 'Equip Weapon' as a reload cancel as it used to be in Season 1, since reload cancelling using a gadget/specialization can be very inconsistent because the gadget/specialization can be on cooldown.

You're forced to look around to properly equip your weapon now. This is insanely clunky and I'm unable to play until this is fixed.

THESE SHOULD BE SEPERATE BINDINGS ON CONTROLLER. THERE ARE ENOUGH BUTTONS WITH AUTOSPRINT

[stark notch]

must be their recon senses rework solution lol

[young smelt]

Dude has copy and pasted this request several times. Weird af

[fast flare]

@slow abyss
Light has strong gadgets, and also has a lot of DPS

that would make mesh shield unusable

goo gun isnt really used like that too much at high tier gameplay

medium isnt that weak damage wise, but i mean fair they do need a readjustment for healbeam and defib

the ranmp up and damage reset would make healing beam useless. Tick damage would be WAY to strong

careful of making heavy dmg too low, it might make the class generally boring to play.

that would make dome shield pretty bad

sorry i replied in a bad order, but pretty much all of the things you touched were (at least imo) things that need changes, but either for a different reason or a different way of nerfing them.

[arctic canopy]

anyone felt weird about revolver after the update?
somehow It felt off by a lot for me and my teammate

[torn dagger]

Does anybody else have a problem with not being able to track contracts from mater circuit stage 4 ?
I can track daily contracts but not master circuit

[glossy drum]

same. I think its global issue

[thick sorrel]

Nice summary, but which strong gadget for Light do you mean? @fast flare
Stun was the only strong gadget and is busted now.

Light is still not picked in ranked because of his non-existent team gadgets.

Heavy provides tons of shield.
Medium heals, revive, provides mobility.
Lights has what? Gateway is mediocre at best.

@uneven rampart What is better than 1 RPG? 4 RPGs! (CL-40)

Why is MGL32 not overused? Because it's much more difficult!

[urban marsh]

Does anyone have this bug were i can t track missions for the circuits ?

[exotic sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/hop-on-the-finals-tf2-team-fortress-2-meme-gif-6539983010219196946 HACKER CHEATER LOSER 🙂

[uneven rampart]

This whole mess of a patch needs to be reverted.

Not just because of the exploits

But also due to the APS change, the game has been filled with CL 40 users cause they see it as a mega buff to the weapon.

[toxic spindle]

The sonar grenade has a glitch where it tracks opponents permanently that I’ve had happen to me a few times

[scarlet galleon]

Cannot track any contracts

[quartz cedar]

Since the patch 2.10, Goo now blocks melee swings from sledgehammer, instead of letting the hammer pass through and hit the player behind / in the goo.
This was not mentioned in patch notes, is it intended or unintended? If intended, please consider mentioning it in your next patch notes. No one likes shadow nerfs.

[fast flare]

They have strong gadgets, but 0 synergy. TLDR: u right all thr good util is universal, rito plz fix :D

On its own, pyro nade, vanish bomb(if they revert invis nerf), gateway, glitch nade, goo nade, stun gun can all really work well with lights kit, but really dont synergize with anyone else. I think u right tho, most of what i just said are all universal gadgets. They defo need to fix thermal and tracking dart, or just completely change them for something else... idk man lightis goofy

much more difficult for less reward*
at least CL-40 doesnt maek me 1 shot to gas tick :(

@uneven rampart ...no? APS change is good and needed. nothign wrong with more CL-40 users atm, they'll die down later and a normal amount will play it

[slow abyss]

@fast flare @thick sorrel glitch grenade and gateway. gateway basically ensures you start every cashout and is very good for positioning. besides those ur probably right about most the gadgets being bad. before fcar nerf, heavy had lower dps than medium and it was still op. when i say lower dps, heavy to medium ttk would still be lower than medium to heavy ttk cuz heavy health, but a 250hp heavy would lose to a 250hp medium. mesh shield would still be strong when used as a team, the entire point is to make it useless as a way to escape fights or drain their ammo before unmeshing. the goo gun suggestion was a buff, the point is that it would be more usable. medium has the lowest dps out of all the classes with not much damage potential to make up for it, yes they are weak dps wise. healing beam would still be useful between fights, like how the turret start-up time make it not good to use mid fight. i agree that the nerf to the dome would be bad, so maybe a hp buff is needed to go along with it. i also don't like how people can destroy the dome through walls it sticks through. Yulaw, heavy's shield are annoying to fight and aren't fun when used mid fight to cheese. medium would still provide support, just between fights not during them. healing mid fight is less fun than shooting. I agree now on second thought that light no longer has many good gadgets. i didn't say anything about the MGL32, i said the slugger (ks-23). most of the reworks i suggested aimed to make things work only between fight or with your team, so they aren't a cheese.

[stray rampart]

Seriously agree. I like the balance direction but the method and numbers are crazy, goes for both

And since I'm here, embark please take some time to figure out what's wrong with the barricade collision box

[river hill]

After dealing dmg to a player--you can still see their health bar through walls lol

[violet elbow]

Heavy weapons killing faster than medium weapons will never make sense

Heavies are tanks, they should always win a straight TTK trade, but a heavy should not kill a medium faster than another medium

[mint lintel]

God all idiots and bad takes here, Knifes feel like a ranged weapon now KEEP IT UP DOGGERS FIRST DAGGER WE FIX IT BOYS

[lean coral]

maybe follow in the footsteps of any other game with a rank system and make it so if you lose with a dc on your team, it doesnt count, UNLESS the person who dced is in a party with you, or you're the person who dcs

[timber hazel]

The buff to throwing knife might just been a little teeny wayyy overturned but thank you embark. It’s better than playing/facing off against the same two gun for the past 2 season.

[mortal rose]

game still full of cheater

[violet cairn]

I cant track my quests

[flint pecan]

fix this gah damn healing beam bug holyyyyyy

[delicate notch]

Small thing not really significant but I noticed it. The music and the intro don’t seem to match anymore like they used to. Was kinda bothering me yesterday 🤣
(Quick Cash)

[mild sundial]

So we all can't track quests?

[tender minnow]

game got noticeably stuttery after recent patch pls improve performance

[mental needle]

Embark, why did you change the control settings again? I've been playing with my layout for 200 hours, but in this update they changed the interaction and main weapon buttons. Now I just can't play because of habit. Can you separate them? This applies to controllers. Please divide these buttons into separate ones, which can be assigned to the same one. That is, on the triangle, for example, I had the main weapon, and on the upper crosshair - interaction. I'm already tired of relearning. JUST. NOT. CHANGE. CONTROL.

[mint lintel]

bro just change in controls

[burnt notch]

Lmao

[quick magnet]

They must’ve fixed it then before the update you could spin around while interacting

[zealous lark]

Bugs spotted after last update (not mentioned on #game-announcements) :

• you can no longer look around capturing/reviving. I guess being able to look was a bug that was fixed, as it was not mentioned in update log, but i think its a little to harsh? Maybe i am just feeling it wrong, but for clearance i still want to mention it
• team respawn countdown after wipe out on the left-up corner appears on wrong team. For ex. if orange got wiped out, the timer appears on purple team instead.
• enter game animation and win animation doesnt show your character in the middle of the team
  Also throwing knifes appear more frequently in matches. I would say they are kinda meta now, witch is very good. Love the idea of different viable weapon options

[night surge]

massive nerf for heavy S3

[idle thistle]

why massive ? the goal is not to make it unplayable, like they did with light

[latent charm]

A small system of suggestions could be added through signs before starting the game. (Like the systems we already have within the game that allow us to point out what we need when voice chat is not connected or fails)

With the purpose of telling our teammates what we need them to have equipped (Gadget, specialization, weapons) in order to complement each other and promoting teamwork even before starting the game.

What do you think of the idea? Support it if you like it so you can see it.

[low valve]

everytime they've nerfed something, they've gone completely overboard anyways, resulting in a playerbase nerf lol

[jagged cradle]

Not being able to track the new contract... Just fyi!

[opaque gate]

Day 4 of asking for Adaptive Triggers and Haptic Feedback on PS5

[void scarab]

you can just press 'J' (i think is the default key) to open your teammates loadout so you can see what they're rocking

[sharp jasper]

I’d rather they nerf something completely to the ground and slowly bring it back to where it sits perfectly, rather than back and forth nerfs and changes to things

[rustic birch]

HUGE but GOOD changes for the APS turret ((imo))
• make it so only damaging throwables (grenade, pyro, etc) and grenade launchers damage the APS when "deflected"
• also make it where the glitch grenade glitches the APS when deflected instead of doing damage, and the gas grenade go off wherever it got deflected by the APS, without doing damage to the APS
• also also remove the ability to place the APS turret under the powershift platform

[lavish shard]

Yes kill the heavy is just play in ranked good idea 👏👏
But heavy need smart nerf
Rpg
Lewis dps
Charge dmg

[quick coyote]

why cant I track contracts anymore, and why don't the ones I've "tracked" appear on my tab???

[low valve]

By then players will lose interest and just leave the game for good, since it makes no sense to play a game you dont enjoy anymore, i mean its not even that hard to see, no need to go that overboard with nerfs.

Every major nerfs they did so far (afaik since Season 1) they went overboard.

[gray idol]

Can we please have ping amount/server info displayed somewhere in game?
