Ok so i dont play sward, i hardly play L, but what you guys did to the sword is criminal. I never feel hard done by by a sword user. theres always a fun game of footsies before i get staunched by a skilled player with sword. Not like when an invisible DB player two shots me as a heavy in the back. In the future, if things seem un balenced, rather than nurfing, buff everything else. Honestly people love being glass cannons. make evereything stronger. The recent nerf to sword just took it out of the game for many people. its sad.

I don’t mind not being able to kill mediums with 2 lunges. But we really need the 1 tap on lights. The resources you have to use to kill a dash light without 1 tapping even if u do get the kill which doesn’t happen often, leave u like a sitting duck for his team.

No cool down for class spec and gadgets for fun ONLY in practice server
The grapple hook keeps pulling u in a wall unless u cancel it but it would be better if u could stick to walls for a few seconds and u can aim and shoot but it's for a limited time to avoid camping,maybe even a wall jump from the wall u grappling to.

The 93r time between burst is weird and not fun to use,make it so there isn't a gap or less time gap between burst and u can slightly nerf damage since u r increasing fire rate but the damage fall out is longer so there is a balance since due to recoil u can spam it long/medium range.

Add fanning revolver for light with incendiary bullets but they r projectile but hit hard,u can use fanning action to quickly fire bullet.

Ks23 needs a headshot buff 1.2x,wall penetration and NO bullet deviation.

Breach charge should break smaller holes in walls so lights can minimise exposure that large destructon has right now, because u have 3 charges u can still make bigger holes.It should still stack damage.

Every feature or damage for high skill sword is needed for high rank.
Also phantom strikes.
Sword is too slow than bullet and it don't have any ability for one shot kill M and H, for melee weapon, that you don't have consume ability, you NEED to win if gun player make huge mistake (don't save gadget or be sneaky attack).

Sowrd player need to dash when the sword moving and help sword to make damaged for high movespeed player.
Embark, you will destroy this weapon.
You have a easy way to clear skillless sword in casual and low elo match.

JUST add some easy counter for the new player to kill skill less sword.

Buff explosive mine deployed time and buff RPG to 120 damage.
And add a feature to that quick melee can clear mine.

SHOW the weapon in scoreboard in game

To help player know weapon information in casual to counter unique weapon.
In rank, old player would choose right gadget to help himself to against unique weapon or playstyle when it have problem or poor to against something.

** Remove VS system and let the all gadget to new player**

All of them is the right thing to against melee, grenade launcher, sniper or something especial playstyle.

WTF Embark.
APEX have been huge complain when they want to nerf or remove movement, there has a lot of player like movement for FPS game, that is fun.
WHY you just make a lot of high speed weapon dead, ex model ?
they can go to play CS or VAL.
WHY they complain will succussed for something from beta to S6?
A lot of old player think this game become boring and leave to play another game.
I've try to bring 10 above friend into this game, teach them and have fun in this game only bc I'm love.

WE NEED new feature to make new player easy to learn this game and make teamword more easy.
NOT NERF

Everything would be ruin if you are a LAZY and only want to MAKE MONEY in The finals.

You want to ruin this game for everyone ?

This game is become boring and undiversity to player.
Again and again.
WTF.
SO SAD TO SEE THAT.

This is a stretch of a suggestion, but as I've stated before, adding new melee/unique "gimmick" weapons without nerfing the already existing ones would make the game more interesting and it'll drive home the point that this game values balance between preferred playstyles without being a CS/Val/CoD/BF clone.

How about considering adding in a Baseball Bat weapon in the game, turning the bat skin for the sword into an actual weapon with almost similar characteristics as the sword but different secondary fire attack? and perhaps the ability to throw/bat projectile gadgets further?

AND, how about we improve Spear to have it Charge up and THROW the spear as it's secondary fire, and add in a new weapon to replace the spinning move the spear did, perhaps a long sword maybe?

There's also an idea that has been lurking around here about a Kusarigama, which isn't a half-bad idea for a light. It would be similar to the Dagger (without backstab crits), but has a range secondary fire that can act as a mini-grapple and lockbolt to any opponents that were hit by it and finally fulfilling the dreams of people who wishes to be like Levi Actaman from (AoH) Attack on Heavy. why not consider it as well?

I assure you, the more INTERESTING and FUN "gimmick" weapons the less people would get annoyed by the already existing ones (sword) and more people who likes the melee playstyle would be inclined to use such weapons if added.

Also, please revert sword, for I am one of those people who likes fun "gimmick" weapons.

You are asking Embark to redesign aspects of the game, ok I guess, they will not do it. The fact that the light class has a large amount of options in terms of weapons but when one weapon is nerfed, the whole class goes riot, that's hilarious. The Finals has a responsive dev team and yes, sometimes the balancing is not great but it's not a triple A game. And for any free game, The Finals has one of the most awesome and cheap cosmetics, saying that they are only trying to make money is a bit ridiculous.

Revert sword damage to 140 and remove phantom strikes, you can also stop listening to youtubers for balance, If you are gonna give us that bullsh*t reason ""too opressive"" you can give the same treatment to every other weapon in the game, especially shotguns.

It wasn't because of any real imbalance — the sword got nerfed just because of complaints from players who simply have a skill issue.

Embark shouldn't cater to clueless voices who don't even know how to use the weapon properly. The sword already had a lower TTK than most weapons and required you to be in close range, which was a major drawback. Now, thanks to this ridiculous nerf, it's become one of the worst weapons in the game.

Meanwhile, ranged weapons remain strong even at close range, but the sword — which only works in close quarters — got nerfed because of whining from people who couldn't handle it. Revert sword now.

You ppl should stop complaining abt weapons one shotting lights. the class is literally the one with the smallest amount of hp. a gun thats more powrful against lights might not be as powerful against heavies. meds have the median health.

for actually accurate statements, use the question "does it one-shot medium?"
obviously lights are going to get one shotted by lots of weapons. cerberus two shots a light. the wiki literally says that. and fire ignites on ur opponent only if at very close range. so only then is it gonna be one shot kill.

and also, when u hit one shot and the opponent is on fire, it takes time for him to die entierly by it, so theres a shit ton of chance they could two shot u as a med with it before they die.

cerb complaints are genuinely dumb shit. it has a considerably long reload. is only good at firing close range. and "one shotting" lgihts is the dumbest argument ive ever heard. have u ever seen how much time it needs against a heavy? so just because the lights are getting one shotted means that we make it even worse for attacking against heavies?

just know how to play better. this isnt one of the model problems where the gun was genuinely broken. all the complaints come from quick cash lights after they lost a match. nor is this a gadget that can be countered by other gadgets. it purely requires skill.

not the one to like saying this, but get better 😦

So sonar nades have been bugged for OVER A YEAR, giving you permanent walls sometimes against opponents for the rest of the match.

Instead of nerfing weapons, work to fix the game breaking bugs, not being able to shoot for example.

The priorities of these game studios will always baffle me. Make ten more cosmetics then keep game breaking glitches in the game for years to come.

We're 6 seasons in, it's long over due to fix these issues please.

I think really the best thing to do for the arn right now is cut back SMG ranges again. The problem is it’s still comparatively worse than the xp-54 in most situations, if it was exclusively in league with the LH1 in terms of range than it’d fine imo.

And on top of that the xp-54 contends with the mediums rifles at mid-long range which is frankly just silly. It’s basically an easier to control AK. I’ve got no issues with it or the m11s dps I just think that max dps should be contained to like 15-20m with a pretty steep falloff.

Just make the SMGs actually SMGs not just lil rifles.

Since nukes are pretty much history now, wouldn’t it make sense to give throwable objects some extra purpose? Feels like they were originally designed to be used with mines or C4, but with all the anti-nuke patches, that combo's basically dead. So why not give them a new role? Maybe bump up the impact damage from 50 to 100 (or make it based on distance/weight). Honestly, I’d even love to see it go up to 140 if you throw the cashbox. That could open up some really cool plays—using them as an emergency weapon in a fight, or risking a box throw to finish someone off (though if they’re fast enough, they could just catch it mid-air).

Revert Sword Lunge to 140. Removing Lunge+QM combo vs Light when Light kills Light fast with literally anything is nonsensical. Only change needed = Fix phantom strikes.

Sword was balanced.

  • No synergy with Dash = Would be too immobile for Light melee that needs multiple hits
  • No QM synergy = Breakpoints would be too slow for Light melee that needs multiple hits, requires not overshooting lunge to make it harder to aim at you, must stop right beside enemy to QM
  • No full damage multihit = Would be useless if >1 enemy, in melee as lowest HP class but 0 breakpoints hit on anyone except first, pick a gun for ranged non-multihit damage
  • No lingering flicks = Would be too readable for Light melee that needs multiple hits

Sword is the single worst weapon in the game. Not only is it melee on lowest HP class, you removed every single breakpoint fast enough to work vs even remotely competent players.

  • Vs Light: Lunge+QM = Must be 110
  • Vs Medium: Lunge x2 = Must be 125
  • Vs Medium: Lunge+QM+Primary = Must be 136
  • Vs Heavy: Lunge x3 = Must be 117
  • Vs Heavy: (Lunge+QM) x2 = Must be 135
  • Vs Heavy: (Lunge x2)+Primary = Must be 138

Your own patch notes LITERALLY imply Sword wasn’t unbalanced but got nerfed due to complaints. You separately address Sword as a “gameplay” change to make it less frustrating. Then you separately addressed “balance” changes, saying Cerberus, Pike, and FAMAS are over-performing but you won’t nerf them yet. ```On the gameplay side, (…) nerf to the Sword's secondary attack, aiming to reduce the frustration (…)

Finally, Balance-wise, (…) standout contenders like the Cerberus, Pike-556, FAMAS (…)
(…) monitoring several items based on their performance (…) like
ly to make some adjustments (…) coming weeks. These include the Cerberus 12GA, Pike-556 and FAMAS (…)```

Sword feedback does not matter

as long as a melee weapon is competitive it will be hated and called "gimmicky"

the community will always call melee users "glue eaters" or "unskilled" and just tell them to learn how to use a real weapon

a part of your community will always feel chaffed and their hours in aim trainers will feel invalidated by someone who doesnt train hours a day to get more headshots being better than them

its a no-win situation, you either make melee useless and just an ego booster for people that win against them, or have people always mad that someone can win in a different way

adding melee was a way of adding a type of variety to the game some of your audience hates, they just want a cod with destructible enviroment

the only way you are going to make them happy is by removing melee weapons or making them useless.

just add a no melee ranked queue, its the simplest solution.

-SR-84. oneshots light in the head
-Sh1900. one shots light if at least 10 bullets hit
-M26 matter. if at least 10 bullets hit it combos with quick melee to "oneshot" light
-Throwing Knives. one shots light in head with alt fire
-CB-01 Repeater. headshot combos with quick melee for a light "oneshot"
-Cerberus 12GA. if all bullets hit it combos with quick melee to "oneshot" light
-R.357. headshot combos with quick melee to "oneshot" light
-Dual Blades. if both of the second attacks in the sequence hits it combos with quick melee to "oneshot" light
-Sledge Hammer. alt oneshots light
-Spear. alt fire "oneshots" light if 2 of the 3 swing in the alt fire land
-Frag grenade. combos with quick melee to "oneshot" light

honourable mentions
-Charge and Slam. the initial burst + the slam "oneshots" light
-Sword (again) and Riot shield. because they are melee weapons

+1 to this.

Last night I had a team of two drop out, then 1 drop out in the very next round. The same rule as in WT needs to be implemented in Ranked. If a teammate drops out they can be penalised, but then you should be free to drop out with zero RS loss.

I get there might be a risk for cheaters to grief the rule. But losing RS because of solos dropping out is killing Ranked for casual players.

Likewise, you need to add casual modes for PowerShift and any other modes that have had leaderboards added to them. All modes should have competitive with leaderboards, and then casual modes without. That would help clean up the problem with all game modes becoming so sweaty since S5.

One thing that isn’t super problematic but I find a bit unfair. Wench is a lot of reward for only being able to hit one single shot. I think for the power of grabbing someone within a pretty solid radius regardless of being in the air or on a platform is just a bit much for being able to hit a single shot. I’m not sure exactly how to do it but it should be a bit more skillful. It’s not really fair a person can be controlling recoil hitting head shots and the entire engagement is shifted because a guy can hit one shot. Not a huge problem but something I’ve felt for a while about wench not op but too much power for not enough skill.

# sterile canopy why would someone run the XP over the M11 if such a change was made?

It has a higher dps and is easier to spray up close? The xp should be slightly easier to control and slightly more consistent at range because of its lower recoil. They just need to be balanced within their weapon class, not that complicated.

Just don’t want a bo3 or titanfall 2 situation where the smgs are just better ARs. And with their range characteristics they’re pretty dang close.

I'm a sword main, and this new lunge damage nerf is disgusting. Even with the intention being to make it less oppresive against lights, this is way too much. Any light with a somewhat decent reaction time can now beat a sword. Additionally, mediums no longer die to two lunges, making it a lot harder to kill them, and heavies have gone from 2 lunges and a slash to 3 lunges and a quick melee, which is enough time for almost any player to kill a light. This has made sword, a weapon that already isn't used that often over better guns, to a nightmare to use. Sword was one of my favorite parts of this game but now I don't know how I can reason with myself to use it. Please revert this change, it was the worst thing that could have been done.

FIX. THE. CHEATING. ISSUE. I understand that the majority of the playerbase doesn’t know how to recognize a cheater as soon as they see it, but anyone with a lot of time in competitive games can EASILY recognize when someone is using walls, and then when you die you see they’re level 14 or somewhere in that region. This is not a small issue, and it’ll only get worse as the game picks back up momentum. I would saying with full confidence that at least 40% of the PC crowd is cheating, console has xim and zen but that’s a different conversation that embark can’t solve by themselves. Easy anti-cheat is awful, we all know this because of Apex’s cheating problem, look what happened to them. You’re gonna start losing players because of this

This games balancing improves at a snails pace. It’s been almost a year and a half, not including 1 alpha and 3 betas, and we aren’t even finished nerfing the overpowered primaries (cerberus)

Mediums class identity has been eviscerated by overnerfing defib and healing beam while buffing close range options (Cerberus) and then not giving any cool utility to the class??? Medium has the same amount of gadgets that it did on launch. How??? It has the most potential for interesting gadgets and specs.

Light is a horribly designed shitshow that scares away casuals and has 1 viable playstyle in high elo. When are you redesigning the specs that only get value based on enemy mistakes? Invis blows if your opponent is good at spotting it. Dash is horrible if your opponent can aim. No wonder the class eats shit against good players and frustrates casuals until they quit.

Heavy’s specs have been dumbed down a ton. Goo gun has been shadow nerfed a lot, mesh had its skill expression removed with juggling, winch is still not telegraphed???

Half of the items in the game have the status of “literally never put this in your loadout if you want to win in any serious environment.” How?? It’s almost been two years.

Shit like Cerberus gets gigabuffed one patch and then goes unmonitored and ruins ranked and competitive play for months. Maybe be quick to walk back a change after buffing a weapon 3 times in one patch???

Cashout is still miserable. Team spawns, vault spawns, cashout spawns, third parties, all or nothing gameplay, griefing, being punished for other teams mistakes, etc all make knockout rounds horrible to play.

3v3 is STILL all or nothing for some reason??? The gamemode has enough downtime in the first place but then the points system means only 2-3 of the fights in the entire ~12 minute round actually matter.

I’ve always been super defensive of this games dev team and balancing because every new team shooter suffers from bad balancing at first. But this isn’t a new game anymore. And you’ve stated in multiple dev comments that you actually think the game is well balanced. There’s no more hope left for any player when the devs of the terribly balanced game come out and say “oh we actually think the game is in a great spot”

This game needs something to change fast because it’s clear you want a competitive future for the game. But your balancing is atrociously bad. You’re losing your most dedicated players because they’re tired of waiting for it to get better.

This game is supposedly in the most balance state it has ever been yet in truth we have around 6 primaries and like 3 speccs that are entire jokes across the board regardless of skill level, to the point that these things that I will go on about are either insta loss conditions and usable at best

Over the course of the first year of this game since its launch, this game has tried something unique to shooters and thats trying to bring in weapons that are commonly considered either power weapons or whatever you wanna call em

Embark has stated openly that they want their game to have their arsenal of weapons, whether its a gun or a melee or a special weapon, to be at the very least in a somewhat viable way for players to truly engage with rather than just be a fun having thing that will never see the light of day in a serious environment. (Thats my ad lib anyways, not a word for word)

Point is, they have failed to really done an effort into make this comment a reality, for example;

-Spear
-Flamethrower
-Goo gun
-Guardian Turret
-Dual Blades
-Mgl
-China lake
-Riot Shield*
-Dagger*
-Throwing Knives*

This list from the very worst its basically a joke to very best, usable

Personally there are also other issues with some other weapons like sword but I will get into that lil devil on the suggestion part of this shout to the void

My observation from this entire list that I bring up its truly the lack of a genuine kit to even engage properly or rather when they do engage in where they are supposed to be used, theyre simply just so terrible and number go up or number go down as a solution will genuinely NOT FIX THE ISSUES and would create frustrations instead

My suggestion is quite simple honestly and its expanding the actions players can do with these weapons. A third action for melees and a secondary action for special ones.

I will get into ideas for the weapons and speccs in the list in the follow up cuz well text count limit

The improvements to the social system are great, but a request to join party option would be nice, as well as some way to see if you’ve been invited to join a party when you’re in game, or after the game. As is, you kind of have to sit in the lobby waiting until your friend with 1/3 or 2/3 in the party is idol in the lobby then send an invite.

Revert the sword change or at least show us what data there is on the sword needing this. I am genuinely curious how it compares to other L weapons? It takes dozens- hundreds of hours to make the sword viable in ranked and now it feels like sword players are fighting against the balance to stay on par with other weapons. Yeah it still dominates in unranked low tier lobbies if you’re good. As does any high skilled player 😭. If anything, nerfing it is only pushing these players towards less competitive modes.

So solo comp is painful already. So why do I get loaded in with the same incompetent duo in back to back games? And why do those two first round defeats equal an entire tournament victory in rank points. I don’t understand.

These stupid, incompetent jerks complained that melee weapons are "annoying" and got them nerfed, but I've never seen an FPS use something so irritating as a balancing factor before. These freaking idiots say that using a sword requires zero skill—nothing of the sort. They’ve probably never even used a sword. Of course, swinging a sword, dagger, or hammer takes skill. But these fools have never tried it, so they just don’t know. Then, whining about how annoying it is and insisting it needs a nerf, they incited the crowd and ended up nerfing the sword. It’s all because of these dunces who don't know how to handle it. And on top of that, I know that Appoh and his followers were the ones saying it was merely a “skill issue for the folks getting wrecked by the sword,” but then they suddenly switched their tune, incited people, and completely killed the weapon.

You pissed off at these suggestions? Yeah I would be too. All of these suggestions are shitty as hell, and are exactly what sword just got patched in. It happened to model last season, should be reverted. Model and sword were both high risk, high reward weapons. Model rewarded good aim, sword rewarded good positioning. If you messed up with those on either weapon you were dead. Sword wasnt even meta like model was.

When I play heavy, sword is literally no problem. Winch them, theyre dead. Lockbolt them, dead. Charge and slam, dead. Rpg plus 2 shots, dead. Medium has a tougher time, but theyre also the strongest class in the meta and have been for a while, they deserve a counter. They can always jump pad away.

All of these have similar or faster TTK than sword did, while still able to significantly damage from range (other than shottys and sledge). Yeah sword can lunge and dash, but the other light weapons can still dash and shoot from range. Sword was good in close range, but thats it. Double barrel is better in almost every other way, while still being able to deal with mines. Faster TTK on all classes, not useless without dash, marginal better range.

Side note GIVE SLEDGE THE AOE SLAM BACK. If a heavy hits multiple people with it at once, they deserve the multi kill. Removing sword phantom strikes would be great.

And before you say it, yes I’m salty af.

-Throwing Knives. one shots light in head with alt fire
-CB-01 Repeater. headshot combos with quick melee for a light "oneshot"
-Cerberus 12GA. if all bullets hit it combos with quick melee to "oneshot" light

Why does it take my whole loadout and just about all my dashes to kill one or two people in an close range fight where sword is supposed to strive, and every time I have to wait for 5-8 seconds to get back into a fight for my health to regen otherwise as a light 1 - 2 bullets and i'm dead since close range fight are so disadvantages to both teams but for a sword it is also even more dangerous now as its much harder to out damage the ttk. Meantime the other weapons are really good from just about any range and is good at any range which that is how it should be, but I just don't get why as a sword I can't even JUST be good at close fights when I have to use all my util and manage it as perfect as possible when fighting mid to high ranks. People saying sword doesn't require skill to play are kinda dumb when it come to the sword cause it not just the sword you have to utilize its everything such as abilities, equipment and guns that others are using, knowing that and how to play around it takes skill not crayon eating brain power like aim and shoot like most people think about. Any ways my point is that the Nerf to Sword was a wayy to unreasonable nerf to it, did it need a nerf? yes, but by this much hell no. Phantom strike was quite oppressive in high ranks and very much so in low ranks for people who knew how to use it. Nerf That. Multi hit was and is still a lil too strong for people since they just can seem to fix their mistake of being to close too each other. Nerf That. Not the overall damage like Embark did. Some people happy about this nerf only because they know just how bad this nerf is, wasn't a evening out patch it was a 6ft under patch for the sword. It take 10x the effort now especially against people who know how to play the game. All the hundreds of hours i've spent playing sword is just a waste for this season. I am glad tho that Embark said they are still looking in ways to go about the sword tho which means this patch isn't the final verdict so thank you.
Also remove Low Grav its just super boring

Hey so I know everyone says to undo the sword nerf. Obviously it was nerfed too much. It was already a very high skill weapon to play, and required a lot of practice to be viable and eventually good. I think if you remove the phantom hits, the sword was a very balanced weapon. Even if you bring the dash down to 130 damage and remove phantom hits, that would be fair.

Would love to see some improvements in cashout and eventually ranked i feel like if you plug it in and hold it the money should gradually be given to you this will lessen the blow of 3rd parties and we can remove this plug meta its just a thought but i do feel like cashout needs something new its current system is meh imo
Would love to see a system in ruby lobbies/diamond lobbies where placing third makes it so you dont lose any rp so it just gives +0 this would alleviate some pain in losing hours of ranked points in 1 match.

Add map selection, everybody, and I mean, everybody will be having more fun with your game, there is zero downsides I can think of.
If map gets no players, you know there is a problem with it, simple as that.

EDIT: To above posts, performance is worse for me since Season 1. But I have to say, it seems random, I can play multiple games with rock solid fps, then there is random game where the fps drops all the time to 17 to 30... It's random for me.

Phantom Strikes is very very inconsistent btw, even with perfect inputs it is not plausible playing with it in high rank. People are overestimating its usage, I agree it it needs to be fixed but it is definitely a COIN FLIP to use its comparable to 65%-75% chance of missing a backstab due to servers.

Its really just a gimmick, might as well not use it against L/M and you need that heavy to be standing still due to how tight the timing is.

The ks-23 needs 100% accuracy, any other buff is pointless

The ks-23 is the only direct hit projectile weapon that is not afforded the luxury of accuracy which is the main reason its suffering. In concept its great and i love the gun, but anyone who has played it for any significant ammount of time knows that its main point of frustration is its unrelieability. Because of the spread targets beyond 8 meters are a gamble to hit. The feature inplace to make it a skillful weapon is already the projectile, however this is ruined by the spread. You can predict your targets movement, lead your shot correctly but still miss because the game decided your slug goes left.

The only buff the ks needs to be good is accuracy. Buffs like range falloff or firerate wouldnt solve the underlying issue of it being frustrating to use beyond 8 meters, headshots without accuracy are pointless, damage is going to force winch ks back which was not very fun to die to. A bigger projectile would maybe work but decrease the guns skill expression.

Even with 100% accuracy the gun would be far from op due to the small mag and bad ttk. However it would be a lot more fun and a lot less frustrating to use

Revert Sword Lunge to 140. Removing Lunge+QM combo vs Light when Light kills Light fast with literally anything is nonsensical. Only change needed = Fix phantom strikes.

Sword was balanced.

  • No synergy with Dash = Would be too immobile for Light melee that needs multiple hits
  • No QM synergy = Breakpoints would be too slow for Light melee that needs multiple hits, requires not overshooting lunge to make it harder to aim at you, must stop right beside enemy to QM
  • No full damage multihit = Would be useless if >1 enemy, in melee as lowest HP class but 0 breakpoints hit on anyone except first, pick a gun for ranged non-multihit damage
  • No lingering flicks = Would be too readable for Light melee that needs multiple hits

Sword is the single worst weapon in the game. Not only is it melee on lowest HP class, you removed every single breakpoint fast enough to work vs even remotely competent players.

  • Vs Light: Lunge+QM = Must be 110
  • Vs Medium: Lunge x2 = Must be 125
  • Vs Medium: Lunge+QM+Primary = Must be 136
  • Vs Heavy: Lunge x3 = Must be 117
  • Vs Heavy: (Lunge+QM) x2 = Must be 135
  • Vs Heavy: (Lunge x2)+Primary = Must be 138

Your own patch notes LITERALLY imply Sword wasn’t unbalanced but got nerfed due to complaints. You separately address Sword as a “gameplay” change to make it less frustrating. Then you separately addressed “balance” changes, saying Cerberus, Pike, and FAMAS are over-performing but you won’t nerf them yet. ```On the gameplay side, (…) nerf to the Sword's secondary attack, aiming to reduce the frustration (…)

Finally, Balance-wise, (…) standout contenders like the Cerberus, Pike-556, FAMAS (…)
(…) monitoring several items based on their performance (…) like
ly to make some adjustments (…) coming weeks. These include the Cerberus 12GA, Pike-556 and FAMAS (…)```

# quick coyote - Remove the chat filter. - allow console players to see the chat. *But...but.....

Absolutely agree but principally because the filter does not work. It frequently censors bits of things that it shouldn’t or has no reason to because they’re so mild (can’t say ass, damn, lmao, hell, stfu.) whereas some more significant actual slurs (which I will not mention here) are completely uncensored. I wouldn’t be surprised if they got their list from chat gpt.

It’s fundamentally broken and somehow both too overprotective while also being too lenient on a handful of the most foul of slurs? Cool embark.

heady pilot
# floral elk (this entire message is a joke. i heavily disagree with the sword nerf) Weapons,...

things oneshotting light is a problem not a way to justify
more things one shotting light I like your reasoning with all of these though because it is kinda lame that sword cant do its entire thing anymore but the thing about light and its melee weapons is they shouldn't be that strong BECAUSE OF LIGHTS MOVEMENT and thats why dagger keeps getting weird changes with its backstab radius and them trying to make its primary more useful, dagger is a situational weapon compared to sword, it offers more value but sword is way more consistent (and still is if used properly because of its FAT hitbox), throwing knives is the only outlier of a weapon that's a bit unfair and probably needs a reload mechanic, I think nerfing melee weapons and making lights specializations more reliable is a completely fair adjustment like giving light 2 grapples instead of one, Dash being less inconsistent and ping based (like making it a blink instead of just a momentum boost that falls off if youre laggy or trip on a pebble) and reworking cloak or recognizing that some people are just blind and will literally need a "heres the cloaked light" mechanic for them to realize theres a shifting piece of reality standing right infront of them.

Please add the Barrett SRSS to the heavy class as a second explosive option.
It could have programmable ammo (as irl) where when close enough to an enemy, it would automatically explode (unless it detects it's gonna get a direct hit). Obviously, this means that its AoE DMG would be rather low, but it could be useful for chip damage or finishing off a target you've directly hit a few times.
Pretty please 🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Revert Sword Lunge to 140. Removing Lunge+QM combo vs Light when Light kills Light fast with literally anything is nonsensical. Only change needed = Fix phantom strikes.

Sword was balanced.

  • No synergy with Dash = Would be too immobile for Light melee that needs multiple hits
  • No QM synergy = Breakpoints would be too slow for Light melee that needs multiple hits, requires not overshooting lunge to make it harder to aim at you, must stop right beside enemy to QM
  • No full damage multihit = Would be useless if >1 enemy, in melee as lowest HP class but 0 breakpoints hit on anyone except first, pick a gun for ranged non-multihit damage
  • No lingering flicks = Would be too readable for Light melee that needs multiple hits

Sword is the single worst weapon in the game. Not only is it melee on lowest HP class, you removed every single breakpoint fast enough to work vs even remotely competent players.

  • Vs Light: Lunge+QM = Must be 110
  • Vs Medium: Lunge x2 = Must be 125
  • Vs Medium: Lunge+QM+Primary = Must be 136
  • Vs Heavy: Lunge x3 = Must be 117
  • Vs Heavy: (Lunge+QM) x2 = Must be 135
  • Vs Heavy: (Lunge x2)+Primary = Must be 138

Your own patch notes LITERALLY imply Sword wasn’t unbalanced but got nerfed due to complaints. You separately address Sword as a “gameplay” change to make it less frustrating. Then you separately addressed “balance” changes, saying Cerberus, Pike, and FAMAS are over-performing but you won’t nerf them yet. ```On the gameplay side, (…) nerf to the Sword's secondary attack, aiming to reduce the frustration (…)

Finally, Balance-wise, (…) standout contenders like the Cerberus, Pike-556, FAMAS (…)
(…) monitoring several items based on their performance (…) like
ly to make some adjustments (…) coming weeks. These include the Cerberus 12GA, Pike-556 and FAMAS (…)```

@feral shard You're delusional. I play medium, and I really don't like getting two shot all the time, however I still agree with you, the sword nerf was overboard. However, you cannot get away with saying it was the worst weapon in the game, it's just criminal. I think bring the sword's damage back up to like 130 or something, get rid of phantom strikes, and some other small things here and there like the lingering hitbox. Fine-tuning nerfs, if you will. You cannot possibly actually think that the sword was bad or even the worst weapon before this nerf. That would be like me saying the pre-nerf model was the worst weapon in the entire game, it's just false.

Fcking idxot balances devs and communicate.
You only ruin weapons and playstyles one by one, without ever addressing the real problems.

I tried to tell the devs what matters: diversity, solo queue friendliness, new player accessibility—creating a game where competitive and casual players, new or old, high or low skill, can all enjoy it.

I've tried to convince players from NA, TW, China, and EU.
Many of them agree with me. But the devs still don’t change anything.

I’ve played this game for over 1200 hours—from the beta to Season 6.
I’ve never missed a contract or event, and I’ve participated in every ranked and game mode.
I’ve watched every related video on Bilibili and YouTube.

I’ve posted over 30 essays, each more than 1,000 words, on feedback, Reddit—even emailed Embark directly.
Still, nothing. You let the game grow more boring, more dead, day by day.

I truly love this game.
But what the hell are the devs doing?
You're ruining it!!!

If someone complains, you just nerf or remove things. That’s ridiculous.
This cycle of nerfs will never end, and every playstyle will suffer.

Add new features to balance.
Add new gadgets, specs—do something right to actually improve the game.

NOT JUST NERF.
No matter what you nerf, people will still complain.
What the final?
Everyone would leave like me, and Your Game Will Dead.
I'm tired, maybe I need to leave this channel and enjoy life.
I try above 3000hr in the fps game.
I thought The Finals is the world-best FPS game, I have thought.
This game would be the next Apex, even worse.
Apex still has a lot of players, and the peak amount player could be the True world-best FPS game.
The Finals have the potential to be the best, but someone RUIN it.

Good takes 👍, especially on ARN and 1216. And yes, for sword too 😏. People who say to leave sword as it is don’t realize how truly worthless the weapon is now. Like there is no weapon in the game that is less worth using. For Cerby however I think the issue is less the range and more the fact that one perfect shot can (with burn damage) kill a light. If the base damage was lowered by 1 per pellet, I think most people would be happy

Buff sword, cut lunge time in half or something to make it viable again. Dont kill this game with frustrating your community, make melee great again

silent musk
# mental sky Aiming is too bothersome eh?

sword takes way more skill than **most **guns in the game, you repeat and spout the same "no skill argument" despite never playing the weapon and only complain because you get killed by it.

sword takes the same amount of aim as half of the guns in this game even though you dont have to track with it, but requires much more skill when it comes to isolating 1v1's, positioning, resource management, timing, awareness, awareness of where your team is at, etc. every weapon benefits from these skills but sword players have to be more aware than other weapons as it allows for very little mistakes.

This is coming from someone who does love to play sword, but doesnt main it, and has an even split on heavy/light. and i can guarantee you after i switch off to literally any other light weapon, the game gets so much easier. It takes much more work for sword players to get the same amount of value as someone running xp-54 or half of lights other weapons.

As for my actual feedback...
My issue with sword is just a personal gripe, i wish there was more incentive to use the main attack than lunge. maybe up the damage of the left click and make it come out a bit faster? not super duper much, but enough to make it useful. Also, make it clearer for the user and enemy when a lunge is ready. || especially as the basic sword is a sabre of some kind and theres also a katana skin, both are more inclined to use cuts than thrusts in irl. there is a rapier skin (my beloved) but shhhh ||

Think grapple needs a full rework/adjustment that makes it something you can actually swing with rather than just go up high with. Like I’d love to use it in the same sense as I would pathfinder in apex/the grapple in tf2. If you could launch yourself great distances with grapple it’d open up the game to more varied movement and I bet we’d see a lot of cool plays based on the movement you’d get from it. I mean I’m sure 1000s of people have mentioned wanting grapple to work this way, I feel like it’s the first thing anyone would think of

The grapple hook keeps pulling u in a wall unless u cancel it but it would be better if u could stick to walls for a few seconds and u can aim and shoot but it's for a limited time to avoid camping,maybe even a wall jump from the wall u grappling to.

The 93r time between burst is weird and not fun to use,make it so there isn't a gap or less time gap between burst and u can slightly nerf damage since u r increasing fire rate but the damage fall out is longer so there is a balance since due to recoil u can spam it long/medium range.

Add fanning revolver for light with incendiary bullets but they r projectile but hit hard,u can use fanning action to quickly fire bullet.

Ks23 needs a headshot buff 1.2x,wall penetration and NO bullet deviation.

sword idea rather than limiting how much you can turn while lunging i think the hitbox should shrink as you turn so that its got the maximum reach going in a straight line but you can still turn to hit someone to your side if theyre close enough, it would reduce the effectiveness of just spinning like a beyblade without locking your camera and making it feel clunky to use

  • Just** revert sword damage nerf**

-Remove the ability to dash while doing lunge

  • Increase lung distance

Multihit should ONLY be during its primary attack, not lunge. It makes no effng sense that a sword thats thrusting towards one person should be able to hit others that are not even in the direction of the thrust. The sword's primary attack is a swing anyway so it would make sense there. And he shouldn't be able to move fast while doing that, but can still evas dash and other stuff for movement. Also we should be able to use its primary attack while grappling so I can look like a pirate.

Fix it's stupid hitreg. I shouldnt be able to hit five people at the same time, while only touching like two of the people. it makes things confusing for the other end.

As a sword main that buff still wouldn’t be enough. While it would be the right direction it still would nerf the matchup against mediums and heavies. The entire reason sword was 140 in the first place was so 2 lunges plus a slash could kill heavies. Otherwise, completely agree. You could also mention how sniper (and bow I think) one shot headshot lights from a much longer range than sword

sword nerf is crazy there’s kinda no point not just using a sniper. it’s less fun but i’ve had more success in close up fights w lights cause you tag them once then use 1 dash to finish them off w melee instead of the 2 dash necessary w sword now. The issue is mainly this, sword relies on engaging and disengaging super quick and a light now takes as long to kill as a medium used to in this way. Medium requires more skill but still doable which is fine I guess. But fighting lights, better off using two lunge attacks (harder to hit) because there’s a high chance they’ll dash away in the time it takes to swing, and it’s still fun but it’s not worth it in casual. Let alone viable in comp

I've seen people, as well as my own friends, not bother to continue playing the game because they need to grind to try the new stuff, which I think overall hurts the possibility of them finding a weapon they really enjoy and staying as a result. I feel its important because other than classes, they are the main factors that change the gameplay experience for a person.

Just popping in to say that I'm really close to mastering all three phantom strikes, which I previously refused to do since I considered it cheating and temporary. I'm developing a new playstyle that's making me more dangerous than I was before the nerf. My motto has always been "NinjaNeet don't cheat". Don't like me cheating? then stop begging the Devs to repeatedly nerf what was already basically the worst weapon.

Please add a proper ping and packet loss counter. Whether it's added in the scoreboard, a separate UI option, or attached to the detailed FPS counter.

It would help us figure out what's up with the connections, and help us give better feedback on the server issues that have been going on.

My current list of suggestions:

  • More sensitivity options
    every weapon has different feel of usage and scopes, and i really don't like changins my setting if i want to switch weapon
    example - if i'm using XP-54 i'm going for 100% zoom cuz it's easier to track like that
    but if i'm playing with bow - i have to lower my zoom to 60% cuz it has no zoom whatsoever so 100% feels like i'm just playing with hipfire
  • sr-84 hitscan should be reverted
    in current state when even mediums have multiple options to fight against sniper rifle - i think it's fair go make it hitscan again
  • bow should have un-draw bind as reload
    since this weapon is 1/infinite ammo it doesn't need reload at all, but the fact that you're unable to un-draw is hilarious. You have to use quick melee to stop it, and it can screw your timings sometimes really hard

Update after patch 6.0 :
Still no stun gun after a month. It should come back .
Cheaters are spreading all over the game. A lot of wallhack and aimbot.

For the game

  • Add "step" in the reload animation so when you climb on something during a reload, it's not completly reset.
  • Increase the netcode/tickrate/servers. Getting kill at 3m far from a hammer/sword or behind a wall / door / cover is not ACCEPTABLE. Servers can't register your movements
  • Perma ban cheaters
  • Add a report option " Sabotage " in the report section in game please.
  • Let us choose our sight weapons at the beginning of a game
  • Let us go in practice with friends
  • Delete low gravity event. It's not fun AT ALL and unfair for Light. Movement are cancel and they only got 150HP
  • Random skin and charm list for weapons/gadgets
  • We shouldn't lost point in ranked when a team mate leave the squad and didn't play during the round
  • Let us invite friends or join them in group even if we are not the group leader
  • Add the possibility to look at the profil/card of friends and recent players.
  • Dash is trash with your netcode. Servers can't register a dash behind a cover and you will die anyway
  • **Give us the possibility to customize rules in private match. Like "only M and Dual Blade", "only Light and SR84", "only marksman", "No heal, Light only and grenade only". You can imagine all you want and put it in private match for streamer and their community to make the game more fun **
  • Let us use our VR for XP weapons or other things (not from me but very interresting idea !)

** For balance **

  • You shouldn't be able to right clic sword + dash
  • CB01-Repeater is just stupidly strong and OP.
  • CL40 revert the buff.
  • Buff Vanish Bomb and make it start regen instant and/or. It will increase survability for the Light and it can be use for your teammates too !
  • Nerf Turret range.
  • Nerf proximity sensor range
  • Reduce the radius of the reflect of the Dual Blade or let us shoot in the feet or something else to let us counter DB when you got an AR
  • **Nerf Cerberus damage ! **
  • Nerf the range of the KS shotgun. You can put 100 dmg at 20m.
  • Nerf PIKE to 48 instead of 50 dmg. You know what you did in 5.8 with that.
  • LH1 nerf was to strong in 6.0. Buff it to 45 dmg.
  • Flamethrower and hook should NOT get you through walls or other.
  • Nerf the hammer like you did for the sword to 100, because > Winch + Hammer + Melee = Free Kill. Same with chains.
  • Revive and Objectives score should add additional points in ranked
  • Rework defib: Reduce the cooldown reset to 5s and give 100HP instead of 50% of your HP. It will force Medium to revive more safety !
  • Rework Sonar : Scan 5 times instead of 3 but if you don't move it can't scan you
  • Chain and hook shouldn't do damage.

I will always post this now and add some changes time to time

embark you need to monitor big changes closely instead of making huge sweeping changes and just leaving them like that for months on end. you had no issue clipping cl40's wings when it had its week of glory, but somehow cerberus escaped the same treatment when its infinitely more unhealthy for the game. cerberus meta has completely trashed medium's identity as a support character and made the game incredibly boring.

This games balancing improves at a snails pace. It’s been almost a year and a half, not including 1 alpha and 3 betas, and we aren’t even finished nerfing the overpowered primaries (cerberus)

Mediums class identity has been eviscerated by overnerfing defib and healing beam while buffing close range options (Cerberus) and then not giving any cool utility to the class??? Medium has the same amount of gadgets that it did on launch. How??? It has the most potential for interesting gadgets and specs.

Light is a horribly designed shitshow that scares away casuals and has 1 viable playstyle in high elo. When are you redesigning the specs that only get value based on enemy mistakes? Invis blows if your opponent is good at spotting it. Dash is horrible if your opponent can aim. No wonder the class eats shit against good players and frustrates casuals until they quit.

Heavy’s specs have been dumbed down a ton. Goo gun has been shadow nerfed a lot, mesh had its skill expression removed with juggling, winch is still not telegraphed???

Half of the items in the game have the status of “literally never put this in your loadout if you want to win in any serious environment.” How?? It’s almost been two years.

Shit like Cerberus gets gigabuffed one patch and then goes unmonitored and ruins ranked and competitive play for months. Maybe be quick to walk back a change after buffing a weapon 3 times in one patch???

Cashout is still miserable. Team spawns, vault spawns, cashout spawns, third parties, all or nothing gameplay, griefing, being punished for other teams mistakes, etc all make knockout rounds horrible to play.

3v3 is STILL all or nothing for some reason??? The gamemode has enough downtime in the first place but then the points system means only 2-3 of the fights in the entire ~12 minute round actually matter.

I’ve always been super defensive of this games dev team and balancing because every new team shooter suffers from bad balancing at first. But this isn’t a new game anymore. And you’ve stated in multiple dev comments that you actually think the game is well balanced. There’s no more hope left for any player when the devs of the terribly balanced game come out and say “oh we actually think the game is in a great spot”

This game needs something to change fast because it’s clear you want a competitive future for the game. But your balancing is atrociously bad. You’re losing your most dedicated players because they’re tired of waiting for it to get better.

[World tour]
World tour point system needs a rework, getting 6 points for getting into round 2 is insane.
Realistically getting 3rd in round 1 should net you 3 points then second and first should be 5 points
Second round 3rd place should get 5, second and first should net you 10(these all stack with the finals round results) winning final should net you 30 points losing should net you 20

so all in all in round one you come 1st you get 5 points, in round 2 you come first again you get 15 and in the final if you win you get 45 points. ATM the point system just feels meh this is me spitballing btw if you've got better solutions i would love to here it.

[Ranked/Cashout]
Would love to see some improvements in cashout and eventually ranked i feel like if you plug it in and hold it the money should gradually be given to you this will lessen the blow of 3rd parties and we can remove this plug meta its just a thought but i do feel like cashout needs something new its current system is meh imo
Would love to see a system in ruby lobbies/diamond lobbies where placing third makes it so you dont lose any rp so it just gives +0 this would alleviate some pain in losing hours of ranked points in 1 match.

[Light]
Xp didn't need a damage increase
Sword nerfs were a bit aggressive (i understand its not perminant but thank you for adjusting it) feel like the dmg could of been brought to 110 or 115 but hey im enjoy my sword free world for now
Invis is next to impossible to see in the nighttime setting (not a balance suggestion more of a compliant)

[Heavy]
minigun feels like it needs just a slight accuracy cone buff
Feels like winch didn't need the range buff it was already strong as is(reverting the range would be ideal)
Ks23 needs better hip fire

[Medium]
Cerberus is very unique it should have its fire damage be the brunt of its damage, every pellet should start fire damage but its overall pellet damage (that isn't from be fire) should be nerfed probably round to less than the model so 10 per pellet whilst making the fire damage do 20 the first shot then 35 then 50 to offset the lose of immediate damage give it a few extra meters of range
Famas might need a slight recoil adjustment to make it less easy (currently the best ar by a mile) and/or a damage nerf

Smoke nades need some downside currently they have no counter besides thermal or any motion sensors but you can only cover so much ground with them, maybe fire or gas should counter act them

Creator cosmetics and or charms would be a cool thing to add to the game

Any fixes for the no sprint no shoot and constant sonar bug in the works ?

If you have any better suggestion about any of the changes I brought up id love to hear them 🙂

Add kusarigama for light,primary attacks hit like sword but alt attack is u spin the chain and blade 160 degrees in front of u and most damage where blade hits not the chain,it’s skill based cause u hold down alt and the more u hold the longer u throw and only the blade part damages when spinning plus u can move your aim while spinning to make blade go in that direction.

To simply put it,the melee alt is more like aim and shoot but use aim to move the blade and hit box.

There r two ways of implementing this,either the melee projectile starts from an arc from the left side and goes to the centre line and move as u change your aim or the projectile starts from the crosshairs and moves where u move your aim

U may change between the two using a different stance using the weapon inspection button or add more combos using that button.

Either u can’t use light spec when using alt or give this weapon to medium with a wall run gadget or else it’s the most dull experience chasing player as a medium

More fun ranked matchmaking

Increase the ranking point gap between players in a match so that it can vary by a couple thousand to fix queue times and increase the amount of people someone gets to play against.

Differentiate the amount lost from placing 5/6/7/8, making it less punishing to place 5th over 6th and 7th over 8th

Allow the amount of points gained or lost to vary with a wider range (still having the same maximum and minimum as of right now), cap the amount gained so that two gold 2 players in a plat lobby wont gain an insane amount more than a team more favored to win.

If a team is favored to lose by a wide margin (me having some bronze 2 in my lobby out of nowhere) lower the amount lost for dropping out of first round)

Yes it works, and yes it is supported, but I hear that random updates to easy anti cheat and how THE FINALS uses it makes the game just randomly not work, and it ends up being fixed by the linux or valve community.

Buff sword to lunge to 120 and primary attack to 75 is balance.

Kill light need to be oneshot for melee weapon.
That is only way to make sword playable in high rank.

Yes, old swold is hard couter to medium.
Old sword could lunge QM and melee to kill medium.
I think 1 lunge 2 melee or 2 lunge 1QM is suitable.

Three lunge or lunge QM two melee QM to kill Heavy is suitable.

If you want to solve the new player hard to agains sword or dagger.
The only way is buff explosive mine deployed time and buff RPG to 120 damage.
That is the only way to make new players kill less swords but dont ruin this weapon.

And that could also solve the huge amount Light in low elo matches or casual.
That would not kill high rank light game play.

This is going to be my last time complaining about the sword nerfs, and it’s going to be a long rant.

As a sword main, I know it’s very good in low ranks but gets worse the higher you go. I play mostly quick play, and I have put way too many hours into sword and thus do very well. I understand that this can be frustrating for new players, and I don’t really have a counter to that

The damage nerf didn’t just affect the light matchup, it hurt every matchup. It’s much harder to win fights against every class, and every fight is mostly struggling to get a pick and dying . 105 damage means lights get a chance to get away and forces me to use more dashes for the same number of kills. Mediums are not as bad, only taking a quick melee on top of the previous 2 lunges, yet quick melee time is still time they can use to kill you. Finally, the heavy matchup is egregious. It went from 2 lunges and a slash to 3 lunges and a quick melee. Previously, it took a lot but was definitely doable if you managed dashes right. Now, however, you basically need all 3 dashes to kill a single heavy, and if a team has more than one heavy it’s practically impossible to fight their team.

Here’s how to buff sword: 110-124 damage per lunge puts us back in the quick melee a light range, which is in the right direction but definitely not enough. 125-135 damage brings us back to two lunges killing a medium. This is just an objectively more fun change than 110-124. Finally, there’s 136-140, which is just the same as old sword. I may be biased but this is by far the best case scenario because sword needs its old relationship with heavies.

My friend made a suggestion to me: giving a cooldown between using a melee weapon and quick melee. This solves the instant kill on lights with both sword and sledgehammer. If this is done, we should get 136-140 lunge damage so sword isn’t reliant on quick melee for heavies or mediums.

Had to get that out, and please listen Embark, I love your game so much.

Kyoto needs to go, either temporarily or definitely, depending on whether or not it can be significantly improved.

It's obvious that the devs poured lots of work and passion into building a gorgeous map, but unfortunately it has been the worst map to play on since its introduction in S3.

The main issue IMHO is that vaults/cashouts are too spread apart, and moving around is a chore. There's too much clutter, sometimes in addition to lots of inconsistent climbing (bamboo forest area in particular), large stretches of water that slow you down to a stand still, not enough ziplines/jump pads... It just doesn't flow like other maps do.

Playing Medium/Light feels almost mandatory, as playing Heavy is a pain, unless you are in a full stack with M/L providing movement at all times.

-Split lobbies between full teams and solo+duo
-Limit the difference between any player in a lobby to be 5k max

Sword doesn't deserve to be nerfed into the ground like this for "damage" when plenty of other options were better for that. But, I realize this is likely to be a temporary thing while you fix phantom hits on sword. So I have some suggestions for the tech instead.

Many players complain about phantoms being unfair because you have no idea if a sword user is doing it, and it raises their dps by a lot.
I think a good solution for this would be creating a visual effect for when it happens, as well as a special sound that plays the moment you input it correctly. That way players will be able to react to it a bit more, and it will expose a sword players location as well.
I also think they should take 1.2x damage after a phantom is inputted, until the animation is completely finished.

In return, I suggest that phantoms stay in the game, and become consistently usable (so long as you input it correctly, which is still a difficult input. Also, currently, phantoms are not consistent, and are usable/unusable every life.) This keeps the cool tech that sword mains like in the game, but makes it clearly communicated to other players and forces sword players to consider if the phantom is worth it based on the situation.

We would also appreciate the return of gadget cancelling for sword, as well as for other weapons such as the model. This just opens up more room for skill expression with these weapons. In sword's case it does make the cooldown for the lunge slightly faster, but if you make a bad input while gadget cancelling it can be very punishing. Also, the benefit is far less than the hated emote cancels. Most sword mains believe gadget cancels to be fair.

Finally, the damage. Honestly the damage was fine at 140. There are plenty of other weapons in the game that one shot a light a light even without a quick melee, some of them requiring less skill than the Sword. So I don't believe this really needs to be covered. Please revert it.

Sword nerf was too much, and I'm not even playing sword.

Minimum needs some kind of a buff, some ideas:

  • start firing immediately fire rate goes up over time
  • reduce spread the longer you fire
  • dont fully rev it down when using gadgets/abilities, so you can fire again faster
  • more structural damage

Sword is still decent, if you can't play with it, it's just not for you.

@wooden atlas The finals does not revolve around one weapon.
And if statistics and the majority of the player base says the weapon is unbalanced and a few of which most are users of said weapon want to keep it as it is, then it should just be balanced and these few can go learn some different weapons to play as all other players had to do just aswell when their weapons got nerfed in the past.

I think that, in a game like The Finals where weapon diversity is a major selling point, if players are forced to learn a new weapon just because their old main is non-viable now, something is very wrong. No one should be forced to play a single play style or to give up the style that makes the game fun for them. I’m a melee and shotgun main for the most part. I shouldn’t be forced to play ARs or snipers when the game specifically offers weapons that are a better fit for me. And that goes for everyone, even AR mains. Every weapon should be viable, period—else why does it even exist? This is my biggest problem with the sword nerf: it made an entire weapon non-viable.

5v5 cashout gamemode that ticks cash into the holding teams counter on a time limit instead of being all or nothing. Reset cooldowns on team wipe, closer token spawns, more/infinite tokens. Final cashout can go into overtime while being held by the losing team until either captured or losing team overtakes first place

I'm not going to stop complaining about suicides stealing kills until it's fixed. I refuse to believe that situations like this occurring could be an intended feature unless the developers enjoy pointlessly frustrating players. This is NOT a skill issue, just objectively bad design. Seriously, just make it so that if someone suicides and another player damaged them in the last 2 seconds, it counts as a kill. It is such a simple and easy fix, yet self damaging weapons have been getting away with kill theft since I started playing. No kill, no assist, but the death counts, and now my stats are shit.

Would be cool to have an acrobatic specialization for light class, that would include wall running and directional flipping like front, back, side flips (basically double jump just flashy).
It could make sick gameplay clips and all the maps are already perfectly set up for parkour.

Spear alt rework,replace weird spinning with pole vaulting,hammer has destruction where u change the map,make buildings fall but with spear u just spin……?
If u can do vaulting(in an arc motion) then u can cover vertical distance and jump rooftops and have a thrust attack when falling after vaulting and more damage the higher u fall, u can still have only one spin attack if u hold primary attack.

Genuine question, does anyone else find it really unfair that the LH1 (Light DMR) gets like 5 different sights, and the Pike (Medium DMR) gets only two (the irons and the pretty crappy scope)? These two weapons are almost identical in the purpose they serve, and yet one is getting more attention from Embark. I find this genuinely unfair. Of course, I might be missing something so anyone feel free to tell me otherwise. On a separate note, I feel like the revolver's red dot is much worse/harder to use than the irons, but I still feel like the gun would benefit from some more aiming options, however, it also didn't receive any new additions in the update. I really hope Embark realizes this and perhaps gives these weapons some attention.

Gameshow Event Ideas:

  • Supercharged:- Increased movement speeds, Increased reload speeds, Increased ADS speeds.

  • Fair Fight:- Every single contestant gets his max health changed to 250. Every single contestant now moves at a medium's speed. Hitbox stays the same.

  • Overcharged:- Really really increased speeds while sprinting, whereby there's a blue-electricity animation on your character (and screen), but sprinting for too long, say more than 10-12 seconds, causes the animation to intensify and you lose health in bursts if you don't stop sprinting for a while.

  • Propane Madness:- Every single carriable turns into a propane canister (those red explosive ones). Yes. Every. Single.

  • Demolition Derby:- You get extra cash for destroying structures, eg: 500 cash for destroying structures worth 1000 points

  • Party Time:- You get extra points for emoting after cashouts (inspired by that iseult WT thing.

  • UFO event should actually levitate players up into the air and they die when reaching the ufo.

  • Meteor showers should be way more frequent (like 20 meteors with huge areas.... that spew out lava?? per second) across the entire map.

I'll keep brainstorming more. Also considering we're nearing May/June/July, which is exam time for ppl going to school, good luck on your actual Finals!

Sword doesn't deserve to be nerfed into the ground like this for "damage" when plenty of other options were better for that. But, I realize this is likely to be a temporary thing while you fix phantom hits on sword. So I have some suggestions for the tech instead.

Many players complain about phantoms being unfair because you have no idea if a sword user is doing it, and it raises their dps by a lot.
I think a good solution for this would be creating a visual effect for when it happens, as well as a special sound that plays the moment you input it correctly. That way players will be able to react to it a bit more, and it will expose a sword players location as well.
I also think they should take 1.2x damage after a phantom is inputted, until the animation is completely finished.

In return, I suggest that phantoms stay in the game, and become consistently usable (so long as you input it correctly, which is still a difficult input. Also, currently, phantoms are not consistent, and are usable/unusable every life.) This keeps the cool tech that sword mains like in the game, but makes it clearly communicated to other players and forces sword players to consider if the phantom is worth it based on the situation.

We would also appreciate the return of gadget cancelling for sword, as well as for other weapons such as the model. This just opens up more room for skill expression with these weapons. In sword's case it does make the cooldown for the lunge slightly faster, but if you make a bad input while gadget cancelling it can be very punishing. Also, the benefit is far less than the hated emote cancels. Most sword mains believe gadget cancels to be fair.

Finally, the damage. Honestly the damage was fine at 140. There are plenty of other weapons in the game that one shot a light a light even without a quick melee, some of them requiring less skill than the Sword. So I don't believe this really needs to be covered. Please revert it.

Cerberus 12GA needs nerfs.

Cerberus 12GA:

  • Is on a class with 100 more HP than Light
  • But can 1-shot Light which is literally unhealthy for a Medium ranged weapon
  • And has higher RPM than the SH1900
  • And has tighter spread than the SH1900 which means longer max range than the SH1900 before number of shots needed to kill changes
  • And has better poke from range because successfully causing burn proc guarantees a +31 damage bonus
  • And has better utility because fire can get rid of goo and gas both
  • And has more kills per reload and more forgiving shots-to-kill efficiency than the SH1900 (read below)

Kills per reload/shots-to-kill efficiency of SH1900 vs Cerberus 12GA

  • Vs Light: SH1900 can kill 2 max, requires 1/2 shots. Cerberus 12GA can kill 3 max, requires 1/3 shots.
  • Vs Medium: SH1900 can kill 1 max, requires 2/2 shots. Cerberus 12GA can kill 1.5 max, requires 2/3 shots.
  • Vs Heavy: SH1900 can kill 1 max, requires 2/2 shots. Cerberus 12GA can kill 1 max, requires 3/3 shots.

No reload to learn recoil and no cool down for class spec and gadgets for fun ONLY in practice server
The grapple hook keeps pulling u in a wall unless u cancel it but it would be better if u could stick to walls for a few seconds and u can aim and shoot but it's for a limited time to avoid camping,maybe even a wall jump from the wall u grappling to.

The 93r time between burst is weird and not fun to use,make it so there isn't a gap or less time gap between burst and u can slightly nerf damage since u r increasing fire rate but the damage fall out is longer so there is a balance since due to recoil u can spam it long/medium range.

Add fanning revolver for light with incendiary bullets but they r projectile but hit hard,u can use fanning action to quickly fire bullet.

Ks23 needs a headshot buff 1.2x,wall penetration and NO bullet deviation.

Breach charge should break smaller holes in walls so lights can minimise exposure that large destructon has right now, because u have 3 charges u can still make bigger holes.It should still stack damage.

This isn't Mortal Kombat, its an FPS. Asking for different inputs to be properly added as features so there's more "skill expression" is just a death sentence for new or unskilled players. Also, even if the sword nerf was too much (which it wasn't), pick another weapon. They added so many other options, some of them also overpowered, and it wouldn't kill you to try one of them. Let them sort out the light class damage and stun gun stuff and try to enjoy the game instead of asking for their changes to be reverted.

the backstab damage hitbox continues to be fundamentally broken, at least when taking into account the consistent server issues regarding low tik rates/desync. i get stabbed for full damage while facing someone in a window sill, after gooing them off mid dash/attack, etc. If you're going to have stupid melee dynamics in the game, at least fix your servers and the animations so they match up with whats actually happening because it makes no dang sense rn. I can have my back in corner facing a dagger light and shooting them in the head as they advance towards me and the next minute im dead after taking 320 damage after they somehow dash directly into me/maneuver behind me despite the aforementioned circumstances of me deliberately planning ahead to counter this possibility. A little consistency would go a long way

If I have to face a 5 stack in powershift or tdm as a solo in a bag of randoms I’m going to kill myself. I know its bound to happen every once in a while but it happens soooooo often. Like every third game or so.

Please try to tweak the matchmaking to prioritize matching stacks against stacks. There’s no reason dumb little solos like me should be facing a 5 stack this often.

Also. I rarely have strong feelings about weapon balance but good lord reign in the smg ranges. We’re fast approaching Titanfall 2 levels of rifle disuse on light at the moment. And the best part is the LH1 and ARN are pretty good rifles! But the XP-54 is so dominant at long ranges especially against meds and lights that there’s no reason to use either of them, especially when the pistols exist. The SMGs NEED to be balanced like SMGs. They NEED to be close range. If you still want the XP to be the more accurate option then great give it really good hipfire but reign in the ranged damage for christs sake it makes the rest of the class (and the playstyles therein) less interesting.

Day 9 of asking for a Spear buff:
Among many of the Spear’s problems, one of the most noticeable when using it is it's shockingly low DPS. Here is a list of guns that can out TTK the spear in Melee range while also being able to do damage from range.

Spear:
Light - Medium - Heavy
1.80s - 2.50s- 3.20s

Heavy v Heavy:
.50 Akimbos: 1.83 > 3.2
Lewis Gun: 1.6 > 3.2
M60: 1.6 > 3.2
KS-23: 2.47 > 3.2
SA1216: .80 > 3.2
SHAK-50: 1.57 > 3.2
MGL32: 2.67 > 3.2

Medium v Heavy:
AKM: 1.7 > 2.5
CL-40: 2.3 > 2.5
FCAR: 1.4 > 2.5
Model 1887: 1.6 > 2.5
R .357: 1.6 > 2.5
Pike-556: 2.1 > 2.5
Cerberus-12: 1.8 > 2.5

Light v Heavy:
93R: 1.64 > 1.8
V9S: 1.33 > 1.8
M11: 1.26 > 1.8
XP-54: 1.48 > 1.8
LH1: 1.5 > 1.8
SH1900: .75 > 1.8
M26 Matter: 1.41 > 1.8

Note: These damage numbers come from patch 1.5.5 and takes into account only body shot numbers. The spear numbers come from its M1 standard attack, not the spin. I just wanted to illuminate that even when Spear has the first shot on another player, how often they lose. Thank yall embark for continuing to do an amazing job on my favorite game and please consider buffing the spear in any capacity!

I agree that damage was never the issue, but saying it's still an issue is laughable. I've put 1500 hours refining my skills with the sword and i can confidently say it's basically impossible to use right now, even with tons of experience under your belt.

the World Tour respawn token system needs to be changed/reworked, like how it is now where you have to wait to use a token to respawn is "ok" but it's better to have a teammate get you up so you can save your tokens, but the change/rework is make it where only using a tokens bypasses the wait timer and respawns you, and if you wait for the timer to hit zero you can respawn normally without using any tokens, this respawn token system change/rework would counter revive statue campers. because i just had a game where a heavy camped my revive statue where my teammates couldn't get me, and i was out of tokens and i only used them to try and keep a cashout from being stolen, so this change/rework would be healthy for World Tour, and if you want to try it out in ranked by all means give it a try and see how it works out.

Ability to block at least 60% damage of sword and hammer and spear using Riot shield and duel blades.

Melee fights should reward timing, it makes no sense especially for a riot shield to not block a bit of sword dash, and spear and hammer second attack

maybe ability to block but with getting pushed back a bit depending on the angle? Impact shock on sword dash and pushed back on and hammer and spear since their hits are a bit heavier.

The nerf to sword really felt like an echo of what happened season 4 with the model where the weapon goes from being top of the meta to being a neesh weapon that few people use after such a drastic nerf. The recent lunge changes really felt like a dirty way to take the sword out of the competitive meta. I suppose I look at things purely in a competitive stand point which may not reflect the thought processes of game balancers at Embark, but at the top level of play sword has many known counters though I will admit it did have some problems. It really felt that all the hours I put into sword and the money I put in to sword skins felt ultimately wasted now because I can't use it to the same effect anymore. I've been a player since season 1 and have chosen the sword as my main weapon since then, so I am quite biased, but it really feels like I've been taken out of the game in a way

This is petty (very petty), and I'd be the first to say that THE FINALS cosmetics are S tier - my favorite of any game I've played - but those "SIGNED BY [SPONSOR]" stickers in the career track just bum me out. This is my third season with a sponsor, and I can't make those stickers look anything but unfortunate when I equip them. Maybe this isn't the urgent instance to do it in, but I wonder if existing cosmetics, like these stickers, could ever get a little rework if and when the Embark team ever saw fit. As an example, I feel like the IRL version of this kind of sponsorship (e.g., a sponsored athlete) would be promoted as something like "MEMBER OF TEAM ALFA ACTA," or just an emblem that represented "TEAM ALFA ACTA." I'm not saying that would make it an actual team, but like an athlete might say he's on "Team Nike" or an "Official Nike Athlete." Then again, maybe it's just the graphic design of the stickers, with the big white borders that I'm finding so difficult to match. Though, maybe that's a little bit the point, that the sticker can't be too good for one that so many people can get. I understand that, too, but felt the urge to say something. Anyway, love you guys, especially the art department, but if I could change one cosmetic ever, it would be those.

Hey embark I really like the thermal vision gadget for light but as someone photosensitive I kinda really hate how bright it is and often buggy, sometimes people wont glow sometimes they will? I think this gadget would benefit just being like a red outline through smoke or something rather than something I have to stop shooting to pull out as it flash bangs me randomly.

and on that note demat is an issue having an extremely good skill ceiling with very little counterplay and needs to be dealt with because having mediums open and close holes in the roof over and over again to shoot down at me is a little obnoxious especially since you cant close the holes without having another demat

It’s every damn game db shotgun and xp-54 dash scum, it ruins everything it’s so unfair and unfun to play against sick of having to switch off my preferred play style literally every game, if it wasn’t for the fact ospuze has a sponsorship this season I would have literally uninstalled already, this has been the least fun season I’ve played and most upset I’ve gotten at a game in my entire life. I work a 3pm-12am I ain’t got the time to practice for fighting full stack teams and ruby players constantly in “casual” game modes. I love what this game is but the balancing and matchmaking sucks terribly idk how I’m always stuck fighting gaming gods, cheaters and meta knights but I haven’t had fun except for bunny bash because there is no terrible meta there. But coming home nightly to play a game I’m supposed to enjoy feels more like a punishment than a fun hobby. It’s a real shame because there is no other game like the finals but the blatant catering to the people who play ranked and use meta is sad to see, you have all these different weapons but if you wanna use em you gotta hope the opposing team isn’t using the obviously overpowered items otherwise good luck using any of the “lesser” weapons to compete against them. I consider myself an experienced fps player and not being able to fight back with preferred weapons makes me angry enough I cant even imagine how bad it must be for the new players. If anything also please add a PvE gamemode of some sort so I could at least unwind a bit and keep myself more sanity while playing this hellishishly addicting game.

In my case, I have a 3060 Ti and each component of my build is matching expected benchmark performances. I have to run The Finals at ~90 fps on super low settings and I still get frequent frame drops to 75 fps. Not sure what it is, I've tested it after doing a full clean reset on my computer and every other game I play runs perfectly fine. Given that it's not even an isolated instance among my friend group, it's definitely a finals issue. Not sure why or how, but it is by far the biggest pain point I have

The fact that barriers cannot be placed due to the smallest of ground-debris in a destruction-based game is a pain point that could be fixed by prioritizing barriers placement over debris. if i imagine from a game dev pov, i would code the barriers to destroy or "push" the debris out of the way. Imagine getting shot by a mini gun, medium cl40, and xp-54 and you cant place barricade because Kyoto has the smallest grass-object in the way. I think the solution is to give barricade a small destruction value.

skillbased matchmaking for the enemies would be nice, but i'd much prefer a matchmaking that didnt put 2 cognitively deficient lights on my team 3 tournaments in a row

i mean seriously, 100m away from the cashout is NOT the cashout. play the fucking point. why are all these lights so stupid?

unkempt geyser
# pine frigate It’s every damn game db shotgun and xp-54 dash scum, it ruins everything it’s so...

Just wait till the taser is added back in. I've been playing as much as I can while it's disabled because you know every light player is going to equip it immediately when its back. Game feels so much better without it, even with hordes of light mains still swarming casual using DB and XP. I think its funny the sword got gutted even though the DB can kill single targets quicker and nearly as efficiently even at slightly longer ranges, just with little multi-target damage potential. Generally speaking if you main any particular weapon you can still outplay people using the meta stuff, but it might be a lot more work depending on what your go-to favorite weapon(s) to use is. It really all comes down to good positioning and staying with your team if you really want to avoid being caught out by lights. Also, PvE sounds like a bad direction for The Finals, IMO.

day 4 of asking for the same thing (and adding to it)

  • sword: revert sword nerf it was balanced
  • ARN: let us tap to swap mag and hold to reload
  • SA1216: same as the ARN don't buff it just let us rotate the mag
  • Cerberus: not op but needs a 2m range nerf
  • riot shield: fix it it's too glitchy
  • dual blades: Buff damage as a light main I can disrespect it a lot without ever dying to it should 2 hit lights
  • sights: indicate the zoom/FOV changes each sight has and make it make sense because the same sight might have zoom on one gun and non on another also rework the x2 scope it looks fugly like something straight out of a roblox game...
  • wallrunning specialization for light: u get a double jump and the ability to run on any wall for 3 seconds and/or jump of it
  • moolah should've never gotten the engimo treatment let my boy Moo
  • health update the game runs like crap and my m8 on Linux crashes frequently please embark I love The finals so much and I want more people to play it

Day idk till idk of asking for the Middle East servers

noble helm

#

My current list of suggestions:

  • More sensitivity options
    every weapon has different feel of usage and scopes, and i really don't like changins my setting if i want to switch weapon
    example - if i'm using XP-54 i'm going for 100% zoom cuz it's easier to track like that
    but if i'm playing with bow - i have to lower my zoom to 60% cuz it has no zoom whatsoever so 100% feels like i'm just playing with hipfire
  • sr-84 hitscan should be reverted
    in current state when even mediums have multiple options to fight against sniper rifle - i think it's fair go make it hitscan again
  • "Un-draw" option for weapons that could have it (bow, throwing knives etc)
    since these weapons is 1/infinite ammo it doesn't need reload at all, but the fact that you're unable to un-draw is hilarious. You have to use quick melee to stop it, and it can screw your timings sometimes really hard (it takes 1.5 seconds just to be able charge again)

Well how can i tell you its a skill issue
I have 1200hrs in the game 60hz and i can confirm my friends are pc players and in every console players lobby they play good not only them but all pc players that i know have better aim than me cuz controlling recoil on mouse is easy with practice
Players are evolving its normal seeing kids are better now in the game its like comparing yourself in saison 1 to now you can see the difference in your skill and playstyle and i really hope u buy controller and play light or meduim and see how its so bad aiming with thumbs until u playing gyro with no aim assist like me because aim assist on this game is more more more weak than any other games like cod apex
So aim assist is not the problem embark know what to do and they nerfed it so bad gazilion years

Add kusarigama for light,primary attacks hit like sword but alt attack is u spin the chain and blade 160 degrees in front of u and most damage where blade hits not the chain,it’s skill based cause u hold down alt and the more u hold the longer u throw and only the blade part damages when spinning plus u can move your aim while spinning to make blade go in that direction.

To simply put it,the melee alt is more like aim and shoot but use aim to move the blade and hit box.

There r two ways of implementing this,either the melee projectile starts from an arc from the left side and goes to the centre line and move as u change your aim or the projectile starts from the crosshairs and moves where u move your aim

U may change between the two using a different stance using the weapon inspection button or add more combos using that button.

Either u can’t use light spec when using alt or give this weapon to medium with a wall run gadget or else it’s the most dull experience chasing player as a medium

No reload to learn recoil and no cool down for class spec and gadgets for fun ONLY in practice server
The grapple hook keeps pulling u in a wall unless u cancel it but it would be better if u could stick to walls for a few seconds and u can aim and shoot but it's for a limited time to avoid camping,maybe even a wall jump from the wall u grappling to.

The 93r time between burst is weird and not fun to use,make it so there isn't a gap or less time gap between burst and u can slightly nerf damage since u r increasing fire rate but the damage fall out is longer so there is a balance since due to recoil u can spam it long/medium range.

Add fanning revolver for light with incendiary bullets but they r projectile but hit hard,u can use fanning action to quickly fire bullet.

Ks23 needs a headshot buff 1.2x,wall penetration and NO bullet deviation.

Breach charge should break smaller holes in walls so lights can minimise exposure that large destructon has right now, because u have 3 charges u can still make bigger holes.It should still stack damage .

Revert Sword Lunge to 140. Removing Lunge+QM combo vs Light when Light kills Light fast with literally anything is nonsensical. Only change needed = Fix phantom strikes.

Sword was balanced.

  • No synergy with Dash = Would be too immobile for Light melee that needs multiple hits
  • No QM synergy = Breakpoints would be too slow for Light melee that needs multiple hits, requires not overshooting lunge to make it harder to aim at you, must stop right beside enemy to QM
  • No full damage multihit = Would be useless if >1 enemy, in melee as lowest HP class but 0 breakpoints hit on anyone except first, pick a gun for ranged non-multihit damage
  • No lingering flicks = Would be too readable for Light melee that needs multiple hits

Sword is the single worst weapon in the game. Not only is it melee on lowest HP class, you removed every single breakpoint fast enough to work vs even remotely competent players.

  • Vs Light: Lunge+QM = Must be 110
  • Vs Medium: Lunge x2 = Must be 125
  • Vs Medium: Lunge+QM+Primary = Must be 136
  • Vs Heavy: Lunge x3 = Must be 117
  • Vs Heavy: (Lunge+QM) x2 = Must be 135
  • Vs Heavy: (Lunge x2)+Primary = Must be 138

Your own patch notes LITERALLY imply Sword wasn’t unbalanced but got nerfed due to complaints. You separately address Sword as a “gameplay” change to make it less frustrating. Then you separately addressed “balance” changes, saying Cerberus, Pike, and FAMAS are over-performing but you won’t nerf them yet. ```On the gameplay side, (…) nerf to the Sword's secondary attack, aiming to reduce the frustration (…)

Finally, Balance-wise, (…) standout contenders like the Cerberus, Pike-556, FAMAS (…)
(…) monitoring several items based on their performance (…) like
ly to make some adjustments (…) coming weeks. These include the Cerberus 12GA, Pike-556 and FAMAS (…)```

with the help of some very good randoms, our team manages to wipe teams left and right
we got the cash box in every time
the only times got wiped were when both other teams rushed us at once during the last 30 seconds of a cashout
after which another team took it both times, making us loose the match

it doesnt feel good to be 3rd partied
but its especially bad if you are defending, since you already had more effort than the others to fight for the box/get the first steal first
playing and doing the objective is punished, while waiting around and camping for a last second steal is incentiviezed

please let us try 5v5 QC/cashout
(maybe alongside gradual payout instead of last second full value and adjusted overtime to give out to the loosing team until stolen back by the winners)

  • Cerberus is not OP. Needs a range nerf. Literally all. Ppl asking for damage nerf have to be sorry.

  • Lemme place barricades over debris.

  • Let my moolah mooo freely.

  • DON'T remove kyoto. Make it better. Add more buildings so that there's more destruction. Add more stuff to the underground areas in every building.

  • Revert sword damage nerf, but remove the ability to use evasive dash with the lunge, and remove the stupd multihit from lunge attack and instead do it to the primary one. Also fix the hitreg, I can't be damaging people who I'm not even touching.

  • Buff Winch Claw, but let us have the ability to break the winch somehow to let ourselves free.

  • Bring back quick meelee.

  • **Wall Running and Climbing **Specialization for lights.

  • Extra Jump Specialization for Mediums (like 5 double jump charges.), which leaves behind a kind of a glitch effect that teammates can use to jump as well.

  • Jetpack Specialization for Heavies.

Better screen movement. Like, your screen should tilt when you're turning corners, should dip down when you land on the floor, should tilt when you're looking sideways while sliding, etc.

Add Vehicles. Don't make them like Fortnite though.

The ks-23 needs 100% accuracy, any other buff is pointless

The ks-23 is the only direct hit projectile weapon that is not afforded the luxury of accuracy which is the main reason its suffering. In concept its great and i love the gun, but anyone who has played it for any significant ammount of time knows that its main point of frustration is its unrelieability. Because of the spread targets beyond 8 meters are a gamble to hit. The feature inplace to make it a skillful weapon is already the projectile, however this is ruined by the spread. You can predict your targets movement, lead your shot correctly but still miss because the game decided your slug goes left.

The only buff the ks needs to be good is accuracy. Buffs like range falloff or firerate wouldnt solve the underlying issue of it being frustrating to use beyond 8 meters, headshots without accuracy are pointless, damage is going to force winch ks back which was not very fun to die to. A bigger projectile would maybe work but decrease the guns skill expression.

Even with 100% accuracy the gun would be far from op due to the small mag and bad ttk. However it would be a lot more fun and a lot less frustrating to use

I know balance is an important issue, but I think one of the most detrimental problems with The Finals is the matchmaking. I understand there is no SBMM, but there has to be a EOMM system at play, which is killing this game. It's absolutely no fun terrorizing one game and then the next game getting absolutely crushed bc the game decides to give you level 1 players who have no experience. I can't believe I'm saying this, but this game needs SBMM or some version of it.

There was nothing wrong with the sword itself. The real issue lies in the matchmaking system, which fails to implement an Elo-based system (or MMR) that separates novices who can’t handle the sword from experienced users who can. Many of the clueless beginners don’t even realize their own shortcomings and instead keep whining that the sword should be nerfed. On top of that, in response to all the whining, embArk foolishly decided to reduce what was a precisely calculated damage value. The 140 damage was intentional and meticulously calculated, but the complainers managed to ruin it. embArk shouldn’t nerf this kind of “intentional and calculated damage.” Instead of listening to all the idiots, your should consider applying different patches for different servers—especially since America is worse than Asia. SERIOUSLY

[World tour]
World tour point system needs a rework, getting 6 points for getting into round 2 is insane.
Realistically getting 3rd in round 1 should net you 3 points then second and first should be 5 points
Second round 3rd place should get 5, second and first should net you 10(these all stack with the finals round results) winning final should net you 30 points losing should net you 20
so all in all in round one you come 1st you get 5 points, in round 2 you come first again you get 15 and in the final if you win you get 45 points. ATM the point system just feels meh this is me spitballing btw if you've got better solutions i would love to here it.

[Ranked/Cashout]
Would love to see some improvements in cashout and eventually ranked i feel like if you plug it in and hold it the money should gradually be given to you this will lessen the blow of 3rd parties and we can remove this plug meta its just a thought but i do feel like cashout needs something new its current system since most teams are just gonna grief when they are in first
Would love to see a system in ruby lobbies/diamond lobbies where placing third makes it so you don't lose any rp so it just gives +0 this would alleviate some pain in losing hours of ranked points in 1 match.

[Light]
Xp didn't need a damage increase it outshines arn by a mile, its damage and range are to high
Sword nerfs were a bit aggressive (i understand its not permanent but thank you for adjusting it) feel like the dmg could of been brought to 110 or 115 but hey im enjoy my sword free world for now
Invis is next to impossible to see in the nighttime setting (not a balance suggestion more of a compliant)

[Heavy]
minigun feels like it needs just a slight accuracy cone buff
Feels like winch didn't need the range buff it was already strong as is(reverting the range would be ideal)
Ks23 needs better hip fire
M60 did not need a dmg buff it contests with lewis now which shouldn't be the case, lewis is harder control and less bullets meaning it should have more dmg and range, whereas the m60 should be easier to control have more bullets but less damage

[Medium]
Cerberus is very unique it should have its fire damage be the brunt of its damage, every pellet should start fire damage but its overall pellet damage (that isn't from be fire) should be nerfed probably round to less than the model so 10 per pellet whilst making the fire damage do 20 the first shot then 35 then 50 to offset the lose of immediate damage give it a few extra meters of range
Famas might need a slight recoil adjustment to make it less easy (currently the best ar by a mile) and/or a damage nerf

Smoke nades need some downside currently they have no counter besides thermal or any motion sensors but you can only cover so much ground with them, maybe fire or gas should counter act them.

For newer players could we have exclusive contracts that reward 250 vrs for a complete, currently my friends are getting into the game and them not having certain util makes them feel meh about the game, would be nice as a catch up mechanic we could also allow club contracts to reward vrs aswell.
If you have any better suggestion about any of the changes I brought up id love to hear them 🙂

my team mates were higher rank than the lobby and they couldn't even played half ass good lets see if this is a one game thing because i am in a game with them again with the same guys. We lost again i was playing dagger didn't want to bother to carry them with other stuff so wanted to have fun. Even i wanted to try to carry them i play ranged weapons so i would be trying to dmg other teams while because they are just turrets in the cash boxes it wouldn't matter. They were ass 2 cerb and 2 healing beam. No demat cost us 1 obvious cash out. Beam made 0 difference because they were not getting trades because how can you get trades with cerbs...
So those rank means no shi* or it is just an random think indicates how lucky this guys got. Like Why the fuc* those guys made me lose 1.3k rs in 20 minutes. I don't want to carry plats play like bronzes i am okey to play with bronzez who are bronzez so i don't lose much rs even tho i get tilted how they play. This is things happen because of how garbage this game with its ranked system. 2 4 team rounds and you can get frees if you are bad or you can get unlucky and you need to go against all teams while other good team wants to stop you while not getting touched. IF any one asks what i was expecting they are plats 36.5k and above is top 1.5k right now. if this is how they play the game ranked is gonna be boring for full squads who play alright. I saw midest teams get to ruby because there is not enough good players in this game. Embark needs do so something about this or i don't think any one wants to grind ranked pr play the game because of those bs. Most people want to just grind ranked of a good game. You guys know this too because s1 and s2 top 10k was full diamonds with players with higher player count, even tho system for it dogsh**.
Fixing ranked will fix the games player count problem then skill diff that we have right now in my opinion.

# pseudo leaf my team mates were higher rank than the lobby and they couldn't even played half...

Rank clearly doesn't mean much.

I reached Diamond 4 in S5 and stopped there, as I just wanted to unlock the Deagles skin. I ranked up assisting two buddies who are on the aggressive high KDR side of the spectrum, while I'm more of a careful, back row support type. What they did in combat score was usually what I did in assist score. Didn't get carried but couldn't have made it on my own with randoms, so I would say I'm an okay-ish player.

I've played with and against other Diamond players, some really made me wonder how they even made it past Silver, especially when spectating their catastrophic accuracy, movement or decision making. So it really isn't that hard to rank up with the right team mates.

Thank yall embark for continuing to do an amazing job on my favorite game and please consider buffing the spear in any capacity!

rework sword. Make lunge charge a bit quicker, less or same damage than right now, let it cover more distance and change directions mid air. Give main attack more attack speed so it holds up in dps/ttk to other weapons. OR revert it. Dont leave it as a pool noodle, so many people where enjoying this game for beeing an fps where melee worked out without completly overtaking meta or beeing useless, now you pushed it to the useless side of things. I have a feeling all the special fun interaction stuff is also taken out bit by bit, like riding red gas canisters (which had no real use, but was fun/skill/knowledge expression). Give finals more character back, dont let the special weapons be useless.

No reload to learn recoil and no cool down for class spec and gadgets for fun ONLY in practice server
The grapple hook keeps pulling u in a wall unless u cancel it but it would be better if u could stick to walls for a few seconds and u can aim and shoot but it's for a limited time to avoid camping,maybe even a wall jump from the wall u grappling to.

The 93r time between burst is weird and not fun to use,make it so there isn't a gap or less time gap between burst and u can slightly nerf damage since u r increasing fire rate but the damage fall out is longer so there is a balance since due to recoil u can spam it long/medium range.

Add fanning revolver for light with incendiary bullets but they r projectile but hit hard,u can use fanning action to quickly fire bullet.

Ks23 needs a headshot buff 1.2x,wall penetration and NO bullet deviation.

Breach charge should break smaller holes in walls so lights can minimise exposure that large destructon has right now, because u have 3 charges u can still make bigger holes.It should still stack damage.

Make socreboard could show the weapon and spec in game.

AND please please please please share the healthybar to teammates when someone do damage and it can through the wall.

That is the only way to balance this game.
Those new features would not make a lot of change in high rank and team players, because that is the same when bind the ping key to mouse side button when they shoot and ping target in the same time, and talk to his teammate in dc, that is THE SAME.
That would also make solo sniper, MGL54, CL40 more useful in high rank for soloq.
Please please.
And that would also make close distance oneshot weapon like sledge, cerb, sword, dagger, DB, more and more difficult in casual, that is the key problem when new or solo players feel FRUSTRATED.
That, need the Key informantion to fight with teammate when solo.
Please auto ping when someone be kill and play dead camara, that is ridiculous for solo player fight with the team have DC, that is toooooooo unfair.
please and a new quick messege like
"please use the team movement gadge"
"I will use a team movement gadget."
And auto ping when someone use team movement gadget.
That is FUNDAMENT system, when this game in beta, that is already S6!!!
Still Not ADD.
If those changes make Heavy more week, just buff RPG damage to 120.
Bro the only way to make light in casual game less, is buff non-aim gadget.
Dash is fine
grapple would be fine if you add those new feature.
and Vanish woild be more and more Not FRUSTRATED to against.
That is the ONLY way.

World tour emrald is too much of a grind. It has nothing to do with skill from how things feel. It is just a time sink.

The most skillful teams will still take over 200 hours to get emrald. (if you think that number is dramatic, look at streamers who do subathons on this game. The time it took them to reach emrald 1 esentailly boiled down to an 8 hour work day for two and a half weeks). That is like a second job. I have a life and the finals will never be the center of it, expecting otherwise is just nonsense.

Light breach charge needs to break smaller holes that’s enough for lights to peek and shoot or go through and don’t leave large open holes like it already does and besides no one needs that level of destruction and it’s almost NEVER used!!!!!
Make damage STACK at least close to season 1 breach charge.

Add a flare gun that leave trails like the colourful purple smoke/sparkle if stuck on players and does small burn damage and sparks damage player teammates nearby,leaves more smoke if flare is stationary so it’s also a long range smoke bomb,it’s duel purpose.

Goo gun is pretty much forgotten,give it alt fire a charged shot where it creates 3x3 wall close range but doesn’t stun players like primary shots do OR maybe a movable object like what u get when u shoot a goo barrel that doesn’t stick to surfaces that u use for cover.

Revert Sword Lunge to 140. Removing Lunge+QM combo vs Light when Light kills Light fast with literally anything is nonsensical. Only change needed = Fix phantom strikes.

Sword was balanced.

  • No synergy with Dash = Would be too immobile for Light melee that needs multiple hits
  • No QM synergy = Breakpoints would be too slow for Light melee that needs multiple hits, requires not overshooting lunge to make it harder to aim at you, must stop right beside enemy to QM
  • No full damage multihit = Would be useless if >1 enemy, in melee as lowest HP class but 0 breakpoints hit on anyone except first, pick a gun for ranged non-multihit damage
  • No lingering flicks = Would be too readable for Light melee that needs multiple hits

Sword is the single worst weapon in the game. Not only is it melee on lowest HP class, you removed every single breakpoint fast enough to work vs even remotely competent players.

  • Vs Light: Lunge+QM = Must be 110
  • Vs Medium: Lunge x2 = Must be 125
  • Vs Medium: Lunge+QM+Primary = Must be 136
  • Vs Heavy: Lunge x3 = Must be 117
  • Vs Heavy: (Lunge+QM) x2 = Must be 135
  • Vs Heavy: (Lunge x2)+Primary = Must be 138

Your own patch notes LITERALLY imply Sword wasn’t unbalanced but got nerfed due to complaints. You separately address Sword as a “gameplay” change to make it less frustrating. Then you separately addressed “balance” changes, saying Cerberus, Pike, and FAMAS are over-performing but you won’t nerf them yet. ```On the gameplay side, (…) nerf to the Sword's secondary attack, aiming to reduce the frustration (…)

Finally, Balance-wise, (…) standout contenders like the Cerberus, Pike-556, FAMAS (…)
(…) monitoring several items based on their performance (…) like
ly to make some adjustments (…) coming weeks. These include the Cerberus 12GA, Pike-556 and FAMAS (…)```

imo sword didn't need a nerf, its already been nerfed and hasn't received any love, its a skill based weapon..
Its like you're punishing players for getting proficient with a weapon..
If you had 2 good sword players they could destroy unsuspecting players which also required teamwork to do, the sword has been made almost impossible to use solo now (Almost, still useable but no where near as fun as it used to be)

Im a heavy/medium main, swords were annoying to go against if they were a good sword user pre patch but honestly just bring a glitch trap and you should be able to take them out easy.. like they literally gave us the option to switch up our classes mid game so you could change you gameplay to counter theirs?

instead of complaining and saying to nerf everything, how about playing the class with the weapon and learning it so you can learn its weaknesses too when you have to go against it?

No one talks about it in this channel because NO ONE uses it. You tried to make it a good all-round weapon, but instead you just made it bad at everything. Buff DMG or revert the firerate nerf

Embark: can you please share some data on the percentage of time the most skilled team wins in Cashout? My guess is that it is far far lower than any other FPS. Because there is too much randomness in the matches and individual players are too powerless I fear you are squandering the potential of this great game. Please try some new things. Maybe give players their health back quicker. Why not try and see?

The Bunny Bash event might be the worst event that Embark has ever done. The idea of having an event that locks players to with the most toxic weapons such as the Cerb, CL-40, and Mini-gun in a power shift mode is mindboggling.

I know you devs are trying to come up with fun stuff for us player to enjoy, but the fact that even Valve devs were mocking an Embark dev trying to stream Bunny Bash on their personal twitch to the point the ended it almost immediately after it started should tell you something.

Make scoreboard show the weapon and spec in game.

AND please please please please share the health bar to teammates when someone does damage and it can go through the wall.

That is the only way to balance this game.

Those new features would not make a lot of change in high rank and team players, because that is the same thing, when whole team binding the ping key to mouse side button when they shoot and ping target at the same time, and talk to their teammate in DC.
That is THE SAME THING.

That would also make solo Sniper, MGL54, CL40 more useful in high rank for soloQ.
Please please please.
And that would also make close-distance one-shot weapons like sledge, cerb, sword, dagger, DB, more and more difficult to get easy kill in casual, that is the key problem when new or solo players feel FRUSTRATED.
That needs the key information to fight with teammate when solo.

Please auto ping the killer when someone has been killed and play death camera, that is ridiculous for solo players fighting with the team that has DC and they could talk the position when someone dead, but solo cant, that is toooooooo unfair.

Those are FUNDAMENTAL system in every mature competitive game, that need been add when beta, but that should have already S6!!!
Still not ADD!

If those changes make Heavy more weak, just buff RPG damage to 120.
Bro, the only way to make Light in casual games less common is to buff non-aim gadgets.

Dash is fine.
Grapple would be fine if you add those new features.
And Vanish would become less and less frustrating to go against.

That is the ONLY way to make this game balance.

NOT NERF!

Please, Embark.
Every attempt is doomed to fail — even if you make a 10 billion dollars major and get everyone on Earth to try The Finals, it would still fail.

High or low, old or new, great aim skill or not, team or solo — they are all playing completely DIFFERENT metas and having completely different experiences. That will never be balanced!

I've seen a lot of people ask for grapple buffs, and I think I have a cool idea for it. In the current game, there is a bug (feature?) you can throw a grenade and with good aim grapple onto it and fly with it. I think that instead of removing it you could make it so any time you throw a grenade, and then shoot your grapple close enough to it, it will snap onto it. This makes it much easier to perform, which is a big buff in my opinion. It would also be a lot more fun

reposting this cuz its been a long while and i still think its a cool idea

Heavy Specialisation: Ice Gun/Freezethrower

Similar in usage to the goo guns playstyle, in the sense that you are trading a direct combat specialisation for a support/area control specialisation. Its interactions would be like this (subject to change for balancing, these are just starting points):

  • Can apply frost to walls/floors/ceilings. Shooting the surface for a short time will only add a thin layer of ice, which makes the surface slippery and immune to being set on fire (nearby fire can melt it though, or a flamethrower). If you continue to freeze a surface, the material itself will become icey and fragile, allowing it to be broken by guns or melee, like a slightly stronger glass. It would also make both sides of the surface slightly transparent, so it wouldnt be stealthy by any means
  • Directly freezing a player will do little/no damage, but apply a slow debuff for debatable amount of time
  • You could also freeze certain gadgets like mines or turrets to disable them, and the enemy would have to shoot the ice off the turret to enable it again, or directly shoot the mine to activate it
  • Could be used to extinguish a teammate that is currently on fire, or any fire on the floor

the concept of ice could also be extended to barrels and grenades, athough im not sure if the barrels/nades would fully freeze the wall and allow it to be shot down, or if it would simply apply the slippery frost effect + fire immunity

I don’t think you understand how to read patch notes honestly. They said they’re monitoring other weapons not that they are over performing. Stand out means it’s just picked most often none of that was implication a weapon was too strong??? Secondly sword isn’t meant to be a team fight weapon it’s clearly a pick a target to pick off and get out. All they did was nerf the sword so it can’t wipe out ppl in 2.5 seconds and allow for you to react instead of panicking as the light dashes around like a fly at Mach 5 also sword grapple is one of the most popular combos along with dash so saying dash is its only viable duo build is kinda pointless

This ^. Not to mention their matchmaking and rank system make this even worse. Combining too many ranks to the point you have a diamond and a new player, playing together, and getting matches labeled as "very easy" or "easy" but the randomness along with the shitty spawns can make you get 6-8th multiple times, losing a lost of RS. Its only really a problem for people who solo queue making it go under the radar since not everyone is complaining about it. Its def a problem thats getting worse and itll take more than buffing and nerfing weapons. Hopefully once they start doing more frequent patches we'll see some bold changes

The sword damage nerf was due to the frustration on other lights recieving the lunge+qm combo. How can the Sword be an issue to lights (and especially gun lights) when they have the range and TTK advantage? You just single-handedly shut down and made your sword loving players annoyed by this nerf all to appease these gun loving lights who wants this game to be "just another shooter".

Best solution to make it more fun while minimizing the frustration is to revert the nerf, and add in new, and similarly competent melee/unique/unconventional weapon in the game so that there it would solidify the point of making this game balanced for all kinds of playstyle and not just guns.

I understand that there are like 2 melee weapons per class, but the issue is that it's pretty much rare to see them in ranked due to how bad it is (aside from the pre-nerfed/balanced sword.) Like I said here seasons ago, do NOT nerf sword and buff the other melee weapon to be just as competent as the sword. Do that while adding more competent and fun melee weapons and the game would be 10x more enjoyable without being "just another shooter"

bow, sniper, & throwing knives 1taps light at ?m 👍
sword has a 1tap combo against light at 6m(with heavy travel time) 😱

Jokes aside I play all classes pretty equally but light and heavy are usually my goto for having fun. Sword and throwing knives were always my favorite but the recent additions of shak/arn have made it so that its almost impossible to get a few kills in a fight without the chip damage killing you. Post nerf I dont think you can genuinely get a kill against any weapon in the entire game unless the players are bad and unable to shoot at you. I can understand why complaints about sword may have spiked since stungun was removed from the game almost 2 months ago now but we were just told its still 1 more month away. I have never had an extreme enough problem with either the sword or the stungun that I thought it was a good idea to outright remove them from the game. Not only that, but as a light, I thought the drawback was that we had mobility but lacked hp leading to instances where we COULD get 1shot, if i missed my stungun and wasnt able to play verticality(like grapple hook or gateway/jump pad) it always felt like I deserved to die to the sword.

The ks-23 needs 100% accuracy, any other buff is pointless

The ks-23 is the only direct hit projectile weapon that is not afforded the luxury of accuracy which is the main reason its suffering. In concept its great and i love the gun, but anyone who has played it for any significant ammount of time knows that its main point of frustration is its unrelieability. Because of the spread targets beyond 8 meters are a gamble to hit. The feature inplace to make it a skillful weapon is already the projectile, however this is ruined by the spread. You can predict your targets movement, lead your shot correctly but still miss because the game decided your slug goes left.

The only buff the ks needs to be good is accuracy. Buffs like range falloff or firerate wouldnt solve the underlying issue of it being frustrating to use beyond 8 meters, headshots without accuracy are pointless, damage is going to force winch ks back which was not very fun to die to. A bigger projectile would maybe work but decrease the guns skill expression.

Even with 100% accuracy the gun would be far from op due to the small mag and bad ttk. However it would be a lot more fun and a lot less frustrating to use

Honestly, the no showing rank at all is BS during a ranked game. I have been absolutely destroyed in gold lobbies by teams who are clearly ruby. Was it to hide matchmaking errors? Its infuriating not knowing the rank of the enemies even after the game is over. If you must hide it during the game I understand, but after is necessary

Smoke + Thermal gets brought up a lot, as there are limited counters available to it and easiest one is seen as Thermal on Light. What if Recon Senses came back on a limited range to offer that counter (as well as 3rd party detection at 75 ~ 125m, not 200m), along with Thermal Sights on Heavy? All 3 classes can bring smokes, but only Light makes easiest use out of it (Motion sensors work, but... eh, not reactively, it requires setup).

Add individual map bans for ranked. Starcraft 2 has a similar system. There are 7 maps in map pool and you can ban 3 of them so that you never play on them if you don't want to. I understand why such a system would be an issue for world tour but I strongly believe something like this should be implemented for ranked. Every time I see kyoto or las vegas (even tho new las vegas is more bearable), I want to close the game and just leave, no matter the class/weapon/build. Kyoto is a beautiful map but I would rather play 100 times of any other map than 1 game on Kyoto. Such a system could also factor quick play modes since every time I see Kyoto I just leave to search the new game. Allowing players to choose which maps they want to play will make everyone happy. If you want to play Kyoto or any other map, simply don’t ban it—there may be 24 other players who feel the same way.

I fucking hate Cerberus so much, it disgusts me.

I went to 39.9k twice with dagger, but tried to soloQ and dropped to 33k.

Then I said fuck it, played 5 matches of Cerberus, and apeshitted my way back to Diamond. In one of those games, my actual Diamond rank-up, I played against Carnifex. He tried to plug in a cashout, and I two-shot him with Cerberus. Yup, really outplayed him. Deleted a top player with zero effort using a weapon I’ve never touched before. I don’t even play Medium, don’t use Demat, and I still wiped him and his Heavy just because I picked the right broken loadout.

They avoided us for the rest of the match because we were running double Cerberus and M60. Clearly the better players, right? We “outskilled” a top 50 team with two busted guns and 500 HP worth of Mediums. Sure, we lost the final round, but I shit on top 500 players just by pressing left click with a weapon that takes no aim, no risk, and is glued to the strongest class in the game.

There are zero braincells involved in pressing Demat and vaguely aiming to two-shot anyone who dares to be near you.

Meanwhile, dagger? I need to lock in, play perfect, position properly, mechanically execute dash > stab, and maybe get a kill. And if I miss? I’m just dead.

Miss your shots as Medium? Press spec and vanish into the floor.
Mispositioned during a cashout? Press spec and stall it for 10 seconds like it’s nothing.
Playing dagger? One bodyblock and I can’t do jackshit.

⸝

Dagger vs XP-54:

If XP-54 lights me up and I don’t dash at the perfect time? I’m dead before I can even get close. One mistake and I vanish. No tools, no margin, no second chances.

⸝

Dagger vs Winch:

If a Heavy pulls me with the Winch and I don’t instantly goo or pre-empt it, I’m deleted by five Shak bullets. I have to outpredict and outsweat him, and even then I might just die trying.

⸝

Now let’s look at Cerberus Medium:

XP-54 lights me up?
I’ve got 250 HP, Goo grenades, and Demat. I just walk out. Tank, vanish, reposition, come back in. Zero punishment.

Heavy winches me?
I shoot > melee > shoot him in the face and he’s dead. Then I still have a shell ready to one-shot any Light that walks in after him. No timing. No reads. No risk. Just fire and forget.

⸝

I FUCKING CAN’T with this game’s balancing.

Why does the 250 HP class get a weapon that deletes everything around it with no effort, while the 150 HP class gets a melee weapon that only works if the enemy is a full-on moron or the dagger player has 1000+ hours of precision, patience, and raw execution? And somehow Reddit still finds a way to cry about dagger, a weapon with under 0.1% pickrate, like it’s breaking the game — and then it gets nerfed anyway

Why is it only like 1/30 deaths I get to see someone’s player card? It seems like it should show every time. Also, it would be great to be able to see teammates’ player cards before/during a match. It would be so nice to get some idea about how I should expect them to play. Also, less important, but I often forget to check if teammates are in voice chat until we wipe, but then I can’t see the indicators until we spawn again. Seems like something that should also maybe be on the scoreboard or something so we can check anytime

I wish there were more variations of maps. I like 'under construction', 'duck and cover', 'high rise' and 'sandstorm' as alternate versions of a few maps. I wish Skyway Stadium, Kyoto, Sys$Horizion and Monaco had alternatives as well.

Also the game has been way more fun playing in casual modes without the stun gun in every light's loadout. Whatever the change is I hope it's still not used by most as a crutch for a free kill.

Hey man I completely agree. It was a stupidly strong and underrated weapon with animation cancels because it was really accurate at that range. But when they removed it it forced players to use it only beyond that range and it's absolutely awful to use now because of how hard it is to hit someone accurately at that range. A projectile speed increase would be massive for its accuracy but I think bringing back animation cancel would feel a trillion times nicer. I guess embark feels that ks23 should've been a long range weapon but they kinda killed that potential when it's a projectile weapon and it felt stupid good at close range

Nerf xp-54 damage
Nerf Cerberus damage
Nerf Trap Sledge combo (goo, lockbolt, winch theres too many options)
Nerf ARN by adding more recoil

this season is legit just light & and heavy > medium. Every single medium gun is usless other than Cerberus and famas. You can get kills with say the fcar and other guns but in the grand scheme guns like xp-54 and Cerberus, ARN, minigun and sledge have so much more leeway. xp-54's damage and range are insane, I can get laserd by a xp-54 from across a bridge, losing half my health in less than a second from 50-60m, ARN literally doesnt have recoil, which makes 0 sense for a light weapon when they already have high mobility and small hitboxs . Heavy has goo gun, lockbolt and winch to trap a player or bring them closer to do 220 in one swing, and they also have the minigun which can do massive damage and insta kill a medium if they just wind it up before peaking, or hide behind shield and medium heal beam, there's no counter to any of the things I just listed, mediums weapons cant hold up to the damage and range. The only guns are famas which has little to no recoil after the recent patch and high burst damage, and Cerberus which can do 170 in one shot along with fire damage.

All of this plus the fact spawning is a mess with 2 teams spawning next to each other, cashboxs spawning right next to each other, people spawning 200m+ away from cashout with time to steal or theirs that they were just defending and instead spawning 80m away from the cashout that has 15 secs left before its done. Aswell as the meta of just 3rd party stealing last second, or the 1st place team, teaming with the 4th place team to get 2nd knocked out. With spawns making this targeting even worse cause you are forced in a position that puts you in a disadvantage. Finally your matchmaking will put a ruby and a new player together, or against each other (even worse) and itll label matches as "very easy" and "easy" when, accounting with all of the just mentioned problems makes it boil down to who has more dumb luck and thats it, causing many players to lose due to poor luck rather than skill.

I got to diamond with ease and majority of the matches are just "who gets the better spawn" regardless of skill. Please fix matchmaking and nerf one of these guns for now, the game feels like it is such a poor state and many people agree mentioning alot of the problems that I am now.

Arn needs a slight damage buff like 1-2 more damage to make it viable as an option. Medium needs an smg, a rifle, not a dual wield full auto Glock, something like the cmmg banshee for example

Im so sick of night time cheaters on eu servers man.
After midnight on eu, all the wh, aimbotting, spinbots come out to play. And they do not hide it well. People crossmap one shotting with guns that are close range. Headshotting people without looking at them. Infinite ammo. People clearly using wh and aimbot. They are so blaitant about it to. No matter what mode you go in to after midnight. Most games will have cheaters. And i see the same people again and again doing it. So something needs to change with the anticheat. Turn it up a notch at night time.
But i know people in this discord refuse to belive it or refuse to agnolage it or they are just to stupid to see it. Or that they are using it themselvs and dont want embark to see the problem. But its getting stupid now. Pls look in to it.

Make scoreboard show the weapon and spec in game.

AND please please please please share the health bar to teammates when someone does damage and it can go through the wall.

That is the only way to balance this game.

Those new features would not make a lot of change in high rank and team players, because that is the same thing, when whole team binding the ping key to mouse side button when they shoot and ping target at the same time, and talk to their teammate in DC.
That is THE SAME THING.

That would also make solo Sniper, MGL54, CL40 more useful in high rank for soloQ.
Please please please.
And that would also make close-distance one-shot weapons like sledge, cerb, sword, dagger, DB, more and more difficult to get easy kill in casual, that is the key problem when new or solo players feel FRUSTRATED.
That needs the key information to fight with teammate when solo.

Please auto ping the killer when someone has been killed and play death camera, that is ridiculous for solo players fighting with the team that has DC and they could talk the position when someone dead, but solo cant, that is toooooooo unfair.

Those are FUNDAMENTAL system in every mature competitive game, that need been add when beta, but that should have already S6!!!
Still not ADD!

If those changes make Heavy more weak, just buff RPG damage to 120.
Bro, the only way to make Light in casual games less common is to buff non-aim gadgets.

Dash is fine.
Grapple would be fine if you add those new features.
And Vanish would become less and less frustrating to go against.

That is the ONLY way to make this game balance.

NOT NERF!

Please, Embark.
Every attempt is doomed to fail — even if you make a 10 billion dollars major and get everyone on Earth to try The Finals, it would still fail.

High or low, old or new, great aim skill or not, team or solo — they are all playing completely DIFFERENT metas and having completely different experiences. That will never be balanced!

Please revert the sword changes. I don’t even talk in here, but I felt like I needed to add my voice for whatever reason. Nerfing the TTK for sword while not increasing their survivability is just an insane change. “Just play another weapon” no other weapon is as fun to me as a sword is.

Revert the change and actually use your brains to think of how best to balance the weapon. I’m not playing this game until yall do that

No reload to learn recoil and no cool down for class spec and gadgets for fun ONLY in practice server
The grapple hook keeps pulling u in a wall unless u cancel it but it would be better if u could stick to walls for a few seconds and u can aim and shoot but it's for a limited time to avoid camping,maybe even a wall jump from the wall u grappling to.

The 93r time between burst is weird and not fun to use,make it so there isn't a gap or less time gap between burst and u can slightly nerf damage since u r increasing fire rate but the damage fall out is longer so there is a balance since due to recoil u can spam it long/medium range.

Add fanning revolver for light with incendiary bullets but they r projectile but hit hard,u can use fanning action to quickly fire bullet.

Ks23 needs a headshot buff 1.2x,wall penetration and NO bullet deviation.

Breach charge should break smaller holes in walls so lights can minimise exposure that large destructon has right now, because u have 3 charges u can still make bigger holes.It should still stack damage.

Good day to you all & Embark, my beloved! 💖 ||(Even though you sliced my heart in two with the sword nerf, at least you have a very unique, shiny game..? 🥹)||

Sometime ago my sharp eyesight caught the outrageous change where the Sword's damage output was severely nerfed with no proper reasoning... other than the excessive disappointment of players who haven't tried hard enough to face the edge of the blade.. literally, 90% ||(my estimate 🤓)|| of you have (very) long-range and all of which, other than the dagger.. ||(sorry daggers.. your weapon may be 🤏 but it can seriously cause proper 💀!! 💪)||, can easily hit the sword warriors... just aim, think and dodge better, literally! Find a teacher, senpai, Sensei, Sifu, direct commander or whatever and think creatively; there are so many ways to escape from & defeat a player with a Sword... c'mon.

I have given informative responses to people feeding back that the Sword is hard to counter and, in some particular aspects, maybe it is.. but it's also hard to master. High risk, high reward. For reference, here are my responses in order of most recent, in case you're interested:

And the honourable mention of making feedback properly, not harshly:

Right now, with the dulling of the blade.. so did it dull my fun in the game as a Blademaster.
As many have already stated, the Sword is such a creative weapon choice in an arena-like shooter and the way it works in The Finals was perfect, but now it's just kinda shattered.. the damage as it was is needed to compensate for the risk the Sword user takes: you'll look danger straight in the eyes, knowing full-well you might turn into a tiny little statue with a majestic cloud o' gold. Let's not forget, the lunge (which was nerfed) has quite the wind-up time. Doing this mid-fight, unless properly calculated, can be fatal for yourself (and a little embarrassing.. 😳 especially when you miss the lunge and just awkwardly slide past the target 😂).
Compare that to e.g Call of Duty, where there is a dual sword that literally one-shots anyone... and it's very possible people complained about that, but it's still in the game left unchanged damage-wise because, I'm guessing, the balancing was done elsewhere, where I feel like it should be here as well, instead of blatantly reducing values without anything else to keep the gameplay fun still. Please, reconsider this change!

Anyways.. I'm really, very, ultimately, extremely disappointed by this change and, unfortunately, it's reason enough for me to stop playing as frequently as I once did.
If this straight-up unnecessary & ruthless nerf is reverted & reconsidered through other means, then I'll hear it one way or another, but for now.. this Blademaster vanishes into the shadows. 🌫️😶‍🌫️🌫️ Good luck & have fun everybody!

ngl ive been maining dagger for the past like 2ish weeks and i dont understand why it would need a buff or a nerf...150 degree backstab angle is pretty good, and it really performs similarly to how it did before, because the weapon's effectiveness really depends on positioning
my only complaint is that ive missed a few stabs because the charging animation is a little silly...can we get maybe a little glint on the end of the dagger blade (like the bow) that shows when its fully charged, or let me tap right click to still do the attack ^_^
great game embark keep up the good work <3

Can anyone explain me why this game balancing is always in favor of medium players? First there is model that is broken since s0 till s5 pretty much they nerf it just to bring another op shotgun cerberus that is the most op gun ever in the finals history only c4 stacked on top of barrel was more op then that .... Every season lights are getting nerfs even tho they are not strong but medium nah lets just keep them strong even tho they have already best guns out of all 3 classes while being the most usefull class on top of it, support class that have access to best weapons in game that can kill basically anything if played right with their hp pool. Light cant win 1v1 against medium unless they play wrong and miss few shots, same for heavy, there is no way to really compete in face to face encounter with that class, Support class should focus on support and not on being the best in every aspect of the game, light guns suck so hard bcs of how you pretty much nerfed every gun of that class every season why not doing that to mediums? start buffing heavy and light guns to make it shine somehow more then mediums, im tired of medium meta, even if thats the majority of community we need changes of meta cuz how long can someone play only one class in order to compete. Cerberus is way too op so nerf it to ground and keep in mind that there are other classes that need love. Stop hating lights so much, recent guns u added to this class are totally mid or even below that, while lights should have very high dps, its high risk high reward and now all that is left is high risk and barely any reward, main reward is movement and movement only and it doesnt let you win games. Mediums getting good guns every freaking season is another absurd. Famas top tier weapon, Cerberus ABOVE OP, pike another crazy good weapon till you nerfed it, like why not giving such a good weapons to class that actually should be able to do massive dmg?

Hi Embark Team,

First off, I really enjoy The Finals — it’s an awesome game and I especially love the amount of creativity and style you’ve packed into it. The stickers are a great touch and really help personalize weapons in a fun way.

I’d love to see the ability to place more stickers on weapons — right now it feels a bit limited. It would also be great if there were more customization options for how stickers are applied, giving players more creative control over their look.

Keep up the great work!

Thank you for your response EMBARK Team. The idea that my clan and I wanted to share with you is the following: What do you think of a game mode called "Roulette" In this mode the idea would be that at the beginning of the game in the "Fast Money" style you do not know which character you will play, just as you will not know what weapons or gadgets will be assigned to you, but rather it will be random, this to test the players how good strategists they can be by playing with everything at random. When you die and respawn, you will also appear with a different build and a random character. If it cannot be launched first as a game mode, it could be an attractive event to see how much fame it gets first and then become a game mode like the others. Come on THE FINALS team, you have a lot of juice to get out of this game! It is simply phenomenal!

Please, stop the nerfs already. Nerfs just take the fun out of the game. Sure, if something is too powerful, it should be nerfed—but doing mindless nerfs like this doesn’t help the game at all. It would be far better to buff other aspects to balance things out.

This latest nerf to the sword is the worst nerf in the game’s history, and it was made just by listening to noobs. Ranged weapons are strong not only at range but also in close combat. Melee weapons, however, are supposed to be powerful up close because they carry the risk of engaging in close quarters. Some idiots just don’t understand that a melee weapon should be countered before you even get in range. The sword’s 140 damage was carefully calculated, but because of whining from “noobs who can’t handle a sword,” it’s now become the worst weapon ever. MUST revert sword.

Also, the American server isn’t as good as the Asian server, so we shouldn’t be basing patch decisions on the opinions of North American players. Alternatively, you should strongly consider applying different patches for different servers.

Before I say what I want to say, I just want everyone to know I love this game:
I recently unlocked the Valkyria outfit. The outfit is great! However, the voice that came with it is extremely robotic and not pleasant. The way she says lines are extremely non human sounding and it sounds like the void. If the development team can please take a look at the voice of Valkyria, i would appreciate it.
Also, i have recently noticed that demolition causes unnecessary smoke which blinds the player from seeing the opponent and gives the opponent an unfair advantage. It has happened so many times with me when an enemy player has demolished something to get to me and in the process, they are there in front of me but i cant see them properly because the demolition caused so much smoke and they get an unfair advantage to land their first shots and eliminate me while i am still trying to search them properly to shoot them. I think this is a serious thing that development team needs to investigate and remove from the game.

Why 2v2 Deserves a Real Mode in The Finals (Not Just a Custom Room Afterthought)

Look, not everyone wants to go through the hassle of organizing custom lobbies just to enjoy a tight, duo-based match. Suggesting we “just make a custom room” isn’t a real solution—it’s a workaround. You don’t see people having to make custom matches for TDM or Quick Cash, right? That’s because modes with potential get official support.

2v2 has a ton of potential. Smaller team comps open up new layers of strategy, quicker engagements, and more intimate, high-stakes firefights. Not every player wants to wrangle 3 teammates—or deal with randoms who don’t communicate. 2v2 gives players tighter control, and for a game built on movement, chaos, and creativity, that sounds like a perfect fit.

Putting 2v2 in a real matchmaking playlist would give it exposure, data, and a player base—not lock it away in some dusty custom room no one’s using. Give us the option. Let the community decide if it’s worth keeping. Worst case? It doesn’t work out. Best case? You open the door to a mode people didn’t even know they needed.

Respawn times and cashout times are halved, cashouts give half as much money, every item with an item charge now has DOUBLE the amount of charges (jump pad now gets two used, goo grenade now gets 4), and TWO in-game events happen at the same time.

The ks-23 needs 100% accuracy, any other buff is pointless

The ks-23 is the only direct hit projectile weapon that is not afforded the luxury of accuracy which is the main reason its suffering. In concept its great and i love the gun, but anyone who has played it for any significant ammount of time knows that its main point of frustration is its unrelieability. Because of the spread targets beyond 8 meters are a gamble to hit. The feature inplace to make it a skillful weapon is already the projectile, however this is ruined by the spread. You can predict your targets movement, lead your shot correctly but still miss because the game decided your slug goes left.

The only buff the ks needs to be good is accuracy. Buffs like range falloff or firerate wouldnt solve the underlying issue of it being frustrating to use beyond 8 meters, headshots without accuracy are pointless, damage is going to force winch ks back which was not very fun to die to. A bigger projectile would maybe work but decrease the guns skill expression.

Even with 100% accuracy the gun would be far from op due to the small mag and bad ttk. However it would be a lot more fun and a lot less frustrating to use

also can we get a eclipse shade revolver so we have one that doesnt clash so heavily with the dot sight?

Stop making potentially fun stuff monotonous as hell, these bunny bash challenges with 10 games played is annoying, world tour needing to get 2400 poitns, 1300 points in quick cash, I just want to play the game, not keep gridning everying all the time

PowerShift is just high rank players spawn camping farming kills instead of playing OBJ. How this can be fixed I don’t know, but I love spending 10 minutes of my limited time on this earth just sitting at my spawn tapping my stick occasionally so I don’t get kicked and my teammates have already left (although all of your teammates leaving the match with no penalty is basically just a core gameplay mechanic in any game mode at this point). Exciting gameplay

am i crazy or would a wall jump special for light go kind hard
it wouldn't be like a standard special with a cooldown, but you can just infinitely walljump to make yourself harder to hit, traverse the land, etc.
could make for some really cool clips

NON GAMEPLAY SUGGESTIONS

  1. Allow Gun Customization in Game Lobby.

  2. Create a Whisper Chat function for players on your friends list. Create a Clan Chat available in games. (You're Nexon, Combat Arms implemented this)

3.Reduced Rank Loss Penalties if players on your team left
