Change the ranked RBMM into SBMM maybe somewhat so that the game counts your four last games and how you played in them and sets an average score from them which decides what players it pairs you up in your lobby. The game would continue to look at the scores of your current last four games and chance your average score according to it. And ofc it would take your current rank to account, so that you still play against players in the same rank.

Sure, it might make queues to games longer, but it will be a lot more fair and easier for lower ranks to play and progress, when playing against people of the same skill level.

[vale acorn]

The club daily where you have to hit opponents with 2 flashbangs is non functional, needs to be fixed please and thank you

also reducing dash to one charge is insane, buff the other two light abilities instead.

[runic sierra]

PRETTY SURE IK

the heavy battlepass deagles skin lag the game so bad, its probably because someone had that skin equipped.

[pastel shore]

Hi, Embark.
I've been playing since the Beta version, and from the very beginning, I really liked the sledgehammer. I played exclusively with it for a year and a half — I knew all the timings, played well, and was in the top 3 players in Europe in Quick Cash, and top 10 globally.
After the nerf, the sledgehammer became completely unplayable. Combos don’t work, and any decent player above Gold rank can easily dodge the hits.
It would've been better if you had nerfed the knife, so it couldn’t kill a Medium with one hit

[arctic pendant]

FIX fucking glitch skin have 2k PC, all it took was bro emoting for my PC to alt F4 it self. or straight remove it

[hazy skiff]

Buff melees, recent nerfs had made almost all of them a chore to play for less reward than the guns offered in all the classes

[burnt nymph]

i am the only one, or does it feel like medium had became almost worthless?

[hallow birch]

SOLO Ranked is brain damage self face slap right now

[compact ore]

Its really hard to detect third party device?

[rigid agate]

Nerf daggers. Or atleast of a rework on it. Lights coming up dealing 320 damage infront of u and not behind anymore, and stop making lights meta al the time, pls make something for medium class

[minor notch]

Yoooo wait best suggestion I’ve seen

[errant crater]

buff mp5 reload speed

[languid niche]

Please add notification sound for chat box

[royal gust]

Seriously bring back Sledge and also nerf KS. At this point KS is a ranged sledgehammer with the same damage (since charged attack is pointless to use now). It's crazy how the normal attack on sledge does as much damage as a shot from KS whilst KS has range.. Sledge should dominate close range and having good movement and knowing how to engage should be rewarded.

[pseudo latch]

Yall really need to just rework the KS23 into a pellet shotgun at this point

Be a dead simple rework too. Ten bullets, ten damage each, a hundred structural damage each. Put it in whatever pretty shape you want (ten pin bowling would be a nice one) and bam, KS23 immediately goes up a letter grade via sheer consistency.

[viscid fog]

The several new cosmetics are bugged or do not work as intended.

The new .50 Akimbos skins are very buggy and can suddenly spawn way more particles than they should, causeing huge frame drops, specifically talking about Stacktrace Reaper and Verisect Duality. (Same thing was happening at the and of last season with Sl.e.d.gehammer and Ember Crush skins, where they would spawn way too many particles, resulting in massive framedrops as well.

The Neurosplice Terminal does not modify the voice at all and Sal's Halo "modifies" the voice to the same pitch and sound regardless of the original voice.

The new cosmetics are amazing and I wish using them would be as satisfying as looking on them in contestant editor.

Bringing this up again as Thursday nears and it would be nice to hear this issue addressed.

[proven crown]

LOVE the new gadgets ♥️ The game is balanced. Thank you Embark

[quick coyote]

Make players scream and yell when set on fire by flamethrower

[naive narwhal]

There is currently a bug where melee attacking while sliding stops the slide and kills all your momentum, the frequency of the bug scales with the lunge distance value of the attack, making it very common on spear and dual blades, and less common on dagger. I would like to have either it fixed, or to be able to turn melee lunge off until it is fixed

[wide void]

FIX THE GAME:

1. Stop changing the FoV when only using left click with Bow. Why'd you program the extra zoom on right click if you were just gonna zoom on every shot? Make this toggleable with [Reload] for those who still want it for some reason.
2. Make SH1900's pellet spread a symmetrical, orderly pattern like every other shotgun.
3. Change Dematerializer's visual effect to stop making it refract light. It's annoying as fuck when you're trying to aim through it and people are actually a little more left or right than they appear. People still put their Effects setting on Medium just to help mitigate this.
4. When you detect someone with Tracking Dart, the glittery effect that indicates where they are obscures their actual player model.
5. This glitter effect itself is obscured by smoke. Why can you sense people through walls but not smoke? Bug?
6. There are weapons whose actions can be swiftened by swapping to and from a gadget. For example, ShAK-50 reloads faster if you cancel the reload animation, and Dual Blades lets you stop swinging and instead start deflecting. This is unintuitive behavior that arbitrarily raises the skill floor and just makes the game more annoying to control. Remove all instances where gadget-swapping helps swiften actions and maybe buff those actions to compensate, like letting the ShAK-50 just reload faster in general.
7. Add a setting to make the crosshair visible at all times, even when you're aiming down sights. You already allow third-party crosshairs, so...
8. Allow us to see ping and other networking stats in-game.
9. Buff the underperforming weapons. Sword, Sledgehammer, and Model 1887 should be obvious picks to start with.
10. Rework Cloak and Vanish Bomb into being true invisibility, not this shimmering bullshit. You can increase the noise, give it a decloaking period, give the user a damage penalty, etc. to balance it.
11. Make canisters explode when they first hit terrain. Current physics suck.
    And leave CL-40 alone...

[neat stump]

Nothing more annoying than 3 mediums with CL-40 spamming everywhere.

[worn burrow]

A = 50-50
B = 60-60
x = 65

this is a buff i would like to see for the bladez
X = 65 -> 90
if X does 90 dmg that makes it actually useful against H and makes the combos more forgiving against M if u miss a hit without making it abusable in any way i can think of

full combo (A+B+X)
100+120+65=285
100+120+90=310

miss 1A
50+120+65=235
50+120+90=260

miss 1B
100+60+65=225
100+60+90=250

B+X
120+65=185
120+90=210

this change makes the combos more flexible and makes missing one slash not as punishing
for example the best combo vs M is A+B=220 +qm for 260dmg
if u miss one slash from A + both B = 170 so now u have to do the slow X for only 65 =235 not enough to kill the M and u still have to qm, its the same if u hit 2A and miss one B =160 +X=225 +qm
if X did 90 then missing one slash on either A or B makes X still finish the M without qm

as it is right now X is almost never used its pretty much always better to qm instead of X

[rustic tinsel]

The current approach to nerfs is going too far. Everything is getting weaker. Stop nerf.Just buff underperforming and unfairly nerfed things. Nerf parrots never stop. When something gets nerfed, they whine to nerf something else.

If you keep listening to people who ask for nerfs not because something is op,but just because it annoys them(cause skill issue), of course the game will fall apart.

If the Sword’s lunge doesn’t go back to 140 dmg,it’s just useless.If it’s under 140,you can’t use it against Medium or Heavy at all.Right now, can't even use it against Light.That value was calculated and made sense in terms of balance.

Everyone knows Dagger,Sword and all melee get countered by Light.But you nerfed Sword while pretending it was for the sake of Lights, even though it was obviously done to benefit Mediums.
Medium has the highest pick rate and top performance in WT and ranked.There’s a reason people started saying “The Mediums”.
Heavy is still powerful at close range,so melee isn’t even a threat to them.

Medium has tons of tools to counter melee: turrets, mines, goo grenade, glitch trap, dematerializer, jump pad, zip line, proximity sensor, and a bunch of weapons. And still,these skill-issue players cry for nerfs to melee and weak wepon even though they already have all those tools.They just can’t handle melee because of a skill issue.
I play all class,melee was never a problem when I played Medium or Heavy(not to mention Light).But because of these dumb whining, stuff that wasn’t even meta got nerfed.That’s how you ruin patches.

About Double Barrel,you nerfed it, then reverted it.Because Light has low HP, so it needs to have high DPS. DB is only viable up close, and it needs to 2-tap Heavy.That balance was correct, so reverted.
The same goes for Sword.Nerfing melee dmg is saying “don’t use it.”It’s the same mistake as with DB. Sword was built around close-range and low health.it required specific damage combinations for each classes.so lunge was 140.

[slender girder]

For consoles, make Crossplay OFF Playstation AND Xbox. You know, like normal.

[twin helm]

hit sledge with another nerf it wasnt enough

[tame vessel]

Here is a list of weapons that need to be buffed but not make them meta in the next balance patch

Spear: increase the basic attack damage combo to 70, 80, 95 and increase the spin attack damage to either 120 or 130

KS-23: increase the projectile speed to 500m/s and either add a 1.2x headshot multiplier or decrease the fire rate to 73 RPM and increase the player damage to 120

Riot shield: increase the swing speed by a little and make it so we can bash people while blocking if they get too close and the bash will do no damage but will knock them back a bit but not too far maybe like 5 meters and increase the movement speed when blocking

R.357:Increase the bodyshot damage to 75 and decrease the headshot multiplier to 1.9 therefore making it 75 × 1.9=142.5 and also decrease the fire rate by a little bit maybe from 140 to 130

Dual blades: add a parry mechanic so it can parry secondary attacks of other melee weapons like the sledgehammers overhead charge but it can't parry the primary attacks of other melee weapons and increase the first swing damage from 50 to 55 and increase the second swing damage from 60 to 65 and lastly increase the final attack damage from 65 to 75 and make it so the final attack can be done faster and increase the movement speed when deflecting by just a little bit

AKM: increase magazine capacity to 34, 35 or 36, the choice is yours on what number you choose

ARN-220: increase the fire rate to 750 rpm, decrease the duration of the tactical reload animation from 2.45s to 2.30s, decrease the duration of the full reload animation from 2.80s to 2.60s

Smoke Grenade: decrease the ammo from 3 to 2, and decrease the cooldown from 50s to 20s

please, please Embark these weapons and gadget need some love
Hopefully you guys see this, these emojis will highlight the message so you can see them 🥇:🤠🤯😵:⚽️:grinning:😆🙃😇🫠

[fallow gust]

1. Please add the option to preview how the animation will look on the player card before buying it

2. Right now, everyone sees their own character in the center at match start. It’d be great if everyone saw the same thing — that way, being in the center would actually feel meaningful.

3. Please add a way to see how many kills you’ve made with each weapon.

4)Would be great if the intro showed some player stats — like how many kills they’ve made with their current weapon, or their average kills/deaths. Maybe show it under the center character only, or even under everyone. Even better if it’s customizable.

5. Please add an option to see your ping.

6)Please add a replay system.

7. Add an option to inspect weapon skins in first person, or some way to preview them in-game before buying.

8. I think it would be cool to add a light upgrade system for abilities or weapons — nothing too extreme. For example, Light’s dash could have two upgrade paths: one that gives you an extra charge (so 4 instead of 3), and another that lets you dash through walls once every 30 seconds. These upgrades could unlock at certain ability levels. I believe this kind of system would make builds more interesting and encourage players to experiment with different combinations.

Feedback for THE FINALS – Legacy Battle Pass System

I’ve been an active player since Season 1 of THE FINALS, and one of the things I really appreciated was the feeling of owning exclusive items tied to that time. It felt special — like a recognition of having been there from the beginning.

Now that those Battle Pass items are available again through Legacy Passes, it feels like that exclusivity is gone. The unique value of those cosmetics is diminished, and it honestly takes away some of the pride I had in unlocking them back then.

I totally understand that you want to support new players and give them access to cool cosmetics. But I believe there’s a middle ground that could respect both sides. For example:

Add an “OG” tag or visual effect for players who unlocked items during the original season.

Make visual variants for re-released cosmetics.

Or keep certain premium items permanently exclusive to the original season.

This way, new players can still enjoy content, but early supporters won’t feel like their efforts and timing are being overlooked. I love THE FINALS — it’s a fantastic game — but this change genuinely feels like a step backward for long-time players.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

[raw blaze]

We already got a banner and outline for your player card thingie for S1! Pretty nice! Would be cool to see from each season tho ❤️

give Bullseye Barry the voice that practse range dummies have. You recently gave it to the crash test dummy, when the real target dummy skin (Bullseye Barry) you left alone with booty default skin WTF is that

hello. i went from scary a hammer main with level 6 skin. to a hammer welder that gets bullied by every light, even someone who is new can easly delete me from the game. bro how can a sniper light beat me in close combat? i tried every gadget with every strat. there is no way this was good balancing embark. pls don't reward bad players.

[fleet nymph]

A small suggestion for the “Mute” button. I think you should add the ability to mute voice and text channels separately. I found that the “Mute” button does not block text chat. The only way to protect yourself from toxic behavior in chat is to block the player, but even then there is a limit of 50 people on my account.

[cloud jungle]

people are AFK'ing quickplay lobbies for easy points, either give more points for players actually playing the game to discourage this or do something about it, its essentially griefing the gameplay experience

[untold venture]

embark feed the gooners

[hallow birch]

You are silly if you think the devs care a flying fk about all this, these changes are being requested since Season 2 but they are focused only on cosmetics and materialism, actually the whole CASHOUT mode and system is FLAWED cause of luck dynamics and hope dynamics, so this game will never make it, they simply do not understand this, I don't know why it is taking them so long to notice this.

[high wing]

SEASON 7: MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT

Core experience is flawed. The new €30 Battle Pass tier proves player experience is secondary to monetization.

Still Missing Basic Features:

No In-Game Profiles (standard in FPS).
No Match History (essential online).
No Personal Stats (classes, weapons, specs, gadgets).
No Community Stats (trends, data).
No Ping Indicator (basic necessity).
No Direct DMs (limits social).
Poor Friend Status (game time, round).
No Clear Numerical Weapon Stats.
No Ranked Solo Queue.

Critical Unresolved Issues:

Unfixed Netcode (persistent issues).
Unreliable Hit Reg (frustrating).
Broken Audio (bugs, impacts awareness).
Poor/Shallow Balance (stale, no depth, game didn't need more healing)
Horrible Matchmaking (bad RS-system, unbalanced teams).

Monetization & Priorities:

No Local Shop Pricing (Can't buy items with real money, have to exchange to digital currency first)
Greedy €30 BP Tier: Shows monetization over core gameplay while issues persist.

[lime ridge]

option to "favorite" weapon skins so the randomizer only uses the ones you favorite

I would like to thank Embark for keeping the game "free" for those that only care about gameplay and not skins.

I would also like to thank Embark for giving Whales and those that want to support you more ways in doing so

Feedback for THE FINALS- please add keyboard and mouse support on console (I'm begging 🥺🙏)

[sonic arrow]

In the patchnotes, you said that sledge was a "top three" weapon.

So why did we not nerf the "top one" weapon instead? Did we nerf sledge just because it was the last "good" melee weapon? I really don't understand why we had to kill off the melee playstyles just because you didn't like them getting good stats.

[glad pike]

please don't change the weapon system in the patch 🙏
Keep the old one pleeeeease.

[unreal fossil]

If the game is so awful, I don't even know why you bother playing it.

"Missing basic features" none of which are really needed.

"Critical unresolved issues", well only inconsistent server performance is critical there, everything else is nowhere near as bad as you make it sound.

"Greedy €30 BP Tier: Shows monetization over core gameplay while issues persist."

No, it doesn't show or prove anything. That's just how you want to interpret it.

Love the healing ball, love stealing other’s healing ball, please add more funny mechanics

[halcyon patio]

Hello sniper light here hitbox is very large its just viable to jump in no scope and zip away when you are low health. Lights are still one shot w hammer you just gotta get better and if i have the line on you get away or put a shield like do something to draw me towards you before i can drain your health. For medium yeah i think the nerf was not necessary

[copper blaze]

Remove the sniper rifle from the game.
It does too much damage, at any range. It replaced the double barrel.
Fire rate is too high, reload too quick.

It's a free win in power shift.

[fringe heron]

Sniper not is a problem, but the cl-40 is a fck gun

[ornate quail]

The Arrowhead Studios controversy occurred around this time last year and I wanted to chime in to give some thoughts about what occurred that may be useful or not. They're just a stones throw from Embark and had a similar situation with regards to balance.

After months of constant nerfs, reworks, and removal of fun strategies that players had made for themselves, Joel (Then CEO) tweeted out in response to a fan's frustrations that something did need to be looked at if the balance was constantly deflecting interesting (and more importantly, fun!) playstyles that weren't part of a strict meta. The principles here are definitely similar.

Helldivers 2 solved their balance issues by shifting their focus away from what is being used and instead buffing the myriad of weapons and stratagems already in the game that weren't being picked up. That balance patch took months, and it was a little painful, but the end result has been an extremely healthy game that respects the majority of combinations and weird jokey loadouts people make for themselves. The only downside has been introducing new items to that pool (They often come out under baked, or underpowered.) but I'd personally rather have new stuff introduced weaker to be buffed later than the reverse. It's hard to use something only for it to be tweaked into oblivion later. You can alienate the people who picked it up in the first place.

Pick rates, class win rates, top 3 weapons, none of these words mean much to me personally as a player/consumer. They don't have any bearing on my day-to-day matches. I don't care about what the top 3 weapons are, or whether X class is picked over Y X amount of times. Instead, I want to know what isn't being used and why. What can you do today to make something unloved a better part of the ecosystem tomorrow.

[lime quest]

I do not know what's going on since yesterday but is anyone else having massive issues with input latency and general lagspikes?

NERF THE GL TO OBLIVION AND PREVENT JUMP SPAMMING! DO U GUYS KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE RUNNING THE GL NOW ITS KILLING ALL THE FUN @wooden atlas BRUH @wicked hound me a light

[tropic egret]

Make different badges for different game modes and make them scale with wins, just like how we can get kills/revives badges that scale up

[wooden atlas]

Hot take: CL-40 does not need a nerf. I personally never use it because of how hard it is to make it work well compared to other guns. It may be annoying and spammy, but it’s fairly easy to counter in a 1v1. I only say not to nerf it because there have been so many nerfs recently. I don’t want to see another nerf until we get at least three significant buffs (start with sword, sledge, and dagger)

[slender girder]

Odd, I almost only play Power Shift and beat snipers daily. Just chase them down and kill them. It's easy.

[gaunt scroll]

Has anyone noticed an issue where you throw an item, like an explosive canister, and them your gun sights are higher on your screen? It happens to me occasionally and the only way to fix it it to swap to a gadget and back.

[rustic tinsel]

Do you even know what you mean by “increased usage”? It means everything else that was actually usable has been nerfed.It’s not like it just became OP and people started using it.
Stop fxxking nerf. You’re patching the game straight into the ground.

Even Reddit, a place that doesn't understand anything about game balance, is calling out the recent Sledge nerf.
That alone should be enough to tell you how terrible this patch was.

The only useful thing about the Sledge nerf is that it finally helped 'most people with basic human reasoning' realize how absurd the Sword damage nerf was.
Anyone who has tried using the Hammer after this patch knows it's completely trash now.
And that's exactly what happened to the Sword.

I’ve been saying this the whole time. Nerfing melee damage is the same as saying “don’t use it.”
Sword and hammer are melee weapon. It requires some form of high dmg output in order to compete with other weapons in close range.

I just want to clarify, I am not saying any of the weapons needs nerf. Others do what they are intended to do.
I just want MELEE weapon to actually be USABLE.
Fix the damage. Im tired of weapons getting nerfed simply because people dislike it(cause skill issue).

Yours literlly said,"we’re going to continue to monitor the Sword and explore some alternative changes that might allow us to nudge the lunge damage back up".And yet, there’s been zero follow-up. No balancing, no communication, nothing.
So the sword gets ignored for an entire season, and now you're targeting the sledge hammer instead?

Frankly, it’s getting harder to believe anything written in the developer notes. At this point, it feels like empty PR talk meant to placate players without any real intention of following through.

You must stop listening to nerf parrots.There’s no end to the nerf parrots’ whining. When something they wanted nerfed without any real balance reason(dislike cause skill issue) gets nerfed, they just move on to whine about the next thing.

[sturdy flame]

Embark's devs go f*ck your mom, let me f_ck them too and delete CL

[royal mango]

Embark, please fucking do something about cheaters in casual modes

[unreal blaze]

I completely agree! The reasoning Embark uses to justify the "noob-tube" CL-40 grenade launcher in the game, while allowing it for close-quarters combat (CQC) is messed up.

The fact that it takes a bunny hopping noob with CL-40 3 half-ass splash shots to kill me in CQC range, yet it takes the high-skill weapons like the CB-01 Repeater 3 shots to the body and .357 Revolver 4 body shots is just outragous.

Embark left the low-skill requirement CL-40 grenade launcher this annoyingly overpowered just to sell microtransactions.

[honest wing]

Sniper has bullet drop, it's not even a free win in the exact gamemode that made it the reason for the nerf....

The amount of games I've played where people who snipe loose

[south ravine]

Please either add kill cams or match replays as I want to report cheaters more accurately

[primal frost]

not everyone is a medium / has a gun to shoot them with 😭

[sleek marsh]

Idk what ppl yap about cheaters, I played for more than 1k hours, reached D1 and never seen a cheater. But skill gap between a ruby player and a casual maybe till Gold 1 player is absurd so maybe thats the reason. Matchmaking is just whatever that's it

[shell current]

can you make the medium grenade launcher not outperform shotguns in point blank range, how tf are they not taking self damage, make that shit deals 300% dmg like rpg shots

[warm echo]

game would be great if

the sprint bug didn’t happen every game to heavies (and every couple games for every other class)

there wasn’t a chance of a single person randomly having 500 ping until he reopens his game (for an entire ranked tournament, with fine internet and a normal connection to everything else)

the scope bug where you aim down ironsights while you have an actual scope didn’t exist

there wasn’t obnoxious visual clutter from random gimmick weapons, the weapons themselves are fine but their visual clutter just makes certain ones really annoying

[blazing shuttle]

dude the cl40 deals an insane amount of self damage close range. To be honest I do think its more of a case of buffing other medium or heavy shotguns than nerfing the cl

[weary dragon]

Hello

[safe ravine]

man im so reluctant to drop 30€ to this bp, because this game is seriously dying.. how come days after a new season, the player count is the same
and WT and ranked are the same (1 out of 2 games im matched vs ruby players, i get ran over by)
Mind u i never hit diamond in any season, but soloQueuing i get matched with 3 stacks diamond and above

its sad to admit the finals is close to die
RIP The Finals 2025 (if not this year, early 2026)
Was fun while it lasted, was a good game tho, W Embark

Edit to @nova osprey :
Oh if to you, a steady player count after the release of a brand new season is good, we then have different definitions of a healthy growing game
There is clearly issues going on when S7, (a banger of a season as it is) isn't followed by the arrival of a wave a many players.
I've talked to the finals players in multiple chats, and alot admit to only play quickcash or powershift.
It's a massive red fleg for a game when it's main gamemode is avoided (WT and Ranked) and the fun can only be found in PS and QC

The point I want to make is that The Finals isnt a game anymore. It's just a platform for streamers to make content, for professional gamers to play etc... Ultimately people are just here to make money of this game
People aren't coming for fun anymore. In every game, u are against the SAME PLAYERS, that are sweating, that have 12h+ per day on the game, and doesnt do anything else other than The Finals. It has become a J*B.

[restive warren]

The legacy coins are bugged rn. I only get 2 from winning an entire WT match since today. But I can also get 2 by losing second round. It makes no sense

[icy marlin]

I am loving the new UI changes. It's clean, clear and stylish.
But please make the 'Active Event' indicater bigger again. I've noticed that both I (and often also my teammates) are unaware or forget it's low grav.
It does not need to cover half the screen, like in the past, but it currently feels to tiny to be noticable in the chaotic environment of The Finals

[tame vessel]

Here is a list of weapons that need to be buffed but not make them meta in the next balance patch

Spear: increase the basic attack damage combo to 70, 80, 95 and increase the spin attack damage to either 120 or 130

KS-23: increase the projectile speed to 500m/s and either add a 1.2x headshot multiplier or decrease the fire rate to 73 RPM and increase the player damage to 120

Riot shield: increase the swing speed by a little and make it so we can bash people while blocking if they get too close and the bash will do no damage but will knock them back a bit but not too far maybe like 5 meters and increase the movement speed when blocking

R.357:Increase the bodyshot damage to 75 and decrease the headshot multiplier to 1.9 therefore making it 75 × 1.9=142.5 and also decrease the fire rate by a little bit maybe from 140 to 130

Dual blades: add a parry mechanic so it can parry secondary attacks of other melee weapons like the sledgehammers overhead charge but it can't parry the primary attacks of other melee weapons and increase the first swing damage from 50 to 55 and increase the second swing damage from 60 to 65 and lastly increase the final attack damage from 65 to 75 and make it so the final attack can be done faster and increase the movement speed when deflecting by just a little bit

AKM: increase magazine capacity to 34, 35 or 36, the choice is yours on what number you choose

ARN-220: increase the fire rate to 750 rpm, decrease the duration of the tactical reload animation from 2.45s to 2.30s, decrease the duration of the full reload animation from 2.80s to 2.60s

Smoke Grenade: decrease the ammo from 3 to 2, and decrease the cooldown from 50s to 20s

please, please Embark these weapons and gadget need some love

[brave copper]

Cl40 self damage multiplier is 1.25x All other explosives in the game are either 1.6x or 1.8x self damage.

Cl40 is grenades for noobs. It should punish self inflicting shots just as much as MGL32, especially considering the Cl40 nades are impact and much easier to keep away from yourself.

[cinder charm]

yesssss

[graceful tapir]

Balancing team is by definition just a bunch of hypocrites. "We want melee viable" only to then nerf every melee into the ground.

• Nerfs Dagger like 6 times
• Gut sledge
• Gut sword
• Neglect riot shield
• Nerf spear.

[nova veldt]

so i got into final round of cashout ranked, and enemies just took the cash box and ran around map for 15 mins, they got first place and we got second
logic??

[narrow spade]

Give diamond, at least, and prolly plat as well ranked decay and make plat/dia rewards based on your final season finish. Then do the rest of this #👂┇game-feedback message and ranked will actually be good

[random lagoon]

If they were the ones to open the cashbox then that would automatically put them in first

[proper dove]

could a weapon XP adjustment for the throwing knives be made? it takes an unproportional amount of time to level them up

[sterile patrol]

Every week I report from 10 to 20 players that are suss af.. more than half of my reports gets people banned coz embark sends you notification saying they took action against these players.. cheaters are very common in free2play games, especially with EASY anti cheat, people cheat in cod when It costs 70£, people cheat in mario karts and fall guys.. don't say that there are no cheaters, you just not aware of cheaters around you.

[hexed terrace]

@tame vessel the emoji tactic to make us read your text worked on me so well

[limpid narwhal]

We need more harsh punishments for leaving comtetive matches such as WT and Ranked. So many WT teammtes leaving and not recconecting because they simple are bad at the game. If a player willingly leaves the match they should get a 12-24-36 hour ban and so on if repeated after that.

[versed gull]

Buff dagger please!! 💕🗡️

[solid spindle]

I agree for skill gap. Embark prefers you to get into a game as fast as possible, instead prioritizing a fair game. They'd prefer a bronze/gold player to be paired with a Ruby or emerald player if it took less than 2 min to find that game. I find this the most stupid thing on the planet. Id way way prefer to wait 5min maybe even 10min to join a game that is FAIR and im playing against people my rank. There are so many basement kids in this game is insane, whos primary focus in their sad life is to reach Ruby. At LEAST give us a option to choose wait 10min for a fair game or a fast game... The game is dying, and im 99% sure its because new players dont want to stay as they are thrown directly in the deep end with bricks tied to their feet. Alot of my steam friends tried this stupid game and said its not worth the time and effort to get good at it. ts horrible. Fix your matchmaking embark.

[iron pollen]

Why does this game not have more detailed personal player stats?

Why is there no SBMM in WT

Why are RANKED seasonal rewards worse than WT rewards

Why can heavy be healed by their own healing ball

When will the finals get a new anticheat?

I can’t changed my CPU priority due to Easy Anti Cheat and that’s laughable for a wannabe esports game.

Not really feedback but questions I find myself asking

[quartz dirge]

for ruby skins please add the silver/ruby camo for each scope option similar to how the xp-54s scope is - i understand if you dont want to do this for diamond weapons but at least for ruby it should be done
+
PLEASE give us a toggle setting that lets us choose if we queue into backfills or not - ive lost track of how many games ive backfilled into in quick cash where my team is completely screwed

[visual hazel]

They have ruined the heavy class. With all the server lag and issues this season as well...

I have never wanted to play this game less than I do right now and I am heartbroken.

[dense totem]

the game would be great if

the sprint bug didn’t happen every game to heavies (and every couple games for every other class)

there wasn’t a chance of a single person randomly having 500 ping until he reopens his game (for an entire ranked tournament, with fine internet and a normal connection to everything else)

the scope bug where you aim down ironsights while you have an actual scope didn’t exist

the disabled bug where you are physically unable to shoot your gun, use gadgets and there's no way to fix it but wait

there wasn’t obnoxious visual clutter from random gimmick weapons, the weapons themselves are fine but their visual clutter just makes certain ones really annoying

[cobalt kernel]

[wraith orchid]

ok so you guys made some revolutionary incredible maps, now pls shift your focus to more in game events like suspended structures; constructon side…

we want to see changes whithin the maps, at this point,this will reduce the repetitive feeling 100x more effective than another map. new maps are important too, but less maps with more variations are better than more maps with no variation.

inputideas:

• events like the one in monaco where the church got destroyed, maybe the missing buildings could also get replaced with something different.

-Instead of a central Cashout, crates rain down across the map.
Effects:
5–10 low-value Cash Crates appear everywhere.
Teams must choose: hunt crates or defend the main Cashout?

• A massive sinkhole opens in the center or edge of the map.
  Effects:
  Entire structures fall into the hole and are permanently lost.
  New underground combat zone opens up with close-quarters combat.
  Zip lines or ropes allow quick traversal in and out.

-A new high-rise or platform structure is built mid-match.
Offers new verticality and positions.
Players can destroy it again if they want to reclaim open space

-A large section of the map (a platform or building) begins to rotate.
Effects:
Altered sightlines and access points as the structure turns.
Players inside may be disoriented.
High risk / high reward combat zone due to unpredictability.

-slippery ground (making slides longer and keeping momentum easier

-Sections of the map are rotated, lifted, or swapped.
Buildings may rise on hydraulic platforms or shift along rails.

-A large industrial crane starts moving beams, containers, or else across the map.
Effect:
Suspended structures shift positions or are dropped into new areas.
Opens up or closes off rooftops, windows, or streets.
Adds new platforms for traversal or cover.

-weather changes mid match, including sandstorm… would add great immersion.

-Large platforms or entire floors rise or lower via industrial lifts….

[faint saddle]

BUFF DAGGER

[nova osprey]

Low quality bait, if the player count is the same, that is very clearly not a dead game

[lapis harness]

The cl-40 should be a light weapon not a medium. The only reason its dis liked is that it need no real reason to aim just be close which puts other at a disadvantage because they have to hit a decent amount of head shots to stop them. If it was left as is and swapped to a light it would not be as big o deal and would still be as deadly but have a better risk to reward ratio.
(End the every match cl-40 spam)

Also why is the v9s ttk seem soooo much faster than the fire rate controlled 6 shot r.357??

[umbral bramble]

I know you guys most likely have all these seasons planned out, and are already working on a workload of new stuff for Season 8, but a Demonic themed season would be absolutely sick! Imagine a map based off of the underworld?! Since this season has also introduced modified body types, we can have demon bodies (humanoid of course) but wouldn't that be insane? Imagine all the cool combos and stuff players could create with demons (and possibly an angel faction as a sponsor as well) halos, wings, and all sorts of stuff that goes well will a Demons (and Angels) themed season! Not saying you guys should take this and use it, but it would be SUPER cool to see, consider my wallet drained if it happens.

[median bloom]

I’m fine with every build getting a healing option but I can’t understand why the heavy has a ball they can just sit beside them where they can still use there gun,spear, or whatever. If anything the light should get the “healing ball” On top of that dome and mesh shields already the hardest to kill in the game. The healing option should be the same as medium and light where it’s some sort of gun and when they pull it out it takes away there gun. Instead of coming up against a mini gun with a dome shield and a healing ball beside him with his finger on the trigger for 2 mins straight. Or a team with 2 heavy sitting in a cashout with 2 healing balls beside them

[plain shard]

powershift game with 3 grenade launchers, embark fix your balance issues this season, its god awful

[raven garnet]

so nerf one of the weakest guns in every other mode because its good in powershift hahaha

[neat yoke]

lmfaoo

[wide void]

so nerf one of the weakest guns in every other mode because its good in powershift hahaha

But seriously, people are overreacting to CL-40. So let me repeat...

CL-40's skill floor is low but is OBSOLETED by Revolver, Pike, Repeater, and Model. All of those weapons kill EVERY class faster than CL-40 can. CL-40 has plenty of counters, but if you want even more, ASK TO BUFF UNDERPERFORMING WEAPONS BEFORE NERFING MORE STUFF INTO THE GROUND.

@rigid shale You're wrong af. I've seen plenty of CL-40 users in WT switch to hitscan weapons because they simply perform better. Low skill floor doesn't mean better performance.

@tontonf.#0000 That's a Heavy gadget, not a Medium weapon. Bruh.

[fickle heath]

they should honestly buff the splash damage on the cl40

[light zenith]

NO

[analog glacier]

Embark, your servers suck! This game is getting worse and worse every season! And go nerf this damn CL40!

[rigid shale]

no one switches to revolver, pike, repeater, or model when they're losing, so you're wrong. it's abused & provides far too effective an outcome for as little work that goes into pressing jump + shoot together at any range.

CL40 should excel at raw hp removal vs bunched groups at a distance and risk self-damage from close range, not the all purpose, all range solution losers in all modes resort to bc they can't aim.

i used the CL40 in season 1 before discovering dagger bc it need to be combined with throwables to win single target dps races and felt like a rewarding challenge to use; now it's 🧀 🧀 🧀

[bold surge]

Make m60 19.5 or 20 dmg its good kinda now but not quite there it lol 😂 also give shak like 2-4 more mag size

[tacit skiff]

I would like to give feedback on the C40 Why does each grenade inflict 100 damage while a heavy RPG does 100 With a fairly long reload time while the CL40 Can chain 5 grenades that do 100 damage Where is the logic?

[halcyon patio]

Honenstly excellent point, they nerfed heavy rpg because it was too much but grenade launcher is ok? Usage spiked a lot this season i feel like too. Almost every match im power shift there are 1-2 cl40 players

@ocean shore or you should be able to reload right after firing if they really want to keep that mechanic

[ocean shore]

also why do we have to reload after getting the rpg back?? we should be able to use it immediately after the cooldown finishes. also the rpg self damage should not be that much

[sturdy heron]

giving half the players 10,000 ping in ranked games and not the rest is kinda not lit

[restive isle]

Quick Cash and Power Shift need adjustments ASAP. Too many games this season I have played versus full-stack teams that are NOT playing the objective and instead are stalling the objective so that they can farm kills to buff up their stats. I am currently in a quick cash match that has had no cashouts deposited, and the leading team has a total of 40 kills all together. They are hogging the cashbox. Seeing this too much and it is seriously unhealthy for this game.

[steady shadow]

please devs make the grav cube be able to be toggled like the vortex. that would up the usage since its already a niche and not really used gadget. all my usage of it has been either very useful or totally screws me up, no inbetween

[worthy storm]

something wrong about servers?

[glad pike]

ooooohh, if gravity cube worked like the gravity vortex?
That would actually be sick

[modern grail]

I agree with this guy, @rigid shale , the CL-40 should specialize in crowd control, but now it's more of a "Ol-Reliable" tool and requires less aim then hitscan weapons (imo the biggest problem with the CL-40 is the less crunch of not having to aim your shots, just in the general direction of the user which causes this frustration, no one likes having to aim their shots while the opponent can just blind fire it and get the same effect). If the damage was on a hitscan weapon there would most likely be less complaints due to the opponent having to aim precisely, leading to less frustration at the general weapon but more at the player (overall a better thing to be mad at).

As @tacit skiff said, the RPG does 100 damage, but it has one use, plus is on cool down, and has a longer reload time. The RPG despite it's high damage is fine due to these factors balancing it out, however the CL-40 is 100 damage but doesn't have a cool down and a faster reload.

Imo, lower the damage from 100, maybe to 50-70 range, it's still strong, and if the opponent doesn't respect it the 50-70 damage will hurt a lot, but it won't just outright delete other players without giving them a chance to escape. But this number can vary from person to person. Also, if you want to, make it so that jumping doesn't make the self-inflicted damage be softened, and do the same as if the user was on the ground. That way the opponent can't just jump and shoot at the ground, we still need the counterplay of getting close to the user where they have the risk of taking self damage.

Not trying to join in this disagreement @wide void . Just my 2 cents on this CL-40 drama

[twilit river]

Is there a chance we'll be able to lower the volume on certain sound effects in the future? Ones I often find too loud are the crowd cheers in loadout and ingame, the halftime sound effect, the 1 minute left sound effect, and the wipe sound effect. These noises are often so loud I can't hear anything else.

[pastel shore]

I will not buy a new battepass until sledgehammer buff 😤
Or i will drop it, and return to siege. It is impossible to play with that nerf! 😡🤬

[tepid rock]

I get insane ping to some servers and not being able to choose the servers I play on kinda sucks... I get in one game, it's butter smooth. get on another, I get up to 1 second latency... my friends have nothing tho only I have it but only on some games so it has to do with server locations

[austere wing]

just tried sledge after nerf. plays terrible. its now situational, and the ttk is way too high for a melee weapon. its still viable, but it feels terrible, and completely useless in most situations. the guy who responded to me is 30 iq. go try it.

[digital chasm]

Am I the only one experiencing a ton of scenarios in world tour where three teams meet at the same cashout station?

Every match has multible cashouts where 3 teams are fighting over the same cashout station.

It’s just to chaotic and random who will end up cashing out.

Is the spawnpoints off or is there some kind of strat trend going on?

[kindred cosmos]

Please make Show Tokens easier to earn. I shouldn’t have to play 9 games for a charm that took 3 games maximum in Season 2.

[hollow sage]

Sledgehammer ttk is way to high for a SLEDGEHAMMER. I shouldnt be out-dps's by SO MANY guns. Even the close range ones have more range than you know, a melee weapon, so its super unbalanced.

Edit cuz i forgot enter sends messages: also embark please add more detailed player stats and fix the servers omg

[supple mortar]

Revert sword.

[fallow gust]

1. Please add the option to preview how the animation will look on the player card before buying it

2. Right now, everyone sees their own character in the center at match start. It’d be great if everyone saw the same thing — that way, being in the center would actually feel meaningful.

3. Please add a way to see how many kills you’ve made with each weapon.

4)Would be great if the intro showed some player stats — like how many kills they’ve made with their current weapon, or their average kills/deaths. Maybe show it under the center character only, or even under everyone. Even better if it’s customizable.

5. Please add an option to see your ping.

6)Please add a replay system.

7. Add an option to inspect weapon skins in first person, or some way to preview them in-game before buying.

8. I think it would be cool to add a light upgrade system for abilities or weapons — nothing too extreme. For example, Light’s dash could have two upgrade paths: one that gives you an extra charge (so 4 instead of 3), and another that lets you dash through walls once every 30 seconds. These upgrades could unlock at certain ability levels. I believe this kind of system would make builds more interesting and encourage players to experiment with different combinations.

The idea of ​​the recruitment system is nice, but the reality is unfortunately different... every newbie I've played with has said after 5-10 games at most that the game isn't fun for the same reason: the enemies are too tough... every newbie got a score of 0/5 - 1/10 in every game... I can understand the players... I wouldn't enjoy the game that way either... so unfortunately, the recruitment system currently does the complete opposite and completely scares new players away. New players shouldn't have their first games ruined so badly :/

Embark do u know how to fix a weapon? Dont nerf the dmg of the sledge, nerf the fucking range.

[rustic tinsel]

You literally said,"we’re going to continue to monitor the Sword and explore some alternative changes that might allow us to nudge the lunge damage back up."And yet, nothing?

Is there really any reason to delay?Sword and sledge were fine. They were never meta even before the nerf. They only showed up occasionally in WT and Ranked. Anyone playing just one match could see that.The fact that only a few use these weapons means the weaker players dropped off and only the skilled remain. Of course, skilled players perform well.

There are many examples of games ruined by listening to Reddit, self-proclaimed pros, and scrim groups who follow their own rules, so why are you trying to follow that losing path? Those people don’t help the game at all. If it’s not the weapon they use, they just call it no-skill and whine for nerfs.

Nerf parrots’ arguments don’t make sense. Some idiot said you shouldn’t be able to lunge and dash, but you made the sword exactly for that. It has been designed that way since beta.
And the hammer is too strong in melee and needs a nerf? Hammer is supposed to be strong up close. It has to be. If the slowest class comes into melee range, it should be powerful. But now hammer’s left click does 100 dmg? It’s the same damage as the KS you can use from a distance? Does that make any sense balance-wise?
The sword is the same. The DPS of melee is lower than that of guns you can use at range? Light classes only have 150 HP, and melee weapons must get close to deal any dmg.
Sword and hammer are melee. They require high damage output to compete with other weapons in close range.

To be clear,I’m not saying any things need a nerf.
I just want underperforming weapons to actually be usable.
Fix the damage.I’m tired of weapons getting nerfed just because people dislike them(cause skill issue).
You must stop listening to nerf parrots.When something they want nerfed without any real balance reason gets nerfed,they just move on to the next thing to complain about.

[wispy ivy]

50-70 damage would genuinely kill the weapon without a significant rpm and ammo increase (i know thats probably what a lot of cl40 haters want)

it needs to do at least 90 damage to be effective as a weapon at all, imo the only nerf it needs is a slight radius decrease (3m to about 2.7m maybe) and for splash damage to start at ~80 (i think it starts at 90 atm) to make it reward precision more, they should also be rewarded for jumping while shooting, thats arguably a bigger show of skill than a lot of other things people are rewarded for in this game

Suggestion to add a pseudo-legacy battlepass which features cosmetics that were earnable in events. Could have the same access cut-off as Legacy Battlepasses, so event items from two seasons before won't be in it yet.

It'd be nice to have a way to earn cosmetics that dozens of players have missed out on during periods where the game was mostly populated by the much more dedicated core fanbase.

Alternatively, one for World Tour weeklies rewards would also be fun to have, though mainly because Season 2's was packed with some nice rewards.

So many red server icon the past two-three weeks. Pls look into it

[azure wedge]

Yes, there's actually a HUGE difference... 35% to be exact. And not only that, the "aim magnetism" mechanic of the reticle means that a player with bad AIM can even get 3-5 kills per match, whereas a player with bad AIM using a mouse wouldn't get a single miserable kill per match.

If controller players want to play with AIM Assists, that's perfectly fine with me, I understand that the controller needs it, of course I do, but then they should only play among other controller players. That's what's FAIR and LOGICAL. I've played other games with a controller and argued that I shouldn't be matched with players using a mouse. In The Finals, I use a mouse, and I argue that I shouldn't be with controller players, regardless of the platform they play on, because the platform defines absolutely nothing... what defines the difference is whether they play with a controller or a mouse.

Any player who queues for a match using a mouse and then switches to a controller mid-game should be immediately expelled and sanctioned. The same goes for anyone who queues with a controller and then switches to a mouse. The Finals already has HUGE balancing problems, let alone making everything EVEN more unfair by mixing mouse players with players who have a 35% AIM Assist.

Do you actually play The Finals, @slender girder? LOL
Practically 40-50% of players on Steam use a controller... plus 100% of console players. That means 70-75% of TOTAL players use a controller... Of course, the majority use a controller...

the dopamine I feel playing this game is some of the highest, but god damn whenever I play cl40 that thing completely sucks in every bit of dopamine or fun I have playing this game. that thing is like a black hole, just there to ruin any ounce of fun you have while playing this game. mgl actually takes skill to master the bouncing nades but cl40 is just too easy and forgiving and it's just so terrible to play against.

if you use cl40, know nobody has respect for you and also know you're only using that weapon because you can't aim properly

[topaz jetty]

I hit my shots but only 1/3 to 1/2 truly register. Multiple clips of getting 12+ shots with an FCAR and only doing 144 damage or somewhere around there.

The way your game handles dropped connections is laughable. Actually have to restart the game if I lose WiFi for 1 second

[daring trail]

I have the idea of adding a suggest cosmetic tab or page in the discord where players can give concept ideas or just name some things that would be liked to add as a head gear, shoes, etc. what do people think of that? I don’t really know who or where to bring this idea to.

[simple ether]

Embark needs to start banning these afk players. Its every other match now some kid sits in a corner afk and moves right they get booted only to go sit in another corner

Now that we have legacy battle pass, can you please retroactively add diamond badges and backgrounds of previous season ie 1-3 for people who have obtained them.

[twin helm]

its so dumb how this keeps happening with the cl 40 its so op so it gets nerfed then its in a fine spot but i guess it isnt seeing enough play so we buff it back to where i dont want to play this game until they nerf again its awful

[stuck rock]

found a funny bug in the practice range

[steel mango]

yea i agree, it makes quick cash really un-fun

[fierce spoke]

Remove the 3 type of attack shit in the spear and dualblade just make it a swing one like the sledge and riotshield. And make the spear M2 attack the option to cancel the attack.

Nerf CL-40.

[analog glacier]

Nerf CL-40!

[wide void]

@analog glacier CL-40 is weak little bro. Just because it has a low skill floor doesn't mean it's OP or needs a nerf. Repeater, Pike, Revolver, and Model all kill faster, reload faster, and they're not self-damaging projectiles...

BUFF UNDERPERFORMING WEAPONS BEFORE NERFING ANY MORE WEAPONS.

Two games in a row played against Ruby in ranked; I'm Gold 4 now. The last one wasn't even marked as challenging. Ranked is getting more unplayable with every new season. And I also 100% sure I will not receive my rank points back, or even will get less points 🤷‍♂️

[crisp heart]

i think we need a hud safezone. on my ultrawide monitor the health is way on the edge of the screen! most games like to keep the hud in a 16:9 area even when the monitor has a greater aspect ratio, because it keeps the hud where it should be. on a 39 inch ultrawide monitor, having the health in the far left corner literally means diverting your eyes away from the person ur shooting. Consider adding this, hud safe zone has been a feature in games for like 2 decades embark. pls

Scotty's new voice lines ain't doing it for me. A whole bunch of "That's not a blank, that's a blank!". It's also hard to make out what he's really saying sometimes. I can't be the only one to think this!

[torpid quarry]

Add openable map

[brave copper]

More loadout slots

Player card & expressions should be saved in the outfit.

We need Match history of 1 game at minimum.

Stats should be separated by seasons.

Mesh doesnt contribute to support score proportionately to healing and hard covers (goo and barricades)

glitch should not make you drop things.

replace pink team with red team in cashout modes to be more distinct from purple. Make Orange team more yellow toned.

[pulsar jay]

healbeam should be the strongest healing in the game for requiring your ability slot, balance other heals around it (but for the love of god dont buff it)

also heals shouldnt stack, getting healed by one source should lock you out of other healing tools for a couple seconds

[rotund gust]

Embark I'd really like for Bullseye Barry to get the target dummy voice from firing range that you recently gave to the crash test dummy skin. Both deserve it.

I'd also really like to have 'effects' customization option in the locker so I can remove the 01101010010 effect from the mythic battlepass ultinate skins and mix and max those generally.

I hate reading the same message over and over in here and I've asked for this a few times now so I'll stop and hopefully someone saw it

Weapons wise CL40 should get a nerf that's more so balancing than a sever nerf. Lower explosive radius to make it require more skill to be effective with would be nice.

The only other thing would be that I think flat out gutting melee weapons is a bad idea as they offer alot of fun to players and seperate this game from alot of shooters.
That sentence from the last patch notes about people not being able to win against sledge up close being the reason for a nerf is so dumb. People SHOULDN'T be able to win against sledge up close. Stay 5 meters away and shoot em LOL

About the premium battle pass.

Over the seasons, it has become clear that "permanent" players who form the consistent playerbase of The Finals can often maintain the amount of multibucks needed to pay for the premium battle pass at no extra need to put more money into the game.

However, this is the kind of player that is no longer as benefitial as they were in the beginning.

The way more content is added to The Finals has changed drastically for the better. It is of higher quality and introduced more frequently. While the main player count is mostly stagnant, inflation and the extra work Embark has to go through to upkeep a more and more complex game goes now disproportionately under-rewarded.

I think it very safe to say that players who have played for long enough to earn the battle passes with little effort, would definitely give a little bit more effort if the choice not to were taken away.

Still at the frozen 1150 multibucks, the price of the premium battle pass is too low. And there are clearly not enough people who buy the premium+ tier or the ultimate to make up for it - there is always the option to give less.

I feel an increase to 1500 or even 1650 would be welcomed by the consistent playerbase, and it would have minimal effect on people leaving as a whole. After all, the battle pass is purely cosmetic and free content continues to be added.

I think at this point, it's the right thing to do. We all want a better game we can support.

Battle pass at 1500 or 1650 for season 8!

[fierce skiff]

need to buff heavy specials or smth to be able to be slightly more independent

[rustic tinsel]

The current approach to nerfs is going too far. Everything is getting weaker. Stop nerf.Just buff underperforming and unfairly nerfed things. Nerf parrots never stop. When something gets nerfed, they whine to nerf something else.

If you keep listening to people who ask for nerfs not because something is op,but just because it annoys them(cause skill issue), of course the game will fall apart.

If the Sword’s lunge doesn’t go back to 140 dmg,it’s just useless.If it’s under 140,you can’t use it against Medium or Heavy at all.Right now, can't even use it against Light.That value was calculated and made sense in terms of balance.

Everyone knows Dagger,Sword and all melee get countered by Light.But you nerfed Sword while pretending it was for the sake of Lights, even though it was obviously done to benefit Mediums.
Medium has the highest pick rate and top performance in WT and ranked.There’s a reason people started saying “The Mediums”.
Heavy is still powerful at close range,so melee isn’t even a threat to them.

Medium has tons of tools to counter melee: turrets, mines, goo grenade, glitch trap, dematerializer, jump pad, zip line, proximity sensor, and a bunch of weapons. And still,these skill-issue players cry for nerfs to melee and weak wepon even though they already have all those tools.They just can’t handle melee because of a skill issue.
I play all class,melee was never a problem when I played Medium or Heavy(not to mention Light).But because of these dumb whining, stuff that wasn’t even meta got nerfed.That’s how you ruin patches.

About Double Barrel,you nerfed it, then reverted it.Because Light has low HP, so it needs to have high DPS. DB is only viable up close, and it needs to 2-tap Heavy.That balance was correct, so reverted.
The same goes for Sword.Nerfing melee dmg is saying “don’t use it.”It’s the same mistake as with DB. Sword was built around close-range and low health.it required specific damage combinations for each classes.so lunge was 140.

[south pier]

would be cool to see the medium class get a high rpm gun like the kriss vector

[spice rapids]

I bought the extra awesome battlepass, I hope that money goes towards the servers getting better.

also dont nerf the cl40,
players struggling against it need to learn to play the high ground or far away. Also stick with your team, CL40 only does well in 1v1s, unles the entire enemy team is literally within 2 meters of each other. Otherwise as a team, fighting a single CL40 is EZ

we just got a BUFFED APS this season and with the heal meta, CL40's TTK gets so easily interrupted.

If you have a heal emitter, heal beam, or H+ infuser on your team, you SHOULD win against a CL40

Also CL40 players need their gadgets to help them, so fight them with glitchs to force them to only rely on their gun, otherwise they will put turrets on you, or will run away with jumpad/zipline

try to get CL40 to lvl 4 even, and tell me if you still think it's unfair to fight against.
Im sure most people complaining, havent even done that yet.

[deep lily]

WE NEED A DUO MODE PLS EMBARK

[fluid sun]

they are completely out of touch with the sledge nerfs, by what the patch notes said you'd think there were sledge users left and right dominating the scoreboard, but that was completely not the case in my entire experience
now melee is basically dead outside of meme builds

double barrel is the best melee in the game now lol

[floral raven]

xp54 is cross mapping people with what feels like a longer range than any assault rifle the medium and heavies have. Please nerf it.

[feral shard]

Day 23 requesting a Coin toss emote (only with "The Finals" icon, not a head or tails emote)

It will be a hand emote for the left hand (As every other hand emote) which tosses a coin (With a very satisfaction sound effect, like the ULTRAKILL's one) and then grab it in the air and the emote finishes

It would be so cool since, the enemies get coined, it would be a very gentle but cool flex

Hope Embark takes note of this, we need it in the game, I would pay for it

(Also, please add more hand emotes, I love them)

[worthy totem]

Stop melee ruining nerf. Your game best aspect is variety and you are narrowing down our options when it comes to upper play. Let sword one-shot lights. yall can do anything else.

Hey, I'd like to report a glitch.

For the new akimbo 50. weapon skin, there seems to be a glitch where if you do an emote with it, the gun's effect will still be there, be disconnected from the weapon and won't go away. It then stays at the right side of the screen and I don't know why but it does that.

“100% agree. The griefing this season is awful. You're second place? Well that's too bad because now you're essentially out since teams are working together.

Removing the ability to double the boxes in ranked needs to be considered”

@imyungman#0000 terrible idea.

It’s part of the strategy. If you remove the ability to double boxes you’re just screwed if two teams get two cashouts each.

There’s 3 min left in the game, you’re down by 22k+ well might as well leave the game because the only way to win is by doubling.

A huge part of the game is deciding is you need to double or split cashouts.

Plus, if your team has the cash box and I know you can’t double it, I’m just gonna camp the cashout. Mines, goo, etc and you’ll have to bring it right to me.

It would be the age of cashout camping. I’m never contesting a vault again.

[noble path]

You nerfed Sledgehammer without fixing ANY of the bugs that have been reported and left unfixed for over 10 months. Do better Embark.

[unreal blaze]

The removal of the plug meta was the worst possible decision Embark made for World Tour / Ranked. Immediately after the removal of the plug-meta matches were an absolute slog to get through and even if you are by far the best players, you can frequently lose to teams with a negative K/D due to double-boxing.

Most players play The Finals to have those awesome team fights, which is what the plug-meta allows.

Removing the plug-meta just begs teams to double box a single cashout and be a 3rd party spoiler based on which team wants to play the most ratty rather than by actual skill.

I CAN ONLY USE ON WEAPON HELP

[dawn finch]

My Hammer is ruined, the hammer was arguably the only melee that was still considered fun, and to add to that; it was a way to fight ruby players with at least little success. the hammer combos made it feel fluid and smooth and the combat was fun. lights had something to fear, mediums had to be cautions and heavies had to specifically deal with you. sledge was a fear tactic and it was justified. there were ways around it of course. a good double barrel with smokes n' dash, mediums that targeted at medium range could kill a hammer with no movement knowledge. probably the overpowered aspects were the use of special abilities in combos. charge n slam to swing death was OP, wench to normal swing and quick melee was OP, goo to swing to quick melee was OP, but to get rid of the combo all together? it was a heavies way of dealing with the light class and now its been gutted. if i was to nerf the hammer, id get rid of the combos involving abilities instead of lessening its damage. give the melees a chance plz. we love your weapons, just let us use them without a caution fun sucking label. i love the fact there are heals now because then at least there is more of a chase and lights can run to their heavies and get heals. lights can insta heal a heavy making it more difficult to kill (which is awesome btw) but i shouldn't be out DPS's by the shak in close quarter. on behalf of all Melee users we ask humbly let us cook. why have melees in the 1st place if its gonna get nerfed into the ground. don't change the damage, change the combos so at least they are harder to pull off.

[rugged ginkgo]

stop destroying melee weapons

[slender girder]

You're deflecting since I said TOP players, so even if what you said was true it isn't relevant.

I watch alot of top The Finals content. Everyone is on mouse except a couple or so. I doubt that's them doing that out of principle. If controller was better they'd be on it. But they just happen to use mouse I suppose... 😉

I agree tho that they should separate the inputs in who play with each other, since that would end all PC players already on superior hardware ignorantly whining about controllers, risking to kill this game since it already isn't as good of a console experience as it could or should be. Making it have less players than it should, which is probably why they can't separate matchmaking by default, or even make console crossplay PS & Xbox so they risk losing too many players for their PC ones/top players.

[errant crater]

your new map is more unbalanced than kyoto be ashamed of your failure

and nerf the double barrel into the ground. its not a consistent gun against mediums and heavies. in its current state it only griefs lights

[tribal spoke]

Please embark buff the dual blades, easy fix for them is just make the damage 63/63 flat

[stoic cloud]

I would love a higher tier of contracts season wide, it really takes the fun out of grinding when we finish contracts for the circuit the first day of unlock and we have to wait for more varied challenges another whole week. I would love a way to continue to be challenged reguardless of time constraints, even if the XP reward is slower and less frequent

[steady shadow]

Agreed. Increase the time it takes to initiate a swing after winch or CnS. Leave goo gun alone tho, that is such a high skill cap and low usage specialization that to be able to goo lock someone and do a sledge combo on them requires so much skill

[quasi delta]

Day 6 of waiting until Embark is compliant with 2025 EU consumer protection guidelines.

[limber bluff]

Rework winch claw so weapons like sledgehammer, ks-23 and sa can be strong

[cyan cairn]

Nerf the cl40s bro holy fucking shit

[pseudo latch]

Winch claw needs to be reworked to have 10 meters of range but you can charge it up over two seconds to give it up to 20, with a loud, unmistakable windup noise.

Also, Yall really need to just rework the KS23 into a pellet shotgun at this point

Be a dead simple rework too. Ten bullets, ten damage each, a hundred structural damage each. Put it in whatever pretty shape you want (ten pin bowling would be a nice one) and bam, KS23 immediately goes up a letter grade via sheer consistency.

[unreal torrent]

will we ever get reflector on arn, ak, or fcar? Or red dot on the pike? Or actual irons for the ks 23? What is up with the limited sight options. This is really starting to piss me off

[true idol]

I absolutely love this game, id say personally this game needs attention for the attention to detail these creators put into this game with gun skins, emotes, skins, physics, etc. I played when it 1st came out and thought eh its a meh game till now ever since me and my partner played it. Great job you guys! ^^
If i do may request tho speaking of attention to detail on gun skins I love the stacktrace reaper for the .50 Akimbos, is there a chance the bug can be fixed? The frame absolutely drop for my partner and not me until I emote then it significantly drops frames. It's my favorite skin and love the retro sounds of it ^^

Blaming the map for a loss is wild lol

i love the new map

[wheat wing]

Please let us change the color of the contestant's eyebrows. 🙏 For a game that generates its money through customization, this is a small detail that would make a huge difference. It's a quick cosmetic change, but for people who care about the aesthetic (see: entire r/TheFinalsRunway community for example) it would be great!

[untold venture]

increase the CL40 self damage so crutchers stop using it as a free win button against other low skill players, past plat you will not see anyone complaining about the CL40 because it is very easy to counter when you have a functioning brain and a few hundred hours on the game, however not everyone has those two things so noobs use the gun to shit on other noobs = noob quit playing = less population = less money to make the game not suck ass (second point shown by the everyday crying in this chat about the CL40)

[short sand]

Buff melee, Reduce melee users healing gained from healing sources by 60% and reduce healing rate by 10%
(Percent values debatable)

The real reason embark felt it would be necessary to nerf the sledgehammer in this recent update is because of the recent addition of the healing gadgets for the heavy and light classes, embark knew they would create a healing meta and from the recent mass nerfing of weapons the sledgehammer would be stronger because any heavy abusing the new healing meta would become near Un-killable but by nerfing sledgehammer’s damage and QM combos the sledgehammer gets out damaged easily and the user dies much easier from ranges coming from even 5m, sledgehammer was already easily out damaged at close range if you knew what you were doing and the sledgehammers attacks are slow and avoiding swings is a skill most high skilled ranked players I encounter have, the sledgehammer had high damage because its a point blank range melee weapon given to the slowest class in the game, so by reducing melee users healing from healing sources and returning melees damage values to before should balance out melee if that is what embark is finding necessary, sledgehammer was already gimmicky as hell and now it is made only viable when paired with WinchClaw even more now than before, nerfing the WinchClaw’s range or by adding a charge up mechanic so the winch claw can be avoided easier, alongside the aforementioned balance ideas would not be a problem if sledgehammer and melee as a whole was returned to its previous damage values

Being greedy for kills should be punishing, the regular 10 second health regen timer for heavy would stay the same while healing items would be less effective and less of a crutch

[craggy otter]

daily reply.

[sterile patrol]

Since the shotgun and melee nerfs, CL40 became a new shotgun. Rework that noobtube, or buff some weapons. Now I'm forced to play medium with aps turret, even then it's hard coz it's always more than one noob spamming cl40.. it always starts with a single cl40 player, but few min later half of the lobby switches into cl40! It's toxic af

SEASON 7: MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT

Core experience is flawed. The new €30 Battle Pass tier proves player experience is secondary to monetization.

Still Missing Basic Features:

No In-Game Profiles (standard in FPS).
No Match History (essential online).
No Personal Stats (classes, weapons, specs, gadgets).
No Community Stats (trends, data).
No Ping Indicator (basic necessity).
No Direct DMs (limits social).
Poor Friend Status (game time, round).
No Clear Numerical Weapon Stats.
No Ranked Solo Queue.

Critical Unresolved Issues:

Unfixed Netcode (persistent issues).
Unreliable Hit Reg (frustrating).
Broken Audio (bugs, impacts awareness).
Poor/Shallow Balance (stale, no depth), why would you put more healing in to the game....?
Horrible Matchmaking (bad RS-system, unbalanced teams).

Monetization & Priorities:

No Local Shop Pricing (Can't buy items with real money, have to exchange to digital currency first, be proactive and transparent before EU forces you to.)
Greedy €30 BP Tier: Shows monetization over core gameplay while issues persist.

[rustic tinsel]

Do you even know what you mean by “increased usage”? It means everything else that was actually usable has been nerfed.It’s not like it just became OP and people started using it.
Stop fxxking nerf. You’re patching the game straight into the ground.

Even Reddit, a place that doesn't understand anything about game balance, is calling out the recent Sledge nerf.
That alone should be enough to tell you how terrible this patch was.

The only useful thing about the Sledge nerf is that it finally helped 'most people with basic human reasoning' realize how absurd the Sword damage nerf was.
Anyone who has tried using the Hammer after this patch knows it's completely trash now.
And that's exactly what happened to the Sword.

I’ve been saying this the whole time. Nerfing melee damage is the same as saying “don’t use it.”
Sword and hammer are melee weapon. It requires some form of high dmg output in order to compete with other weapons in close range.

I just want to clarify, I am not saying any of the weapons needs nerf. Others do what they are intended to do.
I just want MELEE weapon to actually be USABLE.
Fix the damage. Im tired of weapons getting nerfed simply because people dislike it(cause skill issue).

Yours literlly said,"we’re going to continue to monitor the Sword and explore some alternative changes that might allow us to nudge the lunge damage back up".And yet, there’s been zero follow-up. No balancing, no communication, nothing.
So the sword gets ignored for an entire season, and now you're targeting the sledge hammer instead?

Frankly, it’s getting harder to believe anything written in the developer notes. At this point, it feels like empty PR talk meant to placate players without any real intention of following through.

You must stop listening to nerf parrots.There’s no end to the nerf parrots’ whining. When something they wanted nerfed without any real balance reason(dislike cause skill issue) gets nerfed, they just move on to whine about the next thing.

[regal ivy]

Can we get a double barrel nerf? Maybe drop the damage per shot to 150? 160? Or decrease the reloadspeed or firerate to make it less frustrating to play against?

[novel night]

Buff sword

[tame vessel]

Here is a list of weapons that need to be buffed but not make them meta in the next balance patch

Spear: increase the basic attack damage combo to 70, 80, 95 and increase the spin attack damage to either 120 or 130

KS-23: increase the projectile speed to 500m/s and either add a 1.2x headshot multiplier or decrease the fire rate to 73 RPM and increase the player damage to 120

Riot shield: increase the swing speed by a little and make it so we can bash people while blocking if they get too close and the bash will do no damage but will knock them back a bit but not too far maybe like 5 meters and increase the movement speed when blocking

R.357:Increase the bodyshot damage to 75 and decrease the headshot multiplier to 1.9 therefore making it 75 × 1.9=142.5 and also decrease the fire rate by a little bit maybe from 140 to 130

Dual blades: add a parry mechanic so it can parry secondary attacks of other melee weapons like the sledgehammers overhead charge but it can't parry the primary attacks of other melee weapons and increase the first swing damage from 50 to 55 and increase the second swing damage from 60 to 65 and lastly increase the final attack damage from 65 to 75 and make it so the final attack can be done faster and increase the movement speed when deflecting by just a little bit

AKM: increase magazine capacity to 34, 35 or 36, the choice is yours on what number you choose

ARN-220: increase the fire rate to 750 rpm, decrease the duration of the tactical reload animation from 2.45s to 2.30s, decrease the duration of the full reload animation from 2.80s to 2.60s

Smoke Grenade: decrease the ammo from 3 to 2, and decrease the cooldown from 50s to 20s

please, please Embark these weapons and gadget need some love
Hopefully someone at Embark see this, these emojis will highlight the message so you can see them 🥇:🤠🤯😵:⚽️:grinning:😆🙃😇🫠

Reading feedback in this channel is mind numbing

[opal compass]

I and my Friends needs this game to be more optimize
It Lags alot and make the game unplayable
make this game more optimize so that low end pc players can also enjoy this game
PC like i7 4790 , 12gb Ram , Nvidia Quadro m2000 4Gb Gpu
So, we can get 80+ Fps on 1080p res

Loadout preset : let us cook loadout preset for real
Sledge lobby Pose : buff it, it was better before
Sight : Let us choose weapon sight in training mode and before match

Coin revive : button/icon "I will coin" "dont revive" when wiped

// BALANCE

Pyrogrenade : 30 > 20sec CD

Sledgehammer: just revert nerf
KS23: destruction buff is very appreciate but it needs to be more efficient in fight

[true siren]

add certain conditions to make light invis be actually disadvantageous
right now its just impossible to hear nor see lights (there are just fractions of a second when the glitching effect/ slight visual distortion can be seen) and the rates of firing that the have on their weapon is are just absurb
counter play would be finding cover, but with no noise and no visual cue it is simply impossible to return fire
Think about this, even mines are more invisible than the players they are trying to counter, it beeps and theres an indicator light. No light in their sane mind would just walk into it because it is a counter
so yeah make it so when theres a strong light source behind them, a glint can be seen around their silhouette
alternatively enhance the sound effect to enable more precise locational pinpoint
or, all in all, give other classes the sonar grenade (yes medium has it now) or thermal vision, why does the light need thermal when other classes cannot go invisible, and both medium and heavy are larger in size, makes more noise, giving light thermal is like an accessibility option now

and yeah as mentioned above skin designs are weirdly obsessed with pink and purple, male or nah right now it just doesnt seem like its anything creative, theres just like 5 highlights in the entire battlepass that actually looks good, idk not everything needs to be manly but like purple grid patterns really dont please anyone, instead maybe just release grid patterns and throw a palette feature to change the colour of the glow

and one more thing, scattering of bullets at 5 meters is still insanely bad for ak and fcar, especially f car, making any chance there is to counter ambushes even slimmer

Healing ball buff?🤣🤣🤣🤣 And the classic accusations of devs not doing anything

@thorny lynx classic no arguments clown just insult devs and call it a day

[knotty ibex]

We need map filters🙏

[proven crown]

Spawns:

I'm in stream chat with Carnifex and his following about this now, and word is that third parties are too prevalent, and there's not enough time given to the defending team to reset before they get assaulted by a team that just happened to die at the 'right' time on the other side of the map.
Perhaps variable spawn timers/distances based on fights happening currently (damage being done, or total players alive).

Heals balancing:

Please move Med heal beam to a gadget, and just delete turret (it's just bad, and annoying even as is). Perhaps replace turret with recon flare or a mobility Spec like double jump or speed overdrive (like Crysis maximum speed)

Team coordination:

Is it not possible to matchmake soloQers who have voice comms enabled, with other soloQers who have voice coms enabled too?

It sucks being disabled from helping your team through calls. I feel like players who don't want to communicate with voice at all need to be matched with others like them as well - better for everyone. Another idea here would be to force people to have to disable comms every round, because so often players just forget that they have voice comms disabled. It's just really bad for the game for the system to promote this tendency to disable all comms. It's too easy. And I don't even care if my team doesn't speak, as long as I can help them more by telling them important information. Perhaps players should get more support score for simply having comms enabled?? That could work really well

[wicked hound]

REVERT SLEDGEHAMMER

[marble osprey]

bring back 180 backstabs and buff sword to atleast 110

[rare maple]

Add more throwing knife and bow skins. 0-1 skin a season while all other weapons get multiple skins (or reskins) every season is crazy. The bias is real.

[supple mortar]

Revert the melee changes please!

[river wind]

South African servers would be much appreciated.

[slender girder]

Game and full auto weapons felt good on PS5 the 3 games I played!
Good job/update 👍

(no sarcasm! But since there's usually negative feedback in feedback channels, positive feedback might sound sarcastic, so just want to be clear the update feels good 😅)

[versed dagger]

goo mines when?

[weary pine]

Charge n Slam is still bugged! (Slow charge) needs a hotfix!

[tough frost]

We should be able to wear earned trophies on the lower back section of cosmetics!

[queen pollen]

Let us convert VRs to STS please 🙏

[odd ibex]

Light breach charge needs to stack damage atleast close to what it was in season1

U should be able to charge a riot shield bash by using the weapon inspection button where u hit ur shield with Baton as a taunt and a telegraph to charge shield bash and use it to get closer or knock(5 damage) them off structures

New move for dual blades inspect animations then hold alt where u sharpen one blade by dragging in to the other blade creating sparks💥 to do some fire or electric(stun/glitch) damage when the sparks hit and maybe make it into a mechanic to do a special move like u do a lunge duel slash after jumping cause the duel blade is kinda boring from a gameplay perspective 😔

the devs can sell different variations of blade sparks(different colours) but one should have it by default to set enemies on fire🔥

This is a must,I am onto to something here plz listen🙏
💥heavy/medium class chainsaw would be the melee equivalent to the minigun.
To put it in crude terms it’s a melee minigun but more mobile with movement but lower damage,u have to reload the fuel.Atleast it will be good with destruction as the minigun takes forever to break walls.Just not sure if it will be a gadget or a weapon.

Just more variety to play the game and get cool skins.
At the very least make the sledgehammer have a mythic chainsaw skin with animations.

[topaz jungle]

Can we get a version of the season 1 blue tracksuit, but all fucked up and damaged? Like burn marks, holes

[compact ore]

I dont wanna play with people from my blocklist , fix that please.

[stiff aspen]

Embark, please change the layout of the store. The sales tab is gone, and you have to go looking for the new stuff.

[untold haven]

2 m11 skins this week can we please start giving some other guns some love here 😭

[keen karma]

SUGGESTION - SOLO QUEUE RANK SHOULD MATCH YOU WITH NON-PARTYS AND CHALLENGING SEED SHOULD NOT MAKE YOU LOSE SO MANY RANK POINTS IF YOU'RE LAST

[sterile patrol]

If u play WT for a season u can get 30+mill with ezz, If u play quick cash it will take you months to get to 50mill achievement.. power shift does not count towards this trophy(I haven't checked after the new update) So if you want to reach 50mill fast , play ranked or WT.

[graceful hollow]

not really how ts works gng

[hoary kernel]

Healing emitter should have the same or similar placement logic as guardian turret.

In its current state there's absolutely no strategy to it, and if it gets destroyed you just place another one instantly. There should be a placement cooldown for once it gets destroyed.

[sleek forge]

Stop asking for buffs on weapons that take no skill 🥰

69 not being an option is good especially because of all the npcs that would use it because huehue funniest number, get an original thought once in ur lifetime

[warm compass]

embark : aim assist on pc controller is so bad in this seasson

[tidal radish]

#bug if you lag and doesn't seem to hit your shots. Turn off your router for 10 seconds. It's like night and day afterwards.

I'm on #Ps5 on #fiber connection 100 / 100. And it's sufficient.

[storm inlet]

why no grenade launcher nerf ? hellooo ?

[fallow gust]

1. Please add the option to preview how the animation will look on the player card before buying it

2. Right now, everyone sees their own character in the center at match start. It’d be great if everyone saw the same thing — that way, being in the center would actually feel meaningful.

3. Please add a way to see how many kills you’ve made with each weapon.

4)Would be great if the intro showed some player stats — like how many kills they’ve made with their current weapon, or their average kills/deaths. Maybe show it under the center character only, or even under everyone. Even better if it’s customizable.

5. Please add an option to see your ping.

6)Please add a replay system.

7. Add an option to inspect weapon skins in first person, or some way to preview them in-game before buying.

8. Please make it so that you can place stickers wherever you want instead of just one fixed spot. It would also be great if we could adjust their size.

9. I think it would be cool to add a light upgrade system for abilities or weapons — nothing too extreme. For example, Light’s dash could have two upgrade paths: one that gives you an extra charge (so 4 instead of 3), and another that lets you dash through walls once every 30 seconds. These upgrades could unlock at certain ability levels. I believe this kind of system would make builds more interesting and encourage players to experiment with different combinations.

[hollow flume]

The Cerb nerf was to much. Now its in the same state it was before

[sterile yew]

yeah it feels so good now, idk why but the shooting feels consistent and not janky, hitting headshots is so easy now.

[rustic tinsel]

The current approach to nerfs is going too far. Everything is getting weaker. Stop nerf.Just buff underperforming and unfairly nerfed things. Nerf parrots never stop. When something gets nerfed, they whine to nerf something else.

If you keep listening to people who ask for nerfs not because something is op,but just because it annoys them(cause skill issue), of course the game will fall apart.

If the Sword’s lunge doesn’t go back to 140 dmg,it’s just useless.If it’s under 140,you can’t use it against Medium or Heavy at all.Right now, can't even use it against Light.That value was calculated and made sense in terms of balance.

Everyone knows Dagger,Sword and all melee get countered by Light.But you nerfed Sword while pretending it was for the sake of Lights, even though it was obviously done to benefit Mediums.
Medium has the highest pick rate and top performance in WT and ranked.There’s a reason people started saying “The Mediums”.
Heavy is still powerful at close range,so melee isn’t even a threat to them.

Medium has tons of tools to counter melee: turrets, mines, goo grenade, glitch trap, dematerializer, jump pad, zip line, proximity sensor, and a bunch of weapons. And still,these skill-issue players cry for nerfs to melee and weak wepon even though they already have all those tools.They just can’t handle melee because of a skill issue.
I play all class,melee was never a problem when I played Medium or Heavy(not to mention Light).But because of these dumb whining, stuff that wasn’t even meta got nerfed.That’s how you ruin patches.

About Double Barrel,you nerfed it, then reverted it.Because Light has low HP, so it needs to have high DPS. DB is only viable up close, and it needs to 2-tap Heavy.That balance was correct, so reverted.
The same goes for Sword.Nerfing melee dmg is saying “don’t use it.”It’s the same mistake as with DB. Sword was built around close-range and low health.it required specific damage combinations for each classes.so lunge was 140.

[hollow sage]

Are y'all so for real right now? At LEAST COMMENT ON THE MELEE WEAPON DISCOURSE. Two updates since season 7 and you haven't even mentioned that your player base is begging for melee weapons to be looked at again. Same with adding more detailed stats. Can we get a roadmap of y'all's priorities or something???

[lost patrol]

I will not lie, the H+ Emitter healing through barricades made for a really good synergy between the two gadgets and it's a shame it was removed. I really thought it was intentional and it opened up a lot of interesting strategies while still leaving room for sufficient counterplay. (Explosions damaged it through barricades)

I hope this gets added as an intentional feature in the future. It really enabled even more creativity with barricades than before, which is saying a lot.

(also uncripple all the melee weapons. there is now not a single one remaining which hasnt been kneecapped, or just sucks, for no reason)

[versed gull]

Buff sword and dagger, please! 🗡️ 💕

It sucks that using my favourite weapons means I'm throwing in a ranked game :(

[cinder mason]

Im sure anyone is listening to a person with a tag like that lmao.

[gray flare]

melee needs a rework. quick melee combos are unintuitive and feel bad to use, so why not just make quick melee go on the same cooldown as melee swings? then it becomes a more niche combo tool and makes balancing melee damage more straightforward

[mellow geyser]

Will you share how matchmaking and lobby balancing work in World Tour? It’s quite unenjoyable for a solo player.

[round isle]

Let sledge hit through goo, nerf winch, make the left click for sledge do 110 and the right click do at minimum 175, peoples issues were with the winch, not the sledge itself

[pastel cypress]

No new weapons this season kinda sucks

[fallen copper]

please please please review the flamethrower. Its such a unique and fun weapon but just isnt viable in any type of play. Just review the time to kill performance.

I jumped into a practice range and hip fired almost every weapon into a medium dummy and most weapons are in the 1.5-2.2 second range with the flamethrower sitting out at 2.8-3 seconds. Other websites show the same data.

How can a weapon thats strictly close range and gets out DPS'ed by every other weapon (including melee) be viable? Only one way to get kills and thats to suicide into high actions area and hope you dont get targeted (you will, people love shooting heavies first).

Get the jump on someone? hit them with the claw and bring them in close? well it takes a full second longer for you to kill them so they get to use that time to dash out or react and make sure you either lose that 1v1 or at best trade.

Consistently trading to lights and mediums, losing every 1v1 to another heavy and basically getting no oportunity to damage multiple enemies, without suiciding renders the weapon a tactical waste other than the memes.

Sure team play can change this with heals etc, but only if the team decides to prioritize your style of play over anything else and since its the slowest killing weapon in the game, why would a player prioritize keeping the lowest DPS player alive? they wouldnt.

It needs something to push it over the edge but not too far, a range buff would help or just bringing it back into the distributions of other weapons on time to kill makes sense to me. Its an outlier right now

[earnest sonnet]

we need a spawn rotation. There is no fun spawning on the same spot over and over again and instantly dieing.

[vocal plinth]

Embark devs,

I've been a playing since open beta. I love this game more than any other online multiplayer game I've ever played. I've completed, or will be about to complete, every single battle pass so far.

I just have one request, pretty please. I am a stats nerd. I love looking at my various stats with different weapons, or glasses, or gadgets. I'd love to be able to see a summary of my most recent ~25 or more games, to analyze the trends in my gameplay.

But more than anything, I need to be able to see my total cashouts stolen, total cashout steals stopped, and total assists. Please! 🙏

Signed,
A man that loves your game

Cosmetics

Can you guys move onto LITERALLY ANY OTHER THEME for cosmetics? You dropped like 5 separate bundles based on samurai/ninja stuff at the start of THIS season, and we already had season 3 which was pretty much dedicated to samurai/ninja stuff. We already have 8 separate bundles that are samurai/ninja themed and a bunch of other singular items that aren’t tied to any bundles that are ALSO samurai/ninja themed. Please give some love to LITERALLY ANY OTHER THEME? For medieval for example, we have 2 helmets, that’s IT. 2 HELMETS. I understand that it’s a futuristic themed season this time, but there’s so many different things you guys can add besides yet another samurai/ninja thing. I was genuinely so excited for today’s store update because you guys always drop something really good the week after a new season starts and then it ended up being another samurai thing. It’s a cool bundle, don’t get me wrong, but can you do literally any other theme? Pretty please?

[ripe trail]

Nerf aim assist on console. I’m on ps5 and beaming is too easy

[random lagoon]

I think we need to stop nerfing stuff, instead we should be buffing everything to match, cuz I’ve said this before and I’m saying it again now: If Embark keeps listening to the community too much, every weapon is gonna end up dealing 1 damage and someone will still complain.
Embark, you are amazing for actually listening to peoples feedback and making changes to your game from it, but maybe it’s time to listen to less and think “is it a balancing problem? Or is it a skill issue?”

[tawdry tree]

It's just that there are more people with bad mics, with a lot of sound (tv, childrens screaming, car traffic (not even kiding)) with tendencies to speak a native langage that is not english, with desire to be toxic / flame / troll... Than there are ppl like you trying to be useful to their team. That's why a lot of us desable comms

NERF THROWING KNIVES, NERF DAGGERS BACKSTAB,NERF SH SHOTGUN AND NERF REVOLVERS HEADSHOT MULTIPLIER , THERE SHOULDNT BE WEAPONS THAT KILL YOU ONE SHOT WITHOUGHT YOU HAVING A CHANCE TO REACT BY BEING HIT IN THE BACK WHILE SHOOTING SOMEONE ELSE . I DKNT CARE IF THESE WEAPONS ARE NICHE AND REQUIRE SKILL EVERY GUN REQUIRES SOME SKILL IF YOU WANT TO PLACE YOURSELF IN A DISADVANTAGE THEN GO AHEAD , THAT DOESNT MEAN THESE WEAPONS SHOULD BE FUCKING BROKEN

[solar sail]

a charm like the TOTALIZER would be much more popular if it tracked total kills with the weapon account wide instead of per round.

Gotta say I am very disappointed with the lack of issues addressed in this weekly update.

FIX YOUR SERVERS, I DONT WANT TO GET KICKED FROM THE SERVER EVERY MINUTE OR TWO WHEN IM TRYING TO PLAY A COMPETITIVE GAME MODE, SHITS ANNOYING

[potent pawn]

I think this is how Embark should do it:

Currently free tier gets 75×5=375 multibucks and premium gets 75×21=1575

It should be:
Free gets 100×4=400 multibucks (25 more)
Premium gets 100×21=2100 (525 more)

So premium could reasonably be 1650 (500 more) to buy.

Both free and premium get an extra 25 multibucks with these changes, and the price is increased to increase support for Embark!

I’d like to see stats for each weapon. My K/d, the pick rate and maybe even proper damage values and multipliers. Also add a skip button to the music player

[hardy bison]

why is rank so laggy, my internet isnt even bad i would hop on rank and lag out the whole game, this game becoming more unenjoyable every moment

What is this patch? We just working too hard on arc raiders or what?🤣

[spring stream]

please increase bp tokens drop per match it's way too low 😞

i swear to god playing dagger vs playing cl40 against or as the weapons it just feels like hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby 😭

Got it… so you fix an issue where people emote at a very specific time and it nearly crashes the game… but you don’t fix the map destruction and dropped frames that came with season 7 nearly
Breaking everything and server performance non stop almost every rooms showing multiple performance issue symbols.. got it. Always most important things first right? Let’s fix the emoting issue vs the being able to play the game issue

[obsidian sail]

just because one thing is fixed and not another doesn't mean that they dedicated 100% of their resources to the fixes you see implemented in the game.

[south hull]

appeal to developers

Please, I beg you and probably many will agree with me. Make access to the world tour from level 20.
Since you added points for losing, more people have started playing in the world tour, since they see the earnings of multibucks and everyone plays starting from level 1, without even understanding the mechanics. throws a level 60 player into a party and two players up to level 10 - the result is simply ruining the rink. urgently set a restriction on access for players with a level below 20. Believe me, the amount of multibucks that you give for gold has already attracted players and they will be forced to level up to 20 to start playing in the world tour for multibucks. it has become impossible to play in the world tour because of inexperienced players, and finding a party with your level is a problem since experienced players do not want to play in the world tour for various reasons, who does not have the time to play or who has other concerns. but everyone is interested in multibucks because they can only be obtained in the world tour. For you, it is better to keep the audience of players in the game longer, so make them level up to level 20 and understand the mechanics of the game.

Day 5 of asking embark to bring back bank it

[slender girder]

Probably a troll post, but how about you turn off aim assist then instead of suggesting stuff that would kill the game for sure?😅 The game already isn't as popular as it could be on console.

[misty rock]

They should leave the ability to double the box, but if it gets doubled nobody gets the plug bonus, or the team currently holding the cashout gets the bonus instead of the team that actually dunks. They need to de-incentivize doubling as a way to cement your lead, while still leaving it as a possibility for coming back at the last minute.

[slow void]

Any plan to balance the nade launcher ?

[wide void]

It kills every class slower than Repeater, Pike, Revolver, and Model do. It reloads slower than those weapons. And it's a self-damaging projectile.

CL-40's skill floor is low, but it's obsolete in Plat and up. It has plenty of counterplay. Learn to play around it

ASK TO BUFF UNDERPERFORMING WEAPONS BEFORE NEEDLESSLY NERFING MORE SHIT. Thank you.

@analog glacier Low skill does mean OP, genius. It doesn't need a nerf. You think Flamethrower needs a nerf even though it's the easiest to aim? Also, you really think people are macroing shoot+jump? Get real

[wooden atlas]

Yes PLEASE no more nerfs Embark. CL-40 isn’t overperforming in the least, it’s just seen everywhere because people don’t have 1887 or Cerby to spam. Gutting the game’s whole arsenal (except of course for ARs and SMGs because heaven forbid we nerf those 😏) is 100% the wrong way to go

[neat yoke]

i just wish model had a better reload lol

[vague steppe]

Did they do sum with the akimbo or am i delusional

[hollow barn]

I do not agree with the increasing price escalation of the items. New animations cost 250 mb more than an animation pack of the same rarity.

I know you are testing to what extent people are willing to pay for it, but I think lately you are more aggressive with monetization.

[sleek topaz]

Buff again sword like you promise

[analog glacier]

Dear Lyrit, the potential of a weapon should always be commensurate with its difficulty of use and therefore the skill required of the player to know how to use it.

The CL40 does not require any particular skill and therefore as this weapon is structured at the moment, NERF is MANDATORY!

Now you only see and hear SPAM and continuous SPAM of CL40 and players who perhaps also use a MACRO manage to shoot and jump at the same precise moment always, further decreasing the difficulty of using this weapon!

So you have to balance it by doing this at the same time:

NERF:

• Bring the magazine to 4 shots.
• Decrease the damage range of grenades.
• Decrease the area damage of grenades.
• Increase the damage to yourself or make the jump useless so that you do not receive damage.

BUFF:

• Increase the reload speed a bit.
• Give more damage to direct hits on the player but lower the area damage.

Stop.

P.S. You don't need to give advice on how to "deal with" the CL40, since you could be told to learn to use weapons that require skill. Cheers.

[fading sleet]

CAN WE PLEASE HAVE CAPES FOR COSMETICS?

[sonic arrow]

It almost seems like they dropped game balance to focus on money grabbing tactics...

[latent niche]

**1400 hours in - and I'm uninstalling the game, Embark. **

Server performance and game optimization is terrible. The only players that can have fun have $3000 pcs and that's the entirety of your playerbase.
This game should have 100,000 players online but Embark can't/won't optimize the game or improve server performance.
Low end and mid-range pcs can't run this game without risk of a brain aneurysm because of how much it stutters and lags.
Therefore those players will move elsewhere for a better experience

We need killcams. Killcams aren't just an optional luxury, they're how players make sense of a fast paced game without feeling like they've been cheated.

We need match replays. They're how content creators get cool shots for videos, and it's also NESSECARY to improve your own gameplay and improve.

The $30 Ultimate battlepass is an atrocity. Why would you stoop to AAA predatory money-making tactics? Players are gravitating AWAY from those developers. This game was already constantly on the top 100 best-sellers list on steam, so why the greed?

I can't even comprehend why you're not pouring money into marketing and server performance/optimizations for mid-range pcs and instead are teasing a tournament... for a fundamentally broken game.
I just encountered a bug where I couldn't steal a cashout on kyoto because there was an invisible wall in the way. If I lost a tourney because of that you'd have to send me to be restrained in a mental institution from going postal.

[obsidian tangle]

Day 2 of asking for map editing tools - please,,.. i want to make the finals maps...

[median bloom]

why is there so much ping and lag issues now!?

[somber crest]

i got that too

[twilit sand]

Bring back 20rnd fcar and 36 rnd ak. Buff every weapon around these two. TTK has become too slow with all the nerfs and healing.

[spice rapids]

since you cant learn, here is how to counter the cl40.

stick with your team

play high ground

engage from a distance

both APS and Guardian turrets make the CL40 harder to use

use shields effectively

use dash/grapple/jumpad/zipline to escape and reposition

Jump before the grenade lands at ur feet to reduce/negate damage

use flashbangs, because CL40 users will typically kill themselves on accident if flashed

use nullifier and then coordinate with team to finish them

use glitch traps/nades so the CL40 user is soley reliant on the weapon during a fight (CL40 relies on gadget/specializations more than most weapons)

YOU HAVE SO MANY OPTIONS BUT INSTEAD CHOOSE TO COMPLAIN BECAUSE YOU CANT ADAPT

if none of this helps, go to Aim Labs brother 👨🏾

even in powershift these all still apply

There is a difference between countering one and countering 3 on a gamemode where you need to stand on a small platform, and any small movement on the platform makes it stop moving

When 3 of them are just bombaring the platform they have a lead in, little coordantion with your team will help with dealing with the ease of use of just them standing on a building making sure that noone gets on the platform

[cobalt kernel]

nerf CL 40 already, shits ridiculous, projectiles travel too fast and too far

Buff breach charge fuse time, takes forever to detonate

[river heath]

Skip button on the music player (otherwise amazing job on that)

[jagged cairn]

I agree with this %100, if not nerfing CL 40 at least add penalty to jump spamming, it is ridicilous. They don't need any aim and they threw off enemy aim by constant jumping.

[blissful smelt]

I have positive vibes about this lates patch. Do they buffed or de-nerfed the pike556? Or the L class has less HP again?
I had some good duel against thos uverpowered L-UZI players, and I killed them. It's since S4 that didn't happened...

i main dagger and ill tell you, good players have no problem killing dagger lights, maybe its not these weapons are broken maybe your just bad

[woeful ibex]

CL-40 nerf when? It shouldn't do more damage than the MGL-32 when it has impact grenades. It's so stupid that they can jump around and spam shot it an aslong as they are +3meters away they don't take any selfharm and even when they start taking selfharm it's basically not significant enough fast enough so you can run around in close quarters with a freaking grenade launcher and use it like a big expolisve shotgun. Mean while the MGL-32 is so shit that it can be countered by litterly just constantly jumping to avoid being hit and even if an MGL-32 hits you it does less damage than an CL-40 with faster damage drop off, I've litterly done 4 to 10 damage on shots with the MGL-32 when shooting it in to rooms.

[keen lily]

add MMR at least in ranked solo queue, don't only look at the rank but also k/d ratio of the player and playtime, this game is unplayable solo in ranked rn and this is your fault

[stoic vine]

Region is set to europe but every game it feels like I am playing on an NA server since season 7. All the warning symbols are red on the right of my screen. Can we have an option to display ping on the scoreboard or something?

[woven hawk]

I can't believe free and unpunished teamkilling hasn't been addressed in TDM.

Getting defibbed in the middle of 5 enemies just so your teammate can get +1 stats shouldn't be free. You get +1 death and also +1 loss for their stat.

It's like picking up my unwilling body trying to spawn somewhere else and FORCING me to die where they want me to. Teammates can punish each other with defib, but can't get reported.

You can farm your teammate souls in TDM, cause death & loss without any consequence. I don't think free teamkilling should exist.

[rustic vault]

Every single game is just CL40 spam

[hollow roost]

It’s the most ass thing ever

[tame vessel]

Here is a list of weapons that need to be buffed but not make them meta in the next balance patch

Spear: increase the basic attack damage combo to 70, 80, 95 and increase the spin attack damage to either 120 or 130

KS-23: increase the projectile speed to 500m/s and either add a 1.2x headshot multiplier or decrease the fire rate to 73 RPM and increase the player damage to 120

Riot shield: increase the swing speed by a little and make it so we can bash people while blocking if they get too close and the bash will do no damage but will knock them back a bit but not too far maybe like 5 meters and increase the movement speed when blocking

R.357:Increase the bodyshot damage to 75 and decrease the headshot multiplier to 1.9 therefore making it 75 × 1.9=142.5 and also decrease the fire rate by a little bit maybe from 140 to 130

Dual blades: add a parry mechanic so it can parry secondary attacks of other melee weapons like the sledgehammers overhead charge but it can't parry the primary attacks of other melee weapons and increase the first swing damage from 50 to 55 and increase the second swing damage from 60 to 65 and lastly increase the final attack damage from 65 to 75 and make it so the final attack can be done faster and increase the movement speed when deflecting by just a little bit

AKM: increase magazine capacity to 34, 35 or 36, the choice is yours on what number you choose

ARN-220: increase the fire rate to 750 rpm, decrease the duration of the tactical reload animation from 2.45s to 2.30s, decrease the duration of the full reload animation from 2.80s to 2.60s

Smoke Grenade: decrease the ammo from 3 to 2, and decrease the cooldown from 50s to 20s

please, please Embark these weapons and gadget need some love

Game is now unfair to play snipers really need a redone , the new gear that was added for heavys also need to be fixed the amount of campaign with that and the shields for heavy make it unfair.

New wepones need to be added to make the game fair the dual katanas are stupit blocking shot making it to where it's hard to kill someone needs to be removed it's not fair at all.

Mini gun needs to have a faster spinning up and damage there no why I dump a whole drum and there not dead top of the camouflage need to be worked on too spamming it over and over makes it unfair .

Maps need to be redone in team death match I keep dieing to campers with a dam sniper that should not be a kill form one shot .

Servers stability have gone to shit since season 7, you randomly get insane latency while your teamates don't, your game just freezes for multiple seconds, this isn't good if you're planning on running online qualifiers for the major, it happens so frequently it will actually impact games

THIS GAME IS SO ASSSSSSSSSSS U CANT SLIDE SPRINT OF MANTLE NOTHING WORKS

[woven quest]

Patch 7.1 ⚠️ sight glitch still present. ⚠️ This is a serious issue Embark, it's not like some small thing, this is core functionality that severely impacts gameplay and throws off entire matches. Please prioritize this fix. 🥺

[analog fog]

the servers this seaons are some of the most laggy, bugged garbage i've ever seen. Demat not registering despite me mashing lmb, defibs glitching, an infinite reload animation glitch, no consistent hit reg on anything, running in place, the game straight up freezing, the list goes on and on. Full red symbols for the entirety of a round is the norm more often then not when I log on and start playing. I've played since season 1 and this is the worst its ever felt. Please take the time to address this fundamental aspect of the game. Good servers would likely fix 70% of the issues people are having with this game. I don't care if we don't get weapons or new content for a while, or even if theres some downtime while this gets fixed, streamlining things server side so that players get the best possible experience in the regard. Most any other needed fixes are secondary to this one issue that affects all other aspects of gameplay. and before anyone asks, my PC is more than capable of running the finals at medium to high graphics with good performance, and i've checked my internet connection 7 times over to verify that the problem isn't stemming from something on my end of things

[simple ether]

Yeah defib should be a specialization imo anyways. Nothing more annoying than having to wait 15 secs only to get revived while surrounded then die again and wait another like 25 secs.

Not to mention the amount of people who team on this game. Kids camping in a corner afk, moving every couple of seconds so they dont get banned. Or having other teamates who intentionally hit their own teamates with nades and exploding/gas/glitch tanks.

They desperately need to fix this issue. Its like every other game this happens.

[surreal meadow]

[fallow gust]

1. Please add the option to preview how the animation will look on the player card before buying it

2. Right now, everyone sees their own character in the center at match start. It’d be great if everyone saw the same thing — that way, being in the center would actually feel meaningful.

3. Please add a way to see how many kills you’ve made with each weapon.

4)Would be great if the intro showed some player stats — like how many kills they’ve made with their current weapon, or their average kills/deaths. Maybe show it under the center character only, or even under everyone. Even better if it’s customizable.

5. Please add an option to see your ping.

6)Please add a replay system.

7. Add an option to inspect weapon skins in first person, or some way to preview them in-game before buying.

8. Please make it so that you can place stickers wherever you want instead of just one fixed spot. It would also be great if we could adjust their size.

9. I think it would be cool to add a light upgrade system for abilities or weapons — nothing too extreme. For example, Light’s dash could have two upgrade paths: one that gives you an extra charge (so 4 instead of 3), and another that lets you dash through walls once every 30 seconds. These upgrades could unlock at certain ability levels. I believe this kind of system would make builds more interesting and encourage players to experiment with different combinations.

Hey this is just my two cents. But how come there's no solo mode I get it's like you want team effort but you should make a mode for those too late to just straight up shoot each other and not be in a team

The game keeps freezing ..

[round obsidian]

cl40 is a shit weapon for shit players. you have a good start to a match and the second the enemy start to get destroyed the whole team pulls that trash out for easy kills. just get rid of it or reduce the mag size to 2-3 and greatly increase the self damage so the spam is less abundant.

Update after patch S7 :

** General feedback **

I bought the Ultimate BP . To support you guys, really. But to be honest, from my POV, the price is to much high and should be able to buy IG not by bundle. 20€ will be fairer price if you can regain it in the BP.
Looks like your hired someone in charge of monetization from Respawn. I bought it this time. Not sure I will do it every seasons.

New season, but still MMH / HHM META

I WOULD KILL TO SEE YOUR DATA ON LIGHT AND HOW WEAK AND UNBALANCED THEY ARE

🎲 For the game 🎲

• Unreal or random crashes still here in S7. More than ever ! Need to update my BIOS
• In pratice game, let us fight between friends (or not !)
• Why in WT, lose in final round against a tri-stack squad when I'm playing solo ?
• Add "step" in the reload animation so when you climb on something during a reload, it's not completly reset.
• Add a report option " Sabotage " in the report section in game please.
• Let us choose our sight weapons at the beginning of a game
• Delete low gravity event. It's not fun AT ALL
• Random charm list for weapons/gadgets. EDIT : Thanks for the random skin weapons. Can we just choose multiple skins and randomize them for the next step please ?
• 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 banner of friends & recent players.
• **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 & their community to make the game more fun **

**⚖️ For balance ⚖️ **

• REVERT CL40 BUFF. It's destroying the fun in your game
• Revert the nerf of the XP54. What's the point of putting XP at 16 dmg when M11 do the same, faster & with more bullets ?
• Nulifier is just useless. Offer invincibility to the ennemy ? Really ?
  Rework : When you get it by the "Taser" your recoil is increased but you can still move as you want and your take 5 dmg/sec by the electricity. Can hit multiple target like lockbolt.
• You shouldn't be able to right clic sword + dash
• Nerf the CB01-Repeater damage or increase the recoil
• Rework Vanish Bomb. Make it start regen instant. It will increase survability for the Light and it can be use for your teammates too !
• Nerf Turret 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 like Riot Shield.
• Nerf the range of the KS23. You can put 100 dmg at 20m.
• Nerf PIKE to 48 dmg instead of 50 dmg.
• Rework defib: Reduce the cooldown reset to 5s and give 100HP instead of 50% of your HP. It will force Medium to revive safier !
• Rework Sonar : Scan 5 times instead of 3 but if you don't move it can't scan you
• Winch & lockbolt shouldn't do damage. It's strong enough to not make damage
• Try to rework the ARN into a real AR ? Slower RPM but much more DMG. Something like the FCAR / AK for example.

The effort to play Light correctly is too damn high compared to Medium and Heavy. There is no fun at all playing Light.
You're scared of buffing XP or ARN because of cry baby. The class got ONLY 150HP ! REMEMBER ?!
Meanwhile Medium spam with CL40 and Heavy are unkillable with the new heal.

** 🛜 Servers problems 🛜 **

• Improve your netcode / tickrate or I don't know what ! Dying behind cover it's one of the most frustrating thing in The Finals
• Flamethrower and hook should NOT get you through walls, doors and farer than it should be
• Sword, dagger, dualsword or all other melee weapon feels unfair when you think you're out of range and die anyway.

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

I’ve been playing since beta. The healing emitter is making me want to quit. At least make it exclusive to the medium or light, not the heavy who already has shields and the most health lol

game is very awesome

[muted shard]

you cant add friends anymore over the recent tab on social. Thats cant be intended and ist highly annoying, pls fix asap.

I also dislike, that you get thrown out of the reporting window and that the text you typed does not save. Very annoying too.

But the new season is great, besides the price increase for mythic.

Free to play, free to uninstall.

BUFF THE DAMN** SWORD **ALREADY!!!!!!!

[odd ibex]

Light breach charge needs to stack damage atleast close to what it was in season1

U should be able to charge a riot shield bash by using the weapon inspection button where u hit ur shield with Baton as a taunt and a telegraph to charge shield bash and use it to get closer or knock(5 damage) them off structures

New move for dual blades inspect animations then hold alt where u sharpen one blade by dragging in to the other blade creating sparks💥 to do some fire or electric(stun/glitch) damage when the sparks hit and maybe make it into a mechanic to do a special move like u do a lunge duel slash after jumping cause the duel blade is kinda boring from a gameplay perspective 😔

the devs can sell different variations of blade sparks(different colours) but one should have it by default to set enemies on fire🔥

This is a must,I am onto to something here plz listen🙏
💥heavy/medium class chainsaw would be the melee equivalent to the minigun.
To put it in crude terms it’s a melee minigun but more mobile with movement but lower damage,u have to reload the fuel.Atleast it will be good with destruction as the minigun takes forever to break walls.Just not sure if it will be a gadget or a weapon.

Just more variety to play the game and get cool skins.
At the very least make the sledgehammer have a mythic chainsaw skin with animations.

[stuck garnet]

bro are yall servers cooked do?

[distant vine]

when are the servers gonna be fixed? i might not have the best internet. but since s7 its been unplayable with lag and teleporting.

WHYYYY TF IS THE GAME FREEZIN, everyone that i know and playing with is happening to them

[hollow kelp]

HHM hasn't been meta for like 4 seasons

[grave bane]

A longsword and shield would be cool for heavy

[bold ocean]

Does saying having poor team coordination in the after game surveys actually help improve anything or is it just a waste? All I ever put is poor team coordination because it's always trash matchmaking

[ashen stirrup]

i agree with what you mentioned about playing light, it feels like everyone knows how to counter them effectively at this point making them feel like high risk low reward. My instinct from a balance perspective would be to make them slightly tankier like 175hp or even 200 hp cuz sometimes i just exist and im dead already

[latent niche]

I.... guess I'm not the only one...

Repost from earlier, so hopefully a dev can see it:

**1400 hours in - and I'm uninstalling my favourite game, Embark. **

Server performance and game optimization is terrible. The only players that can have fun have $3000 pcs and that's the entirety of your playerbase.
This game should have 100,000 players online but Embark can't/won't optimize the game or improve server performance.
Low end and mid-range pcs can't run this game without risk of a brain aneurysm because of how much it stutters and lags.
Therefore those players will move elsewhere for a better experience

We need killcams. Killcams aren't just an optional luxury, they're how players make sense of a fast paced game without feeling like they've been cheated.

We need match replays. They're how content creators get cool shots for videos, and it's also NECESSARY to improve your own gameplay and improve in general.

The $30 Ultimate battlepass is an atrocity. Why would you stoop to AAA predatory money-making tactics? Players are gravitating AWAY from those developers. This game was already constantly on the top 100 best-sellers list on steam, so why the greed?

I can't even comprehend why you're not pouring money into marketing and server performance/optimizations for mid-range pcs and instead are teasing a tournament... for a fundamentally broken game.
I just encountered a bug where I couldn't steal a cashout on kyoto because there was an invisible wall in the way. If I lost a tourney because of that you'd have to send me to be restrained in a mental institution from going postal.

[copper isle]

sometimes i play in the new map, and the server feels like molasses on the first round only

Please remove revive statue in TDM and make it just like how it was in the heavy hitters LTM that was perfect.

[narrow wyvern]

now automatic weapons have delayed hitmarkers (again)

[pallid flower]

Remove thermal vision already

[random lagoon]

There’s a couple good stuff in here, but the rest are actually just horrible opinions, like the balance ideas here suck, most of these seem like you’re getting mad because you keep dying to them
“Revert CL40 Buff” how about instead of nerfing everything, we buff everything to be equal instead of destroy what could be mediums worst weapon already, I mean you put the revert cl40 point TWICE
“Let us shoot in the feet of Dual Blades” You CAN do that
“Nullifier is useless” It’s not if you actually know when to use it, it takes an ENTIRE CONTESTANT out of the fight briefly, giving you time to heal teammates who were about to die, it can change a 3v3 into a 2v3, and it can easily get someone off a cashbox
“Nerf turret range” Skill Issue
And removing winch and lockbolt damage is dumb, 1: I don’t even think lockbolt does damage (Edit: it does), 2: Winch is like literally stabbing into the contestant to grab them and it does like 5 damage
Despite the fact you think light is hard, it’s a pretty fun class to play and doesn’t require nearly the amount of effort you make it seem

[wooden sand]

please fix the servers

[worthy totem]

make solo queue, its already hard to play with your shitty balancing. now i gotta play against ruby teams with 2 golds. definition of THEFINALS. and make nullified enemies separate entities. how can an invincible guy bodyblock a door. like wtf, i use the gadget to not deal with the guy. now i gotta deal with a door i cant open. dumssaes

[solemn burrow]

push to talk isnt working rn?

[sturdy heron]

Did embark move away from a dedicated server model? Wireshark shows i am getting flooded with packets when certain teams rush the cashout to secure a win and i watch myself and half the lobby go afk and get gunned down

[chilly canopy]

lockbolt also does 5 damage

[jovial viper]

I would love if the shooting gallery saved best times on each individual weapon!

[upbeat creek]

So... The game nerf all fun weapons in order to have a sterile gameplay so that the "pro players" do not have to change their approach too much when the enemy changes weapons. Thanks Embark...

It makes me sad to see the game go in the direction of "competition first" at the expense of game fun. Now I feel like to play decently you have to take a Hitscan weapon or you're at a disadvantage. The gameplay becomes sterile, boring and repetitive.

This message will not change anything... but Embark, please... wake up and go back to your roots, an fps with an innovative and "complex" gameplay but above all FUN and varied!

[willow berry]

[quaint wadi]

Hi, is there any report about connectivity issues?

[wild lion]

I wrote a damn manifesto but discord is dumb and it's too long, like even if I had nitro I'm over double the character limit, not that I'm going to pay for nitro. So I'll just send like a piece of it since I already put all this effort in before getting bored and quiting. If anyone wants to read the full thing just DM me, not like it matters much tho

Cerberus and co
Why do you hate this weapon, just why. Like it's such a cool design and concept but it just falls flat. Honestly tho I don't want to see the nerf undone, I want the fire to be a more prominent feature. Like I want this shit to work like the dragon breath shotgun from John wick 4. I just wanna commit war crimes with a shotgun please. I think the after burn should be a bit longer and it should take less damage to ignite them. Or my alternative idea thats way wackier but unlike way more. Give the Cerberus to the light with the current stats but a bit tighter spread, and then give medium a repeater shotgun like the model with a tight spread, less damage but with a better burn mechanic, should probably have 4 rounds in the clip and should shoot a burst of fire with the shotgun shot. So instead of being ignited with DMG it is literally a flamethrower burst and a shotgun burst. It would less effective at medium ranges than the model but better at shreding people who are in the flame range. I think an 8 pelet cone with 10 damage a pellet would be good, the flame burst should deal around 8 DMG with standard after burn. With these numbers it 2 shots lights, 3 shots mediums, and 4 shots heavies, as long as the flame burst hits.

[keen walrus]

1. Fix the random freezes 2. Bring back Bank It

[fading cobalt]

• Servers barely working, or just not working at all. Had several games where everything was so laggy that everyone in the server was dealing with over a second of latency.

• The Deagle BP skin that can reduce the FPS of the game from the 120-140 range to the 20s. This was fixed. It just wasn't specified.

• The systemic removal of melee from relevance.

• Their refusal to tone down weapons like the FAMAS, Pike, I mean hell most of the hitscan weapons that dominate the meta.

• The degradation of build identity by adding healing to Light and Heavy. Specifically giving Light a blatantly overpowered healing gun that can instantly get a teammate from basically dead to full HP almost instantly.

• Completely ignoring weapons like the MGL32 while they repeatedly change the CL-40, a weapon that was fine as-is when it was balanced around low splash, but high direct damage.

• The increasing level of Nexonization in monetization.

Need I go on?

[hallow epoch]

Then you must suck at playing dagger if you have the ability to sneak and one shot even a heavy, your just mad cause if they nerf it you won't know what to do with your miserable life

suspension for leaving games is like 8-10 min.. stop leaving matches and you wont get 2h 👆

[hybrid spear]

Did the big box challenge become ALOT HARDER? Yesterday before the patch I was able to beam them, best time was 39s with the m11. Now I’m getting melted doing the same run

[still flower]

embarak add this to the game we need this. the game need a better femal body design to look more femenist... im a girl and i want my charachter look more like a grown women... like the new muscilar men body that you guys added... also add this women design that looks beutiful and looks like a gym women with good looking body...

[inland thistle]

2 Big Ideas I’ve had for awhile, particularly for ranked but kind of overall.

First:
I think you should be able to spend respawn tokens on class changes in ranked. It gives you the opportunity to counter something on an enemy team, but at the cost of a potential respawn that could be critical for your team.

Second:
I think starting a steal should stop a Cashout from disappearing. 7 seconds is a long time, and everyone who knows how the game works knows the last 6 seconds of a game/cashout don’t matter at all as long as no one has started a steal.

I think if stealing stops the box from leaving, it makes things a lot more intense. You have to really question if it’s safe to leave your cashout early, and it would make the last few seconds of the game far more intense and unpredictable.

[novel trench]

I’d like the option to disable the chat filter back please. It was removed for reasons beyond my understanding and the filter is very egregious with what it considers worthy of censorship. LMAO is our word, it’s wrong to take it from us.

[cloud jungle]

it's literally free money, get to it embark

[solid halo]

for thr love of GOD fix your game Embark CL-40 should not 2 shot lights balence your game please

[rough storm]

holy mother of cringe revert your goddamnito CL buff already you're killing the game 😂

[twilit nova]

Yet again asking for show token drops to increase

And also the ability to change the colors of sights I hate having the black sight on my colorful guns

[barren silo]

What’s the state of the heavy shield? Anyone (heavy) know?

[cunning warren]

A soloq ranked queue would be nice Embark. I am so tired about the same stacked Ruby losers teams again and again honestly.

[keen lily]

fix the fucking cringe doubling in ranked, look at your data nerds and you will see that it's usually 1st and 4th seed going through the tournament rounds

[midnight dock]

Embark PLEASE add an "assist counts as kill" system like from battlefield 4, I'm so sick and tired of getting someone to 1hp and some idiot stealing my kill and having the assists from my games not even go into my career stats page

[woven quest]

Accessibility feature to set what enemy team colors are allowed. Would help with colorblindness.

[echo urchin]

Not having animation cancels is clunky and annoying. It’s an ineffective balancing crutch that makes the game tedious.

Nerf quick melee.

[hazy vessel]

Glitch grenades for all 3 classes

[tired girder]

The servers have not been this bad in all the time I've played this game. Full on freezing for a few seconds. Huge input delay and lag

[wary escarp]

Would it be a hot take to say the healing emitter could have a balance change to make it so it can stay alive for a limited amount of time or give only a certain amount of healing? I just played with it on power shift and if that thing sits in a corner protected by goo and barricades, it can stay healing for the whole game. Also maybe have the cooldown of when you can use another one start after the first one is destroyed, I like the feature of being able to carry it around and feel it should be necessary if you wanna keep it around

[potent pawn]

make the game better

[waxen bear]

Add a bread barricade fr

[frozen pelican]

for the love of god, what we need is not a 15th frag grenade skin, FLASHBANG STILL DOESN'T HAVE ANY SKINS

[fringe mirage]

I do agree quite a lot on your take with his opinion.

Outside of balance changes, (where i agree 100%), it doesn't feel like constructive critisism. Way to solve problemes or why he find them problematics. It feels a lot like "I find them annoying, please make them less popular." And i deeply hate that.

I do also hate CL-40, but don't know how to make it less annoying without nerfing it, so i don't ask for anything. No nerfs, no buffs.

[gritty jetty]

Remove the "squad deleted, no attachments left" line from the announcer. It makes no sense and doesn't even play on a wipe

[violet matrix]

Game dead 🤢🤢🤮🤮

[rotund gust]

great season Embark can we please get an effects customisation option so we can remove or add different floaty effects. I love the battlepass mythic skins, but don't want the same effect on every one and think I KNOW they would be so clean without them 🙂

[hazy shore]

xp and no skill. name a more iconic duo.

[fierce berry]

If im not mistaken The Finals will never add game replay correct? Would love to look back into games and see what I could've done better

[jagged vector]

Fix your servers, it’s been how many seasons and y’all’s servers still suck compared to other games, there’s not reason that I should be getting killed when I’m behind a wall atleast or getting grappled through walls. For a game who is trying to squeeeeze every last drop of money with the battle pass you would think you invest in better servers. And please for the love of god add a kill cam so we can see who’s actually cheating

[hazy skiff]

buff melee, you have NERFED the only viable melees into the ground, almost all of them are near useless and lose even at the engagements theyre best at, the balance around them seems more focused on qm but in return it breaks all the combo potential with the weapons and makes them struggle to kill even is solo engagements

[twin helm]

no

[wicked ocean]

did battlebox dificulty get changed???????? am i losing my mind what is going on lol

[oblique jay]

Make @true epoch stop changing pfp so my memes of them are consistent

[nocturne tendon]

Top priorit all hands on deck, get all the devs and fix the lag right now

[simple ether]

Powershift is unplayable now with this toxic Medium/Heavy meta.

[ruby timber]

Season 1-2 diamond backgrounds for play cards should be a thing

[remote zealot]

The game relies heavily on audio, but fast-paced combat makes it easy to miss key sounds. Adding synced visual cues (like icons or flashes for cloaking, vault actions, or footsteps nearby) would improve awareness and level the field for all players, especially in chaotic fights.

[vivid drum]

Give medium grenade launcher a rocket jump mechanic. You know you want to...

[full jay]

Yo I just lost 1.3k in a ranked game after placing 2nd

[neat pumice]

people can just leave a game and nothing happens, being unable to play for just 10 minutes its so dumb

[fallow gust]

1. Please add the option to preview how the animation will look on the player card before buying it

2. Right now, everyone sees their own character in the center at match start. It’d be great if everyone saw the same thing — that way, being in the center would actually feel meaningful.

3. Please add a way to see how many kills you’ve made with each weapon.

4)Would be great if the intro showed some player stats — like how many kills they’ve made with their current weapon, or their average kills/deaths. Maybe show it under the center character only, or even under everyone. Even better if it’s customizable.

5. Please add an option to see your ping.

6)Please add a replay system.

7. Add an option to inspect weapon skins in first person, or some way to preview them in-game before buying.

8. Please make it so that you can place stickers wherever you want instead of just one fixed spot. It would also be great if we could adjust their size.

9. I think it would be cool to add a light upgrade system for abilities or weapons — nothing too extreme. For example, Light’s dash could have two upgrade paths: one that gives you an extra charge (so 4 instead of 3), and another that lets you dash through walls once every 30 seconds. These upgrades could unlock at certain ability levels. I believe this kind of system would make builds more interesting and encourage players to experiment with different combinations.

[olive fulcrum]

It would be so cool if you could place Barricades on ceilings and walls. It would be a great differentiating factor between that and goo grenade given the barricade's relative stability to goo and the precise and reliable orientation barricade has.

[quick coyote]

Buff model pretty please, weapon diversity is good!

[nova mica]

PLEASE.

And badges

[analog glacier]

Nerf CL40!

[analog fog]

if ya'll don't drop everything else and fix your servers, guaranteed, your game dies this season. it's unplayable right now, the worst its ever been.

[median bloom]

Yeah its very bad..

[round isle]

Please allow crouch toggle and hold on controller. You can allow a modifier layer with the “equipment wheel” option to enable couch toggle as well and crouch hold.

[viral gorge]

Your servers are fucking unacceptable as it stands.

[drifting topaz]

🟥NERF CL40 (EASE OF USE IS A PROBLEM)

🟦NERF HEAL GUN (HEAL AMOUNT AND RANGE ARE OVERTUNED)

⚠️ FIX YOUR SERVERS (LATENCY, JITTER AND LOSS HAVE BEEN MORE FREQUENT SINCE S7 DROPPED)

[ripe nacelle]

heavy is absolutely broken this season

[limpid orchid]

"Ease of use" has to be the worst reason for a balance change ever.
Just because the enemy is skilled in a method of aiming that is not your common aimlabs hitscan fps, doesnt mean that his playstyle is any less worthy.
Its called skill expression.

[steady breach]

Thank you for fixing one of the biggest gripes I've had with the model and ks23 'caulking' animations. Very happy to see that very tiny window where the 'caulking' is finished but could still be interrupted, because the animation hasn't fully ended, gone for good. I still have massive issues with ks23's balancing but this has made both weapons feel a trillion times more consistent and feel better to use. Thank you so much embark

[quartz cedar]

shooting the ground right next to you
skill expression in finals 2025

[warm echo]

it’s difficult dude you just have to shoot in their general direction and it does more than the model with a faster reload

[cyan sable]

The ping system is incredibly buggy right now. make it less "magnetic". I don't want to ping a cashout that's 200 metres away while looking the opposite direction.

[woven grove]

My game is constantly freezing, and my competitive games are just not moving on to the next round past the post round knockout animations on the bracket. Everyone ends up leaving and we don't even lose anything, does that mean this is a normal thing? that is supposed to happen?

[surreal meadow]

"CL40 is too strong"

please do

Please add Bank It back.

[fading island]

I am on my hands and knees begging you embark. Please do a patch where you review the least used weapons and gadgets. And actually buff them.

Just one patch with no nerfs, just some much needed buffs.

I am offering the entire team personalised feet picks in return.

[celest tree]

add in-game lfg system and match history

[safe zenith]

theres a reason the player count gets lower and lower each season.

[covert dagger]

Releasing a brand new shop item already on sale isn't a sale, that's just the base price. Counter to that is well it could eventually be full price. To that, show me one time a 4,200 multibucks actually cost 4,200 multibucks. There's just no need, don't be weird and scummy, just set the price at 2,400 like it's always going to be anyway

[short sand]

Buff melee, Reduce melee users healing gained from healing sources by 60% and reduce healing rate by 10%
(Percent values debatable)

The real reason embark felt it would be necessary to nerf the sledgehammer in this recent update is because of the recent addition of the healing gadgets for the heavy and light classes, embark knew they would create a healing meta and from the recent mass nerfing of weapons the sledgehammer would be stronger because any heavy abusing the new healing meta would become near Un-killable but by nerfing sledgehammer’s damage and QM combos the sledgehammer gets out damaged easily and the user dies much easier from ranges coming from even 5m, sledgehammer was already easily out damaged at close range if you knew what you were doing and the sledgehammers attacks are slow and avoiding swings is a skill most high skilled ranked players I encounter have, the sledgehammer had high damage because its a point blank range melee weapon given to the slowest class in the game, so by reducing melee users healing from healing sources and returning melees damage values to before should balance out melee if that is what embark is finding necessary, sledgehammer was already gimmicky as hell and now it is made only viable when paired with WinchClaw even more now than before, nerfing the WinchClaw’s range or by adding a charge up mechanic so the winch claw can be avoided easier, alongside the aforementioned balance ideas would not be a problem if sledgehammer and melee as a whole was returned to its previous damage values

Being greedy for kills should be punishing, the regular 10 second health regen timer for heavy would stay the same while healing items would be less effective and less of a crutch

[errant mortar]

Please buff the Data-Reshaper so it's useful again, It was really fun to setup with it, before it got nerfed so heavy.

Do you even know what you mean by “increased usage”? It means everything else that was actually usable has been nerfed.It’s not like it just became OP and people started using it.
Stop fxxking nerf. You’re patching the game straight into the ground.

Even Reddit, a place that doesn't understand anything about game balance, is calling out the recent Sledge nerf.
That alone should be enough to tell you how terrible this patch was.

The only useful thing about the Sledge nerf is that it finally helped 'most people with basic human reasoning' realize how absurd the Sword damage nerf was.
Anyone who has tried using the Hammer after this patch knows it's completely trash now.
And that's exactly what happened to the Sword.

I’ve been saying this the whole time. Nerfing melee damage is the same as saying “don’t use it.”
Sword and hammer are melee weapon. It requires some form of high dmg output in order to compete with other weapons in close range.

I just want to clarify, I am not saying any of the weapons needs nerf. Others do what they are intended to do.
I just want MELEE weapon to actually be USABLE.
Fix the damage. Im tired of weapons getting nerfed simply because people dislike it(cause skill issue).

Yours literlly said,"we’re going to continue to monitor the Sword and explore some alternative changes that might allow us to nudge the lunge damage back up".And yet, there’s been zero follow-up. No balancing, no communication, nothing.
So the sword gets ignored for an entire season, and now you're targeting the sledge hammer instead?

Frankly, it’s getting harder to believe anything written in the developer notes. At this point, it feels like empty PR talk meant to placate players without any real intention of following through.

You must stop listening to nerf parrots.There’s no end to the nerf parrots’ whining. When something they wanted nerfed without any real balance reason(dislike cause skill issue) gets nerfed, they just move on to whine about the next thing.

[sacred isle]

Why Boltlock is taking forever to destory?

[feral shard]

Day 24 requesting a Coin toss emote (only with "The Finals" icon, not a head or tails emote)

It will be a hand emote for the left hand (As every other hand emote) which tosses a coin (With a very satisfaction sound effect, like the ULTRAKILL's one) and then grab it in the air and the emote finishes

It would be so cool since, the enemies get coined, it would be a very gentle but cool flex

Hope Embark takes note of this, we need it in the game, I would pay for it

(Also, please add more hand emotes, I love them)

[frozen tree]

Man just buff the melee weapons. Revert sword, revert sledge, revert dagger (including the recent nerf and previous angle degree nerf), give riot shield block/resistance to explosives, and do something to buff dual blades and spear they’ve been terrible since they released

[fathom karma]

Embark ruby ARN skin pretty please

[swift atlas]

The in-arena announcer voice lines are too frequent, too repetitive and too loud in the mix. He no longer sounds like he's playing on the speakers in the arena, but instead commentating with Scotty and June

[keen karma]

Servers are super laggy, can we get an explanation? AWS is down or something?

[young jetty]

Please do something about the insane meta in power shift. Having a medium with APS turret and the regular turret with a heavy with the healing emitter is unbelievably strong with literally no counters. If glitch grenade still exploded even with a APS turret the meta would cease to exist. Just one medium and one heavy is enough to make an extremely strong platform state, completely ignoring the other mediums and heavies who can make it nearly impossible to even touch the platforms.

[lofty hornet]

reiterating the server lag. From Beta - S6 never had an issue. The game has been unplayably laggy since S7 launch. Getting 2-3 Red symbols on my screen at all times with unbelievable performance.

My brother has a good idea for the rpg and it should have back blast

Good night so, buff melee or rework it nerf the true problem E.g. winch and stun gun (stun gun is good now) so buff melee and see y’all tomorrow

glad im not crazy. it definitely has felt like the mix on volumes has changed. I dont like how loud the announcer is now either

[daring remnant]

remember that scarecrow hat y'all made a while back, the "stitchface stalker". it goes great with the "buccaneer pants" and the "relic roamer wrap" hand piece, but unfortunately theres no shirt for it. You've made so many outfits for tin men, but no scarecrow fit.

Embark, please I beg make an upper body option that looks like its falling apart and stitched together. something with lots of layers of stained cloth and dust. I'd buy a whole 30 dollar pack if i saw this one upper body in it.

[thorn kite]

Server performance absolutely awful

[spice stag]

yea that exploit where you use your movement keys to get behind people with the weapon that kills people when you're behind them, the crazy exploit where you.. press your movement keys..... stop light players from using the pressing the movement keys exploit!

[unreal kindle]

TWIPPYinHD#9162 throws the game for no apparent reason, behaves like a useless human being whose existence is irrelevant to the society that lives in the basement of the things parents, doesnt earn income or has any sort of passive income, only gets food from the house like a rat, behaves around like a nobody that is invicible and whose only existence exists in the finals, beyond 700lbs thing of an existence, burden to the society, gets picked on in school for being morbidly obese whose only existence only exists through getting picked on, parents doesnt really like the thing that lives in the basement

You would be surprised how difficult it is to get those dashing one taps.

Wow.. "lmao" is censored in game chat so that's cool

[lost patrol]

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

WE ARE NOW EXPERIENCING THE THIRD WEAPON IN A ROW WHOSE ISSUE IS LACK OF COUNTERPLAY VARIETY

We've had Sword, We've had Sledge and now we have the god-damned CL-40.

I don't know how this keeps happening, but just remove melee entirely at this point. We have reached a point where NONE OF THE MELEE WEAPONS ARE VIABLE.

If you cant balance melee, just remove it at this point. It's miserable to play and miserable to fight.

And here's another one. STOP NERFING MELEE BECAUSE YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE CAN'T HANDLE IT. DAGGER WAS FINE, YOUR SERVERS WERE NOT. SWORD WAS FINE, BUT HOWEVER YOU MADE IT CLEARLY WASN'T.

With how janky the servers are, playing melee is miserable. It's like I'm playing TF2 all over again.

[vapid sigil]

Just a little quality of life thing I have with the game but havjngthe ability to silence sounds that players can make would be rly nice. Sometimes teammates and enemies will spam them constantly and it gets rly annoying with no real benefit or downside other than hearing meowing or bird chirping all game long. I dont have a problem with the sounds just when they are used constantly. Maybe a cool down on the sounds like some other games have implemented would be nice also

[mossy karma]

Pls nerf lights I hate getting incenerated by a sweaty light

[jagged vector]

Please embark invest in better servers, my game just freezes and it’s ridiculous a game that’s been out this long should not have been having these issues put less time into your new game in the more time in the game you already have

[wooden atlas]

No more nerfs Embark. I beg of you. The balance is fair where it is right now. Only buffs are needed to improve it. Please don’t ruin the fun of this awesome game you’ve created

[iron steeple]

Nerf heavy health its ridiculous

Please buff the cl-40

The recent server lag is horrendous, it hasn't been this bad since Season 1. Yesterday was especially unbearable. I hope they're working on this 😩

[topaz token]

Respectfully, what the fuck did you guys do to fuck up the game this update? So many no reg shots, connection issues, I’m getting placed in absolutely insane lobbies. Is this game actually programmed by AI? Every time something gets fixed, 12 other random things get broken

[worthy totem]

its not. this game is called THEGENERICFPS because they killed thefinals.

Embark,

Just take the defib out of the game.

why does winch stop the victim from shooting? could you make it anymore skillless?

if the heavy decided to pull in a shooting target then let him deal with the consequences of a shooting target

quit holding his hand

just played a match were my whole team i matched with was lvl 12 and below while im 70+ and the whole other team was 70-80+ with memorized lines of site to spawn on round start in terminal attack. WTF is that embark? FIX IT!!

[rustic tinsel]

revert sword lunge to 140dmg , revert sledge

Why are people who clearly don’t even play the game making balance decisions? The devs are listening to clueless complaints and patching based on that.

You completely crossed the line with the nerfs to sword and sledge. Nerfing melee damage is one of the dumbest ways to balance the game. Nerfing melee dmg is saying “don’t use it.” Stop pretending you're helping Light users by reducing melee damage. That’s not helping them at all. Do you really think Mediums and Heavies won’t benefit from this kind of patch? They benefit far more than Light ever will. When melee damage is nerfed, melee becomes useless against every class.

It’s frustrating that people who can’t even grasp this simple fact are in charge of balancing.

Melee has never been part of the meta in any season. Where are the stats that justify nerfing it? If anything, melee needs buffs. And yet you're nerfing sledge? Nerfing sword? You keep listening to useless barking nerf demands from people who don’t even understand the game, and now you say you’re preparing for esports?

There is no esports in the world that listens only to those kinds of nerf complaints. If you keep patching the game like this, your esports ambitions will fail. I don’t want to see that happen. I want this game to succeed. But if this continues, it won’t. You need someone in charge of balance who actually plays the game properly.

I’m tired of having to keep saying what’s logically obvious. Stop nerfing things not because something is op, but just because they annoys them(cause skill issue). Of course the game will fall apart.

Nerfing is not the ultimate solution for a game.
Nerf parrots never stop. When something they wanted nerfed without any real balance reason gets nerfed, they whine to nerf something else. You must stop listening to them right now.

[edgy glen]

Not only are there a lot of gadgets/specializations that excel at completely shutting down melee (Dash, Dematerializer, Charge n Slam, Goo Gun, Gravity vortex, Jump pad, Anti-Grav cube, Lockbolt, Goo grenade) but theres also a few weapons that are really good against melee (throwing knives, double barrel, m11, cerebus)

Melee can largerly be countered by playing around it, melee can't do much against keeping distance and playing in teams.

Theres plenty of melee counterplay to the point where its utterly helpess against certain things, and I can't say that about any other weapons.

[plain wharf]

what's the point of playing this....

[fleet quiver]

don't nerf or buff anything, please remove cl40 tho

V9s should deal less damage but more fire rate

FIX LAG SPIKES PLEASE!!!!!!

[severe linden]

Address sever issues, literally say anything lol

[twilit sand]

Can you please fix the no reg after you winch someone or get winched? There are some iframes on both ends of the interaction. Also fix the dome throw not working. Sometimes I throw it out and nothing happens. Doesn't go on cooldown either so it must be some kind of server lag

[south mauve]

our teammate left as we were queuing, and so now we cant leave and have to lose elo????

[twin helm]

idk wtf this last update did but its making my guns feel like shit every 2 shots are ghost rounds

[earnest sonnet]

fix the servers and netcode
implement spawn rotation. spawning on the same place 2 or 3 times and instantly dieing is not fun.
the matchmaking in world tour is terrible. there are only two options: it is very easy like bronze-gold or you play against ruby/diamond players. why?

Was so happy to see the server performance aknoledgement. Then very sad to see the fix is to manually set server region, which i've always had manually set 😦

[vital olive]

Playing powershift and wiped the platform but it showed as 3 assists no kills seems to be an issue with kill registration, also I thought when you winched the player was denied attack briefly, I've winched a few times and caught a throwing knife to the face before I can launch an attack

[tame vessel]

Here is a list of weapons that need to be buffed but not make them meta in the next balance patch

Spear: increase the basic attack damage combo to 70, 80, 95 and increase the spin attack damage to either 120 or 130

KS-23: increase the projectile speed to 500m/s and either add a 1.2x headshot multiplier or decrease the fire rate to 73 RPM and increase the player damage to 120

Riot shield: increase the swing speed by a little and make it so we can bash people while blocking if they get too close and the bash will do no damage but will knock them back a bit but not too far maybe like 5 meters and increase the movement speed when blocking

R.357:Increase the bodyshot damage to 75 and decrease the headshot multiplier to 1.9 therefore making it 75 × 1.9=142.5 and also decrease the fire rate by a little bit maybe from 140 to 130

Dual blades: add a parry mechanic so it can parry secondary attacks of other melee weapons like the sledgehammers overhead charge but it can't parry the primary attacks of other melee weapons and increase the first swing damage from 50 to 55 and increase the second swing damage from 60 to 65 and lastly increase the final attack damage from 65 to 75 and make it so the final attack can be done faster and increase the movement speed when deflecting by just a little bit

AKM: increase magazine capacity to 34, 35 or 36, the choice is yours on what number you choose

ARN-220: increase the fire rate to 750 rpm, decrease the duration of the tactical reload animation from 2.45s to 2.30s, decrease the duration of the full reload animation from 2.80s to 2.60s

Smoke Grenade: decrease the ammo from 3 to 2, and decrease the cooldown from 50s to 20s

please, please Embark these weapons and gadget need some love

Please please please increase the amount of showtokens earned from games or make them available to be earned through daily missions. It's literal hell trying to unlock anything in the legacy passes at present with the tiny amount we earn by playing.

I've been playing shooters for years. I started with overwatch, I moved to siege and banked 1600 hours, back to overwatch to finish it off, followed by COD, splitgate, halo infinite, the next COD, and so on and so forth. I've been playing FPS games for over a decade, because they're so fun. The finals is no different: I joined season 1 and besides a break in seasons 4-5, I've played 1,2,3,6, and now 7. I can confidently say this:

NEVER HAVE I EVER PLAYED A FIRST PERSON SHOOTER WITH NO KILLCAM

NO KILLCAM

For the love of god. I walk outside of spawn, die instantly, see someone headshot me from across the map. I get on point, die instantly, see it was some combination of mines. I exist, I die instantly, I have ZERO EXPLANATION and ZERO REASON to believe I should be dead, besides the game telling me I am.

Can we please, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, for THE LOVE OF GOD, get some GODFORSAKEN killcams?!?!?!?!?!?! The singular shooting game I've ever played without killcams, and I'm absolutely, positively, with no shadow of a doubt, sick of dying to someone I couldn't even see or register.

Every single FPS on the market these days has a killcam. Every single one. Pick an FPS that has 25k+ active players, and as long as you didn't pick THE FINALS, you'll see a killcam. And yet, after well, WELL over a year, several development changes and meta-flipping patches as far as the eye can see, and not a single person decided that killcams are even necessary, let alone relevant.

It's not that there's an inordinate amount of hackers. I can recognize that 9/10 times I die to someone I didn't see, EVEN WITH NO RELEVANT KILLCAM, they got the kill on me. It's not that I believe people are glitching, or hacking, or doing any sort of thing that isn't condoned in standard play. It's just that I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO IMRPOVE MY POSITIONING IF I CAN'T SEE WHAT I DID WRONG.

[thorn basalt]

Nah remove the throwing knives

[distant vine]

everyone says thanks dusty for telling us a way to make the connection smooth again.

[dusty spire]

Nah, cl first

[hallow wyvern]

All these games you mentioned none of them have a dynamic environment with a real-time destruction system, so implementing killcam for this type of game is soo complicated, because you need to re render the scenes before each change and give the accurate replay and which is going to be so heavy weight for the game servers,

[rancid cloud]

Emerald needs to be more achievable. Requiring at least 50 points per day to even hit 1800 for the first emerald item is unreasonable. 50 points per day for 90 days. That's crazy.

[languid niche]

Would be fun to add a “all lobby” chat. Idk maybe it’ll be too toxic. Also please add a whisper tab with “/w [Player Name]” or just a form to reach out to players that aren’t in your party, thanks!

[frozen ferry]

NETCODE
I'm 100% sure that hitreg and server situation was better in the past.
Since the open beta there were talks about ~120 hz server tick rate and I clearly remember the hitreg being better than many other currently popular FPS titles.

At least for 2 seasons it feels like 15-30hz COD servers. Single fire/burst weapons feel abysmal to use. Sinze the player population gradually fell since the launch have you been pressured to use lower tick servers to cut costs of running the servers? As I understand your servers are more expensive to upkeep because of server side destruction.

Weird thing is that the practice range also runs online but the hitreg there is miles better than in live match. You test your loadouts and stuff there, everything feels smooth and next match online half the shots wont reg.

A blog post explaining your netcode would be nice, lots of great technical people play this game and we can crowdsource ways to make it better is we understand the tech stack better. Maybe run different ticks for environment and players/projectiles if you aren't already.

Absolutely love the game and you deserve the praise for creating something truly original, but lets keep impriving to enjoy this thing for creat years to come! 🙂

[signal basin]

Update after patch S7 :

** General feedback **

I bought the Ultimate BP . To support you guys, really. But to be honest, from my POV, the price is to much high and should be able to buy IG not by bundle. 20€ will be fairer price if you can regain it in the BP.
Looks like your hired someone in charge of monetization from Respawn. I bought it this time. Not sure I will do it every seasons.

New season, but still MMH / HHM META

I WOULD KILL TO SEE YOUR DATA ON LIGHT CLASS & HOW WEAK + UNBALANCED THEY ARE

🎲 For the game 🎲

• Unreal & random crashes still here in S7. More than ever ! I've updated my BIOS because of that
• In pratice game, let us fight between friends
• Why in WT, lose in final round against a tri-stack squad when I'm playing solo ?
• Add "step" in the reload animation so when you climb on something during a reload, it's not completly reset.
• Add a report option " Sabotage " in the report section in game please.
• Let us choose our sight weapons at the beginning of a game
• Delete low gravity event. It's not fun AT ALL
• Random charm list for weapons/gadgets. EDIT : Thanks for the random skin weapons. Can we just choose multiple skins and randomize them for the next step please ?
• 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 banner of friends & recent players.
• **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 & their community to make the game more fun **

**⚖️ For balance ⚖️ **

• REVERT CL40 BUFF. It's destroying the fun in your game
• Revert the nerf of the XP54. What's the point of putting XP at 16 dmg when M11 do the same, faster & with more bullets ?
• Nulifier is just useless. Offer invincibility to the ennemy ? Really ?
  Rework : When you get it by the "Taser" your recoil is increased but you can still move as you want and your take 5 dmg/sec by the electricity. Can hit multiple target like lockbolt.
• You shouldn't be able to right clic sword + dash
• Nerf the CB01-Repeater damage or increase the recoil
• Rework Vanish Bomb. Make it start regen instant. It will increase survability for the Light and it can be use for your teammates too !
• Nerf Turret 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 like Riot Shield.
• Nerf the range of the KS23. You can put 100 dmg at 20m.
• Nerf PIKE to 48 dmg instead of 50 dmg.
• Rework defib: Reduce the cooldown reset to 5s and give 100HP instead of 50% of your HP. It will force Medium to revive safier !
• Rework Sonar : Scan 5 times instead of 3 but if you don't move it can't scan you
• Winch & lockbolt shouldn't do damage. It's strong enough to not make damage
• Try to rework the ARN into a real AR ? Slower RPM but much more DMG. Something like the FCAR / AK for example.

The effort to play Light correctly is too damn high compared to Medium and Heavy. There is no fun at all playing Light.
You're scared of buffing XP or ARN because of cry baby. The class got ONLY 150HP ! REMEMBER ?!
Meanwhile Medium spam with CL40 and Heavy are unkillable with the new heal.

** 🛜 Servers problems 🛜 **

• Improve your netcode / tickrate or I don't know what ! Dying behind cover it's one of the most frustrating thing in The Finals
• Flamethrower and hook should NOT get you through walls, doors and farer than it should be
• Sword, dagger, dualsword or all other melee weapon feels unfair when you think you're out of range and die anyway.

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

[true pollen]

end game, play of the game like overwatch?!

[wind flume]

buff melee

[long burrow]

embark fix chat on ps everything cancel chat dying switching from pov after dying respawning going to stats shit after winning

[dawn finch]

My Hammer is ruined, the hammer was arguably the only melee that was still considered fun, and to add to that; it was a way to fight ruby players with at least little success. the hammer combos made it feel fluid and smooth and the combat was fun. lights had something to fear, mediums had to be cautions and heavies had to specifically deal with you. sledge was a fear tactic and it was justified. there were ways around it of course. a good double barrel with smokes n' dash, mediums that targeted at medium range could kill a hammer with no movement knowledge. probably the overpowered aspects were the use of special abilities in combos. charge n slam to swing death was OP, wench to normal swing and quick melee was OP, goo to swing to quick melee was OP, but to get rid of the combo all together? it was a heavies way of dealing with the light class and now its been gutted. if i was to nerf the hammer, id get rid of the combos involving abilities instead of lessening its damage. give the melees a chance plz. we love your weapons, just let us use them without a caution fun sucking label. i love the fact there are heals now because then at least there is more of a chase and lights can run to their heavies and get heals. lights can insta heal a heavy making it more difficult to kill (which is awesome btw) but i shouldn't be out DPS's by the shak in close quarter. on behalf of all Melee users we ask humbly let us cook. why have melees in the 1st place if its gonna get nerfed into the ground. don't change the damage, change the combos so at least they are harder to pull off.

[jaunty tulip]

Buff sword

[onyx delta]

Can we please get more sights for the Pike?! like we have on almost everything that isn't Melee or a pistol?!

[summer bluff]

Add friendly fire as a gameshow event for wt and qc

[modern terrace]

Plz rework whole controller setting and remove hidden dead zone

[small shadow]

i lost 2k rs for no reason like i had 33.4k in match and i got +0 for 3rd position but when i came i was at 31.4 something ?
i only solo que i report many hacker no one banned and got no point but lost 2k ?
THAT IS INSANE EMBARK

[hardy bison]

hammer nerf was actually skill issue based rip melee

[fading island]

For the love of god just rebuff everything, at this point why tf would I play the finals when your trying to turn it into COD when I could just play COD and not have to deal with your shit servers?

[sterile patrol]

We need a replay system, like in marvel rivals, pub g or fragpunk.. after the game you can go into your game history and rewatch the game from anyone's perspective(you can even download that clip). Replay/demo systems were in quake2 days! It wud make reporting suss players so much easier.
Let's be real, if Devs can't tackle server issues or other basic stuff like match history, MMR, detailed player stats, I think replay or kill cam system will never happen! It's funny that Devs wanna turn this into esport when the game is lacking basic features.

[raven tulip]

The new CNS samurai armor is god, you think that type of skin have a "Swtich" animation on/off, i say for the "Glitching effect" like "Fortnite skins" that can deactivate his auras, etc.

[light zenith]

nah, who needs that

[fringe apex]

FIX YOUR FKING MATCHMAKING. I'm tired as casual player that doens't even touch ranked games, to play against full ruby teams in world tour that is supposed to be casual gamemode

[lapis pelican]

only 4gb

[limpid remnant]

add a red vignette around your screen when somebody is stealing your cashout

[charred ridge]

I'm actually going crazy because of this game if I see one more guy spamming me with a grenade launcher. I'm playing a ranked tournament and 7 out of 9 enemies are using this shit-ass item

[surreal brook]

I'm not really sure how to bring this up, but playing ranked in The Finals doesn’t feel very strategic. Wiped teams just keep rushing the cashout station over and over again until they either manage to wipe you or third-party two other teams and get away with playing recklessly aggressive.

It feels like people are just flipping coins by constantly face-rushing enemies. There's little punishment for getting wiped—they can just keep trying until it eventually works. Meanwhile, a team that successfully defends their cashout in three out of four fights can still end up losing because of one last push by a desperate team that plays with no real plan.

[versed gull]

"You shouldn't be able to right clic [sic.] sword+dash"
?

Sword is already barely usable and that movement tech is the one of the only things keeping it remotely viable against the vast majority of guns. How on earth can you be asking for yet another nerf to an already gutted weapon?

Sword was specifically designed with that mechanic in mind and closing the gap to engage enemies would be literally impossible without the dash combo.

Have you played with sword? Even once? If you had I would suspect that you wouldn't struggle with saying such silly things in the feedback channel.

[kind latch]

Day 3 of asking embark to add recon senses back

[crisp parrot]

Yes but it goes boom boom and some people don't like that

[thick sorrel]

Long term fix for servers is to spend some money for more servers!

It's a joke to play in West EU with people around the world. I had players from russia, africa, arabs and even UK or Scandinavia is not enjoyable to play against because of high pings! Dying around corners wanna make me quit.

[nocturne stirrup]

and lewis gun for sure<3

[winged aurora]

The lag hasn't been toooo bad for me but a lot of people I've played with on the discord have claimed to be lagging and rubberbanding a lot sadly

[sterile canopy]

World tour has weak SBMM, that is kind of the main distinction from ranked. If you played ranked you’d generally get more balanced matches

[rustic tinsel]

revert sword lunge to 140dmg, revert sledge

You literally said,"we’re going to continue to monitor the Sword and explore some alternative changes that might allow us to nudge the lunge damage back up."And yet, nothing?

Is there really any reason to delay?Sword and sledge were fine. They were never meta even before the nerf. They only showed up occasionally in WT and Ranked. Anyone playing just one match could see that.The fact that only a few use these weapons means the weaker players dropped off and only the skilled remain. Of course, skilled players perform well.

There are many examples of games ruined by listening to Reddit, self-proclaimed pros, and scrim groups who follow their own rules, so why are you trying to follow that losing path? Those people don’t help the game at all. If it’s not the weapon they use, they just call it no-skill and whine for nerfs.

Nerf parrots’ arguments don’t make sense. hammer is too strong in melee and needs a nerf? Hammer is supposed to be strong up close. It has to be. If the slowest class comes into melee range, it should be powerful. But now hammer’s left click does 100 dmg? It’s the same damage as the KS you can use from a distance? Does that make any sense balance-wise?
The sword is the same. The DPS of melee is lower than that of guns you can use at range? Light classes only have 150 HP, and melee weapons must get close to deal any dmg.
Sword and hammer are melee. They require high damage output to compete with other weapons in close range.

To be clear,I’m not saying any things need a nerf.
I just want underperforming weapons to actually be usable.
Fix the damage.I’m tired of weapons getting nerfed just because people dislike them(cause skill issue).
You must stop listening to nerf parrots.When something they want nerfed without any real balance reason gets nerfed,they just move on to the next thing to complain about.

[hazy skiff]

Buff sword
Revert hammer
Buff dual blades
Nerf pike

[sonic arrow]

93r,arn and famas are pretty balanced and throwing knives are too given they're projectile, stop complaining and see YOUR mistakes rather than blaming the weapons.

[marble hamlet]

93r is balanced I agree. It's just overshadowed by other weapons

[safe relic]

What happened to the servers this season? Rubberbanding used to be a fairly rare occurrence, but now myself and my friends in different states have both noticed a substantial decline in quality.

[vivid seal]

"nerf dual blades and riot shield"?? really?? it sounds just like you don't know how to counter these weapons, die to them, and then go to complain and whine about them online

[split mist]

Will the game be upgraded to unreal 5,6?

[errant crater]

add the as val to light

https://tenor.com/view/co-dmw-as-val-inspect-gif-22038561

[gray flare]

the cl-40 feels awful to fight against and needs a rework
buff heal beam or at least bring the other healing options in line, right now the fact that its a specialization but can barely keep up with gadgets is fucking ridiculous
also why did yall ruin the arena announcer, he was actually funny and now hes annoying and constantly shouting "that wasnt abc that was xyz" even though the statement in question doesnt even make any damn sense half the time

[tawdry basin]

I have some skin suggestions:
make a skin for a grenade (the sonar would be best) where it’s a can of OSPUZE and instead of pulling the pin you just open it and with the pull tab
2: a skin for the flashbang where it’s a lightbulb
3: a skin for the revolver or the suppressed pistol for light where it’s a water gun
4: a skin for the throwing knives where you’re throwing slippers
5: a skin for the sword or sledgehammer where it’s a metal pipe
6: a skin for the dagger where it’s an old dagger from the medieval ages or something similar
7: a skin for the spear where it’s a medieval spear which has the flag of your choice hanging from it

[leaden shell]

can someone explain to me why heavy needs its own healing gadget? all i see every game is heavies sitting in corners with thie ball shooting minguns and laying down barricades...is this seriously how u want heavy to be playhed rn is this the type of behavior u condone in ur game? idk about anyone else but this addition makes zero since to me if it just intrioduces more camping to the game gotta say embark kinda a dumb mnove on ur part

[naive gust]

This cannot be stressed enough!

[proven crown]

Please add texture/sandblasting to ALL glass. Invisible glass is super frustrating, and I notice it a lot on Fortune Stadium

[hollow badger]

add sights on sa1216

[keen lily]

I have 3,5k wins, most in ranked mode, I just got a random teammate 2 ranks lower with 50 wins on his account, are you joking with this matchmaking Embark? solo queue is unplayable

[round isle]

That’s the game dude. Rush the cash box and defend it when you got it. If you are unable to take the cash in a concerted fell swoop then you are likely going to have to deal with another team coming up from behind you.

@leaden shell yes. Heavy is the most capable of controlling space.

@gray flare cl40 is fine you are just in spots where you are vulnerable. Cl is helpless against target that are above it. Unless they are near a wall you can use for aoe.

[tame vessel]

increase the mag size or fire rate, they could increase the mag size to 50, it's not gonna break the weapon, only a +3 bullet increase

[fair owl]

embark: adds 3 bullets to roulette spinning random light weapon

[tribal latch]

WT is less susceptible to smurfs though, worth noting

[rotund oxide]

I’d like a system where players can give positive feedback about teammates after a match. These endorsements could be used as a matchmaking criterion — helping group more good teammates together.

🟥NERF CL40

🟦NERF HEAL GUN

[sonic arrow]

They already killed off melee...

What will they kill off next?

[unreal blaze]

Embark,

Something needs to be done about the CL-40 Grenade Launcher. The number of players leaving lobbies—both friends and foes, including those with good K/D ratios—along with server issues and even instances of players getting physical at LAN parties, indicates that something has gone seriously wrong with this weapon.

While the damage inflicted on enemy targets by the CL-40 Grenade Launcher is effective, its self-damage mechanism needs to be significantly increased to discourage reckless use in close-quarters combat (CQC). Even non-gamer viewers find it somewhat absurd that the grenade launcher does not inflict enough self-harm on the user in confined spaces, which should clearly highlight the issue.

The CL-40 Grenade Launcher serves a purpose in area denial, and its current damage does well in affecting multiple opponents. However, the self-damage must be substantially increased to prevent it from overshadowing many of the non-meta, high-skill ceiling weapons in CQC range.

[thorny iron]

When that feedback popup window occur, add there poor connection option negative side and free word to both.

[torn canyon]

I really hope Embark either increases the amount of Show Tokens we get or lowers the amount needed to unlock rewards in the Legacy Battle Pass. Right now, it feels like we only get about 1 token per match, but the number of tokens needed for the Legacy Pass is just way too high. For newbies or returning players, it takes way too much time to get anything from it. I really hope Embark does something

[white spade]

This deserves a dedicated thread. Bravo to you sir!

[inland thistle]

2 Big Ideas I’ve had for awhile, particularly for ranked but kind of overall.

First:
I think you should be able to spend respawn tokens on class changes in ranked. It gives you the opportunity to counter something on an enemy team, but at the cost of a potential respawn that could be critical for your team.

Second:
I think starting a steal should stop a Cashout from disappearing. 7 seconds is a long time, and everyone who knows how the game works knows the last 6 seconds of a game/cashout don’t matter at all as long as no one has started a steal.

I think if stealing stops the box from leaving, it makes things a lot more intense. You have to really question if it’s safe to leave your cashout early, and it would make the last few seconds of the game far more intense and unpredictable.!

[peak wagon]

Fix the sword back to OG damage

[winter laurel]

Nerf Med GL. That is all.

[cerulean birch]

Double flame thrower damage and range

[faint saddle]

Yeah would be SOOOO fun to play against tripple medium playing glitch traps and cl just cause I teamwiped them once in a 1v3 enable more counter make the game hard counter and swap only

[frigid cloak]

That's a lot of good suggestions I think, but I'd change a few points.
Balance

• The taser/nullifier has it's use right now, it's just different and more niche. You can reliably stop steals, save yourself when you're being chased and on low hp. Can force a 3v2 or 2v1 for a few moments, when full sending, and for me it saved my team many times.
• CL40 I think it shouldn't explode on impact, just like MGL is. MGL has never been a real problem, and accounting for the bounce it takes much more skill to use it correctly. I think that would be the best change for it.
• Melee should probably belong to a dedicated game mode. No matter how you balance them, they'll always feel too bad or too good, and even when balanced decently they'll cause frustration in a shooting game.
• I think defib is fine the way it is, maybe reducing the cooldown of the gadget and forcing the player to use the defib on the statue for 1 or 2 seconds will force safer positioning a bit better. (this could include a slight buff to res HP to 60%)
• Winch should remove the stun effect, so you can shoot while being winched, that's more impactful than the 5 dmg it does. It's too easy to winch someone and blast them with a shotgun for a free kill.
• Lockbolt, it has way too much HP, the small tick damage isn't an issue, the issue is that without glitch grenade it's too hard to counter. Or make it like gravity charge, where if you walk out of range for some time the lock breaks after slowing you down at the edge of radius.

Most of the other suggestions are incredibly solid and grounded. From game / quality of life to, network and balancing.
Lastly, you're right, Light is the hardest class to play correctly. The smaller hitbox and higher mobility 90% of the time doesn't make up for such a small health pool, I think the reason some of the playerbase complaint is because since Light has a high skill ceiling as a class some of the best players play that class.
I played the game since Alpha and Mained H up until Season 2 then M for 2 Seasons and now I mained L for 2 season, and H has been the easiest and most oppressive class to play since before the game released.
At this point I think Medium and Heavy should have a damage nerf across all weapons and make health regen with the same speed as Light to counter balance it.
As people learned how to play the game and don't miss shot as much TTK on Light is way to quick compared to other classes, making it that you will never win a fair 1v1 with a similar weapon (AR, SMG, etc.) so you're always pushed to play off angles and leave your team alone hoping that they won't be wiped before you can provide some value.

[sleek topaz]

Ehmm "we’re going to continue to monitor the Sword and explore some alternative changes that might allow us to nudge the lunge damage back up"

[exotic anvil]

Damn, I seriously wonder how many more weapons need to get nerfed before these clowns finally stop crying about it. Are you seriously gonna nerf everything until melee is the most busted thing in the game?
The only reason CL-40 is strong right now is because it dodged all the nerfs. Don’t touch CL-40. Buff the rest. This whole “just nerf whatever is strong” approach is exactly why people are quitting this game left and right.

[quartz pawn]

Chuck skin ?

[tribal spoke]

Please remove the dual blades combo and replace it with 63/62.5 DMG slashes

[pallid tangle]

Buff light's hp to 350.

[hazy shore]

people quit this game left and right because balance takes weeks or months, they balance things that didnt need balancing and just needed players to actually think (the sword), and they havent put out a new spec since the winch claw (about a year ago). the finals is basically just a way for embark to make money for their next titles with skin sales at this point. @nova osprey funny the guy who is really excited for arc raiders thinks this is a bad take lmao

[signal basin]

First polite and respectfull answer I ever got here and make me use my 4 hours post. Thanks.

[severe geyser]

the matchmaking system is so bad too the point that i keep getting the same teammates in ranked. like are u guys intentionally queueing solo players on duo or 3stack teams then jsut give us a match where i just play with random teammates (but i get the same teammates everytime?!?) like seriously getting hardstuck at platinum then just getting absurdly high losses in RP.. - Asia SV

[atomic crow]

MGL buff idea:
keep the single bounce before explosion but allow the player to hold the fire button to and release to explode the grenade.
if the player presses without holding it will act normally.
if the player presses and holds it will act normally until the player releases the press which will cause the shot to explode on the spot

[nova osprey]

This is a shit take ngl. The game doesn’t need new specializations all the time, and yes balancing takes forever but that’s no reason to quit the game. Calling this game just a money grab is a shit take based on really no prior information

[low plover]

Protocol 3 - Progress is heaven like, never stop making bangers like thisssss that is an orderrrrrr!!!!!!

[zealous pine]

cl-40 i can agree it should get nerfed
xp-54 should not get buffed as its fine as it is rn its in a good spot
nullifier isnt useless its just like the taser but it makes it soo you can focus on somebody else unlike the taser which was a free kill
right dash and sword makes the sword viable
cb01 doesnt need a nerf its balanced imo
vanish bomb doesnt need regen as we got many healing items this season and healing pods
turret range i can agree on as its one of the annoying thins abt the turret
why does dual blade need an nerf for range blocking it still does damage but alot less
the range of the ks-23 doesnt need an nerf bc the shotgun uses slugs which is an far range shell
idk abt pike i havent seen it or played it
i find defib balanced enough you could kill the player easily and it doesnt even have gadgets to use
sonar is a good idea
winch and lockbolt what would a 5 damage difference make?
i find the arn idea an okay idea
long story short you want to buff light more and M and H get nerfed

[mild wave]

Make us able to select favorite skins for the guns skin randomizer, maybe we wanna play with one specific set of skins and not our entire skin inventory.

Embark create a new color or I will sit down.

[dire herald]

Why does PlayStation Plus have completely exclusive skins, but the Xbox subscription doesn't?

I'd like to get those skins and pay for the full set just like I bought the rest of the sets, but I hate Sony. I don't like their consoles, and the fact that such good skins are only for them annoys me. Will they ever add them to the store, even if it's just a 10 or 20 euro set?

[gilded estuary]

increase CL40 self damage

[remote blade]

fr im only hating being against cl40 now cause they nerfed my melee as a light when i had sword at 140 the ennemi couldn t just shot at his feet as much cause he would blow up too now if i miss a swing i die and he just walks its off i still think cl40 should get more splash to the user but thats cause i play light and cl40 counters light also stop nerfing melee weapons melee is supposed to hit hard because for a melee to be effective they have to french kiss the ennemi if u let a melee user get close when u have a guns that a you issue specialy the sledge now i see a sledge it is just a ez target before when i attacked him with sword i had to be carefull time my dash lunge right, now i can just full send into him cause he can t 1 tap combo me where is the pressure where is intensity where is the risk now a sledge doesn t fell opressive he just looks silly

[hidden sand]

No, just git gud

[errant oar]

Could you please tell me what the problem is? I added a friend via a referral link, but on the Embark website it doesn’t show that I added him. Also, in the game, I added the friend, played one match with him, but I still can’t add him to the recruiting. Why? Does anyone know?

Being in silver lobby against plat / diamond team, losing 800 because the game is not even considered "difficult", what a great feeling 🙂

[misty rock]

The season started with 92 days. 50*92=4,600.
Reaching Emerald 1 is 2,400 points. 2,400/92=26.09 WP/day.
If you were starting from 0 today it would be 2,400/82=29.3 WP/day.
If you're just talking about hitting Emerald 4, that's only 1800 WP, so 1800/92=19.6 WP/day.

Where are you getting 50 Win Points needed a day?

If you average 6 WP per tournament you play, it would take you 400 games. That's 4.4 tournaments per day in a 90 day season.
If you only play half of the days in a 90 day season (45), that's 8.9 tournaments per day you play.
If you only play on Saturday and Sunday, that's roughly 26 days in a 90 day season, that's 15 tournaments per day you play.

That doesn't seem overly grindy for something that's supposed to be a higher tier reward, to me at least. If you can only play for 28% of the season (weekends only) you have to grind out tournaments for the 2nd highest tier of seasonal rewards.
If you're really good and can average more than 6 WP/tournament, it takes way less games.

[light zenith]

Damn, my man cooked hard

[quartz dirge]

its very obvious embark has no clue what theyre doing for this game

[limber bluff]

rework winch claw so weapons that are strong point blank (sledge, sa, ks) can be strong without being op with winch present

[quick coyote]

i think they should add a cashout box in the practise arena to practise different skills and to add more things to do in the practise arena

If someone leaves world tour I should be allowed to leave IMMEDIATELY after, people leave games all the time and reconnect so they don't face punishment, meanwhile my game is completely screwed over

[rough monolith]

Fix the mmr, im getting ruby's in my world tour queues

[thick cliff]

Fix the fucking game stupid bugs is this game has 2 devs or what
Im playing today there is a bug im on console when i cant run u just keep walking there is no solution until u die or keave the game
A bug from season 1 and this one too how tf is not fixed the other bug is reloading gun animation keep repeating without being able to shoot are this really how people gonna play esports such a shame doing everything but fixing the godamn game

[marsh nexus]

No sprint bug is so atrocious idk how it’s been in this long

[scenic imp]

1. Low Gravity – Reduce intensity.
2. Ranked – Late double plugs (32k) often decide the match unfairly. Buff early cashouts (1-4) or reduce value of final ones (5-6).
   – let high MMR players (Diamond/Ruby) start directly in semifinals. This reduces lobby size requirements to 12 players (4 teams) instead of 24. It also ensures more fair and competitive matches without forcing top players to stomp weaker lobbies.
3. Map Design - Seoul (Clinic): Bridge breaks too easily, hard to retake and easy to defend. Monaco (Plaza): Exposed spawn, no cover. Improve cover & balance vaults.

Thanks.

[rustic tinsel]

Do you even know what you mean by “increased usage”? It means everything else that was actually usable has been nerfed.It’s not like it just became OP and people started using it.
Stop fxxking nerf. You’re patching the game straight into the ground.

Even Reddit, a place that doesn't understand anything about game balance, is calling out the recent Sledge nerf.
That alone should be enough to tell you how terrible this patch was.

The only useful thing about the Sledge nerf is that it finally helped 'most people with basic human reasoning' realize how absurd the Sword damage nerf was.
Anyone who has tried using the Hammer after this patch knows it's completely trash now.
And that's exactly what happened to the Sword.

I’ve been saying this the whole time. Nerfing melee damage is the same as saying “don’t use it.”
Sword and hammer are melee weapon. It requires some form of high dmg output in order to compete with other weapons in close range.

I just want to clarify, I am not saying any of the weapons needs nerf. Others do what they are intended to do.
I just want MELEE weapon to actually be USABLE.
Fix the damage. Im tired of weapons getting nerfed simply because people dislike it(cause skill issue).

Yours literlly said,"we’re going to continue to monitor the Sword and explore some alternative changes that might allow us to nudge the lunge damage back up".And yet, there’s been zero follow-up. No balancing, no communication, nothing.
So the sword gets ignored for an entire season, and now you're targeting the sledge hammer instead?

Frankly, it’s getting harder to believe anything written in the developer notes. At this point, it feels like empty PR talk meant to placate players without any real intention of following through.

You must stop listening to nerf parrots.There’s no end to the nerf parrots’ whining. When something they wanted nerfed without any real balance reason(dislike cause skill issue) gets nerfed, they just move on to whine about the next thing.

THE CL-40 is so cancer
Like how is something with range doing more damage then melee on-top of allowing them to 60% of the time spam their feet and live. Like i’m sorry but getting one tapped by a cl-40 after landing a crit sword hit and them just walking it off and keep spamming is ridiculous. Like ether give us wear able ad suits or nerf it. Like there is no other weapon in the game that can damage a whole team the same as the cl-40.
Like its shit like that that i saw the cl-40 should be nerfed or moved to a light class. Because at that point once i land my hit and he blows us both up at-least he died too not go on to kill 5 more people before hes eliminated.
Like honestly embark show us the pick rate of weapons rn because i want to see how high the cl-40 is being you see like 3 every match.
Like let me put it this way. 2days ago i was 2k eliminations below positive. Started using the cl-40 i’m only 800 below now 🤣

[untold cypress]

I'm more razzeled that the servers are nearly unplayable. I've been knocked out W/T twice today caused by server stability. Freezing in place/weapon reloading over & over & over🫠

[rustic vault]

Yeah the CL40 spam is awful, don’t understand how people are defending it, you’re pretty much only safe as a heavy and even then if you are playing bigger team modes like PS or TDM, where there are usually more than 1 on a team it is too much, and eventually the entire lobby is running CL40s because they may as well. Every game is a headache of explosions and noobtubes being fired at feet with no repercussions, especially now with the extra healing. It feels rubbish and cheap to kill with, don’t feel I deserve any of eliminations because it just feels like cheating that I can spam at the floor or in the general direction of a light and medium and kill them.

[dense gulch]

I only play medium. I have almost 200 hours of play time. I would like to see a future nerf to the Defi, maybe to reduce the health of the people that u defi or to have a longer animation to defi people. I think that in the state of the defi right now is a always pick gadget for medium players

[ruby dew]

BUFF SOWRD! BUFF DAGGER!! BUFF SLEDGEHAMMER!!! SAVE MELE!!!!

i think melee weapons should be in a advantage in a melee range

[fleet heron]

Please add gradual zoom ads sensitivity transition
Now it's instant and almost unplayable with sniper rifle

I have 25% scoped zoom multiplier and it feels natural. But i can't ads while moving mouse, because sens changes instatly by 4 times.
Please please please. COD have this option for example

[digital shoal]

No no no. Please don't nerf defib anymore than it already has been. It will be useless.

[marble creek]

Yeah I'll be honest, 3 medium nade launcher is way too oppressive, there is absolutely no counter to massive splash damage from impact nade spam. Why can't the launcher act like the heavy one and have to bounce before it explodes? Who designed this actual cancerous weapon?

[sonic spoke]

They have the wall that you can throw the box into the holes.
@dense gulch your 200 hours is showing. You should have been here when it was instant and full health.

[wooden atlas]

I think the suggestion someone made of defibs casting from hit points (that is, you sacrifice some of your HP to instant-res the other person) is a pretty sound balance idea. This way Defibs retain their inherent and intended benefits (and maybe we can even get rid of defib sickness) but are also inherently risky to use, so the defib user has to think twice before using them. IMO if Defibs should punish anyone, it should be the user, not the revived player

[covert pagoda]

So for WT, Opening Week and this week are the same. Two weeks from now it'll be another opening week, and so will the first week of the next two tours in WT. The map pool includes all maps now, so besides matchmaking, what is the difference (or what is the point) of WT or Ranked? They are both sweaty af, both cash out and both a grind. I've personally had this issue with WT since its launch, and I play almost every day, but I've never gotten emerald or ruby because it's just too grindy. Sure it'll be a bit faster this season but not enough substance is there to justify WT being a thing without taking away from Ranked or Quick Play. Probably a hot take, but WT is easily my least favorite part of the game.

[brazen thorn]

I feel like ranked lose penalty is too big especially with randoms there is no way you will win 75%+ of first rounds to climb

[ebon slate]

man this game is so freaking hard

[severe inlet]

Buff sword

[spare rapids]

Can we get a javelin for heavy that works similar to throwing knives. Left click is a regular throw, but right click is a "hold to charge" throw, that can push players off ledges or stick them to walls if they are close enough. 🙏

[coral axle]

lag spike are still happening, and mirco stutters are still present after season 7 release smh

[faint saddle]

Buff dagger

[tame vessel]

Here is a list of weapons that need to be buffed but not make them meta in the next balance patch

Spear: increase the basic attack damage combo to 70, 80, 95 and increase the spin attack damage to either 120 or 130

KS-23: increase the projectile speed to 500m/s and decrease the fire rate to 73 RPM and increase the player damage to 120

Riot shield: increase the swing speed by a little and make it so we can bash people while blocking if they get too close and the bash will do no damage but will knock them back a bit but not too far maybe like 5 meters and increase the movement speed when blocking

R.357:Increase the bodyshot damage to 75 and decrease the headshot multiplier to 1.9 therefore making it 75 × 1.9=142.5 and also decrease the fire rate by a little bit maybe from 140 to 130

Dual blades: add a parry mechanic so it can parry secondary attacks of other melee weapons like the sledgehammers overhead charge but it can't parry the primary attacks of other melee weapons and increase the first swing damage from 50 to 55 and increase the second swing damage from 60 to 65 and lastly increase the final attack damage from 65 to 75 and make it so the final attack can be done faster and increase the movement speed when deflecting by just a little bit

AKM: increase magazine capacity to 34, 35 or 36, the choice is yours on what number you choose

ARN-220: increase the fire rate to 750 rpm, decrease the duration of the tactical reload animation from 2.45s to 2.30s, decrease the duration of the full reload animation from 2.80s to 2.60s

Smoke Grenade: decrease the ammo from 3 to 2, and decrease the cooldown from 50s to 20s

please, please Embark these weapons and gadget need some love
Hopefully someone at Embark sees this, these emojis will highlight the message so you can see them 🥇:🤠🤯😵:⚽️:grinning:😆🙃😇🫠

[solid spindle]

been saying this for so long. I know it wont be the best way to determine skill but placing players with similar traits such as kills, wins etc will create a far better match that is fair.
If person A has 90K kills over a 1 year period and person B has 4K kills over a 1 year period its obvious person A spends a lot more time playing the game than person B who takes it more like a casual game because they have a life outside of a pc screen.

[summer elk]

With the new steam chart, I can finally see how DIPPY the FPS is in THE FINALS

[pseudo latch]

shit man, flamer doesn’t do anything better than something else.

Damage? It’s terrible, blown out of the water by every shotgun and melee except for M2 spam sledgehammer.

AoE damage grenade launchers clear it in range and DPS, and the spear sacrifices a half meter of range for twice the damage output.

Point defence? Not better than the SA12’s mobility, Miniguns sheer damage output, or either guns point blank burst.

You can’t even say it’s good for burning shit anymore because that gimmick has been appropriated, rebranded, and significantly improved through the existence of the Cerberus.

So I am seriously askin, what the fuck does the flamer even have that other weapons don’t do better? And if we can’t find anything why the fuck have we gone over a year without buffing it?

It's insane how many matches even in casual i get put in a bot team, There's 3 guys here right now in Powershift 1 - 5 / 0 - 4/ 0-9????? meanwhile the other team only has club players and decent kills??? This has been happening all week.. I truely feel like i get put into these ''bot'' teams on purpose..

[fading cobalt]

Nerf winch, buff sledge.
Peoples issues with sledge, the reason they were winning in both ranked and casual, is the winch.
The winch gets sent out, floats there for a second and if you walk into it, you get pulled. Then the pull cancels any attack, and usually if there is any desync or something, the winch will end, but you still can't use gadgets, or attack or anything. This was the issue with it.
So make winch just miss if it misses, if you missed, too bad, walking into it doesnt pull you anymore.
And make it so that it either doesnt cancel attacks at all, or at least if within like 3 meters it doesnt cancel them, because it is super unsatisfying to be about to hit a heavy and then the winch cancelling it when its almost about to deal damage.
And also let people get control like a second before the winch ends, that way if there is desync, they can still fight it.

As for sledge, let the left click do at minimum 110 that way dash lights can be combatted.
And for right click, make it at least 175, I know the reason you chose 154 was so that a double right click quick attack doesnt work, but thats outright stupid.
The slowest combo pre nerf was the double right click, so why go even further and not even let a quick attack finish it off on top of it, leaving them with 2hp, its outright illogical.
In an ideal world for me, all of the combos are possible again because they take skill, it raised the skill ceiling, the quick attack has barely any range and lingers for very few frames so to use a combo required some knowledge of how the weapon works.

[gloomy cradle]

Been sayin this. You can nerf the player being revived all you want, but all that does is punish the person being revived (so many people want the ability to deny a revive for a reason). Until you start punishing the person actually using the defib, an instant revive ability will ALWAYS be super powerful no matter what you do to the cooldowns

[leaden tangle]

+50 meters, that's how far it took a single minigun-wielding heavies to kill my entire team. What the hell with that weapon? Some guy took the heights on Nozomi/Citadel and obliterated us in half a minute. I like that the minigun is really strong, but a damn damage reduction wouldn't hurt. It's either that or the damn player we were paired with was a cheater with an aimbot, because I saw him track my teammate through walls exactly where he was traveling, at a damn 50 meters high.

Hi Embark, looks like Sony is willing to open the Gyro recalibration settings to game apps. It’d be greatly appreciated if you can patch this in for consoles

Secondly, I miss the count down sounds towards gameshow events. The count down adds to the gameshow feel a lot, and I personally have a harder time noticing incoming events without it.

Embark please take notes ^ this is what the people want. The people also want to give u $$$ for those juicy Sledge skins but I've been told there's a boycott and ur currently missing out on PROFIT🤑 bc of ur silly decisions with Sledge

[blazing rover]

What the point on game feedback if they don't fix it again camouflage need to have one time use not constantly spam all wepones need a rework there no way I get one shot by a sniper that use a small caliber.

The heath ball needs to be removed many people use it and camp with it none stop the mini gun is now pointless cuz the amount of heath balls .

Shot guns and grenade launchers need to gave different ammo types not just one and only pick one gear to make the game fair .

Add secondary wepones I'm tired of having one wepone choose not only that fix damaged to players there no way someone can survive having a whole mini gun drum dump on them and there still alive .

Assault rifles need to need to have damaged reduced and stop adding unwanted and unfair gear we want wepones not something that makes the game more unfair.

Wepone suggesting add the MG42 as a heavy wepone with a mag of 250 the mini gun needs to have a bigger drum mag like a 250 or 300 not only that put a over heat system if the drum is to big .

Battle pass for the free stuff make it 100 not 75 money that's not enough to get things form the shop nor get the next pass .

Maps also need a redo there do many camping spots that you can't stop not only that turrets need to have three heath bars to make it far and only two can be put down .

I had a game where the whole team just used it constantly how do u expect people to enjoy your game when it's always the try hards gets a upgrad not the people who want a casual game .

RPGs need to have two rockets not one how do yall expect people to play when most of what we say goes unheard we don't want gear that makes the game unfair we want wepones,skins maybe a new class

So why are we trying to increase the prices of weapon animations over time?

They went from costing 150 mb for each anim (EPIC RARITY) which was fairly reasonable. Then the price got increased to 200 mb (EPIC RARITY) for more recent anim bundles.

With the introduction of "VI Rifle Moves" and "Shell Games Set", (EPIC) animations are now costing 100 mb more. This was not as noticeable with the VI Rifle Moves bundle as it only costed 100 mb more than the usual 400 mb at the start

With this new practice, the "Shell Games Set" is sitting at 750 mb which is 350 more than the first set of (EPIC RARITY) animations we were given first. Note that these are all EPIC RARITY and they aren't even that appealing.

This (EPIC RARITY) SA1216 bundle costs 50 mb than the average Legendary SA1216 skin, think about that.

Sledge honestly feels better than it ever has, more consistent hits, enemies think i'm weak so they chal me and lose. Ball?!? W. I think possibly Rob could reduce my total dps by other 40% and i'd still be fine.

Embark your servers are fucked, this is the worst they have ever been since season 1. I had no idea they could be worse but having 5 seconds of lag every 1-2 minutes makes the game unplayable

[chilly swift]

servers are so bad right now

[indigo breach]

THERE IS CONSTANT FREEZING OF THE ENTIRE LOBBY EVERY MATCH AT LEAST ONCE A MATCH. PLEASE AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE IT. YOU GUYS HAVE ONLY MENTIONED SETTING YOUR PREFFERRED REGION WHICH DOES NOTHING TO IMPROVE SERVERS FREEZING FOR MULTIPLE SECONDS AT A TIME.

[proven crown]

Triple light only event would be sick.

Also PLEASE remove moving platform from ranked. With ping the physics are cancer

[feral shard]

Day 25 requesting a Coin toss emote (only with "The Finals" icon, not a head or tails emote)

It will be a hand emote for the left hand (As every other hand emote) which tosses a coin (With a very satisfaction sound effect, like the ULTRAKILL's one) and then grab it in the air and the emote finishes

It would be so cool since, the enemies get coined, it would be a very gentle but cool flex

Hope Embark takes note of this, we need it in the game, I would pay for it

(Also, please add more hand emotes, I love them)

[broken crest]

Dear EMBARK TEAMDear EMBARK TEAM I have one thing to say about your patchotes we real the last patchotes are right against Mele Weapons properly shit I see no one wants the weapons that the weapons are generated as Z. Dagger or Hammer and Sword (except Appoh) But they do it anyway they only lose your players because that annoys. That's why I ask you to BUFF the weapons again especially hammer and sword in the next UPDATE thank you

[fading island]

I am once again offering customized feet picks for the whole Embark team If you spend a single patch buffing the least used weapons and gadgets from each class. No nerfs just buffs for a single patch. Do this and these saucy feet pics can be yours.

[restive sail]

The fact that the servers haven’t been fixed yet is actually insane.

[rotund gust]

please add effects customisation option Embark. This will make new mythic skins better!

[quick coyote]

Not sure since these came out way before the Mythic update and since they're battle pass (Though Legacy Battle Pass is now a thing) but maybe these could be turned into mythics since they all have unique models, reloads, inspects and even sound?
(I forgot about others like the DIY DYNAMO defibrillator skin from S2).

[full scarab]

Feedback: add option to turn off auto-calibration of the gyro aim. (PS5 SDK update now allows for this)

[woven quest]

⚠️ Serious server issues are still present. ⚠️

[median bloom]

Ranked has a serious problem.. this has happned 4 times at least in past 3 days. Just finished a game round 1 we do great finish first. Second round our 3rd drops? leaves the game? It dont matter really what happened and we get 4th and you now doc me - ranked points due to a random team8 leaving or dropping out. That is beyond ridicules especially how much you take away.. sorry to compare this to cod but this how bad and broken this is right now. In cod ranked if a random not from your party leaves game disconects those players are skill point proteched.. becasue its not there fault. Seems like a very easy and common sense thing that could be fixed. And needs to be a priority for your ranked system. Common sense really.

[hardy bison]

theres little bug where when you get defib your gun shows up before you spawn, like the gun in your screen

This Healing Emitter and APS/Turret combo is ruining Powershift. This needs to be addressed asap!

[sacred siren]

fix the servers bro they're complete dogshit

[grand crow]

Loving the new season! H+ is so much fun I'm basically turning into a healbot. It's crazy op though, so I'd kind of like it if healing was halved and uptime was brought more in line the heal beam.

[trail moss]

Get gud.

[proud skiff]

NERF sawed off shotgun it is broken and cheese

[cursive warren]

For the love of god can u fix your damn servers? a week and a half and we still got freeze seconds

[acoustic urchin]

IM STILL FREEZING MID GAME AND I KNOW ITS NOT A ME ISSUE

[rough storm]

Literally unplayable cuz of CL. Nothing learned of season 5. Good job

[frozen tree]

I played one game today and froze 3 times. I also have been experiencing performance issues. Please fix these. Also buff melee!

[robust pagoda]

Not only the servers are on fire, and hit reg hit the shitter, but also there is 0.7 sec of delay between even a hit marker pop up including its SFX and VFX

[small marlin]

Is anyone know how to fix TFAV8005 and TFGE0027?

[drifting isle]

the massive lag spikes affecting whole teams is so bad

[rustic tinsel]

The current approach to nerfs is going too far. Everything is getting weaker. Stop nerf.Just buff underperforming and unfairly nerfed things. Nerf parrots never stop. When something gets nerfed, they whine to nerf something else.

If you keep listening to people who ask for nerfs not because something is op,but just because it annoys them(cause skill issue), of course the game will fall apart.

If the Sword’s lunge doesn’t go back to 140 dmg,it’s just useless.If it’s under 140,you can’t use it against Medium or Heavy at all.Right now, can't even use it against Light.That value was calculated and made sense in terms of balance.

Everyone knows Dagger,Sword and all melee get countered by Light.But you nerfed Sword while pretending it was for the sake of Lights, even though it was obviously done to benefit Mediums.
Medium has the highest pick rate and top performance in WT and ranked.There’s a reason people started saying “The Mediums”.
Heavy is still powerful at close range,so melee isn’t even a threat to them.

Medium has tons of tools to counter melee: turrets, mines, goo grenade, glitch trap, dematerializer, jump pad, zip line, proximity sensor, and a bunch of weapons. And still,these skill-issue players cry for nerfs to melee and weak wepon even though they already have all those tools.They just can’t handle melee because of a skill issue.
I play all class,melee was never a problem when I played Medium or Heavy(not to mention Light).But because of these dumb whining, stuff that wasn’t even meta got nerfed.That’s how you ruin patches.

About Double Barrel,you nerfed it, then reverted it.Because Light has low HP, so it needs to have high DPS. DB is only viable up close, and it needs to 2-tap Heavy.That balance was correct, so reverted.
The same goes for Sword.Nerfing melee dmg is saying “don’t use it.”It’s the same mistake as with DB. Sword was built around close-range and low health.it required specific damage combinations for each classes.so lunge was 140.

[broken plume]

I dont want to seem like a whiner but Im going to be entirely honest, the lag has actually pushed me and my friend off the game today
I think we genuienly need some optimization or server fixes because I used to think it was a me issue for trying to run the game on a mid range PC but at this point with everyone also having lag issues I think its a game issue. I love this game with all my heart, its by far my favorite FPS since Season 1 but I desperately need this lag fixed or I literally cannot bring myself to play as much as I have
(I am aware there is new fixes coming but Im trying to put emphasis on how bad it has gotten)

[midnight aurora]

make it so invis needs to decloak before firing the constant db invis lights shooting you out of nowhere are getting annoying

[sand remnant]

This game from season to season has went so far down unlike any game I have ever seen. Went from one of the best games I have to played to slowly being the worst. Fix your shit. how does a team with all GL's in rank with three turrets and aps. So broken losing the fun in it!

[pliant lichen]

The level 11 skins for prestiging look like they have been bleached in the sun. There is no way they're supposed to look that washed out right..? Like this has to be a colour or lighting error. It genuinely looks like the texture is broken. The cloud skin for level 10 looked eye-catching and vibrant, what is going on with the level 11 colours..?

[worn oracle]

I think the sword need more nerf

[half briar]

What an absolute fall from grace powershift has had since season 2. Just completely unplayable unless you want to mess around with weapons you don't normally play, or if you want to be annoying. It's an afterthought game mode that has only become worse as everything is tuned more for cash outs. Either scrap it, rework it, or limit the weapons/gadgets allowed in it.

[dusky ginkgo]

bad server where do I put the bad server numbers: D3453-TN8XF-PGST2

[sonic spoke]

CL40 need more self damage

[shell berry]

you can use glitch grenades to stun the gadgets, and even use cloak to get by and take out your opponents while off-guard

now for my actual feedback

this is a very great game in all aspects but the one thing i think it's missing is DYNAMIC MUSIC, where it plays songs from your selected playlists as things happen

(example, if someone has s2 ost selected as their only playlist, the more chill tracks will play when there isn't much going on nearby, but it'll switch to the intense tracks when chaos or conflict starts happening while the player is near it or in it, a example of the non-conflict tracks for s2 ost could be CeratopSID, FloatingBits, SpaceCube50, and WAREz, while the conflict tracks could be FreeDoom, MegaUltraHeavy, and SyntaxCNS)

[hallow epoch]

We need more guns am tired of the same guns, heavy: m249 saw and Beowulf 50 cal assault riffle Medium: Ar 15 and conversion kit for smg hybrid light has a good diversity for now
We need weapon buffs to make em compete better with other guns in class the m60 needs a buff to its damage range and 1 point damage increase the ak needs it's bullets back or give it 1 point more damage or increase fire rate give it something

[spiral comet]

Buff servers

[minor notch]

embark pls stop mining bitcoin on the servers i want to actually play the game

Yes please embark and dont have the slashes slow you down

add ranked power shift, it would be so fun trust.

[nimble gale]

Server issues are killing the enjoyment of the game, better be 24/7 on this matter

[verbal steppe]

Low gravity is the worst event, and I daresay the worst thing about this game rn. The amount of times I have died purely because a slight bit of movement results in me just floating in the air for ten seconds is nightmarish.

And yes, I did just lose a game because of it, and yes, I am using that as fuel.

[pseudo latch]

FLAMETHROWER REWORK SUGGESTION

Flamethrower has been vastly underperforming for seasons, and considering the weapon is almost identical to the weapon it was back in OB, its about time for it to recieve some major changes.

• Increase its range back to 10 meters: Same range as open beta, its pretty much the only thing it hasnt gotten back.
• Increase overall DPS by 10: This will still leave it doing much less damage than most weapons, but at least it will be killing a medium faster than 3 seconds.
• Rework the "ADS" into an Alternate fire:
  - Alt Fire launches a fireball projectile that detonates on impact. Does 70 on a direct hit, trickles off to 30 damage at minimum range. AoE of 3 meters. Costs 5 Ammo to fire, RoF of about 90 RPM. Projectile is about as heavy as current Anti Grav Cube (no "sniping" people with fireballs)
  This would give Flamer a bit more utility and viability at range, without completely invalidating its primary fire.

SPEAR REWORK SUGGESTION

Spear as it stands just isnt working. The spin is a fun idea but its too high commitment, and far too easily punished or whiffed. Its a fun idea but it needs to go.

• Alt fire is replaced by a spear throw:
  -upon alt fire, Heavy "charges" a spear throw (similar to how TK alt fire works) allowing them to throw a 100 damage spear projectile, with the same weight and speed of a CL40 grenade.
  This gives spear some utility no other melee can claim, allowing heavy to follow up kills that would otherwise get away from him. Though the DPS would obviously be rather low to punish spamming.

KS-23 REWORK SUGGESTION

The KS23 has been in a sore spot since its addition, what little times its stood in the spotlight very swiftly nerfed out of existence, and in the state its in, its been very cruelly power crept out in lieu of other, more reliable close range options like the KS23 and the minigun. More than anything its main gimmick of being an accuracy weapon that isnt perfectly accurate has lead to it having significant issues, and i think more than anything, that needs to go.

• Primary fire has been changed from a single projectile to a ten pellet spread. Triangular "ten pin bowling" arrangement.
• Each pellet does 10 damage each, and 100 structural each. (maybe 11-12 each but i know we want to avoid QM "kill combos, though my opinion on that is we should just let lights die fast)
• Reload now uses the "double shell" animation regardless of if the weapon has been emptied or not: speeds up general reload time when weapon isnt emptied

This change would give the weapon more reliable consistency in combat without sacrificing its main gimmick of destruction.

[bold ocean]

Having a bug where putting an optic on a weapon, it saying its attached to said weapon, and then going into a match with said weapon and it being the default sight. Please fix

[restive robin]

This, it's like actually unplayable entirely
