**BUFF SWORD
BUFF SLEDGEHAMMER
BUFF DAGGER

SAVE MELE!**

Ban kids like @daring harness from CoD Community destroying this game.

[untold hazel]

in 5 days the event rewards from blast off

[daring harness]

Nerf sword
Nerf sledge
Nerf dagger
Destroy melee

[stiff egret]

can we get duo's... that would be the best

[feral shard]

Day 36 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)

[upper citrus]

this is shitty and annoying for a limited time reward

[twilit kite]

the new destruction make the buildings sort of crumble like sugar towers imo. It makes it hard to climb on or play around now that everything feels much more friable. Since the last update i feel like i had to play around stacks and stacks of debris. Especially on powershift.

Maybe revisit it ?

[rotund rapids]

Can we not make the cashout icon eclipse EVERYTHING around it, why is it scaling. It's bloody ridiculous

[dawn flame]

DELETE THE DOUBLE BARREL, ONE SHOT IS INSANE FOR SUCHA BABY GUN

[dreamy marlin]

Day 3 of asking embark to please let us use the reserve in ranked :c, it would mitigate the frustration a lot of people have with certain weapons with out the need of nerfing them, it would allow for niche and fun loadouts to be more present in ranked, for that same reason more people would be willing to try new weapons in a serious matter, for example if you've been practicing with the R357 but still feel insecure about your ability to use it effectively you could just bring it and if you don't feel you're ready then you could swap for a more familiar weapon, and I think it will improve the health of the game over all

[tight verge]

Please please just lower the drawback time for the dagger 🙏 . It would berally change anything balance wise for anyone but it would make dagger soooo much nicer to use. 😵‍💫

[cobalt kernel]

Remove Demat from the game, or greatly nerf the surface area it can affect PLUS nerf the recharge time or remove one charge

[frozen tree]

Day 13: Hope everyone reading this is well

Big wishlist:
Revert sword nerf (PLEASE give it 140 lunge damage, it needs it)
Revert dagger nerf (let it backstab turrets again, and increase the angle or make the charge faster)
Revert sledge nerf (at least the left click part), the range buff was nice but not what it needed
Also with the sledge buff, nerf winch! It’s the problem!
Give riot shield’s baton a wider hitbox, as right now it’s really janky to try and hit lights
Buff dual blades damage
Make breach drill faster and a maybe a bigger explosion
Bring back grenade grappling, and make it easier or reduce grapple cooldown
Make m11 a close range option, XP a mid range one, and ARN a longer range one. Same thing with AKM, FCAR, and famas, respectively
Spawns kinda suck right now, wiped teams spawn in front of people with the cashbox and block the cashout
Fix performance and freezing
Let us unlock the ultimate battlepass rewards as the $20 tier, and the 20 extra levels be part of the $30
There may be more, but this is what I think for now, and I’m open to suggestions and (constructive) criticism

[unkempt bridge]

Request to join instead of invite when?

[sudden lake]

You have one currency that's completely useless after a long enough time (VRs) and another currency that takes way too long to obtain (Show Tokens). I suggest Embark lets us trade in VRs for Show Tokens.

[halcyon knot]

If they want to nerf sword I'll agree on 110 dmg. Because H and M can't run away from u that easily, but L can. So "oneshot" technique is like the award for being able to chase down these mfs. So 110 + 40 is enough to deal w lights, but is kinda nerfed to not being able to wipe out whole idk MMH squad in 2 swings

[covert yacht]

what this game needs is a MMR system/Ranked match system where if you are plat you should be playing against plat players mby diamond players sometimes but not a full stack ruby team every game in ranked like if you are ruby you should be playing against other ruby players etc for all ranks i would rather have 1 mor min on que time jst to get better MM

[rotund gust]

Please give Bulleye Barry the practice dummy voice that you gave to crash test dummy PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Embark

[haughty halo]

add a 6v6 mode for worldtour

[undone pier]

ok yeah that sucks

[finite dirge]

make jank pack VII for shotguns pls

[lofty junco]

fact, 6v6 cashout would be insanely fun

[surreal meadow]

make it its own gamemode, like an LTM

5v5 please embark its a CNS season

[novel trench]

You're supposed to be shooting grenades and rockets, I'm sure thats part of the issue!

[pliant lichen]

For C4 why would it not detonate as early as possible if you've already pulled the trigger before it's ready? Like why encourage players to spam click instead of making it one fluid deliberate one..?

Also sprint bug is still in the game.

[icy shuttle]

The SH1900 is way too op, the reload time needs to be nerfed

it takes literally 0 skill to use, it takes mediocre aim, and the only ability usage is looking at somebody and pressing Q then left clicking their BODY

The SH1900 shouldn't one tap lights with body shots

The sh1900 needs the ability to have headshots, and those headshots need to be the only way to one tap lights

Body shots take 0 skill, 0 aim, 0 gamesense, especially because they FUCKING ONE TAP

[nocturne badger]

can we prevent players below level 60 to play light in ranked ffs?

[indigo breach]

sorry to say a lot of your feedback is a person issue, probably from a weak pc because i cant relate to you. sorry for your loss kid

[near spruce]

sh1900 skins are buns plz make more good, beautiful, reactive skins, and give them all to the sh1900 👍

[vocal rampart]

There's a new exploit about the last couple of days, that freezes/laggs-out the closest opponent. My buddies have experienced it too.

[jagged cedar]

this is a game where you can lose every fight and still win ranked games

[sly ore]

I hope they show the lever action some more love one day. It’s still useable but it sucks you can’t headshot anymore. (Though I’m aware that’d make other medium weapons less relevant in ways)

[elder quail]

Hi Embark, as a club owner, I want to track how many days ago each club member was last online. My club is growing, but I prioritize quality over quantity and need to identify inactive members to remove. Thank you.

[untold venture]

Incentivise getting and keeping 1st place in ranked games by either giving the 1st team in each knockout round additional RS or some other bonus and increase the team wipe penatly to 30% to discourage greifing. In the latest prohubs quals 4 team format griefing was almost non existant because it was too risky and had little benefit for the team in 1st place simply because doubling the last cash would kick them out of 1st place at the end of the match, thus giving them less points at the end, increasing the wipe out penalty on the other hand would make people play considerably slower/safer unless absolutely necessary and would discourage aping / risky 3rd parties

[faint saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/monster-versus-vs-alien-strange-mob-gif-12413747667150461911

[shrewd echo]

I like the idea of the medium or light having rocket launcher capabilities. I'm going to play the devil's advocate for a moment and highly recommend auto-cannon's, you're probably rolling your eyes and thinking this guy again... but if you have any kind of capture the flag style game mode or maps, you're going to need auto-cannon's to protect the cashout room. I'm sorry if you rolled your eyes that's not my intention. I wanted to write you my feelings at work in a hot kitchen while having saddness face.

[long oxide]

all fax, ill never get a 20k game again man

[remote zealot]

1 Vs 100 when?

[quaint swallow]

Please do something about the cheaters. 2-3 every game now

[drifting topaz]

SHAK ANIMATIONS PLEASEEEEE

[fierce skiff]

deagles are so bad they need a severe buff, its a damn .50 bullet\

[steep anchor]

add some kind of matchmaking to power shift so that people who don't know thhe objective do not get matched with me

[tough basalt]

Like 90% of the time I get stupid ass people who only go after kills and never even touch the platform in the entire match

[honest siren]

i have a million things to complain about (like enemy teams spawning behind me in ranked 5 seconds after we spawn, and then after we get wiped we spawn at the same spawn again)

but this change to the weight of the cash box is ridiculous.

i cannot believe we are just removing the ability to throw the cash box further, only preventing the clutch clips that are one of the best parts of the game. last second insertions

are you trying to stop people from playing keep away with the cashbox? thats a grapple problem, and changing the weight of the cash box doesnt fix that.

everything feels downhill as always, from the sledge nerf that says "we want our melee players to hold one button the whole time because that sounds more fun! (i never play sledge, that buff is absurd and the "idea" behind it is completely out of touch) to the sword nerf that just completely deletes the weapon from the game because skill based gameplay isnt what embark wants

(i also don't even play sword, and ive never had an issue fighting them and i play on controller, which apparently would be worse for fighting sword players)
terrible decisions

[merry anvil]

Please organize most recently played players by team group. And the time and date the players have played together.

Thanks

[hollow belfry]

Pc crashing problems when trying to boot up the finals

[twilit sand]

Why does the game take so long to launch since the start of season 6 on pc? It takes 2 minutes to get past the pre launch screen with the blue squares and another minute to compile shaders. You used to be able to get to the main menu in 30 seconds but now it takes so long. My hardware hasn't changed and the game is on an nvme. Can someone take a look at this please?

[fading cobalt]

I feel like their approach to QM combos is, frankly, lazy.

The problem is that they can be used instantly to end an animation. Sledge and Winch would not be an issue if you had more delay on the follow-up QM that allowed the target to react.

They should have just had a delay like you do for a regular follow-up swing, but slightly less than that. It was the instantaneous nature of it that was the problem.

It was also a lazy half measure to not let winch and QM cancel reload/SA1216 barrel rotations without also adding segmented reloads. If I finish pumping the KS-23 forward then winch/QM, I should only have to push the pump slide back, not to the whole animation again, same with if the barrel rotation is halfway through.

[acoustic urchin]

Um please fix this it reset me back 1 level

[frozen tree]

While I agree that it’s harder for medium and heavy to run away from a sword, if your team is so close together they get wiped by a sword in two hits, while also not being able to kill said sword with all three focusing them, that’s a skill issue. The reason I want a full revert to the nerf is that while the light matchup nerf was a major hit, the medium and heavy (especially heavy) took a hit. Killing a medium is just more annoying and really has only one method (2 lunges + qm) instead of two (2 lunges or lunge + slash + qm). Heavy is way harder to kill too, now requiring 3 lunges + qm, giving them ample time to just kill you. That’s why I think a full reversion is necessary. The only problem with old sword was phantom slashing, which is gone

[earnest valve]

That actually would be nice or just give two for winning and 1 for losing and also trading vr would be nice

[tribal prism]

Disable Anonymous mode

most of the player I encounter have anonymous mode enabled, personally I haven't meet any streamer or name with TTV, YT or whatever, but lower level, extreme precise aiming. it's more like a face mask for aimbots now.

[hazy mountain]

Exactly

[thorny lynx]

EMBARK, your game is in the worst state in the last 2 seasons. You need to do better if a 100k tourny is going on because the stutters, lag, weapon issues, timing, spawns, etc are all bad again.... you had it for a couple weeks end of s6 but you have dropped the ball in a MASSIVE way with all these changes from Thursdays update. Ruined state. Sad game

[main gull]

bring back stun and nerf goo gun cooldown. take 0 skill

[young karma]

How do you get the red cosmetics in the first battle pass? do you have to own it in season 1

[molten jackal]

No

[dry kiln]

The recent nerf to Cloak feels overly aggressive, especially considering how limited its effectiveness already is. This marks the third time Cloak has been toned down, and while the previous adjustments were manageable, this one pushes it too far and needs to be rolled back. Even when playing as a Medium class, I can still spot cloaked players with ease they appear more like faint silhouettes than anything close to invisible. At around 20 meters, tracking a cloaked player is trivial. The “hide-and-seek” playstyle suggested in the patch notes doesn’t translate into reality. Standing still, which is supposed to improve concealment, barely helps players remain clearly visible and easy to follow. Instead of improving stealth gameplay, this change undermines it further, leaving Cloak weaker than ever while persistent visibility issues remain untouched.

[grand temple]

Buff charge and slam

[fleet socket]

Please revert the removal of #1390556004848111716

[versed dagger]

goo mines?

[gloomy cradle]

Ltm makes me wanna slam my nuts in the fridge door. Try to place jump pad, nope it gets destroyed now I’m a sitting duck. Try to dash towards jump pad, nope only one dash now I’m a sitting duck. In a game mode where standing still for half a second gets you killed I feel like the movement could be a bit better. I await the day the OSPUZE hammer gamemode returns that was a banger. I do like the retro boomer shooter vibe tho W attempt just not something I’ll be playing once I get my challenges done

[pliant whale]

this matchmaking is so frustrating because it makes me lose 10 matches in a row before the guy who was kicking my ass last game gets on my team and suddenly does WORSE than me somehow causing me to lose the 11th match in a row. I just want teammates who have greater than 50 IQ and I don't want to have to lose 200 points to 3000 in this stupid LTM 11 times in a row

[icy charm]

Would like to see mgl grenades explode on shields (dome and mesh), either first or second bounce, just at some point. Its quite frustrating watching them get knocked away. You can try to aim for aoe dmg on the shield but it feels unfair that mgl is the only thing that struggles to do much against shields.

[hot imp]

Make enemies suicide count as kill if we dealt damage to them
Let us change guns like WT on Ranked

Edit: If you notice that your melee build is not working at least you could switch up to a safer loadout, the way it is currently makes it too risky to be creative, playing double swords or dagger for example.

[deep aspen]

nah not ranked

[glass fjord]

1 reserve weapon, but no gadget swapping might actually be fun. would mix up metas at least a little

[toxic cobalt]

Blast off game mode is so fun. but please remove the pixelated effect.

[tidal parrot]

ADD MORE QUICK MELEE ANIMATIONS

[gritty turtle]

Oh boy how fun 🥹

[arctic trail]

Could we have an option to change the color of the sights? Im red/green colorblind and I cant use any of the red dots besides the okp-7 one cause its green.

[vagrant river]

Cosmetic tactical run.
There should be a setting option / buyable animation for most (or all) guns that allow a cosmetic "tactical" run (akin to the animation played in MW when you tact run) which has the gun pointed up toward the sky while running, instead of down and across the torso. It might seem completely dumb to suggest this, but for me personally, the difference in animation gives my gameplay a more "swift" feel, and makes everything feel a lot more smooth. I tend to swap between my gun and various items just out of habit, and for me, the placebo of more speed tends to help me play better, and I think it'd be a cool QOL addition to allow for that as an option.

[vestal prairie]

It's a casual mode relax

[broken crest]

DEAR EMBARK TEAM
DEAR EMBARK TEAM
I have one thing to say and that is that you should buff mele weapons like heavy hammer and dagger but why are you nerfing them at all I haven't seen anyone complaining in the community except (appoh) so I ask you if you don't want to lose players to buff them in the next update thanks

[west kernel]

i feel like Show Tokens should also be rewarded from Mission, daily or Weeklies

[rustic tinsel]

Do you know what 'Survivorship bias' is? It’s a logical fallacy where people only focus on those who made it through a selection process while ignoring those who didn’t. When only the players who managed to adapt to using melee weapons are still using them, of course the remaining stats will look good because only the successful ones are left. Anyone who wasn’t good at using melee weapons would’ve just stopped playing them. That’s why, objectively, there have always been fewer melee users than gun users.

So making balance decisions based solely on stats without playing the weapon yourself is absurd. The fact that only a few people are using it means it’s already a weapon for experts. And if only experts remain, of course the stats will look good. And If people are asking for a nerf, it usually means they don’t even use the weapon themselves. Look at Pike. It’s one of the strongest weapons right now, but you don’t see nearly as people crying for a nerf. Why? Because the majority of this game’s players are mediums (actually embark says). And naturally, people don’t ask for nerfs on weapons they like and use themselves.

But I’m NOT saying Pike should be nerfed. What I’m saying is that the other weapons should be buffed to the same level.

Fighting against niche weapons requires a different approach than fighting against guns. But instead of adapting, a bunch of dumb players keep whining for nerfs because they can’t be bothered to change their gadgets or playstyle.

Instead of nerfing, just buff the alternatives. That way, the players who use those weapons don’t feel unfairly punished, and those using other weapons will enjoy having more competitive options. Everyone wins. So why do you only nerf? Nerfs should be handled with surgical precision, not through nonsense like slashing a weapon’s dmg by 25%.

Pls revert the nerfs to sword, dagger, and sledge. All melee weapons needed their pre-nerf stats, and that’s why they were originally set that way.

[tender belfry]

holy skill issue LMAO

[real crow]

I gotta hand it to yall embark i usually dont really play the LTMs but I got hooked on the blast off LTM

[crystal umbra]

Current CL-40 is a sick joke.

Stop it.

[simple ether]

And its loud as hell so its not hard to find. Plus, depending on your settings and monitor type, its already easier to see for some than others. Plus, its not like there isnt any counter to it. Every class has some form of proximity sensor (or multiple for some classes) that they can use to spot an invis player.

Not to mention the fact that like 50% of the people in this game are using wall hacks to begin with. So any nerf of invis is basically moot.

[icy shuttle]

Bro's never seen a cloak sh1900 user hiding in a corner 💔

[verbal cairn]

goo gun + hammer is fucking miserable to play against. limit my movement is anoying enough but i cant even shoot back fuck that.

[summer bluff]

The team colors purple and pink are super similar, especially in third party situations. Maybe it would be possible to separate the teams more by color?

[near furnace]

what if they did a superhero’s and villain based season and we have capes and stuff? Or even maybe a CyberCore/Mecha season with futuristic like weapons or tech?

[sterile canopy]

Then you’d have people like me complaining about it being kinda lame theming.

[verbal lintel]

Are there any plans to add the latest Version of the DLSS transformer model?
currently finals is using 310.1.0 but nvidia already released the latest out of beta version

[quick coyote]

New game mode feels like trying to swat a mosquito
Not fun at all and the effect hurts my eyes

[tepid ether]

Please add LAST SEEN in club

[topaz jungle]

….is the new mode a honey trap for cheaters? Cause that’d be pretty brilliant

[tall cradle]

Blast off fucking sucks, the filter sucks, server performance sucks huge balls, having to play this shit mode for dailies sucks, having to play 20 matches for a reward sucks. Bring back Bunny Bash, bring back Heavy Hitters, bring back Snowball Blitz, bring back Smoking Guns. Bury Blas off in a pit and never touch it again.

[spice dagger]

What happened to the kill hitmarker it seems really faint now

[lament turret]

I know this is a weird maybe not possiable but can you add solo ranked and world tour that dont depend on cash maybe depend on kills and how many kills you have and the ones with the few kills dont go to the next round or depend on something else like money you earn for kills and you loss money everytime you die 🌹🌹👍

[torpid comet]

Make it so if youre stealing a cashout and it ends it goes into "Overtime" and the match dosnt end until its either stolen or the person stealing it lets go, right now the game is over when theres 7 seconds left in the match.

[leaden shell]

not trying to be part of the nerf commitee but the db has got to get some kind of damage reduction doing 189 per tap is just way to free

[polar junco]

They have accessability settings where you can change colors and define how the viewfinder looks. Maybe you can find what you need there

[tribal rampart]

I've got 2 things I wanna mention and propose:

1. Consider adding a way to select your spawn when you are teamwiped. A simple solution would be that you can ping the cashout you want to spawn at and that works as a voting system for your team too. Too many times have we wiped on a cashout that was ours only to respawn 200m+ away from it, while it was still ours. Or respawned at a cashout that had no time remaining to do anything and the other cashout had plenty if we didn't spawn in Narnia.

2. For Seoul specific, please add a hallway under the main path to hospital, you could even make it have a glass roof so the defenders can see people crossing, or make it bulletproof so they just get the info and the attackers have a way to push hospital without being naked and afraid in the open. Of course there are other ways to push that location, but if its properly defended its way too op imo. I was thinking a tunnel that would give attackers some in cover way to push and defenders a reason to not just sit on the roof and camp, would be a good way to address the issues with hospital. I don't think a completely hidden tunnel would be good though, since then defenders would just be surprised by a full team in their back and that'd play bad as well.

Just my opinions on 2 topics, so I hope you read it and consider it. It's def biased towards my own experiences so It's not a perfect fix. Just some things I'd like to see changed to hopefully benefit the flow and enjoyment of Seoul and also in general the respawn system. (Also.. Fix the bug where if you coin right as a teammate dies, you spawn at the other side of the map, ty)

[acoustic storm]

Ok, so what have they done with the ARN-220?
I mean its nice that they want it to be viable. But why is it the way better FCAR?
More effective range, better recoil control and even better damage per round at max range.

ARN-220
Min Range 37.5m
Max Range 42.5m
Multiplier at Max Range 0.72
-> 12,24 damage per body shot
DPS at Max: ~147

FCAR
Min Range 35m
Max range 40m
Multiplier at Max range 0.55
-> 12.1 damage per body shot
DPS at Max: ~109

As A reference, the XP-54:
Min Range 22.5m
Max Range 32.5m
Multiplier at Max Range 0.52
-> 8.32
DPS at Max: ~119

It is totally fine that the Light Class has more dps than other classes, but a weapon which has basically no downsides and is such a huge jack of all trades is maybe a huge bit much.

But maybe that's what one gets for adding a weapon that's way too similar in purpose and identity to the XP-54.

Looking at the numbers it l,ooks ridiculous xD

[meager jewel]

Please Embark let us see the player cards of friends and people applying to join a club ☀️

[placid acorn]

dear embark, for my birthday I would like:

• changing scopes in practice range
• changing loadout names
• changing card background for each loadout

[tribal prism]

ban all sniper in powershift you instantly die with these toxic player camping

[slender girder]

Hoping these wishes come true!🤞 Especially 1 & 3.

[spare ravine]

Embark please, haven't you seen by now? There are enough people clearly pointing out that melee is just no longer viable in more competitive modes, you have ranked and wt which hardly anyone picks melee because of how unbelievably bad it has become, I main dagger, or at least I have attempted to main dagger, but the reg on top of the server issues has become a joke, it is a blessing if even one of your backstabs count, numerous times have I gotten what clearly is a backstab and just gotten no response only for the player to turn around 180 and beam with an actual ranged weapon. The charge up time is atrocious, any player with average to above average skill will beam you before you even get an 800ms charge, the slightest turn in the player model topped up with the shty servers makes you instantly somehow not hit the hitbox even though it was a clear hit. The movement penalty makes you become aim train for any one who sees you, melee lock on is just a lazy way to make the weapon to be targeting the centre of mass but that leaves little control of where the weapon actually lands, leading to sometimes even being somehow just a normal 75 damage because once again the slightest turn fks this weapon up, so what have I done. I switched from melee lock on, it helps with more fluent dash 180 backstab, but wait there's more, even that doesn't fix the weapon, any walking up behind a target and performing a backstab from simply behind regs or just decides that it is no longer part of the backstab angle because the game decided so. Please fix your servers revert any melee nerf ever done. I have never truly seen a high elo player complain about melee and its position in high elo gameplay. The moment nade launcher became unbearable there were some clear names and complaints about it even in the high elos, you hardly have nerfed it, I had one guy going 17 and 3 in WT yesterday, what kind of nerf makes the weapon the exact same as before. Stop nerfing weapons that aren't as broken.

[night bough]

Matchmaking is in fact terrible at the moment. The current SBMM system is all wrong, as it takes into account the team's performance, not the player's.

[odd sparrow]

Or just make it so where you can choose which skins are shuffled

[vale bluff]

FUCK Blast off

[sonic wave]

Hi, can we have a BANDANA HAT like bikers, please ? I'll pay for this 🙂

[fleet quiver]

i dont like the cl40

[fervent tartan]

does anyone else have an insane keyboard input delay?

[neat yoke]

no

[crystal umbra]

CL-40 needs to go. . .

[wicked viper]

Why is blast off so pixelated?

[frozen tree]

Day 14: Blast off is cool

Big wishlist:
Revert sword nerf (PLEASE give it 140 lunge damage, it needs it)
Buff dagger (so much you could do I think you must: let it backstab turrets and fix hit-reg and than you should do one or more of: reduce charge time, increase backstab angle, slowdown only when fully charged)
Revert sledge nerf (at least the left click part), the range buff was nice but not what it needed
Also with the sledge buff, nerf winch! It’s the problem!
Give riot shield’s baton a wider hitbox, as right now it’s really janky to try and hit lights
Buff dual blades damage
Make breach drill faster and a maybe a bigger explosion
Bring back grenade grappling, and make it easier or reduce grapple cooldown
Make m11 a close range option, XP a mid range one, and ARN a longer range one. Same thing with AKM, FCAR, and famas, respectively
Spawns kinda suck right now, wiped teams spawn in front of people with the cashbox and block the cashout
Fix performance and freezing
Let us unlock the ultimate battlepass rewards as the $20 tier, and the 20 extra levels be part of the $30
There may be more, but this is what I think for now, and I’m open to suggestions and (constructive) criticism

[terse slate]

Lovely that Finals is at the point again where i need to take a long break because cheats are taking a hard spot again...
For example EnanoGuapo#5975. Great example of a wallhack that is not being punished fast enough.
And for gods sake if you go against a cheater stop unbanning them... I have seen a lot of top 100 players in WT being banned just to be unbanned because they are asking nicely by DMing an employee. What the hell is this? If you want this game to really shine go against cheaters with a 0-tolerance policy. Otherwise this will become "Apex Legends 2".

[mint lintel]

I like this change and believe it should be added

[tame vessel]

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

Spear: increase the first swing damage in the combo from 65 to 70 making it 70, 80, 90 and increase the spin attack damage to 120

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

Riot shield: increase the movement speed when blocking

R.357: increase the fire rate from 140 to 160 RPM

Dual blades: make the Deflect more consistent so it can block all melee weapons and increase the first swing damage from 50 to 55, increase the second swing damage from 60 to 65 and 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 and make it so the blades deflect pellets from shotguns more consistently because right now it's bugged and it deflects more pellets at a certain range

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

ARN-220: 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

Data Reshaper: increase the charges from 2 to 3 and decrease the cooldown from 26s to 20s

these emojis will highlight the message so anyone at embark can see them 🥇:🤠🤯😵:⚽️:grinning:😆🙃😇🫠

[vagrant lake]

Blastoff is nice, I love the unique styling done to it
CL-40 nerf is perfect
fix winchclaw, heavy doesn't have three hands for what I can see! (able to shoot while clawing, clawing through walls, turning me into a potato like the stun gun did)
I also dig ability to change reticle colors ^

please add more social features, request to join party isn't really a hard option to add (just reverse invite) or ability to DM friends so I could ask for it

I'm going to hop on the bandwagon of ultimate pass $20 and $30 for extra levels + ultimate pass, initially when I bought it, I didn't think it'd come with extra levels (and I'd rather start at 0 instead of 20, more reason to play)

[sleek marsh]

It's simple, Medium has 100H more, so to balance this out, the Arn has more dps. Only because Gun x is better than gun Y doesn't mean, that gun Y won't kill you faster, because of the health difference. So it's pretty fair the arn is better

[harsh cliff]

3 turrets+ 3 CL40, extremely toxic lobbies. For the one million times for Christ sake remove this stupid CL40 from the game. Please please please. It's just ruining the whole game

[vivid seal]

cl40 is NOT getting removed, stop hoping

[storm inlet]

remove winch claw from the game

[rapid pike]

Why exactly can't we portal into the void? The "Anti-Void" often messes up legit portals indoors too. Also reds have been feeling really unreliable for a while. It just bounces off / doesnt even fly off

[signal basin]

Update after S7.3 :

** General feedback **

The worst balance week I ever see. CL40 nerf is a joke. My LMH squad lose in finals VS guess what ?! MMM with 3CL40 ! Who can see that coming ?! HUH ?!
Cheaters are spreading and matchmaking is worst this season

New season, but still MMH / HHM META
I would LOVE to see your data on Light class & how unbalanced they are compare to Medium & Heavy class

🎲 For the game 🎲

• In pratice game, add friendly fire option
• Improve your matchmaking in World Tour. No more Solo VS tri-stack
• Add "steps" in reload animation so when you climb on something during a reload, it's not completely reset.
• Add a report option " Sabotage " in the report section IG when people leave or AFK on purpose.
• Let us choose our sight weapons at the beginning of a game
• Random charm list for weapons/gadgets. EDIT : Can we just choose our random skin & not all our skins ?
• 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 ⚖️ **

• Nerf CL40. For real this time
• META Full heal. What's the point when, as Light, you get 2 shot by all the META weapons ? Buff Light weapons so they can get a kill before getting Thanosed. The effort to play Light correctly is too damn high compared to Medium & Heavy class. There is no fun at all playing Light. Meanwhile Medium spam with CL40 and Heavy are unkillable with the new heal. When will we see a META with Light ? Stop listen cry baby and buff their DPS !
• Revert the nerf of the XP54. What's the point of putting XP at 16dmg when M11 (an other SMG) do the same, faster & with more bullets ?
• Rework Nulifier (again) : When you get it by the "Taser" your recoil is increased but you can still move as you want and you take 5 dmg/sec by the electricity during 3 sec. Can hit multiple target when you shoot.
• You shouldn't be able to right clic sword + dash. This double dash is unfair
• Increase the hip fire the CB01-Repeater
• Rework Vanish Bomb. Make it start regen instant. It will increase survability for the Light & it can be use for your teammates too !
• 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 safer !
• 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 already strong enough
• Rework the ARN into a real AR ? Slower RPM but much more DMG. Something like the FCAR for example.

** 🛜 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, DualS or all other melee weapon feels unfair when you think you're out of range and die anyway
• Having good connection = Death behind wall, door & anything else.

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

[pure obsidian]

Buff all melee weapons damage.

[cedar cave]

this bug should be a feature XDDD

[warm zealot]

CB1 white suit

[drifting topaz]

SHAK ANIMATIONS PLEASE!!!

[fleet socket]

Add https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1390556004848111716 back please

Also buff cl40

[thick cliff]

Its been year and half im saying this
Whoever taking charge of controller section on this game he need a drugs test because there is no fucking way aim assist tracking is off on higher deadzone than 0 it’s ridiculous
I just keep dreaming about fixing this and removing hidden deadzone on this game
And just add the mnk support because a dev from you said to me on season 3 we working on it its kinda bad till this season im seeing no mnk on console

[arctic trail]

I triple checked, and while I do have Protanopia mode turned on, theres nothing that changes the "red" dots colors =[

[shrewd echo]

I had a dream there was a bank heist mode on the finals last night. Two teams of five stealing the others cash. Like bank it but one deposit area for both teams. Each team has a deposit/stealing area. Death you lose coins.
@sonic spoke Like bank it with bases. Huge fan of the Battlefield series, I like the idea of Hardline, I felt like it was poorly marketed, and Battlefield 4 was better. Love the homage to 3D Realms, I grew up playing commander keen, doom, wolfenstine 3d, side scrolling Duke Nukem. Props

[sonic spoke]

It is a Duke Nukem / Quake / Wolfenstein 3D homage. Early fps "3d" games.
@shrewd echo like Battlefield Hardline?

[rustic tinsel]

The dagger,sword,sledgehammer nerf... I’m honestly losing all interest in the game because of these changes. I can use pretty much every weapon and every class, so I thought I wouldn’t care what got nerfed, as long as it was reasonable. But when weapons I used to enjoy are now so weak they’re practically unplayable, the game just becomes less and less fun. It feels like Embark just said, “Too much hassle to balance. Just delete it.”

There were players who only used melees. How are they supposed to take a patch that basically removes those weapons from the game?
Do you just want to make this into a game where only ARs and DMRs are viable?Then, what’s the point of playing this game?
Try to remember why people liked this game in the first place.

"These adjustments are separate from the broader melee quality-of-life improvements we’re planning for the future."

Don’t just say it. You need to actually revert the melee nerfs.
As the patch notes said, melee sweeps and melee quality-of-life should be handled separately. Right now, melee is practically unusable in WT and ranked.
Please, actually play the game before making balance changes.
Even just a little each day, so you can feel the actual balance for yourselves instead of just listening to the whining of whiners.

Melee has to hit a certain dmg threshold to even be viable. Since melee must has to get up close to the enemy, offense is always the best defense. The only way to improve the survivability and viability of melees is to give them enough dmg.

I don't want to give such harsh feedback.But I do it because I love this game. I can’t just sit back and watch you ruin it.

Sword needs a 140 dmg lunge. All melee weapons needed their pre-nerf stats, which is why it was done.

[minor lake]

hello, please do something to the medium class, and the assault riffle!!!, they became useless against light and heavy, we cant fight against them, they depop the medium with knife, shuriken, dash, pistol, sword, or against heavy with their chains, hammers etc. really it became horrible to play medium with assault rifle reallyn they need to be big nerf and a good buff for medium

[near spruce]

windows vista background theme map with buildings and random floating blue tiles that are circular shaped (fruitger aero inspired map) plz.

think Grass and blue skys with clouds, and buildings with walkways and floating tile like sponsor buildings

[steel otter]

Simple request, Can we please get a Data Breach Skin for the XP-54? (And other weapons too) This skin is great but needs to exist for more weapons.

[glass pendant]

You are legit so bad you think xp54 needs buffs and ks23 needs nerfs? Good thing devs dont listen to you spamming this channel with walls of text

[fierce skiff]

there has to be some detected, kill death ratio on ranked to get put up with better players cause holy fuck the ranked random teamates are fucking horrible

[thorny lynx]

Yoooooo it is soooo damn cool that the WALLHACK event still just pops up and you know RUINS everything again. Get your team together for real.... this season is the worst

[sonic arrow]

More comms regarding changes/issues they're looking into INCLUDING progress reports would be nice

[wary panther]

does the famas hav e abetter ttk than the fcar

[fossil geyser]

I keep getting a teammate going by the name of docstarling who keeps not playing because he doesn't get what he wants and builds mini towers put of throwables not helping us it's ruining my experience can we please ban him or add a feature that allows us to avoid them as a teammate I have the full game if that helps

[raven storm]

@whole umbra @teal ermine @crimson python @peak nacelle @gray ore @pine adder and other embark employees. Whats the point of us playing when the server always shows high ping and network issue. I am in asia server and i always get high ping. At least add a ping display so that we can know that there is no use of playing this match when ping is above 100. Constant high ping, loosing matches due to this.

is getting a better server for asia a too big of a task. Its not just one game but each game i mostly get a yellow or orange indicator on right side of the screen. Spending money on game skins but its no use since i am not able to play the game.

Leaving the game for now. Will be back when any of my friend says that the ping issue is fixed..

[edgy glen]

please make it so anti gravity cubes vertical lifting effect takes a second to kick in so that a melee has a chance to destroy the cube

[elder birch]

Please refrain from pinging embark devs

[visual wave]

The lenticular charms and sprays are so neat. The creativity in this game is astounding

It’d be rad to get a unique ‘male’ face/character like captain ironmark at the end of a future battlepass

[high kettle]

Take out the cl40, remove the blast off game mode it's literally so bad, and fix match making

[drowsy swift]

i would like for more game event variation, the last permanent one we got was retro invasion in season 2 and inbetween somewhere we got bountyhunter only as worldtour event for a week. like the current retro event mode just the pixel screen and center weapon would do great for a game event :3

also more map variations, the new ones hardly come with any new variation like floating buildings and wire and turrets

[raven garnet]

How does the report system work? cause these blatant cheaters I've reported don't have any bans. didn't know it was legit to not miss a headshot 698 meters away with the m11 and blatant aimbots and walls. plus just played agaisnt a new cheater! this fuckers health didnt ever i mean NEVER went below half HP

[little swan]

cheater get 1 week ban

[livid trail]

Would be nice if the game was a bit better optimised. 90+% CPU usage and only 150-180 FPS with a 9800x3d isn't great. I don't remember it being this bad when I played a year or so ago.

[limpid orchid]

why doesnt the retro gamemode has rocket jump and is so foccused in jump pads and lower gravity instead? 😦
i feel a bit disappointed

[tepid summit]

the ltm is cool and the only reason im still playing, this whole rest of the season is actually the worst ive played, the whole theme of cyberpuke and japan is making me rip my hair out, and on top of that the healing meta is not fun, every single melee weapon i have enjoyed has been nerfed into an unfun state, everything feels off from what the game use to be, and it feels like is devolving more and more

[wraith gale]

Let us change our loadout, in the same unrestricted way as in Quick Play, in WT and ranked. try it.

[merry socket]

Bru nerf the flame thrower and the grenade launchers they’re so annoying 😭

[pearl cairn]

A lot of light weapons are severely overtuned. It makes playing against them both overly oppressive and irritating. Throwing knives are too strong. With any kind of delay on the defender's end, it results in an instant loss with any class. The throwing knives deal too much damage and give too much reward for a weapon so consistent. The SR-84 should not combine with a melee to one-tap a light at close range. If you want to keep the reward for accuracy at longer ranges, the headshot multiplier already does that. There is no reason for a light to be punished because they closed the distance on the strongest long-range weapon in the game. The SH-1900 is too forgiving in its range. It should not be able to still retain its effectiveness over mid-range. The weapon is too rewarding for too little work. I believe that the ability to one-tap lights point-blank is fine, same with two-tapping mediums and dealing with heavies quickly, but the weapon is too effective over too long a range. In addition, there is no real reason to use matter over the SH-1900 in this meta, since the ability to just reload the shotgun while dashing and to one-tap a light that saw you kill their teammate is too fast and needs to be slower if damage is not reduced. Overall, I feel that most of light's weapons are either in a good spot and can be good in the hands of the right player, but that they are all overshadowed by these weapons. I think weapons like the M26 matter, LH1, XP-54, ARN-220, and the majority of light's weapons are correctly balanced for light's abilities. I think certain weapons benefit more from certain playstyles, like dagger and evasive dash or the M11 with cloaking device, and I see nothing wrong with this. However, the overtuned weapons benefit too greatly from how fast a light can get in and out of fights, and without the CL40 to address these weapons running rampant easily, action should be taken.

[simple glen]

Bring back old ltms and put them on a 1 week rotation with a leaderboard. Give top leaderboard players reward like in game currency, skins, emotes or something. Increase incentives for playing.

[twilit geode]

Bring back the old destruction the new one just crumbles like bread crumbs cause when I put an Aps turret even one hit makes it fall down the floor.

[shell bay]

The Finals needs more advertising. I almost never see advertisment from the finals and i think thats a big reason why the playercount is low. It kinda gets forgoten by people even tho its a great game.

[dawn valve]

Please fix the sound bug with the metal grate things on the tops of bernal buildings. They sound like rain is hitting metal and its WAY too loud

[digital shoal]

I thought the steal timer was 7 seconds? We just lost a world tour to a 5 second steal?

[woeful lagoon]

add a favorite mechanic for the randomizer

[hollow bobcat]

Are we ever gonna fix spear hit reg? I see sledge got some love and spear is dying for the same treatment 🙏🏻

[empty island]

I am Ks-23. I think the KS-23 could use some love, damage is fine , accuracy is ok i guess, i'm probably just bad though, I do wish the reload speed was a bit faster, still minor issues tbh. But please for the love of god release more skins. love you embark P.S i dont know if its just for this gun but i keep getting shooting glitch where i cant shoot, and running glitch where i cant run(fixed by shooting and reloading)

[novel trench]

Hitreg in general has been poor since the launch of S7.

[weary pine]

Revert CL-40 center radius back to 30cm. We have all had enough of that baby gun this season. Its effing boring!

[rotund gust]

give Bullseye Barrythe practice dummy voice

add MnK support to console WTF you lied saying it was coming 5 seasons ago. It was never in the works. It takes 1 week to add MnK to a game especially since it was nativelly in at launch, but you removed it because you think people don't want options -_-

[finite galleon]

Final rounds' steals are 6 seconds.

[prisma hinge]

A thumbs up or thumbs down option so we don’t get paired with the same teammates

[turbid bluff]

The destruction is way overtuned

[gritty turtle]

The ks23 only needs one little tiny buff to be usable, make it 105 damage or just ban Steve from the server

[plush fjord]

Know which person in this channel is whining about a gun just because they lost to it, so that you know not to listen to them.

[exotic vector]

One thing me and I think plenty of people wish to be added is separate sensetivity settings for weapons/scope magnifications. Playing sniper feals really good but with focal sens it doesnt feel good between hip and scope modes, as there is to big of a difference in sens, this also leads to inability to play sniper and then switch back to any x0-x3 scope, as there is no possibility to make hi and scope sensitivity 1:1 on all of the scopes, if you make sniper 1:1 it will screw up closer range scopes and same in opposit way.. Its a shame that this was not added in such a great shooter in the first place. Would be great to see it soon, as customizing sens for me was a nigtmare from the very beginning.

[late hornet]

With randomization you need to allow us to select multiple skins to randomize between. When you have cool skins. No one wants the basic red blue yellow boring skins. Please work on this feature. I want to use it but ugh

[west glacier]

most of the feedback is negative. so i just wanted to say: great cl-40 nerf. and that's coming from a main too! i always played this weapon because i like grenade launchers. even when it was at it worst. but now, it's not as easy as it was before to just spam. you gotta hit your shots. and for me, that's not an issue. maybe the self damage was a bit too much, but W patch anyways.

[molten trail]

bin low gravity

[tropic pecan]

im just starting the game, im level 5, and im against people who are level 50+

i dont understand this matchmaking system

[harsh oak]

Holy fucking shit, can we remove physical hotboxes from the random props in game?

[harsh cliff]

I wish you do something about cheaters, it's just stupid, I get killed by a guy that doesn't miss any shot, he is just crazy and of course he is just lvl 12 with like 400 kills, for God sake, ranked is just should be who got the best cheats not who has better skills, it's just so stupid. I swear playing this ranked system is just a waste of life

[sterile canopy]

there aren't enough level 5 people to quickly form full lobbies of them. It can only matchmake from the pool of players in your region queuing the same gamemode at the same time.

[hazy skiff]

Horse

[uncut hedge]

infuser sitll OP and the pike as well

[split mist]

Make the grenade launcher a gadget with limited ammo instead of a main weapon. Way too OP and not fun to fight against.

[pseudo leaf]

FIX THE MATCH MAKING embark WHY AM I GETTING 30K RS GUYS IN MY TEAM WHILE BEEING 40K I DON'T WANT TO EXPLAIN BASICS TO THOSE idiots... MAKE MY TEAM MATES AROUND MY RANK. IS IT HARD TO DO THAT? I WONDER WHY ??? BECAUSE YOU GUYS DIDN'T CARE ABOUT RANKED AND SOLOQ AND GRIEFING AND TEAMING AND SMURFING AND BOOSTING AND CHEATERS.........

[placid parrot]

Change the winch claw already to make it so you have to charge it up and show the heavy swinging the chain, so many heavy weapons are being held back because of how strong winch is in this moment.

[drifting topaz]

SHAK ANIMATIONS PLEASE

[dark steppe]

Add a Favorite System. For example, you favorite a weapon skin and another 3 more of the same weapon, and then you randomly rotate between your favorited weapon skins every round.

[polar shell]

embark: THE next finals map should have a deep and dark cave system

[ionic monolith]

Why? It’s not like they’re busily working to improve this game. If anything keeping them distracted might keep them from further mismanagement.

[elder birch]

feedback is welcomed and encouraged but we ask that the devs not be pinged when they arent in the chats

[earnest sonnet]

spawn rotation, 3 times spawned on the same spot and three times instantly died
fuck this game 💩 🖕

[weak ivy]

skill based match making would be nice. getting brand new accounts on my team who don't know how to play is not a fun time for me or them.

[fleet timber]

what the fuck with lobbies matchmaking I play with newbies in my team or with the same stats vs guys with much more hours in this game I win one round per 10 games in everage this is very annoying and overshadows all the pros of this game. No matter how fun and interesting the game is, it all fades away when you can't win even a round in 10+ games and you see players with much better statistics against you, and your team has players of your level. I think there have been clear problems with player selection for several seasons now.

[azure wedge]

Me: Just patiently waiting for Season 37 so I can finally get my favorite Ruby/Emerald weapon, because Embark has apparently decided it makes way more sense to hand me whatever random weapon they feel like, instead of, just you know, giving me a "Token" I could actually exchange for the weapon I actually want...🤦

Embark being Embark, I guess... Logic is clearly a foreign concept to anything they put out.
Honestly, how is it humanly possible that the person in charge of decision-making for this game always manages to pick the most random and utterly absurd choices? 🤷

[frosty trellis]

EMBARK PLES... 2 games in a row where 3rd man in world tour gets god dam kicked and we have to play 2 man D:

[mighty rune]

please buff other weapons so cl isnt the only thing picked

[lyric crystal]

They should really add a forfeit feature in ranked matches. Because tell me why I am being punished by sitting in a match where my team quite literally is inept and I HAVE to sit and play because otherwise if I try to leave I get punished. It makes no sense why someone who is throwing can do it so easily and others have to suffer for it. Also, adding the option to report someone for throwing would make it even better.

[inner coral]

CL40 and MGL = gadget, not gun

high direct hit damage,
low splash damage, but a bit higher on the user.

increased arena damage, similar to RPG and Hand Grenade, it should be very chaotic,
but it shouldnt be as simple as sliding in some more ammo (infinitely) and standing back cannon balling the Obj like it currently has become.

not to say only skill-less players use it as is either- it's not so OP you must pick it, but it's quite annoying and when a skilled player has it it's almost impossible to defend.
(APS is useless against it when 3 shots demolishes it, Heavy shields are abundant and heals are awesome too but you shouldn't be funneled into a meta comp every match). #👂┇game-feedback

[quartz dirge]

fix the servers

[summer drum]

Remove the "Play x gamemode" contracts. I get you wanna make ppl try out other game modes, but i really don't want to play snipower shift once, let alone three times. I am not having fun when that happens, i just end up standing there afk waiting for the game to end.

[sonic arrow]

Ah yes

Remove weapon specific playstyles that have been in the game a while and people have gotten used to, won't cause controversy at all

[heavy herald]

I keep getting a teammate going by the name of docstarling who keeps not playing because he doesn't get what he wants and builds mini towers put of throwables not helping us it's ruining my experience can we please ban him or add a feature that allows us to avoid them as a teammate I have the full game if that helps

[quartz folio]

Mel takes skill to play doesn’t need a nerf it doesn’t detonate immediately after firing

[proper wadi]

I have a cosmetic suggestion but, it'd be cool if the nades had skins to their corresponding barrels like you're throwing a mini barrel at people

[lapis basin]

BUFF MELEE WEAPONS AND STOP MAKING DAMAGE ON WEAPONS 74 or 1 damage below an even and clean kill. It’s so garbage go land accurate hits only for an opponent with a full auto to kill you with 2HP left.

This game keeps going down the drain with every season it’s a shame. You would think by adding healing to every class DPS would go up but you keep nerfing everything????

[unkempt cloak]

Please report them in-game! Can you send me their username and ID so that I can escalate too?

[frozen tree]

You’re talking about sword, right? I agree melee weapons need a massive buff but as a longtime sword main the 74 damage slash is fine, the lunge is what you’re using most of the time and that’s what needs to be buffed (back to 140). If you want to improve with sword, learn the combos and focus on dash management!

[cinder cedar]

Replace terminal attack with bank it, please?

[radiant blade]

Spawns sucks

[wraith gale]

can you pls buff things more and not nerf as much?

[supple pumice]

I just want to say that I really appreciate Embark for trying their best at supporting the game on Linux even with the new kernel level anti cheat coming! I've spent more than 500 hours in the game and bought every Battle pass... it would be really sad to lose all that. So thanks!!

[twilit sand]

Please add a noise indicator when you get invited to a party. Sometimes I'm alt+tabbed and miss an invite

[junior rivet]

make flamethrower shoot longer pls

[thick birch]

give us ks-23 fans some new animations and make the gun hit-scan please. I love this weapon but it is in dire need of a buff of some variation !!

[zinc pier]

the ads sens multiplier and the scoped ads sens multiplier are already separate values in both controller and mnk settings. the former affects all iron and reflex sights (which means nearly every sight in the game), and the latter only affects the sniper and the thermal bore

if you dislike focal length sens scaling for scoped weapons but like it for others, you can keep it on and turn your scoped zoom sens above 100% to counteract the focal scaling which slows it down. I keep mine at 150%, which keeps it slightly slower than my base sensitivity, but still fast enough to flick.

and if you like the slower sensetivity for scoped weapons but dislike it for regular ones, you can turn the focal multiplier off and turn your scoped sens multiplier down. I find 30% without focal scaling is roughly similar as 150% with focal scaling

the settings we already have are proficient, you just need to play with them a bit in order to get them to feel right.

[tame vessel]

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

Spear: increase the first swing damage in the combo from 65 to 70 making it 70, 80, 90 and increase the spin attack damage to 120

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

Riot shield: increase the movement speed when blocking

R.357: increase the fire rate from 140 to 160 RPM

Dual blades: make the Deflect more consistent so it can block all melee weapons and increase the first swing damage from 50 to 55, increase the second swing damage from 60 to 65 and 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 and make it so the blades deflect pellets from shotguns more consistently because right now it's bugged and it deflects more pellets at a certain range

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

ARN-220: 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

Data Reshaper: increase the charges from 2 to 3 and decrease the cooldown from 26s to 20s

these emojis will highlight the message so anyone at embark can see them 🥇:🤠🤯😵:⚽️:grinning:😆🙃😇🫠

[untold hazel]

pls stop the chat cancel on playstation

[barren silo]

Embark this game would be a lot more fun if Kyoto was removed from the game files I think everyone would agree

[marsh crow]

thank you for the cl40 nerf. agreed remove kyoto and moving platforms

[ocean eagle]

Fuck the grenade launcher. It is still meta and your "nerfs" didn't do shit

[gloomy cradle]

Get rid of CL-40 and replace it with an AR or SMG. The gaming industry needs more of those

Also not a fan of the LTM playing 20 matches is gonna be a slog gonna wait for the next batch of challenges to come out so I can play it less

[remote loom]

if we can't have a good dagger, at least roll back the changes you have made to it thus far, cus this is just aids

[quaint swallow]

Blast Off helps identify the cheaters. You think that's the point of this dumb mode?

[rustic tinsel]

Do you know what 'Survivorship bias' is? It’s a logical fallacy where people only focus on those who made it through a selection process while ignoring those who didn’t. When only the players who managed to adapt to using melee weapons are still using them, of course the remaining stats will look good because only the successful ones are left. Anyone who wasn’t good at using melee weapons would’ve just stopped playing them. That’s why, objectively, there have always been fewer melee users than gun users.

So making balance decisions based solely on stats without playing the weapon yourself is absurd. The fact that only a few people are using it means it’s already a weapon for experts. And if only experts remain, of course the stats will look good. And If people are asking for a nerf, it usually means they don’t even use the weapon themselves. Look at Pike. It’s one of the strongest weapons right now, but you don’t see nearly as people crying for a nerf. Why? Because the majority of this game’s players are mediums (actually embark says). And naturally, people don’t ask for nerfs on weapons they like and use themselves.

But I’m NOT saying Pike should be nerfed. What I’m saying is that the other weapons should be buffed to the same level.

Fighting against niche weapons requires a different approach than fighting against guns. But instead of adapting, a bunch of dumb players keep whining for nerfs because they can’t be bothered to change their gadgets or playstyle.

Instead of nerfing, just buff the alternatives. That way, the players who use those weapons don’t feel unfairly punished, and those using other weapons will enjoy having more competitive options. Everyone wins. So why do you only nerf? Nerfs should be handled with surgical precision, not through nonsense like slashing a weapon’s dmg by 25%.

Pls revert the nerfs to sword, dagger, and sledge. All melee weapons needed their pre-nerf stats, and that’s why they were originally set that way.

[cloud zodiac]

Can we pls add a queueing weight where large parties are more likely to go against other large parties bc I'm tired of trying to relax while playing sweaty 4 stacks in "casual". (Also SBMM 😃 )

[fiery harness]

the game feels so rigged recently. lol this is coming from someone with over 1,000 hours of playtime and 28k elims.

[indigo timber]

Can I get a rez? 😭

[rough storm]

too bad for us the devs love it though

[neat yoke]

the game feels so FABULOUS recently. lol this is coming from someone with over 400 hours of playtime and 11k elims.

[bold moth]

I understand why we have it, but could there be more loose restrictions on body paint/face paint/tattoos?
wanted to put the Aurum Facade on my Light since their jacket's gold, but it removes Sacred Shadow
tbh would be cool if we could stack as many body/face paints & tattoos as we want
maybe to prevent those types of people from abusing it, each decal applied lowers the total opacity of all the equipped decals

[echo urchin]

Please, for the love of God, can you stop making stuff clunky as a balancing approach?!

No animation cancels. Juno pads dont immediately activate underneath people. Used the winch? Well now the KS is frozen. Babysit the heal ball.

It’s so tedious and frustrating.

[drifting topaz]

Lower the CL40 splash damage.

The blast radius and self damage nerf wasn't enough, you need to tweak the damage on this thing. The gun is so easy and forgiving to use it can't have the damage it has currently.

Also please give us SHAK-50 animations

[ebon vault]

Any chance we can get an option to listen to in game music during matches and also a "join party" request? Rather annoying having no way to communicate with friends that you wanna be invited/join

Please change the dual blades so they deal 63/63 DMG per attack

[digital shoal]

Bummer. I wish this was more clear. I feel like it should be different.

[paper ivy]

please let us switch scopes within the practice arena and test them all out. I cant imagine what reason there'd possibly be for not allowing that, as its a main reason for a lot of people like myself to use the practice arena in the first place. To jump into a game having not tried a new scope is awkward and having to put on different scopes to enter the practice arena and leave and repeat is very tedious. I just don't understand why that hasn't already been incorporated at this point...

[crude salmon]

embark really is just so fucking out of touch its insane. why even have a discord if you dont care the slightest bit. the game is in the worst place it has ever been before and do you know what would fix it?? literally anyone on embark actually playing the game. i dont understand it how are you gonna work so hard on something and then not even fucking like playing it???(if the devs dont even enjoy their own game how are we supposed to) if literally any of you people played your own game you would realize how awful it feels and how garbage the balancing is. this game is so boring now. you so very desperately want to be boring and unremarkable for some reason. you had such a unique and crazy game that people were constantly praising for feeling new and different and yet season after season you are constantly trying to make it more basic more dull and more like every other fps slop game out there. its not going to attract players from those games because you are still doing it worse than those games. you wont attract new players all you are doing is driving away old players and the people who enjoyed the game you made not the game you think you are creating. the game is just so disappointing now

[dry kiln]

The Light class Cloak ability has now been nerfed three times, but this latest change feels like a step too far. While earlier adjustments were somewhat tolerable, this one strips the ability of nearly all its usefulness. At mid-range around 20 meters cloaked players remain far too easy to see, appearing more like faded outlines than anything truly hidden. The shift toward a “hide-and-seek” playstyle, as suggested in the patch notes, simply doesn’t work in real matches. Even standing still, which should enhance stealth, does little to reduce visibility—players can still be tracked with ease. Rather than acting as real invisibility, Cloak feels more like a translucent filter that barely conceals the user. This change doesn’t improve balance; it discourages stealth entirely while failing to address the core issue that’s been there all along.

[twin helm]

cl40 is still in the game until its not i dont think ill be playing anymore

[dusky lotus]

Why is light nerfed so much when hevy and medium is by far more op, ya I quit this game

[icy shuttle]

Imo a weapon that can shoot that fast shouldn't one tap, sledge hammer and snipers Im fine with

[dusty igloo]

The sledge was nerfed because of the winch claw, almost all of the "pro" players were using winch claw.
Ive been a goo sledge since season 1 and never once even considered running winch. And now getting nerfed like this is painful cause I swear with all my might, winch being nerfed would of also made the sledge win rate go WAY down.
The winch claw is often frustrating to fight, it goes through shields, when its fired, it floats in the spot for a second, and walking into that gets you winched, it cancels melee attacks (which can be argued for, however I want the way it works to be slightly changed), and the stun effect usually lasts longer then the actual winch which is the main issue.
What I want changed, is for the winch to just outright miss if they dont hit it, dont leave it floating there.
And also make it so that the winched player gains back control a second earlier, so they can dash, or jump pad, or demat or whatever else. This is the main reason the lower ttk was frustrating, because the winch didnt let them combat it.
And for the winch cancelling melee attacks, I can see the arguments for it "parrying", however, when my character has an animation of him putting ALL of his might, years of training and hard work into putting out the most devestating attack, when that animation is a frame from dealing damage, and an enemy winches and the EXACT moment that winch connects, I get stunned and then can't attack again for a century after the winch ends, thats super frustrating.
I say a winch should only cancel upon pulling in a certain distance, so if I get winched whilst next to them, no animation cancel, but if I get winched from 3 meteres or more, then I get stunned.
And the sledge combos should be a thing again, it just raised the skill ceiling, it wasnt busted but it made the weapons better, and most importantly, it actually made it possible to win against a dash light.
FIX GOO SLEDGE, let melee hit through goo

[patent wind]

embark please create a private feedback group of players from each level like other games do (if you dont do that already) so we can get to the root of problems. yeah people will never all agree on a change, but i think there are a lot of scenarios where certain things cause metas (ie cerb was op because healing was trash, now healing is extra prevalent and cerb is falling off a little) yet we focused on the gun itself. we need to look more at things that happen universally across all skill levels then making changes based on a skill levels input. i wish the game could be balanced for high elo but thats not realistic, for example nerfing sledge. high elo complained that it was too easy to get value out of and now its useless in low elo.

[lapis basin]

The dagger,sword,sledgehammer nerf... I’m honestly losing all interest in the game because of these changes. I can use pretty much every weapon and every class, so I thought I wouldn’t care what got nerfed, as long as it was reasonable. But when weapons I used to enjoy are now so weak they’re practically unplayable, the game just becomes less and less fun. It feels like Embark just said, “Too much hassle to balance. Just delete it.”

There were players who only used melees. How are they supposed to take a patch that basically removes those weapons from the game?
Do you just want to make this into a game where only ARs and DMRs are viable?Then, what’s the point of playing this game?
Try to remember why people liked this game in the first place.

"These adjustments are separate from the broader melee quality-of-life improvements we’re planning for the future."

Don’t just say it. You need to actually revert the melee nerfs.
As the patch notes said, melee sweeps and melee quality-of-life should be handled separately. Right now, melee is practically unusable in WT and ranked.
Please, actually play the game before making balance changes.
Even just a little each day, so you can feel the actual balance for yourselves instead of just listening to the whining of whiners.

Melee has to hit a certain dmg threshold to even be viable. Since melee must has to get up close to the enemy, offense is always the best defense. The only way to improve the survivability and viability of melees is to give them enough dmg.

I don't want to give such harsh feedback.But I do it because I love this game. I can’t just sit back and watch you ruin it.

Sword needs a 140 dmg lunge. All melee weapons needed their pre-nerf stats, which is why it was done.

[stoic fox]

I think every now and then you should run a game mode with experimental balancing for changes that might not just be numbers based. Like changing how gadgets, abilities etc function/interact. I see a lot of suggestions for changes in abilities that COULD work but I think would need mass testing to actually get an idea about.

[steep anchor]

add matchmaking to power shift so that players not capable of teamplay do not get matched with me

[ornate sage]

Day 5 of asking embark for more outfit slots please thank you!

can we nerf the pike already man. this is just the xp all over again. way too easy to use and does way too much damage

BUFF SWORD

#SaveMele

[feral shard]

Day 37 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)

[pliant whale]

this LTM is fucking garbage, the hitboxes are garbage, the netcode is garbage, the matchmaking is pure garbage

[orchid osprey]

rework dash, what are you waiting for. your netcode can barely handle normal gameplay sometimes, what the fuck

[wary flax]

Blast Off is easily the worst thing I've ever played in THE FINALS and I hate how a daily quest has been replaced with a mandatory Blast Off, essentially forcing me to play this garbage mode I hate or slowing down battle pass progress. Stop adding event quests to daily quests and limit them to their own event tab. This also goes for the Wheel of Fortunte and its clones, which should never come back period.

[molten jackal]

Need to nerf the longevity of invisibility. A player can literally just hit and disappear over and over again, potentially forever. This is incredibly frustrating, especially for long range enemies.

[uneven dagger]

Blast off is easily the best thing I’ve ever played in the finals and I love the daily quests making play this fire game mode keep this up, love the LTM’s, maybe someday we can get a randomized game mode with the LTM’s as mini games, we’ll get prop hunt soon for sure

Also bring back wheel I liked free stuff

[untold hazel]

FUCK MOVING PLATFORMS DELETEDSE IT

[surreal marsh]

ok i was about to dunk on yah for the filter in the new game event, but now i like it after two matches, good job

[lilac pivot]

Idk if this is a feature or not but when I get Winch clawed by a heavy and I am trying to shoot him with my last bullet of my double barrel it forces me to reload even though I have one left. This has happened to me multiple times across mutiple games and has caused me to lose fights I should have won

[undone dagger]

please fix interaction interruptions with crouching, it has costed me countless games while stealing

[cursive urchin]

Pike has an excessive ammo capacity relative to its damage output, and its hipfire performance is disproportionately strong.

[hollow sage]

Please readdress your melee. The "buff" didn't even address the community concerns. Name one weapon with a slower ttk than sledge. You can't and every other weapon has at least 2x the range of a sledge.

[errant crater]

SPEED UP ALL RELOADS

[thorny lynx]

Ya'll need to shut the entire game down., 24hrs.... Fix EVERYTHING that is broken and then try again. This is not it

[shrewd echo]

Bro, Battlefield Hardline Bank Heist game mode would be sick as hell for the finals. The extraction of the money and having to bring it to locations. I was kind of thinking on the lines of like the Team Fortress 2 of having two sided flipped maps and you have to extract from the other teams base or area and bring it back to your own base or area while dealing with digital debauchery. Being able to steal dropped coins or vault from dead players and get it back to your own extraction area. Each base has like 3 cash vaults or something you have to bust in and grab and go...

[supple mortar]

Revert sword. The nerf was undeserved. If it needed a hit, it should have been the melee cleave being reduced, not completely gutting the dmg. (But it didnt)

[young drum]

Buff the lh1 .to 44 damage PLEASE

[exotic vector]

I have compiled some data to better elaborate my point. So I am playing 45 sens, 100% zoom sens and 80% scoped and no focal sens. On 1200 dpi which gives me 2.5 turns on hip and on all of the scope types but on sniper it’s 1.5 turns(let’s keep this simple measurement) on 50cm wide mousepad. This result is not bad, and I feel almost comfortable but I can’t get to desired 1 turn without losing what I am used to on all other scopes. When I do what you have suggested(which I have tried exactly before and made recheck today) 150% scoped and addition of focal on -> I get ~1 turn on sniper, perfect right?wrong!, it’s universal now to every weapon, all the ads weapons align to 1 turn, don’t tell me you could track people flying around effectively with such sense. TLDR this option should exist as simple scope multiplier, with possibility to lower or increase multiplier for x1-x8 scopes like it exists in other shooters. Otherwise, if you want to have all the weapons 1:1 to hip fire but tweak sniper sens to 2:1 it’s impossible. Also 95% of players would not do what me or you have done and waste hours to figure out correct sens, they would try sniper-> see that it feels weird -> forget about weapons existance. P.S. mb on high sense it’s better, but I feel like lower you base hip fire sense is, worse the difference. @zinc pier

[nova pilot]

( This is more of a question that would be really cool if a dev answered )
This is something I highly doubt will be a yes, considering almost no other games have the feature, especially shooters. But will there ever be a point where we can upload or create our own custom clothing/accessories? but it being regulated and restricted?

Or Even Community Made Maps?

[thick cipher]

Dear Embark, I didn't know some mediums could keep the dash outside of the LTM, please I wanna use it too! Give all mediums a dash that has double the range of light's dash please 😩

(Just kidding, please ban this guy, this was simply outrageous.. and hilarious 😂)

[drifting topaz]

Lower the CL40 splash damage.

The blast radius and self damage nerf wasn't enough, you need to tweak the damage on this thing. The gun is so easy and forgiving to use it can't have the damage it has currently.

Also please give us SHAK-50 animations

bro give me region search or location search, wtf is going on with this games dog water damage

@molten valley seems like there is and mine is set to NA but the servers do not feel like im in NA at all, i dunno what is happening but the damage i deal is horrendous compared to what i receive.

[molten valley]

Isn’t there region search? In options

[lapis saddle]

THAT IS EXTREMELY REAL PLS EMBARK LISTEN TO THAT GUY HES GOT ALL THE POINT

[unkempt bridge]

Wasnt a dash, he landed on top of the canister and had some janky physics magic happen lol

Revert dagger nerfs pretty please? The angle makes it so unbelievably inconsistent with the current netcode and the charge time is literally slower than the ttk of every gun, and you are slower than a heavy the entire duration of the charge. Beside all the nerfs done to it the damage is abysmal, like why does throwing knives do 60 dmg per (the same as dagger primary) and throws 2 and can 1 shot lights to the head from range but current dagger can't even heavy stab qm combo a light which is almost impossible to land a backstab on if they are using dash.

[honest elk]

Add the number 00 for contestant

[empty junco]

EMBARK PLEASE, revert the ling system sensitivity. It was good before but now i cant ping exactly where i want, it always aim assist to objectives instead of the exact place im trynna ping.
As a SoloQ i feel this change affects my gameplay alot since i comunicate alot via Ping System. Right now i cant be precise with the Pings caus it always assists me to an objective. Too sensitive

[shy fern]

Bro stop begging for a dagger buff, that weapon is bad enough already. 1-tap a medium with a backstab!? You just have to play like a rat, no one likes it when your just chilling playing the game and all of a sudden some light dashes behind you and you're dead before the fight has even started

[naive narwhal]

Dagger has a slower ttk towards mediums than mediums have towards lights, you are statistically at an advantage when you are fighting a dagger, not to mention being against a wall hard counters them

[slender girder]

• Change respawn timer in Power Shift to 10 seconds always.
• Allow us to deny defibs.
• In Quickplay, allow us to switch classes even if we get revived.
• Stop including LTM's in the daily contracts.

Just some quality of life changes to make the game less annoying.

Also btw. Real bad choice in making the equips slower. Why make a game feel worse with another change noone asked for.

Is there even a insult for players who are standing afk and feed other players with kills? If someone doesnt accept the playstyle of a teammate, they are very upset and start to behave like a little kid : ( My last match was a bombing of insults like "end your life" and other even homophobic insults. Its very crucial that this seems like it will not be banned

[junior rivet]

all the ltm needs is the turret buffed (for the mode) and to fix the pad not instantly bouncing you if you spawn it in yourself which makes it very useless if you need to just bounce yourself up to dodge something, but also would be good for main game stuff aswell. pls fix those, they're kinda making the ltm not as fun since they kinda suck without changes. other than that (and even then) its super fun and anyone complaining makes no sense. I love it so much, thanks embark

[odd cedar]

PLEASE make the H+ guns healing scale off of movement, this actually just made me get off, 458 damage and i didn't kill him is absurd

[signal cosmos]

Nr 3 would be abused

[normal gyro]

Now that we have the Training Dojo with smarter AI dummies and whatnot, I'd be interested in seeing a new LTM where it's like, 3 players fending off against harder and harder waves of training dummies. A survival mode, basically.

Could have dummy Lights, Mediums, and Heavies primarily using melee weapons just running at you, maybe the occasional one with an actual gun.

Some of them could be able to use abilities too, like if there's a Dummy Light it might have Evasive Dash, or a Dummy Heavy with sledge that will throw a Dome Shield towards you so it can move up unharmed

Idk, just seems like something that could be fun haha

[tame chasm]

fix the dogshit servers

[halcyon patio]

Cerberus nerf was so unnecesary it should be reverted

[fading flame]

for the the heal ball: decrease the charge up time, and decrease the amount of healing. this will make it more fun to run around with, but less one sided if it's a 1v1.

[harsh cliff]

Again remove CL40, this gun is just toxic, it's breaking the whole game, please remove this toxic gun from the game. I really don't understand why you added this trash gun to the game.
Lobbies are just abusing the gun like crazy

[crystal silo]

I don't feel it should be removed. There was a time nobody was using it, and they released the new skin this season so a lot of ppl are using it. I just feel it should deal more to the player although they recently increased that. To have it work like the heavy's GL would be kinda cool as well

[granite gyro]

revert sword nerf

[edgy glen]

Since all melee are horrible against teamplay and only really work in 1v1 combat, why cant most of them hit multiple people at once, would really help ensure melee is viable in THE FINALS

[glacial geyser]

With such long queue times for ranked, you'd think they would allow us to play in the practice mode while we wait (like most other online games)

Wow, a 4 hour cooldown on posting messages in #👂┇game-feedback ?
That's almost as long as the queue times

Day 15: Hi

Big wishlist:
Revert sword nerf (PLEASE give it 140 lunge damage, it needs it)
Buff dagger (so much you could do. I think you must: let it backstab turrets and fix hit-reg, then you should do one or more of: reduce charge time, increase backstab angle, slowdown only when fully charged)
Revert sledge nerf (at least the left click part), the range buff was nice but not what it needed
Also with the sledge buff, nerf winch! It’s the problem!
Give riot shield’s baton a wider hitbox, as right now it’s really janky to try and hit lights
Buff dual blades dps
Make breach drill faster and a maybe a bigger explosion
Bring back grenade grappling, and make it easier or reduce grapple cooldown
Make m11 a close range option, XP a mid range one, and ARN a longer range one. Same thing with AKM, FCAR, and famas, respectively
Spawns kinda suck right now, wiped teams spawn in front of people with the cashbox and block the cashout
Fix performance and freezing
Let us unlock the ultimate battlepass rewards as the $20 tier, and the 20 extra levels be part of the $30
There may be more, but this is what I think for now, and I’m open to suggestions and (constructive) criticism

i just want Bank It back at this point...

[raven garnet]

I think to many people complain and want nerfs on weapons because of the 1v1 capabilities it has. and that's unfair to the gun as sure it could be very strong in 1v1 but this a team game. double barrel isn't worth much if you get in there. get a kill but if they working as a team in the team game you deff going down. we need to change focus on how it effects team play and team work. cause this isnt cod and 1v1 fights dont make you reach the finals. struggling with lights. certain guns or play styles? stop fighting them solo and instead work with the team. youd be surprised how much of these " OP guns " dont seem op when faced agaisnt people working and fighting together.

[novel trench]

Kyoto Best Map!!1! Glory To Tokugawa Shogunate!!

[honest elk]

add the number 00

[rustic tinsel]

In 4.6.0 patch, at sword,
Decreased the length of the secondary attack’s hit sweep by 55cm.

The nerf was too harsh, so in 5.8.0 they reverted it:
Increased the length of the Sword’s secondary attack hit sweep by 55cm.

Back to where it was.

Common sense tells us that just nerfing the hit sweep made the sword a very weak weapon, and you recognized this and reverted it. How does it make sense to apply a nerf that is even more deadly than that? As everyone knows, dmg nerf is a more serious nerf than a hit sweep nerf.
And from 140 to 105? That’s a whopping 35 dmg, 25% of its dmg. Nerfs should be handled with surgical precision, not through nonsense like slashing a weapon’s dmg by 25%.
After that, the hammer went through the same thing. It doesn’t make sense logically, but it happened. It seems like no one on the balance patch team has played melee in WT and Ranked. If they had, they would know how hard it is to respond against shooting from high ground with melees.

Melee has to hit a certain dmg threshold to even be viable. Since melee must get up close to the enemy, offense is always the best defense. The only way to improve the survivability and viability of melees is to give them enough dmg.

"We’re going to continue to monitor the Sword and explore some alternative changes that might allow us to nudge the lunge dmg back up."

"These adjustments are separate from the broader melee quality-of-life improvements we’re planning for the future."

Start keeping your promises. Honestly, I really doubt whether melee needed a nerf at all.
But if I were to make one suggestion for the sword (even though I see no reason it needs a nerf),
At 140 dmg, make it so that when the sword multi-hits, first targets take 140 dmg, and non-primary targets take slightly less dmg. The current 25% dmg reduction is trash, so even non-primary targets should take more dmg than that.

Revert melees. All melee weapons needed their pre-nerf stats, and that’s why they were originally set that way.

OH MY FUCKING GOD I HAVE NEVER ONCE GONE INTO THE PRACTICE RANGE WITHOUT MY GUNS GLITCHING IN THE HISTORY OF THIS GAME. NOW I CANT EVEN ADS.

plz fix

[vagrant lake]

Blastoff is nice, I love the unique styling done to it
CL-40 nerf is perfect
fix winchclaw, heavy doesn't have three hands for what I can see! (able to shoot while clawing, clawing through walls, turning me into a potato like the stun gun did and we got that taken away)
Allow color customization for reticles

please add more social features, request to join party isn't really a hard option to add (just reverse invite) or ability to DM friends so I could ask for it

Ultimate pass $20 and $30 for extra levels + ultimate pass, initially when I bought it, I didn't think it'd come with extra levels (and I'd rather start at 0 instead of 20)

[olive fulcrum]

Will ARC Raiders support Linux? (even with kernel level anticheat) ?

[untold egret]

Xp 54 is too nerfed rn I can’t do any damage anymore I went from averaging 15 kills on team deathmatch per round to like 8

[proper chasm]

Please fix the thermal vision bug where people that are using invisibility become invisible when standing Infront of the sky box. It's whole point was to be a hard counter for invisibility and this has been a problem since S2.
Please nerf the high damage weapons. In competitive right now the only weapons you will see a group of high ranks carrying rn are the high damage per shot weapons like the pike, revo, repeater sure the meta is more varied than it was in S2 don't get me wrong but it just ends up being more toxic when you get targeted by a whole team and have your health bar taken away in 2 shots from all 3 playeres.
Please fix the match making system in casual play. The fact that the MM system prioritises unfavourable match ups for better players has turned so many of the people I try to get into the game away from it because matching against a full 5 man of people that only play power shift is fucking awful when they've all got revo, repeater, pike, Sh1900.

[covert yacht]

This game needs MM like im tired of facing ruby teams that are just boosting and cheating plus teaming with others like im 35k and facing teams with 50k and more and also no counterplay to getting beamed acorss the entire map by SMG's but lets not nerf recoil of weapons that can beam lets nerf all meele weapons cause they are to strong VS hospital point on seoul

[rigid shale]

i got a lv 9 and a level 10 teammate in WT & i'm level 90. i'd rather wait for a more even match than get a quick queue with beginners.

[bold schooner]

2 games in a row played with boosted plat who do 700 combat per round and leave in time of match. Also we blocked him but game don't think so. If I will not receive rank points back I will delete this game and never play it again.

[hazy skiff]

Add horse

[coarse stag]

the gasme is amazing

[ivory copper]

Please give a buff to melee. It is easily the most weak thing in the game now, and it sucks because of how fun melee used to be. I can kind of understand the sledge nerf, but dagger did not need to lose backstabs on objects, especially with how, when charged, the dagger player moves slower than a heavy. Also thanks for making an awesome game!

[noble heron]

So i cannot hear people, but they can hear me in game
how do i fix this??

[fast lion]

Replace heavy's melee elbow with a kick that if charged can kick debree and do damage to enemies

[pearl cairn]

I have a little bit of feedback on heavy weapons. First of all, me love SA1216. Funny auto shotgun go brrrr. Second, I would like a range buff to spear. It really does not feel good to have your hits miss and to get sniper headshot because your weapon just didn't do enough damage. Especially with how little damage the spear does in most situations and in comparison to other melee weapons, particularly sledge, I think a range buff would get its player count up. The MGL-32 isn't seeing a lot of play to my knowledge, and maybe that's for the best, but I've only seen it used once in the entirety of season 7 on one heavy in TDM. I have an idea to improve goo gun, where a secondary fire would exhaust all ammunition but instantly construct a 3-goo tall 7-wide wall, like an improved goo grenade. I think this would both put goo gun into the meta while being relatively balanced with the recent changes to goo while also allowing the heavy to use other gadgets in the place of what would normally be a shield or a barricade, since they would have this new feature. It would also make fortifications with the goo gun take less time and allow for further fortifications. In general, I really love how the heavy weapons feel. They all feel powerful, hefty, and ready to do some major damage. Great work with that, the game just feels great playing as a heavy.

Hey Embark, how about a sci-fi space map theme with low-gravity zones?
gadgets can be synergized with gravity as We could be propelled by explosions for exemple. it could be there some small planets accesible with pads like mario galaxy

ps: buff melees (exept sword )

[lucid frigate]

why is it the match making just puts me against people that just destroy me every game??? can someone help with this? at this point the game is not enjoyable anymore and i want to quit but i do really like this game...

[burnt notch]

yea ultimate pass is premium+ with extra skins and 1k multibucks

[sleek marsh]

I reached ruby, got 1.2k h in this game and play since OB1. Imo the balancing over all is rly rly good right now, ecxept Cl40 which is rly frustrating for casual players as well as all the melee weapons. I think its not possible to get these kind of weapons into a "balanced" spot, cuz of the core how these weapons work. Melees and cl40 will allways be rly strong and super frustrating against casuals cuz of the lack of aim and general position knowledge, as well as the overall forgivness of the CL itself. Cl40 as a gadget, which just causes destruction(idk like 2 hits for a wall) but not much player dmg might be an idea. Hammer as well, like in R6. Increase the destruction, but dont consider it as a weapon. There is a niche playerbase that main these weapons tho, but the majority hates it, so there has to be a compromise in the future to makes things viable but "fun" to play against. I personally dont have a problem with those weapons but think they decrease the overall game quality cuz of random mass destruction, and they r ofc op against casuals if they r in a "balanced" spot comp wise. A guy, who plays maybe 1h after work or barely 5h wont stand a chance against a barely decent sword, hammer, CL and will just be annoyed which is like at least 80% of the playerbase i would guess. Other topic: Idk how ppl can yap that much about cheaters and matchmaking. I allways SoloQ, ive never seen a single cheater even in high elo lobbys. I allways get decent mates, not the best, not the worst. We r not talking about cod, a game with millions of players. I dont want 10min Q, just for slightly better mates and enemies. Overall im super happy with the state of the game right now, all additions r fun, awesome, just perfect, especially the new map, Healing Gun and BP. The only thing im missing right now is some more veriety in auto weapons, like gimme a vector, ump or AEK.

EMBARK please explain to me how it's core to the gameplay that you have to fuck over the optimization of the game so that i have to have stutters and frame drops every few seconds so that i can't aim but my team can pin point headshots on me? Or are you going to try to gasslight me again that it's a problem on my side? How are you even brave enough to ask for a 30 dollar battlepass version but you can't get your servers and game performance straight. Game is getting worse and worse every update and is going the footsteps of mobile game monetization.

This game needs to fix it’s legacy battlepass system. I hate top scoring in a match, being stuck with absolute morons, yet getting not even one point for the system. It’s already outrageously big, requiring hundreds of points to even progress, so wasting 10 minutes is just insulting

[broken crest]

DEAR EMBARK TEAM
DEAR EMBARK TEAM
I have one thing to say and that is that you should buff mele weapons like sword hammer and dagger but why are you nerfing them at all I haven't seen anyone complaining in the community except (appoh) so I ask you if you don't want to lose players to buff them in the next update thanks

[fading cobalt]

MGL32 needs:

• Slightly faster projectile speed.

• Less bounce when used from height and when fired close to the user's feet.

• Nades should break and pass through objects like balloons, wooden shutters/the windows on Kyoto, and props like chairs and pots (same with KS-23 slugs) without stopping/blowing up. They should pass through as if they are not there.

• "Aiming" should show the initial arc of the shot like nades do.

• 5-10 damage from the nade hitting an enemy directly.

• If they insist on having linear explosion scaling, then there should be a minimal damage. Meaning that instead of dropping all the way to 1 damage at the outermost edge, it should only get as low as ~35 damage.

Lower the CL40 splash damage.

The blast radius and self damage nerf wasn't enough, you need to tweak the damage on this thing. The gun is so easy and forgiving to use it can't have the damage it has currently.

Also please give us SHAK-50 animations

I think the sbmm needs some work I either get put in games with people twice my level who go 20 and 1 or with completely new players who spend the game exploring the arena. Does anyone know what the matchmaking is based on, because it doesn't seem to be levels or time played or anything at all. Not complaining just wondering why this is

[feral shell]

Can we please get custom servers? I've realized after 700 hours why I can't stand playing this game anymore and it's the class system. There's far too many cheesy loadouts that result in unwinnable 1v1s. Solo queue players don't get the luxury of coordinated teammates so relying on team play to balance against abilities/broken weapons is kind of a fallacy. Losing a 1v1 because I made the mistake of existing near a light player or because I'm fighting the incredible hulk isn't fun. Being able to customize the game to fit what a player wants could really attract more players. I keep coming back to the game because the core gunplay and movement mechanics are great (this is the only game that comes close to scratching the COD itch) but get immediately reminded how miserable it is to play because of the class system.

(dont bother replying to me, my message is for the devs - i dont care what any of you think youre all morons)

[tidal monolith]

They should add a feature to "favorite" weapon skins for outfits and then an option to "select from favorites" randomly every time you spawn, rather than just a random skin you own every match

[real wyvern]

Could we get a healbeam buff?
That thing is soooo slow and chokes when you try to heal a heavy teammate.

If medium is supposed to be the support class with a specialisation for healing, it probably should be more effective than the gadgets of other 2 classes.

If healbeam would heal faster a bit and either had way more capacity or straight up infinite capacity, it would be strong. Finally something to consider over demat.

Right now light has more heal potential and can heal a heavy in split of a second with a gadget.
Heavy can place a healball that heals everyone in the team around it and does not prevent the heavy from shooting. It also works even if heavy died.
The class that "specialises" in healing is arguably the worst at it.
Just my 2 cents

[quaint swallow]

Blast off is a great cheating identification mode. Should have autobans constantly

[hazy skiff]

dunno if theres something with the servers rn but borderline unplayable freezing every 2 seconds

[cyan torrent]

recent update seems to have ruined sword hit detection

[sonic arrow]

New destruction mechanics are tanking my frames worse than ever before

[molten jackal]

So a few things could go a long way here.

1. Decrease the amount of time a light build can cloak. They can turn it off and on almost endlessly as it stands right now.
2. Buff damage on the longer range weapons. If you get a headshot with a sniper rifle, it should be an instand death on medium and below. Same for the bow, full draw headshot, instant death.
3. I admit, there needs to be a damage reduction on the grenade launchers. They blow when you're playing against them. Either damage nerf or reduce magazine sizes.
4. Need to do something about melee.My biggest complaint is not being able to outrun a melee as a heavy ands the two hit kill is ridiculous. I'm not saying nerf them but adding "knockback" to heavy melee would be a big help. By knockback I mean like 6-10 ft.

[hallow wyvern]

Are you playing another game dude akimbo kan literally wipe a full team HLM with full mag lol

Devs!!! Please don't do any of this!!! Thank you!

[dull trench]

The stutter engine is known to stutter call them surprised? why did they upgrade to UE5 if UE4 was perfectly ok. It's embarks fault what engine they pick, and it's on embark if their choice was a bad one. We can call them out about that and we should not cope and shift the blame to other people if epic did not literary force them to use this engine. Game is just getting worse and worse performance and they know it, yet they think their shitty running, full of cheaters (mostly in ranked) game is worth 30 bucks for a battlepass while trying to look like "the underdog" which they aren't, they are just as greedy as all the other mobile games and it's just the start. Just look at apex and their timeline after they introduced tiered battlepasses.

[solid isle]

The Double Barrel is the least fun weapon in the game to fight. The time to kill is nearly unbeatable as a heavy, and light movement is so fast (and easy) that you will barely get a hit in on them before they kill you. The sledge nerf made it nearly impossible to counter them and the spear is just a generally useless weapon, especially against something that moves fast and can 2 tap you.

[acoustic comet]

The LTM Blast Off would have been fun as an Easter egg, but it’s not fun as a game mode — especially one that is required to be played repeatedly in order to complete normal daily contracts

[fleet socket]

Feedback 1 is already a thing tho

Activating cloak consumes 33% of your overall meter, punishing repeated uses.

[latent niche]

Guess I can't play until I get a new computer... I'd appreciate you taking time to make some serious performance improvements. Your destruction overhaul killed my frames, it's completely unplayable for low-spec users now.

Bullets follow me around corners, hit reg is nonexistent. i also have to spam lmb to place a jump pad, only to walk over it without anything happening. like wtf is the point of a game with innovative movement and destruction if your servers are so dogshit people can never even appreciate the mechanics that set this game far and above so many other shooters.

Day 38 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

Embark ive played your game every season and this one has the worst balance yet. Please stop pandering to new players and let Gustav or some single human re-balance the whole sandbox to be more fun. I regularly play light and honestly the class is too OP right now and has been for a while. There are also too many gadgets for defending cashouts(really too many gadgets in general) and there should be more for stealing money I.E. a passive money siphon you can place on enemy cashouts. Dematerializer has been way too powerful for like 5 seasons.

Everyone is literally using 3-4 guns right now and its a shame to see. I love this game and hope for the best next season, cause this is objectively the worst season yet

[shut verge]

That's one way to make the game incredibly unfun lol

[frozen tree]

I feel like it would be better to maybe increase how fast fire deals damage, like not increasing damage just making it deal it faster. Maybe only for flamethrower, maybe not

[dry kiln]

The Cloak ability for the Light class has been chipped away by multiple nerfs, and this latest one pushes it past the point of viability. At distances of 20 meters and beyond, cloaked players are still clearly visible even to other Light class users. With a sniper rifle, spotting a cloaked target feels effortless, as if they weren’t cloaked at all. Rather than providing true invisibility, the ability now resembles a weak visual filter that barely conceals the player. The “hide-and-seek” playstyle suggested in the patch notes may sound tactical on paper, but it simply doesn’t work in real matches. Even when standing still something that should theoretically improve stealth—your position remains obvious and easy to track. Instead of promoting stealth-based gameplay, this change further weakens an already struggling mechanic, while the core visibility issues continue to be ignored.

[warm zealot]

Bring back CB1 white suit

[vague maple]

WT grind is painful can you please just either lower the overall points required or increase the points gained for not coming first.

[rustic tinsel]

Do you know what 'Survivorship bias' is? It’s a logical fallacy where people only focus on those who made it through a selection process while ignoring those who didn’t. When only the players who managed to adapt to using melee weapons are still using them, of course the remaining stats will look good because only the successful ones are left. Anyone who wasn’t good at using melee weapons would’ve just stopped playing them. That’s why, objectively, there have always been fewer melee users than gun users.

So making balance decisions based solely on stats without playing the weapon yourself is absurd. The fact that only a few people are using it means it’s already a weapon for experts. And if only experts remain, of course the stats will look good. And If people are asking for a nerf, it usually means they don’t even use the weapon themselves. Look at Pike. It’s one of the strongest weapons right now, but you don’t see nearly as people crying for a nerf. Why? Because the majority of this game’s players are mediums (actually embark says). And naturally, people don’t ask for nerfs on weapons they like and use themselves.

But I’m NOT saying Pike should be nerfed. What I’m saying is that the other weapons should be buffed to the same level.

Fighting against niche weapons requires a different approach than fighting against guns. But instead of adapting, a bunch of dumb players keep whining for nerfs because they can’t be bothered to change their gadgets or playstyle.

Instead of nerfing, just buff the alternatives. That way, the players who use those weapons don’t feel unfairly punished, and those using other weapons will enjoy having more competitive options. Everyone wins. So why do you only nerf? Nerfs should be handled with surgical precision, not through nonsense like slashing a weapon’s dmg by 25%.

Pls revert the nerfs to sword, dagger, and sledge. All melee weapons needed their pre-nerf stats, and that’s why they were originally set that way.

[wary flax]

Don't try to hide the fact the game's SBMM is atrocious. Show us our opponent's current RS in ranked after the match.

The game also needs help with Interacting and immediately pulling your weapon out. It's so infuriating how common it is to attach to a zipline and the game forcing you to throw the Cash Box you're grabbing just because it doesn't know what to do. Please fix.

#SaveMele!

||FUCK CoD COMMUNITY ||

[fleet socket]

How would you rework it tho? It basically how it works irl but with less range

[odd sparrow]

The point of invisibility isn't to able to hide completely at closer ranges. Even if they can still see you, it still requires more effort and time for them to recognize you are an enemy, flick, and fire. That extra time it takes for them to process you can tip a fight in your favor. Also all my teammates are blind and deaf. Cloak is pretty hard to balance, but I believe it's in an okay spot right now.

[rugged orchid]

Light has already had the cloak ability nerfed enough.

[errant crater]

nah cloak is dogsht rn. Its only value is the on and off concealment during combat but that got nerfed to the ground and its way too visible. Thats why everyone is running dash rn. Cloak is only good against other lights. ..until they bring thermal vision

[narrow belfry]

I just want to say thank you to whatever idiot decided to give light the most broken heal gun in the game and then not making it a specialization it’s so damn strong it’s impossible to counter

[fading flame]

Heal ball is peak. No need to update the game anymore.

[slender girder]

Cloak shouldn't even be in the game imo. Just silly to me people can go invisible like that.

But I agree it's in a better spot. My first season I started using it as a noob deluxe and easily held a 3-4 k/d. Was just too OP and shouldn't even be in the game imo.

[rugged willow]

I would like to suggest a dedicated enemy ping button aside from the normal ping/communication wheel so I don't have to double tap the ping button every time. also add the option to automatically perform gesture emotes (hand emotes) when reviving a teammate.

can we at least make the glass part of the riot shield bullet proof? we're already the lowest dps melee😭

[quick coyote]

Bow needs a damage nerf, or to only be able to 1 shot at long ranges, not a heavy nerf please, maybe just leave us mediums with 1 hp for all I care, but give us a chance to react X3 (coming from a light / medium main)

melee needs buffs tbh so I don't agree with knockback/a nerf, it can be annoying yes, but they're underpowered :3 i recommend trying the weapon yourself, seeing how it works, and then exploiting it's weaknesses in the future, but a nerf is not the way to go,

Same with grenade launchers, but no huge buff needed for them, maybe some like 10 points of damage but they ain't op, so no nerf needed, just try them out yourself first :3

No invisd debuffed needed imo, you can spot them easily when they begin moving ^^

And a slight damage buff for snipers would be nice, ^^ even tho I don't use em X3

Would love an opt out of map option with longer wait time.

[restive pivot]

are you stupid? its an ability. its designed to be stronger than a fucking gadget. theres this thing called "going into layers of wall". if yall stop beiing a target practice sitting butt naked in the middle of an open field and actually recover inside layers of building then its gonna make demat less of a problem.

the genuine problem is the matchmaking. so far in this week i got 2 type of matches. Matches where I got fucked by 5 rubys and match where we stomped the shit out of the enemy and I didnt do jackshit. I swear to god bro this game has worse matchmaking than kranker and its genuinely embarrasing. this game's new players population is decreasing and now they're just matching me with people that cant quit cause they spend too much time in this game.

add a map voting system so no one ever has to suffer through a kyoto match again and then u can eventually silently delete the map since no one will ever play it anyways

[fast lion]

Again not really their fault the engine stutters, this game is one of the best optimized unreal 5 games I've played; but they can only do so much. I actually rarely get stutters on a 3060. It's fine to criticize the battlepass, but I think you're overreacting for the optimization

[stuck rock]

ok thern explain to me what happenes when you go into this "layered walls" room? they have 3 charges of demat. the audio que for this ability is one of the quietest btw. please explain to me what you do. i main heavy and as soon as a wall is demated i baricade, but oh no they have 3 charges. not to mention they recharge decently fast. thye difference is the fact that you can CLOSE the wall you open with 0 punishment. opening a wall is a comitment in a fight becasue it alowes you AND the enemy angles. if someone de mats the wall, pot shots you and closzes the wall before you can physically do anything, then how is this fair? compare this to heal beam and turret. its the obvious meta pick and its annoying when 1 medium has it. stack this ability for 9 CHARGES. i swear everyone has a 1 sided perspective of this game and its so funny. please go fight demat players that are ruby rank and go see what happens.

[rugged vapor]

[sterile canopy]

You make it sound unreasonably one-sided. The punishment is a short time delay and a used charge, and you can very much physically do something; it takes time for them to switch to their weapon, fire and then rematerialise; if they had good reflexes or were not taken by then in a raw damage fight that method would be actively good for the victim’s odds - of course in reality there is more utility than this.

[tawdry tree]

Nothing to do with cheating, you clearly have been ban because you've been toxic / insulted other players. Seeing how hard the punition is, you might also had some problematic speech (about minorities ?) I'm just guessing, I might be wrong

day 5 (and also day 4 i forgor) of asking for engimo embroidered hoodie on the merch store

[rustic tinsel]

The dagger,sword,sledgehammer nerf... I’m honestly losing all interest in the game because of these changes. I can use pretty much every weapon and every class, so I thought I wouldn’t care what got nerfed, as long as it was reasonable. But when weapons I used to enjoy are now so weak they’re practically unplayable, the game just becomes less and less fun. It feels like Embark just said, “Too much hassle to balance. Just delete it.”

There were players who only used melees. How are they supposed to take a patch that basically removes those weapons from the game?
Do you just want to make this into a game where only ARs and DMRs are viable?Then, what’s the point of playing this game?
Try to remember why people liked this game in the first place.

"These adjustments are separate from the broader melee quality-of-life improvements we’re planning for the future."

Don’t just say it. You need to actually revert the melee nerfs.
As the patch notes said, melee sweeps and melee quality-of-life should be handled separately. Right now, melee is practically unusable in WT and ranked.
Please, actually play the game before making balance changes.
Even just a little each day, so you can feel the actual balance for yourselves instead of just listening to the whining of whiners.

Melee has to hit a certain dmg threshold to even be viable. Since melee must has to get up close to the enemy, offense is always the best defense. The only way to improve the survivability and viability of melees is to give them enough dmg.

I don't want to give such harsh feedback.But I do it because I love this game. I can’t just sit back and watch you ruin it.

Sword needs a 140 dmg lunge. All melee weapons needed their pre-nerf stats, which is why it was done.

[compact ore]

Season 7 , blocklist still doesnt work… forced to play with people from my blocklist ? NO , thank you

[quick coyote]

The dagger 180 backstab is such BS
Literally dashing directly in front of me and instakilling me

[drifting topaz]

Lower the CL40 splash damage.

The blast radius and self damage nerf wasn't enough, you need to tweak the damage on this thing. The gun is so easy and forgiving to use it can't have the damage it has currently.

Also please give us SHAK-50 animations

[tawny oak]

make the servers more consistent, stop giving rng roles per player per match and make everything the same, make all weapons do the same damage every round/match, i dont know why the damage fluctuates through the game and is never the same, if one player joins or leaves the game cant handle it and rerolls the rng crap. i dont get how hard is it to make the match consistent and fair.

world tour servers seem to play better and register shots and give proper damage than quick time and it has less players than WT. it makes no sense.

ADD A DAMN SERVER FEEDBACK REPORT SO YOU CAN SHUT DOWN ALL THE DOG WATER INCONSISTENT UNSTABLE SERVERS!

[slender girder]

100% agree. I play 3-4 quickplay games per day and rely on daily contracts for progress. Now I'm expected to play 2 of those games in a mode I don't even like or enjoy the slightest.

This is sth that can make players who are on the fence finally quit the game. Players who stuck around to do their daily contracts, which is common and a big reason daily contracts exist. Since it keeps players feel there's a reason to log in and play the game every/most days.

[halcyon rover]

why everytime when i play now the audio is so buggy and every fem minutes my screen freezes??

[edgy glen]

they nerfed it down to 150 degrees way ago

[autumn jasper]

I honestly don’t understand why I got banned. I didn’t insult anyone or act toxic at all. I really don’t think I did anything wrong. Maybe some players just reported me for no reason, or maybe they thought I was cheating or something—but I wasn’t. That’s the only explanation I can think of, because I seriously didn’t do anything to deserve a ban.
I even bought the Game Pass a couple of seasons, and I had made a lot of progress—was around level 83. This just feels super unfair and kind of crazy to me...

[tacit whale]

There’s an annoying physics issue where if you touch the corner of a yellow box or an air con unit, the object gets dragged with the player often causing you to get stuck. Also can you add a skip button for the audio player

[viral heart]

Switch multibucks to ranked and make the battlepass more expensive so people play ranked for the multibucks and get to a certain rank to buy the next one🔥

[thorny lynx]

I bet ya'll are FREAKING out with the state of this game and the tournament coming up (with quals being played).... It is almost like you have taken 4 steps back with literally everything in the sandwich that is The FInals

[twin helm]

i thought bungie devs sucked but here comes embark not knowing balance yes we love the cl40 its not ruining the whole game at all

[sudden trout]

This just tells you the nerf was unnecessary since the main reason for the nerf was because people saw themselves being killed from the front from their pov, whereas it only registers from the daggers pov.

[wicked viper]

uh, nice, but makes it a bit less playable for me

[exotic elk]

This game main mode is absolutely bullshit and game will never be popular unless it completely, COMPLETELY removed from the game.

[thick cliff]

Dear embark i just wanna told you last year i survived 2 car crash i broked my leg i got tuberculosis and i was suffering from panic attacks everyday it was a rough year to me
The funny thing is even that I’ve always said in game feedback to add mnk support on this game like i never forget that because i want it so fucking bad
Now im all good thank god and still no mnk support to console like imagine i lived every fucking disease last year bro even gta 6 has dropped 2 godamn fucking trailers and still no mnk support to console
Its fucking ridiculous giving us hidden deadzone and even more dont add mnk on console like are gonna fucking wait our whole life or what did u see fragpunk the day it was released they gived mnk support to console players
Make the game fair for both pc and console players its ridiculous that pc players can play both mnk and controllers and console players no just think about it

[sudden lake]

Embark please please PLEASE let us trade in VRs for Show Tokens please. Gives me a second use for my maxed-out VRs and makes legacy battle passes less grindy.

[frozen tree]

Day 16: Mornin’

Big wishlist:
Revert sword nerf (PLEASE give it 140 lunge damage, it needs it)
Buff dagger (so much you could do. I think you must: let it backstab turrets and fix hit-reg, then you should do one or more of: reduce charge time, increase backstab angle, slowdown only when fully charged)
Revert sledge nerf (at least the left click part), the range buff was nice but not what it needed
Also with the sledge buff, nerf winch! It’s the problem!
Give riot shield’s baton a wider hitbox, as right now it’s really janky to try and hit lights
Buff dual blades dps
Make breach drill faster and a maybe a bigger explosion
Bring back grenade grappling, and make it easier or reduce grapple cooldown
Make m11 a close range option, XP a mid range one, and ARN a longer range one. Same thing with AKM, FCAR, and famas, respectively
Make fire deal damage faster, without increasing the damage, this is for flamethrower
Spawns kinda suck right now, wiped teams spawn in front of people with the cashbox and block the cashout
Fix performance and freezing
Let us unlock the ultimate battlepass rewards as the $20 tier, and the 20 extra levels be part of the $30
There may be more, but this is what I think for now, and I’m open to suggestions and (constructive) criticism

[charred delta]

exactly this please!

[harsh cliff]

Again a reminder to remove CL40 from the game. This gun is just toxic

[fathom aurora]

it just got nerfed when it was already mid, at this point asking for more nerfs sounds like a huge skill issue

You got an automated response. Just keep spamming support.

[shut verge]

Would love a map voting system or a select map system when queueing. Not sure if there's concerns on splitting up player base but could help reduce playing the same few maps repeatedly

What about the cloak stretching visual glitch?

[leaden shell]

yea buff cloak so more degenerates acan sit in corners like the weeakkings they are. also @drifting topaz the cl40 does not need a nerf it just got one its just a skill issue at this point for u if ur losing to a mid weapon that isnt at all in the slightest competetive...

[drifting topaz]

Lower the CL40 splash damage.

The blast radius and self damage nerf wasn't enough, you need to tweak the damage on this thing. The gun is so easy and forgiving to use it can't have the damage it has currently.

Also please give us SHAK-50 animations

[vapid crystal]

Hey guys, something different: we'd really like to promote noprep speedruns for big box--but te only way to prove the runs is to have the runner spawn into the arena and head to the challenge (to prove no props are being used before starting the challenge) could you maybe make it so that all props (we mean fire, poison, explosion barrels) despawn at death in the practice range?

Thanks! And to all the others: Post your runs! Love you ❤️

[rustic tinsel]

Do you know what 'Survivorship bias' is? It’s a logical fallacy where people only focus on those who made it through a selection process while ignoring those who didn’t. When only the players who managed to adapt to using melee weapons are still using them, of course the remaining stats will look good because only the successful ones are left. Anyone who wasn’t good at using melee weapons would’ve just stopped playing them. That’s why, objectively, there have always been fewer melee users than gun users.

So making balance decisions based solely on stats without playing the weapon yourself is absurd. The fact that only a few people are using it means it’s already a weapon for experts. And if only experts remain, of course the stats will look good. And If people are asking for a nerf, it usually means they don’t even use the weapon themselves. Look at Pike. It’s one of the strongest weapons right now, but you don’t see nearly as people crying for a nerf. Why? Because the majority of this game’s players are mediums (actually embark says). And naturally, people don’t ask for nerfs on weapons they like and use themselves.

But I’m NOT saying Pike should be nerfed. What I’m saying is that the other weapons should be buffed to the same level.

Instead of nerfing, just buff the alternatives. That way, the players who use those weapons don’t feel unfairly punished, and those using other weapons will enjoy having more competitive options. Everyone wins. So why do you only nerf? Nerfs should be handled with surgical precision, not through nonsense like slashing a weapon’s dmg by 25%.

Fighting against niche weapons requires a different approach than fighting against guns. But instead of adapting, a bunch of dumb players keep whining for nerfs because they can’t be bothered to change their gadgets or playstyle. You must stop listening to nerf whiners.

Sword needs a 140 dmg lunge. Those original stats existed for a reason: melee weapons needed them to function properly.

[slow dragon]

Add a way to enable the pixel effect in normal game and not only in blast off

[wheat frigate]

When will Embark fix ranked……. Its so bad that even the top people barely play it and just go into WT and sweat. Lost about 8 players this season because of ranked state. ZERO reason ever to go jnto second round after a sweaty first round and still possibly lose 300-600 RS. Thats insane and even more ridiculous seeing the small player poop currently in ranked. Make the system fair and reasonable so more people will grind it out. I refuse to spend hours into ranked to have one or two bad first rounds then lose 1,5 to 2k RS. If ranked player pool was healthy then sure, but reach plat and you will just go against ruby 3 stack lobbies on repeat because there are no filler players to match equally. Down to just me and one other person of our crew still playing and probably why we will quit the game

[uneven wraith]

something needs to be done about people leaving mid way through the world tour, the spot should be filled! its so unfair even if you make into the next round you still only have 2 players! please embark do something about this!

[sick crown]

Nerf the cl-40 and .50 akimbo and both the light smg’s

[feral shard]

@dense agate True, about the dagger

Day 39 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)

[dense lodge]

Please fix your matchmaking I’m tired of trying to play casual matches of quick cash while having bad teammates and then going up against diamonds and emeralds. This is extremely not fun and you’re going to lose players with this kind of matchmaking. There needs to be ground rules for a game where you need matchmaking to find other people to play with you can’t just not have anything cause new players are gonna hate playing this game. If you won’t fix the matchmaking then add an option of playing against bots instead cause this is getting annoying trying to enjoy the game causally when I’m getting stomped by a full diamond team because your matchmaking allowed them in my lobbies. I’m decent at the game but by no reason should I get diamonds cause I don’t play any ranked mode yet I go up against players way above my skill level. Ya whatever say skill issue all you want but please just fix your stupid matchmaking system.

[round goblet]

So let SH1900 roam free which is more problematic and an range upgraded version of Dagger and its only downside is a 2 shot fast reload while Dagger Changelog were this one getting all the negatives just to replicate Sh1900 Effectiveness in a competitive level;
Backstab damage reduced from 350 to 320
Multi-hit removed
Backstab windup increased from 500ms to 800ms
Sprinting disabled during backstab windup
Movement heavily slowed while charging backstab
Removed tap-to-release, now hold-only to backstab
Attack undercharges when released early (Missing the Timeframe)
Backstab angle reduced from 180° to 150°
Cannot melee through Goo anymore
Cannot backstab turrets or Goo anymore
(*Must use primary attacks on turrets and Goo *)

The Finals – Matchmaking Needs Serious Fixes

The game is really fun in terms of gameplay and unique ideas, but the matchmaking system has a major flaw.

I often get placed with very weak teammates, while the enemy team is clearly coordinated and much stronger — usually full squads.

I'm currently Gold rank in World Tour, but I’ve barely been playing it lately because of this issue. My progress has slowed down significantly, since winning depends more on luck with random teammates than on actual skill.

Unfortunately, the experience has become very frustrating as a solo player. I really hope the developers improve the matchmaking to take skill and rank into account, or at least separate full squads from solo players in competitive modes.

[lapis carbon]

good game, terrible ticket support on the embark website

[chilly atlas]

So xbox is locked out now?

[glass valve]

Embark I’m going to spam this everywhere since this is really annoying.

The jump pad needs to be fixed. Why is it that I can’t immediately launch when I place it down in front of my feet? The point is that I want a quick escape but instead I get killed because I walk over the jump pad instead of launching. What’s the point of this? I shouldn’t have to take a step back and then forward again to be able to launch.

TIA

[sharp zenith]

yeah I think they changed this a few seasons back because high level players were doing a trick were they would put the jumppad down and pick it back up while still standing on it, so they'd get the bounce but also not lose the cooldown. but it did kinda mess up the flow of using the item.

[sterile canopy]

so that you can't launch people who are stealing with them. If you place it in front of you rather than under you you will not have that problem.

Jump pad has plenty enough utility without that kind of ability.

[vast onyx]

but you can winch, nullify, drop, backstab people that are stealing

[green vigil]

please fix your matchmaking!

i've not come to complain about something i hate or whatever, ive just come to say this:

season 7 is not the finals i fell in love with

things feel.... off? somehow? shooting feels weird, melee will just miss 20% of the time even with a direct hit..... the sheer amount of healing and turtling is moving the game into a less bombastic over the top game, and more just, slow and sluggish.

i dont really have an answer for you as to why, it could be a lot of things, but all i know is that the game just feels, weird. fundamental input stuff that used to just work, now just, doesnt

I know there's talks about KB&M support eventually coming to consoles, but besides that, could we get proper keyboard functionality for the chat? I'm unaware of how difficult that may be so I understand if there's some crossover with full support for KB&M but if doable, it'd be nice to be able to open the chat and type directly by just pressing the keyboard instead of having to do it through the controller first

[crystal umbra]

I'm a light main

I just bought a new console

I'm back to playing the finals after a 6 month break

I'm rusty

All of these things being true, why am I dropping 20+ kills as a medium in TDM on my first week back to this game?

As a light I'm getting 2 shot by several medium weapons again

Cl-40 "there is no escape"
Revolver "click twice to delete"
Model 1887 "click twice to delete"
Fcar "easy button"
Famas "Lazer beam"

If the light class has to fight at range now then they don't have the tools for it

If the light class has to fight close up the weapons are too strong and they die too fast.

lost 3800 RS cause i apparently played with a cheater last night and i only duo que with my friend which we've both been playing since season 1 and now we both lost points cause we got one random cheater on our team and lost 10x the amount of points we can gain in one game this system is dog shit and embark needs to do something about it, how is it fair i lose 3800 points i understand losing the points gained with the cheater but its not like i was teamed up with the cheater. i should not have lost that much its dumb and makes me not wanna play to gain all that back when i did nothing wrong

[unreal zodiac]

pls fix the spear

[snow oracle]

Can we be honest for a second?

CL40 isn’t just strong: it’s a crutch.
You see it time and time again: a team starts losing, and what’s the move? They switch to CL40. That alone should be enough to raise a red flag. When a weapon becomes the default plan B, it’s not balance... it’s broken.

How much more proof do you need?
Players are dropping from Scar-L to CL40 mid-match and suddenly dominating. That doesn’t ring any alarm bells?

And let’s not pretend the last patch fixed anything. Dropping the radius from 60 to 50cm? That’s cosmetic. The problem isn’t numbers, it’s design.

The excuse? “Too many people use it.”
Yeah, because meta weapons are always flooded by people who want easy wins, and it punishes those of us who want to win with skill.

I want to use my AK. I want to earn every shot. But how do I compete when a guy lands one blast and wins the duel, even if I don’t miss a single headshot? You ever try landing 100% headshots without macros like half the lobby? Exactly.

Enough excuses. Enough patching around the problem.
If you care about balance, if you care about integrity, fix the CL40.

[waxen thicket]

Either nerf SH1900, or buff back the 1887, Sledgehammer and Sword to their previous damage levels.

You guys nerfed sledgehammer because it was too popular and killing enemies too quickly. Well, now it's ttk is so bad against heavies that 90% of their weapons will finish off a heavy before their combo is over.

You guys nerfed 1887 too, because it was killing off other mediums and heavies too easily. Well now it's been relegated to a "support weapon" as in you will not be winning duels against other guns, you will need your teammates to finish your enemies faster. Sure you can quick melee to bypass that, but at that range Cerberus will be better in every way. Also you have autos for medium range and marksman weapons for long range, so now it's at a niche position where it's not really very good at any range because there are simply better options.

You guys nerfed Sword too, which tbh was a decent move. The heavy attack damage was too high and made killing everyone too easy because of it's lunge forward. Too bad all the sword users simply started using the SH1900 instead, so they don't miss the sword that much anyways.

SH1900 is now good at the very thing that got the previous 3 weapons gutted out of meta: absurdly short ttk that doesn't rely on help from teammates. Now that itself is not a bad thing exactly, but when you're nerfing other weapons for that very same trait but leave the SH1900 as it is, it just seems unfair and hypocritical. It just sends a bad message.

Messages like "The SH1900 is not being nerfed because the most popular Finals streamers on twitch use this gun a lot, and nerfing it would risk them leaving this game after losing interest and kill the viewership on Twitch, thus resulting in even less player growth than what it already is".

While this message does sound like a baseless rambling, it starts to make more sense when you realize none of those streamers ever really play with 1887, Sledgehammer or the Sword very often, if any at all.

[polar junco]

CL40 is one of the guns with the most visual feedback (especially if one plays medium) and very fun to play if you are new to FPS games.

[crimson surge]

I think the CL40 needs to act more like the heavies MGL. Get rid of the on impact explosion, make it have to bounce, more of an actual skill check weapon not a weapon that I see lvl 8 characters top fragging and ending game with a K/D ratio higher than a lvl 85+. The CL40 is absurdly unbalanced and completely sucks the fun out of the game. Yes you could say “just use the APS” but the cooldown of the APS can’t sustain the amount of CL40 rain. Get rid of exploding on impact and rework it.

Okay **eff the meelee hating pike, sniper, xp54, shak users. **They are haters they will always hate cuz they do it for a living. "Oh but theres too much damage!!!" yeah it shouldnt surprise u that the weapon that does damage on meelee range only has so much damage"

Okay eff ESports ur gonna ruin the game by trying to make it competitive, too "FPS like". The creativity of the game lies in its variety of viable guns. Nowadays, FPS doesnt mean it has to have guns only. Guess what, Helldivers 2 is a shooter game, but still has meelee weapons.

Okay eff the pro players, if you keep listening to them ull go like rainbow six siege and forget the casual playerbase and destroy ur balancing. I know you need them to advertise but I'll remind you the majority of them are extremely sweaty and they have the "no-fun-only-extreme-realism" kinda approach to balancing.

[languid niche]

Map and Events:

Suspended Structures: Cashout’s tend to spawn on these structures. Please make some essential Ziplines unbreakable similar to how you can’t break the jump pads that are given already in the map. Or make it so that they’re only breakable when the ground beneath them are broken. For example, Suspended Structures on Bernal are only accessible through the Ziplines given which are broken so easily. If you choose not to have a mobility gadget it’s basically impossible to get up there. Destroying the chains is the only solution. Make it so only one chain needs to be broken. Red barrels aren’t always accessible, RPG only has one shot with a long cooldown. Only reliable gadget is thermal bore.

Moving Platforms: Moving Platforms are a problem when it comes to getting on them especially if there is a team defending a cashout. I think the Moving Platforms should have stops, like how you would imagine a train/bus would work. A time to stop and a time to go. Make an audio queue for when it stops and go’s like a bell or something. For example, getting on a Moving Platform in Seoul, most of the time the Moving Platforms are off the map, literally inaccessible. They should have a break when they are close to the ground so players can get on the platform and have an opportunity to fight.

Thank you for all the hard work you guys put into this game

edit: I meant Monaco Suspended Structures not Bernal surry

[earnest estuary]

I feel like u should be able to change your scope in training mode

[ripe gulch]

I thought embark updated the CL-40 so that the the user gets more splash damage if they shoot the floor in front of them? Why am I now seeing more people using the CL-40 and shooting straight down and pretty much not taking any self damage but killing everyone around them. We need to increase the damage they take when shooting down similar to the RPG.

[shut verge]

Yeah feels like the self damage change wasn't enough

[near spruce]

EVERYTHING feels nerfed and buggy rn, takes 4 DIRECT hits from a DB to kill a medium, but for heavy its 3?? odd.

[sinful finch]

can we see a rework of kyoto? i know the team has been working hard to fix alot of the issues that the map has when it comes to lag but the overall game play is lacking. also a few buffs as opposed to nerfs would be great given that there is so many ways to heal now. don’t say it enough but thanks for the hard work

[fast haven]

PLEASE

[narrow spade]

fix ranked #👂┇game-feedback message

[dreamy marlin]

Day 4 of asking embark to please let us use the reserve in ranked :c, it would mitigate the frustration a lot of people have with certain weapons with out the need of nerfing them, it would allow for niche and fun loadouts to be more present in ranked, for that same reason more people would be willing to try new weapons in a serious matter, for example if you've been practicing with the R357 but still feel insecure about your ability to use it effectively you could just bring it and if you don't feel you're ready then you could swap for a more familiar weapon, and I think it will improve the health of the game over all

[prime junco]

is it just me or the performance is so bad now? how come it was ok and with new update when i fight people i get 30 less fps

[quasi apex]

Can the V9S iron sights not have as much kick because it is very bad borderline unplayable without a scope, instead let the entire rail go up and not just the top of the gun, I know it is modeled out of the Alien but the actual gun doesnt shoot like that and most shooters doesnt shoot like that, even the other guns in the finals dont shoot like that.

[quick plaza]

Can we please fix the grenade launcher it is a bit busted dose to much damage and is broken on ranked especially

[cobalt kernel]

Add iron sight to sniper rifle and buff hitscan range by 10 meters

Buff breach charge fuse time, it takes forever to detonate, NO ONE uses this ability its that bad

Buff Pyro grenade area of effect finally!

Buff reshaper recharge time greatly or give third charge back

NERF DEMAT recharge time

and last but not least

BRING BACK BANK IT

[sterile canopy]

Make sure graphics drivers are up to date. You can turn on a stats display in settings that should make it clear if the slowdown is CPU or GPU based.

[tame abyss]

CL40 Needs a Rate of fire nerf
The entire problem is it's spammyness
Damage wise it's fine
But the fact you can spam and jump around like a madman is the issue

[proper chasm]

I'm in gold rn, why do we keep getting games of premade rubies that are greifing us out the game constantly. I wouldn't mind that much except it's happened 13 fucking times now

[earnest sonnet]

fix or improve the fucking spawn system. it is so annoying to spawn on the same places over and over again to die instantly.
also fix the predictivness of the spawns. you always spawn on the same places over and over again. this is bullshit bingo for the wiped team. it is so annoying.

[lapis basin]

BUFF AND REVERT SWORD

[compact ore]

Winch is broken

[dark niche]

make dagger backstab angle 155 or 160! also let us tap to backstab possibly..? idk if that would make it too annoying to play against

[latent shoal]

Blast off without the pixelisation effect is realy good, thanks for listening you community embark

[serene arrow]

Can you please add an option to do party invites from the club list? Please!

[short fern]

More loadout slots

[worldly scaffold]

• bow and daggers needs reload, just like any other ranged weapon
• Remove double barrel (or rework it)
• Rework Dash (root source why Lights are so annoying to play against -> People leaving the game)
• Let us un-install assets for Kyoto, at least don't give penalty for leaving that map (ackward to play, only map with performance issues)
  (unless you are working on a rework for it's anniversary nudge nudge I hope so)
• Revert CL40 damage/ammo changes -> more dmg, less ammo (no one cares about terminal attack, that is why you made the change in the first place, it was fine S1 and S2)
• Season 7 is overall pretty great, Light spam in casual is just getting worse season by season = less fun gameplay, you gotta start tackle that issue
• Give AK it's ammo back, maybe?

To below, no, lol. Clearly I hit the right spot.

[proven parcel]

Find another game to play.

[pseudo leaf]

map selection maybe one day @odd portal I am okey to something like premier on cs2. After match found make a short map voting for 20 sec for 2 or 3 most wanted maps. Ties won't happen much because it is 24 people voting. Just don't want to see kyoto or a map that i played 3 times in 4 games.

[dreamy ore]

game crashing constantly since today's update 7.3.1. Everything just goes freeze for about 1 minutes and then, the game is terminated

[smoky jewel]

food for thought make an option for role Q so i dont have to play with dogshit throwers that run throwing knife light

[kindred oyster]

Buff FCAR for the love of god

[sly ore]

This game needs to fix its awful matchmaking. I shouldn’t have to fight a 2v3 because they insist on adding a teammate with dog water internet

[modern bramble]

can we not switch to kernel level anticheats? i love the finals and embark but i am not giving you my computer.

[swift laurel]

fix the game servers every few games its ass constant no regs takes a full 1 - 2 seconds to demat a wall or use a gadget etc its like playing on 250 ping on servers i normally have 20 ping on, games just not fun to play like this at all

[reef spade]

hire a new balancing team

[vital turret]

Servers are bad because there are to many cheaters on the server. It makes it very unstable

[odd portal]

map voting would be a good option for the private match settings. For organised scrims. Not good for quickplay/wt/ranked though

[slender pine]

healing meta is for donkey brained people

also hate the weapon balancing choices yall have been making

[honest verge]

Sledge feels mediocre to play since the nerf. Goo is too finicky when chasing, it doesn't seem to break consistently.

Embark has made some bizarre choices with melee weapons in mind. Dead Go Boom?

I think catering towards e-sports is going to go negatively. But at least it's not a battle royale

[dull trench]

another day, another stutterfest, another lag fest (because of their shitty ass deagle skin). And now the game is crashing with dips to 10fps and changing even to low and 720p dosn't change a thing. Got a ban for some time for the game crashing in WT even. This is totally not Embarks fault right?

Fix the god damn game, it's not worth 30 dollars or any money in this state. I even feel like i got scammed of my whole 25 dollars i spent on this game a few seasons ago because i once thought it was good and it would stay good, guess i'm shit out of luck.

P.S. I'm running a r5 5600x and a 3070, this should not give me any problems at all, yet changes to the settings do jack shit

[young drum]

pls fix the hit reg on the lh1. its so bad sometimes. and increase the damage to 44 or 45 pls

To Embark: Adding the legacy battle passes just makes them feel less special when we buy them, because it’s not time-limited

[noble path]

REVERT SLEDGEHAMMER NERF! It's the worst weapon in the game after Riot Shield 😃

[wicked birch]

Most of the time with battle passes, even in a game like Fortnite, the exclusive variants of skins past 100, are the real things to show off. Even then it’s just a simple progression system, so the most you show off is just earned xp. Compared to being Ruby in ranked that’s nothing. Not having the final page of recolored cosmetics in the Legacy Pass is a fair trade off, if you went past 100 in a season and got them? That’s something you can brag about. A ton of other people bought the battle pass, but at least you can say not everyone fully completes it AND goes past 100.

[karmic hollow]

The worst matchmaking I ever seen. 10 lvl with 85 lvl against full squads or ruby. Not fun.

[sudden lake]

Embark, I humbly request that you allow us to trade in VRs for Show Tokens in the game. VRs become useless after you've bought literally everything you possibly can with them. Show Tokens take way too long to get. It's a win-win.

[vague vector]

This games match making is so stupid, its one of the worst iv delt with. Getting fulls teams of nothing but 20k+ kill teams vs all brand new players and me? and this event is so anoyying. cant wait for it to be over.

[austere fox]

make goo gun useless

[hasty berry]

[dim river]

Embark the servers are awful. Pls fix 😦

[fading cobalt]

Spear needs:

• Critical damage for hitting the head. This mechanic existed for Dagger during the closed beta, so in theory it's still possible to be implemented.

• I won't give exact damage values, but the bonus should be enough to reliably kill Light in two Critical Hits, Medium in three, and Heavy in four.

• Bring back the sliding spin with a clearer animation.

• Make the spin only two per press, that third spin is so delayed that it's rarely useful.

• Make the lunge work on more than just the first swing in the combo. In fact, if they truly want melee to be viable, then all melee should lunge forward with Dash Lights if the swing is used at the same time as the Dash. At least enough to not be completely outdistanced.

[leaden shell]

solo players need thier own bracket in world tour cause solo players getting matched against a 3 stack is just a "im gonna uninstall this game" experience and ik this cause ive been solo since s1 and it continuously becoming worse each season. best way to fix this i think is 2 different options when u que for wt...regular and solo wt. only difference in the 2 is that if u have someone in ur party then u make i to where they cannot que for solo. and if ur solo u cannot que for regular wt..this way stacks are facing stacks and solo are facing solo but the progression and rewards are the same

[west void]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS AM I TO FUCKING GRIND THIS SHIT MODE CALLED RANKED THAT I CAN LITERALLY PLAY WITH BRONZE BOTS ON MY LOBBY ? GO FIX THIS TRASH ILL BE BACK ON THIS TROLL OF A GAME WIHEN SOME SHIT GETS FIXED, OTHERWISE BYE BYE, ALREADY UNINSTALLED GO WASTE UR TIME IN THIS SHIT MODE ( different stack of ranks yay bro any devs who decided to implment this is either a clown or drunk )

come back next week when you've calmed down!!

[tough merlin]

spoiler alert thats how ranked game works in every game not at the not ltieral top (the gold is queued with the bronze)

In most games at the literal top it usually doesn't work anymore due to restrictions

@gleaming summit name a game? gl ow2 you can valorant you can fragpunk you can. Literlaly every game you can, just not at the top level. At the top lvl you usually can't.

in the above pic the plat probably can't but guess who can? THE GOLD. and the gold can queue with the plat. Just like every other game.

[true void]

Mediums shouldn’t have a long range weapon like the Pike available to them. Snipers and marksman rifles should only be given to those who must take high risk to use them aka Light players only. High risk high reward. (Or just nerf the Pike)

[toxic sedge]

This is certainly an opinion.
Though not one anyone that actually doesn’t destroy their keyboard after losing to the incredibly nerfed melee has.

Sincerly, frick you.

[still marsh]

why did embark decide to undo the pixelated effect on blast off??

[cerulean birch]

they didn't

[cobalt kernel]

Literally the worst list of changes ive ever seen, just play another game seriously

Flame thrower is stupid strong and needs nerf, same as winch cringe range is ridiculous (re-nerf it!)

Buff Reshaper recharge time

Buff Breach charge fuse time

Give sniper iron sights, buff hitscan range by 10m

BRING BACK BANK IT

[potent pawn]

add more types of fish to the finals t shirts

[wooden atlas]

In the current state of the game, the only thing that truly needs nerfing is winch. IMO it shouldn’t be in the game at all, but if it must stay, I think it should affect players the same way as it does cashouts—pull them only a little. That way it isn’t the instant win button that it is now. Then you can give it back the longer range so it can be a utility device again, plus you can un-nerf sledge (sledge was never the problem, it was always winch).

Other than that, Embark, PLEASE don’t nerf anything else. MANY more buffs are needed before any nerfs are warranted. Buffs will solve many of the problems that people have with “OP” weapons—if more weapons are competitive, oppressive outliers will go away.

All that said, this has been a seriously fun season so far, Embark. Y’all COOKED with the map and QoL changes. Keep up the good work.
(And please make melee weapons viable again 🙏)

[potent solar]

please for the love do not nerf dash again. have players start with a higher default fov and include a dashing dummy in the practice range. if you have average aim its not a problem on the other classes

[quick coyote]

More cosmetic career rewards would be cool!
Not just clothing or the level badge but other stuff like borders or a background would be nice.

[high kettle]

blast off is the worst thing i have ever played and im not exaggerating. it sucks plain and simple. i odnt wanna hear skill issue because this game mode takes no skill, the cl40 is such a bummy weapon and to have a whole mode around this gun is bs. i hate how a whole daily quest is taken up by playing 2 matches of this piece of shit because id rather shit in my hands and clap than play this. i love the finals but fuck blast off.

[main gull]

LMAO using that for my next would you rather convo w the boys

[marble hearth]

Here's a tip: Don't play the gamemode. Hope this helps

[drifting topaz]

Buff every single melee weapon and optimize the new destruction mechanics better

Embark please give Bullseye Barry the practice dummy voice and
let us remove the 011010101001 effect on the mythic skins and also swap any other effects we own on or off 🙂 thanks

really tired of Charge and slam being used as panic button when they are losing the fight. sick and tired. it shoulnd recharge so fast

[tame abyss]

No

[ripe nacelle]

100% agree. I’m disgusted by how many nerf whiners are spamming Embark this season on Reddit and discord. It’s a feedback loop trap of nerfing things so other things stand out more and then people scream for more nerfs. It will lead to the downfall of this game if it continues.

[odd sparrow]

It's like Helldivers 2 all over again

[charred delta]

ýea exactly. randoms/solo and premate-teams should be seperated anyways... the matchmaking is just awful at the current state... the game is losing players because the majority of casuals and other non-sweats (dont playing 24/7 in fullsweat premate-constallation) will jump off sooner or later... because it isnt fun at all and its getting worst and worst... this is nothing you want to spend your free time with...

[shut verge]

That's take away from the excitement of a super close last second steal though. Especially the close ones where you aren't sure if it's gonna make time or not

[pearl mica]

embark add a season where it is full midevil with a castle map a dragon fire breath random event and battle pass with all midevil cosmetics like knights and kings and peasants maybe throw in some fantasy like fairy skins and demons maybe even midevil weapons like great swords blow darts for the light or maybe a mace or crossbow also we need a whisper function plsssssssssssssssss

[teal flower]

Console players need access to mouse and keyboard since controller is inherently worse and the whole goal of the finals is to become the best and if the game restricts you from performing the best on mnk for consoles then that goes against the games purpose just please embark please i wanna play i just hate controller so badly now that i play games with mnk and they feel so good comparatively and i can perform so much better so much more easily

[autumn warren]

remove sys$horizon from the game or do something to make it halfway decent for the love of god. not only is it just ugly it has no character. no cover. no decent peek spots. strange highgrounds and environmental counters to just about half the game's gadgets and guns. come on guys we have seen what a decent CNS map can look like with this latest season. out with old plz! or fix it.

[crude tree]

Can we make the Urban Ronin's headgear: "Overlook Goggles" be compatible with hats? Its very frustrating considering we have the Ninja Cowl which also covers the entire head but it is compatible with hats, and I wanna make a white Vaiiya outfit.

this is the worst take i have ever seen

EMBARK, LET US SIGN WITH IVADA AND MY SOUL IS YOURS

Once again, fix melee. The game is becoming un-fun for any of us who enjoyed melee as a viable option in ranked or casuals. It's a shame.

[barren silo]

Complaining about flame is the most insane take I’ve ever seen on this discord
Bros just outing himself as dog

[pliant whale]

the number of times I've had someone take a rocket or grenade directly to the face and either take no damage at all or maybe like 1 bar at best in the LTM is insane, this game's netcode is really not built for this type of gameplay

[cunning bough]

Day 2: of asking for grenade launcher to count towards grenade contracts

[vale tapir]

FIX THE FUCKING DOUBLE BARREL

[rustic tinsel]

You’re nerfing a weapon just because it feels frustrating to die to it?
Getting killed is frustrating no matter what weapon it is, so what now, are you going to nerf every weapon until no one can kill anyone? Or maybe just turn the game into a non-lethal genre?
Weapons are supposed to kill.

“Far above the target level for a balanced item”?
So you never considered that maybe it's only above because everything else got nerfed?
There’s a target level for nerfing, but is there no target level for buffing something?
Why is nerfing the only thing you ever think of?

"but we’re also keen to ensure melee is viable in THE FINALS, so we’re cautious about changing the weapon too drastically."
Reducing a weapon’s damage by 25% isn’t “too drastically”?

You say, “we definitely believe that melee needs some work to improve its viability”
but then you turn around and nerf it anyway?
So you know melee is weak, and your “some work” is to nerf it further? That makes so much sense.

Meanwhile, Pike outperforms actual melee weapons at melee range.
Your balancing is full of contradictions.

Let me spell it out for you:
A melee weapon is called that because it only works at close range.
And because it’s so risky to get in close, it’s supposed to be powerful up close.
There are plenty of tools and weapons to stop someone from getting close.
If someone manages to get past all of that and closes the gap, it’s only fair they win in close range.

Saying “melee weapons can’t against guns at range, so why aren’t guns nerfed?” is obviously nonsense.
Just like this, nerfing melee weapons because they’re strong in melee is just as ridiculous.

Instead of nerfing, just buff the other weapons. That way, the players who use those weapons don’t feel unfairly punished, and those using other weapons will enjoy having more competitive options. Everyone wins. So why do you only nerf? Nerfs should be handled with surgical precision, not through nonsense like slashing a weapon’s dmg by 25%.

[uncut hedge]

fix your respawns, third party on this game is pathetic

[ionic viper]

nerf sh1900, h+ infuser and cl40 (slightly smaller max damage radius)
buff ks, all melees, akm, mgl and cerb (slightly)

Imagine running into your opponents corporate base to steal their money and you run into an Embark made autocannon to stop you from even thinking about shenanigans.

The alarm goes off, and you start firing and four bullets in, you have to reload because you forgot to reload because you are top tier game player/ taco bell eater... death happens.... the controller is covered with food and you're sad that you have to move from your safe space to clean the controller...

The point of coining is to sacrifice a crucial resource in order to support your team IN THE MOMENT
It takes a minimum of 10-15 seconds if you even HAVE movement to support you, 30-60 seconds if you don't. Embark please spawn us closer when we coin

[fallen copper]

I am here again to beg for a flamthrower rebalance. Lets run some quick logic tests in a game of "who would win standing right in front of eachother"

a lower HP character hip firing a 6 shot revolver or a higher HP charater with a flamethrower

a lower hp character with a handheld sub machine gun or a 2x health character with a flamethrower

a lower hp character with two handheld blades or a higher health character with a flamethrower

If you guessed the higher HP character with the flamethrower, you would be incorrect for all examples.

But Hanskubie that doesnt make sense? If we pitched that to random gamers almost all of them would guess the flamethrower in close combat right? Are you saying lower health characters with melee weapons can easily out damage a flamethower including all other guns in the game?

Yes, yes I am, and guess what little guy, even though the flamethower has very limited range, it requires you to play smart and get in close on unsuspecting enemies, but dont be fooled! That sneak attack can trick you into thinking you have an easy kill, data shows us it takes a full second longer for you to kill any other player in the game compared to other weapons so your opponent will be using that time to get out of the way and kill you anyways! Since DPS is out of control, that higher health bar doesnt do anything to offset your lower speed and larger hitbox, at least its a quick death right?

But Hanskubie, that makes the weapon really unrewarding to play and in a competitive situation with limited respawns, its nearly impossible to provide value with out constant healing and revives!

Wait it gets better! Since your are going to die in every single engagement and everyother weapon kills you much faster, most of the kills you get will be from the latent burn conditions. So all that kill xp doesnt even get to go towards the weapon progression just to add insult to injury:)

[unkempt bridge]

There's this weird bug where i can no longer backstab goo or turrets 💔
Or contestants half the time

[tepid ether]

Last online time for every contestant in the club

[violet elbow]

Yes the weapon that can kill people with afterburn and does AoE damage thats very easy to aim with because of the massive hitbox is kinda shit

And thats a good thing :)

[primal frost]

don't forget that it also has utilty by being able to destroy goo and explode gas :)

[potent solar]

shooting / dashing / meleeing isn't consistent and going through with button presses. most recent update has destruction way over tuned. a red barrel and charge and slam took out the front half of the church. not fun to fumble through rubble constantly. the white vaya circular head with the lens often causes sniper headshots to miss. very frustrating. have tried this from point blank range scoped in

overall experience just keeps getting worse

[dense cipher]

Akm, and scar are a joke now. medium feels horrible to play with everything being bullet sponge. This was not the case in BETA,

This game is strafing away from the game I fell in love with, Horrible balance choices at the moment.

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

Spear: increase the first swing damage in the combo from 65 to 70 making it 70, 80, 90 and increase the spin attack damage to 120

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

Riot shield: increase the movement speed when blocking

R.357: increase the fire rate from 140 to 160 RPM

Dual blades: make the Deflect more consistent so it can block all melee weapons and increase the first swing damage from 50 to 55, increase the second swing damage from 60 to 65 and 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 and make it so the blades deflect pellets from shotguns more consistently because right now it's bugged and it deflects more pellets at a certain range

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

ARN-220: 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

Data Reshaper: increase the charges from 2 to 3 and decrease the cooldown from 26s to 20s

these emojis will highlight the message so anyone at embark can see them 🥇:🤠🤯😵:⚽️:grinning:😆🙃😇🫠

[rustic tinsel]

In 4.6.0 patch, at sword,
Decreased the length of the secondary attack’s hit sweep by 55cm.

The nerf was too harsh, so in 5.8.0 they reverted it:
Increased the length of the Sword’s secondary attack hit sweep by 55cm.

Back to where it was.

Common sense tells us that just nerfing the hit sweep made the sword a very weak weapon, and you recognized this and reverted it. How does it make sense to apply a nerf that is even more deadly than that? As everyone knows, dmg nerf is a more serious nerf than a hit sweep nerf.
And from 140 to 105? That’s a whopping 35 dmg, 25% of its dmg. Nerfs should be handled with surgical precision, not through nonsense like slashing a weapon’s dmg by 25%.
After that, the hammer went through the same thing. It doesn’t make sense logically, but it happened. It seems like no one on the balance patch team has played melee in WT and Ranked. If they had, they would know how hard it is to respond against shooting from high ground with melees.

Melee has to hit a certain dmg threshold to even be viable. Since melee must get up close to the enemy, offense is always the best defense. The only way to improve the survivability and viability of melees is to give them enough dmg.

"We’re going to continue to monitor the Sword and explore some alternative changes that might allow us to nudge the lunge dmg back up."

"These adjustments are separate from the broader melee quality-of-life improvements we’re planning for the future."

Start keeping your promises. Honestly, I really doubt whether melee needed a nerf at all.
But if I were to make one suggestion for the sword (even though I see no reason it needs a nerf),
At 140 dmg, make it so that when the sword multi-hits, first targets take 140 dmg, and non-primary targets take slightly less dmg. The current 25% dmg reduction is trash, so even non-primary targets should take more dmg than that.

Revert melees. All melee weapons needed their pre-nerf stats, and that’s why they were originally set that way.

Feels like there have been more cheaters this season than in the past.

[elfin skiff]

feel that

[brazen compass]

Please add an option to not queue with two lights.

[fathom aurora]

Is there any reason to play med anymore? light is alot better in every way "high risk high reward my a**", alot better movement and ttk, feels oppressive to play against, and now can even heal like crazy. Med kept being nerfed, weapons feel like shooting peanuts and every nerf is about "high usage", its hilarious.... been playing since beta but the game now feels really unbalanced between classes and im not sure if ill be back for the next season. Also seen more cheaters lately

[odd sparrow]

The first one was patched out, and the second one is just the awful hitreg

[unkempt bridge]

I'm aware lol, just upset they removed a core mechanic thats been here forever

[grave eagle]

Are there any issues with Xbox and connecting to games?

[fallen copper]

I think this is a classic pitfall of balance logic which is "hey because weapon has these XZY positive attributes, it shouldnt be as capable or hard to use" its a dangerous statement because it makes sense on first thought but doesnt hold up on the second or third pass through

yes it can destroy goo (as long as you are willing to wait for it to burn 🙂 ) and yes it takes out mines (as long as you are willing to take damage from them because you gotta be close, no range remember) but so does the primary fire of every other weapon in the game and even with the flamethrower ya gotta aim at the mines and pull the trigger so its not a gameplay change or advantage.

I was sarcastic in my original post but it was meant to highlight that the weakness of the flamethrower is a symptom of an overall unbalance in the playable archetypes in the game.

You got your classic rock paper scissors of Heavy, medium, and lights. The heavy are supporting with higher health, slower movement and strong util (high mag weapons, more damage over an area). Lights are your high mobility glass canons and mediums the happy mix.

BUT, that has been lost. Heavies are shooting with the accuracy, damage, and range of mediums and winning gunfights they shouldnt. lights are constantly invisible and moving/dashing making them play risk free despite lower health. Mediums just suffer both ends of that.

What is the result, well everything at every range starts to become a serious threat, couple that with multiple different streams of damage (random grenades, gas, fire, crossfire) and despite your class/role its met with quick/instant death. That is the state of the game we experience now. Peak out and take 300 damage from sources that dont behave as their general archetypes are expected to do. The burst damage death potential is removing the significance of the differences between classes.

Now apply that to a weapon that is slower to kill with very limited range, sure my aim doesnt have to be perfect but I still have to track my opponent to do damage, how does my opponent counter, well by doing the except same thing (which is fair) Track and hipfire, BUT more often than not you out DPS the flamethower with the same level of tracking and hipfiring. hmmm so the very limited range weapon has no DPS advantage when catching someone in range? Ah perfectly balanced. Now stack on other damage streams, the heavy with a machine gun 2 miles away on a roof doing a ton of damage, the light with a submachine gun doing the same. All the sudden you can only stay up for 1-2 seconds after you start your flames and its barely enough to scrape out a kill.

no amount of utility the heavy can provide can offset that when using the flamethrower, the player cannot defend nor aggress from/to another player without incurring a death from the factors I mentioned and all the "well its aoe and easy to aim" starts to not matter in the setting of an actual game.

I love the finals for the chaos and the havoc, it keeps it unique and competitive, but I feel its lost sight of a character type meeting the conventional expectations of that character type. If DPS is going to stay high across the board then just make the only playable class the medium so I dont have to be let down by playing the heavy like heavy.

When a weapon cant perform as players conventionally expect to, it leads to a lot of dissatisfaction and let down that pulls players away. If the conventional expectation of a weapon cant fit into the game, either it shouldnt be added or the game as a whole needs to be looked at and not the weapon.

[sterile canopy]

I think medium is still largely considered a bit more viable than the other classes. HP and abilities :p

medium movement is also fairly on par with light (jump pad, zipline and most importantly demat)

[north eagle]

Can we please stop with the Dr. Disrespect PDFile (80’s mullet and mustache) skins? I think it’s time to move on. What’s so bad about a Mohawk or bald skin that we have to get a Dr. Disrespect skin over and over?!

[lapis basin]

Killing melee and causing this game to just be a regular and boring call of duty style shooter….. you’d think with the addition of healing to all classes nerfing everything would be the last thing they would do…. Doesn’t make sense.

The game is still fun but it just seems very limited on “meta” weapons you can use which are all guns….

Another pitifully part of the game is having weapons that require a 3rd bullet for clean kills. Example: revolver does 74 damage REQUIRING a 3rd hit in lights who already have insane damage and dash? I truly feel 2 well placed shots should kill them. It’s beyond irritating to land 2 shots only to get dashed and killed by someone with 2HP? Same for sword….. 3 regular hits to kill a light who also have dash and can easily evade melee??? The combat circle just seems to be a bit broken….

[odd wasp]

revert sword to s3 state embark, sword nowdays is unplayble

[spare ravine]

just make melee viable, dagger, sword, dual blades etc

[glass cape]

Even after the latest patch, you guys didn't fix the Signature Sticker feature. It only shows on cash boxes, not every item, like it showed previously.

[rigid shale]

dagger is in the gutter and cheating has never been worse.

[burnt notch]

It only shows on cash boxes and cashouts

[frozen tree]

Day 17: Embark did you know there’s a lunch box brand named embark in a similar font?

Big wishlist:
Revert sword nerf (PLEASE give it 140 lunge damage, it needs it)
Buff dagger (so much you could do. I think you must: let it backstab turrets and fix hit-reg, then you should do one or more of: reduce charge time, increase backstab angle, slowdown only when fully charged)
Revert sledge nerf (at least the left click part), the range buff was nice but not what it needed
Also with the sledge buff, nerf winch! It’s the problem!
Give riot shield’s baton a wider hitbox, as right now it’s really janky to try and hit lights
Buff dual blades dps
Make breach drill faster and a maybe a bigger explosion
Bring back grenade grappling, and make it easier or reduce grapple cooldown
Make m11 a close range option, XP a mid range one, and ARN a longer range one. Same thing with AKM, FCAR, and famas, respectively
Make fire deal damage faster, without increasing the damage, this is for flamethrower
Spawns kinda suck right now, wiped teams spawn in front of people with the cashbox and block the cashout
Fix performance and freezing
Let us unlock the ultimate battlepass rewards as the $20 tier, and the 20 extra levels be part of the $30
There may be more, but this is what I think for now, and I’m open to suggestions and (constructive) criticism

[wispy ivy]

just revert every melee weapon to season 3 👍

[sudden lake]

Embark ever since the game was released over a year and a half ago players have been begging you for a secondary use for VRs. Now with the introduction of Show Tokens it's the perfect time to give them one. Let us trade in VRs for Show Tokens!!!

[gray flare]

are yall gonna do anything about that giant wave of false bans

[limpid hill]

Hey guys, so the winch has been a thorn in my side recently.

It feels like there is literally nothing you can do once you get winched.

You could be with your team, or at a reasonably safe distance on a flank pushing the enemy.

Either way, if you get winched, it sets the user up for an almost guaranteed kill every time. Not only can you be shot while you're being winched, but the accuracy of your weapon while being winched is so bad that even if I'm aiming directly at the heavy winching me, it never does enough damage to even make the heavy want to back off

Why did we ever change that? Why does heavy have a specialization designed to completely nullify and kill anyone person they pick? Why can't I at least accurately shoot my weapon back at the person who's specialization is almost guaranteed to net me as a free kill anyway?

I'd like to see a revert to the accuracy change while being winched. That way I can at least shoot back while I'm being dragged towards my death.

Thank you and have a lovely day

[rustic tinsel]

You're nerfing a weapon just because it's frustrating to die to?
Getting killed is frustrating no matter what weapon it is, So what now? Nerf every weapon until no one can kill anyone? Or maybe just turn the game into a non-lethal genre?
Weapons are supposed to kill.

"but we’re also keen to ensure melee is viable in THE FINALS, so we’re cautious about changing the weapon too drastically."
Reducing a weapon’s damage by 25% isn’t “too drastic”?

You say, “we definitely believe that melee needs some work to improve its viability”
but then you turn around and nerf it anyway?
So you know melee is weak, and your “some work” is to nerf it further? That makes so much sense.

Meanwhile, Pike, a ranged weapon, outperforms actual melee weapons at melee range.
Your balancing is full of contradictions.

Let me spell it out for you:
A melee weapon is called that because it only works at close range.
And because it’s so risky to get in close, it’s supposed to be powerful up close.
There are already plenty of tools and weapons to stop someone from getting close.
If someone manages to get past all of that and closes the range, it’s only fair they win in close range.

Saying “melee weapons can never compete against guns at range, so why aren’t guns nerfed?” is obviously nonsense.
Just like this, nerfing melee weapons because they’re strong in melee is just as ridiculous.

Instead of nerfing, just buff the other weapons. That way, the players who use those weapons don’t feel unfairly punished, and those using other weapons will enjoy having more competitive options. Everyone wins. Nerfs should be handled with surgical precision, not through nonsense like slashing a weapon’s dmg by 25%.

Admitting a mistake and fixing it right away is nothing to be ashamed of. What's truly shameful is refusing to acknowledge the mistake and making things worse. No one’s going to blame you for correcting a wrong. Do something that’s actually not shameful, pleeeease.

Revert sword, sledge and dagger.

[tame chasm]

fix the dogshit servers

[rare vessel]

Make player cards visible longer after kills please

[sonic spoke]

I like this request!

[ionic monolith]

Intentionally throwing should result in a permanent ban.

[supple mortar]

Revert sword. The nerf was undeserved. If it needed a hit, it should have been the melee cleave being reduced, not completely gutting the dmg. (But it didnt)

[plush sentinel]

It would be nice if old battlepass pages costed less. It takes like 30 games to complete a single page. I'm already about to complete the main battlepass compared to barely starting the 3rd page on the legacy battlepass.

[novel trench]

Squid Game

[brave rover]

Not sure how the devs feel about this, but I know some people complain about winch so let’s maybe try to introduce some additional counterplay outside of glitch. What if shields such as dome and mesh blocked it instead of it going straight through them?

The only other game I’ve played competitively at a high level is Overwatch, and the idea of a roadhog hook going through a Reinhardt shield is terrifying. I know it’s a completely different game that plays very different than the finals but it could be a solution without making the winch any worse.

It adds a fun mini game between heavies trying to bait out the winch or force shield cooldowns.

[pure arrow]

Hear me out, I’m not going to come complaining for balance or whatever. Just something fun. What about a party games mode? Maybe remove Terminal Attack (if the numbers are there) and give us party games? It can be a permanent rotation of Blast Off, Heavy Hitters, maybe prop hunt or other fun creative modes ☺️ just a thought

[shut verge]

Been wanting this too. Would be such a good way to get more use out of event specific maps like heavy hitters had too. Idk what terminal attack numbers are like but can't be too much. If they're worried about losing players if they remove it, could include it in the rotation

[cold bolt]

having more than half the weapons only be viable in quick cash isn't great for the game embark

[tender sail]

Losing the same amount in a 1st round loss as you gain in a tournament win is a fucking dogshit system

[cedar cave]

It was a good idea to make the healing emitter less strong, but at least from my view it just appears practicly useless, even a stray grenade or a shot from the cl40 can make it disappear

I dunno, i don’t play it at all, only sometimes, but it felt really weak last time i used it

But might just be a skill issue

[rigid crown]

I love this game. Played for years. But this season by far has been the worst for me when it comes to crashing, stutters, and freezes. Idk due to adding so much the optimization lowered or whatever (idk how that works) but still. Please fix this

[thorny lynx]

Unfortunately BLAST-OFF is one of if not the single WORST LTM EMBARK has done. It is a far, far cry from the s1 Halloween, Western or christmas event, as well as Easter in s2. I dont remember a SINGLE LTM in s3... It just gets worse and worse. Please put thought and energy into the mode, map, special additions and different gameplay before playing reach in the hat and do whatever
EDIT forgot to add that the game in entirety is also in a garbage state... I have never wanted to quit since open beta.... but this has me close

[pliant sand]

I love your gammmeee!!!!

[wind flame]

Make the ranked gamemode give more ranked score, based on how much cash a team extracts. This would give teams an incentive to risk fighting despite being in first place, and not force a "worse" team in, instead of the team that should've been in.

[solar verge]

When your teammates leave, and you leave, dont punish the last person to leave when they dont want to waste time in that game.

[lilac mango]

this season is actually horrible for performance. i went from never crashing to crashing every other game. i would consider this suboptimal for an enjoyable time, especially considering the startup time for the game feels longer than the matches

[spark shard]

99% of the feedback here is in terms of buffing and nerfing weapons and gadgets, when the epicenter of the problem is the matchmaking and spawn system. These two factors are killing the game, it's a shame.

[rose tide]

remove "ENGIMO reality Shield" if someone is bad and they dont know it how are we gonna tell them

[dark estuary]

Make a gamemode you can grab cashout station and run

[cobalt kernel]

Add iron sights to sniper rifle, extend hitscan range by 10m

NERF Pike damage to 4 body shots per Light, it has no business outperforming sniper at range

Buff breach charge fuse time, takes forever to detonate (dead ability)

Buff reshaper recharge time or give back third charge

Buff Pyro grenade AOE

NERF Demat recharge time (or staight up remove it, it destroyed the flow of the game)

Nerf the living cheese out of Flamethrower and winch cringe (ridiculous range and going through walls constantly)

For the love of fucking god, fix spawns and box locations. I mean take more than 15 seconds to really think it out too cause the last several attempts have been absolutely stupid.

AND HOW IS A DAY 1 BUG STILL IN THE GAME. FIX THE SHOOT AND SPRINT GLITCH OMG.

[twilit void]

Solo que rank needs work please 🙏🏻 I went 3 games in a row with teammates who are light class (I play heavy) and will constantly go negative, won't play the objective, being no support items, and will give up halfway through the round. My rank is dropping and tbh I don't think I deserve it concidering I bring support, anchor objective, and go positive every game

[rotund rapids]

CAN WE FIX THE FUCKING FIRING BUG PLEASE

[grave eagle]

I was wondering if there was going to be an option to turn the lights off in the Menu/Customisation menu? I’d like the option to look at my glowing gun skins/cosmetic skins in the dark.

thats just shitty throwing knives

[rustic tusk]

Give us kill effects. I think that would be neat.

[regal spruce]

It’s not a battle royal

[thick sorrel]

Bank it? The 2nd best game mode? Since they removed it, I lost my trust in them... Can't believe Terminal Attack is still available.

[formal chasm]

I feel like having KB&M compatability for consoles would make the game more open to those of us who cant get a hearty pc to use kb&m

I would love to be able tu use kb&m for play on my xbox as i cant play the finals on my laptop, I understand the issues when crossplay is turned off but i think it would be an easy fix to just not allow kb&m input when crossplay is turned off

[marble hearth]

Servers are broken desync is terrible. I can hit chest shots dead on and the game won't even recognize it. Very broken please fix it

[smoky gust]

please add 5v5 QC/cashout

[dark niche]

okay dagger actually feels kinda horrible to play.. you can keep the angle just please make it more clear when it's fully charged (the fov change is barely noticeable..make it have a glint on the tip like the bow has) OR revert the whole charging animation thing
multiple times i have accidentally cancelled a backstab on a heavy because i figured the dagger was fully charged & done a qm
ALSO please make backstab do 350.. whats the point of having a heavy be able to survive when they die less that a second later via quick melee

[sudden spire]

Why does it take so long to drop a grenade at my feet? Why do I have to fumble around with it, yank it out of my pocket, kiss it, wind up, just to let it go at my feet? It should drop the grenade the instant I click the right mouse button. I hate thiss game

[sleek topaz]

we want the sword back like you promise

[sonic salmon]

since the cl40 is no longer used anymore time for the DB.

What the heck is Engimo Reality Shield and why is blocking the team chat?

I was playing with my friend (without a mic) and I couldn't send a message.

[naive root]

Ok, this is a good point. 2 points for a loss. 3-5 for a win.

[dusky flame]

Process Laso doesn't work anymore with the finals, when trying to use cpu affinities 1-15 which are performance cores. When the game starts at second discovery.exe pops up with a blank folder in process laso and it won't let me edit it. So it goes with the default cpu affinities and I get a less stable frame rate.

[sterile wharf]

I feel like it would benefit the practice range if on the outside area of the practice range (like the outdoorsy looking thing) embark could add a terminal similar to the one at the place where you do challenges but in this terminal you can pick different environments (like the environments in kyoto and other maps), game events (like meteor shower, low gravity, etc.), and times of day or weather (like night, day, noon, rain, dust storm from vegas) and this could help people get even better practice in dealing with the multiple different environments of THE FINALS.

[west glacier]

rubik's cube skin for the anti gravity cube.

[slender cipher]

Just thought about it. Sapphire rank for quickplay? Since ranked has ruby, and world tour has emerald, why not give quickplay some love for those that play quickplay a lot and give them something to earn for playing a lot?

Another one would be Amethyst and Obsidian ranks for just reaching weapon and gadget ranks at like, we will say 12 and 13 (Originally I was going to say 15 and 20, but the Xp grind for weapons and gear in this game is unrealistic for anyone just starting out, and its quite unfair and unforgiving in that regard, and IMO it needs a rework in how its earned and needs to be easier and simplified for EVERYONES sake. I have been playing since season 1 and still haven't gotten a single weapon or gear item past rank 9, and I know there are some people that have gotten max already, but I can't trust those people since you can easily exploit gear XP gain in the game.) and just to show off your most favorite weapons and gadgets to utilize.

[edgy glen]

A few months ago they actually made it so melee doesnt go through goo anymore.

[quartz dirge]

why tf we adding a nolife prize to casual 😂 hell no
amethyst and obsidian are fine tho

[versed gull]

This game feedback channel is useless spam no wonder they don't listen to any of our criticisms

[minor notch]

i think we should add diamond to quickplay too!!!!

[distant vine]

so if the healing emitter works like a turret now. then remove that other players can pick it up and throw it away. or with that logic. enemy turrets and APS should be able to be picked up and thrown away. simple as that.

[torpid sandal]

sorry if im being ignorant here but could someone explain the xbox cross play issues, like how long will they be there if there any, just heard sm ppl saying that.

[pseudo hawk]

just delete the double barrel, such a negative skill requiring gun doing too much. Should never have been buffed from the 149 damage

[jagged cedar]

game is once again no longer playable due to stutters and freezing, I've fixed this issue multiple times having trade off things like turning on anti aliasing, turning off clipping software, etc but seemingly every other patch these issues come back with a different cause

[ocean eagle]

If someone kills themselves fighting, we should get the full amount of money. A guy in TDM just killed himself with the grenade launcher every time he was close to dying. That's bullshit

[spark shard]

Matchmaking is broken since season 2.

[dark niche]

please buff dagger...add a glint effect when you fully charge it (like the bow) and increase the backstab angle to at least 165 i beg

[weary obsidian]

Can you guys please add some sort of progress bar to show if a teammate is reviving another teammate?

[novel trench]

Given the enhanced amount of effort being put into LTM’s, I’d like to see an anime-esque Dagger+Dash Heavy LTM where I can dress like a filthy Gaijin and open mouth breathe into my microphone.

[molten jackal]

I second this

[woven grove]

make it so that when you place your seeding you gain and lose nothing

[hot epoch]

please
revert the sledge nerf
at least the left click part
the winch was the problem with getting easy kills
now as a heavy it is a constant struggle to kill anything because so many things out dps you even in melee or just have better mobility (jumppad, dash, etc)
im not saying heavy should have better mobility
im just saying it should be more punishable to be within melee of a sledge heavy
rather than being able to press 1 button and get away scott free, while i have to meticulously aim with the goo gun
also didnt you say you wanted to make melee more viable?
i can also only vouch for the buff of the other melee options for all classes
they feel so underwhelming whenever i try to play them

[hardy rivet]

Hey is there any plans in the future to really dial in the audio for footsteps? I feel like it can be quite difficult to tell who’s a teammate and who’s an enemy and pinpoint the direction and level they are on

[cosmic ether]

Double barrel is aids

[feral shard]

Day 40 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)

This is how it feels to play dagger. We just want it consistent, preferably with a POSITIVE rework or buff. This game isn't cod. This game has unique weapons. It shouldn't be impossible to play any weapon besides the meta weapons. It is quite literally in the top three worst weapons to play with right now and it feels like Embark doesn't even care at all about it anymore. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1213572237941284864/1392648957406089297/2025-07-09_19-23.gif

Is it just me or does this season have more campers than call of duty?

[floral nest]

the throwing knives, and bow need something done to it like infinite ammo with crazy damage wtf

[gritty turtle]

Just remove everything and start from scratch 🥹

[stiff sequoia]

The removal of the ability to type in in-game chat with the other team is disappointing. It limited players’ ability to engage in positive, respectful interactions that helped build a sense of community and sportsmanship during matches. Please advise as to why this feature was removed and what timeline we can expect for it to be brought back.

[versed gull]

Embark if you nerf one more fun weapon that doesn't need nerfing instead of buffing and fixing everything else I'm out.

This game was in such a better state only one season ago and it's sad.

[lapis basin]

Sniper headshots need to do 349 damage….

Suggestion: make Q key still pull up the tablet when the dematerializer has no charges. I've been trolled so many times where I shoot the wall in front of me with the CL40 trying to demat it -_-

[late patrol]

can we make it so the cash bars show a total amount even before the chashout ending? like it could show x + y=(z) ngl even though the maths required is ez in a split second decison it would be a quality of life improvement. also adding new hitmarke colours, for body shot, headshot and kill confirmed would be great. settings like sensibility could be bound to the gun, im im playing with mpx i dont want the same sensitivity as the minigun for example. i think all of these would be really easy to implement and would be great quality of life upgrades.

[rustic tinsel]

Do you know what 'Survivorship bias' is? It’s a logical fallacy where people only focus on those who made it through a selection process while ignoring those who didn’t. When only the players who managed to adapt to using melee weapons are still using them, of course the remaining stats will look good because only the successful ones are left. Anyone who wasn’t good at using melee weapons would’ve just stopped playing them. That’s why, objectively, there have always been fewer melee users than gun users.

So making balance decisions based solely on stats without playing the weapon yourself is absurd. The fact that only a few people are using it means it’s already a weapon for experts. And if only experts remain, of course the stats will look good. And If people are asking for a nerf, it usually means they don’t even use the weapon themselves. Look at Pike. It’s one of the strongest weapons right now, but you don’t see nearly as people crying for a nerf. Why? Because the majority of this game’s players are mediums (actually embark says). And naturally, people don’t ask for nerfs on weapons they like and use themselves.

But I’m NOT saying Pike should be nerfed. What I’m saying is that the other weapons should be buffed to the same level.

Instead of nerfing, just buff the alternatives. That way, the players who use those weapons don’t feel unfairly punished, and those using other weapons will enjoy having more competitive options. Everyone wins. So why do you only nerf? Nerfs should be handled with surgical precision, not through nonsense like slashing a weapon’s dmg by 25%.

Fighting against niche weapons requires a different approach than fighting against guns. But instead of adapting, a bunch of dumb players keep whining for nerfs because they can’t be bothered to change their gadgets or playstyle. You must stop listening to nerf whiners.

Sword needs a 140 dmg lunge. Those original stats existed for a reason: melee weapons needed them to function properly.

Matchmaking is full on atrocious tonight. 3 in a row it throws me in late only to get spawn camped as they refuse to end the game.

And for the love of god, FIX THE ANTICHEAT AND STOP MATCHMAKING THE SAME CHEATERS AGAINST THE SAME TEAMS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Playing against the same team of botters is NOT FUCKING FUN

[raven topaz]

1.Winch range is too great. It should not hit on the way back, makes no sense, how can it grab. It's like a stun gun 100+ dmg free unless 1 hp. It can pull into enemy team. It can move objects especially cashouts into the open so it's super hard to steal. Stun gun was removed because it often "guaranteed a kill", yet the winch does the same. + all the listed abilities it is too strong. 2.CL40 is too strong, dmg you could say is okay (100dmg I think a bit too high). It can move cashouts (push them off sth for ex) and flick away trophies so you can't revive. It instantly destroys most gadgets (mines, sensors) and turrets etc. very fast. It does immense building dmg, destroying the structure under or around you very fast so you fall or lose cover (everything destroyed is very annoying). It's also splash dmg so you can hit behind cover, over things or multiple people. So same problem here, too strong with all the added benefits and a pita. 3.Akimbo is too precise, makes no sense as you are holding two pistols without aiming in down sight/through scope, every game makes akimbo weapons unprecise for a reason, you usually get the added benefit of shooting faster and having lots of total bullets (maybe add some). 4.Pike 50 dmg little too high imo. 5.Demat is way too strong, poof wall gone and back again (player disappears to flee). it can make others fall into the team easily. It can provide an instant window to shoot through (infinite angles). It is very strong at following players that are vulnerable as you cut through the wall. It has the mega strong ability of dropping a cash, then you flee/drop it on a pad to fling it/deploy gas mines, makes it frustrating for the enemy team stealing and you waste a lot of time with this. It can usually with the help of a winch or pad, easily fling the cash away to an easy spot. It can create a hole for enemies to fall into as a defensive move. 6.Same spawns are ruining matches as you easily camp them, worst in the final round. 7. LAG

can you guys fix this bug already it's literally every other match I have to hear my sponsor level up like 50 times in a row

[tall spoke]

some QOL changes:
1: make it so we can unequip weapon cosmetics in the equipment menu, currently we can only in the character menu which is weird and it makes it hard to change animations.
2: make it so weapons with only one reload animation only have one animation slot in the menu. the minigun revolver and sh1800 are all like this and the percussive tap animation i have to dump all 250 bullets to see it.

[dreamy marlin]

Day 5 of asking embark to please let us use the reserve in ranked :c, it would mitigate the frustration a lot of people have with certain weapons with out the need of nerfing them, it would allow for niche and fun loadouts to be more present in ranked, for that same reason more people would be willing to try new weapons in a serious matter, for example if you've been practicing with the R357 but still feel insecure about your ability to use it effectively you could just bring it and if you don't feel you're ready then you could swap for a more familiar weapon, and I think it will improve the health of the game over all

Please fix your matchmaking it’s not causal it’s let’s sweat in all modes cause look I’m a diamond or emerald and you don’t get to have fun. Your game isn’t fun anymore to play cause it ain’t casual it’s only competitive.

[ruby dew]

Pls take your time to check this short clip.

This is why the sword was already hard to use... not cause it takes time and skill to use it, but the fact that this happens very often.
But hey, devs will watch this and start thinking of nerff the sword even more, that is how stupid they are.

Literally user error, if you used primary attack after landing the first lunge instead of going for a second lunge you would have won easy.

[rustic tinsel]

Please, even just little by little, try actually playing melees and niche weapons in WT and Ranked to experience for yourself how broken the balance is.
Not in QC or TDM.Those modes are mostly filled with low-tiers and casual players who can make almost any weapon work.

And stop listening to idiots who haven’t even used the weapon themselves but still claim “it’s fine” or whining nerfs.
No matter what patch you put out, they’ll always cry for nerfs to the weapons they don’t use until those weapons can’t kill anything.
There’s no reason to listen to people begging for nerfs. The only reason they ask for nerfs is because they don’t use those weapons.
Naturally, people don’t ask for nerfs on weapons they like and use themselves.

Objectively, there have always been fewer melee users than gun users. The fact that only a few people are using it means it’s already a weapon for experts. And if only experts remain, of course the stats will look good. Anyone who wasn’t good at using melee weapons would’ve just stopped playing them. So making balance decisions based solely on stats without playing the weapon yourself is absurd.

You've already ruined so much with nerfs, and if you keep going, the game, which is already declining, is going to completely die.

Sure, player numbers spike every now and then, but that’s not because the balance patches are good. It’s just because a new season or a new mode dropped.
In fact, people are getting sick of the constant nerfs and leaving because of them.

I’m sorry if this sounds harsh, But balance team seriously needs to wake up.

Weapons need to deal enough damage to kill enemies.
Saying a weapon should be nerfed just because getting killed feels frustrating is the same kind of nonsense as saying no weapon should be able to kill at all.

Instead of nerfing, just buff the other weapons. That way, the players who use those weapons don’t feel unfairly punished, and those using other weapons will enjoy having more competitive options.

[twilit sand]

Please buff cloak by making it harder to see and tell the bots that complain to get glasses. Dash meta is lame. Also fix the no reg issues after the winch. Sometimes you winch someone and you get a no reg and sometimes when you get winched you no reg.

Add SBMM to quickplay or restrict group sizes for higher ranks, it is not fun being spawn camped by a 5 stack of top 500 players that won't even touch the objective to end the round quickly

[fallen copper]

This right here is great and also goes into what I mentioned earlier about the classes themselves not meeting the average "conventional" expectations your average gamer has about what being a "heavy" means.

This game is built off high octane fun thats enhanced with unique weapons and gadgets. It is rare that gamers can find something like the dagger, or duel blades that have high skill floors and feel motivated to invest time in your game to learn how to use them well.

Instead of cultivating those players and getting new players in to enjoy the fun, nerfs have come out, or longer range weapons are added in the way @rustic tinsel describes. The results is, no one wants to run dual blades when they get lasered by anyone and everyone. The few players who stick with it and scrape out a playstyle get punished further by changes based on their performance.

Frequent deaths are a part of this game, but the amount of DPS a player can do to another at range is way to high across the board. There is no room for creativity and only space for the meta. When the meta rules, the game dies.

Additionally: I was thinking that you guys could un-mount an autocannon from a c-130 spectrum gunship and give it to the heavy as special item.

They always did this, they used to do it for longer in fact.

[signal basin]

People are asking now for a SH1900 (dual barrel) nerf after a dagger nerf, a sword nerf, a M11 nerf, a XP54 nerf. When it will end ? Seriously ? Light should deal damage ! If you can't deal against a 150 HP class just improve yourself. The hate on Light class is getting more and more ridiculous and it piss me off.

Next step : 93R, V9S and LH1 again

[edgy glen]

its due to the hypocrisy of it all. The SH1900 can deal far more dps, burst damage and range than any melee can or could ever dream of (even the dagger if you take into consideration having to charge it)

and yet they just keep nerfing melee (and not buffing the useless ones). With the uselessness of melee the SH1900 has taken a big uptake in usage for people that want to use a close range weapon. The people still playing melee are having a miserable time against it, with dash already hard countering melee, there is practically nothing to be done against a slightly intelligent double barrel user.

[rotund rapids]

To be honest they should attribute the kill. Add a new notifier (player name + enemy name (Method of death)) then make last hit a debuff that runs out after five seconds or so, that way active gunfights will attribute the kill but it won't be attributed if the person runs off for fifteen seconds and dies to auto mantling onto a ladder they're not facing

Also in response to DB nerfs, I just time and dodge their first shot - On all classes.

[keen lily]

fix the matchmaking in ranked for soloq, it's bad af, I shouldn't get 5k lower RS teammates or play against ruby stacks in mid plat

I like the style of the LTM but Heavy Hitters was better (could also be bcs I'm trash with the CL40).
I would've liked more maps for a bit more variety in the gameplay.

[gritty helm]

I agree

[thorny lynx]

todays patch BETTER fix something... if anything else gets broken .... Im out

[royal jewel]

when was m11 nerfed?

[narrow spade]

Spawns have been kinda fucked since last update.

• vaults very frequently (like 1-2 times per round) <100m from cashout
• spawns strongly favoring one cashout (so spawning 3 teams at one), leading to constant third parties or back to back fights
• spawns putting both cashouts or both vaults right next to each other (usually once a game, if not more)

All of this has just amplified third partying to an absolutely frustrating degree.

Also fix ranked. #👂┇game-feedback message

[oak karma]

I know it’s probably too much to ask but… would it be possible to get free pride charms and stuff?

[halcyon patio]

Its not just long range but they are also hitscan which was somehow unacceptable for sniper all weapons that arent assault rifles need a slight buff.

Like i see none of the devs talking about arn its so broken, its recoil pattern is a straight line upwards, it has seemingly unlimited ammo and does good damage. Literally everyone uses it but cerberus gets a nerf because people use it????? They just want this game to be assault rifles only because thats what the shooter sweats and new players want

(Meant to quote @fallen copper)

[slender abyss]

Hello, we appreciate the feedback, however there is no need to send the same one over and over in such a short lapse of time, especially as it is a lot of text. Everyone is allowed the same visibility. Thank you!

BUFF MELE WEAPONS EMBARKKK FOR WHAT IS THE CHANNEL IF YOU DONT DO THE THINGS THAT THE COMMUNITY SAYS???????

[inland bramble]

While there’s a CM around. I hope you see this. I literally haven’t played the game since the sword damage nerf. You guys made one of the most fun weapons to use, essentially useless. Light sword players should be rewarded for successfully engaging another player at close range. That’s the whole point of the weapon

Still waiting for the “revisit” you all promised. If it doesn’t come soon I’m probably uninstalling. This is from someone who’s bought every battlepass and played thru the betas. Y’all history of just nerfing weapons until they are unusable needs to stop

[cobalt kernel]

A fringe minority of OP sword/hammer abusers does not qualify as "the community" LMAO

[slender girder]

Most people with at least 1 eye and no bias could see that sword was broken.

[primal frost]

i get sword but hammer...?

[scenic imp]

Please Buff the Model 1887.

The current damage of the Model feels extremely low for a shotgun of this type. This weapon should shine at close range, but it loses to almost every ranged weapon even at short distances.
You need 2.6 seconds to kill a Heavy with the Model. That’s an eternity in this game. In that time, a Heavy can easily kill a Medium twice over, with almost any of their weapons. And don’t forget that Model users need to push forward to get value, and yet, they get outgunned even in close-range situations.
Based on this, I propose increasing RPM and slightly reducing the reload duration. This would preserve the weapon’s identity while making it more viable and rewarding for close-range engagements, without turning it into a broken meta pick.
Thank you!

[proven crown]

Add "Skill expression" section to the tutorial - where you can watch curated videos on interesting skills:

*Virtual window hopping and navigating levels using destruction
*Melee masterclass: Mitigating risk, maximising coins
*Macro strategies to consider
Etc.

[rugged vapor]

For example rigth. The hammer. When me and my friend get killed by the hammer often its good because when we shoot the man with the hammer we can brag about having shot the man with the hammer. So nerfing the hammer is gay

[lean thistle]

Why is cross-play turned off for console players?

[tame vessel]

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

Spear: increase the first swing damage in the combo from 65 to 70 making it 70, 80, 90 and increase the spin attack damage to 120

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

Riot shield: increase the movement speed when blocking

R.357: increase the fire rate from 140 to 160 RPM

Dual blades: make the Deflect more consistent so it can block all melee weapons and increase the first swing damage from 50 to 55, increase the second swing damage from 60 to 65 and 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 and make it so the blades deflect pellets from shotguns more consistently because right now it's bugged and it deflects more pellets at a certain range

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

ARN-220: 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

Data Reshaper: increase the charges from 2 to 3 and decrease the cooldown from 26s to 20s

these emojis will highlight the message so anyone at embark can see them 🥇:🤠🤯😵:⚽️:grinning:😆🙃😇🫠

Week 2 Contract for Blast Off! "Win 8 Matches of Blast Off!" is ridiculous... this is literally not doable as a solo player.
I would have to play around 40 Matches even if I get ~15 Kills each round.

@coarse pulsar you are not being matched against ruby players ( last 3 seasons badges ) and yes skill issue. The matchmaking is total bonkers.

Please re work the pistol ray gun skin. The pike is also a ray gun and the two DONT compare at all. Make the rework 50 coins idc but it needs to breathe like the pike does.

[fading chasm]

The spear hit box is fucked I’m next to a guy doing the aoe and because there’s a bit of debris infront of me it doesn’t hit anything

[tardy pendant]

I know this is about the light class, but I personally think this is why so many people were complaining about CL40 and are demanding massive nerfs to it too. It started being used a lot more because other weapons got nerfed. Yes it is an easy weapon to pick up, but it takes a lot to master as you have to be within a certain range, and there are quite a few counterplays to it due to its slow fire rate and self damage.

Also in an unrelated note, since I can’t send a message or react for 4 hours. Love that idea @toxic coyote

[toxic coyote]

What if Dematerialized walls from opponents show up in their respective team's color? I think this would be similar to the dome shield change back in season 1 and it would make sense. Not sure how but you would need to give it contrast to the player. Maybe a darker hue so the wall doesn't blend in with the player?

[tired fable]

[twin helm]

I feel like this game is too fomo driven with the rank skins I’d like to have to choice of putting the skin on any gun I want after unlocking it we can have it so emerald 4 you get the background emerald 3 you get one skin for and gun on any class you want same with emerald 2 and 1 then diamond and ruby skins you get one choice per season

[untold venture]

Give KS a 1.5 headshot multiplier

[edgy glen]

I ment melee in general and yeah, melee is a very easy weapon class so when it becomes unviable people are just gonna move to the next good but easy weapon which recently seems to be shotguns and cl40.

And I agree that cl40 is really hard to get good with, a projectile with travel time and fall off is no joke and self damage from it is incredibly crippling and punishing.

[twilit sand]

Buff cloak

[unreal blaze]

Dear Embark, bravo on Blast Off mode. It takes real innovation to turn an amazing shooter into a joke by making Blast Off a daily requirement. The CL-40 grenade launcher—truly a masterstroke of balance—rewards minimal skill, maximum cheese, and toxicity cranked up to 11! If you were trying to recreate the spirit of kindergarten dodgeball in an FPS, mission accomplished. Just don’t be surprised when the community stops spending money on your game, your mocked by your partners at Steam & Nvidia, and even manage to piss off that U.S. Senator from Missouri more than you already have (the one that went after Activision & Electronic Arts in 2019).

[fiery beacon]

can we please finally remove low gravity of the game

I have some feedback that might be controversial as it has nothing to do with gameplay. Please bring my robot mustache back.

I'm sure this has mentioned before but let me add one more voice to this request

I really wish there was a better implementation to changing sights on the weapons
Not being able to switch sights at the start of the game and NOT EVEN in the training range, having to leave the match, switch, then load in training range again feels like this is a very unpolished system

[royal ore]

i agree on that, atleast in practice range

[waxen solar]

But a cooldown of at least 8 seconds on elevator. The spamming of up and down is annoying. Especially when you got heavies in there with their healing orbs.

[gentle jungle]

Can you make it so we get more show tokens instead of 1 per match? or make it so we get them from daily challenges / shoot let us buy / purchase them? It’s Going to take ages to level up legacy bp’s.

[keen island]

Revert and buff melee as much as possible. Melee being a viable option is the ONLY reason this game can stand out from ANY OTHER fps games. With it being garbage, The Finals will NEVER be tournament ready

[worn hull]

Embark. Revert the sword nerf.

[ripe trail]

Playing against cloaked lights who can start shooting while invisible is unfun and cheesy—it requires zero skill. This kind of ability has no place in a competitive FPS and should be reworked or removed entirely. My friends and I have been playing since beta, but we’re not reinstalling until the oppressive lights are fixed.

[glad pike]

"Oppressive lights"
Lowest win rate class 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[fringe hatch]

Maybe try to go light too with thermal and stop whining?

[stuck depot]

Embark remove the 45k in one round challenge or reduce it to 40k so its doable in at least one of the casual modes, also while you're at it why not increase the cash earned in quick cash to be first to 50k and make each vault worth 25k so it matches with the final round of cash out and isn't as much of a ball ache grinding the casual modes for the 1 million cash challenge.
Some people just don't want to play cash out so give them options for these challenges.

[rustic tinsel]

You're nerfing a weapon just because it's frustrating to die to?
Getting killed is frustrating no matter what weapon it is, So what now? Nerf every weapon until no one can kill anyone? Or maybe just turn the game into a non-lethal genre?
Weapons are supposed to kill.

"but we’re also keen to ensure melee is viable in THE FINALS, so we’re cautious about changing the weapon too drastically."
Reducing a weapon’s damage by 25% isn’t “too drastic”?

You say, “we definitely believe that melee needs some work to improve its viability”
but then you turn around and nerf it anyway?
So you know melee is weak, and your “some work” is to nerf it further? That makes so much sense.

Meanwhile, Pike, a ranged weapon, outperforms actual melee weapons at melee range.
Your balancing is full of contradictions.

Let me spell it out for you:
A melee weapon is called that because it only works at close range.
And because it’s so risky to get in close, it’s supposed to be powerful up close.
There are already plenty of tools and weapons to stop someone from getting close.
If someone manages to get past all of that and closes the range, it’s only fair they win in close range.

Saying “melee weapons can never compete against guns at range, so why aren’t guns nerfed?” is obviously nonsense.
Just like this, nerfing melee weapons because they’re strong in melee is just as ridiculous.

Instead of nerfing, just buff the other weapons. That way, the players who use those weapons don’t feel unfairly punished, and those using other weapons will enjoy having more competitive options. Everyone wins. Nerfs should be handled with surgical precision, not through nonsense like slashing a weapon’s dmg by 25%.

Admitting a mistake and fixing it right away is nothing to be ashamed of. What's truly shameful is refusing to acknowledge the mistake and making things worse. No one’s going to blame you for correcting a wrong. Do something that’s actually not shameful, pleeeease.

Revert sword, sledge and dagger.

as someone who has to solo queue, this is nightmare fuel. I can't always carry two teammates on my back while trying to challenge every cashout. It is like they are dead set on making this a game of sweaty try hards

Light might be the WORST class in the game. They're annoying, sure. But they are categorically the highest skill and highest risk character to play.

[tropic egret]

Give every season pass the season 1 pass treatment (red ballerina) an extra page with different colors so us finals addicts can spend our show tokens instead of just being 50/50 forever

Idea, how about the tear in the middle of the new map makes you start healing and it also boosts your move speed so you can move linearly across the map

could we get any attention on the "end of game" sequence? there are a ton of moments that feel really bad as a player, multiple loading screens and moments that take control out of the user, why does it stop you from being able to look at the scores only to load again and show you a different score screen? and then load again for the menu?

can light please have more movement gadgets? (maybe even a new ability) rewind gadget would be cool, stim gadget/specialty would also be cool.
someone above said something about wall jumping, what if light could have a gadget/specialty, climbing picks, that would give them an improved mantle (like a wall climb), a wallhang ability, and maybe even a wall jump? that would be super cool (would probably have to be a gadget, because that's very situational, and not versatile, like a specialty should be)

It would be awesome to have the option on the store to buy cosmetics with real currency.
And I don't mean just the special packs, I mean everything.
Just have a conversion to where you can choose to pay with direct money or your virtual cash, too. I think it would be a great change for a better customer experience.

Finals should just take all their limited time modes and throw em all in a radomized casual mode called Arcade
