Instead of weird patterns and motives for weapons progression could we get more base colours that fit the different sponsors?

I always equip colors according to my sponsor outfits. Yellow with Ospuze, Blue with Iseult and so on. We lack orange for Holtow for example.

Why didn't they change the ingame link to join the open qualifier 2, it still sends you to the open qualifier 1 page, I checked every day so I could participate in the second one but just now I get the information that they have just sent the right link to discord. Embark like what is that? cmon...

[wraith orchid]

DUDE stop fucking forcing me into powershift mode with your contzrtacts. im playing this game since sewason one, have almost 2000 hours AND IM LOOSING MY MIND AT THE END OF EVERY FUCKING SEASON BC I HAVE TO PLAY THIS SHIT. and even though i dont play this shitty mode, how cant you react to the thousands of players begging you to ban the sniper rifle from this mode SINCE SEEEEEEAAAASONS.

Hear me out guys! How about a Space Station Map? 🚀

You could Imagine it with multiple Version like..

Version 1: It’s literally in space, floating with only a few low-gravity sections.

Version 2: The station has landed on a planet, with like a new small outdoor sector and stuff.

And here’s the spicy part: if you break certain walls, boom — sudden low-gravity effect in that area.

This could feel super different from the usual maps. Like, yeah, it might flop into another “Kyoto-type” map… but if you let Embark cook, it could be an absolute banger.
That's it for today, ty

[slender girder]

Power Shift needs some tweaks.

We wiped the enemy team. I landed on the platform 1-2 secs before we got the message we'd been eliminated. We would had won otherwise since the platform was basically in the middle of the map.

Also the new type of destruction isn't good for Power Shift. Maps just fall apart so the platform can become hard to reach. People shouldn't have to change classes and loadouts due to a map falling apart.

And there is a regular spawn on Kyoto that's just awful, so you should oversee the spawn points on that map.

And I am once again asking for you to set the respawn timer to always 10s in Power Shift.

[frank holly]

I love Power Shift, but having an enemy sniper in every single game is making it so tedious

[uncut depot]

How can the Riot Shield deal 90 damage, while the Hammer in a normal attack deals 100 damage? This is not fair, as there is a difference in the speed of the attack, and the Hammer attack, which takes much longer than the Riot Shield, should have higher damage،There is a difference in the speed of the strike and even the speed of the character's movement.

[dark quarry]

Can we get a blurred gun skin

[proven crown]

Plz remove riot shield from the game. It plays terribly. It's cringe like CL40 was.

Dual blades is already the more innovative mechanic, they just need a little bit of love

[tough willow]

Last night I was playing with randoms on Ranked. One of them dies and immediately calls us both the n-word. So of course I disconnect. Then I get punished with a 10 minute ban? I shouldn't have to put up with abuse for a game. I should be able to report the bad behavior and leave! The abusers should fear me, not the other way around. Or do I need to sue Embark?

[sour turtle]

HEY EMBARK,,, THE MAIN MENU SHARK IS DESTROYING MY FPS.... HOW TO DISABLE IT??????????? (9070 XT BTW)

[rustic tinsel]

Even if it's not 40º,as long as any form of aim lock exists,sword will have the most idiotic handling. Since the rotation clamp is clearly the biggest thing that makes the weapon unusable, it should not exist in the game at all.You should just revert sword back to how it was in S1 and S2, when there was no multi-hit. Sword back then was a bit weak, but that’s okay. It’s better than receiving a dumb patch that destroys the weapon’s original identity, even if it’s a weaker weapon.
Because you thought sword was weak when there was no multi-hit,you patched multi-hit in.But because your obsession with keeping that led to the dumbest decision, even removing mechanics all other weapons have.
Every weapon, when in close range, can naturally move behind the enemy or slide behind and look back to hit. And dagger is a weapon specifically designed for that. So are you going to add aim lock to all weapons? Why, sword can’t look back like all do? Every weapon can naturally look back and attack. But sword alone is restricted from doing that? Why do you discriminate only against the sword by calling it an “exploit” when all melees can do it?
Wildly spinning the aim actually wasn’t used, It was used only in very rare cases dumb enemies were stupidly stacked in one spot.
The occasional turning of aim was used to maximize multi-hit.
If the problem is wild turning, then just remove multi-hit.
Even if someone spins wildly, they’d only hit one target. That solves the problem. Of course, dmg must also be reverted.
Why you have to ruin sword’s identity that’s been there since its release just to appease the nerf whiners? M1 spam on a 150 HP class is not good. Who’s the narrow-minded person who decided on a patch like this that ruins sword’s identity by thinking “melee should just be dumb M1 spam?
Why do you ignore feedback from actual users of the weapon, and only listen to nerf whiners who never even used it?

Stop ruining the fun of the game with nerfs, balance it with buffs instead.

[molten crater]

I play on GFN and because I was on holiday, I had terrible Wi-Fi. I played a few games of WT but GFN literally kicked me from the game resulting in SEVERAL HOURS of ban (increasing in time every time I got kicked.) At the 2-hour mark I just decided to stop trying to play World Tour.

[dim swift]

[safe ravine]

It's not fair to ditch ur team because u got insulted once, is it?
Grow a pair and finish the ranked game you queued up for

In fact 10min is too little, especially for RANKED

[obsidian relic]

I think medium-sized rifles need to make more comfortable adjustments in their operating feel (I personally think so)，At present, there is no obvious difference in the damage of medium-sized rifles, and such homogenization is not conducive to the next development.

V9S sucks, V9S sucks, V9S sucks, V9S sucks, V9S sucks, V9S sucks, V9S sucks, V9S sucks, V9S sucks
Anything it wants to do at range, the ARN, LH1 or 93R does better
Anything it wants to do at CQC the M11 or DB does better.
The weapon was butchered because some top players were abusing macros and rather than BANNING those players, Embark decides to ruin the weapon by destroying the one good quality it had at CQC-medium range which was its fire rate. Now, it sits in limbo because it's out performed by everything, no top player wants to use it because it's not meta, no low skill player wants to use it because it sucks.
Bring back the fire rate for the V9S

[carmine warren]

I've been loving the Shooting gallary that was added to the practice range. I love using it for warming up and practicing my aim. However it could use a few more features:

*More aim training scenarios:
*Easy/Medium/Hard Shooting gallery variants
*Specific scenarios to practice tracking targets on jump pads and ziplines
*Dashing & grapple light tracking scenarios
*BONUS: custom scenarios with the ability to share them with other players
*Keep track of our best time on a weapon by weapon basis
*Separate best time tracking for solo challenges vs challenges with 1 teammate vs with 2, etc.
*If someone's best performance in an aiming drill isn't a full clear, track how close they got (Example: wave 3, 3/4 kills, 60 seconds)

[magic perch]

is it just me or the grind for quickplay gold 1 rank simply too long for going from bronze 4 to bronze 1 you need a total of 150 from going bronze 1 to silver 1 you need 300 points and going silver 1 to gold 1 you need 600 points making a grand total of 1050 points, assuming a 100 percent 1st place win rate you would need to win 105 matches assuming 1 match goes 15min the time goes to aprox 26.5 hours of grind which is a lot especially for quickplay, if we assume a relatively a good win rate of 60 percent you would have to play 122.5 games or 30 hours of gameplay i believe this is a bit too much especially for quick play that to gold rank(even world tour will will have better time than that)

[robust swan]

by now im wondering if sbmm is even existent

[cobalt kernel]

I expect nothing less than a huge meta shake up with Season 8 next week, just in time before the big Major tournament

Nerf winch cringe back to 10 meter range, lower stun effect, REMOVE second hit on the way back, make the chain break if you get stuck on a ledge so Heavies can't just spam it in any situation

ALL lights are forced to play Dash to counter this clown ability, every class has exactly ONE viable loadout, zero build variety!!

1 button press is dictating the whole meta right now, it's all you gonna see at the majors and it's gonna be boring AF

Nerf Pike to 49 damage and lower fire rate, hard-counters sniper and LH1

Nerf Demat recharge time

Nerf Evasive trash

Reduced max amount of Pyro mines carriable to ONE (just like expl. and glitch mine)

Buff Model Reload

Buff Revolver range by a good 10 meters, damage fall off is a joke

Bring back OG LH1, buff hip fire

Buff Pyro grenade AOE

Buff Reshaper recharge time greatly

Buff Breach charge/Vortex fuse time, takes forever to activate

Give iron sights to sniper extend hitscan range by 10 meters

Add more map modifiers and let them have a bigger impact, for example "fog" should actually limit viewing distance drastically, so gadgets like thermal and sonar grenades actually serve a purpose besides smoke+steal shenanigans

[violet kernel]

Hello, Major FEEDBACK: 6 hour of waiting. 3 matchs play ( seeding phase 2 match on 3 because of team who dont play).
Open qualifier élimination phase : 4 hour of waiting because every 30 minutes the timer goes on another 30 minutes. A lot of team stop and disqualified ( was on face it ) so the only team we played was top 40 world. So 6 Hours of waiting for only 3 game play. Zero fun. Just vers confused and angry that this évent goes like that. I expect EMBARK you Will do something please. ( please understand that I know the fact that we dont have the level to go further of course but an évent like that shoulf be fun, stressful and of course very competitive and Today it was Not.)

Embark please add the following:
◦ Option to see performance. Ping, fps, you know it.
◦ Option to make recalibration for gyro occur only
within menus. Right now it's disruptive in the middle of a shootout.
• Option to add a "tightening zone" for gyro too.
AKA "Movement slower than X degrees per second gets a slowed sensitivity"
• Option to change reticle colors for optics. Red doesn't work for me. And I would like to make them green.

• Option to use the Dualsense 5's touch pad as a button. Particularly for gyro ratcheting purposes.
• Small feature, but an easier way of discerning between headshot kills and non-headshot kills

The spawns need to be reworked because almost every game the cash out is being 3rd partied and the other cash out there is no one at giving that team a free cash out, it’s getting very annoying having to fight a 3rd party of 3rd party

[weak atlas]

A Riot rework could be nice.

I suggest a Riot Shield that slides into sections. while sprinting, it condenses to be a third of its size now, and can only be full body while walking or standing still.

Give Heavy a hoverboard specialization - goes faster downhill and can damage players if it hits them, but not as strong as CnS. Can grind on fences/rails and has some actual hovering in mid-air potential to cross some gaps Heavy normally couldn't. Heavy cannot shoot/swing/throw while on the hoverboard.

[crystal umbra]

It's too late for me to have any requests for season 8 but I'll be honest and say that I am starting to think I'm having less fun solo queing. Even with my friends it feels less fun or we get fatigued more quickly.

Next season we have decided to play more Ranked & world tour rather than playing TDM all the time so hopefully that will help but a part of me is skeptical. We are pretty sure there will be no new gadgets or weapons next season so I have a hard time thinking I'll enjoy anything new or fresh that will shake things up for the game.

I understand there are going to be events that you guys have planned, the "major" being one of them. As the average player just on the game I'm looking at the weapons and attachments that I'll be able to work towards on BF6 and I'm excited to have something to do.

In the finals I can "go for the glory" and try to climb rank, or I can play world tour but my stack of VRS is maxed out.

I have a few dreams I would like to see become a reality in the finals (some more than others):

-An update, rework, or remaster of the seemingly underused club system. (Maybe I'm wrong but I had much higher hopes for clubs personally)
-A player profile of some sort where I can select a friend or random players profile and can see a visual representation of how much money they have accumulated playing the finals
-A clip saving or sharing section where we as a community can interact and see some of the moments other contestants have saved...?
-More attachments to maybe spend my VRS on?

Generally I feel like I want more to do, or I feel like I want to take a break and wait for more content to be added to the game. 2 new seasons without any weapons ain't doing it for me.

That along with the upcoming mideval map is probably going to send me off the game for a bit cuz the past is boring to me.

Maybe I'm just burned out but thanks for listening to me yap a bit 🚀

[versed dagger]

goo mines

[tight verge]

Could you please just make the dagger right click changed just a little bit? Please just make the right click instant up front, but add a delay at the end... movement penalty and so you can't melee or attack again afterwards. That would make this weapon so much more fun to play, I promise. And it wouldn't even change anything, because you still have the same delay, but it's just at the tail end now, as opposed to the front end. So, now you're just punished for missing, as opposed to being punished for trying.

Honestly, all of the other nerfs would be fine and acceptable if this was put in place. And this isn't even necessarily a buff. It is just a user-friendly ease-of-use thing. It would just make it that much more pleasant to use as opposed to getting stuck in this held right-click animation and just playing like a cringer, just waiting and ratting around corners and stuff. It would encourage so much more fun, dynamic fights.

Please please please tweek ranked with solo Q i beg. I have lost first round last 3 games 1000 each time. And yet i have been top on my team in most stats. Im not saying its impossible to win and im not saying stats are everything (alot of the story isnt in the stats). But it would be nice to lower the amount lost based on player contribution and if not already take being the the same party into account when setting seeds. Just alittle brake for us solo Qs would be nice

[sharp herald]

just to add to this, if you solo Q, you should lose less RP, duos lose slightly more, and 3 stacks lose the most amount

[shrewd heart]

Add a tactical mode. CQC, teammates get downed, you can drag them and heal them. Mobility isn't crazy and tilting is a thing. Just slow gameplay would be cool.

[pliant lion]

I haven't played for a few weeks but now my game keeps crashing every second match, anyone else having constant game crashes on PC? This is my 5th crash in about an hour time, the game even crashed in the splash screen once.

[proven wave]

Light just seems inadequate compared to other classes now. Heavy with the addition of its heal orb + getting healed by a light (which should never have been a thing) makes them almost industructible. The addition of heal gun was terrible for the meta and esp light vs heavy/medium TTK when they're being healed. Medium already had a heal beam and this just made it irrelevant.

Also, light in general just doesn't feel good to play anymore, it's lacking in power. You nerfed M11 recently for long range, then it also has a nasty side/side sway. V9S is a shell of its former self. I see desperate lights running sword or SG now which is incredibly boring.

The goo grenade meta and the amount of shots it takes to destroy is also absolutely ridiculous. There's times I need to empty 2+ mags of M11 into a goo wall just to get through.

Game needs better balancing.

[supple mortar]

Please revert sword's angle lock and super dash change. Genuinely removes any kind of ability to track players. If they even slightly move to the side, you lose the fight. Simple as that.
Nerf the cleave instead.

[slim crystal]

Love to see some weapon reworks, XP-54 reload time should be shortened by .4 seconds, blast radius on the cl-40 should wider and it should do more structural damage, swords should take more damage when blocking, and the sword charge attack on lights should not block as much damage as it does.

[celest forum]

Class specializations have been stuck at level 5 since season one.
Add more levels to them please, my idea would be a cool emote that demonstrates what the spec does.
So the emote for mesh shield would be some rockets flying in and a heavy stopping them just in time.
Invis the emote is those holograms fighting a contestant then they go invisible.

[low gazelle]

Defibs need a rework.

It feels like the player getting revived is punished for a poorly timed defib, instead of the player using them.

Getting defibbed is the most annoying thing in the game for me right now. I absolutely hate it.

The compromises of a fast revive needs to fall on the user. Perhaps make the charge time longer, like 3 seconds or something, but make the player getting revived comes back instantly with no lockout on gadgets or specializations.

Or maybe make the defibs work instantly like it used to but make the user sacrifice half their health to give to the player getting revived. That way you can't really chain revives as everyone would have low health and the user of the defibs can bear some of the punishment for poor usage and the player getting revived won't feel like a sitting duck with no abilities for 5 seconds.

[limpid orchid]

[pearl mountain]

hello The Finals gamers 🙂
idk how many hours i have right now, but i’m level 48 so we’ll just go with that

i’ve been having a lot of fun while playing The Finals, it’s really a breath of fresh air from other games and the gameplay loop + destruction makes every match feel unique, and also, make every match feel like i need to adapt other than just having better aim.
The monetization is very consumer friendly too, i bought the battle pass with 17 days left to complete it and i just did. In addition, with just two purchases of Multibucks, im able to get 4 BP’s, so thats really coo!!
The classes feel very unique with clear weaknesses and strenghts, tho i have not found a clear class that i like best (since i love basically all — light’s sheer dps, medium’s unmatched utility and heavy’s brawling capabilities)

it’s been very VERY fun this far, and i hope season 8 makes me fall in love even more with the game.

I do however, have just a few complaints… First, please add a sensitivity multiplier for Heavy’s mesh shield? i play on PS4 and my sensitivity isn’t sky-rocketed so sometimes turning with heavy’s mesh shield is just painful.
The second complaint is one idk if you guys can fix, but South America’s servers are very “dead”, but not so dead — quick cash takes around 1min or 2min to find, which is GREAT really easy to join in and out of matches
the problem is, we can’t really play ranked modes, since all of them are very dead. It’s not rare to take more than 15min to find a World Tour match, and that really sucks since i consider World Tour to be Final’s main game mode. If i want to play WT, i gotta switch to North America servers and play with perma bad ping, which is not reaaally really bad but still not peak fun.

Other than that, love the game.
I have, indeed, reached The Finals.

Fix sledge hit detection

[limpid forge]

Miscellaneous improvements:

Make 9 contestant slots (or enough so you can have 1 contestant per specialization).
Make team death match objective score kills subtracted by deaths or total money earned/lost. I understand the mode isn't competitive and it's not that serious but it would be cool if you could see what you're truly contributing, for example 20 kills and 20 deaths means you contributed almost nothing since you gained as much money for your team as you lost, but if you got 9 kills 0 deaths you actually had a positive gain even if it doesn't look as impressive.
Fix the animation where you surf the slug on the DB so its still red when using virtual extension. It looks like you guys made it so it changes colors for skins and made it so if no color is assigned the default should be grey, but I think the most iconic shell color especially for the virtual extension skin should be red.
Love you Embark!!!

[primal mantle]

Change the tournament rules (for ranked)

Being in 2nd place means you'll get grieffed out 9 times out of ten and the final fight you'll have to fight 3 teams to get it back (the top team helping one of the bottom teams, the bottom team trying to also defend the cashout with the top team, the last team trying to make it through still).

The difficulty spike for the 2nd place is wayyy too high if you are down by 3-5k.

"Feeling they were hit unexpectedly when a player lunged them." You’re in close range and you’re surprised you got hit by a melee weapon? If you're in a situation where a sword lunge can hit turn arround, then any melee could do that.

Every weapon, when in close range, can naturally move behind the enemy or slide behind and turn to hit from the back. And dagger is a weapon specifically designed for that. Then wouldn't people feel "hit unexpectedly" by dagger too? So are you going to add aim lock to dagger? Why, sword can’t turn around like dagger does? Every weapon can naturally turn around and strike an enemy’s back. But sword alone is restricted from doing that?

Aim spinning wildly wasn't actually used, and anyone who actually played sword at a competitive level understood that.
Occasionally turning the aim wildly in certain situations was done to maximize multi-hit. Then just remove multi-hit, and you won’t need to add aim lock—which is the most frustrating patch in THE FINALS. Even if you spin wildly, you’ll only hit one person, so the problem is solved.

Even if it's not 40 degrees, as long as any form of aim lock exists, sword will have the most idiotic handling. Aim lock is the dumbest choice. Of course, you’d need to revert the damage too.

Just 74 M1 and 140 lunge is enough. Like in S1. That version was slightly weak. So in mid S2, you thought sword was weak and buffed multi-hit in a stealth patch. But because you were obsessed with keeping that, you made a stupid decision. You even removed functions that all other weapons can do.

Sword being like it was in Season 3, and if all the other weapons get buffed so much that they become far stronger than sword and sword ends up being the weakest weapon. That would still be much better. Because sword itself hasn’t changed. Having the weapon you’ve been using get nerfed, restricted, and have its identity destroyed is, more than anything else, the very "frustrating" thing ever.

🚨GAME JUST GLITCHED OUT BETWEEN WT ROUNDS!! After sitting in end of game lobby for next round and both rounds finished, we sat in the lobby for 15 minutes! Then we left because we figured it was a glitch or something wrong with the servers. THEN WE GOT HIT WITH AN ABANDONED MATCH PENALTY!! We were on track to win the tournament!! I expect some type of win point compensation or SOMETHING for this! Fix the server issue and glitches please!!🚨

[crude saffron]

hopping back here to say revert the gravity vortex duration buff. It made it worse. also buff model reload

Plz buff more weapons for all classes. Bring back the og lewis gun

Add megaultra heavy to the match making queue soundtrack for season 2

[sharp herald]

I keep having crashes from smooth 165 FPS to a freeze that usually closes the game

they nerfed optimization in the last few patches, it was getting a bit too OP and so they had to dial it back down a bit to keep it in line

Spear: Either increase the attack speed and leave the damage or increase the damage of the first swing in the combo combo from 65 to 70 and the last one from 90 to 95 making it 70, 80, 95 and leave the attack speed and increase the spin attack damage to 120, it needs to kill a heavy with 3 hits because

Reason #1: you're vulnerable to being shot and killed during the animation

Reason #2: you move slow during the animation

Reason #3: you can't manually cancel it unless you use the communication wheel

and make the lunge speed a little faster because everytime i lunge towards my target, i don't get any closer, i've tried it on the dummies in the practice range

KS-23: either give it a 1.3x headshot multiplier and make the hitbox of it big and leave the bodyshot damage or decrease the fire rate to 73 RPM and increase the player damage to 120

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 blocking and deflecting and make it so the blades deflect pellets from shotguns more consistently and accurately because right now it's bugged, it deflects one pellet and then deflects more pellets at a certain range and the bullets come out of the person's head instead of their gun at point blank range, pls fix the bug

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

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

Model 1887: remove the eject-and-catch-shell reload animation and make its tactical reload like the KS-23's tactical reload and increase the fire rate to 85 RPM

Hey so, when I press quit game that means quit the game. Not linger around in the background for the next 2 minutes still eating my cpu. That means kill the process.

[placid lark]

Heavy nerf sniper no scope thank please

[potent solar]

setting the game to fullscreen helped with the weird mouse input delay as opposed to borderless windowed (at like +3ms frame time tradeoff). you can still tell if you're tabbed out moving your mouse and the blue loadout select screen loads. mouse feels more weighted and I think its a similar thing to the halvng sensitivity bug (compare with high dpi / sens for dramatic effect). may be the anticheat but idk because it changes with the server.

also your Embark AB servers are more consistent than google but the consistency is at a lower quality. google is better when its better (in USA) and the AB servers feel kind of loose with more no regs. Lots of people standing still rezzing or stealing that don't take headshot dmg or lights taking 3+ sniper shots to kill. Mostly happens on AB servers

[mental delta]

Revamp gloves: have a “left hand” and “right hand” option in Style instead of “hands” (or make them sub-menus) so we can equip varying gloves

To make this work, glove options that currently only exist on one hand will now have to exist on both. If problems arise because of mirrored text/logos, if it’s too much trouble to flip it the other way then just get rid of it, it’s already on one hand. The bonus page of S7 has an item called “Volpe Knockouts” plural but it’s only one glove when there’s no reason it shouldn’t have been two

With my best regards, sir. Can I get this pant skin in another version with black and OSPUZE yellow in the Future? I love the model and design of these pants so much. but I feel so bad that the color palette is not my favorite. I mean, I love OSUPUZE so much. This pro juice makes so POP! I love it, and you know what? I can POUR everything I have to make PERFORM so high for the CEO, Zofia Petronelle. And I hope my royalty will enable me to get a cool black and yellow design, like the one I edited, to be sold in stores soon. I'm really sure that I'm gonna wear these pants and show off my skill and make Zofia proud in the arena. Trust me. With these cool black and yellow pants, the new Rising star will be in my hands.

[clear quest]

Something does need to be about this, it's been happening since the betas and it's a real scummy way of guaranteeing a easier win in the next round for the top team. I've been on both sides of this fence and it shouldn't be encouraged.
Ideally the matches should be balanced so everyone is at the same skill level and a even playing field so the games are alot closer. But the games aren't balanced and cheaters/smurfs ruin the balancing even more so that will never happen.

[graceful snow]

where is the need for the hooks stun effect? idc block me from running away but why cant i at least fight or shoot back? they already hook me in their face playing shotgun, even If i was allowed to fight back i had bad chances

[tacit whale]

Riot shield skin idea:

[orchid osprey]

You need to start to curb back aim assist and do something about people cheating with scripts and cronus zen. You guys are going to get embarrassed when someone shows how bad it's getting in a youtube video one of these days, and people with a brain will just exodus this game. Every content creator on controller is snapping to people and lasering them, and these are the ones "trying light for the first time". Why would I want to spend hundreds of hours getting better aim (than I've gotten in the hundreds I've practiced etc.) if people are just going to hit every shot on enemies outside their guns intended range on moving targets and win the game doing so? Let me just plug in my controller and gain all that skill. Or maybe I'll buy a cronus zen, since you made sure to accomodate all those Xbox cheaters using it.

[modern terrace]

plz it's season 8 soon plzzz fix deadzone setting remove hidden deadzone give us true 0 deadzone

[sterile canopy]

So as not to advantage the victim. The heavy using the winch is effectively stunned for a similar period while the animation plays, if there was no stun you’d be able to take off a decent chunk of their healthbar easily before they could shoot

buff the arn its unbelievably weak.It doenst have any strong side other than fast reload.Its easily overpowered by almost all other light guns in close range and in long range is overpowered by Medium guns.It just useless at this point.I be better of picking 93r or xp or m11

[rancid ridge]

You seriously gotta think of a way to fix the revolver. Its absolute abomination right now. It barely does any damage to the body from any range, and you expect us to hit headshots with those servers. Headshots with that weapon's accuracy and servers are practically immposible. Aether make it more accurate or buff the body dmg cause it sucks ahh

[cinder terrace]

Some cool sword animations are missing 🙁

[wind prism]

Any idea if there is any plan to remove the MMR from ranked and have it just be RS based? I find it to make the gameplay experience a lot worse than it should be.

[coral seal]

Sounds like a skill issue. Arn is my favourite gun the game, if u know how to play Ur angles and pick Ur Fights right it shreds and the double mag just makes it so reliable. Maybe it just requires a bit more thinking to have success with

[exotic elk]

Information regarding a new map concept for The Finals Season 8 is currently speculative and based on community discussions . There has been no official announcement from Embark Studios at this time.

Here's a summary of community theories:

No New Weapons or Gadgets: Multiple sources within the community suggest that the developers have stated they will not be adding new weapons, gadgets, or specializations in Season 8. The reasoning behind this is believed to be a focus on balancing the existing game and preparing for a major esports event happening during the season.

Focus on Maps: While there's a rumor that there might not be a new map at all, a more prominent theory suggests a heavy focus on maps. This could mean not only a new map but also more variations to existing maps, such as different weather effects (rain, fog, etc.) or time-of-day changes.

A "Health Check" Season: Some players have speculated that Season 8 will be a "health check" season, where the developers prioritize fixing bugs, addressing balance issues, and making the game more "esports ready" before adding significant new content in later seasons.

New Player Experience: Embark has announced changes to the new player experience for Season 8, including the introduction of "Playstyles," which are pre-made contestant templates to help new players understand the game's mechanics more easily. This is a confirmed change but does not directly relate to a new map.

In short, any concepts for a new map in The Finals Season 8 are currently fan-generated and not officially confirmed. The focus for this season appears to be on stability and balance rather than a major content drop.

[split cairn]

This is MY review and feedback as a new player.
Started the game like 2 weeks ago on PS5, and i'm 35+ hours in. LVL 40

The Finals is an absolute blast. The destructive environments, the fast-paced team combat, skins/battlepass, a REALLY good microtransaction module and the unique cashout objective make for some of the most thrilling moments in modern shooters. When the gameplay clicks, it's pure, chaotic magic.

However, the experience is consistently undermined by what can only be described as absolute abysmal matchmaking. I find myself pitted against what seems to be a pre-made team of esports pros who are LVL 80+, while my own teammates are still learning the controls. Victories feel unearned by only getting the cashout at the last second and holding for dear life, and losses that feel inevitable. There is no grace period. From your very first match, you are just as likely to be placed against max-level players with optimized loadouts. its utterly unforgiving and seems to actively punish anyone who isn't already a veteran.

The core game is a 9/10, but the matchmaking creates a frustrating and demoralizing loop where learning is replaced by losing. For a game that needs a healthy influx of new blood to survive, its matchmaking is arguably its biggest failure. because buried under this frustration is a fantastic game that most newcomers will never get to experience properly.

Best matchmaking system ever

[limpid orchid]

Embark need to rework World Tour matchmaking ASAP to facilitate finding matches for servers IF there is lack of players in these modes.
Its absurd how South America and Oceania is literally left out of World Tour.
Entire player bases on these servers have never ever experienced any World Tour features since we basically can only find Quick Cash, TDM and Powershift matches.

[brave flame]

Hmo….
The finals… but a mobile app!!!
So although you are not able to play the game, you should be able to manage load outs, customize outfits, make purchases, etc….

Also please add this emote:

[safe ravine]

I wanted to share an opinion I have that should ease the hate towards the low gravity event.
This event is by no means bad, but imo what causes the frustration of it, is the transition between low grav and normal (and vice versa). It is too sudden, and sometimes it's not very clear when it's still on or off. So maybe starting with a visual effx would be nice.

But I had a suggestion that could render it maybe more of a unique event: instead of being turned on and off. Maybe you could change it so it becomes gradually lower grav until it peaks to the current low grav that we have for a couple seconds, then it'll lower it again over the span of the game until it runs out.
I don't think this is a bad idea but need experimentation (maybe in WT?). Then get player feedback and see how it goes.

[mental delta]

The real issue people have with low gravity is that it makes jump pads way overkill, making reliable verticality scarce. It’s not an exaggeration to say if you’re trying to go up a building in low gravity it might literally be faster to go up on foot than it is to use a jump pad, whether it’s one of yours or one built into the map. Using a jump pad in low gravity just turns you into a stray defenseless balloon

[topaz jungle]

Maybe color the jump pads differently during the event so players can infer it as a caution?

[quick coyote]

You should be able to name your loadouts

[pearl crag]

If you edit weapon / gadget customization via Equipment screen, it should apply to all the contestants that you will create from that point on

also please let us remove stuff from the emote / sound / spray wheel

[ocean citrus]

Nerf 2 obviously op gadgets:

• Infuser: increase cooldown from 10 seconds (or whatever it is) to 20 seconds
• Defibs: each time you use a defibrillator if your teammate also has a defibrillator he gets +10 seconds cooldown (this way we can nerf MMM teams (or MMX)

[covert stump]

please increase the maximum sensitivity on pc

[smoky sluice]

remove the fucking dagger

[calm gazelle]

Have the option to attach saved emote wheels and intro/outro emotes and maybe even gun skins to saved outfits, not contestant load outs. It would be cool if you could switch outfits and instantly have your emotes and weapon skins match.

[slender girder]

You need to post 30 messages in the server. You currently have 5.

[rocky perch]

Color palettes, for our clothing we are forced to wear

[junior holly]

Please Embark do something about leavers and AFKers in ranked. Nothing makes me want to uninstall and never return faster than having an AFK or leaver, espsecially one who is disconnected due to server issues, and then I am forced to play the remainder of the game AND lose full RS points for something that is in no way my fault. Its the antithesis of fun.

[random lagoon]

Did you look at the little piece on the bottom? Honestly the revolver lines up really well imo, also another thing, we already have a Winchester

[broken tiger]

This was intentional to my knowledge, i remember it being something like, "made this more unreliable"

It has to do with where the melee actually impacts the box, sending it in different locations. I dont like it either but they did it on purpose

[uneven dagger]

Can we maybe get some way to manually tilt a jump pad’s angle instead of making or depending on angled surfaces every time? It’ll remove the need for some to run both zip line and jump pads for both verticality and distance

@torpid quarry and then give it to heavy

[torpid quarry]

Wouldnt that further reduce what little support medium(the "support" class) has left to contribute to a team? I dont mean to sound like a nay sayer, just find it a lil upsetting to think about as a cucked medium main

[echo urchin]

A boy can dream

[jagged vector]

Reworks duel blade and sword please

[pliant tulip]

this is a small suggestion. lets say we report cheaters or blatant griefers. we get rewarded with a justice badge. and for each verified and fair report we do the badges gets points and over time goes up in rank.

as i've report dime a dozen griefs who in last round just jump off the edge and throw the game. (literally last night was one guy like that)
and today i got a "thank you for reporting" mail.

i think there should be something to reward us for facing bad sportsmen like players

[hidden solstice]

yay

[severe linden]

I have to press start like 4 times before the menu appears

[burnt notch]

Bring back the pervious announcer voice at the start of season 7, I liked how loud and imposing it was compared to the current weaker one
Pllssssss

[slim crystal]

It would be nice to be able to have the option to spectate world tour/ranked after being knocked out

[patent portal]

Got back on after about a month break from this game, took 5+ minutes to find a world tour game(us central servers), finally got into a game, teammates IMMEDIATELY started fighting and calling each other slurs. We lost of course, I get back to the main menu and I can’t even navigate around because idk some kind of glitch. Deleting this bum ass game hope yall have fun

[tribal spoke]

Ways to buff the dual blades: Nerf winch, let the blades reflect winch, make dual blades deal 65/65 dmg each removing the current combo system, make the blades attack 10-15% faster, make the deflect have a flat delay instead of the serverside delay it has now, increase the inner deflect window so more shots are considered direct hits and reflect off the blades properly

[vale wraith]

Please set the Defibs back to .75 sec!!!!

[untold hazel]

nerf p90

[ebon monolith]

I didnt play for 4 months and whene i did the whole pc crashed not just the game got blue screen and the ssd busted cus of this fking game

[cerulean echo]

When Riot shield is equipped, lower movement speed by a percentage. As it is right now like with any exploitable and unbalanced weapon, it is spammed, and people are just quitting matches becuase of it. Especially when paired with grenade launcher teammate(s).

Its.. not.. good......

[balmy bluff]

true

[grave folio]

Me and my team have been waiting for the finals round to start and dont want to leave because we will get penalized

[harsh cliff]

the seeding point system is just cancer, remove this stupid system. do something else. something depending on many aspects, show love to solo Q players. in anyway. do something for the love of god. you make this ranked to make people hate your game. I swear I know many people that deleted the game because of ranked, it's just horrible. it needs rework. all these ruby and diamoned players are just smurfing to boost each other, or cheating. it's just stupid. it's not competitive. go rework it, pleaaaaaaaaaase

[coarse scroll]

add goblins to the finals

[mental delta]

For Dreamhack, let players in LAN parties play any game mode they want, limited timed ones included. They don't need rewards, just the mode. I'm not gonna be there but I know if I was going to THE FINALS motherland for the express purpose being to bask in some authentic officially sanctioned THE FINALS gameplay at the biggest event in THE FINALS that I would want to be able to experience everything THE FINALS can/has offered. I just think it would be a really awesome perk of going to a miniature THE FINALS-con

You can edit your buttons, my ping is right stick and quick melee LB

I had the urban ronin outfit and still have gamepass but the outfit has disappeared, can someone help

[nova osprey]

Better yet, let’s just make the announcer so loud you can’t hear anything at all

[wary bay]

CL deserve some nerf.
edit because some people are peanutbrained.

My issue is how forgiving is CL when you shoot underself, and i think selfinflicted damage should be singificantly increased or alternatively APS turret should not recieve as much damage from explosive projectiles since CL/MGL can destroy it in less than magazine.

the point isnt how ive aimed, i knew even if i tried i wouldnt win, so my only chance was to get to him as close as possible and melee kill.

[spare topaz]

can we work on and fix the currents weapons and gadgets?

[fiery osprey]

this is such a skill issue you miss 90% of your shots and blame the weapon? awful gameplay

Add more maps to Powershift!!

[nocturne tendon]

Please fix ladders, so you have to look at them to climb them or something

[mossy mural]

Love the game but there are a bunch of problems that need to be fixed yet more and more cosmetics are making it into the game. A buddy and I loaded into a ranked match with a random and before the match or count down even started my buddies game closed out. The random and I end up losing the first round and we both lost over 900 RS. To make matters worse, my buddy got penalized and can't play ranked now

[quartz glade]

!~Please Embark~!
More game events in World Tour, permanently add the reworked Dead go Boom and Kaiju events to it, new events is fun in world tour. More double barrel events too as a world tour event. Lets get crazy!
Review the grind for world tour. I feel like i've played so many games this season and world tour shouldn't be as grindy as it is if it's the more casual version of ranked. Yes i win here and there but man... i'm burnnning out OR...
🪙 Change world tour rank progression to total cash extracted instead of points, feels like it better matches the whole Finals lore! Money extracted goes brrrrr
🔫 Rewards for world tour, give users a token that they can use to redeem a specific season reward rather than it being set per tier and then you can go to a shop and select which ones you want
🌟 More signature abilities for each class. Buff Turret. Buff Heal beam. Feels like demat is just so good.
💯 Let us view the history of our Summary of matches, i can never remember who I played with, at least like the last 10 or something
Have a stats per season rather as well as our overall stats and per class
🎙️ Separate that 3rd in game announcer from the contestant voice lines in the settings, i really don't want to hear him repeat his things so often please. I want to hear the contestants, i don't want to hear him, the 2 main announcers are great.
Let us see other players spinning or emoting in the lobby

[honest bloom]

Buff v9s bring back its old fire rate and reduce the body shot to 38 🙏

[safe ravine]

Update this Embark: some of the older fits doesn't allow for number customization. Would be nice to see this changed.
Also, player number often doesn't match on the arena screen or on player card. Seems like it gets randomized.

Also please bring medieval season, and lock the new map behind a LTE where u only play with knights outfits or chevalresque fits in general. With no guns only melee or bows, etc... To fit the setting
To incentivize us to learn the map thru this immersive way. Would be so awesome. After a day or 2, release the full map on regular mode.

Finally, earlier I've been staling a vault during a Kyoto QuickCash. So we could win on time and run away from ennemies with grapple etc. It actually was so fun! And Kyoto is so fit for that.
Maybe we should try to have a tag gamemode. I'm sure it would be so good! It creates a tense feelings when you're so close to get away. Would be so fresh to the game.
If not tag, make it as an infection gamemode, just like Halo.

[fierce valve]

Plz specializations. We need more specs than we do weapons.

[royal fractal]

i think its best to revert sword to before the buff.
No more aim locking, back to old (lowered) dmg

remove doubling as a whole from ranked, no "hur dur 7 second to double it like you're stealing it", just remove it

there is no good argument for keeping it in at this point, it's solely used as a tool by the leading team to pick and choose who they want in the final round

[stable summit]

i think the sniper on the sys map is broken because there is some spots where u just cant get to without grapple

[cerulean echo]

The ability to send "likes" to other players' game cards and inspect their displayed character. This promotes spending on skins and encourages grinding for specific accolades. This social dynamic also creates an intangible but meaningful incentive for players to care about their accounts on a sentimental level, so that they will act more appropriately in game, as to avoid getting banned, too preserve their account personalization.
This personalization could also deepen the connection for the core player base on a personal level and add flavor to the game

im not sure if i posted this already, so apologies if spam.

[analog fog]

kyoto plays like ass cheek, just take it out of the game already. Also bring back bank it. the fact that terminal attack is still in the game but you took bank it out is mind boggling

[thorn spade]

I generally enjoy the game, the destruction, super fun. TDM is my favorite mode. The one problem I have is how scores are handled per round in the match. If both teams end with the same score at the end of a round, that round should be a tie, not a win or a loss to one team or the other. That's it. That's all I have and like I said, I really enjoy the game especially the destruction.

[languid charm]

can we limit the amount of CL40 players in one team to ONE or just REMOVE THE WEAPON

Delete kyoto from the game i dont wanna see ts NO MORE.

[lost patrol]

A potential rework for defib could be integrating it into heal beam, such as using the heal beam to resurrect someone in 2.5/3 seconds by healing them. This could take maybe 100-150hp off of its charge. Something along the lines of TF2 MvM Medic's ability to resurrect teammates.

This change would achieve 3 things.

1. Forcing the user to actually think and commit to the res, instead of mindlessly defibbing teammates constantly. A higher charge cost will force the user into deciding between healing a teammate that's still alive, or reviving a teammate that's dead.

2. Limit the amount of defibs to the heal beam users, freeing up slots for other gadgets and incentivising the use of heal beam. This would help give it back it's support role (adding the ability to revive from a distance) and stand up against the H+ infuser.

3. Reducing the punishment of the teammate who got revived, as using heal beam will require not just charge, but potentially a cooldown. They will also immediately begin being healed, which would help mitigate the "revived in the middle of a fire fight" part of defib's annoying side.

To mitigate potential balance issues, some of these could be tried:

• Overheating the heal beam entirely/using all 250hp after a res. (reduces "zombie horde" gameplay and forces full commitment to the res)

• Removing the wind-up/rematerialisation animation on revive, but still keeping the gadgets disabled (Less punishing for the teammate that got revived)

• Reducing the health on revive to 40% instead of 50% (Less punishing for enemies)
• Forcing a new, longer overheat state when reviving teammates. (Less punishing for enemies, also reduces "zombie horde" gameplay)

Also, in terms of skins, they can just be reworked into heal beam skins imho. the balance should take priority, and refunds should be issued if this integration does happen. The clothing irons can be reworked into a handheld steamer, and the wires can be reworked into a more DIY/Scrapyard type skin.

[delicate marlin]

please make grenades visible. Youve been promising to do that for around 2 seasons now. Maybe buff recharge though

[scenic path]

Theres a bug or something ingame if i set all the video/graphics settings to the lowest and play and then get off everytime i reopen the game it doesn’t save the settings and goes baack to everything epic😔 i literally only got into this server to say this. Hopefully this gets fixed cause its so annoying everytime it goes back to epic

[brisk tangle]

You had the high ground on top of the slot machines, no reason for you to come closer to them if you already had an advantage over the CL-40, 100% skill issue.

ignore what ever is being said in this channel and talk to the teams that qualified for the LAN tourney on how to balance your game.

[topaz token]

Ok, I just had what I think might be a really cool idea to try out. In Power Shift, as the platform moves, a pile of coins should be generating and growing larger as it progresses. That way it feels like you’re actually moving the platform somewhere for a specific reason outside of getting it from point A to B. It would also look rad, and it has the added element of making the platform more dynamic, limiting tactical options on the point if you can’t place things like APS, turret, or barricades on the pile of coins. You could also make it so coins from kills directly on the point are added to the pile as bonus money that is added to the total rather than making it a flat $40k limit for winning. The kills on point adding to the pot would also make those close, hard fought games where the platform barely leaves the start feel more rewarding and interesting since there’s usually a ton of battling done on point in those matches, but very little payout when you finish in overtime. It’s like in squid games, how much less appealing would the prize money be if you didn’t see it added to the giant glass piggy bank when people are elminated? Potential downsides are that I could see a pile of coins that limits defensive options being annoying to some players, and making it harder for a team to have a massive comeback if they’re trying to move the point all the way back to the start when the team that is ahead has already amassed a large pile of booty.

[rustic tinsel]

Even if it's not 40º,as long as any form of aim lock exists,sword will have the most idiotic handling. Since the rotation clamp is clearly the biggest thing that makes the weapon unusable, it should not exist in the game at all.You should just revert sword back to how it was in S1 and S2, when there was no multi-hit. Sword back then was a bit weak, but that’s okay. It’s better than receiving a dumb patch that destroys the weapon’s original identity, even if it’s a weaker weapon.
Because you thought sword was weak when there was no multi-hit,you patched multi-hit in.But because your obsession with keeping that led to the dumbest decision, even removing mechanics all other weapons have.
Every weapon, when in close range, can naturally move behind the enemy or slide behind and look back to hit. And dagger is a weapon specifically designed for that. So are you going to add aim lock to all weapons? Why, sword can’t look back like all do? Every weapon can naturally look back and attack. But sword alone is restricted from doing that? Why do you discriminate only against the sword by calling it an “exploit” when all melees can do it?
Wildly spinning the aim actually wasn’t used, It was used only in very rare cases dumb enemies were stupidly stacked in one spot.
The occasional turning of aim was used to maximize multi-hit.
If the problem is wild turning, then just remove multi-hit.
Even if someone spins wildly, they’d only hit one target. That solves the problem. Of course, dmg must also be reverted.
Why you have to ruin sword’s identity that’s been there since its release just to appease the nerf whiners? M1 spam on a 150 HP class is not good. Who’s the narrow-minded person who decided on a patch like this that ruins sword’s identity by thinking “melee should just be dumb M1 spam?
Why do you ignore feedback from actual users of the weapon, and only listen to nerf whiners who never even used it?

Stop ruining the fun of the game with nerfs, balance it with buffs instead.

[storm tide]

Everything weak in that way game is not fun, plus melee struggles with that the most, why adding weapon class that suppose to be the beast into close range, and make it worse than weapons that are good in both close to mid range, nearly every fun "bug", nukes, goo planes instead of becoming interested feature and additional use case for util becomes instinct, S1, S2 was good because everywhere was chaos, and it was fun to play, now it's just, idk, grind on grind, why we as players should play different modes to grind different points, why don't make so we could earn general points across all modes(changing from quick modes points) earning wt points in ranked too, and ranked points leave like it is, in that way people do spend less time grinding and spend more attention to playing for fun, also from what features to add other utilities if U consider bringing back nukes, U can buff dome shield making it carryable, motion sensor, stick to the players, grappler if U attach to the player U move to him, but players can break grappler connection using two qm, or use it as advantage over U, shooting in your direction, smth like that, additional features that allows overplaying different scenarios differently, just give us more options, more buffs, and it will be truly chaotic and interesting game

[smoky sluice]

yeah im mad that this game is no fun anymore, in ranked i can play against 9 riot shields and tdm is full of lights swarming me like its zombie mode

[jade cloak]

This Channel is pretty toxic and has pretty bad ideas.

But pro players usually try to lobby balance changes to their favor (which also kinda happens in this Channel with the casuals)

• High level Finals is a different game than Low Level. You cant Just balance in favor of one, disregarding the other

[dense ocean]

I believe there are too many progression systems, it would be nice to simplify everything

Hello The FINALS devs, can you add an option to the game where we can save crosshair design? so we can just switch to whatever crosshair we want to use. I personally use differect crosshair depending on my playstyle but it gets tiring to change it again and again all the time. So please I hope you'll add an option to save many crosshair designs

[split bloom]

they will not do such useful things, they r busy making new skins

[thin hinge]

Not the biggest idea but I wish there was a setting where i could just mute the text chat at once instead of muting my teammates text chat one by one. I can understand that could be some communication limitations because you wouldn’t be able to make a strategy with your teammate (but to be fair, most of the players just play by themselves in casual mode and there’s no strategy - which is usually rush and die) if they have the chat hidden and also if they have the audio disabled. I just don’t like to mute chat everytime i join a different match. One of the things I loved about this game when I first started in season 1 was that I couldn’t communicate with no one (a lot of counter strike trauma not gonna lie). To be honest, I prefer to play with the text chat disabled and audio disabled. Of course this would not be the best for high elo ranked tournaments because communication is key.

edit: I don’t know if this would work but it could be interesting to make a way where new players face bots instead of real players. This will help them to understand the game instead of being beamed by everyone. Apex Legends has this. I don’t know if there’s something similar but if there’s not, it could be a cool idea

[silent abyss]

We need more chill, sponsored cosmetics. The cat maid is a bit strange tbh and if we keep on getting that type of aesthetic the finals is gonna become the anime convention soon enough

Just ran a game where bots where basically fake players. Seems hackers figure out how to put bots in the games. The bots place a turret and just shoot once and twitch side to side while only shooting one bullet at a time.

Two MAJORS problems in this game. BALANCE and SERVERS.
Give us an API to check some stats. SHOW US HOW MEDIUM AND HEAVY ARE OVER THE TOP COMPARE TO LIGHT

** General feedback **

• In WT, objective score should give you more point at the end of a game
• If you do more than 50% of damage on an ennemy, YOU MUST HAVE THE KILL ANYWAY. Add "Assist count as kill"
• 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, team kill 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 & 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.

**⚖️ Balance ⚖️ **

• Nerf CL40. For REAL this time
• 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" recoil is increased but you can still move as you want & you take 5 dmg/sec by the electricity during 3 sec. Can hit multiple target when you shoot.
• Increase the hip fire of 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. You know what you did here
• Rework defib: Reduce the cooldown reset to 5s and give 100HP instead of 50% of your HP. It will force Medium to revive safer !
• Winch & lockbolt shouldn't do 5 damages. It's already strong enough
• Rework the ARN into a real AR ? Slower RPM but much more DMG. Something like the FCAR for example.

The effort to play Light correctly is too damn high compared to Medium & Heavy class. There is no fun at all playing Light. The fact is we never saw a Light META since the launch of this game compare to M & H. It's say a lot about the game & the balance
Light are getting vanish by 80% of the weapons in your game and can't get a proper 1v1 without get instant kill. You destroyed the stun gun. You destroyed the XP54. Every viable weapons or gadget has been destroyed nerf after nerf because of players that can't track properly a class with 150HP.

** 🛜 Servers problems 🛜 **

• Improve your netcode/tickrate ! Dying behind cover is not acceptable at all ! Dash is not viable because of this and it's worst with a good connection !
• Flamethrower & hook should NOT get you through walls, doors and farer than it should be
• Sword, dagger, DualBlade 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, ect...

BattleField 6 out, I'll leave this game

PS: Ping me as much as you want. I don't care. Even more if you"re a M main. A lot things I suggest before as been implement.

[slender girder]

Just quit a game since teammates kept reviving me in hell. Been months now with many asking for you to let us deny revives.

You need to start cleaning these annoying parts of the game away.

Also it's crazy if next season starts without a nerf on Pike and the free kill button known as Winch.

[untold hazel]

why would you even suggest stuff anymore your gonna quit when bf6 comes out why try? also takes are shit

[harsh cliff]

I just play a ranked game
Very easy one
But one of my team leaves the match so I lose 1k points for nothing. This is not fair. Yesterday I have the same problem.
It takes one hour to get maybe 1400 or maybe less. Than I just lose it within 10 mins cause some just leave the match.
I am sorry guys but this is disgusting and unfair. I was 38k I go down to 28k because of this stupid seeding this and solo Q
For the love for God and Christ and anything. Do something about this thing.
If some leaves the match just don't deduct points from me. This is not my problem.
I swear if next season there are no changes to ranked I am immediately uninstalling. This is not fun and it's just a waste of life and time.
I regret investing so much money for skins into your game. You really seem not to listen to your audience

[tepid spruce]

like i love this game but with how the rank works you can very easily drop aton now this isn't really bad but with how the gamemode works you can play the enitre match fantastic but because the enemy gets 1 lucky steal in the last 5 sec you become third and drop out in the first round making you lose a crap ton of rs.

but idk im just malding i do think the rank fluctuates 2 much with how fast you can lose points compared to gain em(maybe make the lose pentality for 3rd place alot less from 4th in first round?
idk

also once again asking please change the plat sticker and charm they look more gray than anything

[fleet socket]

Could you explain how pike 3 tapping a light is too op and needs nerfed but the repeater that 2 taps lights needs buffed? It just seems like you are switching the problem to another gun tbh
But I do agree with some of the QoL changes

[brave dagger]

Jumpad should imeddiately boost you up if you place it under your feet. Its very jarring if you place one and you remain on it because you placed it directly under you. It ruins high intensity moments and takes you out of the flow of the game whenever it happens.

[proven crown]

I've been thinking a lot about game modes, and the one I think will be really interesting would be a 6 v 6 Domination/Conquest style mode with either 3 or 5 objectives on slightly cut down maps (4 fifths of typical maps I imagine would work well). Ideally 2 squads of 3 on each team (squad wipes possible)

[safe ravine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQL_3BaFaF4&ab_channel=THEFINALS
Very cool what you've been releasing for us Embark, the veterans that have been playing for many seasons.
But I can't help but to think to myself: What gamer looks at this, and be like "heck yea I want to try this game"

Like, not to complain about any teaser that we've been receiving. Ofc not.

But you should seriously try to appeal to the average gamer. The ones that like to see meaningful trailers, not overly mysterious for them to understand and action packed.
S8 is the right moment to shine with all the spotlight u've recently gotten! So try to appeal with attracting cinematics please! I wanna play against new players and not against the same ruby players in the next season, so please do yourself a favor and release a meaningful trailer for new players to be interested at coming back, like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyYiVdNhTE0&ab_channel=VALORANT
or an older one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQtHENM_GZU&ab_channel=GameSpotTrailers

But ofc in your own esthetic and style. ❤️

EDIT: a cool idea could be, to see a team of ninjas preparing to breach a hallway, where cowboys contestants are defending it and setting up traps. Would be nice to see different dynamics between the teams/classes, and show (in a easy way to understand), the different ways of playing the game. And emphasize destruction.
With a slower pace of your earlier trailers and less chaotic.
I'm pretty sure this ts would be interesting for returning players or new ones.

[light nimbus]

please make the disco dancing emotes longer they are so popular but ridiculously short I can never sync them up with my friends for more than 2 seconds

[sonic arrow]

Make pike and v9s play more around getting frequent headshots like their DMR/handgun counterparts

v9s plays like a semi-auto smg while pike plays like a long range semi auto assault rifle, so lessening the visual recoil, lowering the damage and increasing the headshot multipliers to 2x should fulfill the skill expression method these weapons both desire, considering the fact that they fit in with full automatic playstyles for some reason, hurting their identity.

adding more sights for both guns (pike especially) would help with this as well

This game needs SBMM, the new player experience is horrendous, you start playing and get unemployed players with 50k elims and 2k+ hours in the game that make you regret ever trying it.

[compact forge]

agreed

[uneven dagger]

ok get this, for the next majors or any big event, lets make a spectating system where every spectator is given a number of multibucks without being able to buy or add their own into the pool, in order to keep these multibucks they need to bet them all on teams with the ability to pull out after at least one round. It isnt real gambling if they cant buy into it

[rose basin]

riot shield is busted, make the shield somewhat smaller

[spare rapids]

Can you guys add an option that lets us pair or not pair with cetain classes or at least pair much less with them? Lights can play on their own teams since they don't like to play as a team in a TEAM BASED SHOOTER. They are absolutely useless in 99% of the games I get paired with them. Sure they get some kills but what does that matter to me when im getting smashed as a medium or heavy because I have no help? Literally every other game is 2 lights on my team. Get them out of my life. Why am I forced to play light to have a good time? Thats the only way you can have a good time playing with 2 other lights.

[hollow kelp]

if u give pike a 2x headshot multiplier with less visual recoil and alternative sights, it would be so broken that we would go back to triple medium pike meta like in s4. its already too strong and this would make the game genuinely unplayable

[crystal cave]

Can you guys please give badges and banners for weapon masteries as well. Feel like it makes sense that way we can show off that we maxed a weapon out without having to use the skin.

[rustic tinsel]

"Feeling they were hit unexpectedly when a player lunged them." You’re in close range and you’re surprised you got hit by a melee weapon? If you're in a situation where a sword lunge can hit turn arround, then any melee could do that.

Every weapon, when in close range, can naturally move behind the enemy or slide behind and turn to hit from the back. And dagger is a weapon specifically designed for that. Then wouldn't people feel "hit unexpectedly" by dagger too? So are you going to add aim lock to dagger? Why, sword can’t turn around like dagger does? Every weapon can naturally turn around and strike an enemy’s back. But sword alone is restricted from doing that?

Aim spinning wildly wasn't actually used, and anyone who actually played sword at a competitive level understood that.
Occasionally turning the aim wildly in certain situations was done to maximize multi-hit. Then just remove multi-hit, and you won’t need to add aim lock—which is the most frustrating patch in THE FINALS. Even if you spin wildly, you’ll only hit one person, so the problem is solved.

Even if it's not 40 degrees, as long as any form of aim lock exists, sword will have the most idiotic handling. Aim lock is the dumbest choice. Of course, you’d need to revert the damage too.

Just 74 M1 and 140 lunge is enough. Like in S1. That version was slightly weak. So in mid S2, you thought sword was weak and buffed multi-hit in a stealth patch. But because you were obsessed with keeping that, you made a stupid decision. You even removed functions that all other weapons can do.

Sword being like it was in Season 3, and if all the other weapons get buffed so much that they become far stronger than sword and sword ends up being the weakest weapon. That would still be much better. Because sword itself hasn’t changed. Having the weapon you’ve been using get nerfed, restricted, and have its identity destroyed is, more than anything else, the very "frustrating" thing ever.

[thin hinge]

OVERALL

• I agree with what another player suggested to report a player for Sabotage when that player leave, team kill or AFK on purpose.
• An option to mute the text chat at once (the same way we can mute voice) instead of doing it every single match.

MEDIUM

• **CL40: **More self damage.
• Pike: 6 shots instead of 12.
• Dual Blades: I also agree with a player that said to nerf the radius of the Dual Blades.
• Riot Shield: Fix hitbox.
• Breach Drill: Someone suggested to either give it 2 charges or make it remote.

LIGHT

• H+ Infuser: Nerf, it's too strong as it is.

HEAVY

• Winch: Remove stun.
• Lockbolt: Reduce the health.

GENERAL

• Smoke Grenade: Reduce from 3 to 2.
• Frag Grenade: More damage.

EDIT

• Would be cool if we could make a player card for each build we have individually.

[spare topaz]

fix your fucking servers oh my god dude
the connection is so fucking bad

[reef wigeon]

So this is just a suggestion on skins cause I gotta say some of the skins for the weapons in this game are pretty cool. So maybe with the new season or whatever maybe a frutiger aero styled weapon pack and or battle pass could be cool. Idk just a thought.

[cloud fox]

The Infuser is too strong? Having it deplete really fast already balances out the weapon no?

[jaunty fern]

The problem isn't how much healing it does before it taps out, the problem is how fast it does it. If a heavy is 50hp and I turn the corner on him to find him at 350hp, it's a little rediculous.

[iron forum]

Keyboard and mouse for console?

[vapid tiger]

No it doesn't balance it and it comes back pretty fast. The fact it's stronger than a specialization is a problem. A nice change would be to reduce the ammo for it

[echo panther]

u forgot that u get winched even when its on the way back like why is that so? also please buff or nerf more things scramble the meta its gotten so boring every mid/high rp player plays the same stuff and if ur worried about majors then just do it like everyone else and play on the current version so the pros can play to the way they have adapted just please change things up in season 8

mmmm i love the animations in this game, i hope the new guns have cool animations in s8 :3c

[wraith orchid]

ok let me say it just one more time.
looking at your latest teaser, it seems like sniper is going to one shot mediums on head.

this is bad.
its fair if you want to balance weapons correctly .
but its bad.

and this is not coming from a medium/heavy main.

let me explain my point of view:

who am i?
i am light main since season 1
i have almost 2000 hours in this game
i played almost exclusively sr-84

so why is such a kind of buff to my beloved weapon BAD?

because of SKILL EXPRESSION

lowering ttks is leading to less and less chances to EXPRESS YOUR SKILL.

it makes the game feel BORING

COD is BOOOOORING
in cod you can kill 20 people in literally 7 seconds WITHOUT ANY SKILL

FUN is, if fights are intense, an i mean every fight, every 1v1.

i hope you get my point

sniper is still too underpowered, but the only two ways to balance the weapon is to:

1.: adjust things like firerate, SCOPE WOBBLE, in air accuracy and chambering mechanism (no point in making a sniper kill, destroying the window next to you to take cover bc more enemies engage AND HAVING TO CHAMBER AGAIN, loosing almost 2 whole seconds before youre able to shoot again)

or/and

2.: NERF THE OTHER WEAPONS,
and yeah. you probably would need to push out a litteral nerf-wave, but this would be healthy for THE FUN.

💩

[fierce spoke]

bro you need to check the teaser again 💀

[random lagoon]

That wasn’t the point of the teaser… it wasn’t saying sniper would 1 shot mediums…

[dapper flower]

The turret doesn’t have much room for skill expression. Sure, there’s a difference between bad, good, and expert placement, but overall it feels underwhelming unless it happens to pick off stragglers. Right now, it works fine as a light deterrent and for gathering intel, but I think it could be much better if there was a second stage after placement.

In that stage, the player could set the aim direction and adjust the cone of fire by scrolling: a wider cone would mean slower response and lower rate of fire, while a tighter cone would mean faster reaction and higher DPS.

That way, you could use the turret in different roles. With a wide cone, it functions as an intel tool that might snag the occasional straggler. With a narrow cone locked on a doorway, it becomes a high-damage trap for anyone who walks through, the tradeoff is that it’s easy to avoid outside of its focus zone.

I’d like to give feedback on the advertising strategy for the last two seasons (S7 and upcoming S8).

Honestly, it doesn’t feel like anything builds expectations or the hype achieved in S6.
In S6 we had daily reveals of new things for S7. Teasers were polished, trailers were truly EPIC. The TDM launch trailer with “Golden Standard” blew me away — cuts and scenes synced to the music gave all the excitement THE FINALS creates, making us want it NOW! You watched it and thought: “I WANT TO PLAY RIGHT THIS SECOND.”

The previews and reveals were broader, generating excitement to try everything.
Now, just a week away, still nothing. Everyone thought: “Surely news today…” but nothing came.

The preview drops ONE DAY before release. What hype does that build? None. The point is to make us crazy with anticipation. Without days of teasers, there’s no time to get hyped before release. It’s not terrible, but it’s not a good strategy.

I’ve been playing since beta, I love THE FINALS, and I’ll always be excited for new seasons, but right now, just days from launch, I feel nothing. More like: “Oh, right, S8 is out Thursday.”

I think the new strategy is misguided. A live preview is not the same as a well-edited trailer or teaser — short, sharp, motivating. Don’t stop the lives, but they shouldn’t be the only thing.

And the preview is far too limited. 24h before release? Just that? Makes little sense.

I hope this isn’t about giving ARC more importance while neglecting THE FINALS. That would be a real shame.

[slender pine]

[sonic arrow]

Holy misinterpreting

[granite lantern]

for what its worth if you listen closely you can hear the breath sounds you get at low health from the mediums POV, meaning they were already damaged before the video began, it wasnt announcing a buff, it was to tease the release of a killcam feature in a cool looking way

[true void]

Idk what game that fella ^ is playing but it isn’t The Finals

Kyoto isn’t a good competitive map. Too many clusters of vast height variation gives teams a huge advantage in fights if they spawn above you, which happens more frequently on Kyoto than any other map.

Also, the smoke/thermal combo needs more counters, particularly available to the medium and/or heavy classes.

[graceful hollow]

yes if we are 2nd place at the time the last vaults spawn, the top team will actively try to grief us out every time. At this point it feels easier to win if we're 3rd or 4th place at that point in the match...

[junior jacinth]

Why can't say 'GLUE' in PT-BR?

[harsh cliff]

To be honest before I didn't like terminal attack as ranked but now as I play ranked more. I think terminal attack is more fair in many aspects.
No third party
No seeding.
One Health and that's it.
It requires more Strategy.
I really believe that you need to rework the ranked system or at least the point system.
Do you know the effort you need to put in order to win a match to get 1300 or 1000
Then you lose one or two matches due to many reasons
Smurfs, cheaters, third parties, teammates leave mid match (I soloQ)
Than you just lose sooooooo much.
This is not fair guys.
Also today imagine I play an ( easy )match people are gods. We had 34k still we lost 5th place I swear. Like what do we need to do get like 1milion ?

I can really say that this season I decided to play ranked and I didn't not enjoy the point system and how there is no care for solo Q players.
I am really curious to see if you did anything to ranked in the new season. Otherwise ranked will be out of my head.
It's just not fair. And these ruby and diamond players many of them are just boosted.
I played one time with a ruby player he was horrible. Bur of course boosted or cheating.
Pluses guys I would really appreciate it if there will be an update for the matchmaking. I don't think putting me with bronze and silver players as a plat player is a fair thing.
Anyways thanks for the work and I really hope we will see changes in the new season.

[silent abyss]

Bruh what did you expect? Titanium in the shogun era? Namely, the 11th century?

[supple mortar]

Please revert sword's angle lock and super dash change. Genuinely removes any kind of ability to track players. If they even slightly move to the side, you lose the fight. Simple as that.
Nerf the cleave instead.

[astral condor]

can we fix dual blades and give medium a gadget stim which doesn't heal but gives speedboost?

[crude current]

They should give heavy armor on charge. Makes it less of a "do or die" type thing.
like how in smash bros most characters charges had some level of armor from attacks to guard and shield against a bit of the damage from an enemys attack. Allowing the user of the charge ability to survive what would be a usually FATAL blow

[blazing haven]

There was an area on Kyoto that would not let me enter as I was trying to continuously get owned by cheaters, I would rubber band backwards. I thought I was lagging but no, it was the area with the big house infront of the cliff with the court yard. I walked up the steps and was rubber banding at the top of the steps in the archway.

Haven't touched sword in a while, but it seems like it just turned into a L click spam weapon whenever any light player with one uses it. Way to absolutely kill a decent weapon and turn it into a brainrot click simulator. Fuck you appoh

[solar granite]

A small detail, but I think it'd be a good inclusion to add weapon firing previews to the loadout and shop pages. There are various weapons with special firing effects (both audio and visual) that can only be viewed once in a game. So, being able to preview these effects before purchase or having to load into a match would be preferable.

[mental delta]

MGL-32 buff: instead of having a useless zoom, alt fire will remote detonate any grenade you fire. Maybe give it a prime time, maybe make it so it automatically explodes after a set time so you can't just hold grenades in place like a stickybomb launcher from TF2 but it would add so much interactivity and reliability to a weapon that is currently lackluster in pretty much all aspects

I think it'd be cool to implement something along the lines of an exchange, such as maybe 5,000 VRs for a small amount of multibucks, like 10-15. Exchange the full 5,000 for 10-15 multibucks.

[marsh frost]

I am dead serious, I might be the only guy asking for this, but I can almost promise you, I won't be the only one to use it if you make this a feature.

Let me listen to the game's soundtrack during the game. Like, the lobby playlists, just let me play those during the match, let me still hear game audio (like if I were playing spotify in the background). That's it, that is literally it.

[untold hazel]

[harsh cliff]

Been asking for this so many times, hope they do it in the upcoming season.
Also maybe riot should be nerfed, it's so stupid how difficult killing riot while you play as H.
The only way I can run a ways by playing light or M with jumped. H IS JUST RIP
I am Main H and I hate playing H since every match there is the stupid shield. He just runs block all bullets and just spam attack. While others shooting me then I have to deal with the shield plus the other players.
I am sorry guys but this is not a weapon for ranked.
You can keep it but maybe it should not be selectable in ranked. Ranked should be about skill. Aim, Positioning. Teamwork not about riot running kill every H out there. Also I love play SA12 but with riot it's really almost impossible to play it.
And don't tell me it's a skill issue not everyone needs to be god in the game to play the game. I have a life. So please do something about this.
I think I am just hoping for these changes in the new season rather than weapons, map, gadgets...etc

i dont mind if the barrel is silver if the silencer was dia

The new season is just around the corner, I hope you've brought some changes for two fundamental aspects that have been killing this game since season 2: matchmaking and the spawn system.

I believe that after so much time without doing anything in this area, and particularly in matchmaking, you'll bring some new features.

Note: This is all irony. I'm sure there won't be any changes in these two aspects. Keep working on bringing new weapons or gadgets that will be the meta for this season, and let's continue complaining about buffs and nerfs all the time... keep failing to see the root problem you have.

[hallow mirage]

New Game Mode Idea: Destruction Race 🏗️💥
• Two teams start in separate buildings at the top of the map, fully stocked and ready for chaos.
• You have 3 minutes to cause as much destruction as possible. Every broken wall, shattered floor, and toppled object counts toward your destruction score.
• The team with the highest score when the timer ends wins — but if a team completely wrecks the opponent’s building, they instantly win.
• Encourages fast-paced, strategic demolition, teamwork, and creative use of weapons and gadgets to dominate the environment.

Could add optional power-ups or environmental hazards to spice things up even more!

[velvet burrow]

and 1 demolition crane for each team!

Can you allow us to whisper or chat with friends who are online? I couldn't play another game but I had no means of telling the new person I can't play another one but can another time.

[tepid ether]

Subject: Request for Reinstatement of Our Club Tag “TS”

Dear Embark Studios Team,

I am writing this letter on behalf of my club TS PSY HUNTERS. For a long time, we proudly carried the club tag “TS” — a symbol of our team’s unity, identity, and the many hours of dedication we’ve invested into The Finals.

A few days ago, however, we were shocked to discover that our tag had been changed without our consent from TS to TSPH. What is even more disheartening is that the TS tag has now been assigned to another team, one that I later found listed among the top 500 players in the world.

This has left us feeling deeply disrespected and overlooked. A club tag is not just a few letters — it is our identity, our pride, and the name under which we have built our reputation. By stripping us of “TS” and giving it away, it feels as though our time, effort, and loyalty to the game have been disregarded.

We understand and respect the presence of pro teams, but fairness and dignity should apply to every player and every club in The Finals community. If tags can simply be taken away from one group and reassigned to another without notice, it raises a serious question: What value does Embark Studios place on its players’ trust and commitment?

On behalf of my entire team, I sincerely but firmly request that our rightful tag “TS” be reinstated to us immediately. We chose it, we played under it, and we earned our place with it. Taking it away from us undermines not only our identity, but also the principle of fair treatment that every gaming community should uphold.

We hope Embark Studios will recognize the importance of this matter and do what is right — return “TS” to its rightful owners.

Sincerely,
CM_PUNK#6686
Leader of TS PSY HUNTERS

[topaz jungle]

What? I am basically a sniper main…it’s my second most used weapon. The ttk for this weapon is already super short and superior than most weapons…if anything I’m concerned with them nerfing the gun more. Nerfing everything else is certainly narrow-minded. That said, embark please buff all gadgets and reduce all cooldowns to S1 and S2 levels. Gadgets are what make the Finals unique! Also please buff movement!

I can't with these stupid updates. You are literally doing these updates to make people hate your game
As M I should always have APS with me, and if I am playing against M with riot I should play riot to fight him cause it's almost impossible to shoot them while they run at you.
And CL40 is just jump and shoot people. I had a round now the guy has 12 kills with just jump and shoot.
How is this ranked ?!! Maybe add nuclear weapons as well?? One shoot erase the whole map.
Please embark just remove these weapons from ranked.
Ranked is just for skillful fight not just run like a moron or jump like a stupid while shooting and then call this ranked.
This is just stupid

If you're hopping into a round and a third person doesn't show up (not disconnected, they don't even appear), you shouldn't be penalized for leaving the game.

TDM RANKED WITH WEAPON BANS ABD GADGET BANNING UP TO DIAMOND

[odd thunder]

omg, i remember wondering when that bug would get fixed a few seasons ago 😭

[cobalt kernel]

I expect nothing less than a huge meta shake up with Season 8 tomorrow, just in time BEFORE the big Major tournament, otherwise that event is going to be a disaster

Nerf winch cringe back to 10 meter range, lower stun effect, REMOVE second hit on the way back, make the chain break if you get stuck on a ledge so Heavies can't just spam it in any situation

ALL lights are forced to play Dash to counter this ability, every class has exactly ONE viable loadout and there zero build variety!! This game was supposed to be ABOUT different builds!

1 button press is dictating the whole meta right now, it's all you gonna see at the majors and it's gonna be boring AF

Nerf Pike to 49 damage and lower fire rate, hard-counters sniper and LH1

Nerf Demat recharge time

Nerf Evasive trash

Reduced max amount of Pyro mines carriable to ONE (just like expl. and glitch mine)

Buff Model Reload

Buff Revolver range by a good 10 meters, damage fall off is a joke

Bring back OG LH1, buff hip fire

Buff Pyro grenade AOE

Buff Reshaper recharge time greatly

Buff Breach charge/Vortex fuse time, takes forever to activate

Give iron sights to sniper extend hitscan range by 10 meters

Add more map modifiers and let them have a bigger impact, for example "fog" should actually limit viewing distance drastically, so gadgets like thermal and sonar grenades actually serve a purpose besides smoke+steal shenanigans

[worldly pumice]

head 2 head as a permanent mode pls

Dunno if this is where I should report bugs but on multiple occasions I have been running into invisible walls where a broken railing used to be and it has caused me to lose a cash out on more than one occasion.

Why did I just go a whole game with 3 literal ai bots on my team

[mental solstice]

calling yourself ai is crazy work

[thick sorrel]

this

[rugged ginkgo]

Defib/Nullifier Ideas: Remove revive sickness for specializations but leave it for gadgets. The sickness is way too punishing for light players since they rely on their specializations for survival way more than the other classes. My other idea is that the nullifier should be able to cancel someone getting revived by defibs. This would make the nullifier a lot more useful. The nullifier's cooldown should be at least two times longer if you use it to shut down a defib. While being nullified you should also regen slower.

[honest pulsar]

i think ive said it a million times, thought it a billion times, REPLAYS PLEASE EMBARK

[toxic vector]

If taser comes back medium should get bear traps that hold you in place for two seconds and defib should stun like tazer when hitting an enemy.

[regal nest]

Diamond seems impossible to reach

[rotund gust]

this season has proven that removing bank it was completely unnecessary. Terminal Attack has stayed and there's just no way anyone plays that shit.

Make it explode on direct hit with an enemy

@quick coyote No because cl40 is more forgiving for its splash on any surface. I want mgl to only explode on impact if its a player. If you can hit a direct shot with the mgl you should be rewarded with 83 damage

[quartz shell]

You dont care but I do

[brisk juniper]

I think it'd be lovely if a first time offense of leaving a game would not result in a loss of RS. We play every games together to have a matching score and progress through the ranks together. The game was unplayable and he needed to restart it. He didn't leave because he wanted to but because he needed to. 💔

Our teammate told us to kill ourselves then left the game. I held the fort as a one person team, then my partner reconnected. Was still having really terrible lag but we managed to go qualify and then almost made it to top three while missing our third.

My partner and I queue every game together and we love having a matching score but it has now been ruined by this. The restart made him loose RS and get a penalty.

I understand the game is frustrating if people leave with no regards to their teammates but we had no idea his game would run into issues prior to queuing in the game.

[eternal sluice]

How would the game know if you restarted because of issues or if you restart just to save your teammates RS? The issue with this is that the game can’t necessarily tell when players are having technical difficulties. If you didn’t lose RS, people would use this to game the system.

[mild wave]

[stuck void]

Add a seperate queue system of the ranked modes that only allows solo-queues. This combats triple stacking being an overwhelming threat if you dont have teammates available to play with

skill issue much?

[tight verge]

Yup It finally happened. I got so damn fed up that I made a whole damn VIDEO complaining about dagger. No more paragraphs you get 8 min of mald in 1440p.
But in all seriousness this weapon desperatly needs a rework. The fact that DB is balanced the way it is and dagger is still just 10x harder in every way to use is a massive problem.
Before you come back with witty arguments and calling me stupid remember the DB EXISTS!! THE DAGGER DOESNT LIVE IN A VACUM. We have comparable weapons on the same class to compare it to!!!
I dont feel like any of my changes actually "buff" the dagger substantiaclly.
*- Faster charge up right click

• client side hit reg and angle reg detection
• Addressing the hitbox vs displayed animations of characters etc.
• Always playing essentially down 1 dash*
  They all just make the weapon more pleasant to use as a user without changing the experience for an enemy.

My closing thoughts on head 2 head

Its been a blast and it delivered what i was hoping for

Where quick cash can often get me frustrated, wanting to take breaks, head 2 head instead left me in the craving "just one more game" addictive mindset the finals is capable of every time

Thanks again for letting us try it
I hope it stays permanently

[cosmic ether]

If head 2 head manages to stay, I'd also be pretty stoked. I think it also presents as a better alternative to quick cash even for newbies due to the mitigation of the third party gank fest. I've also noticed people seem to consider their loadouts a bit more carefully rather than solely the reliance on ratting for a win or to gain advantage. All-round it's just a better environment for a newer player to learn the ropes in.

(edit) I also want to add that it's also been a great place to practice final round strategies wrt tournaments.

[covert dagger]

Think it's time to recognize the reality that some things need to just be taken out of the game because there is no balancing this many options. A game that feels it has to constantly add weapons and gadgets thinking it's going to run dry of content and lose players has no confidence in itself at all. Look at counter strike and how long they go between adding guns. I hope with this next season being health oriented balance is the only focus

[pale bronze]

The MMR in ranked is why you get put up against ruby stacks or stacks you just cannot win against (Day two of begging to remove MMR from ranked and just have it RS based so it's actually fair)

[rugged willow]

it's kinda hard to tell what type of weapon the deagles are. it's hipfire is phenomenal when 1 foot away from your target but the ADS tightness gets so damn fine you would think it's a long range weapon but no it does 2 tidlywinks of damage at longer range. is it a long range or short range weapon?

[naive root]

100% agree

[west knot]

Tournament Difficulty has no barring whatsoever. It's worthless. Iv lost on EASY apparently, but one team had like 40 eliminations!

[tough merlin]

its.. a team game. Like other team games somtime's you face teams.

@umbral belfry While i do agree that is a difference, its still just a team based game. You can just as easily premake a team if its that big of a deal. Why split q's or put in dev time to change the way the game works when you're already given ways to "make a team". Yes the premade will be of randoms but that's how you end up finding and making friends/future teams.

[main gull]

ahh yes, so much skill. we lost to this team just running cl and a THOUSAND PYROS. how about we do this thing DEVS where we delete CL from the game (nobody liked the NoobTube learn from COD) and while your at it, remove and rework riot shield, wench claw, dual swords (just annoying af), and fix the glitches with thermal vision where half the time enemies show up the same color as the background, or when i watch a light throw a vanish bomb and DISAPPEAR off my screen while I HAVE THERMAL RUNNING (hello is that not the WHOLE POINT?). Also, give throwing knives a "reload" where after whatever like 7,8 throws they have to reach into their pocket or whatever for more knives. Lastly, please for the love of all that is good, MARKET YOUR GAME so there's more of a player base, and get better at banning cheaters and Smurfs and GIVING ME BACK MY RS : ) @dusk sable Remove ARN for what lol its not even as good as half the other classes ARs and weapons sonds like somebodys mad because i named one of their crutches

[fallow heath]

Formal request to Embark Studios from the club TS PSY HUNTERS, asking for the reinstatement of their original tag “TS.” The team tag, which symbolizes their unity and identity, was recently changed without notice to “TSPH,” while “TS” was reassigned to another top-ranked team. We express feeling overlooked, emphasizing that the tag represents our reputation and hard-earned place in the game. While acknowledging the presence of pro teams, they stress that fairness and equal treatment should apply to all players. The letter firmly requests the immediate return of the “TS” tag, highlighting that its removal undermines both their identity and the principle of fair treatment within the gaming community.

[narrow lark]

Love this game. I mainly play Team Deathmatch because my clan/squad isn't online much for cash out/WT. Im about 200hrs in and there are some things that I hear repeatedly echoed through the community that could be improved.

1. Server, code, ping, bullet/hit registration issues.
2. Kill cam/Kill replay. There are many many times where I get 360° spin no scope insta-headshotted, or beamed across the map etc, by someone who is 32 Kills and 2 deaths and I am paralyzed with guilt because I dont want to be that person reporting someone for cheating, when it could be that they are just really good. Cheating kills games, just look at the controversy surrounding BF6 and COD. Even when the efforts aren't perfect, the effect weighs heavily in the developers favor (Hence BF6 current loyalty over COD). Toggle-able kill cams will help people feel comfortable reporting cheating. Secure boot, or upgraded anti-cheat would be cool aswell.
3. Improved match making options, player reputation, improved in game social functions. It would be cool to reduce the negative effects of randomly solo queuing in all modes. Every other game players quit, go AFK, don't play objectives, or just smash the arena up chasing an achievement in one match. It would be really beneficial to be able to casually match with other players who are trying to win etc.
4. Variations of Team Deathmatch. Bigger and smaller teams, revives being important, improved rewards for healing / revives etc.

I hope this game stands the test of time! I really enjoy it. Thanks!

Here's an idea: Have club tags be first come, first served. Pro teams shouldn't be able to pick and choose any existing club tags, and Embark shouldn't alienate the casual playerbase by taking their club tags away from them. I'm surprised this even has to be said.

This is the second incident now. Address the issue and find another solution, because this ain't it.

[wooden atlas]

My wishlist for The Finals:

• BETTER MATCHMAKING—match players of like or similar level only, and match solos and premade teams separately
• Optimize servers for better tick rate
• Add grenade indicators
• Widen sword angle lock to 45 degrees from center
• Bugfix riot shield hitbox but DO NOT nerf the weapon directly
• Give dagger back the tap-to-lunge option like throwing knives’ alt-fire has
• Rework winch claw to pull players in the same way it pulls cashout stations; if necessary, buff range to give it more utility
• Let ARN mag-swap on command (i.e. tap R to swap, hold R to reload)
• Remove bloom from KS-23 and Deagles; revert KS-23 to projectile-only
• Let throwing knives run and slide with alt-fire held down
• Add Nedstrike event into the game permanently
• Consider adding Head2Head as a permanent mode, but DO NOT replace Quick Cash with it
• Brink back Bank It
• Let us swap optics while in the Practice Range
• Remove the contract for cash earnings in World Tour/ranked
• Add the Parley voice to Seas the Day set and give it to owners of this set

Thanks and here’s to a great Season 8 🫡

I can’t stand matchmaking in ranked. Why am I seeded 1st 5 times in a row and I’m in games with rubies. I’m stacking with all 39000s trying to get diamond before the end of the season. I perform great in each lobby stacking 8-12 kills a round but I cannot for the life of me get diamond. As soon as I’m a game off it’s ruby lobbies and my randoms are 20000 elo below the enemy. I’m so frustrated with the matchmaking. Please fix it. I’ll wait 50 minutes for a match if it’s fair.

I just wanted the diamond sniper skin. That’s it. I wouldn’t want another skin in the game. I’m not even playing sniper in ranked although I wish I was. But turns out after a full 7hr session hovering between 38500-39950 I can’t get it since I can’t get a fair match

[rustic tinsel]

Even if it's not 40º,as long as any form of aim lock exists,sword will have the most idiotic handling. Since the rotation clamp is clearly the biggest thing that makes the weapon unusable, it should not exist in the game at all.You should just revert sword back to how it was in S1 and S2, when there was no multi-hit. Sword back then was a bit weak, but that’s okay. It’s better than receiving a dumb patch that destroys the weapon’s original identity, even if it’s a weaker weapon.
Because you thought sword was weak when there was no multi-hit,you patched multi-hit in.But because your obsession with keeping that led to the dumbest decision, even removing mechanics all other weapons have.
Every weapon, when in close range, can naturally move behind the enemy or slide behind and look back to hit. And dagger is a weapon specifically designed for that. So are you going to add aim lock to all weapons? Why, sword can’t look back like all do? Every weapon can naturally look back and attack. But sword alone is restricted from doing that? Why do you discriminate only against the sword by calling it an “exploit” when all melees can do it?
Wildly spinning the aim actually wasn’t used, It was used only in very rare cases dumb enemies were stupidly stacked in one spot.
The occasional turning of aim was used to maximize multi-hit.
If the problem is wild turning, then just remove multi-hit.
Even if someone spins wildly, they’d only hit one target. That solves the problem. Of course, dmg must also be reverted.
Why you have to ruin sword’s identity that’s been there since its release just to appease the nerf whiners? M1 spam on a 150 HP class is not good. Who’s the narrow-minded person who decided on a patch like this that ruins sword’s identity by thinking “melee should just be dumb M1 spam?
Why do you ignore feedback from actual users of the weapon, and only listen to nerf whiners who never even used it?

Stop ruining the fun of the game with nerfs, balance it with buffs instead.

GIVE BACK ”TS” TAG TO CM_PUNK#6686, he took it first and you have no right to ”reserve” it after the fact, totally ridiculous and a great way to get people to leave and hate the game

[pastel cypress]

This^ why do the "official org" have the right to your clubs name or tag

[dense tinsel]

Event Suggestion: Chained

This event will force players to really play as a team. Whoever is not near their teammates when "chained" activates will die. This event will have a visible countdown so that those who are far away have time to come back and avoid dying.

When the event activates, players who are close to their teammates will become chained together, able to move only within a limited range of their teammates, and unable to advance unless they move in sync.

How could this event look? Similar to a lockbot, but with the three players chained together. Each team will be chained using their corresponding team color.

This idea comes from thinking about practice strategies. How can I practice "playing together," which often goes wrong? It would be useful to have a mod with some kind of visible "line" between teammates—green when you’re close, and red when you’ve gone too far. That way, you get a visual aid showing when you’re not playing with your team.

Since this is hypothetical, I thought it could be turned into a fun event, because it would be crazy to see everyone tied together and watch how some people fail to coordinate with their teammates. At the same time, it would be good practice to learn not to leave your teammates behind.

[wind prism]

Day three of asking to Remove MMR from ranked, it unbalances the entire aspect of ranked all together and makes the collective grind harder for all those aiming to reach high ranks like myself.

Dear Embark,
I want to share some clear feedback regarding the decision to rename existing club tags in order to allocate them to professional orgs. While I understand the intent to support official esports, this approach comes across as the laziest and most disrespectful solution possible. The players and community have invested heavily in this game, and we are the backbone that keeps it alive. Simply stripping away established tags disregards the passion, commitment, and identity that the community has built around The Finals.

There are plenty of better solutions that could respect both the community and the needs of esports (e.g., negotiated alternatives, unique formatting, club tag prefixes). I’m genuinely disappointed to see the current path chosen, and I strongly urge the team to reconsider how this is being handled.

cash in power shift used to not count for the achievement
thats since been fixed afaik but that was very recently so any cash earned in that mode prior to that doesnt track towards the achievement (or progress made thats on a different platform only tracks for that specific platform. ie if u get 10 mil on Xbox then 40 million on steam, youll only be at 40 mil for steam achievement)
ur 120k cash off jus play a game or two

[torpid latch]

please adjust the mmr ranked calculations to take into consideration also match personal performance (kills, objectives, assists, etc)!! what's ruining ranked at the moment is losing as much rating as the guy that has 0 with 15, that way ranked will be fixed and there's a good reason to fight to the end

[cobalt kernel]

You have 2 hours to save your game Embark, just in time BEFORE the big Major tournament, otherwise that event is going to be a disaster

Nerf winch cringe back to 10 meter range, lower stun effect, REMOVE second hit on the way back, make the chain break if you get stuck on a ledge so Heavies can't just spam it in any situation

ALL lights are forced to play Dash to counter this ability, every class has exactly ONE viable loadout and there zero build variety!! This game was supposed to be ABOUT different builds!

One button press is dictating the whole meta right now, it's all you gonna see at the majors and it's gonna be boring AF

Nerf Pike to 49 damage and lower fire rate, hard-counters sniper and LH1

Nerf Bubble so it blocks all damage from all sides, it should NOT be a combat tool

Nerf Demat recharge time, add 0.3 second delay for each demat to make it less abusable

Nerf Evasive dash

Reduced max amount of Pyro mines carriable to ONE (just like expl. and glitch mine)

Buff Model Reload

Buff Revolver range by a good 10 meters, damage fall off is a joke

Bring back OG LH1, buff hip fire

Buff Pyro grenade AOE

Buff Reshaper recharge time greatly, widen the cone slightly

Buff Breach charge/Vortex fuse time, takes forever to activate

Give iron sights to sniper extend hitscan range by 10 meters

Add more map modifiers and let them have a bigger impact, for example "fog" should actually limit viewing distance drastically, so gadgets like thermal and sonar grenades actually serve a purpose besides smoke+steal shenanigans

Subject: Request for Reinstatement of Our Club Tag “TS”

Dear Embark Studios Team,

I am writing this letter on behalf of my club TS PSY HUNTERS. For a long time, we proudly carried the club tag “TS” — a symbol of our team’s unity, identity, and the many hours of dedication we’ve invested into The Finals.

A few days ago, however, we were shocked to discover that our tag had been changed without our consent from TS to TSPH. What is even more disheartening is that the TS tag has now been assigned to another team, one that I later found listed among the top 500 players in the world.

This has left us feeling deeply disrespected and overlooked. A club tag is not just a few letters — it is our identity, our pride, and the name under which we have built our reputation. By stripping us of “TS” and giving it away, it feels as though our time, effort, and loyalty to the game have been disregarded.

We understand and respect the presence of pro teams, but fairness and dignity should apply to every player and every club in The Finals community. If tags can simply be taken away from one group and reassigned to another without notice, it raises a serious question: What value does Embark Studios place on its players’ trust and commitment?

On behalf of my entire team, I sincerely but firmly request that our rightful tag “TS” be reinstated to us immediately. We chose it, we played under it, and we earned our place with it. Taking it away from us undermines not only our identity, but also the principle of fair treatment that every gaming community should uphold.

We hope Embark Studios will recognize the importance of this matter and do what is right — return “TS” to its rightful owners.

Sincerely,
CM_PUNK#6686
Leader of TS PSY HUNTERS

My Head2head contracts have been reset.

Everyone's have

my video settings keeps resettings to epic and reflex on / it may be from nvidia app optimizer

[mental delta]

If you guys absolutely need to give clan tags to eSports orgs and the tag is taken, just make two of the clan name but one has a verified check mark

Probably need to rework how it’s allocated in the club database or whatever but it will save headaches in the long run. Just have someone apply for a verified club with X tag and if they’re worthy? Make it for ‘em and make them leader

[fervent citrus]

Of course. As always. Embark as usual. Pandering to the pro scene. Is 2 months til the major, not enough to implement a better club naming system?

So excited to read another set of comedic bs dev notes later in the patch.

[junior temple]

Hey taking club names from existing clubs to give them to pro teams without asking or offering some type of compensation is extremely lame.

Either make them an offer for the name or give the pro teams a unique color/symbol on their names to show that they are the official organization. You should NEVER be changing club names the way you did to TS Psy Hunters.

ranked is unbelievably rng, one game i get teammates my rank plat 1, the next I get near golds and there are rubies in the lobby. Oh, and I'm seeded 1st so -1000rs. Cant believe i spent 8 hours playing and just hovered between 38000-39950 just to not finish diamond. I came back because I saw sniper was a diamond skin. I hit diamond before in previous seasons without much issue. This season was different. Worst ranked matchmaking I've encountered. Also, there are quite a few console players cheating with cronus stacking 20 or more kills a round with an ARN or similar. Can anti cheat not detect this? Perfect recoil control on a controller every time?

[tulip anchor]

[fading flame]

More seizure-inducingly-fast trailers

[cobalt arrow]

The rank seeding needs to go away, player skill is not defined by player rank. Labeling a match very easy then getting the sweatiest opponents in the world causing me to get last place and losing more rank then ive gained the past 4 hours is insulting. THEN whats the point of a match if all im earning is 400 because im in 3RD SEED!!! Not even 1st seed and gaining so little is insane. Im mainly writing this because i was trying to get diamond before the season is over and got put into my final match thats a pathetic 400 rank to win 1st place, sealed me from getting diamond. Simple fix is just having fixed rank rewards every tournament.

[fast lion]

remove kyoto

[rotund gust]

It'd be nice if kills gave you something in ranked. Not alot of ranked score, but just something to soften the blow when you played well and got last

[warm pawn]

why does every match have at least 2 feeders? matchmaking feels backwards in a sense that it matches really bad players with half decent ones and expects the latter to carry the match

[waxen kernel]

Bro they don't have to nerf anything, they just have to fix the matchmaking.

[cedar fern]

Totally agree, rank points to get Diamond this season is total bs vs the way it was in the past, all it does is promote cheaters with scripts on zens. Total bs against your player base.

[plucky raptor]

Add xX_TF_CNS_ANewAdventure_FinalVersion2b_Xx to the in game S7 playlist 🙏😭

[steel forge]

Pls pls pls Embark add the possibility to change sights either In-Round or only in the Range, but it would be such an easy quality of life featureeeeeee

[frozen tree]

Well he’s talking about the esports side of things, where there is pretty much one loadout for each class (and no in-game matchmaking). I do agree we shouldn’t just nerf everything, we need to buff underpowered things (especially all the specs that aren’t winch, demat, or dash)

[tawdry canyon]

fix ranked theres no reason the top500 should be on lvl30-40 alts in plat/dia and losing 1200 bcs of smurfs is dumb asf 🤡

can we ever fix this bug please

@swift dagger if i spend 2000$ on a build, set all my settings to lowest possible, resolution lowest, framerate 60, stop all background programs - and still crash, this might be a development issue and not a me issue (none of these issues started until Season 3 "performance" update, before then I played fine)

[swift dagger]

Here's the fix: get a good PC. It is so sad to see people trash the finals for stuff when it is truly their own fault. If you're using components from 5 years ago obviously your game is gonna run poorly 🙄🙄🙄

[quick plover]

Probably a general technical question, but anyone know why my game slowly starts to lag the more I play (even on the lowest graphics)? Is it just my pc, or smth else like storage space or vram leakage? I didn't have this issue when I played a months ago in like season 2, but idk what's different.

[sudden lake]

I swear this better be the update yall remove revives and defibs from TDM or else I'll be very disappointed but still play the game regardless.

[vestal prairie]

Can we have explosives dispelling smoke? Frags are pretty low value right now would be a great mechanic to take from cs and enable quite a lot of playmaking potential. The level of displacement of smoke explosives have now is so small it takes like 8 explosives to do anything

[cedar karma]

current frag damage/range is so bad too. I use sniper and I'm struggling to have it help killing people fast because they do so little damage sometimes it doesn't matter

[acoustic gust]

Can't even handle a stream 🤣

[rustic tinsel]

"Feeling they were hit unexpectedly when a player lunged them." You’re in close range and you’re surprised you got hit by a melee weapon? If you're in a situation where a sword lunge can hit turn arround, then any melee could do that.

Every weapon, when in close range, can naturally move behind the enemy or slide behind and turn to hit from the back. And dagger is a weapon specifically designed for that. Then wouldn't people feel "hit unexpectedly" by dagger too? So are you going to add aim lock to dagger? Why, sword can’t turn around like dagger does? Every weapon can naturally turn around and strike an enemy’s back. But sword alone is restricted from doing that?

Aim spinning wildly wasn't actually used, and anyone who actually played sword at a competitive level understood that.
Occasionally turning the aim wildly in certain situations was done to maximize multi-hit. Then just remove multi-hit, and you won’t need to add aim lock—which is the most frustrating patch in THE FINALS. Even if you spin wildly, you’ll only hit one person, so the problem is solved.

Even if it's not 40 degrees, as long as any form of aim lock exists, sword will have the most idiotic handling. Aim lock is the dumbest choice. Of course, you’d need to revert the damage too.

Just 74 M1 and 140 lunge is enough. Like in S1. That version was slightly weak. So in mid S2, you thought sword was weak and buffed multi-hit in a stealth patch. But because you were obsessed with keeping that, you made a stupid decision. You even removed functions that all other weapons can do.

Sword being like it was in Season 3, and if all the other weapons get buffed so much that they become far stronger than sword and sword ends up being the weakest weapon. That would still be much better. Because sword itself hasn’t changed. Having the weapon you’ve been using get nerfed, restricted, and have its identity destroyed is, more than anything else, the very "frustrating" thing ever.

[simple glen]

Demat nerf is going to cause a lot of angry ppl.

[lethal wyvern]

This^

[signal basin]

Season 8 :

**So no new LTM for L after M and H ? No new weapon for L ? H-infuser nerf AGAIN ?! No more Thermal Vision too ?! And just a LH1 buff ? **
If some people were doubting, here more proof than Embark don't give a shit about Light class.

Two MAJORS problems in this game. BALANCE and SERVERS.
Give us an API to check some stats. SHOW US HOW MEDIUM AND HEAVY ARE OVER THE TOP COMPARE TO LIGHT

** General feedback **

• In WT, objective score should give you more point at the end of a game
• If you do more than 50% of damage on an ennemy, YOU MUST HAVE THE KILL ANYWAY. Add "Assist count as kill"
• 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, team kill 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 & 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.

**⚖️ Balance ⚖️ **

• Nerf CL40. For REAL this time
• 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" recoil is increased but you can still move as you want & you take 5 dmg/sec by the electricity during 3 sec. Can hit multiple target when you shoot.
• Increase the hip fire of the CB01-Repeater Nevermind, you just buff it again.
• 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. You know what you did hereWhere are you people pinging me for this ?
• Rework defib: Reduce the cooldown reset to 5s and give 100HP instead of 50% of your HP. It will force Medium to revive safer !
• Winch & lockbolt shouldn't do 5 damages. It's already strong enough
• Rework the ARN into a real AR ? Slower RPM but much more DMG. Something like the FCAR for example.

The effort to play Light correctly is too damn high compared to Medium & Heavy class. The fact is, we never saw a Light META since the launch of this game compare to M & H. It's say a lot about the game & the balance
You destroyed the stun gun. You destroyed the XP54. You destroy H-Infuser. Every viable weapons or gadget has been destroyed nerf after nerf because of players that can't track and kill properly a 150HP class.

** 🛜 Servers problems 🛜 **

• Improve your netcode/tickrate ! Dying behind cover is not acceptable at all ! Dash is not viable because of this and it's worst with a good connection !
• Flamethrower & hook should NOT get you through walls, doors and farer than it should be
• Sword, dagger, DualBlade 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, ect...

PS: Ping me as much as you want. I don't care. Even more if you"re a M main. A lot things I suggest before as been implement.

Still no refuse revive button. That's pretty bad for my level 10 friend who's still trying to adapt their loadout easier while we're in Power Shift, TDM, or in a duo and the random we're playing with revives him anyway.

Think of the newbies!

[torn marsh]

Why did they remove career rewards? Now I can't see what I can earn.

[bleak ruin]

Why remove TERMINAL ATTACK??? :(((

[lapis pelican]

It's updated dead go boom (the WT variant) and the players drop bombs that you can throw... at least try it out before complaining

[brave copper]

Winch nerf missed the point. Cooldown wont make people less frustrated by it. You should have added something like a windup that increases the range the longer you prepare the toss, and has a minimum wind up time before tossing at all.

That would give people time to see it coming and try to get out of the way while also opening the door for you to bring back some of the range the winch used to have (at high/max wind up). Cooldown increases will do literally nothing to make winch less frustrating when it actually gets used. It will probably drive pickrate down, but when it does get picked....

Its also kind of surprising that light got nothing new, 1 gadget nerfed, and 1 gadget removed (albeit justified to remove thermals for now).

I see the removal of TA and I understand completely. You mention you would like to bring it back maybe someday for a bit. Id love to offer some feedback of what I think needs to be done to TA to make it feel more like The Finals.

Honestly the gamemode felt too constrained for what the Finals is. I liked that death meant more. But it was probably a bit too harsh and antithetical to what the Finals is about.

Id propose a gamemode like this:

• Regular gadgets and specialisations. No limits and no limited use. Healing and defib allowed.
• Statues are still there. The game ends on objective completion or teamwipe of a team. NO COINS. This still makes death meaningful and tense. But reinforces gameplay habits that transition into other modes.
• Less rounds, since rounds will tend to last longer with revives and heals. Make it best of 3 or 5. Keep a strict timer to force teams into action. Something like 2 or 3 minutes to simulate a ranked / wt cashout experience flow.
• Alternating attacking and defending. Its hard to balance the mode so one side doesnt have an advantage. By alternating you are limiting that advantage as much as possible.
• Allow backfill, this would bring it more inline with other casual modes. Think back of older CS matches where you would just join and the games never really ended. It just kept on going and going. Leavers right now are very disruptive to the mode because of its semi competitive nature.

Now the hardcore TA crowd might not agree with these changes. But it would in my opinion open up the mode more to mainstream Finals appeal.

I always liked the idea of TA, just not the execution because it felt like a completely different game. Admittedly thats why I hardly ever played it. And honestly that is the type of feedback you might really need to recieve on the mode.

Keep up the steller work!

Deciding to remove Terminal Attack for Head2Head, when we’ve only been wanting Bank It back is crazy.

Terminal Attack is basically the main game mode I played with a 5 stack, at least add in a cash based 5 stack mode or a new gamemode for 5 stack players. We now basically can't play the finals as a 5 anymore

[solar sail]

Guys, I gotta say, head to head was... Fine but hardly interesting, not sure if there's any reason other more unique modes such as bank it and terminal attack have to take the axe for head to head to stay. The game should have more variety not less, I really disagree with the decision here despite understanding that the servers require a maintenance cost

[pure spoke]

When will they fix Riot Shield hitbox?

[proven storm]

Why does embark hate mediums. We have one viable specialization demat, and they nerf it even though its not a problem. You want a problem to fix, fix riot

[warped meteor]

This premium battlepass stuff is abso-f###ing-lutely ridiculous. I didn't mind it so much last season when it was a pallette swap, but there shouldn't be stuff I'm completely walled from making a fit with just because I'm poor.

I grind out the battle pass every season, promote this game, hype it up. I spend money on this game once in a blue moon because I love it and because the cosmetics are really cool. This is just a slap in the face and it's the reason OW2 got boycotted.

[next flax]

I wish you would stop increasing the price of stuff. Blue skins for weapons 175 up from 150. Every season you do this now 😭

[fossil geyser]

Only reason demat is used more is because the other specialities just aren't good healing beam Is outshined by heal infuser and turret is just ah because anyone above gold shoots it out instantly

Season 8 patch notes IMO is the update I was hoping for the most. Amazing work.

[stuck topaz]

How do you like playing a game where instead of fixing bugs they just remove gear? The developers are simply cleaning up the traces of helplessness in front of the major, so as not to be disgraced. What do you mean "we'll work on it over the next few seasons"? Is such a cool gadget going to face the same story as with the medium's Recon, which has been "under processing" since the second season?

I did not ask for a kill cam that crashes the server. You got rid of the free cam I love so much and you're making me rage and preventing me from examining the map and strategizing.

I spent seven season loving this game, it's been an absolute thrill every single step, I have had not one complaint about these awesome devs, they are the best team in the world, every single swing has been a home run.

This season is dry. No new map, head scratching features, gotta go play something else until Ark Raiders.

The "ultimate" battle pass sucks as as your locking what look like skins that should be included in premium behind a $40 gate.. really feels shitty as someone who's stuck around since beta. Wouldn't mind if I could at least buy them with multibux..

The feeling of seeing the pass get worse as I clicked off each ultimate version and saw the shitty downgrade I'd get actually made me skip this battle pass, the first I've ever skipped. anyway feels icky. Love season 8 though

[stray wing]

Great new season, more content than expected, because of the Majors. My respect

[white anchor]

Make dagger alt have one tap/click like before plus u can hold already.

Also we need 🔥CROSS HAIR🔥 center dot to be 2.5 in options and 1.7 when aiming for ks-23,deagles and bow for precision.

Spear spin should be manual or a new rework with alt being pole vaulting,hammer has high damage and destruction untility but spear just spins with boring combos

Flamethrower should set terrain on fire after using 11 ammo on one spot continuously as a defensive utility and just setting grass on fire isn't helpful.
Make practice server have specs with no cool down.

[rocky tide]

Nerf heavy revolver lmao

[torn canyon]

I think there’s a major issue with the current sponsor reward system.

If you haven’t picked a specific sponsor in the past, you’re restricted to their older rewards — even when that sponsor returns with new rewards.

Now, imagine a season where only returning sponsors are available.

In that case, new players can only earn the old Tier 1 rewards from whichever sponsor they choose. They’d have no way to get the new sponsor rewards and would just have to wait indefinitely, not knowing when (or if) those rewards will be available again. That kind of uncertainty is frustrating and could easily lead some players to quit.

I really think this system needs improvement. Do you devs even recognize this is happening?

[dapper flower]

[dreamy ore]

WELL if you are going to nerf the demat removing one charge, at least reduce the cooldown time to 9 or 8 sec per charge. This update is killing a couple of strategies, traps and possibilities it brought

[slender girder]

Now with MNK available for console PLEASE take this chance changing matchmaking options to input based instead of just crossplay ON/OFF.

So all on PC, PS, Xbox who use controller match with each other and so on, if they choose so. Should be the default setting imo.

does that mean ill get the Araid Voice + Hype sounds? as i love the hacker themed hype lines but the face effect is rather annoying.
or does it mean face effect and normal voice.
its confusing as in a past video where the voice customization was shown off it showed the legendary Ariad Voice.

second. for the Hazard Duty mask the balaclava is glitching through- unlike for the arena headset.

[spare ravine]

Pls help audio is messed up even after restarting game

[twilit kite]

First thoughts :

Grenades animation system, they're so SO slow, why am I forced to go through the whole animation. It makes goo-ing to escape fights as a light really REALLY bad in terms of timing, it was already super tight before when I was dying through my goo walls I had thrown, now it's forcing me to go through the whole animation.

Idk if you guys changed something about the sound system or anything, it's really really hard to tell where i'm being shot from ? or maybe it's just the new weapons.

The changing loadout window post death in game, why can't I escape it with ESC. Feels annoying to have to press the same key again, would leave the option for ESC and then ESC again if I want to access the menu.

Overall though the game feels a little smoother in terms of FPS, It feels slow and sloppy, like my grenades are sticking to me. Battlepass looks good, cosmetics are nice i bought some but yeah i quit the game 3 games in because of how sticky the game feels

[quick hill]

4th season in a row now where I crash, I have every setting low, I have reinstalled the game several times, verified integrity of files, cleaned out my computer, everything, and still this is the 4th time where after barely 2-40 minutes of gameplay it will just crash or even blue screen my pc, the only game on my library to do this. Please I am begging for some sort of update that makes this game more stable, I so badly want to play and have been denied out of finishing passes or playing events purely because of these crashes

[silk bramble]

literally fuck you embark for removing thermal. Cant even outrun P90 as a light, heavy revolver is just unfair as hell. Light is literally just farming deaths now

[rigid oxide]

loooove all this new stuff that just released

I'm curious to know whether all the effects will eventually make it to the style menu

thinking specifically of the S1 hat effect, and the valentine's face hearts effect

[jade mirage]

Why are you playing Asia servers if you're in Oceania?

[dusky plume]

what did the frag grenade ever do to you guys at embark

[small crest]

Raise XP earned through daily contracts to 4K XP

It used to be 5K
It used to be 3K
Now it's 2K

That is dark game design creeping, man.

[solemn fulcrum]

A genuine question to the Devs:

How did you come up to the conclusion that TDM fits this game, but Bank It does not and needs to be removed?

[vivid axle]

nerf bfr already ☹️

[neon moat]

They did a complete turnover with heavy meta instead of light im gladly trashing light

[shut snow]

fuck yall thermal users lol

[coarse condor]

another season passes without a dagger buff 😔

[tired fable]

I can't wait to play S8, you have cooked well but ngl I don't understand why you choose a revolver for heavies.. for heavies ! why we don't have A HEAVY WEAPON instead, why we have a fat hunt rifle instead or a pile/harpoon/tree trunk launcher anyway it makes more sense for a poke weapon imo. Handgun is a poor weapon design for heavy imo, Desert Eagle is fine because it's paired, it looks geniusly stupid like that but a single revolver... ok it shoot big caliber but... meh...

[agile zenith]

i would prefer cash ball as a permanent mode than head2head

[scenic ferry]

ligh needs to be given 8 shots on heavy LH
and heavy needs to be given 2 shots

[next atlas]

bruh only if you can aim

[hazy bridge]

hey embark, will the heart effects from the valentine skin get separated from the skin? I love the look of all white skin with the red heart on the head but the particle give me away when behind cover
:o

[grave elbow]

I only played terminal attack 😢

[violet elbow]

new pullout speed change on gadgets feels genuinely terrible, please fix this

[gray solar]

"The Dematerializer Specialization has been by far the most picked Specialization" Meanwhile the only time light's pick anything besides dash is when a streamer wants cool clips with the grappling hook.
They can and will nerf the P90 and BFR, but light only has one spec and its been that way for a while. I get that light's need Dash for ruby play and above to be viable but why does 90% of the player base have to deal with shit matchmaking and annoying as hell dash so that the top 10% can play light?

[gritty grotto]

uuuh, they appear but you can shoot and walk through them with force (like some sorta resistance is there but you can go through)

[cosmic ether]

what's wrong with the union jack?

the equip speed feels SO bad and make it so u can close the reserve menu with escape again its agony opening the settings when trying to exit out of that menu

The new Riot Shield first person model takes up way too much of the screen and is kinda unnecessary in my opinion

there is no french flag nor french outfit hope it get fix soon embark...

What's going on with the Riot Shield?!? Please make them like before. I can't see anything!!! It sucks!

only two sponsors with one returning is a horrible idea, most people who didn't initially sign holtow are NOT going to pick holtow because we aren't unlocking tier 2

On PS4 and I couldn’t exit the in-match loadout menu, the button works just fine, but I couldn’t respawn and I eventually had to leave the match

[toxic coyote]

Embark pleaseeee fix the auto calibration for motioncontrols/gyro. Nobody will use it if it doesn't properly work well. I have 1000 hours on gyro and all the gyro guys are asking for this fix pleaseeeee. No one wants to be fighting against the auto calibration mid gunfight!

[sudden quiver]

WHAT THE FUCK DID U DO TO THE XP

[sonic salmon]

hold up so we giving up thermal vision so smoke can just be a problem.... come onnnnnnnn

[ember dirge]

So embark decided to add scale of heaven set and makes a skin for a sword, and then decides not to include it in the buddle, wtf are we thinking embark, have you not learned your lessons in the past seasons, so half fast, cant wait for all the other stuff and for the battlepass to not even compare to store updates

[mellow narwhal]

Winch is still super dumb

[dreamy badge]

Needing to wait for an animation to finish when using gadgets is getting bad.

This should not be possible and it gets me killed far too often.```

Possible fix: I suggest locking players into fully activating a gadget and being unable to swap during that activation time so at least when I am killed I can accept that I simply was not fast enough to use my gadget rather than canceling the action outright.

[urban hatch]

stream didnt last long enough to get all drops, i blame oscar

[coarse scroll]

[sharp sail]

Where can I find this match history? Maybe worth implement that into statistic page?

[blazing ingot]

That white valentine skin for characters has hearts floating around it’s head, make it so you can transfer those onto other type of skins and also an option to remove it.
Off topic, if there is a delay from equipping barricades to placing them then remove it.
Felt a very annoying delay while using those in the new season

[normal oasis]

Bring back Terminal attack and Bank it and send Head2Head to hell it’s so much worse than the other two

[sick geode]

I love the new group-skins. But it would be even better if you can get one pack and share single skins with your friend. only being able to gift a complete one is too much for my wallet.

[distant arch]

This game would be incredible with a replay mode for video editing and rewatching clips, especially with the introduction of kill cams, i feel like its definitely a possibility if we suggest it enough to be heard 🙏

[clever canopy]

The BP bonus page has a super disappointing item. The Holtow orange hair is quite literally a shorter version of the hair we got from the grenade launcher event (it doesn't have a mullet and is overall slightly shorter). I don't know why they didn't have the mowhawk be orange, and this hair to be green.

[hard timber]

we desperately need new specializations added back into the game. its been way too long since we've had any new specializations

[languid niche]

In regards to the demat animation and mechanical nerf and goo animation slow down it is completely justifiable as someone who abused these features. It doesn’t ruin anything too drastically which is the point. I think these were healthy changes to the game to closes the skill gap and slowing down a fight but still keeping it engaging.

As for the P90, also doesn’t seem too strong, seems very reliable and a fun gun with the large magazine as medium. Glad it wasn’t chosen for the light since it is a sub machine gun. Medium needed a new auto weapon apart from the marksman rifles.

Hand cannon also seems to have almost no damage fall off or bullet travel which might need some tweaking depending on how the community takes it.

All around very satisfied with the changes

[silk sedge]

The TA community is in Shambles

[hybrid dagger]

Can someone please explain what the devs ment by new weapon system?

[visual wave]

The P90 rockssss

[severe sage]

I'm gonna suggest a new mode that I would love to see

a 5v5 gamemode where it picks 1 guy as a juggernaut for each team and it forces them into a heavy and the only gun they have is the minigun where the juggernauts get increased hp, damage, and heavily increased structure damage. Add a capture point where the juggernaut must be on to gain points for their team

[quaint pawn]

anyone see if they fixed netcode in this patch at all or made modifications to it?

[verbal cairn]

Holy they actually nerfed meta shit took long enough

[turbid mortar]

probably an unpopular opinion but PLEASE revoke this change. Grenades were plenty obvious, I never minded dying to one, and it always felt good to kill someone with it. This change removes so many cool strategies like dropping a grenade as you run away or trying to discreetly bounce one into a room

[peak forge]

We need TA back

pretty please adjust weapon xp? i really like the new skin and the p90, which is going to take a while ;-;

[stark girder]

Why am I receiving a match-ban penalty for abandoning the match, when I re-joined, won the first round and played the next match entirely? Did you forget to code the penalty to match the new abandon timer? I was kicked for "System Integrity Violation" - A disallowed game file modification was detected. This caused an un-skippable verification of files via steam which takes 2 minutes.

[sinful finch]

you have something that i want (3rd demat charge)

[void forge]

my game runs like shit after the update. randomly caps at 30fps until I restart. I used to have consistent 85 fps but now I struggle to get 40

Grenade animations are an abomination right now. Frag, pyro, gas... you can see the animation, you can hear the sound, you throw the grenade... but you didn't actually threw it. Really annoying this.

Anyone having problems with the insta replay stopping u from switching weapons\character

[zealous mural]

the nvidia filters stopped working after the update. you need to fix this ASAP, the game is so blurry without them in 1080p

[silent musk]

I think the instant replay text screen could come out a bit sooner after death and its duration should be way faster. I love the kill cam, and while there is great use in it for gaining information, the time taken to get in and then out of it leaves me missing some important info

The length of the kill cam is fine, but the “INSTANT REPLAY” screen takes a bit too long for me

[craggy otter]

They should have removed a charge from the Light dash. I'm tired of these insecure light players triple dashing away from me after getting out gunned because they spam their keyboard instead of learning to aim correctly.

[crystal storm]

please please please please make the characters out of breath sounds a part of the dialogue volume slider so i dont have to have my character breathing in my ears the entire match

[rough depot]

this is the worst season I think ive seen since 3

[light zenith]

I would say something if it wasnt ragebait boys and girls. Everything is fine over here

[dusty river]

i was looking forward to this season. didn't get much teasered other than new destruction and some weapon closeups.
now i log in and see that there is a total of -1 new things for light, no new map or gadget, just a slap in the face. so does that mean light isn't going to get a new weapon till season 10?
Well i might take a pause when arc releases anyway but still come on a third gun should have been feasible.

edit: also can we talk about the battlepass? 30 dollar bp: sick ass black skin with red accents, normal bp: dirty sock. can we at least get like half the effort for the normal bp not just a middle finger?

Nothing exciting for this season, easy uninstall

[soft hinge]

the medium smg is absolutely horendous, everyone LOVES lights, what if they have more health - that's exactly what happens when M chooses p90. You no longer can tell who you fight against when hearing smgs, it's also has 50 rounds which is like enough to wipe a whole team...

[tame abyss]

When?

[regal salmon]

Has the flamethrower been nerfed, or just had a visual overhaul (which is kind of a nerf anyway), or is it just a bug?

The stream of flames is really poor looking now.

[analog glacier]

Nerfing the dematerializer is stupid, especially considering it's the most used spec. The Light's dash should have been nerfed, too. Pathetic.

So I'm even more convinced to abandon this game for good on October 10th in favor of BF6.

[uneven wraith]

kyoto feels worse than ever, its really so bad...

[dull quarry]

The removal of all the animation cancels on nades feels insanely horrible to play

[real wyvern]

The P90 is a nice addition but it is not competitive in the slightest.
For the low range it has, it does not provide any benefit in form of damage, hipfire etc. for the medium class.
In comparison to light smgs, it is in fact pathetic.

[mossy otter]

Nerf P90 right now

[versed gull]

Loving the new season so far!

[slate iron]

The delay for gadgets and specs is horrible, please revert

[mild quartz]

Gadget switch delay feels AWFUL. Closed qualifiers happen within 10 - 11 days. This needs to be resolved within the week.

[rich lynx]

Hate when i get those all snipers teams. If there are 3 or 4 snipers i usually switch to sniper and aid in the loss. Especially when i get sniper heavies on my team. They stay back with a barricade and a healing ball further than sr84 sniping with their dual pistols its so impressive.

[stiff furnace]

You guys absolutely made the game horrible. Delay with weapons and gadgets. Along, with getting rid of terminal attack 50k plus players on that and you keep power shift over it? Un real game is about to lose so many people

[hexed scarab]

Demat rework makes the demat not fun but useless, P90 has way too much ammo and too accurate in long range, bfr does way too much damage (heavy shouldnt be able to Peak and basically oneshot cross map). If this isnt adressed, this season ist cooked from the start...

[dull otter]

[slow crescent]

Thanks for delete terminal attack!

[pseudo haven]

WHY THE FUCK IS THERE STILL NO NEW MAP, NOZOMI IS ALREADY BORING, AND VEGAS/FORTUNE STADIUM ARENT NEW MAPS, THEYRE JUNK

Embark the P90 and Demat changes are absolutly perfect well done!

[tulip steppe]

Thank you embark for mnk on console 👏🏼

[quick coyote]

great everything feels worse to use, lights remain on top, solo queue sucks still, battlepass is trash, replay system is delayed for no reason, battlepass advertisement after every menu interaction

[heady socket]

I genuinely believe the Pike didn’t need a nerf. I play at high ranks, and yes, the weapon was popular, but not because it was overpowered. In my opinion, it was mainly because most of the other medium-class weapons are extremely weak, and Pike was the only reliable choice.

The Pike gave medium players a way to control mid-to-long range fights. Now, after the nerf, it feels useless compared to everything else.

It’s also important to remember that Pike requires significantly more skill than automatic rifles in close combat — every missed shot is heavily punished, unlike with ARs, where high fire rate compensates for mistakes. That was the natural balance.

Right now, the weapon has lost its identity and feels like dead weight.

[hard badger]

nerf the fkng sword or wont play ure game anymore, sick of being killed with op weapons. Going back to cod if u dont change it. And also this game is getting worse with op weapons against peashooters (guns that deal almost no damage). Im getting two tapped with the new hand cannon from heavy. Im getting two tapped by a sword player. The only way to just win is to play with the meta guns thats why I hate this game and will probably not play this again. I have over 600 hours and its getting worse every season. S7 it was the minigun that deals to much damage. AK against minigun, obv minigun wins in the hands of a intermediate player. S5 it was that lever action gun... You see what I mean? Nice to have a killcam that way we can inspect how ez it is with a few weapons to mown players down. The weapon balance is straight out pathetic. Even call of duty does this better then this game... Seriously how can anyone keeps playing this game if all weapons aren't balanced well... The balancing team just doesnt know what there doing, how many times is invisibility being nerfed and now its just garbage, they still see you and half the time its even not working smh... I enjoyed the game with the first 4 seasons but thats it...

[rare crescent]

Very disappointed

[sonic arrow]

Make this a p90 skin I beg you

No it's actually Splatoon 2

[sick mulch]

what in the marathon

[muted shard]

you changed the demat with the reason, that its the most picked meidum spec.

• you obviously didnt thought about, that all the other specs for medium are complet garbage and worse than some gadgets for the other classes. Thats actually a really stupid point.

You changed the pike, which is maybe okay, but again, just because the other weapons on medium are really bad in terms of dps compared to other classes:

You overworked the demat, but were again unable to fix it. Its still broken (https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1nac80g/embark_desperately_needs_to_add_input_buffering/)

• yet you have managed to implement the unbelieveable difficult to implement, but yet unbelievable badly implemented kill cam, but could fix the game health

While the defib and goo had also issues like the demat already, goo grenades (maybe also other grenades) are unplayable at the moment. You use them, you even hear the voiceline for goo and it just dissapears. (also here obviously not the only one https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1ndm05o/did_they_change_the_grenade_timing/)

On the sames side, this game had back in the early days reload canceling (like basically every other shooter). You killed it, one has to change to a gadget or spec. Thats just dumb. With just 2 demat charges you cant switch to it to stop the reload as often.

Then there are so basic things, that are broken since seasons. If you are playing with the old controller loadout and are spectating after a wipe, the "up" button is double mapped with the pinging wheel and this is just because you changed the layout and didnt implement the option to customize the spectator cam. Only workaround is to remap the ping button, which is ridiculous.

Pls fix this game.

[dense agate]

Not the place for a post like this. Go to account support on their website or you were mistaken and that is a free reward and you didn't realize.

[sterile sedge]

pls nerf the heavy revolver its horrendous to play against

[coarse sapphire]

why... why the termal vision...

[safe ravine]

First of all:

The work that has been put for the start of this season is immense and appreciated Embark. Thanks for so much love put into this game, and really want this game to succeed. ❤️
Maybe it's because of a new season, but the game now really has a visual that feels now AAA. It doesn't have this subtle aspect of "cheapness" (might sound rude but idk how to put it in any other way). The game kinda of feels now heavier, more realistic and better overall (esp visually).
This is huge. Maybe placebo effect because of the destruction feels less "bubbly/floaty".

I wasn't really one of the ones that wanted kill cams, but it's so good. End stats is huge too. (AND I CAN APPRECIATE SEEING MY SKIN INGAME 😄 YEEPEE) I'll bring returning players into the game, there's no way they won't appreciate the game now.
A problem that arose tho is that u can't type right after u die to give allies info, that may be very bad for soloQ in ranked especially, so please fix.
Still I feel like with the lack of map and proper setting, this feeling of BIG SEASON THEME is still lacking, but you are doing the right choice of improving QoL. Keep this direction.

Also with S7 and S8 you are not afraid of cosmetics decisions now and it's huge! Keep it up ❤️ (Please remove nade indicator, wtf is this, it's already underplayed. The sound was already good enough to indicate the nade coming and it fks immersion 🙁 )
Can't forget to talk about the S8 launch trailer!!! PEAK: slower, understandable, (the shots with the 3 orfs fistbumping is so cool) but nonetheless epic af!!

Now to the real business: ||MEDIEVAL MAP AND SEASON EMBARK, MEDIEVAL CHIVALRY-LIKE EVENT to introduce map!! Give us clubs customizable homebase and map creator!! PVE coop mode and my wallet is yours!!||

[naive root]

New club ideas!

Can we add a feature to clubs where doing club contracts earns the club points that can be used to buy the entire club items? Perhaps something like an in game team jersey, hat or sticker?

In additional can clubs form alliances and rivalries? Where winning with an allied team gives both clubs bonus club points and beating a designated rival club provides bonus XP.

[gleaming summit]

how its possible to make the audio mix more bad than s7, this is insane.

[severe linden]

P90 is busted af

[tacit whale]

There’s a gnarly new bug that makes your gun shoot constantly. I’m not sure how I’m stopping it but if you switch weapons or bring up the messages it stops.

Also I can’t believe you guys didn’t revert the stun affect on winch. You guys actually need to play the game one day to understand how fucking broken it is

[night drift]

put the thermal view back in

[pallid harbor]

S8 perfrormance is very bad for me. Random stutters/low fps, especially when firing.

[proven orchid]

Same

[twin helm]

revert demat nerf

[valid cradle]

Remove kyoto from the fucking game holy shit

[thin falcon]

pike does way to much headshot damage like 90 which i dont think its meant to 4 taps a heavy

[cerulean mason]

Demat still annoying af to play against, all you did was make it worse for people using it. I won't be playing the game for a week or two so everyone can stop using the mf P90 because the three matches I played were some of the most abysmal games I've had and ive been playing since before launch. No matter what you guys tweak about weapons and gadgets the fact remains that playing against 3 of anything feels like shit.

[true karma]

nerf demat even harder the tears are delicious

[rapid stream]

pleaseee embark oscar give me the abilty to use all of the eyes on the anime face 🙏

[native plinth]

remove the replay when you got rez, sometimes the screen cant be exited fast enough and I died at least twice because of this already

[raw thicket]

aryan eyes

[misty jasper]

go back to cod noob

[fallen mirage]

I really like the kill cam but it should be an option, not default after you die. It takes you out of the game and distracts people from coining…

[wanton echo]

the instant replay isnt that instant...

[warm viper]

Hey guys! I might br wrong or might be a pc thing (doubt that) but i legit feel like everything is a lot slower. Like my jumpad places slower, i defib slower and everything. Any ideas ?

[slim zodiac]

YOU REMOVED THE TERMINAL ATACK!! MY FAVOURITE MODE. Instead of remodeling and making the game more engaging like enabling switching specialization, etc.. you guys removed the MOST strategic game mode and reduced the entire game to basically 4 EQUAL non-tactic modes with crazy random spawns everywere, were luck is a major factor. Four equal modes and one powershift..... After 1150 hours in this game i'm very sad.

[deft valve]

I felt that too. Slight delay when taking up the "tablet" to deploy the gadget

[analog fog]

Why would you nerf demat? It was already hard af to use effectively due to persistent desync issues server side

[swift crater]

just wanted to say thankyou to thee devs ❤️

a full set of ORF sets AND a thermal rework, 🙏 Xmas came early iv been askiing for this since season 1, bless the devs, they pulled through Pagman Keep cooking

[uneven ledge]

The CPU usage for the finals increased so much this update i cant even average 30 fps. What went wrong can you fix it?
The issue gets fixed temporarily by restarting the game, at the beginning the fps is good but then it slowly degrades until it gets to like 30 fps, turned off instant replay and all settings on low and that doesnt work either.
-My gpu usage is like 35% and the cpu render is very high

[indigo nova]

cant wait for 9/12 weeks of world tour to be standard cashout again! WOOHOO

since this update adder reflex scope on shak is different, the lines are way too thin, it was fine before why change it?

Suggestion: make it so after you fully complete a sponsor you can choose another one. After all the contract should be terminated after we fully complete the questline no?

[summer elbow]

Frame drops on console is insane, cant hit 120fps anymore

Does embark know about the Light Dash bug already?

[peak tusk]

Play Power shift

[lament seal]

Dear Embark devs!

Green fill light on contestant in main menu (when you pick Trentila sponsor) - is not it.

It looks realy "toxic" and messes up skintone of and clothing color of character. Also it clashes with background arena with black and red palette. It made me regret sponsorship in 1 min.

Love the way, how in previous seasons it stayed consistent with one dominating color, hope you can check on this.

Thanks for amazing game and new banger season

Is there reason behind the chosen country capes? I know embark is located in Sweden, but .. where is the danish cape and flag? Are there plans to add more countries ?

🇩🇰

[random lagoon]

Light has more than medium and heavy already, fair imo

[opal basin]

yeah I agree

[earnest sonnet]

did any of the devs try the P90 bevor bringing it into the game? Is this a joke? WTF did they think?

[regal crane]

let me type while in killcam it's quite annoying not being able to relay coms while dead

[magic fable]

You are 100% right I knew I wasn’t bugging bro the gadgets feel so delayed atm

[vital oxide]

Flame thrower is stronk for heavys, jeez

[wheat wyvern]

Can we have the ability to select which skins on weapons we want shuffled instead of all of them?

[vagrant bough]

Is it just me or did the lag get way worse this season? Yesterday I had spikes every now and again, now I can’t even play without being a 10 fps teleporting mess

[covert yacht]

Like im sorry but embark never learns like can we get a single fucking weapon which has recoil

[bleak bay]

CAN WE BE ABLE TO PUT MORE THAN A SINGLE SPRAY EMOTE DOWN??? I dont understand why other games can do this bur yours cant, like you all were able to fix the demolition, why not the stickers???

[fallow horizon]

dude what is with this disallowed game file what game file is not allowed embark tell me you just kicked me out my world tour

[azure urchin]

patch is broken, as a solo still getting paired against 2-3 stacks of same clan tag individuals. this features just not working at all

[visual sluice]

you play light dont you

[spring crypt]

Maybe try a other form of game event.
Instead of a timed period of major chaos how about a Map Modifier that stays all round but is less impactful?

e.g permanent meteors but less and more indicative?

low gravity but less "low gravity" so closer to normal gravity or maybe in clear zones of the map.
less alien invasions but also more indicative.

a way to make these modifiers less random. give more control to the players. maybe with levers, tools, buttons, or assign events to designated objects or arena carriables that both serve as a indicator and moveable object that could introduce a tactical controlable aspect that would put one party clearly on the recieving and using end.

Maybe these aspect could fit into ranked one day. An extension or addition to modifiers like high rise and suspended structures.
Still in touch with the casual events but more competitive compatible.

RIP TA - as good as cashout is, and I get that TA had bad queues, but I'm not sure if we needed 4 ways to play QC rather than trying to improve TA

[honest verge]

The Emerald grind is pretty crazy. I made it to Diamond 2 and I played consistently. I committed last season after a few ranked games to get Plat after Gold placements. It was nearly all solo player grinding to be fair. If I wanted better odds of what felt like a fair match I'd go play Ranked.

I feel like instant replay should either be a button press to watch or make the screen not the full red because it can be a bit disorienting and annoying

[lyric jackal]

Same here bro, my cpu its exploding and the gpu its just relaxing, idk what to do 😿

[plain karma]

You can turn it off in settings

[tawdry geyser]

Make use of the clubs add something to them. More levels or maybe skins?

[subtle plinth]

gadget/weapon swap delay needs to be reverted back. it feels awful and the sounds are still synced at the old timings

[reef lake]

brought the riot shield “in line with other melee weapons” and then brought it back to what feels like its pre-melee buff state. what purpose?

[void horizon]

Riot shield wasn’t meant to be as oppressive as it was. It’s a defensive tool. If you want offence, use dual blades.

Glad it got dealt with. Assuming you were one of the players abusing it lol

[limber sapphire]

Still haven't gotten my sponsor reward from head2head....

[grave stone]

me either, a few people haven't from what i've heard despite completeing all 10 contracts.

[fiery osprey]

Game feedback try not to be the worst fucking place on earth challenge (Impossible)

[dull kettle]

Rip the grenade

[copper blaze]

Fix the dagger.
And nerf dash.
Buff SA1216.

People exploit the dash+dagger combo to kill everyone instantly, every time.

Also, remove the 5 second delay for leaving a match.
When I want to leave, I want to leave. Alt+F4 is faster these days.

[shrewd oxide]

error code TFAV8005

[grizzled swift]

Instant replay... lol.... got angry like after 2 times. Such a irritating implementation.

[tawdry basin]

mid match leavers should get a season ban.
