The killcam feature needs more optimization

After i deactivate it

The fps bevome more stable and with less freezing

[rotund gust]

I don't like how you intentionally made the base battlepass (non mythic) such an inferior bp to force people to buy mythic. This seasons base pass is pretty much objectively the worst one ever made. I love the game, but it is.

The final pages with the Holtow and Trentila skins are fire though! 🔥 🔥 🔥
as a counter point I think the final rewards are the best fnal pages ever made

[burnt notch]

The replay system is in beta what do u expect, before this it was assumed pulling it off would be impossible

[woven karma]

I disagree with your first point. You didn't explain your claim so we will just have our own opinion.

I will say, it's definitely not necessary to implement nationality so front and center just for esports. I know team games mostly get represented by the orgs that own a team, and those certainly get in game cosmetics sometimes. As far as I know, only Rocket League has actual flags available to be displayed in game, and right now Afghanistan and Syria are outdated... Otherwise, for every other game, nationality is mostly relegated to stream overlay during competitive events.

As for your main complaint, you seem to frame the degree of customization available in The Finals as a concession to LGBTQ. This is how you end up with the "give them an inch, they take a mile," perspective. Unfortunately it's difficult to agree with you because that's 100% impossible to prove. I don't believe I am gay when I put a feminine voice on my masculine contestant just because the one masc voice I own isn't as interesting.

I also take issue with the wording of "shove an agenda down people's throats," because of the places where I recognize that from. If we could just look at what's actually being requested, I don't think it demands this sort of hostility in response.

[FOR SPECTATOR MODE]

Maybe add a slight tint of the spectated players team color to their view model?
Kind of like how Valorant does it in their spectate mode.

It’s sometimes hard to realize which team you’re spectating without having to look at the sides and visibly see who the camera is on! I think this change will help with the viewer experience for the major!!!

[iron leaf]

I don’t want to be so negative because I actually enjoy the core of the game.
Nevertheless, with every season, the balancing gets worse and worse, forcing you more and more to pick counters for the meta instead of just playing a loadout that’s fun.
We’re now reaching a level I’ve only seen in Destiny 2 PvP. It’s really annoying, and my patience is wearing thin. Judging by the player numbers, I’m not alone in this.
I don’t want The Finals to die, but for a competitive shooter, the balancing has to be on point, and so does the matchmaking, which is also a disaster.
You need new players, but they get farmed by the sweats and then never touch the game again.
I’ve tried so many times to bring newbies into the game, but they leave immediately because even Casual mode is too intense for them.
This shouldn’t be an unknown issue after eight seasons, yet nothing is being done.
Both of these things should have been addressed long ago! These are crucial points for making the game sustainable in the long term.
Please, finally take care of it.

[untold haven]

i fucking wish this thing was only annoying against lights 😭

^get a squad anything above 25k ur going to go against full squads. if u wanted to q against all solos at gold 2 the wait time would be an hour not enough people play this game

[cosmic ether]

Front and centre? The cosmetics and backdrops themselves are down right the most basic, boring items in comparison to almost every other cosmetic offered in the game..even the free ones. There seems to be some sort of misunderstanding in your logic. I am simply stating in relation to OP's original point, that there are more than enough ways to exercise your freedom of individual expression without bringing real world political ideologies into a place where it doesn't belong.

When the investment in esports doesn't move the needle can we go back to focusing on making the core game fun again? Please.

[ruby sierra]

What real world political ideologies are you even bullshiting about bro. if a bunch of color scheme stripes is politics then you have much to learn about the world around you.

cross dressing is fine but you draw the line at some flags? check yo standards cuz they don't add up

[young flare]

first of all, for the grand major, if you set up a scotty and june twitch account and had some vas that sound as close as possible to them commentate, that would be sick. separate account cause first of all it just feels cooler and more real, second of all because the vas probably wont know as much about the game as the rel announcers, so you can choose scotty and june who dont really know whats going on quite as well or the real announcers
second of all, can we make it so i dont have to spam infinite buttons at the end of a game? just do space to scroll through everything, escape once to get to the new postgame stat screen, one more to get to main menu. I dont know why it's so annoying to do atm

[fathom otter]

man i sure would like some balanced matchmaking in my competitive shooter

[cedar eagle]

Man this game is awesome I sure wish the servers would hold together enough for me to play

[dawn flame]

the bunch of color stripes represents a real world political ideology and is pretty much universally recognized as that, so it is one. the reason it's not just a bunch of color stripes is that people look at it and say "oh thats the lgbtq flag" not "oh thats a bunch of random colors". by your logic someone could run the confederate flag and "oh its just a bunch of colors" or someone could say something really bad and "oh its just a bunch of letters". You can't take something that universally represents an idea and just pretend it doesn't. the meaning behind pretty much everything, including the words youre reading is assigned by us, not inherent, so if you think meaning assigned to something by us isn't real meaning, this message and all languages should be incoherent to you. you can't just strip the meaning from something and pretend that's the entire picture.

Whatever you boasted how you fixed three stacks getting pitted against solo q people, that ain't working, been playing against three stacks all the time, with random solo q people.

Every other game can do this, how is this so hard after almost two years? Make people wait a bit longer while finding match, how is it so hard? We will just listen the banger ost while queuing up anyway, it won't hurt us, if it means the next X ammount of time will be more enjoyable, and fun.

Also hit req has been bad this season.

Dear Embark Team,

Eclipse Shade Repeater skin please 🙏

[shadow elk]

The real issue with these sorts of people, is that they just don't like what LGBTQ+ things stand for. They always say "let's keep politics out" when the only political statement regarding them is from people who, again, don't like the LGBTQ. Us queer folk have all sorts of our own political beliefs, and so do straight folks too. Having a flag ingame to represent who we are does NOT violate or invalidate them, NOR does it "push an agenda". They know this, but they argue it anyway, because, again, it's not about fact, it's their own personal problem that they have, which is no reason to deny such a simple, harmless addition to a game.

The message is freedom and safety and welcoming people to be themselves. They don't like that. They will kick, scream, fight, and come up with every reason why their fragile egos can't stand seeing queer representation in their vicinity, and to that, I say, close your eyes, and the colors can't get you. It's ridiculous the layers of copium you have to peel back to get down to the root cause of their pushback: Ignorance.

LGBTQ+ is not leaving the scene anytime soon. We've always existed, and we will continue to exist as long as people exist, because identity and self expression is part of being a human. They just don't like our version of being ourselves. But you don't get to just pick and choose, because people don't like to be kept as a secret or squished into the shadows. There's no reason why a videogame such as this one, where political commentaries and societal reflections are very front and center, (the sponsors, their corruption, the messages from CNS and the allegories of THE FINALS itself) to not make a stand for equality and pride in oneself for who you are. That's all it is. No agenda. Just rocking the colors of the team you're on, like we do IRL and ingame with all sorts of flags and colors. I'm glad you get it, and I wish more people did, too.

The world would be a kinder place.

Hit reg is probably the new anticheat messing with the data being sent/received in some way, it's the only thing they've changed that could be messing with that either that or the new destruction somehow 🤷‍♂️
And yeah, the whole soloq people going against soloq mostly is not working, you might get your first round mostly like that but i've had in 100% of the matches this season at least 2 full squads in the 2nd round and multiple 2-man teams, i would rather have it revert back and at least get a 2-man team to play with me even if there are no comms

[solar loom]

yo can leaving ranked games be punished more harshly please? I just solo qued two games and in both games the two teamates disconnected instantly

[waxen thicket]

• add a combo multiplier for taking down multiple enemies in quick succession as well as defend, steal and revives

• improve the voicelines on Scotty and June to reflect more scenarios such as double cashouts, 3rd parties and moving cashbox away from stations instead of depositing

• only keep the first 2 moves for the Spear rmb and Dual Blades lmb combos to make them useful in more situations

• add manual detonation on rmb for MGL32 and 10 damage to the projectile itself on impact

• buff the firerate on V9S

• make all marksman weapons have projectile bullets beyond their max range just like Sniper Rifle and KS23

• turn the KS23 projectile into an explosive slug with a tiny 1m explosion radius, so that it can break wall segments more consistently

• add knockback on self-damage explosions to allow tricks such as rocket jump and nade boost

• add a 1.15x headshot multiplier to all shotguns except SA1216 and SH1900

• add a 10 explosion damage to gas burns

• give falling chunks of wall and debris 1-10 damage on impact with players, depending on the weight and velocity

• add color trails for other grenades as well: emp=blue, pyro=orange, gas=green, sonar=yellow

• add more reticles options and colors for the individual sights

• reveal healthbar of enemies only after you or your teammates have damaged them recently

• add an option to bring a 2nd weapon or specialization in exchange for only having 2 equipments instead of 4

• allow a 15s break w/ class and loadout swaps during half-time, like irl sports matches where players and formations are changed during halftime

[naive root]

Absolutely!

[round isle]

They added goblins to the game @luke

[hasty coral]

the devs should implement extending the timer if a player is stealing the cashout.. would make games much more interesting.

it would add some tension and stop it from just being a lost cause in the final moments after wiping a team

you are telling me this game is esports ready with these fuck ass spawns - if you cant tell from the horrible quality video, they were wiped and spawned 50m away from the obj

also earlier this game i tried to pick up a statue to revive, then i started running with it in my hand, guess what wasnt in my hand by the time i got 10 meters away
we got wiped thanks to this stupid glitch

also why cant we add reactions to #👂┇game-feedback messages??

Hello
I would like to give feedback about performance of game.
Well, my specs are these:
CPU: Intel i7-12700H
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 140w
RAM: 16 GB

The question is:
I could play Cyberpunk 2077 everything everything set to high/ultra + ray tracing on medium with DLSS at 120-140 FPS.
While somehow in Finals, everything set to low and lighting set to static, I get 120 FPS max. Even drops down to 90 on active scenes. Like...

Yes maybe I should clarify. I meant front and center relative to other esports games. I mean, you can wear your nation as a cape. That's pretty unique I think.

But if you do find them basic, what harm is there in including the same items for a LGBTQ identity? If a nation's flag can be free of political ideology by virtue of representing an identity, why can't a gay flag be offered the same courtesy?

[dense basin]

I'm not sure if this is happening on any other servers as I'm in the Asia server but as of these past couple of days, I've been getting a load of these AFK bots (?) as I would describe them. As I can spectate them when I die, it's something I'd describe as someone automating a script so they'd move their head left and right, and then shoot every few seconds so they won't get kicked out of the game for being AFK. I play mainly TDM so I'm not sure if this is happening in other modes, or if this is already a prevalent problem, as I've only been playing The Finals for a month and this is a first.

Honestly, It's so frustrating because roughly 1 out of every 2-3 matches in TDM now I get AT LEAST one of these bots in my team, or the other. Last night, my team had THREE of these bots in them. At that point, what's the point in even continuing with the match? 😭

It's not fun to play against teams with these bots in them as well. Really defeats the purpose of the game and I can tell it frustrates the players there too, cause they just end up leaving and the only people left on the team would be these bots. We'd literally just be spawn camping to kill them and win the game.

I really hope there will be a fix to this problem soon, as it's really a bummer to play with problems like this.

matchmaking in comp is one of the most miserable experiences ive had in competitive games holy

[leaden tangle]

Hey, I wasn't unavailable to see the stream. Can anyone tell me what teams are classified to the Major?

[thin hinge]

• Custom reticles (for example, i like the standard sight for P90 but I wish I could change the chevron for just a dot)
• Ability to change sights in practice range and try them out
• Customisation of player cards for different classes created (I don't want to have the same border or background in my light and in my medium or heavy)
• When we are making an outfit, I wish we could save also emotes, sounds, sprays, etc, and also create player card. This way, every time I go into a match I can change outfits and I will have the proper emotes and player card customised for that outfit.
• In Contestants, being able to name the classes we created instead of being Light 1, Light 2, Medium 1, Medium 2, Heavy 1, Heavy 2, etc.
• In settings, add a setting to mute/disable the in-game chat

For private matches I have two suggestions:

• solo private match. Specially to try some mechanics alone and practice them.

• I usually create private matches with friends not to fight but to learn and teach mechanics. Today I was teaching something to a friend and I couldn’t explain very well because we didn’t have the cashout needed for the explanation. I wish that would be a setting to create a private match with all cashouts available.

[cosmic ether]

Because they are by nature two vastly different things. A nation's flag is all encompassing while in comparison a gay flag caters to one specific set of beliefs that will unfortunately always be tethered to political agendas regardless of what you yourself want it to be. It's a fallacy to examine it with the same lens- and frankly more inclusive keeping it out of games where irrelevant, especially if you were to consider other non national flags (maybe even ones that you disagree with) not getting met the same preferential treatment.

[leaden shell]

embark pls remove light stacking from the game 1 light on each team is more than enough to be annoying

[mossy crown]

It is incredibly dumb that the mines that you can place have an arming period before they can go off and hurt an enemy, but if I get unlucky enough to have an enemy shoot the mine the same frame it leaves my hand, then it explodes in my face before it's armed. This is not consistent and the mine should merely be destroyed if shot before arming

Idk why people think the BFR is over powered. It is not an easy weapon to use, and frankly, it probably has the highest skill ceiling next to the KS23. Lights are most guilty of this, while the SH1900 can 2 shot a heavy, the BFR can 2 shot a light. 1 headshot + body shot will 2 shot a light. I would go so far as to say that it has brough some much needed balance to the current state of things.

Nuclear nerf the titan. It never should've been added. Long range poke does not belong on heavy.

just wanted to say thank you for putting it in such a good way. people are surrounded by politics in one way or another, either fictional or real, but the snowflakes suddenly jump when they see a bunch of harmless flags that they themselves made about "politics". if these snowflakes wanted no politics in video games there would be no video games, well maybe excluding tetris lol.

either way pride flags would be a welcomed a addition by plenty of people ❤️

Can we please start punishing objective stallers? Power Shift and Quick Cash. I'm so tired of getting pitted against stacks that put the platform in power shift to the end and then spawncamp, or 3-stacks in quick cash that hide the cash box away from the players and camp on it the entire game for kills...

[woeful fractal]

no way!

please nerf lights

I think they should reset the cash box if its in one location for too long or not touched

has there been any talk on fixing the black nile project? paying $30 for it not to be useable with other upper body clothing is crazy

[fleet quiver]

collab with cyberjunk

[ionic crescent]

If you're arguing that the game is built around societal reflections and allegory, and using that as a justification to add non-national flags--then logically the same reasoning can be used for other divisive flags. It's literally an embodiment of "living in a glass house" since either flag has and is used for political activism. And when either side copes with talk of heritage or pride, they purposely refuse to acknowledge what either represents. This has nothing to do with the equating of pride flags with extremist flags, but rather to highlight the internal inconsistency.

Embark has managed to not take a specific stance on the "corpos vs civilians" theme already in the game. Why is it so important for them to take a stance on something that isn't even part of the game? Associating pushback with ignorance is ironically the most ignorant take.

[faint saddle]

This is a terrible idea holy shit

[hollow kelp]

the fact that u can play cyberpunk with high settings and get 120fps means nothing because the finals is very CPU heavy. I used to have a laptop 3070 and get similar frams so the gpu rlly doesn't matter that much. unfortunatly only upgrading ur cpu is gonna help.

[pallid flax]

some feedback on riot shield. the shields should have durability/armor and depletes as it's shot and has to repair itself like a reload for ammo on guns. you can still use the baton as you can with dagger/sword.

Add an esports channel please so we can discuss the matches!

[hard niche]

Hey, me and my friends loved warming up by doing 1v1v1 private matches, it was super cool and we would usually play Bank It, due to having a super short respawn time. however this gamemode got removed from custom matches (and probably the rest of the game).

it would be super epic to fine tune quick cash to have super short respawn/adjust games more finely, but an easier fix would be to restore the old game modes into Private Matches. this would be super cool if possible to revert the change.

Thanks Finals devs teams for constantly changing and improving around feedback, hope you can do this one too!!

[eternal ermine]

Fix yo servers thats all i ask although melee requires 0 skill its good to have a way for noobs to compete but if i teleport 9/10 games its unacceptable

[rugged temple]

Remove winch until rework (like you did to stun, which was way more tame and less of an issue than winch). Revert melee nerfs, nerf bfr's range and nerf 93r, buff/rework invis/grapple. Rework turret.

[verbal bane]

Dear Embark Team,

I have been hit with the "Can't fire main weapon" bug with the Repeater roughly ~20x in the last 2 days of gameplay.

It's happening at least twice every match for me now.

when will winch claw finally get its nerf

[slim sun]

Ia this game good

[bitter stone]

they nerfed it at the start of the season the changed the cool down times on it for certain actions and did other things I don't fully remember

[ripe flower]

They should never have added that fucking dog shit, I mean seriously nobody asked for it yet these fucking idiots decided “ye let’s add a garbage replay system” I mean they can’t really be that stupid can they? You get killed every 2 secs and they keep spamming you with a replay like who THE FUCK thought that would be even a REMOTELY decent idea, the developers have the intelligence of a wet pillow wtf.

[untold hazel]

just turn it off💔

[quick coyote]

for god sake fix your matchmaking!!!
why am I getting put against full party all the time when I play solo???
I will not buy anything in this game until it is fixed.

Idk why it has gotten so much worse in recent times.. this is exhausting

[compact marten]

the finals should rework the med's healing specialization to be favorable to choose. instead of steadily healing allies in slow pace which totally WON'T come in handy when your ally is low on hp and were on chokepoint. the healing should be instanious like h+infuser. not faster but instant. or the healing device should have second ability where right button makes the healing device streams heal really fast which causes overload it become a second shield. or make the healing device to be launchable to the ally which causes burst aoe heal in fast rate in the first seconds and the speed rate gets slower couple seconds later.

There’s nothing prioritising them, it’s just a natural consequence of the matchmaker trying to be fair. If you and some other players are matched closely in the pool of available players and you then play together, your rankings will move up and down together, keeping you close by - so since you both re-queue at the same time it is relatively likely that they will be matched up with you again, as there usually isn’t a huge pool of similarly performing players at any given time on a given mode in a given region.

But an option to temporarily not play with them again sounds harmless enough

[glacial geyser]

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 club jersey, hoodie, 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.

EMBARK.‼️ Can we please remove the grind for the basic colors you receive when leveling up your weapon. No new player is gonna wanna grind for the color white. Let alone be motivated too, I recommend you remove the basic blue, red, yellow, and white and replace the lvl 7 or 10 to a lvl 1. Considering it’s just not as cool as the lvl 6 or 9. PLEASE EMBARK it’ll do you some good In the long run 👍🏼

[burnt notch]

well thats ur opinion man, keep it off for all i care, but i do know that many people have asked for kill cams, and like i said before this is a very difficult feat for them and hating on this beta system is like hating on an alpha playtest of a game cuz of its bad quality. have a little faith in the devs

[lapis pelican]

That's definitely not the way they should do it but yeah the weapon mastery does need a rework

[fluid raptor]

Just turn replay off then?

[shadow elk]

I’m sorry, but I feel like this is just a big strawman argument you’ve made here. All this, to weave and slink around… not having a pride flag. If you wanna go that way, then we could apply the same thing to national flags aswell. The interpretation is a compromise that we make when adding flags.

But the risk and harm of adding the flag of a country (that may have a dirty history or present), is much more impactful than adding a flag that stands for kindness, humanity, and acceptance, and as such, I see no reason to push back against the flag unless you’re against that.

If you are, then we disagree, but I’m still gonna ask for Pride flags in-game even if you don’t want it, since they don’t actually hurt anyone. (If anything, the people who use them will take the most flak, but that’s something we accept)

As to why Embark should “take a stance” on something- adding pride flags is not taking any stance that they haven’t already made with their policies on their websites and the community guidelines. The Finals is full of allegory and societal commentary, and to say that they “haven’t made a stance” with the countless in-game examples of shady companies, sketchy business tactics, and the morality and ethics called into question during so many of the story beats… You’re either blind, or intentionally looking away.

And I know you said you weren’t trying to liken pride flags to extremist flags, but that is sort of the entire backbone of your argument here, so I am gonna point that out. I’m sure we can reach a majority consensus to tell apart flags that stand for evil versus ones that don’t. Sure, we could argue interpretations, but that, again, brings us back to ignorance, be it intentional or not, and that’s still not a good reason to bar the addition.

So, let’s add it for the good message it represents, and bite the bullet on whatever hoops people jump through to say it’s bad. Those people can close their eyes, play a different game, or simply not purchase.

[hearty bough]

There is already an option to turn it off in settings…

[coral seal]

embark please rework the new matchmaking, befor it was not quite right but now its actually atrocious. Stacks are supposed to play against other stacks fine but i still get solo qd into full stack lobbys and with a stack of just casual friends i get qued into lobbys full of diamond player stacks, would be fine if i wouldve qued for ranked but that shit happens in wt, its neither fun for me not for my casual friends to get obliterated by diamond stacks. I dont know if just so many good ranked players decided to play wt but its definetly getting annoying

Dear embark, since you are reworking thermalvision i want you to show my idea of a rework. My idea is following:
Similar to real thermalvision players are red-orange, everything else blue-grenn. Thermalvision still can detect invis players. Fire now messes the vision slightly up. You either cant see through smoke anymore at all or really bad (player within 3m you can see for example). To make it usefull it now can detect heatsignatures through walls, similar to reconsense. However using thermalvision reduces now the range of youe sight (heatsignature beyond certain distance goes lost). Not just the sight of your heatdetection, but your sight within thermal vision overall. This means, if you have free line of sight to something like a player, but he is out of your sightzone (just an example 12m) you cant see him at all. So beyond a certain distance you only see dark blue. This way thermalvision has a new usecase, smoketaktics get nerved or removed and the use of it has to be very catious and well considered. Of course additional adjustments to cooldowns could be made to balance the new usecase.

Hope you read this and consider my suggestion
(Sry if you are annoyed, that i posted it that often. Just wanted to make sure you see it)

[solid isle]

This is one of the best shooters I’ve ever played with the least competent balance team I’ve ever witnessed. This balance make Bungie’s PvP balance team look like geniuses.

remove your own skill issue maybe?

[dawn valve]

M11 is still too overtuned, not much just a little

Also the sniper-to-shotgun strat needs to be addressed

DB can one shot lights from way too far away

Also, Embark, what the FUCK are you doing. EVERY UPDATE DROPS ME 5-7 MORE FPS

[quick coyote]

I want everyones feedback on this to see if any of these are actually good takes.
Starting with light:
Decrease the charges on dash from 3 to 2.
slightly decrease the damage and or speed of the sword basic attack, increase the ttk against lights.
Add a reload to the bow.
Medium:
Change the blocking hitbox for dual swords, allowing hits to the leg to count as full damage and not reflecting; this would make crouching while blocking fully block damage and decreasing the ability to just walk up to people without a care in the world.
Add another charge to bot Breach drill and Data reshaper, this would increase viability and usage as basically no one is using them right now.
Heavy:
Increase the charge time for winch claw, and decrease damage done when winched.
Decreases the amount of things Dome shield can block, allowing grenades and melee weapons to pierce it.

[boreal wagon]

pretty sure this is new on the SH1900, one pellet is always randomly super far to the right and honestly that can be the make or break of a shot on this gun.. please tighten it up with th rest of them

bro thought he was tough with this one 🥶

"I peaked silver 4" type response

[wispy ivy]

please stop reading "winch nerf" and deciding a random 2 meter range nerf or a 4 second cooldown nerf is the right move

either remove the stun entirely or give it a wind up time, everything else is just a pointless nerf that makes it feel worse to use while not fixing any of the problems

[young hamlet]

Winch is in fact an issue
Glitch traps are fine though tbh

FIX MATCHMAKING

EVERY FK GAME IS 4vs5 (or even 3vs5) - AND NO ONE JOINGING BACK

this game would be improved if you removed winch and ||sniper|| change my mind

[terse slate]

This game would be improved if you would flag all sweaty players and put them in their own world.

pls Embark, add an option to review whole matches and let us watch it in the perspective of any player, actually spectate. it can help ppl improve and it is fun to revisit moments. saving some of them would also be neat.

[spice rapids]

i would be down to see this implemented, even if temporarily, because this could be really game changing

[winter magnet]

So this idea would be my dream as a solo player, and i hope one day this come to the game

It would be really nice if there was to options of matchmaking, but only for WT and ranked, an matchmaking mode where you choose what you going to play and what do you wanna matchmake with.
Example :
I decide to go heavy, and i select that i wanna matchmake with med and ligth, or i could choose go random, even that will make the time to find a match longer.

That would make game to solo player, 200% better, because, this randoms who thing this game is a call of duty, would stick on deathmatch and quick cash, leaving the WT and ranked, for the ones who really enjoy the game and play as meant to be played

[woven karma]

This is a lot to address, so why don't we try establishing what we can agree on?

I also think there are flags that shouldn't be in the game because I am not an idiot. I also think the country flag bundles are less prominent than other in game cosmetics. I also want to avoid explicit references to real world political ideologies in The Finals (at least in terms of cosmetics.) I also believe The Finals has enabled a lot of creativity in personalization and national identity adds to it.

I'm going to present a few statements, and I would like to know whether you feel the same:

1. The Finals' inclusion of national flags as cosmetic items is above and beyond the standard among its peers.
2. Nations and by extension the flags that represent them, can and have previously become a symbol of a political agenda following significant "nation defining" events.
3. National flags and LGBTQ flags were both irrelevent to The Finals prior to the July 4th bundle.
4. Being gay is not a choice.
5. Gay flags represent being gay first and foremost regardless of context or circumstance implying additional significance.
6. Statement 5 but for national flags.

Obviously you're free to respond as you like. I'm just curious.

[scenic forum]

Embark games... Please spend money on advertising! Maybe some youtube ads. If you're feeling really creative you can hang billboards in places from the game (like a wall in monaco), then put that same billboard in the game? You can do so much with the way the game is presented in-universe in terms of adverising. Take advantage of this, Embark!

Light Class (Vanish Bomb & Dual Specialisations)
As a dedicated Light main, I want to address a significant concern: Light is currently the only class in the game capable of actively using two specialisations simultaneously, and this creates a major pain point in terms of counterplay and overall class balance.

The issue stems from the combination of Dash and the Vanish Bomb gadget. Functionally, Vanish Bomb behaves almost identically to Cloak - granting full invisibility for 6 seconds, with a 12-second cooldown. In contrast, Cloak has a 12-second uptime (while moving) and takes roughly 12 seconds to fully recharge. This means Vanish Bomb effectively mirrors Cloak’s functionality, just with half the duration but the same downtime when compared over a full cycle.

While it is technically possible to Glitch a Light player out of invisibility, this is unreliable in real-time scenarios and doesn’t address the core issue: Light can stack Vanish Bomb with Dash, allowing them to close gaps, escape, or reposition extremely quickly-and then repeat the process if one invisibility fails with 3x Dash to reposition. This layering of mobility and invisibility is exceptionally hard to counter and shifts the class from agile to outright evasive and oppressive in certain matchups.

New Vanish Bomb Concept:

• Area-of-effect (AoE) invisibility field - activates a temporary cloaking zone where anyone inside (Light and teammates) becomes invisible.
• Remaining cloaked requires staying within the AoE radius, similar to a "smoke bubble" or "stealth field."
• Stepping outside the field immediately removes invisibility.
• Glitch and other counters become more viable, as opponents know where to focus their efforts.
• Still offers defensive utility: allows temporary escape, reload, or repositioning if enemies lose line-of-sight.

Currently, the Vanish Bomb gives too much freedom to disengage or re-engage with very little risk, when combined with Dash.

this game suffers from having multiple neon colored teams fighting against each other without the ability to edit ADS reticles.

give us the ability to spectate matches and bet an ingame currency on the winners. And consolidate equipment unlocks, battlepass progress buys, challenge rerolls, adlnd legacy tokens into a single currency that is used in this spectating mode for betting

Guys, I think there are plenty of people who have OLED or other types of monitors that support HDR.
Can you please add HDR hardware acceleration to the game?
Because right now HDR can only be turned on with Nvidia GPUs through the Nvidia Overlay.
But this is AI HDR, which doesn’t provide true HDR — it’s only AI-generated locally on the GPU.
That means the GPU is processing an additional AI workload in real time, which, btw, decreases its potential FPS by 10–15%. That’s just sad :(
I hope my feedback will be read and accepted :)
Thanks!

[sick tapir]

WTF Embark, can you stop assisting the Heavy like you do, it’s ridiculous. The Heavy literally has the strongest arsenal with the most options. The nerf to the Chain is not exist it shouldn’t even be able to stun. The nerf to the Dematerializer makes it definitely useless. Nobody plays the Turret because it’s simply not fun, it’s as simple as that.

Classes aren’t meant to do one thing only… having healing lights and destruction on medium is fine as long as they’re tuned properly (as they are)

All of the stuff you pointed out makes perfect sense to be on the class it’s on. What would be the point in making a loadout if it just plays the same as any other loadout for the same class?

This ideology would make the game incredibly boring.

This game really isn’t that unbalanced and everything besides gamemode specific issues can be fixed with number tweaks

Please get out of the kitchen lil bro

[woven sky]

can please just refund all the mmr you lose for not having a third teamate

[coral turtle]

just remove all blades, swords, ect just keep the weapons you guys are killing the fun

[pulsar jay]

dash 100% pickrate (minus the one guy with cloak) is the hidden worst offender imo, i dont see why the patch that hits both med and heavy's most picked ability doesnt hit light's with an even higher pickrate than the other 2

[old cairn]

buff the radius to ping an enemy/danger, you dont know how dumb i lpok tryna point out someone and i just keep saying "I'm going here!"

[ruby sand]

you can quickly double press the ping keybind and it will mark danger

[hollow kelp]

smoke grenades are the most low skill bullshit thing that has ever existed in this game. @full sierra exactly, one team is only getting through cuz they're actively targeting the better teams by stealing with smokes and goo and there is absolutely no counter to it.

[full sierra]

please take smokes out of the game it's actively ruining your major rn

[agile harbor]

Bring term back

[safe ravine]

Man I've taken a break from the game for a SHORT while. And when I comeback, it just is painful and unfun. The sweatiness is as high as it could be.
Not that the game is bad, I LOVE IT and prob will never stop playing it, it is THAT good.
But the lack of players after a fresh beginning of a season is kinda sad. Always the SWEATS (even in QC)

Please Embark get us a little bit of more social interactible options in this game. Map creator, customizable homebase for clubs, community maps/gamemodes, more LTE that doesn't involve killing (that way, skill gaps arent that noticable and/or frustrating)... Would be awesome

[rugged ginkgo]

I may or may not have become a flamethrower main

[shadow elk]

You realize people also disagree with you too? Like… I agree the meta shakeup is something important, but you lay these out like you’re the guy who knows it all. I disagree with a lot of what you said because I’m in favor of chaos and variety, it’s what makes this game good. Your ideal classes to move things to feel very restrictive and would make everything same-y-er, and I really don’t like that idea.

[dire scaffold]

Server lag is so insane rn.

[coarse scroll]

[round goblet]

Is this is your way of protecting newbies in matchmaking? Bro I got 2x newbie in my team getting demolished vs a 3 stack that abuse the cheese out of loadouts?? Hello you literally said SoloQ vs Stacks are separate now, apparently you guys lied. No wonder newbies leave negative reviews in steam, they cant even chill when starting out. WT/QC/PowerShift its all the same B*S matchmaking

[sour oak]

EMBARK.‼️ Can we please remove the grind for the basic colors you receive when leveling up your weapon. No new player is gonna wanna grind for the color white. Let alone be motivated too, I recommend you remove the basic blue, red, yellow, and white and replace the lvl 7 or 10 to a lvl 1. Considering it’s just not as cool as the lvl 6 or 9. PLEASE EMBARK it’ll do you some good In the long run 👍🏼

[pure glade]

Would it be possible to have a full auto option for the famas? Not like actual full auto but holding right click will shoot bursts at the normal rate of fire that tap fire will, just as an option

[glacial salmon]

What the fuck were you thinking about the Heavy revolver

[hasty temple]

Remove all classes but mediums and remove melee. You known what? Just keep fcar and akm i HATE having to think or adapt i want my game to be a one linear play style souless

[onyx rivet]

probably similar logic to the double barrel for light, mixed with wanting an actual ranged weapon for heavy (hence nerfs to lewis and deagle)

[past viper]

Embark - playing ranked, and two times in matches we had people quit or be AFK the whole time. When this happens, we shouldnt be penalized due to other people. That seriously needs to be resolved.

[quick coyote]

Do something about doubling the last cashbox.

It just allows whoever team is in first place to grief the best team out and let in the worst team for free, it has too much value and invalidates the rest of efforts done in the match, with the first place team being free to do anything and not worry about being disqualified in almost every case.

Could do something like:
A.- Add a 'Cash limit'' in that double so it doesn't exceed a certain amount of cash.
B.- Make the last cashout stations unable to be doubled.
C.- Make so you have interact for a certain amount of time if you wanna double an objective, so if someone has an objective they can deny a double.

I don't have more ideas but something should be done about this.

[royal jewel]

I think you have a very surface level way of determining what "makes sense". Embark has been intentionally trying to move medium away from the dedicated "healer" role, because their philosophy is that you are supposed to make your own class; viewing finals as a game with 3 classes that each have distinct roles is a massive misunderstanding of the developer's intentions. They are called Light, Medium, Heavy for a reason. If they wanted to do what you want to do, they would've been named Flanker Healer Fortifier.

[snow peak]

can somebody explain to me why flamethrowers are so godly when used against me, but i can’t seem to do any damage when i use it

[pallid flax]

i have some feedback i think everyone would want. we can change weapons in practice range but not sights. i'd like to swap sights in practice range to see what i like on each weapon but we don't have this option. please add this in the practice range. thank you.

[mossy crown]

World Tour should have discrete skillbased matchmaking. Don't let people see their level like ranked, but keep the lobbies balanced. If someone wants to sweat and stomp new players, let them do it in quickplay. I'm tired of seeing new players in lobbies with my friends and I, who have several hundered hours in the game, then quit out early because they drop zero kills and are still learning

[pearl mica]

<<<<<<<<give us a rank above emerald 1 (emerald mastery) reward would be an emerald token which can be used to purchase a emerald skin u missed from prior season PLEEEEEEAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEE i missed the ak and the flamethrower >>>>>>>>>>>>>> also the ability to change optics in the practice range, a whisper function to text friends who r in a match, we also need loss prevention in ranked so many people grief and disconnect on purpose I've lost almost 10,000 rank points this season from teammates leaving and 2 v 3s are extremely hard to win especially when they know there is a man down apex does it please add this quality of life.... im also sick of getting allies that got the game a week ago when i have 1300 hours in the game. We also need a badge that says how many times you have reached emerald beause we cant display more than 3 badges. Embark we love you guys best fps ive ever played besides black ops 2 me and my wife have hundreds of hours of memories in this game keep up the good work!!!!!!! XOXOXOXOXOX

[cosmic ether]

Keeping this within the framework of game feedback I will say this; It's really not that uncommon to see the implementation of national flags in e-sports titles and I frankly do see it a a fair addition in that regard; gay flags..not so much. Prior to the majors, yes I could see how one would find the addition a bit random. Still we can split hairs on the semantics but they are not the same thing and you know that.

[quick coyote]

Incredible I agree

PLEASE ADD EXPLOSIVE DAMAGE WHEN SHOOTING AT FLAMETHROWER TANKS

[narrow belfry]

This is absolute garbage loosing fights bc I’m lagging and stuttering, p90 is absolute trash idk why you even added that gun when it does even less damage up close then the M11 at range and then just bc my team is who we have to fight everyone in th fkn lobby to win bc no one wants us is back to back 3rd due to absolute horrible spawns that for some reason never gets worked on or fixed

[copper anvil]

[shadow nebula]

If you played your own game. Half the issues would be fixed. Instead you don’t play your own game and your player base leaves.

[quasi apex]

Please let us edit the scopes and have the scopes stay steady in game, this is meant to be a futuristic game,, there is no reason why I shouldnt be able to make a scope look like my crosshair and stay steady in the middle of the screen. (obviously with camera recoil that I have to work against. but not gun recoil). The moving crosshair triggers my motion sickness at times, so much so that I can only play 1 or 2 world tour then get off the game.

Yup, went ahead with a pro circuit when the game is in an awful state

[west skiff]

Please make a Forge-style mode where players can build custom levels and modes and share them on a gallery!

Players could make some of the most incredible stuff and share it, and it could expose entire new audiences to the Finals who might otherwise not have seen it or been interested. Being able to create custom levels and modes is - at least to me - a way to nearly-guarantee a long and healthy future especially given the game is already pretty well-loved and popular. Making custom levels to play with my friends is one of my most beloved experiences with like, 6th and 7th-gen games like timesplitters and halo.

This game is already a beautifully self-expressive experience, and this would elevate that to levels maybe never seen in FPS games! a lot of people would play nothing but the forge mode for creative reasons, a lot more people would dabble in it and make some cool stuff to share, it's a huge powerhouse for social media virality! Embark could also use custom creations in a unique quickplay playlist to showcase the best maps of a given time period, further engaging the playerbase and providing fresh experiences (not that this game ever gets stale 😋)

The Finals already feels like the Trackmania or Tony Hawk's Pro Skater of the FPS industry, and those games are famous in part for their level editors. To me it feels like a natural fit for The Finals. I don't expect something as detailed as Fortnite's creative or Halo Infinite's forge, but something like THPS or portal 2 or timesplitters 3 would allow for incredible work!

[somber zephyr]

Playercard Additions:

-Wins, Eliminations, Revives statistics should be swappable with other stats (Cash Earned, Assists, K/D, etc.).

-More default colors for backgrounds (we only have red, yellow white). We should have way more (blue, purple, green, etc.).

-Playercard "pose" option, instead of it being tied to your intro.

Balance Changes:

-(As a Winch Claw main currently) Winch should not go through mesh shields tbh. That change could potentially shake up Heavy's Specialization meta in higher levels (along with my Charge & Slam suggestion), because it'll still be good, but have actual counters rather than just staying far away (which is difficult at higher levels against coordinated teams).

-Charge & Slam should at least get a bit of its damage back. Maybe just do 100 or 115 damage per hit, because the weaker damage for every follow-up hit is too weak and too risky for the little reward you get. I want Charge & Slam back to its former glory, it used to be my main lmao.

-Defibbed teammates during their "revive" animation should be able to be shot down. The defib would still be powerful with this change imo, but it'll drag out fights less and further encourage defibbing in a safe spot.

-Frag Grenade should get its second charge back tbh.
-(Pyro and Gas grenade should arguably get two charges as well.)

-Breach drill should have a way larger explosion. It'll still be not-that-good tbh but it'll at least make it a little better.

[fading cobalt]

Hey Embark, I know you think destruction causing dust/smoke is cool, but remove it. It's dogshit from a player perspective.

[stray wing]

I would like to see a buff to mgl32, maybe make direct hits on opponet explode, while still making the projectiles bounce on normal surfaces. And maybe remove the timer until the shells explode or make it longer. This way you are not completely defenceless if someone is slightly above you.

On an other topic, awesome game, dont know why some people are complaining. And i quite like to watch the esport

[narrow spade]

They should make vaults less maneuverable and harder to plug.

A couple of possibilities for this:
A. Disable being able to grapple/dash with a vault
B. Make vaults heavier so that you can't throw them as far. You could even make it so as a vault becomes worth more, the vault actually becomes heavier
C. Make it so vaults take some amount of time to actually plug. This could be done by requiring an interaction to plug, an interaction to activate a cashout, or the vault could move into the cashbox slower and it could be grabbed during that time. Personally I like the idea of vaults being plugged into cashouts but needing a secondary interaction to start the cashout and begin the timer. When it comes to doubles, this would require that interaction for the extra cash to actually activate. Kinda like needing to "steal" your own cashout before you get the money.

[wide hazel]

thanks to all the min maxing players who are ruining game i cant wait til this game dies off again ,used to be fun to play now 1 or 2 players will ruin it for everyone

Quick Cash 5v5.

@plush robin , It's not quick cash what..

[plush robin]

this was terminal attack and it was removed

[indigo quartz]

The skill based match making is so embarrassingly bad I can't keep playing games against emerald player that 3 stack and in the same round be put with people who are having their 4th game

[strong canyon]

you just replied to a message I sent LAST YEAR

[wispy ivy]

i played so much terminal it was not 5v5 quick cash, the entire game mode was built on restrictions that actively went against what made cashout fun

@naive narwhal tell that to the guy i replied to?

[odd escarp]

There isn't sbmm... Emeralds are based on amount of world tour played... Not indicative of actual skill

[naive narwhal]

Almost like it's not trying to be quick cash and is it's own thing

[novel trench]

I understand this may be shocking to learn, but Emerald is not an indicator of skill. It’s just a time commitment. You’ve decided you’re beaten before you even get into the fight, work on your mental and proceed to succeed.

[cold bolt]

bronze players can get emerald it's not an elo system lol it's a progress bar

[modern pelican]

Finally someone said it

[fallen mirage]

Is anyone else noticing kills/assists not being registered?

[glacial siren]

im not a Demat user but would you consider a good buff if rematerializing a wall you just dematerialized doesnt consum the second Demat charge?

[leaden tangle]

The problem with meta and major tournament is about people just go for the safe and strong. My respects to every player who not used meta, like Gooblins and their Heavy Goo Gun. I think this game is full of many strategies to exploit but easy way always is better. So maybe Embark could do a balance in meta to focus in a diversity of weapons and specialization. Is so boring to see every player using same loadout, it's so cool watch AKM players, Sledgehammer and LH1 to break the confort with practice or good weapons. I really want to see in future tournaments more teams using other team compositions. Heavy+Heavy+Heavy is too strong in attack and defense, but speed is so bad, so if one team practice with new composition, would be amazing to make more chaotic show; Imagine it, Two Healers and One Heavy fighting for a long time with cloak and dahs lights and their demat medium. Using their own strategy. I'm really proud of the Major, but is so sad to see copy/paste loadouts (a SA1216 simulator), and wait for the first team who fail in front of enemy teams.

From a competitive y casual player, with love

[daring remnant]

cl40, flamethrower and double barrel are still not fun to fight. to differing levels of course. i can buy double barrel being kind of skill based but cl40 and flamethrower are too easy to use for how powerful they can be. cl40 does what, 100 on a direct hit, and has good splash, so two hits drops a light easy.

[hearty lodge]

Buff dagger

[tough sapphire]

Buff to flamethrower: exponential damage when on fire and receiving damage from flamethrower.

This will force Heavy to close distance and use environment to their advantage (even though most maps are now only made for long-distance fights).

Increase its range back to 10 meters: same range as open beta, it’s pretty much the only thing it hasn’t gotten back. Increase overall DPS by 10: this will still leave it doing much less damage than most weapons, but at least it will be killing a Medium faster than 3 seconds.

This will also force a change in strategy with other weapons for different classes by making Heavy with flame oppressive (going in close range to get a kill against flamethrower and getting it .. is kinda dumb). Also will make the flamethrower a fun weapon to play with for new players and old too.

Idk how people in the community feels towards flamethrower so plz tell me if anyone thinks these are dumbs suggestions. Idk maybe if too strong make it have like 20-25 ammo

AND PLZ FIX THE HITBOX !!

For Embark : If those two "buffs" are to strong then add only one out of the two suggestions.

[hybrid silo]

The major perfectly showcased how nonsensical and boring cashout really is for esports. I watched 2 matches and during these I could hardly believe I was watching the top players of this game. Basically every single team was on the same cashout like they were playing quick cash so you would expect many kills and team wipes right? Sadly everyone was too afraid of fighting and instead just stood around waiting for something to happen and if someone shot at them they ran around the cashout instead of fighting. Players only attempted to steal once there were 27 goo nades thrown around the station with smoke covering everything just hoping they can steal it while killing absolutely nobody. To be fair the chat seemed to enjoy this so I guess the problem is with me but is this really enough for esports? Absolutely no engagement from anyone and when there is barely enough time to steal everyone jumps into the smoke and “let’s see what happens”, like really? I sincerely hope something happened during the rest of the matches because if every game was like this then that is embarrassing but the chat liked it so I guess it’s on me that I feel like this.

[torn canyon]

I highly encourage you to watch all of the matches. Some of the most amazing games I've ever seen were played towards the end of the NA bracket.

[vital basin]

FIX SLEDGE HITREG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COMPLETELY UNUSABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seriously guys cmon where is it

[tawny oak]

fix the servers, why do some players deal proper damage and i dont, i use the same guna nd my gun is nerfed by 25% it take smore bullets ot kill but i die instantly, how is it posisble that someone can wipe out 2 heavies with an fscar but mine doesnt even take out 50% of their health,

FIX THE FUCKING SERVERS AND MAKE THE GAME MORE CONSISTENT

[thin hinge]

• Custom reticles (for example, i like the standard sight for P90 but I wish I could change the chevron for just a dot)
• Ability to change sights in practice range and try them out
• Customisation of player cards for different classes created (I don't want to have the same border or background in my light and in my medium or heavy)
• When we are making an outfit, I wish we could save also emotes, sounds, sprays, etc, and also create player card. This way, every time I go into a match I can change outfits and I will have the proper emotes and player card customised for that outfit.
• In Contestants, being able to name the classes we created instead of being Light 1, Light 2, Medium 1, Medium 2, Heavy 1, Heavy 2, etc.
• In settings, add a setting to mute/disable the in-game chat

For private matches I have two suggestions:

• solo private match. Specially to try some mechanics alone and practice them.
• I usually create private matches with friends not to fight but to learn and teach mechanics. Today I was teaching something to a friend and I couldn’t explain very well because we didn’t have the cashout needed for the explanation. I wish that would be a setting to create a private match with all cashouts available.
• Like I mentioned before, I mainly use private matches to try mechs, learn and teach them with friends across all maps. For example, since I try stuff across all maps, instead of going back to the main menu, leaving the lobby and disconnecting from the server, would be cool to give commands to the player that created the lobby - for example, “/map Kyoto” to send whoever is in the private matches to Kyoto or any other map. This makes things easier and faster specially when you are learning or teaching.
• If we could switch gadgets between the “match”, instead of die on purpose to switch to the ones we want.

Of course, some of the suggestions for the private matches don’t apply to people that use it to fight. This is only for learning/teaching mechs.

Delete from game riot shield as long as when you shoot in body it register as a shield

Nerf heavy spec. for grabbing people(I forgot its name) as long as you can’t shoot while this and its literally free kill

[sterile canopy]

It doesn’t. It is very rare to have hit registration issues on hitscan guns, there is seriously nothing going on here but an aim difference. Two full HP heavies with one FCAR mag is seriously impressive though, it’s unlikely you’d see someone do that legitimately.

[hollow kelp]

some of the 3v3s were rlly good but the cashout rounds were a shit show. bacically all the bad teams were purposely greifing out the best teams by doubling every box. then stealing with smoke and goo cuz there is no counter as they removed thermal a few weeks prior. so now some of the most skilless teams who would get destroyed in a fair 3v3 are going to LAN and taking the place of some really talented teams. its embarrassing

[strong canyon]

that message was sent at a time when there was absolutely 0 activity in OCE for WT or Ranked. Thanks to the community and I's effort we now have a very active OCE community discord and we queue rush WT every night to find games.

Main problem with WT in OCE is that there is a cycle of

People don't queue world tour
Everyone thinks it's dead
They don't queue world tour
World tour is actually dead

so that is why I suggested just forcing people to queue world tour for a week or something so that the whole OCE community gets a chance to play that mode and potentially continue queuing it regularly when quickplay is added back. It's unconventional but we need SOMETHING to help defib the actual main gamemodes

Rare big L from Embark

Sweden is one of the countries that helps Ukraine the most. Daniel Ek from Spotify put money into Helsing, Klarna co-founder gave millions for refugees, lots of Swedish companies and people step up against Russian aggression. And then Embark decides to add Russian localization in 2025. Really???

I'm Russian, and none of us needed this. All my friends and most people here understand English in games just fine. I don't support Putin's regime and as someone who supports Ukraine, this feels like a betrayal from Embark. Sure, I like being able to play my favorite fps in Russian, but not like this. We have many talented voice actors and AI sound engineers - adding Scotty and June and other localized sounds would be so cool, but only after the war is over and Russia is no longer one of the worst countries when it comes to human rights. Would've been so much better if Embark waited until Putin's regime is gone

Ukrainians and many other nationalities also speak Russian, but that doesn't mean it had to be added now while the war's still going and people are getting bombed daily. The reason so many outside Russia speak Russian is because it was forced on them historically, not because they chose it

And for all "it's just a language, not all Russians are bad". Duh, obviously. But the choice still matters. Ukrainian isn't in the game. Tons of other popular languages are not in the game. And Russian gets priority?? That feels way more like picking a side than actual accessibility.
Games aren't beyond politics. Adding Russian in 2025 is a political move whether Embark meant it or not. It just feels wrong

[untold hazel]

servers soo worse it feels like its blast off

[unique pasture]

there need to be spawn changes. at this point in the game it is not worth it to teamwipe when opening a vault, because you cannot get to the cashbox before the wiped team gets there, this is a problem, the team doing the teamwipe should be more rewarded in early game for doing so.

[safe ravine]

Consider working on something like this Embark !!! PLEASE
I have 1000+h into this game, it would be (atleast) doubled if we had something like that!! As a bow and tknives fanatic, building my own little medieval map would be bonkers!!
Build a small Mines of Moria like in TLotR OMG

AND/OR consider giving us a customizable homebase option, so the club doesn'T feel as useless. It's good, but there's so many aspects on the social side that can be improved ❤️ Much love Embark

Very much enjoying the new play style the P90 brings to the Medium class. A Medium run n' gun has given the game a new lease of life for me. Balance wise, I think it's in a pretty good place, thoughts?

A new heavy gun that can damage people stuck in goo would be nice

[karmic sable]

I understand this may be shocking to learn but you are wrong. I only have 2 seasons since wt launched where I didn't get emerald1. Both times are because I didn't win enough matches to get there. If you aren't winning you aren't getting em1. I think you get a point or 2 for losing but unless somebody can play 7days a week, all day & into the night... You aren't gonna make it happen by losing. People have been saying that emerald is just a time thing this whole time & they've been wrong this whole time. Try getting em1 as a solo q, never comms & then tell me it takes no skill. Carrying 2 randoms that just started this week, without comms, to a win... consistently to em1, should get you a trophy IRL. It takes skill.

[hallow turret]

ive got emerald 1 for 3 straight seasons playing soloq exclusively with text chat and voice chat disabled, and in 2 of those seasons the grind for it was longer & tougher since you needed more points and you got less, and you didnt get any points at all if you didnt win the first round
it does not require any skill, it only requires time

For the medium revolver: sometimes a shot doesn't make a sound, and many times the shot registration is completely absent. I was shooting at a nearly stationary target, and out of 12 bullets, only 2 did damage.

@hearty lodge no thanks ❤️

[spice rapids]

Remove world tour and do ranked only. Cashout as a gamemode needs some sort of SBMM, and the grind to do both emerald and ruby is impossible.

All quickplay modes should have zero ssbm, but far to many noobs get stomped in world tour and then blame the matchmaker, not knowing there is currently zero sbmm in WT.

rule sets can be talked about ans refined later, but this would also make que times faster having one less tournament mode, and having all players in one mode would allow for better sbmm

[frozen tree]

I’m sorry, but you complain about things like infuser being on light and P90 being on medium because they “don’t fit the class” and yet you complain about sword being on light because because you think medium should get the movement melee, and not the movement class? At least try to be consistent.

I think that things like sword and dual blades being part of well defined class structures (sword being movement based on the movement class and both dual blades and riot shield serve as defensive melee options for medium) makes sense, yet I also believe that the recent additions giving each class more flexibility without invalidating other class’ viability. Sure, H+ has insane burst healing, but with the recent buffs heal beam is the best, most consistent, healing option. Breach drill is fine on medium, it gives them destruction yet is a joke compared to RPG, C4, Charge N Slam, etc. Gravity vortex gives lights some control over opponents and objects, but it’ll never surpass winch or even anti gravity cube.

Giving classes overlap isn’t making the game worse, giving one class a better option for something another class was supposed to do (H+ and heal beam were a prime example) is making balance worse. I don’t think anyone complains about medium taking light’s sonar and glitch role with motion sensor and glitch trap- because they’re less versatile options.

[covert adder]

Hi if any finals Devs are on, I have made a soundtrack for your game do you want to listen to it? Devs only pls

[neat zealot]

have the devs ever discussed whether they're interested in adding staged/segmented reloads or not?

[zealous otter]

ok i just realized this game needs an inbox for private messages sent when people are offline (wow i didnt realize 6 hours slow mode lol)

Please add an SR-84 skin that is made of bones and call it the "Skeletal Sniper". Thanks.

[hard magnet]

Remove the stun from winch claw, its abhorent that you can deal up to 75 damage for absolutely free if hit by it, the rest can be kept the same to monitor it for future balance but god just remove the stun that prevents shooting

[shy token]

Tac vests should be a crossbody customization

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 club jersey, hoodie, 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.

[nova osprey]

what if we get thsoe fireball robots as a gadget in the finals
and arc raiders gets moolah plushes as a new item

[woven compass]

The new goo skin animation is too simple. It only talks, I was expecting something fun to inspect for 900 bucks. Feels like being ripped off for an "ultra" premium product.

[signal basin]

Season 8 :

Share with us the Light data to compare with the other class. Like you did once. I dare you to do that again Embark.

Two MAJORS problems in this game. BALANCE and SERVERS.

Playing soloQ in WT right now is horrible. Matchmaking is worst than before. I'm match with no brains players rushing for kills. And still fighting against 3stack team when I'm SoloQ
More than the worst move you ever did to put K/D at the end of your game.

** General feedback **

• When we press ESC, we should LEAVE the weapons menu in quick playmode.
• ESC should not open the menu when we just want CANCEL THE REPLAY
• The new end game page is useless and let think K/D matter. Delete it. Objective only matter
• Let us type during the replay. The screen replay is to slow. Just launch the replay !
• In WT, objective score should give you more point at the end of a game
• ** Add "Assist count as kill", if you do more than 50% of damage on an ennemy.**
• 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 **
• Stop cancel our report between to loading please!
• Let us choose our sight weapons at the beginning of a game
• 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.
• Nvidia records don't go anymore in "The Finals" folder but in " Discovery"

**⚖️ Balance ⚖️ **

• Obviously, P90 and BFR Titan are OP. Nerf them
• Nerf CL40. For REAL this time
• Revert XP54 to 17 dmg. What's the point of putting XP at 16dmg when M11 do the same dmg, 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 by the electricity. 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.
• 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. EDIT: EVEN MORE WITH THE BFR TITAN
• Rework the ARN into a real AR ? Slower RPM but much more DMG. Something like the FCAR for example.

** 🛜 Servers problems 🛜 **

• **Improve your netcode/tickrate ! Dying behind cover is not acceptable at all ! **
• 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 = Free death behind wall, door, ect...
• Give us an API to check some stats.

PS: Ping me as much as you want. I don't care. A lot things I suggest before as been implement.

[zealous mural]

why the fk lockbolt has infinite healt? 3 bullets from BFG and it's still alive. that is such a BS, it should break from 1 max

[rotund oxide]

But I love a tournament with fun wacky stuff. MarioKart style uncompetitiveness keeps it fresh.

[cunning tangle]

melee weapons need a nerf argue with a wall

[lament sable]

KEYBOARD AND MOUSE HAVE NO PLACE IN CONSOLE ONLY LOBBYS HOW IS THAT FAIR

[dawn valve]

You game loads and plays like total ass, is the word optimize not in Embark's vocabulary?

I'm on lowest settings running at 20-50 variable fps, and it is 100% not my PC

[faint saddle]

1 sledge and 1 sword in major btw
PS: they lost

[royal jewel]

PLEASE improve the block functions in the game. Replace the ability to exit vc with the ability to mute specific players INCLUDING their text chat WITHOUT informing that player that they are muted. Make blocking ACTUALLY do something, like make the game stop matching you with the player. Also, toxicity from 2 stacks needs to be more heavily punished than toxicityt from solos, because a situation where one players is alone and the rest of the team knows eachother is a breeding ground for toxicity. This has been observed in almost every other competitive game.

[deep crest]

Remove sword and dagger

[sharp estuary]

Optimize the game

[charred rover]

Embark, can you drop the OSTs on bandcamp or qobuz so I can buy them?

Pros:

• Money for embark
• I stop giving streaming services money
• I can jam offline, or in the woods even

Cons:

• none

Also:

Please bring back abandoned game modes, in private matches.

Heavy hitters is sorely missed 🥺

[dark niche]

i dont see why bank it & TA cant be played in private matches. i get they werent very popular & so they were removed from quickplay, but why private matches?

[spare ravine]

xD, two of the most underrated and yet difficult to use due to 50/50 hitreg, yes lets remove them

[split cairn]

New player here, LVL 14.

The current new player experience is being severely undermined by the matchmaking system. As a brand new player (account level 14), I am consistently placed in matches against premade teams of players who are level 90 and above. This creates an overwhelmingly one sided experience where there is no opportunity to learn game mechanics or contribute meaningfully to the match. This issue persists in both standard and quickplay modes. A system that routinely matches new players against veterans is a significant barrier to entry. This has to be the most brutal onboarding experience I've had in a game..I urge the development team to review the matchmaking parameters to ensure new players can have a fair and gradual onboarding experience. because i am genuinely demoralized.

[vernal girder]

You've just started playing a game with a relatively fixed population and players with two more years of experience than yourself. There's going to be a steep learning curve no matter what. SBMM can't save you.

[sterile canopy]

because this means they still need to test them like any other gamemode, which slows down the rate of content we could get a bit. I guess they decided they just woulnd't be popular enough

[grave bane]

Im not sure how many of the devs worked on BF4 or Battlefront but 1 dlc i especially loved was Zavod 311 Graveyward Shift. (For those that don't know, it was a night variant of the map Zavod 311). I enjoyed the enveloping darkness; how the lights and lasers could mean either life or death. It became a pseudo horror game. The other being the night ewok map. If you havent seen the trend with this yet, I'd want a night map, a true night map. A map where only the arena lights and few others light the map. Where the cashout acts as a lighthouse and a mousetrap. Imagine slipping, dodging, and weaving between buildings and crevices as explosions light up the night. I think it'd be cool

[hollow kelp]

go play overwatch. this game is not a hero shooter.

[wispy plank]

EMBARK MAKE AN ESPORTS SURVEY SO WE CAN GIVE FEEDBACK

[full scarab]

Plead: Please, make sure Arc Raiders launches with gyro aim support on PS5. Think of us disabled gamers. 🙏

[upper lynx]

I would really like to see a "People's Champion" skin for the sledgehammer, entirely up to Ruby Labubu

[devout solar]

Yes. +1

[glossy shard]

I don't think the current matchmaking algorithm takes certain aspects of the game into account. First, such an algorithm should be designed to make teams as balanced as possible, and that's currently impossible. I play alone most of the time and always end up playing against teams made up of parties, which is a guaranteed loss. I've gotten into the habit of abandoning as soon as I realize I'm playing against a team made up of parties. Do you have a lot of abandons during matches? When I play in parties with other friends, however, we usually win, so I think what I'm saying is true: teams are almost always unbalanced. So, why not create lobbies just for parties? In the long run, for someone like me who plays alone most of the time, it gets boring! So, I was wondering if you've ever considered, or will ever consider, the idea of ​​party-only lobbies. Another aspect to consider for the matchmaking algorithm is knowing which parameters it takes into account when creating teams: just the player's KDR or other player parameters? Or a combination of different parameters? The more parameters are considered, the more difficult it becomes to make teams balanced. Finally, I wanted to ask you: what criteria did you use to choose a 30-second respawn time after death?!? Doesn't that seem excessive? Just think of new players who die constantly and spend most of their game time waiting; it gets boring. I hope someone on the staff can answer me. In any case, thanks for your attention.
PS: Okay, that's a joke. I'd like to know how the "The Finals" team manages to read the volume of messages that are constantly being written!!! I think my experience with "The Finals" ends here.

[dull tiger]

Bro what is that take on sword 😭

[fading yoke]

Last season was pretty much perfect considering meta. Only pike (and winch) felt OP. People played MHL. This season however is nothing but frustration because:

• Nerf Winch. These nerfs did nothing to fix the core issue being the stun + it pulling people from behind walls and geometry. Also winch shouldn't pull people when you miss the initial hook, the hook coming back to you shouldn't grab people.

• BFR Titan is too strong. It has only a few damage less than the ACTUAL SNIPER RIFLE while being hitscan for every range and the supposedly "bad" reload is still better reload than Model has on M. What the hell are you thinking with this weapon? This gun + winch makes playing L so frustrating. Only way to live is to play dash which is reflected in what pro teams pick in majors. 100% dash pickrate. Meta still completely revolves around winch which you still haven't addressed properly. Why does heavy get a better sniper rifle than L while having effectively 650hp due to dome shield? Do we have to just massively go in power shift and sit on rooftops with revolver for this weapon to be gutted like you did with sniper rifle?

• Healing has become extremely bloated. Every class has gotten heals and now healing beam was buffed further which has caused meta shift to everybody and their mothers playing DMR's and heavy hitting burst weapons. Sustained damage weapons like AKM and XP-54 have fallen off the cliff in how effective they are in this meta.

• It feels L has no place in this meta unless you play dash and ONLY dash with some hard hitting burst weapon. There is no place for example XP-54 because you get absolutely curbstomped by BFR Titan and Repeater.

• Meta has shifted to MMH and MHH and I even see often HHH teams because this new revolver + winch still hasn't been properly addressed. Even MMM has made a hard comeback due to the extremely bloated healing.

This meta is just awful compared to last season. It felt like you had so many options in S7.

[hardy stump]

Heavy has been weak in the meta for a long time. Let them have this. Also the XP-54 is one of the worst examples of weak Light weapons to give out because that thing was a NIGHTMARE before it was nerfed. Please stop considering meta in a game that can't balance itself to save its life.

[agile harbor]

Bring term back 🙏

[raw bobcat]

Make winch claw not be able to go through dome shield and mesh shield

[thorn gulch]

➕ cool that you added killcam
uncool that people that we now know definitly are cheating are still in the game 1 week after without beeing banned.

[kindred hull]

Embark run some ad campaigns for your game please

[zenith lava]

Another day asking to please put some actual work and effort on the matchmaking, this season is unbearable to play solo 🙏
Also please rework riot shield, even if it's weak against teamplay and relatively niche it completely sucks out the fun of every fight just by existing, if a weapon counter is "don't engage" then the weapon sucks ass and should not exist imo

[indigo gull]

day 3 of asking for flamethrower nerf and day 1 of asking for bank it to be back

[storm tide]

what is even the point in having melee that is weak in close range

[mossy crown]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. P.E.A.C.E Center is the worst map they have ever made and should just be removed.

[copper blaze]

Day one of asking for the flamethrower to stay as it is, or have it buffed.

[foggy fractal]

not sure if cosmetic things count as feedback but if the model which noone seems to use as much can have a sawed off skin where its totally re animated then can we get a spear skin that turns it into a very long chainsaw that we whip around like leatherface for the spin attack minus the wheezing hillbilly noises cuz that could get weird. i just like the weapon but its too elegant for my visual style. plus october is coming up sooooooo...

[pine frigate]

Add open toe shoes with nail polish options

[royal eagle]

It would be so nice if the Season 1 event cosmetic's sepia tone filter was an effect instead of needing to wear the clothes!

[prime junco]

game is still freezing with frame gen

[atomic narwhal]

I think the game needs some measure in place to prevent final round bullying in unbalanced matches. I’ve had many final rounds where the last head to head match is extremely one sided, but instead of cashing out like the mode intends, they camp the vault and just let the timer run dry after getting one cash out, just killing us and not playing the objective and wasting 10 minutes

[frail galleon]

Can we add the Palestine flag like you know the shirt one it would be really cool you know

[white anchor]

P90 recoil nerf

Ks23 104 damage as it only effects heavies.

Make the fat triangle pistol sight an arrow.

Dagger 180° angle buff.

A flare gun gadgets for light class that sticks to enemies and creates a trail with fiery sparkle particle effect and burn damage 20 in total.

Fast fanning revolver with 🔥incendiary bullets for light class but only in hipfire and slower precise shots when aiming.

[manic oak]

is it any chance of ever getting games without blaitant cheaters using wall hacks and aimbot. im so sick of this. have they given up banning people already or what ?

[little plaza]

Does anticheat check if cheaters are aiming at dead spectators? I was playing and had been killed and the enemy player was tracking and shooting at me as a spectator as I awaited a respawn.

[stuck sandal]

I really love that you guys added outfits, that's really nice. However, it'd be even better if emotes, intros, and expressions were bound to them as well. We are creating contestants, and so it's just kind of odd to throw my old holtow skin on a certain loadout but still have my ospuze intro from last season, ya know?

That's all, thanks for the hard work everyone puts in to make this a great game and community.❤️

[delicate marlin]

Buffing the switch and holster speed for the goo gun and sledge could be really fun

[hasty coral]

the devs should implement extending the timer if a player is stealing the cashout.. would make games much more interesting.

it would add some tension and stop it from just being a lost cause in the final moments after wiping a team

[primal axle]

Thank you for your addition! It's inspiring to see people like you.

Embark is making a huge stain on themselves. Not even from the perspective of Ukrаіnians or just a human being with a bit of compassion (but who cares if adding an additional language will attract more players to your game, increasing online numbers even from those who are bringing wаr to Europe, right, Embark)?

Literally right now, I can see news about "unknown" drones (might be just an alien invasion, not russіаn for sure) flying over Stockholm and many other European cities. Maybe now you will care just a tiny bit, when not some far Ukrаіnians but literally your country and other European nations are in danger from those you choose to support in your game, after 3.5 years of an аggression in Europe

I really love The Finals, and my Ukrаіnian buddies and I have played a hundreds matches together, but I feel ashamed playing it when seeing that you support those responsible for their suffеring

[robust seal]

Netcode:

• The tick rate feels like it's only 24 Hz—Please, please, PLEASE, for the love of all that is holy, at least DOUBLE it!!

Audio issues:

• I beg of you, Embark, fix the audio! It is unbelievably awful and is the worst I've experienced in any game (that's really saying something with my 5500+ hours in Apex).
  • It feels as though 95% of the time that an enemy approaches from directly behind me, there is absolutely ZERO audio that plays to alert me of their presence.
    • e.g. no footstep audio, even sprinting, no cloak sounds even while sprinting, etc.
  • My audio setup:
    • PC > GoXLR Mini (USB audio interface/DAC/amp) > Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro (250 Ω) headphones
    • Windows Settings > System > Sound > Volume mixer > The Finals > Output device > Game (TC-HELICON GoXLR Mini) (same output device that Dolby Atmos is enabled for and set to use)

Body Paint:

• Make Arm/Leg Paint separate Style cosmetic items for both left and right side (Left Arm Paint, Right Leg Paint, etc.) from Body Paint so we can combine leg and arm tattoos and even have one arm have one design while the other has a different design.

Maps:

• Add map voting.

Additions/improvements to QoL/UX of randomizations:

• Add randomizations for weapon:
  • charms
  • stickers
• Change randomizations of weapon:
  • skins
  • animations
• Deep Shuffle (added for just skins in Season 7) is garbage. Randomization of skins, charms, stickers, and animations should instead operate as follows:
  • Middle click (scroll wheel) on any skin, charm, sticker, and animation to mark the item as Favorite (Apex does this).
    • Add a Random Favorites button to charm, sticker, and animation categories (like how Deep Shuffle already exists for skins.
    • For the animations, the Random Favorites button should be the first (top) item in the list of each animation type (doesn't matter whether it says Random Favorites or just has the shuffle icon).
      • see image
    • With the exception of animations, the timing of when items marked as Favorite are randomized should be the same as how Deep Shuffle currently operates.
    • The timing of when animations are randomized should continue to operate how it does currently, i.e. each time an animation is actually triggered in-match.

TL;DR: Deep Shuffle =
The decision to implement a randomization feature that doesn't allow the exclusion of individually selected items from the pool of items that are randomly selected from seems about as useless as it is arbitrary.

Compatibility of non-default animations with weapon skins that come with any unique animations:

• Make animations that are "Not compatible" with certain weapons' skins to be compatible.
  • I bought the Holtow Fine Print skin for the AKM shortly after it was first available.
  • A week later, I bought the AKM Animation Bundle.
  • I didn't know beforehand that none of those animations would be compatible with the Holtow Fine Print skin.
  • This is absurd considering the fact that the only animation that's unique to the Holtow Fine Print skin is the Inspect animation.
  • The Deploy, Tactical Reload, and Empty Reload animations on the Holtow Fine Print skin are all just the AKM's default animations and are locked, preventing the usage of any other animations.
    • see video
  • The Lewis Gun Animations bundle used to be incompatible with the Mini Roulette skin but was updated some weeks or months after to allow the usage of those animations.
    • The same compatibility fix needs to be applied to all other weapons including the Holtow Fine Print skin for the AKM.
      

[pastel adder]

Im continuously getting kicked from my ranked game for “failed log in attempt” 😐

[placid lark]

Pls nerf no-scope sniper accuracy it's better than shotguns in close combat🤦‍♂️

[tawny cave]

So I need a career tab or legit anywhere to see my previous games. I actually thought this was already a thing and I was looking around for it and was surprised that it’s not
Also an all chat would be nice (I want to talk trash so bad it’s insane 😭)

[somber zephyr]

Balance Changes:

WINCH CLAW
(As a Winch Claw main currently) Winch should not go through mesh shields tbh. That change could potentially shake up Heavy's Specialization meta in higher levels (along with my Charge & Slam suggestion), because it'll still be good, but have actual counters rather than just staying far away (which is difficult at higher levels against coordinated teams).

CHARGE & SLAM
-Charge & Slam should at least get a bit of its damage back. Maybe just do 100 or 115 damage per hit, because the weaker damage for every follow-up hit is too weak and too risky for the little reward you get. I want Charge & Slam back to its former glory, it used to be my main lmao.

DEFIBRILLATOR
-Defibbed teammates during their "revive" animation should be able to be shot down. The defib would still be powerful with this change imo, but it'll drag out fights less and further encourage defibbing in a safe spot.

GRENADES
-Frag Grenade should get its second charge back tbh.
-(Pyro and Gas grenade should arguably get two charges as well.)

BREACH DRILL
-Breach drill should have a way larger explosion. It'll still be not-that-good tbh but it'll at least make it a little better.

Playercard Additions:

-Wins, Eliminations, Revives statistics should be swappable with other stats (Cash Earned, Assists, K/D, etc.).

-More default colors for backgrounds (we only have red, yellow white). We should have way more (blue, purple, green, etc.).

-Playercard "pose" option, instead of it being tied to your intro.

[sharp herald]

super cash ball standalone game when?

[rustic vault]

Yeah man it is tough but pretty much every player has to go through the meat grinder to learn the game, plus there are so many different playstyles that you probably have just not found what works for you yet, best thing to do is play with friends, join a new player friendly club with a discord, or try LFG.

Took me dying 4k more than I eliminated before I found my niche and reversed that, you’ve really got to be willing to get stomped on to improve at this game.

[dense igloo]

why cant you ban smurf accounts ?

[muted owl]

I really enjoyed seasons 6–7, but I don’t know what they’ve done this season, but it feels unplayable for me. The servers have always been a gamble, but this season it’s even worse, similar to how it felt back in seasons 5–6.

On top of that, since the new season update, I’ve lost a lot of FPS. I used to play on the highest possible settings. Last season, I averaged around 260 FPS, but now I’m forced to play on quality/balanced settings and I barely reach 110–120 FPS when loaded in. During fights, it drops to around 70–80 FPS, which makes it impossible to play a FPS game, especially as a light trying to go in and out quickly to play around the enemies.

I sincerely hope you can look into this issue and fix both the FPS and the servers, because in their current state, there’s really no point in playing the game.

[hearty hatch]

Please for the love of everything fix your matchmaking for Ranked... It's terrible.

[neat zealot]

add staged reloads pls

[tender bough]

ive gotten Kyoto more this season then i did all of last season. i played 4 games of ranked this weekend spread out, 3 out of the 4 were Kyoto. Got home from work played 4 games 2 were Kyoto, went to play my 5th guess what Kyoto. The map still sucks to play. The new map from last season wasn't even played this much at the beginning of the season.

[outer arch]

Why do you come into ranked with people in the group who clearly have a very low rank? And when I say low, I mean level 1/35. That's simply not fair for people who have invested hours into the game. That's exactly why the game isn't so popular with some people.

[pulsar jay]

swap h+'s healing with some other buff effect like a speed boost or something, this shit's gonna be overpowered in a gadget slot with any numbers

[hollow tree]

I'd love a limited time event that doesn't allow light class at all. Embark sill hasn't made the lights purpose clear enough as far as team play goes because 99% of them still think this is fortnight or cod and l3ave their entire team behind in search of kills. This not only makes team play suck for your team but when you face these enemies it makes for super anti climactic fights that are insanely 1 sided with teams of 3 crushing the solo light then crushing the remaining 2 players on the opposing team. Which is grand if your just going after wins but I'm here to have fun and it's not fun when all the teams dot actually have a legit shot across the board. It becomes 2 teams who crush the lobby and the other 2 are basically just cannon fodder. We either need a VERY CLEAR PURPOSE for the lights or a ltm without them all together

[mellow geyser]

Double barrel might be balanced but it is not fun.

[undone swallow]

this would kill the game

[rotund gust]

since the new destruction was added I've found myself more times now in buildings that are super hard to navigate whilst in fights, because there's just rubble everwhere that you have to go through like a mole 🦡

For SOME reason, sometimes randomly when I boot up, my character will lose ALL gun and gadget skins and ill have to put them back on.

Wtf is that

Remove CL40, Holy shit

[spiral mantle]

Please stop with poke metas.
as a new player, my first experience with this game being people sniping each other across the map 24/7 just isnt fun.
and for the veteran players, its annoying to have everything past s2 being poke meta all the time

[gray solar]

I love when people in here just kind of throw out random sayings that are proveably wrong with even a minute of research. There is not a single gun in the entire game with worse hipfire accuracy than the sniper rifle. Whether moving, jumping, crouching, or standing still the sniper has the absolute worst hipfire accuracy by a significant amount when compared to any other gun in the game using the same player movement.

[fading cobalt]

MGL32 needs:

• Slightly larger projectile.

• Slightly faster projectile.

• Remove the tactical reload and make that 2.85 sec the default.

• Less bounce when fired at close range and from height to more reliably hit close enemies and those far below the user.

• 5-10 damage from the projectile directly impacting an enemy.

• Impact detonation on Mesh/Dome Shield.

• Minimum damage raised to 32-35 in exchange for the AoE going back to 3.75m.

• Projectile breaks all props and terrain decoration. For example: ceiling tiles, bamboo, shutters, pots, chairs, etc. without bouncing/exploding

• "Aiming" shows the initial arc of the projectile

• Remove projectile collision from objects like small rocks/pebbles and otherwise insignificant objects.

• Have the projectile treat all stairs and similar surfaces like a flat slope instead of individual steps.

Can we do something about the servers?

[carmine lance]

The game matchmaking is hot trash. Hey Embark, I'm level 95 and diamond. Stop giving me brand new players on my team and demons on the other.

[median bloom]

Wow.. servers also been horrible

[royal lance]

anybody else agree there should be an accessibility option that lets us hold down the fire button to shoot burst and single tap guns like famas and lh1 without having to spam tap? I play with gyro so the spam taps slightly move my controller, throwing off my aim, and I assume would be helpful for people with disabilities or smthn, destiny 2 has this and works great

[whole flame]

is anyone else in europe lagging hard ?

<<<<<<<<give us a rank above emerald 1 (emerald mastery) reward would be an emerald token which can be used to purchase a emerald skin u missed from prior season PLEEEEEEAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEE i missed the ak and the flamethrower there is still time to add this before season 8 is over>>>>>>>>>>>>>> also the ability to change optics in the practice range, a whisper function to text friends who r in a match, we also need loss prevention in ranked so many people grief and disconnect on purpose I've lost almost 10,000 rank points this season from teammates leaving and 2 v 3s are extremely hard to win especially when they know there is a man down apex does it please add this quality of life.... im also sick of getting allies that got the game a week ago when i have 1300 hours in the game. We also need a badge that says how many times you have reached emerald beause we cant display more than 3 badges. Embark we love you guys best fps ive ever played besides black ops 2 me and my wife have hundreds of hours of memories in this game keep up the good work!!!!!!! XOXOXOXOXOX

[karmic surge]

think everyone i know is going up and down up and down in ranked barely keeping their rank the same because of a doubled last box. you can play the whole game perfectly and have 33 thousand while first place has 35 and then get a doubled last box which is 36 thousand and get griefed out just because you are second place.

[safe ravine]

Man lately I've been chilling more and more in the practice range than actually playing the game. It just gets sweaty just too fast and constantly, that I need a break from it, but also can't get enough of The finals it's so peak. But the lack of player diversity is sad.
Sure u might call skill issue, but always playing the most effective loadouts to be able to win and get kills consistently is very boring. There's not much room for büllshiting and thats a shame.
Would love Embark to release some kind of sandbox, or forge, or community maps, or club homebase, to hangout in.
It just seems so fitting, with all the cosmetics that we have, and the Ready player One type universe this game is set in... Enough of constant sweating in cashout.
(Especially when ranked system is so f-ed)

[gilded estuary]

Just nerf p90

[topaz token]

Just want to throw in that I loathe what has happened to the dematerializer. It used to be so fun and smooth as butter. I’d be fine with the one fewer charge and the duration reduction, but it just feels so sluggish and clunky to use, it’s awful. You’ve truly ruined the most fun way to play medium. Now heal beam is the only viable option. Idk if it’s a ping issue, but demat just feels so slow and inconsistent, and it bums me out.

Anyone got any opinions on how sword is currently?

[brittle sequoia]

undo everything you did this season. voice chat is now worse. game stutters on a n rtx4080 at 1080p. getting sniped by a revolver across the map is big brain. every tdm match is either 4heavies or 4 swords/throwing dagger players. make a TDM mode for people that can aim. no swords. no grenade launcher. no long range flamethrower. i get that doesn't sell skins but my friends list attrition is getting worse every update. and stop making the newest map be the most played. I haven't talked to a single person who likes it.

[flint night]

Embark please take this the right way..... I really think you all need to take a big step back and see that you are slowly moving away from what makes this game fun with the gunplay. I find it so ironic that you release the "dynamism" video and quote "we wanted fights to last long enough for dynamism to matter" and then immediately come out with the BFR titan which revolves around burst damage. These are complete opposites of each other. You say one thing but then have made the entire meta for this season be about burst damage. Embark, you have heard time and time again that burst rifles like the LH1, pike, repeater, sniper rifle are community-hated guns when they are meta. No one likes being killed before you run 10 meters in a team fight. Stop making more weapons like these please. They ruin the fluidity of the game and make the practical TTK so quick in team fights that your "dynamism" doesn't matter anymore. The power creep is showing it's ugly head more and more. Please pay attention and keep the TTK slower. We don't want call of duty TTK. We want The Finals.

[ionic crescent]

Melee weapons are just as burst centric as the weapons you mentioned. At the end of the day its just variety, and the ttk is the same as any other "auto" weapons so fights last the same amount of time. If anything, I find myself killing people faster with the Shak or SA than with the BFR.

[rustic tinsel]

Sword was never a highly used weapon. This is an undeniable fact.
So you called 'nitch weapon'. It was fine for about six seasons without any nerfs, why did you suddenly treat it like a problem and make forced changes? Nobody likes the changes to the sword. Why do you take some narrow and extreme opinions as if they represent the whole community? And why do you ignore the common opinions of the actual sword users? You just abandoned and ignored the sword community.
Calling a nerf a buff and turning the sword into a dumb M1 weapon that destroys the 'identity' it had since beta was never wanted by any sword user. All that needs to be done is simply reverting it back to the S1 stats. With S1 stats there was no multi-hit, so no matter how much someone spins their aim, the so-called "exploit" is impossible. This is a perfect solution that sword users can also agree with, because the core mechanics of the sword remain unchanged. Any melee weapon can turn the aim to keep awareness and that is accepted, so why discriminate only against the sword? Then patch guns too so they cannot turn their aim while aiming. If you just remove multi-hit, you can solve the issue perfectly without making strange changes, so why stubbornly make things worse? Stop being so stubborn.

Every weapon, at close range, can naturally move behind an enemy or slide around and turn its aim to strike from the back. The dagger is specifically designed for this. So are you going to add aim lock to the dagger because of that? Why can’t the sword turn its aim like dagger and every weapon does? Every weapon can naturally turn its aim and strike an enemy, but the sword alone is restricted from doing so.

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.

Ks23 in real life is able to be loaded with flashbang and gas rounds due to its huge barrel, maybe incorporate something similar to that in the game!

Please add a new 5v5 objective mode to replace TA.

We shouldn't be losing so much RS when a teammate leaves a ranked match, effectively turning it into a 2v9

I once again ask for a "honor a teammate" system where we can honor teammates that we enjoyed playing with, receiving "x" amount of "honors" would give you a ❤️ shaped badge that you can display in your player card, maybe you can also give backgrounds and borders accordingly.

[dreamy owl]

[brave flame]

I kinda like Kyoto 💔💔💔

But I can say REMOVE CL40!!!
Uhh

Fix spawns? Also maybe stop the cursor from resetting every match, almost made me press a random ad on some website
Oh and what @quick coyote said! This would be very yummy!!😋 ^^^

OH js remembered, nullifier should work as glitch grenade but only 1 target!!

Great game tho
Also everything in the replied message!!^^^

[leaden grotto]

Stop solo players from matching with pre-made teams. Maybe add a physical aspect to mesh shield so people can't walk right through it/ melee through it

[dense agate]

Hopefully this is seen! These are just 3 of the issues I've personally felt like are very very fixable with little downside...

1. Weapon Sights & Colorblindness
   Right now there is literally no way for me to use the sights effectively because I and a lot of others deal with colorblindness and see such a faded red to an already dim weapon sight that it is a problem. Instead of just adding every possible sight to every weapon or just making it brighter, allow us to customize the sight color and brightness personally. I'm sure you guys could make something like this happen!

2. Sponsorship Grind
   We are now at a point where if a new player or even an old player starts a sponsorship that has had previous tiers, they will LITERALLY never catch up to the newest update of sponsorship content. This is a fatal flaw. How I think should be a starting point at possible solutions is allowing free sponsorship growth and grind AFTER you fully complete the seasons current sponsorship you have chosen for yourself.

For example! If you chose Trentila and completely finish it, you should be allowed to choose a sponsorship the start to grind and level up for extra rewards! More incentive to keep playing and it wouldn't account for fans toward the leaderboard as that can still go toward your sponsor chosen at the beginning of the season! No matter what even if a player manages to complete every single sponsor up to that point, the new season's sponsor will allow for more content regardless! There will never be a drought of sponsorship content and the player will have much more incentive to continue playing to grind previous or alternative sponsorships! I understand loyalty tiers are kind of important but honestly it is truly just artificial statistics. It takes an excessive amount of time between each sponsorship and there is going to become an unmanageable amount of sponsorship content afterward. I don't know how the loyalty tiers currently work since I have not chosen a single repeat sponsor at this point (Iseul-T > Dissun > Ospuze > CNS > Trentila). However I feel like this could be a good start for ideas.

3. Previous Ranked Rewards
   Some final requests for Progression rewards, please provide players that hit certain ranks AT LEAST for season 3 for their badges and backgrounds. I only say this because it is clear we still have public data for season 3. However for season 2, I am not sure on how easy it'd be to implement. Though it would be nice to have some badge recognition for the season 3 ranked gameplay, especially me and other diamond players and not only rubies.

Please take these ideas into consideration!

[white anchor]

P90 recoil nerf

Ks23 104 damage as it only effects heavies like 3shot plus quick melee

Make the fat triangle pistol sight an arrow.

A flare gun gadgets for light class that sticks to enemies and creates a trail with fiery sparkle particle effect and burn damage 20 in total.

(Spitfire) Fast fanning revolver with 🔥incendiary bullets for light class but only in hipfire and slower precise shots when aiming.
Interesting tradeoff for speed hipfire in close range Vs slower aim accuracy.
It should have very good range

Remove bfr

[worn ember]

Please change the in-game frame rate cap to adjust in values of 1 instead of 5, so we can set a 72fps cap if we're on a 144hz monitor for example.

[spiral mantle]

BFR is what the finals should not have. It is way too effective at any distance and it's hitscan??? and does more bodyshot damage than the light sniper? Remove it from the game or rework it entirely.

[pseudo pendant]

I got some good feedback in the general chat, so I'll throw it here.

Heavy gets the winch claw....

Light should get a force push. Lol. Pushing people off a roof, moving the cash out, force push off the map -- it could be really fun. It's a class ability too, so no dashing can be mixed in. I think the lack of movement would be a justification for it to exist. You're exposed at the cost of being able to move people and the cashout.

[loud lark]

im gonna be completely honest the game needs a new optimization update; i legit cant even play the game this season due to the new physics. during season 7 i had a solid 93 to 120 fps; currently im getting only 25 to 30 fps. ThinkPad t15g gen 2, i7-11800H @ 2.30Ghz (8c/16t), 64gbs of ram, windows 11 pro, RTX 3080 16GB of VRAM

ive turned everything down, ive done windows 11 optimizations to reduce background use, ive switched between Nvidia 576.88 and the latest version with no luck, etc.

[hazy shore]

allow arrows from the bow to go through teammates. so many shots get blocked because your heavy decides to move his fat butt in the way

[uncut thorn]

After watching closed qualifier. I feel The Finals grand major is going to be boring af because people are just going to winch every indoor scene cash out to open field and poking each other outside. There will be no blasting in the building no destructive indoor no dynamism. R.I.P grand major, was so hype about it before. GG

[solar sail]

There seems to be an issue with the FAMAS queuing shoot inputs, sometimes if you quickly switch to a gadget / heal beam and switch back it'll auto fire a 3 burst from an input that was 'queued' before switching, I don't think it should do

[limpid quiver]

day 1 of asking for terminal attack back

It was a great game mode, i still played the days before they remove it

[solemn wraith]

Yea

[glass cape]

Fix Asian servers please. I recommended the game to 5+ people, and after a couple days of trying, they all (except 1) dropped because of red ping. Every match, at least once, I die after going behind cover. If you need video for analysis, I can provide some. Asia is a big 🫏 continent. If you want a lot of players from different countries, you need a lot of good servers.

[sour cedar]

Best game i have played in my life, i am a diehard csgo player and i decided to give the finals a try and I just had the best 6 hours of playing with my boys, total caos lots of fun, thats it thats all i wanted to say in case the developers check the chat out

[woeful shoal]

Game API 🙏

[gray solar]

Nope, you can go into practice range and compare the circles with the dispersion reticles on which so far streamers have agreed are very accurate to the hipfire spread. The Repeater is very close but the Sniper is still bigger.

[sweet ice]

you sword users keep amazing me, idk how is it possible to keep crying your oneshot machine that was frustrating to play against got nerfed to a healthier and still viable state🤣 how do you not realise why it was nerfed?

[bitter kiln]

Nah fix this shit y’all hit marks won’t register y’all said no huge penalizations if get disconnect or game crash then why do I get twi hr suspensions for it!!!! Pls fix y’all stuff can’t progress anything if you do stuff like that

[light zenith]

The solo thing should be pretty much fixed at least in ranked. If u mean wt, that has not as strong matchmaking

[frank holly]

can we remove the stun from winch already??? I'm so goddam sick of the same stun over and over and over again in every single game

[sterile canopy]

Perhaps the winch stun should only affect movement and specialisations, not weapons and gadgets. The winch user could be “stunned” for less time too to compensate if that was needed

Show the ping in the servers I know u hide it so u dont have to add more servers but eventually u have to when the game grows

[rocky mason]

Hello,

i was wondering if you guys can possibly look into weapon switching in world tour? Specifically in the final round. I think its pretty unfair for the team that didnt wipe having to deal with an entirely new strategy without any kind of telegraph on the enemy team that has wiped. It creates a really unfair advantage for the team thats doing well, punishing them for essentially taking the pace of the match within the moment.

Thank you in advance!

[stable coyote]

We need better audio please.
Multiple times people have run up behind me, used a zip line, or done other things with no audio cues.

I have thousands of hours in Valorant. Audio cues is not something I just miss (often 😉)

[cobalt kernel]

Nerf Winch Cringe to 10 meter range, lower stun effect drastically, remove second hit on the way back. Make the chain break if the pulled object gets stuck on a ledge or wall

Nerf BFR, remove it from the game idc. Heavy should not have long range weapons period
It honestly should have been a Light weapon (see last point w iron sights)

Nerf Dome shield, should block all damage from all sides

Reduce max amount of Pyro mines carried to ONE, just like the other types

Buff Medium Revolver range

Buff Reshaper recharge time greatly

Increase HP of gravity Vortex to 50, so it cannot be melee one shot

Buff Pyro grenade AOE

Buff XP54 reload time

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

Give Iron sights to sniper and increase hitscan range by 10 meters

Let us switch scopes in the pregame lobby (and practice range obviously!)

BRING BACK BANK IT

[bitter juniper]

Delete Heavy, delete medium, delete light

[mellow estuary]

two sane suggestions:

1. TAP Q FOR REPLAY - dont make it automatic. also remove the wipe screen its too buggy between dying and getting res'd.
2. Light sword dash is cool but not so much to everyone not playing... especially with a loaded dash strike on a triple dash they literally come from across the map and one tap with no counter. Can you melee counter this? Does it and I just dont know?

[proven crown]

Would be AMAZING if there was a "Cashout Station Planning" option in training to deploy on an empty map (all maps) where there's a Cashout in every possible location at the same time (Cashout A,B,C,D,E,F,G etc).

This would allow teams to plan the attack and defense positioning really well, and also station manipulation. A reset button to put all stations back in position would be sick too.

Would be a really powerful tool for content creators as well

[autumn oyster]

Watching qualifiers and playing Plat+ ranked makes me feel like this game turned into Pudge Wars. Just add Winch working with the gateway and we can invite Dendi for some "fountain hook" highlights.

But here’s the real issue: why is Heavy the main fighter while Light feels like just a support? It used to be different - 350 HP guy was supposed to be the team’s tank with some machine guns, not the one dragging enemies with Winch, stunning them, and landing an easy headshot. And guess what, all of Heavy’s meta weapons are just shotguns and pistols that don’t require much tracking skill but having a huge damage with each successful hit, making it trivial to finish a winched player with headshots.

Meanwhile, Light, the supposed damage dealer and movement class, has turned into a pure utility class. Heal and teleport are top meta so their entire identity locked into support gadgets. Back in the day we had choices like 2x HE grenades or the stungun, which at least let Light actually secure kills.

Sure, we got the HML meta at the top competitive level, but at what cost? Why is Light only viable if they’re stacked with essential support gadgets? Why is Heavy the main character of every top team?

• As long as Heavy can move cashouts and secure guaranteed kills with a single specialization, it will remain the meta no matter how much you tweak cooldowns. This needs a rework so Heavy isn’t the primary killer, and so the other classes get more meaningful roles.

• Right now Heavy has Winch, RPG, Dome, Lockbolt, and Barricades - tons of tools they can use during the fight. Light, on the other hand, just shoots and presses Q to evade bullets. That’s boring. There is only one single in-fight gadget - Glitch Grenade. Give them some real combat gadgets, something they can activate mid-fight that changes their playstyle. For example: a gadget active for 10 seconds (30s cooldown) that applies a passive 1s glitch effect on every bullet hit (2 sec for headshot). Or some other ways that would finally give Light utility in combat that will benefit all teammates instead of just being support for the sake of being viable on high competitive level.

P.S. Nerfing Demat and boosting Heal Beam was the right call to make Mediums more support-viable, which is what this class was supposed to be

[safe relic]

Can we please get the option to change optics mid-game? There's been times I forgot to equip a particular one before a match and was subsequently stuck without one, or with one that didn't suit my needs for that match.

It's rough when you need a red dot or iron sight, but you have a light dashing around at point blank range, making it difficult to ads.

[brave dagger]

Tiny suggestion. The red dot on the repeater is rather large. This obstructs the view on longer range shots. If we look at the red dot on the revolver its allot smaller on the screen. That would be the perfect size for the repeaters red dot.

[warm drift]

Wishlisting things from the Store would be nice, for keeping track on what to save MB for.

It's a "game-feedback" joke with so many messages. I'd like to know if they're really interested in reading our suggestions/comments or if they've deliberately chosen not to allow threads because they don't really care what we think or simply aren't interested in our suggestions. They've shown very little interest in what we write. My answer is in the link. https://streamable.com/qdztxt

[heavy mural]

I read all of them don’t worry

[manic oak]

they seriusly need to step it up with the cheating issue. have they stopped caring all together now or what. evry game ive playd in this season there is aimbotters. wallhackers. its so crazy. havent gotten a singl game without a low level obivous aimbotter yet. its so crazy. last 2 seasons its just gotten out of hand. hope they do something soon or i will just quit. its so crazy right now. start banning cheaters pls. fix this issue already. its getting so out of hand.

[glad pike]

sounds like you just suck

[quick fern]

always yellow or red ping please give india some servers 🥲

[tender flame]

a cool idea for a environment/small part of a level could be like a rotating room, like sometimes when you blow up a building and it start to spin for some random ass reason, you could just make a genuine room with the rotation in mind so like cover on all surfaces and stuff but i can see that not being enjoyed by people.

they really need to fix the matchmaking, i just got into a team with a person half the score rank (i want my rank back)

It should have very good range.

[vale spoke]

Hey Embark!
I am in love with your games, totally bonded w/ The Finals and tried Arc raiders when the beta was available.
I have only one feedback:
PLEASE add Ukrainian language to the Ark raiders!
Me and my friends would be happy!

[ebon kiln]

Watching Major 2025 and... +95% players using EXACTLY the same build...
Over a year yelling this at Embark while ignored... and now the OBVIOUS truth finally emerges:
THE FINALS suffers from MASSIVE BALANCING ISSUES...

Take Light: No one would play it without its absurdly OP healing on a pure-DPS class — nonsense. They added it just to dodge the shame of a tourney with ZERO Lights. Heavy would dominate unchallenged, with Medium just healing/reviving those tanks, as Heavy could solo everything anyway...

It's laughable — Embark built this whole Class/Role system, then SHAT all over it by dumping weapons and gadgets onto mismatched classes, shattering balance. Embark's dev chats probably go like:

Hey, P90 assignment?

Medium, duh. We know it's tailor-made for Light with suppressor, but screw logic!

Best ingame Heal, H+ Infuser?

Light, obviously. Should be Medium's turf, but who gives a damn? Just all the players

Gravity Vortex?

It'd fit Heavy like a glove, but give it to Light

Breach Drill?

Makes perfect sense for Heavy, but nah — Medium it is. Trolling's our vibe

Dual Blades?

Light’s 150HP is killable and balances low mobility with Dash skill, but Medium would be OP with immortal 250HP, so... Medium

Sword?

The opposite case: Medium would have perfect mobility with the Sword's Dash, and Light would abuse with infinite Dashes, so... Light

It is a constant NONSENSE. It's grotesquely unbalanced, confirmed by Major 2025; they know it but excuse it as wanting a "dynamic" game... This isn't "dynamic" buddy, wake up... it's UNBALANCED, that's why it can't attract new ones...
Classes/roles can have variety, but they must be WELL-DEFINED to encourage CO-PLAY; and if you want a deep playstyle change, switch your class, that's why there are 3 different, and not just one...
And adjust classes HP for fair play: Heavy 320 / Light 180, closing the MASSIVE gap that prevents proper balance ¬¬'

But don't give critical feedback because they'll punish you...

[untold willow]

Revert fcar to s1 recoil pattern

[sonic arrow]

I agree that its grossly unbalanced. however, you fail to see why the devs are incorporating multiple diverse tools on each build.

[fair jewel]

make the report system better or add an endorsement level. toxicity is everywhere, even in my casual matches and im sick and tired of getting yelled at and bullied because i want to casually play a game I enjoy. actually scratch that, i literally cannot enjoy the game anymore.

[marsh oriole]

Nerf p90

[worldly pumice]

M11 already exists, why two of the exact same smgs???

Healing infuser is strong, but burst vs sustain healing and it does require a bit of aiming to be effective. why give med two exact same healing items anyways?

You don't even give any explanations for why they would fit as a different class, like you say gravity vortex for heavy when light capitalizes most on enemies' positioning mistakes

Heavy already has a thousand ways to destroy a building, but let's give them the most useless tool out of them all to do so that sounds really good. Med was in drastic need for a destruction gadget outside of a specialization and yeah its very weak but its there as an option. Why prevent meds from participating in the core fun of the finals: destruction?

Dual blades and sword is insanely silly based on your own statements and you argue as if they were meta weapons (FAR from it). I like how you say you want cohesiveness with these classes yet when theres the examples of dual blades being supportive (drawing fire), or sword being mobility based, NOW suddenly you want them to be on different classes, just because.

Having the game perfectly balanced DOES NOT mean it can't be dynamic, and the easy way out as you suggest to lock these three classes into their own rigid play-styles would kill any fun out of character customization (its not a hero shooter..) and the whole game.
But let's just fault the developers for not making the same garbage hero shooter that's been done a million times, yeah? Curse them for implementing a different way to play a class.

[rapid stream]

Remove winch claw

revert glitch trap into glitch mines from S1/2 (they were an actually neat way of implementing glitch onto medium without it being broken)

Rework BFR to be a second heavy spread shotgun instead of a sniper

[copper anvil]

Glitch trap is 20x better now than it was lol

[raven garnet]

WTF

[untold hazel]

WTF

[hollow kelp]

stop posting this. you fundamentally misunderstand the concept of this game, its not a hero shooter

[keen karma]

incorporate player cards in all aspects of the game UI

[novel trench]

Stop copy pasting this dude, you clearly don’t understand this games design philosophy. If you’re so disenfranchised you should stop playing!

[halcyon perch]

i know this should be a long post or something. I just wanna say the one, single issue between me not playing the game right now, and playing the game, is that Latam servers are DEAD, and no one like playing this kind of game at 100/150+ping

i would literally grind the hell outta this game if Latam servers had players, but those, (WT and Rank) are playing on NA

[frigid citrus]

fix the goo collision to be just inside of the mesh bounds, as the air around the mesh currently blocks shots which feels awful

Why at the end of the matches everybody see that I have level 85 when I have 89?
And I'm not the only one, some of my friends too also have this problem with the wrong level display

[dusty igloo]

Nerf winch in the way it actually works. Not the cooldown or range, the way it actually works.
Make double barrel deal 175, that way it can still deal the high damage, but isnt as forgiving, right now you can long range (For db) 1 shot a light, and miss a lot of pellets and still 2 shot a heavy.
And make glitch trap have a slightly shorter range, and no glitch overtime effect

[flint night]

The benefit to melee weapons is you see them coming. Other than the sword, which is a different topic, the community as a whole doesn’t hate melee weapons for their fast TTK because if they close the distance to get the kill, then that’s on you. They feel fair to fight against. With semi-auto rifles, which are inherently made for ranged fights, you don’t see the damage coming half the time. I’m glad banned the BFR in the majors. Bc SA, bubble, infuser push/pull type gameplay is fun to watch. But the times we see team fights ended so quickly, the struggle and awkwardness for the announcers was palpable... I agree that variety is good. But Lamp you have to understand that the people that you play with are not representative of the community. You play so many hours each day that you get bored if you’re not third or fourth partying every box. It’s just gaming culture with streamers feeling the need to continually take fights that make content and money. The community doesn’t play a fraction of the hours you do. And variety is not as much of an issue for so much of the community... I just hope that Embark would watch the power creep closely. It can ruin a game quickly if not taken seriously. I hope Embark sees how they need some sort of internal benchmark for their guns in team fights and not only in solidarity. Because slower fights for dynamism’s sake is a large part of what makes the Finals unique. But they seem to be moving away from that slowly. Variety is good, but not when it infringes on what makes a game unique. I know some of these devs came from EA and I wonder if they are seeing some of the flaws with B6 moving away from traits that make the franchise unique, highlighted by that community (i.e. JackFrags). I just want them to learn from other people’s mistakes and keep the Finals unique to what it’s been doing well.

[odd prism]

Buff minigun so I can obliterate all of the complainers 🔥

For anyone who’s complaining about balancing, it’s arguably the most balanced it ever has been. You can counter certain strategies with others and not have a super hard time. while yes, the game will never be perfect because each weapon has a unique ‘ability’, it’s more balanced than its ever been. Some things are going to be more useful than others 100% of the time, such as the gateway, but that doesn’t mean it’s broken. The only way to fix what most people are complaining about is deleting the game at this point ngl.

Snipers have ruined powershift, This has been a valid complaint for many seasons.. If your not gonna disable sniper atleast do some modifications to the platform. Give it a middle wall like the moving platforms or whatever.. just do something, a couple maps are just not fun because of the constant sniping. Snipers almost have no counter in this mode, hunt and kill them does nothing with the small respawn timer, most walls and goo get destroyed so fast, shields get nuked the moment you turn them on on the platform. give sniping a decent counter so just shooting from spawn is less of an issue. give them a reason to move and relocate like the rest of the teams.

[slender pine]

BFR is overtuned

winch is OP

melees suck ass

[sudden lake]

please please please please PLEASE!!!!! disable revives and defibrilator in team deathmatch!!!!

[slow fox]

Melee ass W

[random lagoon]

Imo reviving normally is fine since no one can revive you in time if you want to respawn, so you can basically decide to be revived or not, but defib absolutely, leaves you way too vulnerable

[quick coyote]

pretty much just people who want to farm the revives contract use it

[smoky gust]

please remove revives from TDM outright

defib shouldnt exist in it at all because it actively griefes your team most of the time and doesnt help even in the best circumstance

manual revives arent as bad, but it still puts you on a much higher time pressure if you want to swap items
you might miss an item you wanted to swap, accidentally select the wrong one and are unable to change it back, and even if you manage to do that and respawn in time, the reviver will miss out on a revive they almost got, which can feel a bit annoying after standing there for several seconds trying to help someone

i think TDM would be better off without any revives at all

[modern grail]

So, I know that this place has some bad reputation, but I think this is some good feedback. I have been playing The Finals since late Season 1-Start of Season 2, and The Finals has pretty good balancing, monetization, etc. but I feel like the biggest problem with this game is it's matchmaking...cause, uh, its not good. Yesterday I played multiple solo games, and many of those games had the opposing team be a full clan or 75% of the team be in a clan, while my team was full of solo runners. This shouldn't happen due to the opposing team having better communication in general, while with solo teams people may not want to talk to strangers and/or not have voice chat enabled. While the argument "It's a team game, ofc you need to use vc" is a bit viable, a clan generally will have much better cooperation and communication then a team of solo runners being dropped into a team. Imo, what is needed is to prevent lobby teams (I think thats what we call 'em nowadays) with being pared up against solo runners. That is really probably only one of my biggest complaints for the game at the moment.

[twilit skiff]

Please give us bank it back in private matches (or something similar).

We used it to play 1v1v1 matches. All other gamemodes have longer respawn times or are only for two teams.

[uncut hedge]

nerf winch

[copper tinsel]

[safe relic]

If two heavies winch someone at the same time from opposite sides, make it rip them in half like some Mortal Kombat fatality. It'd be hilarious.

[half plume]

Please separate skirts from stockings into a separate stockings slot, or at least put them together with "shoes" instead of "lower body".

I often have the issue of not being able to use the shoes that come together with stockings, because the vast majority of skirts and shorts already have some form of stockings, that cover the ones coming from shoes such as: Noctivault Boots, Spectrosteps, Sinister Stompers, Combat Cleaners and Crowd-Turner Heels.

If you were to combine the stockings with shoes, due to not being able to make a separate slot, you would hardly ruin many outfit combos, since if you only wanted the shoes then said stockings would get covered by pants anyways, and you could also mix and match stockings from different skirts.

and if it's not possible to alter existing cosmetic items, then in that case please release more skirts with bare skin, and shoes with stockings

[visual flax]

The winch claw has remained the dominant spec for most of the time since release, sharing the spot with mesh shield until its nerf.
Ever since then, winch claw has been borderline untouched, it has only had slight number changes mostly around its launch, and the most recent change was once again just a minor number change at season 8.
Winch claw is flawed at its core and it needs proper changes to bring it to a balanced level. You are seen as throwing if you are not running winch and all you see in every single game is winch.
There are three main issues.
The first one being how forgiving it is when it comes to hitting targets. You can miss the winch on it shooting out, but if the enemy walks into the chain of the winch, they will get pulled in. It also will snap on into impossible spots.
Leading into the second issue, LOS is not required, the chain can be fully obscured and they will still be able to pull the winch.

[nimble scaffold]

Then the person being winched, they dont gain any control back until AFTER the winch ends, this is why sledge was nerfed in my opinion, cause it allows for a free hit on every single class, it allows for free headshots, it might honestly be the worst part of the winch claw.
The stun effect should be equal for both parties involved, as soon as the winch holder gains control, the winched should also get their full control back.
And then the third one, which can be argued against but in my opinion, the winch should not cancel any charged attacks, or attacks such as bow charges, lunges, right clicks, or most melee attacks. Being winched from less then a meter away when you are frames away from landing a long wind up attack is incredibly frustrating. I feel the stun effect should only be applied from above 1 meter or 2 meters.
And then in defence of the winch when it comes to a common change I hear. I think winch should still go through dome shield as dome shield doesnt have many counters when it comes to heavy v heavy. I feel a winch being able to pull a player though domes kind of works.
I also was discussing a few arguments in this highlight here which I feel express how desperately winch needs to be nerfed. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2568126148

[full sentinel]

Tracking Dart rework: Glitch Dart. Make the new Glitch Dart have a capacity of 1, and deal a weakened form of glitch for a slightly longer duration, 5/10s? The weakened glitch would block the use of gadgets and specializations, but not cover your screen and make it difficult to aim.

(also give it to medium, light wouldn't be ok with 2 glitch gadgets) (also they don't need a sonar grenade and tracking dart anyway, dart is overshadowed)

[fallen steeple]

Can you guys bring back the firework win theme

[neat zealot]

add straged reloads pls?

[opal nacelle]

been through many games lately where 2 teams playing together to reach the final round, they dont even shoot at each others like they find a way to be in the same game

[autumn oyster]

• Please add a clown mask or full set to the store so i can gift it to some people
• Please add the button to disable moaning and breathing sounds of my character after running or taking damage. My neighbours might think that i am watching p*rn when i play with speakers #👂┇game-feedback message

[misty jasper]

lol i mean, i agree that there's a pretty clear power dynamic with certain weapons, but your point that all these weapons/gadgets are going to a different class is just completely against your own opinion

[proud plinth]

I am convinced you don't play this game

[viral trail]

It feels a lot more balanced atm 🙂 Melee weapons still dont belong imo and perhaps the flamethrower is hitting just a tad too hard atm. Heavy feels like it’s the strongest atm.

I’m having a lot of fun with the new head to head 🙂

[weary pine]

Its been like 5 seasons now. Nerf the god damn M11 already!

You already killed the model and cerb as counters and it has a 0.90sec TTK vs mediums! Time to bring Light down to a balanced level already!

[kindred hull]

Embark I am once again asking for you to advertise your game

[indigo gull]

day 4 of asking for flamethrower nerf and bank it to come back

[autumn sedge]

Please remove lockbolt

[plain lotus]

Still clowns crying about a nerfed spec in a nerfed class is so crazy, I roll a few winch lockbolt heavies a day.

[balmy pewter]

let me throw the spear

[tulip flint]

Guys what do you think about a mode where u can pick up enemy guns?

[swift fable]

Nerf p90

[primal sphinx]

while I agree lock bolt isn't egregious, to call heavy a nerfed class is outrageous

[timid geode]

Lockbolt, winch, and p90 are in great spots. The only thing that might need a nerf is the BFR.

If youre struggling against the winch then play distance, same for lockbolt.

[rocky elk]

Diagre but said it before buff P90 n AKM NEEDS ITS AMMO BCK.

[versed cloud]

Make the sword fun to use again.

[molten remnant]

Hey embug get the new problems fixed you guys brought in this season.

-Weapon starts randomly to fire nonstop

• Not beeing able to sprint since S3 idk but long time
• Not beeing able to change the loadout when dead
  -Massive Performance Issues on PS5 after new destruction update. Having 5fps is not fun.
  -first hit after winch not beeing counted many times
• demat is terrible to use now and not as quick as it used to be. Feels clunky asf.
  -barricade cant be placed 8/10 times
  -heavies healing emitter disappears after placing
  -M60 has a broken animation using it with the red dot sign

And so on.

[slow bolt]

This +1

[merry anvil]

Demat not responding when you press a button as soon as possible is problematic...

[supple mortar]

Please do something for sword. It needs help.
Nobody wants this angle lock trash, just revert sword to s1 and we good.

This feedback all seems super out of touch - what rank are you?

[sudden spire]

1. Stop pulling my cursor to the center of the screen if the game is not the window in focus
2. Death Match should last longer, it keeps ending before the losing team has a chance to make a last second comeback. it should just be first team to 30, not first team to 28 who then runs down the clock.
3. The countdown in Quick Play is still wrong, after all this time

[quick coyote]

delete the "feedback" channel, give music producers a raise, cancel esports

[tame abyss]

2 /3 seasons later and the bug that makes you let go of the cashout when you're on controller is STILL NOT fixed :)
Lost a WT just now because of it

Why do these people deserve our money again?

[crisp heart]

with the removal of terminal attack there is no longer a 5v5 mode with an objective focus that matches cashout. you should atleast add 5v5 cashout

PLEASE EMBARK HOST YOUR RAW MUSIC SOUNDTRACK FILES ON DISCORD YOUTUBE COMPRESSION IS AWFUL!!!

I'm kinda glad to see that I'm not the only one with this exhaustion feeling of having to deal with the sweats in this game and on the other hand, it's pretty sad to see that I share this feelings with others, as it shows that only the tryhard/hardcore fans remain in the game.
Don't get me wrong I'm a comp player myself and a diehard fan of The Finals, which is still my main game.

But I've been very reluctant to boot the game up again because of the constant ruby lobbies, it feels like there's only those guys left, and it feels like the game is dying. (2 weeks into new season btw)
I'd say I still play this game on a daily basis. But even when in quickplay, it is very sweaty, it makes me wanna play less and less.
Anyway, the video points it out well, but here is what I would like to see on The Finals, to balance out this sweatiness. And maybe give the casual players a reason to start the game in the first place:

• give us more casual gamemodes that doesn't feel punishing (for eg: LTE where you can't die, and just focus on a objective -- cashball would have been good without deaths, or demolition gamemode, or parkour/races...)
• double down on the Ready Player One aspect of the game (we have so many cosmectics and player to player expression, but can't utilize it or show it, as there is no real HUB or any community servers going on... copying Fornight in that aspect would be nice)
• give us some kind of forge mode where we can build our own map (the game is so beautiful, it would be great to have something like this to give some room for players creativity, and immersion) or atleast a customizable homebase for players or clubs
• more depth to PVE, the gunplay in this game is phenomenal and kills are VERY satisfying, I think this is why the game is becoming sweatier: kills are fun, but as everyone wants kills, it becomes sweatier (vicious cycle) so some brainless shooting would be a good addition

[eternal quest]

would love a game mode where you can pick up one of your teammate's items to use later, like a barricade or jump pad. your teammate could recall the item if they wanted too, of course

[sharp herald]

[lone hazel]

I feel like the mgl32 is a bit weak currently. What if there were two shell types (maybe even multiple that could be configured to fit the users preference like how sights are) that were fired individually with the left and right click mouse buttons. Or whatever would make sense on console. The mgl doesnt really need the option to aim in so nothing major would be lost there. Some examples of shell types could be:
. regular shells
. demo shells (extra building damage)
. sticky shells
. element shells (like weaker versions of the grenade versions)
. shotgun shells
These could all be unlocked with ingame credits just like gun sights. I reckon the element shells could have interesting interactions. Assuming that you can customize which shells to have in which slot, you could shoot out gas shells and then blow them up with fire shells although I'm not 100% sure that actually does damage.

[strong crescent]

You are not alone 😅
Every wt match I play I am getting stomped by triple stack meta gamers, kinda ruins the fun.

[sand kayak]

Quadruple hair and faces

I also agree. The matchmaking balancing is absolutely fucked. Every game has that ONE team who clearly doesn't belong and stomps everyone else

[waxen sorrel]

There should be a small window of time for rejoin for wt/rank leavers if they aren't in your party. Something like 2/3 minutes tops

[slim zodiac]

TERMINAL ATACK REMOVED!! MY FAVOURITE MODE!!
You should have remodeled the game making it more engaging instead of removing it out of nowhere. that was the MOST strategic game mode. Now reduced the finals to 4 EQUAL non-tactic modes with crazy random 200m spawns everywhere (Fortnite like...), were luck is a major factor to victory, one tdm and one powershift. I get bored easily
I've been playing since the beginning
Feedback
-Terminal: allow change specialization to counter tactics
-extra shield to who's on an area close to terminal/key/cash incentive teams to play closer together
-light nerf because a light shouldn't be able to wipe an entire team
-fix guns range, lights can't shoot you halfway across the map with a bb gun
-a 2 seconds delay between dashes (lights pop up w invis bomb, insta kill w knife and triple dash away before you even get a lock on to retribute... a LIGHT INVIS WITH TRIPLE INSTA DASH IS FAIR?)
-REMOVE 1 HIT KILL on the KNIFE, it's ABUSE! And nerf sword
-light has too many advantages against Medium
-Fix GOO GRENADE when you throw this shit comes back at you and goo yourself instead of making walls 100% of the time, when you goo a roof it makes two useless goo balls.. It could have a 'preview' of the wall you're about to make before throwing it, and make walls 100% of the time
-Stop spawning us 200m from the objective
-Allow a precise chronometer to steal the cash and not let us guessing the mark around 6 seconds
-Medium: the most unappreciated class
-TURRET should be portable like Chuck
-Breach charge makes a tiny hole in the wall, it should tear it down and be throwable from far
-Everyone has heal items but medium sacrifices an entire specialization
-Items placed at the back of the moving platform slip off (mines, goo grenade etc)
-shield cover area is too big
-It should be possible to escape a heavy after a winch claw but it's not, making certain kill to a heavy that barely has to aim (remove winch damage and aim assist)
-Text message friends

[queen walrus]

Ok hear me out embark....A fun new medium mele weapon tho could be brass knuckles where you box people or brass feet where you could do flying and drop kicks and even kick bullets.... could be epic

[hollow kelp]

this is actually such a good idea for med

thats just the beggining tbh, played 3 games in a row as a gold with the exact 2 silvers on my team

[ember ridge]

Rework the "play with same mates after the round" feature why do we have to go into the lobby and someone has to search for a round so unnecessary. Just make it all automatically search for a new round with same mates

[hasty coral]

Make a solo queue for rank mode, im sure everyone here is tired of being put in lobbies where whole enemy team consist of 2man and 3man premades.

[gritty jetty]

Let's give light another smg and have light now be 3 weapons ahead of medium
Let's give heavy another breach item when they already have c4, rpg, charge n slam, and sledge
Let's give light another sword item because medium only deserves 1 melee

Quick cash player

this message is too long for my abnormally small brain, i agree with anybody who disagrees with you

have a good day

[storm tide]

Small weapon changes ideas:
ARN-220: if U press R it would swap primary mag to secondary mag, if U hold R it would change the whole two mags. Making weapon reload feels more reliable
Dagger: if U pressed right click it would just attack without loosing in speed, if U hold right click it would hold stab till U decide when to realise with losing some speed
Sword: remove degree lock on lounge, but if user decides to turn around to hit enemy damage would be reduced, additionally make it hit if enemy is halfway in goo, or stuck in it, it's like the only cc light players have(same for medium)

[pine frigate]

Again please embark add open toed shoes with nail polish options

Is there a way to not be able to be matched with people I block, ie trolls

[waxen thicket]

• Make the Instant Replay manually activated with a button

• Make the Scotty and June voicelines more expansive and announce 3rd parties, double cashout and running away with cashbox

• Add a combo multiplier that increases cash from steals, denies, eliminations, revives done in quick succession.

• remove the 3rd attacks from the Dual Blades attack combo and Spear spin combo to make them less cumbersome.

• Add manual detonation for MGL32 and add 20 damage to the projectile itself on direct hit.

• Give KS23 slugs a 1m explosion radius so that it can break wall segments more reliably.

• Make all marksman weapon shots projectile beyond their max range, like Sniper Rifle and KS23. Best if done on all guns.

• Give all shotguns a 1.15x headshot multiplier except SH1900 and SA1216 so that proper aim lets you reduce stk.

• Buff poison damage by adding 10% slow to players inside it and 10 explosive damage to all gas burns.

• Buff fire damage by making the dot stackable 3 times, no more than once every second. This would make Pyro Grenade, Cerberus and Flamethrower actually viable.

• Give broken walls 5-10 damage upon impact to players hit by it, depending on the size and speed. Just enough to make them feel less like paper-mache, but not enough to actually kill anyone.

• Only show enemy healthbars when you or your teammate has damaged them, to make 3rd parties less convenient.

• Add the Bank It cashout station to standard matches and let enemies drop coins. Players can deposit the coins in the station in case they want some extra cash.

• Let players change their loadout or classes during halftime like the average sports matches where players and positions can be changed by the coach during halftime.

• Add an option to bring a 2nd weapon or specialization in exchange for having only 2 equipments instead of 4.

Stop nerfing or buffing the healing beam just make the person getting healed unable to be healed while taking direct damage from gunfire so there’s no pocketing going on. Instead of these minor buffs and nerfs every other season😂

[violet falcon]

game is mid tbh

[still crater]

For ranked and world tour to have ability to spectate after losing it’d be a good way to check if the person is cheating or not or just entertain yourself if you don’t wanna go to the next round, there could even be an event on Halloween where dead players could come back to life and if they win enough cash outs, they could fully come back to life

[foggy orbit]

remove or drastically lower cloak audio when moving, it should lean more into being a sneaky spec

[delicate marlin]

buff sword lunge by 5 damage so theres more of a reason to use it against mediums. It kills them in three hits which is the same as the primary attack.

Probably keep sword clamp though, it should be risky. Buff lunge speed so it isnt easy to dodge

flamethrower is truly too good. it is a direct upgrade over spear. it outperforms hammer in most settings. it needs a nerf. it cant even be countered by keeping a distance since it has better reach than spear and hammer. And its not like heavy has winch that allows heavy to make you not keep your distance.

@zealous holly ragebaiters used to be able to read 😔

[zealous holly]

incorrect, ttk is relatively low and can be countered by anyone with a brain by just keeping distance, the argument that has more reach is a little underwhelming considering the fact that heavys are forced to walk when shooting/using it and being the slowest class in the game PLUS being able to out DPS it most times

@daring remnant flame is genuinely bottom 3 heavy weapons idk why ur complaining abt it and my last point basically gets rid of the whole winch thing

[bitter stone]

Add a CNS event where things disappear and reappear randomly

[fringe pebble]

Is there a way that we can get the items from bonus season pass.. i want the Carbine skin for season 6 bonus battle pass .. it will be great if we can get them..

[grand crow]

The bot issue it TDM is genuinely unbearable. Playing solo queue means you get stuck with four stacks where three players are AFK so their teammate can farm recruit and rise while they run scripts to avoid activity warnings.

[hollow kelp]

fully agree. i don't care if it's technically not very good but its annoying asf to fight and takes so little skill to use and get value out of.

[lament talon]

Winchclaw should not hook through heavies mesh shield (dome is fine) anyone agree?

[paper ivy]

can we get some long stiletto nails for the girls gays and theys (and men/whoever else if they so choose) im sick of only the nub nails.
listen i know its not realistic for shooting a gun but neither is wearing ur wedding dress and heels while you do it so eh.... pls

[white scroll]

ok embark, this one is free: if you don't want your esport scene to be nothing but winch/sa12, healbeam medium and dash/h+/93r teams you have to introduce pick/ban draft for gadgets and specializations before the game starts. At the start of the tournament, let teams take turns banning specializations. Once that done, let them pick 3 gadgets each that are going to be banned. That will leave 5 specializations and 25 gadgets to choose from. This should make unorthodox team comps possible. It is sad to see how utterly pigeonholed the current meta is. Don't just nerf winch or h+ or whatever you are planning on doing, that will only shift the meta, without actually fixing the problem.

[spark crown]

can we start adding skins to sights / incorporating new skins with available sight options? i feel like some skins are really being held back because the optics have no skin on them. also just more conventional skins, you know? good looking weapon skins that dont break the bank, i can appreciate a detailed new 3d mesh over-the-top skin but i would like more skins that look like stuff out of csgo r6 and warface and not just limiting them to a bundle with 3 guns. I do really like what has been done with the cherry bloom boom set, it is a great looking simple clean and conventional skin on a variety of guns <3 MORE GLOW!!!!!

[rustic vault]

Since TDM has been added you need to make self eliminations with explosions count as an elim for the person who damaged you in the last few seconds, doesn’t matter much in other modes other than a minor annoyance, but in TDM it is a big problem that people just wrecklessly blow themselves up and get full kill credit but the other team will sometimes get 25 because that also is not consistently given.

Please also fix the powershift win/lose bug, and give it some love in general, it has so much potential to be an awesome game mode, but half the time it is just snipers playing TDM with eachother or farming new players. The easter event actually made powershift feel like powershift.

[stable coyote]

How does one get to rank one on the server?

[fringe bloom]

Plz add a double jump as a part of default movement (not a gadget) for every class. it would actually be incredibly balanced if you think about it and it would give way for more map creativity and would still fit well with the maps we have so far.

Sword Rework
1 - remove the camera "lock" or at least increase it to 90° horizontally
2 - either remove multi hit or decrease basic attack damage

Feedback :
The sword is actually not fun anymore, the movement is clunky and unatural, le camera lock give nausea and you feel restricted like if it was a bug

The damage on left clic is way too high, with this bugged mobility, the sword became a left clic lord when you just dash in the melee and spam left clic doing stupid damage

Sword is in a weird spot, the damage buff it got makes it more easy too use and accessible, but it's skill cap with reduced mobility doesn't make it fun neither intersting too play.
It's a begginer friendly weapon when you want to unplug your brain and spam, but for old sword mains the high adrenaline we are searching in The Finals does not exit in sword anymore.

Opinion :
I'd prefer a low damage sword but with fun mechanics / mobility, then a spaming left clic weapon with no skill to use

Make The Finals's Sword a high skilled weapon, making the game a hard but rewarding gameplay, and not a Roblox minigame

New map when? You guys from Embark refused to play Kyoto at the closed qualifiers. Is Kyoto really that trash!!??!!??

Apparently not even you guys like it but we still have to play ranked matches on it daily.

Re-work Kyoto again if possible; add more buildings so it doesn't feel like we are fighting in an open area the size of an airport maybe? I don't know.

But you know as well that's a boring and bad map, why wouldn't you play it at the qualifiers if it wasn't?

Please add more buildings to the map. I know you want to conserve the water part but nobody needs it... please add more tall buildings to Kyoto on to top part and bottom part as well🙏

Thanks for reading👍
Good luck in ranked peoples👍 👍 👍

[compact hill]

Do some matchmaking, damn it!!!
I can't play with people at my level. Do I really have to play with people ranked Emerald, Diamond, Ruby, etc.? I'm stuck in silver because I only get matched with level 10 players who are bronze, but if there isn't at least one opponent ranked above platinum, I think the server crashes???

Guys, someone who was diamond last season has no business being in a fucking lobby with bronze players.

It's crazy how matchmaking ruins the whole gaming experience, and God knows how much I love The Final.

[frank gull]

Embark
thank you for the most Evolutionary F.P.s out.
I do believe what you created with the Cash Out game mode was ingenious.
You managed to do what no other developer could, make the next evolution in Fps. Since P.U.B.G the battle Royale was in desperate need of something new.
For that I can't say enough how much I appreciate your work, & time.
Thank you.

These are Some quality of life updates I'd love, & I think the community might like.

1. The Zipline tablet should be retired imo
   I think the weapon displayed would be a much better gadget, if you look at the video it displays how awkward looking for a place to put the Zipline pole can b
   A spear hook that automatically attaches to the player deploying the line would b a much more functional, & practical gadget. Imo
   Adding the ability 2 "recall" a line should b implemented since the poles won't be destroyable anymore. (*It be nice if you could call back Jump pads too)

• if you aren't going to add the ability 2 call back mobility, I believe reversing the cool down time for those 2 gadgets is Long overdue.
  Respectfully

2. I noticed when a Data reshaper targets Abby it creates a bubble, it'd be nice if it could do the same but on a smaller scale for other gadgets closely together, I know you can line up the projectile to hit multiple items, but sometimes it'll just completely miss what should have been a ComBo

Now that the light class is done Tra uma dumping that they can't wipe a squad with a heal beam, & Defib, & done acting like that utility makes the game worse for being in the game.
Let's discuss & observe how
"The Infuser was still slightly outperforming other healing items"
Which... slightly is as big of a miscalculation as pairing the Cl-40 with the same risk & reward as the A.k & Scar... (if you bring that event back pls reconsider making the reward $0 for that brain Dea. d automatic RPG)

The H infuser can essentially & effectively act as mediums most complained about, & controversial specialization *Heal B, & Defib"
*Yes it's basically a Free revive, get out of jail free gadget if it can take you from 1 shot (dead) to full health faster than you can prime a Defib...
&
More functional & practical since you don't have to worry about the 3D loading screen emitter, or the Defib sickness that almost essentially makes you a free Elim, If of course the medic doesn't get deleted first trying to move the statue, effectively giving the enemy team Their back in the process, or even better, willingly choosing to pawn sacrifice themselves, & yourself...
However,
I'm not part of the nerf crowd, I'd rather see you add utility to make counter plays.

The specialization is still no match for the 2 in 1 gadget.
I started using the Heal B for the first time since S3 & here are some things I think would make the specialization out perform the gadgets.

I noticed that the heal beam limit is 13 M, but won't connect unless you're 10 m from a teammate.
3). I believe the specialization should be superior in range making the max distance 15 M but only connect if you're within 13 M
Additionally
I believe the beam shouldn't be cut off by walls, however this doesn't mean you can make an initial connection if there is a wall between you & contestant. Only that it Will stay connected until turned off, or out of range.

• the H infuser, is just Superior thanks to the speed & the Heal ball, Chuck, is just much more convenient allowing the user to use a weapon while healing themselves (& two other teammates...)
  Also it's Heals reserve from what I understand is only limited to it's actual destruction...

The specialization just barely outshines the two gadgets in a few minuscule areas but in none that really counts.
That's why most people don't run the specialization effectively, or at a high level & opted out of support to run Mobility.
Nothing about the DeMat was O.P.

[pearl bramble]

Suggestion regarding Lava Luster skin on the Flamethrower:
I really love the effect of a weapon "scorching" as you hold down the trigger, that's the reason I bought the skin. However, I've noticed that the effect takes way longer to show than on the other weapons that share this skin (AKM and XP for Light). My suggestion is to simply make it "burn and scorch" faster, in line with the other weapons. It's kind of funny how an actual fire based weapon takes slower to "heat up" than other primaries.

[sharp herald]

Please make enemy footsteps much louder

[ionic viper]

this is a peak idea

[honest wing]

i dont use the p90 but can it not sound like a pea shooter, it sounds like its blowing raspberries, stargate has a convincing sound for the gun if you want reference

[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 club jersey, hoodie, 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.

[rough igloo]

4v4v4 & 4v4v4v4 mode pls

[edgy wyvern]

It's probably me clicking away things too fast, but sometimes after World Tour or Ranked, I don't see how many points I gained. I run into this issue very frequently. Maybe the screen for gaining points could look more unique and this way "feel" more rewarding

[safe ravine]

I want to emphasize this once again. And lowkey add that something in the sort of cod zombies could be so cool in this game, just senseless killing and surviving would kind of be a really fun addition to game, when u don't feel like sweating and/or play competitively. Even if it means no destruction. This game is so focused on destruction, that even disabling destruction in a map would make it feel fresh. Think about it Embark.
I really think this would be nice for player retention, especially for the ones after a 9-5 that wanna have fun.

I understand you focused on the competitive aspect of the game for this season because of the Major coming up. But please think about all my bulletpoints above.
Much love Embark ❤️

[bitter slate]

Disagree. Embark please don’t touch p90. It’s so fun to use and very well balanced

(Spitfire) Fast fanning revolver with 🔥incendiary bullets for light class but only in hipfire and slower precise shots when aiming.
Interesting tradeoff for speed hipfire in close range Vs slower aim accuracy.
It should have very good range.

[tacit whale]

Can we add an extra bullet to the BFR revolver, it’s strange only having 5 bullets instead of the standard 6.

[untold hazel]

loving the game and what yall doing with arc raiders

[high wing]

Disappointed by S8. New features are nice, but you've ignored the fundamental issues since release. The game feels like it's built on a crumbling foundation.

🗣️ Fundamentally Anti-Social & Lacking Data: The game actively prevents community building and self-improvement.

No LFG, DMs, or open parties makes finding teammates a chore outside the game.
No Match History or Career Pages. This makes it impossible to track our performance over time, review past games, or learn from friends and rivals.
Friend status remains useless for any real-time coordination.

⚙️ Missing Basic QoL: These aren't nice-to-haves; they are standard features that impact every match.

No Ping indicator
No numerical weapon stats
No per-contestant keybinds
The input queue still causes frustrating missed inputs and abilities in critical moments.

⚠️ Critical Gameplay Flaws:

Netcode/Hit Reg: Unacceptable. Still constantly dying far behind cover after leaving line of sight.
Ranked System: The awful RS system rewards last-minute griefing over consistent performance, making most of the match feel pointless. Tie RS gain to in-game cash earned to reward skill and create underdog bonuses.
Still no ranked solo queue.
Respawn Logic: Still broken. Adding more spawns doesn't fix the core logic of enemies appearing between a defending team and the cashout.
Audio Bugs: Game-breaking audio bugs like silent footsteps and incorrect directional cues persist, ruining competitive integrity.
Balance: The passive healing meta was buffed, not nerfed, further reducing the skill gap and slowing down fights.

💳 Predatory Monetization:

Still no local currency pricing or direct buy. Forcing players to buy Multibucks first is an anti-consumer practice that feels disrespectful to the player base.

Please, show the community you're listening. Prioritize fixing the core experience.

[rotund rapids]

Get rid of the Tournament 'Easy, Intermediate, Challenging' It means wank all. Your entire game system works around boosting people that do not deserve to be in a higher rank INTO higher ranks because players are more inclined to grief the better players to allow worse ones in.

The fact you didn't care enough to fix this or simply do not understand the matchmaking system is honestly shocking.

[slender pine]

BFR is overtuned

Winch is still OP

Melees are ass

[dense ocean]

High-Rank Issue + Suggestion:
At higher ranks, most skilled players have memorized the spawn points, which creates a problem: they start shooting the moment you respawn after a team wipe.

To address this, I suggest introducing a team voting system: after a wipe, the defeated team could choose their respawn zone from several possible locations. This would help reduce predictable respawns and limit high-ground camping.

[torpid scarab]

MAKE THE KS-23 EXPLOSIVE RAAAH WITH DAMAGE FALL OFF, BUT WITH COMPLEMENTARY EXPLOSIVE RADIUS RAAAAAAAH

https://youtu.be/zesdXj0oLQQ?si=MLa8aO6qSB0PIWBc

[dusky rose]

how about i stop getting the same potato team back to back to back when im figthing rubys

[white crater]

Somebody posted an idea on Reddit, but it wasn't balanced at all, so and after thinking about how to make the concept work within the current mechanics of the game this is what I came up with:

Medium Specialization
Gas Gun (GG)

Press the specialization button to equip the GG. While equipped you can spray puffs of lingering gas within melee range. GG's cloud interactions behaves the same as normal green gas. The GG disperses gas the size of a couple goo blobs, directly in front of the player.
If the devs wanted to have the option to tinker with the damage and duration (to make it last longer and do less damage, or vice versa), they could color the gas yellow to differentiate it. If not the clouds would be the normal green.

This spec doesn't invalidate the gas grenade/mines/barrels because with this spec, you get the ability to "paint" gas exactly where you want it, for the cost of needing to do it at melee range. Grenades have range & mines/barrels you can be AFK.

Due to these mechanics, this also means you can't push and use it aggressively like a "flamethrower" — as if you chase somebody, you will be walking into the gas yourself.

So ideally you'd use this defensively like you would a goo gun. You could poof puffs of it in windows and doorways, or strafe a circle of it around the cashout. You could trail it behind you while running away with the cash box. You could use the hit markers as a "sensor".

[rigid wind]

One thing I would like the legacy battle passes to have is to not be time limited for those that bought it in that season and also still have the bonus page for those who bought it in that season because you were literally there
Sometimes people don't have time to finish the whole ass bp and if you're gonna give me a chance to finish it again then I should be able to get the bonus page stuff too

[frozen tree]

A lot of these are good complaints (like the lack numerical weapon stats and netcode/hitreg issues) but some are kinda stupid.

For example, no LFG? There’s literally LFG channels in this discord. We also do have a career page that shows things like games played and wins, but I do think getting a match history would be nice.

The real kicker is “Predatory Monetization”. This game has one of the best monetization systems of all time, and while you do have a valid complaint about local currency pricing I think the whole buying multibucks first thing is fine, especially when you can also profit off the bp and therefore buy something else with any leftover multibucks.

[inner gazelle]

Regarding the new “Stay With Team” feature after a match is over: Can a distinct sound effect play and / or a visual effect occur when someone presses the button to stay with team so that it gets my attention? Most of the time I forget about even checking the corner of my screen to see if anyone has selected the option, so something to grab my attention would be nice. On top of that, I’m not even sure how to tell if people have chosen to stay with team or not… is it supposed to show a check mark if they have?

[solemn fulcrum]

Man give back Bank It. TDM literally doesn't fit this game

[dull kindle]

man give back terminal attack, or come up with another 5 player mode thats not total hell

[random flicker]

fyi if the floors state changes you will no longer cap the point because this game has the worst devs ever

[static vale]

it just isnt the strongest class like what? use cl, flame, db, sledge, mgl (if you can), pike, famas, shak, sa12, sniper, cerb, riot (50/50), p90, literally winch = intant win if your competent and not using mgl

ima be real as a light main just see me first and you win ez

"oh well cloak" flame exists

lights fine
just be able to aim or play a 'no skill' weapon or mines

@quick echo they cant really buff it or it would be a bit broken so they would have to rework it so its actually balanced

[viral prism]

Got 2nd in a tournament and didn’t get my rs for it because the data didn’t sync, idk what else to say. This happens way too often on this game

[thorny lynx]

Thanks for fixing stuff.

[small ivy]

Hello, Embark team! I'm asking you to add a critical hit for shotguns. You can add a critical hit when all pellets hit the target. I'm not asking for a full critical hit that would increase damage, but rather a visual critical hit that would deal the same damage (108 for the model1887) as in the current game. This will help you understand whether you've done maximum damage and will also help with headshot challenges. This won't disrupt the game's balance in any way. And sometimes, when you kill someone, you just want to hear that satisfying headshot sound 🙂

[gritty jetty]

[cosmic acorn]

OK.. ere me out.. I had a random thought and had to ask! We have a flame thrower... We have a goo Gun.. Any chance of a gas spreader? Like the flame thrower but it lingers and spreads faster?

[boreal lava]

There's a lot of people unaware or not interested in discord, and I've seen other games introduce in game LFG to a lot of success. Making it an in-game feature tends to lower the amount of friction to people who just want cooperation from team mates - not requiring additional services, logins, etc to do so just means more people get to have that experience. Could they just use discord? Of course. But adding it to in game means more people are aware of the option, and don't need to jump through several onboarding hurdles to get there.

I think it would just be good for the over all health of the game.

[craggy nova]

I had hope when they said they are working on kernel level anti cheat it’s a joke. Just lost a ranked game to 2 cheaters in different bracket, I’m level 101, I have 8k + wins kill count 90k plus, 30k plus res, my teammates I got in game, 200 kills each, both of them, less than 100 wins. I played a challenging game, I gave up on ranked in season 4 coz of hackers. I’m done. Now. They proved it by participating in esports as a stack you can’t win against them. I’m done with this shit. Same will happen with arc raiders. I love embark, thanks for creating the most awesome game in the world. I’m from Asian I play in asia. Total no. Of cheaters I found in NA server to this day is 4, in asia, I can’t count it it’s too many. I’ll stick with rpg games. pls stop giving false hope to people by saying u can stop hackers, when u can’t.

[torpid quarry]

Add a new 5v5 objective mode

[rugged ginkgo]

Counting head2head and quick cash as separate modes is cheating, boring, and repetitive. Just combine them and add an option each time you start to queue up to face one team or 2 teams and bring in a different mode that’s actually unique

[dapper drum]

Can we please get a fix for the on-screen keyboard on PlayStation (and I'm guessing Xbox)?

It's frustrating how often you can't finish typing something because what's on screen changed.

All text gets deleted and that just doesn't make sense to do.

Same for when you're changing gear while dead, if the teammate that's on screen dies you have to start over.

[hallow relic]

Xbox has it too but its the system keybord and not them so Embark cannot Change this without the Sony or Microsoft ( sorry for my bad English )

[royal jewel]

this would turn the game into third party city

[ornate hull]

stay a a team was a great addition, but can we also get a "never get this team again" button, sometimes you have zero synergy with people and matchmaking throws you in the same squad multiple times in a row

[kindred hull]

Embark I am once again asking for you to advertise this game

[boreal wagon]

ok actually though, we disable light gadgets twice now.
one because it was bugged and it gave a disadvantage TO THE USER
one because it was "too strong" and netted "free kills"

Winch is INSANELY buggy hooking people through walls, turning them immune to damage from the person they winched sometimes and it's literally stungun but 100x better and it's still not disabled...?

How many more seasons are we gonna have to play where winch is the only spec in the game for heavies?

[tropic parcel]

I can't play and found this error.how i can fix it? TFSS0007

nerf winch please

[proud plinth]

thank you for nerfing demat, and buffing tower, amazing gameplay being shot by something that auto aims. Good thing you are catering to handicaps that want to play

[spark verge]

alr nerf winch

[lament talon]

I think a better way would be that you cant hook through mesh shield but that you can through dome. With that mesh is in the picture again

[proven crown]

If meleeing a railing destroys it - dash should as well.

I think being able to dash through weak objects like glass would make a ton of sense and be a lot friendlier to new players

[nova mica]

He fired it when you were right in front of him, you can literally see it.

Your momentum overpowered the winch for a second so you get behind him but you can literally see the winch shoot out when you are directly 1 inch in front of him of course it hit you

[bold stag]

winch is litterly a cheatcode for heavy, it is the only specialistation which controles you completely when grabbed ( goo gun does it a bit but doesnt yeet you to an opponent) and there is no other specialisation that does that, every other specialisation is either supportive or can do indirect damage to an other player, i think it shoudnt never be added in the first place.

[sterile canopy]

Complaining about the turret buff? The thing has so many counters it's not really usable outside of silver.

[sonic arrow]

Give the pike its 2x headshot multiplier back

come on guys, we were this close to balancing this gun after 4 long seasons of tossing it back and forth across the balance scene (meta, garbage, meta, garbage), and this unintended change, for the first time, put pike in a BALANCED SPOT.

the reduced body damage, new sight, and 2x headshot mult. finally gave the weapon the "head tapping" skill expression method that pretty much every semi auto weapon in the game has, and now that that's gone its back to being garbage.

I thought we would have learned how to handle pike after 4 seasons, but this just makes you guys look incapable.

[sick brook]

I don't know if this had been said prior because I am not really in here like that but I was just thinking the other day, besides when a new season releases I always have like 5k VRs at all times. I thought maybe another use for them is for like when you're progressing weapon skins, if you have 5k or like even a less amount the earlier the weapon level, you could use them to increase the weapon level making getting level 6 or 12 on your favorite weapons more achievable. I at least can speak for myself when I say I have been playing this game since S1 and most of the other weapons that I enjoy using besides my mains, are SUPER low level but I'd like to show them some love too yk?

[bold berry]

Nerf Length of winch, Nerf flamethrower, Nerf shield.. If medium gets surprised its gg..

[proud ruin]

This is bull shit, my game crashes, I get an error code, restart my PC join back up play the last two minutes of the game to obviously lose the ranked tournament, lose 700 RS and on top of it all I then get restricted for 10 minutes as if I abandoned a match

[spare topaz]

I need the devs to stop listening to light players complain about not adapting to in game conditions. "Nerf XXXX because I am a fool who cannot think."

and few of games was full of lags - everybody was teleporting, red borders when you get hurt not showing - everyone in a team were complaining about it 🙁
felt like server could not keep up, as ping was ~30 which is normal

[cobalt kernel]

Nerf Winch Cringe to 10 meter range, lower stun effect drastically, remove second hit on the way back. Make the chain break if the pulled object gets stuck on a ledge or wall. One button press is shaping the whole meta, forcing every Light into Dash to not get instakilled. Worst meta since season 1 with Nukes etc.

Nerf BFR, remove it from the game idc. Heavy should not have long range weapons period

It honestly should have been a Light weapon (see last point w iron sights)

Nerf Dome shield, should block all damage from all sides

Reduce max amount of Pyro mines carried to ONE, just like the other types

Buff Medium Revolver range

Buff Reshaper recharge time greatly

Increase HP of gravity Vortex to 50, so it cannot be melee one shot

Buff Pyro grenade AOE

Buff XP54 reload time

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

Give Iron sights to sniper and increase hitscan range by 10 meters

Let us switch scopes in the pregame lobby (and practice range obviously!)

BRING BACK BANK IT

[supple mortar]

Please revert sword to s1

[hallow oar]

Buff sword horizontal
clamp to 90⁰ increase super dash hit box to 13m or revert to s1, also a goated solution to the sword problems

[mossy cape]

bring back thermal

[coral seal]

embark please rework the new matchmaking its totally unfun, unfair and doesnt even work im still getting qued against stacks even diamond ranked stacks in wt while im solo qing while getting lvl 39 teammates that just got freshly lobotomised

[remote zealot]

Sys Horizon cheese spot for powershift should be fixed

[hearty current]

Yo, i reported that my mouse "sensitivity while aiming" sometimes noticeable changing itself to some random value when i entering new game without "any changes in settings". So i checked further - i tried to switch to my 2nd mouse to avoid "mouse maybe glitching" part- same thing, problem still exists, i also thought - maybe its my hand or whatever, so i jumped into different fps shooter - no issues here - aiming stable and constantly accurate, no issues. I also can confirm that my mouse "sensitivity without aiming" doesn't affected by this bug

[novel trench]

Reenable the option to disable the chat filter please. I’m an adult and can stomach seeing no-no words.

[quick coyote]

Add map voting or a map preference setting.. id rather wait in 20 min queues than ever see Kyoto or Bernal again lol

*also, still don't see playercards anymore with replay disabled

[eternal ermine]

This, absolutely hate moving platforms with a passion

[white anchor]

(Spitfire) Fast fanning revolver with 🔥incendiary bullets for light class but only in hipfire and slower precise shots when aiming.
Interesting tradeoff for speed hipfire in close range Vs slower aim accuracy.
It should have very good range.

[humble plover]

PLEASE EMBARK fix the timer respawn issue. my team was taken out of the fight for a whole minute because of the timer glitching and causing the game to be over. This is redicoulous and counter intuiative to the game.

[mossy crown]

Dude, how about you just go and play Hunt instead of trying to turn other games into Hunt. We get it, Hunt is a cool game. But it's cool because it's unique. Let it stay unique. In the very least, stop reposting the same thing every day. We've seen it...

[copper blaze]

Delete the sniper rifle from the game.
It's not fun to play with, or against.

[iron jetty]

THE FINALS ON MACOS WHEN??

[wet sphinx]

THANK YOU FOR ADDING KBM SUPPORT TO CONSOLE

[hazy mountain]

Buff the cerby, it’s not fun how you guys over nerf some guns and then over buff others. I suggest making the fire power dmg difference of each wep, less drastic as the game feels so boring when some guns are being used everywhere bc others are just too bad

[coarse scroll]

add goblins please

[bright cargo]

Just a couple weapons to add for next seasons.

Changes:

BFR TITAN should be converted to a Barrett 50. cal sniper.

I believe the community will understand, the BFR is to strong to be a pistol and to easy to control for the damage output.

Barrett 50. Cal Sniper stats:
(Working off of the current BFR stats)

ADS = increase .5 second
hip fire accuracy = increase by 50% (massive hip fire range)
Magazine = Increase +5 (Total of 10 rounds)
Empty reload = 6.6 seconds
Tactical reload = 5.8 seconds
RPM = 230
Damage = keeping the damage the same, massive damage should work for this now since it will be harder to use

Light weapon:

Poison blow dart,
nunchucks,

[brave flame]

REMOVE CL40

WHY IS TS EVEN IN THE GAMMEEEE

also why does titan do so much damage???

[round isle]

Hi guys. Getting tired of the same old format. We need variety modes. The gameplays great, it’s just doing different things now

[leaden shell]

embark pls put a stop to this it really is not fun to play in lobbies like this idc if its casuals or not this makes people want to quit

[civic thistle]

is m11 cloak meta rn

[foggy orbit]

dash not cloak,

[vagrant mortar]

93r and Lh1 are meta on light and arn

[hollow kelp]

add a gadget similar to tracking dart but with a different effect but for medium

[muted owl]

I really enjoyed seasons 6–7, but I don’t know what they’ve done this season, but it feels unplayable for me. The servers have always been a gamble, but this season it’s even worse, similar to how it felt back in seasons 5–6.

On top of that, since the new season update, I’ve lost a lot of FPS. I used to play on the highest possible settings. Last season, I averaged around 260 FPS, but now I’m forced to play on quality/balanced settings and I barely reach 110–120 FPS when loaded in. During fights, it drops to around 70–80 FPS, which makes it impossible to play a FPS game, especially as a light trying to go in and out quickly to play around the enemies.

I sincerely hope you can look into this issue and fix both the FPS and the servers, because in their current state, there’s really no point in playing the game.

[little tapir]

When Mac doesn’t pay $100 for every small patch (even a variable flip that was left out on accident)

[quick echo]

buff riot sheild jk

[violet matrix]

Only 20k plyers 😂😂😂🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮

[versed dagger]

can we publically execute full ruby stacks in casuals?

[hallow turret]

thats actually above average for these types of games, specially if you can apply similar trends to consoles since this is a crossplay game

[vital crown]

The XP-54 needs a buff. The damage is too low, especially at mid-range, and it should be increased by a fair margin. Right now, you can’t even secure kills with it. I love the XP-54, but in its current state, the gun is unusable.

[muted plaza]

no..? the gun is pretty balanced right now

[pale aspen]

There is another 20K on consoles, 40K total. On weekends goes up to 60k - 70k total

[raven garnet]

was just thinking how fucking fun a smoke cloak meta would be. dumb ass dev team

[void osprey]

buff model by 1 damage pls :3 🙏 🤤

[frank gull]

Nothing about the DeMat was O.P.
It was just convenient and straightforward.
There's LOTS of ways you can mess up a heal play, being a good healer takes ALOT of awareness, good tracking, & better decision making.
Just because something is spammed doesn't mean it's overpowered, it's just Meta, or Simple to learn.

I hope you'll reevaluate your balance team decisions, because while they understand the statistics, & utility, they don't understand the Game itself, & the practicality, making for poor evaluations.

"The Dematerializer Specialization has been by far the most picked Specialization and the most winning, across the majority of modes and skill tiers. We never intended any item to see so much usage"
(The hypocrisy when Light is the most picked class, plus S3 rank was a testament to how viable it was in combat. The CoD kids just want something more 2 dimensional)
I'm not sure if you remember but you demolished the support class meta, because the Nepo baby couldn't pop off.
&
Turrets are still too clunky.
They need double the range, half the health, & a few more seconds off the cool down for call back, & pick up time

Not to mention you took out an ENTIRE specialization from the class...
R.I.P Recon Sense
💐
The Demat was the only real specialization that had decent utility, & actually felt more special than a gadget, not to mention a nice break from the medium & heavy class complaining that you couldn't save their life, or have to follow your ace like a mindless drone.

It feels good to have something unique, Heavy specialization allows for Defense, Offense, or even a mix of the 2
Light class is king of Mobility, Flank, & being discreet.

Medium can do a dam good job of following you...
Yawn.
God Forbid triple turret becomes meta.
& Now DeMat Is Mid because it was loved by the community???
L

P.S.
Here's a small tip since you still don't seem to see it after 7 seasons.
Heal B. & Defib encourage coordination, as it's the best way to make the most of those equipment
Medium identity is "Utility & Support"
Coordination isn't overpowered.

I can tell the majority of the community didn't understand that either after complaining 30% wipes were too "High Risk"
At it's heart The Finals is a Royale & The most important rule is don't get wiped.
Your misjudgement of the value of a squad wipe is also why so many teams feel comfortable doubling, there's no real risk being reckless

Instead of encouraging Mediums utility for support you've Nerfed Everything that helps/encourages the team to coordinate
Mobility, Recon, & Meds/Fib
Lastly I hope you'll realize you Caught Lighting in a bottle I hope you'll stop listing to the CoD Kids, or stop trying to be as bare bones as Cs:Go

I know you Really want Light to be the most valuable player, but all you've done is feed into their Ego.(Please listen when I say stop nerfing Utility, & Expect your players to get smarter, I thought you learned this after the terminal disaster S3, but there's nothing wrong with support)
Medium will always be the most valuable player, because support is the most important thing in the game Light can be the Ace, but medium should be the class that focuses on fixing lights Mistakes, & Heavy can be a bit of both Ace & support.

You took Mediums identity & gave to the 2 classes. Now it has nothing that sets it apart.
Gadgets shouldn't be on par with specializations
Medium should be the king of utility (not light)

• Buff Heal B
• Buff Defib
• Revert the cool down on mobility, or allow player's to call back equipment.
  &
  Please stop discriminateing against the medium class.
  Perhaps the nerfs were justifiable S1 - S3 however since the introduction of counter gadgets Heal Ball, Infuser, & lock Bolt, The nerfs to those 3 items are no longer justifiable & have been overlooked & ignored for too long.

[fringe bloom]

would it be possible to add a separate volume slider for sound effects like the airhorn and elimination/assist sound effect

[dark flicker]

yeah defib and demat need to be buffed back also model 1887 my beloved

[proven parcel]

Recon was a bit cringe. Still there was more brawl and do or die moments cuz we weren’t spamming demat and goo nades like some Walmart ah Fortnite dbd pallet looping bullshit. Next shooter with good movement clears.

[hollow sage]

There is an issue in Team Deathmatch where players using some kind of script will join a match using a generic contestant skin, place a turret down, and sit there the whole match. It's already happened to me three times, and this time, it was me and three of them with one other human player. Not cool :/

[simple ether]

This season is so bad.

[jolly frost]

Yes very annoying

[simple glen]

Demat needs a buff close to what it was at before. The whole not being able to see through it for a sec is fine. Maybe add back a charge too

[tight charm]

You really need to separate keyboard, mouse, and console players; they have too much target assistance.

[weak escarp]

I think it would be great if we had a dedicated button for removing items from the emote wheel to make it easier to organise the whole thing

[pearl mica]

<<<<<<<<give us a rank above emerald 1 (emerald mastery) reward would be an emerald token which can be used to purchase a emerald skin u missed from prior season PLEEEEEEAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEE i missed the ak and the flamethrower there is still time in season 8>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[jovial trench]

another season and spawns are somehow the worst theyve ever been. how is it that hard to fix this.... teams spawning directly on one another 10 secs apart

[median bloom]

Ranked is the worse ive ever seen it. Cool you got new players with the new season and all that but there needs to be skill level gap I shouldnt be boarderline plat getting tteamed up with a guy with 8k rs that struggles to use his defibs

[shadow elk]

New Heavy Weapon: Railgun

The Railgun would use the same premise as the minigun, but fill the opposite niche, being suited for long range encounters rather than short.

Similar to the Bow, but much slower, the Railgun would have a linear damage scaling based on the percentage it was held before firing. However, it would also slow your movement more and more as it charges up, too, and even completely immobilize you at high/full charge. Holding it at full charge too long makes it overheat and damage you heavily, like a self-hit RPG does. While charging, it’s incredibly loud and electricity around/inside the barrel would make it easily visible from afar, and very audible from short-mid ranges.

This sort of balancing would force those using it to play around corners, down long sight-lines, and to stay near their teammates for protection. It’d struggle at close ranges in general, or when caught by surprise, like the minigun. The benefits would be its ability to deal devastating damage, maybe able to one-shot at max charge for lights and mediums, and critically injure a heavy. It’d also be great for precise, targeted wall penetration/destructive capabilities at full charge.

Why? Because the Finals is about chaos and trendsetting with new and funky ways to shake up what a shooter can be. While the heavy may be balanced around short range, i think it’d be sick to experiment with breaking the mold and subverting expectations. If light and heavy can steal the medium’s support role, then so too can heavy get a taste of long range precision strikes!

[leaden tangle]

I formed a group with two teammates, one with a slightly lower Elo than me and the other with a very low Elo in ranked play.

Our first four games to obtain rank, and I was the one who got the most kills, support, and objective, I had to beat diamonds or fight my way to the second round. Unfortunately, the coordination with my team was terrible; they didn't have enough concentration or they made several mistakes that I had to try to remedy for the good of everyone. Three difficult tournaments and one medium tournament where we didn't make it past the first round due to their lack of mental agility. The funniest part? I usually get between 5 and 8 kills per round in difficult tournaments and I do my best to play positioned and back up if the situation gets out of control. I'm a main healer and have been in every season. Apparently, my support score, my good K/D ratio, or the contribution to the objective don't matter. The score put me in Bronze 3, the casual player in Silver, and the player with a lower Elo than mine in Gold.

I'm not jealous, because I know I can easily climb if I get better team. But I hate that I've discovered this through teamwork; I used to play Ranked knowing that I shouldn't rely on my gear and should do my best to keep climbing. Now that I know the rating system and how bad it's been at providing ranks, I'm frustrated by how obscure this system is and how it wastes 30 minutes of my time just to keep playing.

Ranked needs a lot of attention to make it a fair experience, beyond the "griefing" (which, honestly, even I've done).

[tacit whale]

BFR should be 6 shots not 5

[nova mica]

Bruh you do not deserve the emerald AKM. That ish took 63 entire tournament wins in 40 days to get.

Back when emerald actually meant something lol.

I managed to grab the Lewis gun, even I don’t think they should give me the AKM

[tawny oak]

FIX THE FUCKING SERVERS

why the hell does the game freeze during the match and then all the damage is off, fux the fucking game, how the fuck are you in season 8 and cant even have good servers, why does the games system and servers fluctuate during the match, some players get killed instantly by weapons and others take more to kill. why is this game so fucking shit with its consistency and deysncs, hwo the hell do you have confidence to say you are epsorts ready when you have done 0 fucking server maintenance things. HOW

HOW DO YOU CHARG $30 FOR SKINS BUT CANT SPEND TIME AND EFFORT INTO THE SERVERS

[shrewd horizon]

Fix the blocking players option, In the first game, a guy (eiweiss2ndonyx) was killing himself and ruining the game for us. I reported and blocked him in the game and on Xbox, but the game matched me with him 3 more times in WT he was just clowning around, killing himself and doing emotes the 4 games

[crisp heart]

1. Add option to DISABLE or weaken the ping targeting assist mechanics. For example, let me ping the enemy because I'm pointing at the enemy instead of pinging the zipline the enemy is remotely nearby
2. Why cant we ping player statues/bodies.... it has been 8 seasons and we still cant ping a downed player with a specific voiceline
3. Add hud safezone because ultrawide monitors (notably 32:9) need the hud to be in a location where its visible instead of off to the side in peripheral vision

[pallid steeple]

I don't understand the direction demat is headed. It feels like it's in a really bad place. Why are you consistently nerfing movement? I don't see any good reason to delay the demat for a second before use, it feels clunky and in general frustrating to use. Can you please stop nerfing movement?

[whole sequoia]

pls revert demat "buff"

[safe zenith]

havent touched this game in months, glad to see its slowly dying.
still cant believe bow is still a thing in the game though, 100+ damage each shot with inf ammo and little to no cooldown

[marble hearth]

Replace head to head with bank it

[wooden atlas]

My wishlist for The Finals:

• Better matchmaking—I’m really not seeing any changes from last season, still a lot of 3-stacks curb-stomping my solo team with two level-30 teammates
• Proper UI grenade indicators
• Better optimization for instant replays, and make them start and end quicker—I really want to use them but they’re just not viable right now
• Revert demat and data reshaper to 3 charges
• Remove dispersion on KS-23 and Deagles; revert KS-23 to projectile-only
• Buff medium shotguns a little; they’re peashooters right now
• Let throwing knives sprint and slide with alt-fire held down like sword and dagger
• Remove sword angle lock, revert damage to 74/140
• Let ARN mag-swap without having to do a full reload (I.e. tap R to swap, hold R to reload)
• Bring back Bank It and Terminal Attack, at least in custom matches
• Add the Parley voice to the Seas the Day set and give it to that set’s owners

And last but not least: give us a Gatling gun skin for minigun! Thanks 🫡

retire this channel and make a more organized and methodical system of garnering feedback. all you'll find here is just the very loud & enthusiastic minority begging for the same changes which for a majority of these i would hardly count as reliable feedback. make a better system for this.

[tranquil galleon]

It's so ridiculous that your outfit affects the usability of vanish bomb, it's basically usless in high elo, especially if you wear anything besides skintight bullshit with no hair

I propose a consistent basic player model during cloak and less visibility when you stand still

I believe this will also help add variety to the light class specs people chose

Yall cant go one minute without adding another weapon that is just a high dmg precision weapon

You really think your playerbase have a hard time aiming to make it the main skill ceiling hu?

[subtle tree]

P90 is currently over powered. Clearly intended to give Medium something to deal with Light a little better, but as it stands it just wins every engagement. Considering only body shots:

M11 vs Medium - 0.9sec TTK
XP54 vs Medium - 1.05sec TTK

P90 vs Light - 0.66sec TTK
P90 vs Medium - 1.13sec TTK

Lights are supposed to be the bursty class, why give Medium a gun designed for a glass cannon? Not super fun to play against. Not suggesting the Medium shouldn't have the option of an SMG, but it's currently far too strong. Even getting the drop on the P90 and opening the engagement, you often just die anyway as the margin is too wide.

Looking at the numbers and considering the headshot multipliers, the P90 is only marginally worse than the XP54 on TTK - 0.04sec slower vs Light, 0.1sec slower vs Medium. The M11 is just a hair better off with the headshot multiplier, but the margin is extremely slim. As it stands the P90 seriously diminishes the value of the Light class TTK.

[royal jewel]

fcar literally has the same ttk vs lights as p90. And p90 also has random bloom even when adsing

[fossil escarp]

Yo Devs, fix your game bro. Sorry, don't want this to come off as completely hostile, however after the game I just had I am furious.

Simply put, the LOCKBOLT NEEDS to either be buffed or its mechanic needs to be improved upon. I don't know who's bright idea it was to have the tether bungee cord but it SHOULD NOT do that. The distance that you hit it should be the only distance the enemy player should be able to move, REGARDLESS of what ability they have.

I say this after getting out of a TDM where I'm a Heavy lockbolting a VERY agile light, assuming their movement is stopped ONLY for them to be able to use a sword and LUNGE PAST THE DISTANCE I'VE SET. That is INFURIATING to play against, especially when Light is already WAY too powerful as is.That is just completely unfair.

Anyways really love the game, admire all the work you guys do, even if I am ranting. I'm just absolutely frustrated rn. Love the game, appreciate it!

[desert bay]

im one more stupid match away from uninstalling this game. Why when I que WT im with silver lvl 32 players up against solo que Ruby and Diamond. Make that make sense

i have a problem

!~Please Embark~!
More game events in World Tour, permanently add the Kaiju event to it, new events is fun in world tour. More double barrel events too as a world tour event. Longer event timers too, just let it run when it starts until the end of the match sometimes.
🪙 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
🎙️ Change replays so it's press to watch rather than auto-watch, i don't need to always see it.
Let us see other players spinning or emoting in the lobby
Let users emoji react to messages in this #game-feedback channel

Wrong. Unless you are in crossplay lobbies, mouse and key is cheating. That's the whole reason why crossplay can be enabled or disabled. If you are on console and don't want to play against people with a clear advantage, then you can disable crossplay. The devs supporting mouse and key on console is just the devs supporting cheating.

I don't care if they want to support it generally. But if you are using mouse and key, you should be forced into crossplay lobbies.

[safe rapids]

Hi! I’ve collected a few ideas that could enrich The Finals both on the cosmetic side and from a business perspective.
Here are my suggestions:

🎁 1. Shared bundles between club members

Many bundles currently include 3 complete skins. It would be great if they could be purchased as a group with club mates: each player pays their share and receives their corresponding skin from the bundle.

🛡 2. More accessory customization

Add elbow and knee pads designed ad hoc for outfits (even individually), possibly themed around sponsors (Ospuze, Alfa Acta, etc.), to increase character customization.

🎭 3. Headwear customization

Some masks/outfits (e.g. Santa Muerte) don’t allow extra decorations. It would be great to add flower crowns, hats or custom decorations on top of masks.

🪆 4. Personalized respawn figurine

Each character, upon respawn, could show their intro pose as a personal figurine. Special effects (gold, bronze, glow) could be added as purchasable or unlockable options.

🔢 5. Custom numbers and names on uniforms

Numbered uniforms always show “99”. Allowing players to choose their own number and add their name on the back would boost personalization.

🐺 6. More low-poly animal masks

Expand the set of low-poly animal masks (fox, wolf, raven…) for a minimal but impactful look.

🏷 7. Custom clan tags and AI commentators

Possibility to add personalized clan names (prefix + root) and have the AI commentators pronounce them. With a database of 500 names + 500 suffixes you could generate thousands of fun combinations.

with love, BunnyMummy

[hollow kelp]

p90 is not even close to being overpowered. unless your fighting close range, which u shouldn't do against an smg most other guns will win almost every fight against a p90. sounds like a skill issue to me

[naive wadi]

GYRO:

In motion sensor function settings. In ZOOM part

We lack SCOPE Sensitivity multiplayer,
We have Zoom. But we dont have separate SCOPE setting. This is important cause You can either have set the current only, ZOOM setting set so it would be possible to shot well while aiming down sight. Or set it so that You could comfortably shot while Aiming with a sniper. SCOPE aiming needs a separate settings. I encounter some Youtubers even talking about that. The lack of this settings hurts. And btw. You guys made the best GYRO friendly game, good job. PS5 player here.

Add hud safezone

[simple ether]

I literally just uninstalled this garbage.
Ever since they added the "Refer a Friend" mechanic, the amount of cheaters in this game has increased to the point that its unplayable anymore. That function has ruined many of games in the past. It should just be called "Refer a cheater" at thisnpoint.

The constant dsync, horrible matchmaking, constant nerfs and no reg issues were bad enough. Add the mass influx of cheaters and the game just isnt fun anymore. And Embark only cares about their "e-SpOrTs pRoS cAmPaiGn". They dont listen to the players who actually fund this game. So dont expect them to fix any of this.

[pliant lichen]

Oh my god an actually good event that makes the movement better as opposed to making it worse (low grav)??? Well done.

[crystal storm]

how about an actual balance patch, this BFR shit is getting old... Heavy should not have a weapon that is this strong to poke with. Also remove winch hook.

Retired from this game atm. Buff the reload time of the AKM and I might come back 😉😅

@south belfry if you think that was the reason then you misunderstood.

AKM isn't even my most used weapon 😅

@sterile canopy My point was I wanted them to lure me back with sth (in a kinda joking way seen by the emojis), and I just used that as an example. Jeez you guys...

[brave plover]

since last saison update, the finals.exe is not longer shwon in the NVIDIA APP!

do server maintenance, remove servers that have poor performance, none of the servers are consistent, why do some have good registration and damage and others are total shit.

how do other players ALWAYS have consistent damage and proper registration but my game freezes and after it goes back to normal all the damage and registration drops. FIX THE FUCKING NORTH AMERICAN SERVERS

[cedar karma]

I think the sniper deserves to get the midair accuracy removed, it's a single shot weapon with a scope with high zoom, if you're somehow able to aim at a target you should be able to hit them

[iron leaf]

Embark, hand on heart: You can’t keep waiting forever with balance patches. The matchmaking isn’t good, the meta is solidifying, more and more people are already frustrated or dropping out entirely, player numbers are declining because you have to counter too much now, and the fun of the game is increasingly losing focus.
You need to act NOW, not later.
You want to be relevant in esports. But with the current state of the game, you’ll end up as relevant as professional Dead by Daylight rather than moving toward Counterstrike.
The game needs to be balanced for such ambitions.
If you can’t do it alone, that’s okay, but please communicate that. Let the community help, or get support from experienced studios or someone else. Establish test servers where we can test changes, provide feedback, and you can gather data and make adjustments before the patch goes live.
I’d really love for Finals to see its 5th birthday, but at this rate, it won’t happen.
You need new players and to win back those who left, but in this state, that’s going to be tough.
New players, in particular, are getting destroyed in Casual by skilled players before they even grasp the basics of the game.
That’s not how you keep them engaged. Our community is shrinking, and it’s becoming completely normal for even Bronze players to have to face Ruby players.
Nobody wants that.

The best FPS game. We need a sticker pack for Telegram. 🫦

[runic shale]

whats witht he rise of no smoke hax in this game. Like so many kill cmas show they dont have smoke ontheirs screen and find me exactly

[true harness]

We can no longer shortcut to view bundles in the contestant customization area, which makes considering buying new items an absolute chore. It would be nice to have that ability back.

[lost radish]

Great hat

[polar shell]

EMBARK: Love that you guys added 'Australia Calling' But why the aqua long-sleeve? Australians always compete wearing Green and Gold, if you could fix this it would be greatly appreciated and no-doubt increase sales... I think some of the other countries might not be quite right either . Love/aXL

[verbal cairn]

queue for 5 minutes still get placed in a crazy disproporitoned lobby i get a guy with 1700kills against 40k kill rubies. its also astounding you guys cant add new guns that arent compeletely shit or overtuned. like tf is that heavy revolver why did it take all the good properties from already existing guns. 98dmg but its gonna be balanced because it only has 5 shots meanwhile it 2 taps me as a light across map the fight against a heavy is over as soon as he hits 1 bullet im forced to retreat.

Also give us the option to see the replay its so jarring to get throw into when important information can be got from watching the after death cam

[dense ocean]

can we bring back this? it's just a cooler skin

[coral axle]

PLEASE COMPILE A VULKAN BINARY FOR THE FINALS.

IT WILL REDUCE CPU OVERHEAD IN THE GAME AND PROVIDE MORE STABILITY.

[cedar eagle]

oof no performance patch this update

[tropic egret]

Stop ignoring sniper on powershift, It's such a fun mode but has gotten so stale with a sniper on each team every round.. It's literally ruining fun for the other 8 contestants with constant hits in the open which powershift is 95% of the time. It's an unfair gun for this specific mode, do. something. at least give it a TRY in an limited time event and have the community decide the future of powershift.

[shadow elk]

Ngl gadget tablet skin options would be neat.

[bold silo]

FIX matchmaking, getting people who are -10k points than you and don't know to walk is killing the game. Random rankings. Its time for a 6 months pause again until game can be playable and fun.

[kindred swift]

For a very long time now when jumping/walking on thin barriers/railings the character gets half stuck and either can't move or moves extremely slow

[dawn dew]

If y'all can please add a badge for season 1 diamond that'd be dope I wish we had always gotten them to begin with

[sudden lake]

i think the M26 Matter should get more legendary skins/a single mythical skin
also disable defibrillator in tdm it is just miserable

[snow quest]

embark please add support score on profile

[sweet ice]

nice

[woeful shoal]

Game api

[split summit]

Add KFC as sponsor

[outer marten]

Where is my Gift Wrapped AK from the beta 😞

[rugged ginkgo]

Disable defib in tdm please I beg. Some idiot always runs around defibbing people in the middle of a brawl

[neat juniper]

Hello I'll like to report a glitch, so basically if you look down as an heavy and run then slide then you'll see your self without a head

[willow seal]

Bro what if you add gun customizable stance in lobby and pre-match it would look sick ngl who agree w me

Like we add stance to hold your gun bc some are cool some not especially FCAR one hand is crazy

[white anchor]

(Spitfire) Fast fanning revolver with 🔥incendiary bullets for light class but only in hipfire and slower precise shots when aiming.
Interesting tradeoff for speed hipfire in close range Vs slower aim accuracy.
It should have very good range.

[worldly thunder]

I believe you can buy the gift-wrapped ak during christmas

[solemn light]

Skill issue. The sniper is BY FAR THE WORST GUN IN THE GAME. It is the ONLY GUN that has the weird delay from distance thing. Shooting from across the map with fcar? Straight. Revolver? Straight. Sniper? Calcukate for drop and horizontal velocity. Insane

[wispy gust]

pike got nerfed too hard

[dawn valve]

BFR needs to go now, most OP thing ever

[cobalt kernel]

I really understand where you are coming from, but i have faith in Embark
Remember that they are very busy with the release of Arc Raiders, also there will most likely be no balance changes before the Major Tournament has not concluded. I expect a big meta shakeup afterwards

NERF WINCH, range to 10m, lower stun drastically

NERF BFR, or remove it from the game (should have been a light class weapon tbh)

NERF DOME SHIELD, should block all damage from all sides

[unkempt cloak]

This would fit better in #1075060148004991067 !

[shut bobcat]

Embark comsetic team i throw idea for you. add Mythic Skin for Sledgehammer like Thor's Hammer. in a shortened version. Not tall version like others skin for Sledgehammer. Shortened version like original Thor Hammer. I think this hammer will look great with Odin's new skin.

[proud plinth]

Sniper is also the only gun that maintains the most damage across range not to mention it has a SCOPE. The view distance on normal sights makes it so it more requires skill to hit shots at distance. The sniper only begins to fall off at 40 meters and that's just for the hit scan. You still deal 118 body and 236 head all the way up to 100m

Using your logic of Revolver, Sniper, and FCAR

BFR: 98 body | 147 head | 45m max range @dawn valve no because this, and also cycling speed, and fire rate. Not to mention the v9s, the overall accuracy and dps of the v9s out performs the BFR unless the BFR can hit a headshot immediately.
R .357: 74 body | 148 head | 44m max range
FCAR: 22 body | 33 head | 40m max range

The sniper clears all of these by far.

[rapid stream]

Remove winch claw

Revert glitch trap into glitch mine (glitch trap sucks to fight)

Rework BFR Titan into another spread shotgun for heavy instead of a sniper (and never add another sniper to heavy again)
