nerf light, buff medium. that BS shotgun need huge nerf, it's so fucking annoying.

[glass cape]

THANKS A LOT FOR FIXING THE PERFORMANCE BUG GUYS

I was really really sad last day. The whole day in my office I acted like a soaky pillow cause I couldn't play my favorite game! Thanks for the prompt response!

[upper citrus]

you get... matched against people of similar skill levels?? this is so unfair why cant i just stomp on people who play the game for 1 hour a week??? that sounds so fun for them!!!

[weak ivy]

new mode had so much potential. had

Revert the distance change on the hud! You can't see how far your teammates are away and it's harder to tell how close the cashbox is to the cashout in some scenarios.

[lavish yoke]

RIGHT!

[snow snow]

The infected mode is a great idea.. in theory. Why have a infected mode if survivors are aiming to kill eachother and the infected? It should be adjusted to a traditional infected mode. I loved the idea of it, but the execution is poor. People are farming kills instead of working to keep survivors alive, it doesn't make sense. Also adding that I was thinking it should be teams at least. Have teams of 4 and when they start killing, it causes them to be infected, which now means the survivor teams are fighting ghouls and other survivor teams. Or just simply randomize 4 people as ghouls and the rest are survivors

[young jetty]

Add pride flags to the finals!

I can’t speak for PC users but on console it is genuinely impossible to hit dash users consistently due to sensitivity.

Dual blades are probably the worst melee in the game rn and definitely need a rebalancing (NOT a buff)

Add a juggling animation for the dual blades!

I’ve already talked about it but sword is actually ridiculous in its current state and desperately needs a nerf. Its combo with evasive dash is actually crazy especially against console players who literally can’t move their camera fast enough.

This is a huge one for me personally as a mainly melee user, a light with evasive dash COMPLETELY counters every single melee in the ENTIRE game shit is actually ridiculous. The only way to fight a dash light with a melee weapon is to use evasive dash as well which should not be the way it is. I’m not saying to nerf it into the ground but please add some kind of counter/option for melee users against dash lights

finally invisibility is incredibly inconsistent across all platforms… PLEASE make it consistent. It should absolutely not under any circumstances make fights rely entirely upon how much money your willing to spend on you gaming system. On ps4 it is GENUINELY invisible while on a newer console/PC it doesn’t even compare. This is by far my biggest gripe about the game in its current state.

Also add goblins to the finals

[west skiff]

Please let us have more than 8 contestants.
9 would be nice so we could have 3 of each class
12 would be ideal, so we could have 4 for each class, covering all 4 heavy specs and presumably two future specs for light and medium

[versed dagger]

could it not have been teams?

anyone else getting this?

[small folio]

whats the point of playing medium when you cant even outrun a heavy. lights two shot you and just dash nonstop to chase you down no matter how far you go. sword is still broken. Medium is the absolute most useless character in this game after all the nerfs but hey lets keep buffing light why not. and why am i playing diamond and up in ranked. my team is legit silver/gold. terrible matchmaking. game got ruined. used to be so good

[cerulean echo]

red barrels are slightly too "bouncy" imo.

nerf winch

[broken fulcrum]

Is anyone having problems with the game taking up too much memory and booting u from games midmatch after this recent update? Also every time i start a game i have like a minute of the worst lag and freezing ever. Ive got an ethernet cable and everything too.

[wooden void]

Is it possible to fix the crows on this emote? With the black crow equipt, it still shows on the emote but with the white one equipt it doesn’t show on the emote

[wide creek]

Brother light hasn't gotten a buff ONCE in the last 3 seasons wdym

Heavy is OP as all hell rn I can agree, but medium is pretty balanced with most light weapons right now.

And REMOVE WINCH EMBARK JESUS CHRIST

[shy fossil]

REMOVE DENUVO, REMOVE DENUVO, REMOVE DENUVO, REMOVE DENUVO, REMOVE DENUVO

[icy marsh]

Also hilarious how the survivors have to fight each other in this LTM. It would be so much more fun if the survivors were on a team. I really don’t understand the point of this current game mode.

[shell lotus]

that new map is straight garbage

[winged hawk]

Small request - a buff to Pike's hipfire so that it feels more comfortable to use in close quarters and closer to its pre-nerf accuracy. While I don't mind it being weaker compared to other fully-automatic weapons in terms of pure point-blank DPS, it feels much riskier to use at close range and sometimes feels a bit random. I prefer Pike having its current damage model remain as is, but it could use a bit more to have better self-defense capabilities in CQC.

[quartz cedar]

Fix PERFORMANCE ISSUES from last update

Getting giga FPS drops and worse frame times
Actually so bad I have to log off and play something else until you fix it

[cold bolt]

can we stop with the Y-shaped vault-cashout layouts in almost every map

[lament walrus]

Big fps drops after last update it’s so ridiculous, they gotta fix that immediately.

[lethal bear]

i got 20s that was fun

[wide vortex]

Giving my daily complaint about winch and lockbolt, could probably say something about the cheaters too but dont wanna waste my words.

[sonic spoke]

Horrible play right now. No fun.

[honest wing]

Literally this is the first time ever I'm getting fps drops

[glacial geyser]

New patch has absolutely ruined the UI

It is repeatedly not showing the damage report when you die. Cashboxes are just not displaying for extended periods of time. Distances are often not showing.

How on earth did they introduce so many bugs?

[thorny lynx]

Honestly, hit reg is worse than it has ever been berfore after last update

[radiant harbor]

And we got griefed out again by the first place team while in second in ranked. Please do something about this. There's no point in playing well in ranked if you don't get first, it's better to have like 0 kills so you get griefed through. So stupid.

[tropic python]

Is anyone’s game super sluggish? Every time I move, the game makes me continue in random directions even when I’m not touching my mouse and keyboard

[rugged willow]

do the devs plan on adding more male voices in the game for customization?

[ionic viper]

L take
@hallow turret nah, reviving made those 5v5 encounters a lot more interesting and helped medium not be a bad class for tdm, as well as letting tdmers get their res contract done in a more casual mode
anyone who says defibbing in tdm is 100% completely bad is clearly inexperienced/lacks skill in the mode

[hallow turret]

he is literally right
removing revives in tdm was something that shouldve been done when the mode was introduced
im still thankful they made the change even if it took a little

[honest talon]

I think a sticky grenade for mediums and lights could be a great counter to add for shotgun/winch heavies. Have the area of effect damage incredibly low so if you miss its punishing but have the stick at even as high as 125. Immediately makes any melee think on their loadout and with medium and light you have the smaller hitbox and movement tools to avoid it along with aps becoming a more favorable option. Heavies then have to play around it and run more ranged if they notice teams are using it. Damage may be overtuned but I’m sure this has a place in the game

[white anchor]

HARPOON FOR LIGHT CLASS
The fast long range projectile sticks to players and surfaces and blows up after a few milliseconds (shorter fuse then thermal bore) and the weapon should have built in scope for long range accuracy,it is more unique then giving light class a thumper.

The projectile is fast but maybe have more of an arc for balance.
Incendiary explosion should have sparks and have fire damage when it falls down on enemies cause at least u need skill and timing.
This isn't used for destruction like thermal bore just fire damage.

[wraith orchid]

im tired of using meta to compete against good enemies. theres actually such a small amount of playable weapons compared to all

[drifting belfry]

add FXAA and MSAA as antialiasing methods would like to know how it fares in this game

[daring remnant]

One pumpkin rotting every day is redundant if you can only earn the same number of pumpkin breakers as there are pumpkins. itd feel less scary to think about if the pumpkins didnt rot and the amount of pumpkins people could break wouldnt change

[remote drift]

Can we pls get a global chat so when I put my kid to bed I can kindly ask everyone to pause for 2-3 minutes until I'm back? 😛

[potent hinge]

seriously, embark, have you tested the new Halloween mode before it's launch, or are you spending more time on arc raider and lower the quality on the finals. I am a player since close beta 2 and this is the first time I am so mad at embark.
first of all, is this game mode hide and seek? if it's not, why is enemy highlight go away after some distance.
second of all, why is goo a gadget for human
third, why is there no any remote weapon for the ghoul
Do you know what my feeling is when 6 people stand on goo together and shoot at me the same time, and THERE'S ONLY ONE IN GHOUL TEAM
Do you know how frustrated I am?
aren't they suppose to shoot each other??? Also, It's impossible to chop down the tree when there's 6 guns aiming at me
what are the intention of this game mode, what are the objectives?
is it hide and seek? trying to turn everyone to ghoul? or shoot everyone that's in sight
come on embark, don't disappoint me

[covert dagger]

No wiggle room between the amount of days the event lasts and the amount of days you need to play to get the event rewards is so weird it starts to feel pretty anti-player. It's Halloween, should invoke a feeling a fun and joy, so telling any player that can't devote every single day of a two week span to getting on and playing or else they can't earn enough of the pumpkins to get the final reward feels off putting to say the least. Think I'm gonna be able to get on each day but feel pretty bad for other people that have to deal with such weirdly and needlessly strict parameters to get rewards for a seasonal event

[broken geyser]

Is there something wrong with controller toggle to sprint. Because eveytime my momentum is called after a jump or vaulting animation, my character stops sprinting despite me not pressing the toggle button. Can't it be more like when u toggle it on u keep sprinting regardless of obstacles or if ur momentum is killed, and stop sprinting when u toggle it off.

[waxen plank]

hey guys, is it normal that I never see the death recap anymore? is there a setting for this now? I just see player card which I don't care about

[wintry vine]

The sword needs a nerf. People are definitely exaggerating how easy it is to kill a light with a sword. As a heavy by the time they're at me they're usually not dead they usually start at around 6-8 meters can dash up to you and once they're in range they don't have to aim at all and a few slices and you're dead. I find myself needing teammates to help me out to get the kill before they're on top of me and I'm dead. It's the most unfair melee by far except for the riot shield.

I can literally equip a sword and do similar things that are done to me because it's just so easy to use a weapon that strong. If dash is nerfed we can talk about keeping the sword like this.

Maybe if you're a BFR user and can instantly 2 tap them it's no issue but with something like a shak or some mid range gun like the akimbos, Lewis gun, m60 good luck.

People just don't want the best melee weapon nerfed so they go "it's balanced just kill the light".

[shrewd echo]

I operate on verbal communication, this typing of words doesn't get the point across that the finals needs better autocannons and autocannon accessories. Now my turret fires fast, but you lube that up with French fry oil and give it a spin, you have autocannon capabilities. If Embark could add McDonald French fry grease to the game so my turret can become autocannon, I would be indebted.

[lost sapphire]

nerf BFR's effective range and dmg heavy should never have a strong ranged option

[twin helm]

CAN I GET THE ABILITY TO INSTA SKIP THE MATCH RESULTS

[pine garden]

I got one super small QoL UI change that would go a long way into making some aspects of the game easier for us solo queue people. Change the Skull icon to a "disconnected" style icon (the one shown next to teammates hp) if they either leave the match or Disconnect. This way you don't accidentally spend cruical moments trying to desperately look around to rez someone that's no longer in game. Cause otherwise it jus looks like they got eliminated an are waiting on revive unless you hit tab.

[quick coyote]

If we made it like overwatch, there would be public matches where we can custom make rounds wuth infinate time and have chill rounds and do skin competitions

[solid spindle]

i have officially uninstalled this garbage game.

[haughty mica]

unplayable gaem

[woven compass]

i will have to uninstall too if they don't find a solution to this ear piercing crowd driving me insane shouting all the time

[bold stag]

the winch is killing the game. let me explain in a different way. let me start from the beginning, to be clear, im not trying to be an a-hole, im just explaining in detail so i can make my point. a game is only a game if people agree on a set of rules, the finals, is a shooter, which has movement, 3 different classes and specializations and gadgets. the idea of all the specialization, before the winch was added were very balanced on paper except recon vision, every specialization had a support function or indirectly useble against your opponent. Then winch came, which is a "direct" specialization. And because winch is directly usable to an opponent, it instanly has a benefit over every class, because you can be in control of somebody else the moment you grab somebody. So, the rule which has been broken is the rule of indirectly. indirectly also means that there is a part of skill you need to use it against the opponent, demat is something the player could use to flank, but then the player still has to aim his weapon or can be used to flee, turrent is just understanding where to put it down and in that moment its out of your control or use it to distract people, every light specialization requires understanding and learning how to use it indirectly to an opponent, charge and slam, you still have to aim, you can use it to flee, create destruction and it doesnt control your opponent with goo gun the player still has to aim, so because you have to aim it makes it harder to slow down people and when a player gets goo'ed, he still has a way to flee and or able to shoot, shield is a supportive class to protect the player himself or his teammates. which is all indirectly and supportive. Winch can be supportive, but controlles the player when grabbed, so remove it.

[hazy mountain]

Buff the cerberus, fire damage atleast a little bit pls. The gun is just too weak

[cobalt kernel]

Castrate Winch!! Range to 10m or less, reduce stun duration by 60 %, remove hitbox on retraction, make chain break if object gets stuck on wall. Either do all of this or straight of vault it. Most toxic overpowered freekill gadget in any game i ever played..

Remove BFR from game, or move to Light class (where it belongs) with lower fire rate
Heavy should NEVER be able to outgun every other ranged weapon in the game

Nerf dome shield already! How does it not block all damage from all sides?

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

I understand you can't do it before the Major is over, but i am uninstalling if it's not the first thing you patch after it's concluded!

Buff Reshaper recharge time

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

Increase Vortex HP to 50, so it cant be melee 1 shot

Buff Pyro grenade AOE

Buff r357 range

Buff Xp54 reload

Player numbers dropping fast this season, which is a shame after 3 seasons of steady growth. New players come in get winched a couple of times and blasted in the face without slightest chance of survival.. and never come back. Old players uninstalling for similar reasons, after all it has been 5 Seasons of Winch/heavy dominance with no end in sight

In it's current form the Finals is a low skill gadget spamming Circus 🤡 🎪 🐘 🎈but definitely NOT a competitive shooter

Hi guys! Good day!

I need your help regarding an error in game.

Context:
Game: The Finals
Error: (Please check the photo and copy paste excerpt below).
Story: The game has been crashing a lot in the last 2 weeks to the point where it is unplayable. The game crashes quite frequently at random moments. Some times during a match, sometimes while just in the menu.
Steps to replicate: Impossible to replicate as i could not see any logic in the moments before the crash. No visual effects or no particular action in game seemed repetitive to notice a pattern. It is just random.

Every single time after the game crashes, i get a Discovery Crash Reporter window. That is how i have ended up here to ask for your help!

REMOVE FLAME THROWERS AND GRENADE LAUNCHER. seriously pls. + low fps since the new update

[ivory plover]

I've been told to go here on Reddit. Hopefully, the issue can be resolved. That's the issue I want to bring up, too. Was playing with a friend yesterday, everything was like usual, 60-75 FPS on my laptop in game on mostly Low settings (RTX3060 Laptop GPU, Ryzen 7 5800H, 16GB RAM). Today I download the hotfix, enter the game and there are constant stutters every 3 or so seconds, the CPU is working 120% just in the menu and I am literally afraid for my laptop to boot up an actual game. I go and update the Nvidia GPU driver, maybe that's the case. Apparently, it's not. Same thing when I log in after the update. I go on Reddit, and people are talking about the DENUVO anti-cheat. Welp, that tells me a lot. I love this game, but unfortunately I'm probably leaving because of this.

[pine raft]

the least competitive competitive game, joke matchmaking, solo unplayable, just delete ranked and focus on making ur passion skins because thats what u handle, not creating a competitive environment

[hazy shore]

Make ranked have a seperate q for pc and console. they shouldnt be in the same lobby in ranked. Aim assist isnt strong in this game but its hard to take ranked seriously at all with both inputs. idc if the Q's get longer, i would much rather have a longer q but a fair/balanced ranked game than have fast q's but the games are just a pendulum of unpredictability

[limpid bay]

might be a new fav hobby of mine, crazy how many people just are whining* and not proposing any sort of alternative to the games issues if they are even real issues half the time

U can choose to toggle off crossplay im pretty sure... at least for pc

my man I tried controller and my aim followed a dash light on its own and I nearly tweaked, but I don't disagree that input based matchmaking would be nice.

[glad spruce]

Day 2 of asking the devs to balance the game in favor of casual players instead of the 5% competitive players

[rancid ridge]

You should start considering people who are busy or have jobs. I missed the pumpkin yesterday cause i was busy all day and now i cant get the full set from the event just cause of that one day. I hope i can at least buy the last item i'm missing cause if not that will be very dissapointing from y'all. If it was a wheel and i didn't get one id be ok cause then i knew it just wasn't my lucky day i guess, but when you make an event that requires you to log in and play every day to get all the items that's just not well thought out. At least do it like Fortnite where you can open rewards from previous days.

[vernal sigil]

should've changed this channel name to "game-ramble"

[heavy gazelle]

The pumpkins being your choice prevents you from definitely losing a reward, it means that even if you miss a day you can still get all the better items

Contract feed back

Halloween

• The new Halloween contracts are much better than the random and greedy wheel we were used to.
• The Halloween contracts aren't based on the Hallowwen game mode, which is awesome! Tying them to the dailies makes so much more sense, as you can still play the mini game for fun or play as you like without missing out on the Halloween rewards. Much more thoughtful.
• The Halloween rewards have to be completed each day if you want it all. Maybe add some wiggle room of like 3-7 days extra? Would be more thoughtful in regards to the casuals who I guess makes up for most of your earnings. Cater to them.

Sponsors

• Contracts based on the team is better than the solo based ones. I'm thinking about the "insert the cash box", "make a steal" and "move the platform 100m" should be as a team and not as an individual. They should promote team play and not ego play.
  Contracts like eliminations, structural dmg, revives and so on are to stay solo. They promote team play and focus as well.
• The contract where you need to hit opponents with arena carriables or cash box should be team based or removed as it is a niche .. imho. Such a contract has to come on the first sponsor so there's plenty of time for it to happen during the season.
• The contract to earn 45000 or more in a ranked or world tour gotta come early in a season too to keep it from being a negative wall for those who rarely do well.

I seem to notice more team based contracts, thanks 🙂

[twin slate]

reduce flamethrower range

[polar yacht]

if yall think arc raiders will be good rethink that cause they are not fixing what ever is happening to this game they rather buff stuff that already is op then they have the audacity to nerf medium and heavy -_- talk about balancing this game used to be so good back when it was seasons 1 to 4 then well it basically started becoming shit when you added kyoto if anything you just gonne lose more players by making one class really op you cant just nerf lights just once ONCE!!!
watch next patch will say "lights get an extra dash and swords can one hit each class"
then proceed to nerf the other 2 classes
bruh i like this game but yall are ruining this game, your basically digging a grave for this game atleast fix this game before you make another game to ruin
and flame thrower has a short range already just play your distance and stop pushing especially if they have winch its common sense

Now here's a thing, there is so many fucking thing about cheating w hardware, like dma , its the most hardest to banned because its masking the main device right? I know its hard, we all know that the cheaters will always be 1 step ahead from the developers,

But lets say, there so many guys right there, even in a top 500 is using aim zenix, cronus, and leadjoy, and so many 3rd party hardware that can be used for using script and aimbot for this fuckin game, try to fix that first.

There is one thing that i notice is, we know that its not a headshot aimbot, sometimes its soft or it has godlike Aim assist. I believe you can so please consider that.

Match making? Please separate the plats with rubies!
Goddamit like how!!? I know im good but it doesnt mean that every fucking time i go for matchmaking i meet rubies, especially on asia where there is a fucking club is a cheater like dmpro or oasis. Like bro cmon!? Dmpro is from season 1 dude!!? Like they literally cheating, from season 1 bro, from season 1!!!! Since this fucking game start, or maybe beta if i didnt know!? R u fucking kidding me?!

Call me skill issue, yes i am!? Yeah im not really good or maybe i dont deserve a good player title

But here's a thing

IM NOT CHEATING🫡

Edit : fix your sever brooooo

[safe pivot]

I think it would be really cool to have the hair style known as "Space Buns"

[sweet night]

its imposibel to do anything against hackers, it will be even worse in arc raiders. and got another idea for the "the finals" game: defend base against drones, PVE mode, where you get attacked by drones and robot ai like the ones in arc game and you have to defend your base.

[brave copper]

You might need to open the game and leave it in the main menu for a bit. Sometimes after updates you'll have to precompile shaders again (which lines up with your high cpu usage).

The heavy anticheat was added a while back, it wouldn't be the reason your game is stuttering after the most recent hot fix.

Also the community expressed skepticism over denuvo and embarks responded by saying they'll be monitoring the performance impact. Thats just to say maybe they'll remove it if it has widespread performance impacts.

[smoky gust]

im a bit disappointed about ghoul rush

since you cant group up, dying is a lot more up to where zombies randomly spawn, if they happen to spawn near you, youre more likely to die early
with its free for all nature, you can be 3rd partied from every angle, which hinders repositioning
hiding in the tree's with goo is too easy and feels bad to play against
the rewards for being the last survivor can often make trying to catch up seem impossible
winch being on zombie heavies removes the difficulty of zombies getting close with an otherwise lethal weapon, resulting in free kills

i am pretty happy about the contracts though
all effort gets you a reward, instead of a random chance to get a repeat
no chance to randomly miss an item if you just play
the only thing i would have done is adding a few hard contracts that also allow you to harvest a pumpkin, so that if you do miss a day, you have a chance to make up for it with a good challenge

the idea of doing it differently isnt inherently bad, im sure plenty others like it, im glad we got to try it, i just hoped for something else
maybe next year we can get survivors vs zombies, or 2 split factions vs zombies in a more urban environment like monaco or skyway

[fossil copper]

This morning I was gifted the inspection animation for the sword where you set it on fire, only to find that it is incompatable with the sword skin that I use (Liquidation Cut) and while I understand it comes with an animation, I do think players should still be given the freedom to use the animations they purchased with the weapon skins they have purchased

[vivid mirage]

Please add an option to revert the most recent patch hiding cashout distances. Having to aim at each cashout to see distance really messes up the flow of gameplay.

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

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

Nearly wipe a team on the 1st cash. Insert cash. Wipe original team.

3rd team that wiped on the other vault spawns on us and cleans us up, takes out cashout.

Why is the 3rd team given a good spawn for wiping on the opening vault?

[quick coyote]

We need more faces to customize with

[cold bolt]

1. see image, stop these stupid Y-shaped layouts-- the reverse is true too like seoul bridge having cashout on hospital and also the building across meaning you need to pass one cashout to access the other. The fortune iseult grav island too same thing. Please manually remove all such cases.

2. make vault and cashout locations more varied. Almost every map basically only has two sets of vault+cashout locations per wave in knockouts.

You can also ping cloaked targets from across the map so long as you have line of sight (pun not intended) on them. SO in theory, while annoying, if you jus spam ping down open sightlines or in rooms you enter, you can tell if there is a cloaked player. Also if you have "NO AA" set in settings you can see the full model an outline of the invis player WAY easier if either of you are on a different elevation. It's almost like the demat distortion, this coupled with pumping up sharpness on your monitor an now you can jus see any cloaked player plain as day

[pallid patrol]

The current jukebox system really needs improvement. Let me pick individual tracks from each album, make my own playlists, skip or pause music in the bottom left bar, etc.

Friendly reminder to everyone who has purchased or is purchasing an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription in order to get The Finals perks ("A free set", 25% of XP and 500 multibucks). The bundle you purchase (such as Urban Ronin, Scale of Heaven and Stryker Grid) will be removed once your subscription ends, it's better to purchase it directly from the game. I don't know why they didn't specify this type of offer both in the Game Pass perks and in the game itself. But I felt like I wasted my money by buying three months of Ultimate especially because of this offer and having all the items removed.

It’s not even about “technical limits” at this point adding a few more flags is nothing. It’s a choice. They cherrypick which ones get visibility and act like it’s no big deal, but come on… at this point it’s pretty clear who gets representation and who gets quietly filtered out. Lazy? Sure. But also convenient, isn’t it? They should either add all the flags or none of them.
Anyone else bothered by the flags situation?

The game is so unoptimized right now, average 40fps before was 100-120fps

[median yoke]

You’re 100% right I was literally about to write about this myself. I really do love this game, but it’s disappointing to see how they handled this. It would’ve made way more sense if the Stakeholder set had just been priced at $20, and then the two Plague Doctor sets were either combined into one bundle, or if they just released a single skin.

Another option would’ve been to make it so you could switch between the appearances kind of like in arc. I know developing a system like that is a lot of work, but it would’ve felt fairer. At the very least, the Stakeholder set should have been $20, and the Plague Doctor skins could’ve either been combined or designed with more distinction.

For example: one Plague Doctor skin could have an aesthetic where it’s oozing green, sickly, with syringes or something, while the white version could look more like the “healer” equivalent. That way they’d feel unique but still connected.

[wooden atlas]

I have had this same problem, but with a slight variation. I play on a couple of different PCs, and every time I log in on one particular machine, it resets all my customizations. It doesn’t do that on any other computer I have. I thought for a while that it was just a me problem, but if we’re both having it, it’s probably not a fluke

Also reload and inspect sounds should be muffled when invis as well as any other sounds that would be appropriate. I also think the dagger wind up sound should be muffled when invis. Please please please Embark, with sprinkles on top 🫶

[brittle latch]

Perhaps you should be able to glitch grenade jump pads. Or they expire. Perhaps.

[olive fulcrum]

Ghoul Rush has got to be the worst LTM you guys have ever done. It is unbelievably bad, unfun, and nonsensical.
You guys are incredible devs, so I would love to know what happened. The template for zombies/infection is very well known. Lots of different ways to do it.

Making this an FFA between humans makes the whole concept of infection pointless and pidgeon-holed. And an awful map for it too.

I have to assume you are trying to make it as non-frustrating and quick moving as possible while doing away with the need for teams (humans, zombies) to communicate. But in the process there is nothing left but a random mess of a dumbed-down FFA. This is the hottest garbage.

The cosmetics are terrific though. Bought several. :)

[wooden void]

fix ranked currently its not a matter of skill. being second place or best in your lobby is the biggest disadvantage possible you end up getting greifed out by the top team and the last place team along with third helping them both too. what are we meant to do

[autumn sorrel]

That’s kinda the point “Any thing can happen in the Finals”

It what makes matches intense and rewards brains just as much as Gun and Gadget skills

[cold bolt]

nah if 1st and 2nd both won two cashboxes in a row, I say this as kindly as possible, the 3rd and 4th place teams can eat shit and just take the L and fight for 3rd, they don't deserve cheap comeback mechanics that belong in party games, doubled 5&6 needs to be nerfed

if they want a chance at qualifying they should be required to wipe either 1st or 2nd. Make wipes 30% again. 9v3 is stupid and overly rewards 1st and overly punishes 2nd.

[young hamlet]

Lock Winch in the vault just like you did with Recon and Stun gun, why does this take you FIVE seasons to realize? Player numbers dropping hard this season, can you not see the writings on the wall??

Do it immediately once the Major tournament is concluded or watch your game die..

I will not be forced into Evasive Dash as a Light player just because "Winch exists", i want to play Grapple but i can't. Your instankill, gadget spammer meta won't allow it

I had team mates throw the game before it even began because i dared to NOT pick E.Dash in ranked. Yes this is happening, i quote "you throw, I throw". And i can't even blame the guy LOL

Remove BFR from the game, or give it to Light class where it belongs. Heavy has no business out-sniping every other ranged weapon in the game WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??? 🤦‍♂️

Reduce no. Pyro mines to ONE

You need to do ALL of these things in addition to buffing all the "dead gadgets" like Breach charge, Vortex, Data Reshaper, tracking dart, pyro grenade etc..

BRING

BANK IT

Been playing the Finals since beta, but have not touched in like 2 weeks and you can clearly see the players numbers tanking hard this season because you REFUSE TO ACT

[gritty ocean]

** RANKED should 100% be forced LMH comp.** Make it the "esport" "competitive" mode it should be with teams of LMH facing each other. Role-queue will not work with the size of the playerbase so just assign random pick order to the players. Probably good to let the players pre-select their preferred role to let the other people on the team know what they would prefer to play. This will also diffrentiate between WT and ranked since right now they are almost identical.

[white anchor]

HARPOON FOR LIGHT CLASS
The fast long range projectile sticks to players and surfaces and blows up after a few milliseconds (shorter fuse then thermal bore) and the weapon should have built in scope for long range accuracy,it is more unique then giving light class a thumper.

The projectile is fast but maybe have more of an arc for balance.
Incendiary explosion should have sparks and have fire damage when it falls down on enemies cause at least u need skill and timing.
This isn't used for destruction like thermal bore just fire damage.

Charge and slam often seems to consider any airtime to be valid to just use the slam part of charge and slam when you activate it. But this includes things like when you just slide over a slightly raised part of the map only 5 centimetres into the air (which often times even feels like regular movement so you didnt even notice you where in the air). This often times ends up with you doing just the slam part while you actually wished to charge. I think charge and slam could use a metric to check if the player is above a certain height in the air to initiate slam and otherwise just charge. Maybe something around jump height?

I understand the destructible environments probably makes this hard to program. But currently its an annoyance that makes charge and slam less reliable adding another reason on the pile why you would rather pick other specialisations. Ofcourse my suggestion isn't the only solution, but just to bring awareness to this QoL issue with C&S.

[violet kernel]

Cheater issue ? Yes SMURF issue ? CAN we talk about this embark? Its not possible anymore you need to do smthg or your game Will Die there is smurf at each game !

[verbal cairn]

put winch in the vault!

Also stop catering to rubies their queue times as a plat 3 i dont want to see at least 1 ruby/diamond team in every ranked game i play. Sometimes the 2nd round will be 3 ruby/diamond teams and then my plat team. also RS loss should be decreased by like 25%

[warped meteor]

I usually don't reply to other people in this chat, but please stay out of the kitchen. Experimenting with comps is core to the games identity. And random picking someones class for them in ranked is such a bad idea it's delusional.

[peak ermine]

Why am I getting matched vs rubies in Plat 3 lmao

they should make it so the "complete 3 daily quests" quest doesn't reset every day, IE, you complete 5 dailies, get one pumpkin to smash and 2/3 of the way to the next pumpkin

me nor my teammate were able to coin or swap spectator cams halfway through the second round on WT. We were able to type and go to esc menu so it wasnt the keyboard things like alt + tab didnt work and it happened at the same time. Unsure if it was server wide or happened to the 3rd teammate.

esports ready btw

[cobalt kernel]

Nerf Winch into the ground (it's been 5 seasons of this no skill clown show) or just vault it

• Range to 9 - 10 meters

• Reduce stun duration by at least 65 %

• Remove hitbox on retraction and make chain break if object gets stuck anywhere!

• Nerf dome shield finally, should block all damage from all sides

• Reduce number of Pyro mines carriable to ONE, just like the other types

• Remove BFR from the game, out-snipes every other ranged weapon in the game, on the strongest class 💀

• Nerf flamethrower range and afterburner effect, increase direct hit dmg

• Buff Reshaper recharge time

• Buff grapple range, so inconsistent because of large arenas

• Buff Vortex and breach charge fuse time

• Buff R357 range

• Buff XP54 reload

• Buff Pyro grenade AOE

• Give SR84 iron sights increase hitscan range by 10m

The game right now is (and always has been) a OP gadget spamming circus not a competitive game..

Please fix controller toggle to sprint. Because eveytime my momentum is stopper after a jump or vaulting animation, my character stops sprinting despite me not pressing the toggle button. Can't it be more like when u toggle it on u keep sprinting regardless of any obstacles or if ur momentum is killed, and only stop sprinting when u toggle it off

[keen depot]

POSSIBLE TO DO 80K/ROUND BTW

No crashing for me thankfully but yeah them adding Denuvo made the game run noticeably worse than usual.

[visual wave]

As much as I love this game,
the matchmaking can be utter pigshit. Pretty often honestly.
I cannot tell you how many goddamn times teammates would disconnect/leave, even when we’re in the lead, and we get sweeped.

Just had a TDM match. Won the first round.
Second round? A teammate and an enemy player both left at the same time.
The enemy team got backfilled first. Minutes before we got our backfill. And we lost.

I genuinely cannot tell you how many times this has happened. I’ve said it before in this channel, I feel like I’m cursed just trying to play and have a decent time.
I’ve joked before that this game is giving me matchmaking PTSD but at this point it genuinely is. I don’t blame any new players that this regularly happens to, to where they just up and give up on playing this.

Fucking ridiculous.

[worldly pumice]

we fr need an API and model buffs

[upper widget]

So I either lost 14k worth of skill in 24hrs or your matchmaking sucks ass, ranked is chalked.

[sand kayak]

There are not 70 contracts available. It may have shipped with 70, but if they are locked, they should not be showing as available!!!

[white anchor]

HARPOON FOR LIGHT CLASS
The fast long range projectile sticks to players and surfaces and blows up after a few milliseconds (shorter fuse then thermal bore) and the weapon should have built in scope for long range accuracy,it is more unique then giving light class a thumper.

The projectile is fast but maybe have more of an arc for balance.
Incendiary explosion should have sparks and have fire damage when it falls down on enemies cause at least u need skill and timing.
This isn't used for destruction like thermal bore just fire damage.

There seems to be an issue where the game will revert your graphic settings. I'm not sure why, i thought it was probably steam.

However, today I had the game open, all running fine. Left my PC for a while (lobby screen was on), came back and it all reverted again global illumination and all on.

[atomic flax]

you should be able to get assists for enemies' kills

[wind flame]

goo from the goo gun should not stick to players. it's a building tool, not an infinite stun tool :/

[sonic spoke]

I like sword, but no.

[cinder aurora]

For the love of all that is holy make it take less damage to break a lockbolt I have to use so many bullets to break it and when I do I won't have enough to kill the heavy even if I get the chance to reload no one uses a lockbolt like a sniper so the heavy is just gaurenteed to reach you even with the lockbolt having weaker health

[smoky flicker]

PLEASE give PC players the ability to turn off crossplay, its consistently console players that are the most problematic people

[sacred sapphire]

I really love playing an entire TDM match 4v5. Really, it's so much fun. I cannot describe how much it excites me to play at a disadvantage for an entire game.

Also @smoky flicker you can, it's in settings.

NERF domeshield and NERF flamethrower while giving a BUFF to the revolver, XP and light gravity tool?

You've confused things that you can't deal with as balance issues, and want things changed for YOUR sake, not the games.
That's not right

[hazy mountain]

Can u guys make a sound ping for friend invites??? Everytime a friend sends me an invite, since there’s no sound queue, I dont normally notice and click next game immediately and then get matched without even getting the chance to accept it bc it’s silent.

[rancid tide]

Hello everyone, i have a feedback : can we please have every iron sight matching the color of the weapon skin ? I hope this change will be added to the next season 😎

[full sierra]

if you guys add like +10% rs gain to everyones rank score they get for a win for every first place that would largely fix really high rank teams griefing every round

[wide creek]

What?? WHAT?? Do you even hear yourself? Did you get dropped on your head as a child? People complaining about something actively means it is not functioning fairly. Literally 3 seasons of people hating winch, what on earth is your problem.

@carmine token Flame and dome does need some reworking. Dome is extremely overused, flame is way too easy to use especially when paired with winch. Flame just needs a more detailed flame hitbox to increase skill ceiling, dome IMO should be that enemies cant shoot INTO the dome but can shoot OUT OF the dome, solving the whole double dome issue

[west skiff]

add a black cat tail please

[novel trench]

I second this. We’ve got black cat ears, and no matching tail? Missed opportunity. Let me have my goth catgirl support medium Embark.

[honest wing]

add a bunny pet, we have like... 4 cats and no bnuuy D:

Add pve ! 1 vs 100 thing was just a tease ? X.x

I agree, now that it has an indicator we should at least get 2 of them to make it more viable imo

[rose oyster]

Yeah I just got out of a match where I swapped off Frag just to use Pyro cause it’s just more usable. More staying power means more overall damage than gambling a frag that might do damage even though it’s right on top of someone (though that’s probably more of a server issue.)

Also because I’m here, they’ve gotta do SOMETHING about these XIM users, it’s insane how often I’m getting beamed from across the map, or snapped onto on XBOX

[delicate notch]

The dear old winch claw still pulls me through solid walls or around corners. Also, Flamethrower is the most unfun weapon to play against for me personally. Additionally, could you perhaps add a letter over every player that tells me their class? With some skins it is incredibly hard to tell Light and Medium or Medium and Heavy apart. You could also make it optional in case ppl are bothered by such a thing. Lastly it is still very easy to confuse a blue and a purple glow on gadgets such as mines.

[near burrow]

Can I ask why Melee weapons STILL LOOSE THEIR HITBOX after hitting terrain?
It's not fun randomly hitting a railing and needing one extra hit so I loose the fight

make elevators have destrucable walls but allow for the frame to stay intact. also ease off or get stronger on your cencorship. I cant have the number 88 or even type "??"

Some small quality-of-life improvements I’d love to see in The Finals:

• Global cosmetic application: The ability to apply emotes, sprays, and sound effects to all contestants across the wheel.

• Random outfit support: Add a random outfit system for quick variety.

• Favorites for randomization: A favorite system for skins, so you can choose which ones are included when using the random button.

• Search and color filter: A search bar in outfit creation to find specific pieces, and the ability to type in colors to find items that match that color.

• Bundle cosmetics preview: The ability to see and add bundle cosmetics when creating an outfit — some of the bundle items are really cool, but I don’t want to have to buy them just to test outfit combinations.

• Training range improvements: Options to spawn all canisters and a cashout box for better practice setups.

Outside of this great game, Embark!

[misty flicker]

I think it would be awesome if we had a chat feature to message our friends while they are not in our party. Say you want to message someone on your friendlist who is currently in a game to ask "want to play one with me after your game finishes?" 🙂

[narrow spade]

I feel like the riot shields lately have been pretty difficult to counter, I was hoping if the shield area could be a bit slower or if the shielded movement could be slower it might give us a chance to move away or shoot small areas. would stop them from just blocking everything as they run towards us

REMOVED MOUSE PLAYERS FROM CONSOLE ONLY LOBBIES

[torpid turtle]

SBMM is rigged matchmaking and I don't care what anyone says or what it's intended for! Bottom line is if your too good and a solo player, you'll almost always be forced to play with bad teammates. It doesn't matter how good you are if the opposition is good team players or somewhat competent. Your almost always guaranteed to lose, even if you play really well. This is why I'm so heavily against SBMM and why I think it doesn't belong in gaming as this almost always happens unless your just as average as can be. It's extremely unfair and takes the fun out of online competitive gaming. It would only be fair if everyone is the same exact or as close to the same skill. It's too one sided and I haven't seen a perfect implementation of it that is truly fair and that's because it's impossible. I believe this is some person's way of "getting back" at skilled players by trying to make them feel as though they're terrible, disguised as protecting the new guy from getting stopped out of the game. If you're so worried that getting stomped by good players will make people quit, then why punish players for doing good by matching them in super hard and unfair lobbies for 20 games or so before it gets any better? As the saying goes, there is always someone better than you, so it doesn't matter how good you are as you'll always get punished for doing too well, especially if you solo que. Point is, I think SBMM should be gone, and don't even think about replacing it with EOMM as that system is just evil. Just please revert to connection based lobbies as it was in the beta. Everyone's experience will be much better. Players would be able to see a noticeable improvement in their skill when they aren't always fighting clones of themselves

[median bloom]

your right.. this game has the worst ranked system for ranked play I think out of any game ever made

[vale tiger]

@true epoch Hello, after 200 hours of play, I just uninstalled The Finals and I wanted you to know the reasons : 1) the matchmaking. In the European football cup, do we make the 2 1st of each championship play against the division 2? Why in your opinion? Because it is not fair and it is no longer a game, like The Finals 2) Shooting assistance for controller players. No desire to "play" against these people who have a clear advantage 3) Balancing (weapons, characters) 4) Cheaters. This game is not the only one, the matchmaking is unbearable and I no longer play multiplayer games for these reasons, and I am not the only one. Only the top 1% of the pyramid take pleasure in killing everyone, perhaps it is to copy the Anglo-American model of society... in any case, it is not normal, nor moral, nor fair play. Since you're in the season I don't know how far along, I doubt anything will change, so I bid you farewell.

[untold hazel]

cms are not devs💔

[wispy plank]

Have any devs commented on how the rotten pumpkins work? Obviously you have to buy the pumpkin, but it's not clear how it resets or anything like that. Kind of shady. Any comment from them?

[errant notch]

REMOVE THE GOO FORM THE HALLOWEEN EVENT, caps. its just kinda silly, ive won 3 in a row without shooting anyone

⬇️ yeah exactly, except in the sky

[wispy gust]

why wouldnt you want to sit in corner of map surrounded by goo for 2+ minutes? its fun, bro. its how you win

[fading cobalt]

In BF6 (and some other games but w/e) the slide can be preformed by double tapping crouch instead of it being always activated while sprinting (well, except when you want to slide and the game ignores that and makes you crouch). An option like that would be nice for this game.

It would allow you to seamlessly transition from sprinting to crouching (important for weapons like the KS-23 and MGL32) without having to take that extra beat to stop sprinting. Also nice if you're using auto-sprint.

[vale carbon]

this ltm is awful, there's genuinely not a way to survive unless you're teaming and teaming just makes the mode fucking horrible for everyone else to play, 2 guys team up to kill everyone in the lobby and then survive because this mode isnt made around teaming balance, how do you devs keep making such awful ltms like thank god we arent forced to play this shit like the heaven event

[unreal blaze]

Embark, please tone down the cheesy ass gimmicky bullshit already? You're not going to convince the FPS community that this is a skill-based game when you have crutch abilities and weapons like Cloak, Vanish Bomb, Defibs, Winch, DB, CL-40, etc. in your game. Look, most of us with 2000 hours know the above are not "meta" at Ruby and Diamond, but in Platinum and below they're just unnecessarily toxic and bypasses the "skill-based" game for most of your players.

When a bad player who is 1-8 with an AKM can switch to a CL-40 grenade launcher and go 10-10 the next round, that not only pisses off the Revolver opponents that actually have to work for their kills, but even pisses off their own teammates who are putting in a hell of a lot more effort.

This gimmicky shit is the reason why even your own ARC Raider devs are predicting The Finals dropping to 10K max active players by July of next year as all the skilled players can leave this cesspool for a game that actually rewards player skill without the gimmicky toxic bs.

[cold bolt]

ever since 8.6 on my 4090 7800x3D setup:

• delayed inputs
• significant stutter frames (enough to fuck up a win) when prior to the update I had buttery smooth frames with 0 drops

[trail flame]

Please stop crying because you're not good at the game. If you aren't good enough to change tactics and gadgets on the fly to be successful, just say that. Maybe only wear the Skill Issue skin in the game while you're at it. Make your own game if you don't like it, they aren't going to change the entire game just because you had a rough go at it. I just played an entire team of riot shield guys that doubled our score immediately and they won the first TDM round. We adjusted as a team, switched all our loadouts, and won the next 2 rounds even as the other team switched tactics. Just because you can't counter something, or it doesn't go how you like, doesn't mean it's "gimmicky." If you want the same FPS as other games, then go play other games.

FIX THE SNIPER RIFLE, players dont have projectile speed or travel distance but i do, i have to aim ahead or above them for shots to land but they shoot on me, have no drop, no delay and shoot my chest but get headshots, please fix the fuckign game, make the fucking sniper rifle fucking hitscan fucking 100m fucking no drop fucking no speed fucking work,

[wooden void]

Winch is literally fine, I’m a light and medium and have 0 problem w it. And no complaining about something doesn’t mean there’s a problem

Say a winch heavy dies to a light, they would complain saying “nerf arn and cloak it’s too broken”

Then they kill the light and the light complains “nerf winch and SA12 its broken”

Just because it’s broken towards one class doesn’t mean that it’s broken towards others. Personally i wish the AK got nerfed from a lights perspective, but playing as a medium I wish it got buffed against heavy’s. Just because something is broken in one eye doesn’t mean it’s broken in all.

[high plover]

[gritty jetty]

[worldly tulip]

Reword the contracts

"45K in one match of WT or ranked"

Got it in 2 rounds and didn't count, love this game

[wide creek]

"Just because it's broken towards one class" You literally just said its broken toward lights. Classes can have things that are BETTER at killing one or the other class, but winch is a straight up instakill cheatcode for dealing with lights. And since you seem so intent on trying to say "skill issue", you probably play in silver or gold.

Winch not only has a 12 meter range, is nearly unavoidable within 8 meters, no windup warning, stuns for 0.65 seconds (shorter than most TTKs on lights for ANY class), and allows the heavy to take first shot. Not to mention it regens in 18 seconds, 10 seconds on miss (for some fucking reason), AND just to add insult to injury does 5 damage cuz why not.

It entirely removes the advantages of lights, which exist because a light has substantially less health. No other spec actively effects other classes, NONE. They may damage (turret, C&S), impede (demat, shield, goo gun), improve teamplay (heal beam, also shield) or improve mobility (all light specs), but NONE of them actively effect the enemy besides winch. (argument could be made than goo gun does when played to stick players, also a lame strat)

PLUS, Embark removed stun gun for this EXACT same reason, except stun gun was on a class with 150 health, not 350, so at least people had a chance to kill the light, AND it didn't give the light distance advantage. Light TTK of heavy is over 3x as long almost across the board, so if you honestly think that giving easy, close quarters first shot advantage to heavies is a fair feature then you either play with silvers or your brain hasn't grown past the spinal column.

[dense mauve]

Game is trash. Just right now 3 outta 4 games, had lights. Randoms 3 lights were ranked. The other game was World Tour no light. Still lost because of trash game. FUCK U EMBTRASH

[ornate carbon]

(i have never played THE FINALS)

[vagrant mortar]

why are you so butthurt about lights? thats just a skill issue bro

[rustic tinsel]

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

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

[shrewd echo]

Laser weapons, I want a laser sword, and laser guns like from golden eye, I think the finals would benefit from having high powered laser guns and swords so you can take out a heavy in one hit or use a laser sniper rifle to take out a cheater in one shot. Laser weapons, with laser shields would help make me smile more when I am being dominated by cheaters. It gives me sad thumb.

[fading sinew]

Embark,

Had an invisible jump pad on seoul. Went to get the cashout and I kept jumping in the air.

Can you fix this. It showed up when it didn't matter. Fix ur game

[rancid lark]

Would be nice if options actually explained what each option does. "Night mode"?

[zealous harness]

night mode is supposed to adjust the volume of certain sounds so that important ones are much louder compared to non-important ones. The idea behind it is that you can turn down your overall volume and still hear what you need to hear, such as when you are trying to chill / use speakers at night

edit: in some games the audio is simply compressed (not to say one's better than the other). Compression makes the difference in volume between loud sounds and less loud sounds smaller.

[odd ibex]

💥Auto cross for HEAVY class,it fits right in with the pike and lh equivalent for heavy and it’s a PROJECTILE .

They defined the change of the sniper as 'oppressive' in PS. Now the sniper rifle is an awful gun to use long range.
Every weapon is hitscan and more oppressive than the sniper is. Repeater and ARs just hitscan long range. Bfr titan hitscan long range. Every weapon that the sniper rifle is supposed to challenge gets dedtroyed/obliterated long range. Its not only bullet drop, its also bullet velocity you have to account for. Its so dumb and stupid and I implore for Embark to either revert the chabge to the sniper or make EVERY WEAPON have projectile based physics past 80m.

[stoic mortar]

i'am with 80 level player, 120, 50, your game is not equal, solve it

Please add more naturally curly/coily hair looks. We only have the short pixie cut and that is still just curly, not coily. Shoulder length to chest length curly/coily hair would be great. A coily afro hair style would be great.

Holy essay i ain’t reading allat

[tawny oak]

They need to make the sniper rifle hitscan all ranges or make it atleast hitscan 120m, it cant compete with vfr titan and cb01 as they are 2 shot bodyshot hitscan weapons.
I understand they effort but whats the point in PS when other weapons just dominate it.

[night drift]

FR 🔥

[viscid raft]

how is this skin still broken

[hollow kelp]

I agree that saying something is broken because its good against your class is wrong, but winch is literally better than every class and spec in the game. winch cancels charge and slam, goes through mesh shield and in a winch vs winch it's decided on who winches first. as a light you have such low hp that your only hope is that the heavy misses his shots and you can dash or grapple away. and as a medium (which i am) you have basically no hope apart from goo and jump pad which is hard to do because theres a stun effect on winch. so overall, sure, something shouldn't be nerfed because its good against one class but winch beats almost everything in the game so thats the problem with it

[vital basin]

Pls add more range and damage to winch just to piss people off 🙏

[gritty ocean]

Day 2 of asking for 1 of each class limit in ranked

[trim gyro]

[tall herald]

it should be possible to change visor/scope on practice range, its really a pain to compare them

[scenic oasis]

the spinning spear attack is a lot better, but still has problem registering some attacks, despite them being in front of me (I suppose it's because I jump, But I don't think it should make me miss, the spear goes right through their torso x) )

[fickle python]

The game seems a bit stale at the moment, but I believe it might be a while before any major meta shift happens because it seems dash, winch, and demat are still the top 3 and have been for quite a bit plus the devs haven't really buffed the other specializations enough for it to really change the pickrates significantly.

and why in the world would they nerf cloak to make recon abilities spot cloaked players, making sonar grenades even better than they already were.

Idk why more people dont heal beam tbh. For me demat just doesn't help me enough compared to keeping teammates up

Buff Dagger

Remove Winch Claw

Remove Denuvo

Rework BFR Titan into Heavy’s 2nd spread shotgun

Revert Glitch Trap back to Glitch Mine (Current Glitch Trap is a death sentence to melee right now)

Let us pick our metal & gem skins so we don’t have to wait 30 season to get a weapon we want

Remove spread from KS-23 to make it 100% accurate at all times and revert the 40m hitscan mechanic

hi skul

[violet elbow]

Remove another Knockout round in ranked, make it 1 round cashout into 3v3:

• smaller lobby size means Diamond + wont be matched into gold, good players get more functional ranked, lower elo players dont get stomped

• quicker games means the matchmaking pool is more active so you can find closer games faster

• removing first round losses removes the frustration for plats to be in a ruby lobby, losing and losing a lot of RS for a lobby completely out of their elo

• ranked should be similar to the esports format, every game does that for a reason, and your Closes Quals/Major Esports Format DOES EXACTLY THAT with 1 round cashout and 1 round 3v3.

Hi Cream

[cobalt kernel]

Nerf Winch into the ground (it's been 5 seasons of this no skill clown show) or just vault it

• Range to 9 - 10 meters

• Reduce stun duration by at least 65 %

• Remove hitbox on retraction and make chain break if object gets stuck anywhere!

• Nerf dome shield finally, should block all damage from all sides

• Reduce number of Pyro mines carriable to ONE, just like the other types

• Remove BFR from the game, out-snipes every other ranged weapon in the game, on the strongest class 💀

• Nerf flamethrower range and afterburner effect, increase direct hit dmg

• Buff Reshaper recharge time

• Buff grapple range, so inconsistent because of large arenas

• Buff Vortex and breach charge fuse time

• Buff R357 range

• Buff XP54 reload

• Buff Pyro grenade AOE

• Give SR84 iron sights increase hitscan range by 10m

The game right now is (and always has been) a OP gadget spamming circus not a competitive game..

Day 10 of asking Embark to bring back bonus pages from past battle passes

[glacial geyser]

"Challenging" and "Very Challenging" tournaments are easier than "Easy" tournaments...

What is the point of ranked if smurfs just ruin you and you lose more points because of it?

We always get through to the second round on challenging and often to the finals.
Easy? We get through the first one, but then deleted and lose points because of the point difference...

Or is the entire system just a joke?

[cosmic berry]

Used to only use healing but if you run p90 or even cl40 demat is dangerous. You teammates gotta stay up on their own or just definitely them. Really allowing you to switch from both support and attacker.

[azure tree]

Please give solo players SOME compensation. I do not want to be seed 1 everytime and its freaking up in the air what my team does. atleast make me around seed 4 so it feels more balanced. i know we dont have the player base for letting duo and solo player lobbies only but that would be ideal

[warm glade]

Add 1.5x on sr84 pls

[upper widget]

I lost 10k ranked points IN A ROW in less than 24hr, I went from 37.5K points all the way down to 27K. Ranked does not measure skill when you are solo its literally just gambling if you don't have a team to play with. Considering the RNG spawns, suspiciously bad hit-reg, and the difficulty rating basically having no correlation to the actual difficulty of the match, I'd even say as a team you're gambling unless your team is all pretty high skill.

[wraith gale]

*Increase Breach Drill activation speed one more time
*make it so I can trigger it manually instead of immediately after placing it (cooldown starts only after activating)
*increase how far away I can place it.

Then we have a functioning destructive tool for medium in addition to Demat

[meager pewter]

Hi! I think you should consider extending the pumpkin smashing event. The collect period is way too short (giving you just a single extra day if you missed anything, so you need to play 14 out of 15 days to get every single item which can get pretty boring and on top of it not everyone can log in everyday. Since the items you get are randomized, you don't have the warranty of getting the item you want if you haven't played enough. I had a look at the rules, and for an event that looks free at first, that helps boost playerbase and requires us to farm challenges for those items, i find it very wrong and greedy to ask for real money from the players that missed bits of it, just because the event is made to last for such a short duration on purpose.

[austere delta]

M1919 Browning MG skin for the M60?

I feel the hit reg is the WORST it has ever been in 8 seasons + open Beta. Almost to an INSANE degree. I am sure it is server based issues as always but.... wow it is bad

[young jetty]

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈Add pride flags to the finals!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

I can’t speak for PC users but on console it is genuinely impossible to hit dash users consistently due to sensitivity.

Dual blades are probably the worst melee in the game rn and definitely need a rebalancing (NOT a buff)

Add a juggling animation for the dual blades!

I’ve already talked about it but sword is actually ridiculous in its current state and desperately needs a nerf. Its combo with evasive dash is actually crazy especially against console players who literally can’t move their camera fast enough.

This is a huge one for me personally as a mainly melee user, a light with evasive dash COMPLETELY counters every single melee in the ENTIRE game shit is actually ridiculous. The only way to fight a dash light with a melee weapon is to use evasive dash as well which should not be the way it is. I’m not saying to nerf it into the ground but please add some kind of counter/option for melee users against dash lights

finally invisibility is incredibly inconsistent across all platforms… PLEASE make it consistent. It should absolutely not under any circumstances make fights rely entirely upon how much money your willing to spend on you gaming system. On ps4 it is GENUINELY invisible while on a newer console/PC it doesn’t even compare. This is by far my biggest gripe about the game in its current state.

Also add goblins to the finals

day 2 of asking for basketball skin for the healing emitter

[outer jetty]

REMOVE THE POKE WEAPONS! IT DESTROYS THE GAME!

What's the point of playing Minigun?
What's the point of playing CL-40?
What's the point of V9S? (93R Meta)
What's the point of .50 Akimbo?

Also Remove Winch. Destroys full control of your gameplay.
Keep heavies heal ball and remove light's healing gun.

The game should be unique and not drivin into meta system and full team support winning rate.

The goo grenade is such a major great idea since season 1. Why just remove the idea of supporting your team like that? Instead of everyone using heals.

I'm really sad how the game is being such a headache to play nowadays.

• Poke Weapons (With headshots) being a insane major-change in the meta.
• Winch claw being such a annoying tool to fight against but easy to use.
• Some poke weapons that should stay in the game. (Pike, R .357, Sniper Rifle, Bow, LH1, V9S, Throwing Knifes, Model, Cerberus, KS-23, .50 AKIMBO)

Whenever a new season drops with new weapons is such an issue for playing the game with skill and without. Doing so much damage in one shot just because you have aim. It doesn't deserve to be 80+ free damage. It should've been skilled with FCAR and AKM for medium. But heavy getting a sniper pistol is insane choice. And light being the sniper class is fine. Has 150 health and it's easy to take care of.

But have heavy with 350 health with a sniper weapon is stupid. With medium having the repeater that does MORE damage than shotgun (model) from close and far range with a headshot. That means there is an issue already. Why are you using a graph to balancing weapons in this game? WIth these poke weapons existing, There is a reason some don't use it. Because not alot are skilled enough to hit every-shot but there is some can hit any shot. Being the victim side of the poke weapon is painful but being the user. It's such joy and fun. Having a meta is an issue for The Finals.

Embark Please. Dearly i love your game. I can't play like this anymore.

[brittle zinc]

So does embark encourage smurfing? Because we've reached the center of the season now, which means that all the modes are infested with level 10-30 accounts with cosmetics from the closed beta racking up 30-2 scores and teaming. Always happens, always has happened, wish it would stop. Can we report these people? Is this something that actually gets people banned? Last I checked it's an exploit.

[surreal bloom]

textures popping sometimes it started with arc raiders now this i have been playing since the beta and i never experineced such a thing

[tardy cloud]

Okay so, buff dagger. But for winch

Can we try a charge up on it? A system where to full charge its maybe 1.5 seconds, and after that you cant charge anymore. But, you can throw the winch whenever, it'll just not go as far as after a full charge. This could also allow for a slight delay when its not charged at all, and almost no delay when it is charged (for releasing it). I think this should a change that gets a lot of playtesting before launch tho. And yeah, buff dagger

[white anchor]

HARPOON FOR LIGHT CLASS
The fast long range projectile sticks to players and surfaces and blows up after a few milliseconds (shorter fuse then thermal bore) and the weapon should have built in scope for long range accuracy,it is more unique then giving light class a thumper.

The projectile is fast but maybe have more of an arc for balance.
Incendiary explosion should have sparks and have fire damage when it falls down on enemies cause at least u need skill and timing.
This isn't used for destruction like thermal bore just fire damage.

🔥Upvote here #1422863297195151450 message

Please change the Denuvo Anti-Cheat with something else because of how extremely unstable Denuvo is and how shady their data harvesting operation is

GOOD JOB on the Halloween event, WAY better than the wheel! I highly appreciate being able to log in every day and knowing I'll get the completion prize at the end. having to purchase missed days seems like a fair motivator to log in and complete the challenge!

[misty flicker]

PLEASE allow us SWITCH the gun SIGHTS while in practice range. I would like to quickly swap between sights to see which I prefer. Backing out of the practice range to switch sights then wait for the queue to pop once again just to take a few shots and back-out again seems extremely unnecessary when we’re able to switch guns in an instant while inside the practice range! Thx

[signal basin]

** General feedback **

• Make maps & events more visible at the start of a match
• Let us custom our sight tickness
• When we press ESC, we should LEAVE the weapons menu in casual mode
• 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 ⚖️ **

• Nerf the P90 in some way. Reduce the RPM, less bullets. Find something
• NERF THE CL40 !!!!! NERF THE CL40 !!!!! NERF THE CL40 !!!!!
• 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 recoil and/or hip fire of the CB01-Repeater (bad idea to buff the DMG it in S8)
• 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 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
• 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

---

Two MAJORS problems in this game
BALANCE : Light clearly doesn't exist for devs. Playing this class isn't fun anymore. You die 90% of the time in less than a second, getting 1 or 2 shots.
SERVERS : You dash on a floor but land on the upper one. You die behind a cover, etc...

Share with us your data about the class and weapons like you did once. Why stop to share data this data huh ?

Battlefield 6 is out
CL40 are still here. Hook is the new stun gun & you do nothing about it. Thermal vision still unavaible. WT is full of Medium and Heavy because Light has never been and will never be META. Devs who don't give a shit about Light class. Good bye the Finals. Your poor balance and servers got me (and everything in this post too).
**Hello Battlefield 6 ! **

[broken geyser]

Please fix controller toggle to sprint. Because eveytime my momentum is stopper after a jump or vaulting animation, my character stops sprinting despite me not pressing the toggle button. Can't it be more like when u toggle it on u keep sprinting regardless of any obstacles or if ur momentum is killed, and only stop sprinting when u toggle it off

[subtle robin]

Embark, please consider adding a server in India.

Asia is stuck with only 3 servers, assuming (Japan [red], Singapore [no indicator] and Hong Kong [yellow] indicator). Most games have yellow or red indicator which makes the game not fun. The game has audience in India, I have come across various players in my games. Would be great if you guys consider this. Thanks!

[warped meteor]

More Suggestions:

• Let all burst, semi, and melee weapons be held for constant fire

• Add coyote jumping when and after mantling to make it easier to stay on narrow platforms and/or use them to reach higher ground

• Slightly increase the horizontal range, and speed of mantling

• Make mantling, and jumping break all glass, not just windows

• Tone down the vfx of gunfire striking shields to improve clarity

• bring back pinpoint hipfire accuracy to the ksg

• remove shot bloom when ADS while airborne

• separate the grayscale effect from the cowboy hat from the old event

• Please for the love of god let us leave penalty free if a teammate leaves. I had a game where we secured a cashbox easily but our mans left, and we got 2v3 rolled the rest of the match. I did not want to play the match, and even if we got backfill, that would not be fair to them or to us to try and come back.

[proud plinth]

In other words, "Light can still die so embark doesnt care about it"

[gritty umbra]

so you can get banned for not being able to connect to the game? i q'd a game, canceled to get another friend in, then it says we have to reconnect. we do and place 2nd in the entire tourney and after its all said and done i get penalized and lose rank bc your matchmaking system is still bugged?

[manic prairie]

i just hate that i get teamed with rookies every other game. i know im not best player but i have +2k hours and i have play since day 1 and have to play people who is in their first hour. last guy didnt even know how to aim. it just doesnt make sense to me... feel like new players dont like to get throwed with us either. but anyway please do something about it AND AGAIN GIVE US OPTION TO MUTE REVIEVE REQUEST!!!!! going nuts with these players!

[wraith orchid]

just look at the stats how often a light wins against a heavy bfr. look at the ratio. plllls (and repeater)

bugs that are in the game for decades now:

• portal not activating on 1st or 2nd throw.

• spacebar to respawn doesnt work and you have to wait till next teamwipe

-vault icon suddenly dissapears for a moment when already activated and carried along

-explosive barrels to no damage when thrown at the enemy

-sniper hitreg issues (i have around 50 clips of that)

-sniper anamation issues where you hold the weapon at a weird angle and only see ironsights if you ads

-cover boxes randomly exploding or collapsing when you climb them. sometimes bouncing you straight to the moon.

PS: slow mo AFTER the kill is kinda useless xd

[toxic coral]

Hey Embark team and community!

Why did they remove the "quick invite" function (one button invite)?

Would be great to have it back 🙌

[elder spear]

Hi Embark, if you remove citadel the current line up of maps on tdm is perfect please don't bug it anymore and for goodness sake keep Kyoto far far away. Also you removed defibs and revives it took your team 3 seasons to figure out that wasn't a good idea but you did it, good on you 👍

[dusty igloo]

Can we shorten the quick play grind to like 600 points, its a casual mode, all it does is bring in sweats like me who want to grind to max rank in all the modes

[waxen hornet]

can the ks23 get a projectile hit size buff i tried using it and it feels pretty inconsistent trying to land shots on it. it feels inflexible especially up on closer ranges

[next meadow]

Would it be possible to add the option to favorite skins? I think it'd be a great feature especially with the randomization feature where you could make it choose one of your favorites instead of every skin you have

[thick sand]

Weren't you able to favorite weapons and if you choose random weapon it chooses only between the favorite ones? where is it gone? if it wasn't than we need one, it's such an easy good thing!

[spare rapids]

Increase CL40 self damage. There is no reason they should be able to blast you from 2m away while taking little to no damage. Most other games the self damage is DOUBLE what you would do to the other player so people cant be a bunch of cheese balls with them.

[strange pollen]

Hello everyone! I would love to see an option to favorite cosmetics/skins for the character or weapons in the game, and the ability to also randomize among these favorites. Having acquired a few passes/skins, I sometimes find myself with two quality skins for the same weapon. And if I randomize, I will be able to have the skins I prefer, but I can also come across skins I don't want or skins that you get with the weapon's level. This would be a really great addition! It could be implemented via a second random button, but for favorites, and to favorite, you could right-click (similar to right-clicking for outfit management) on a skin and then favorite it.

[paper thunder]

About the "Ghoul Rush" LTM:
FFA does not fit the Infected formula, taking out the entire team aspect makes the game frustrating and just another TDM. The mode feels like the worst of FFA and Infected. I get the idea behind trying to make something new, but this is really unfun. People don't try to survive, they just play FFA and you get relegated to melee and nothing else once you die just one time. No teamplay, no tension.

Personally I'd make 2 or so players be the ghouls from the get go, the rest stay in a team, but with one time use gadgets.

[plain jacinth]

Every high elo ranked lobby has at least one smurf boosting friends. Don't allow accounts with less than 300 hours of game time to queue ranked with others

[upper citrus]

Or just add RS based grouping restrictions like every other game

[brittle summit]

I really like the boomboxes 👍

[pine raft]

delete ranked, u cant manage a competitive gamemode so just delete it and cancel major, fucking joke gamemode

[rancid ridge]

Can we start optimizing this game, its actually insane how in 2025 im getting 100 fps on everything low setting on 4060 (its surely not the best card, but its not the worst card out there). Im forced to play with frame gen which looks AWFUL and i still barely get 150 fps. Like aither stop adding sh1t that makes the game heavier or try to optimize it for once.

[tacit skiff]

My word I'm starting to get fed up Once again I don't know why I lost a lot of FPS While I bothered changing the processor I feel like I wasted money for nothing A while ago I was at 160fps And now I'm in the 100 FPS a horror what do you do with each update There are always performance problems

[languid niche]

Please add resolution scaling in the game settings

Also, if you have more assists than kills shouldn’t that add to your support score? For every assist shouldn’t it be 250 support?

[bronze python]

please embark make it so you can put stickers anywhere on weapons (or just have a few options per gun)

[teal minnow]

90% of this is just skill issue🥀

[proven crown]

Please buff revolver hip fire spread. It just can't compete with Repeater

[sterile canopy]

The revolver has hugely superior hipfire spread to the repeater. Use a dispersion reticule and see for yourself.

[loud sinew]

veri poor fps lately why :C

[trail grove]

Please for the love all that is holy, make some skins for the tracking dart that isnt "corporeal zebra" or "high school 70s"
The only skins worth using is the unlocks and I would love to dump money into tracking dart skins, model changes blah blah blah.
PLEASE ADD TRACKING DART SKINS

[short crater]

Nerf or fucking remove that sword

[agile ivy]

I appreciate that the current event rewards don't push me into playing a specific gamemode, thanks.

[brittle pasture]

im a fairly new player but I do love this game and see myself playing it alongside arc raiders for the foreseeable future but the imbalance in weapons is very apparent especially as a new player. There are a couple of weapons that are "meta" because they simply outdo all others and if you aren't using them then you'll just lose most of your fights against people who do. However not a single weapon stands out in terms of it being the best which is a good thing and hopefully this will be addressed soon.

[fierce berry]

keep this infected gamemode in the game forever. i love it

[mental delta]

If a player's game crashes during a Quickplay mode, either let the player rejoin the game they were in or let them keep the contracts progress they had made during the match.

[lone thicket]

It would be so much fun if there was a limited time game mode where it was normal cash out match, but with season 1 balance like nukes, instant defib, busted stun gun, 150 damage rpg, etc. I miss how every class was broken in its own way

[cedar cave]

i think the clubs could use a slight revamp, more features maybe, how about styles for the club tag in front of your name? frames, colors, effects, etc.

[slow sequoia]

please fix ur matchmaking i am seed 8 every game no matter who i play with. plat matching ruby players is wild

[valid sequoia]

Can we please allow switching loadouts to reserve in comp? There are way too many weapons which are insanely oppressive if you happen to unfortunately be running the wrong thing. Not being able to switch just pushes everyone towards using all-rounder weapons and ruins any variety - plus means that comp is even more down to luck than it already is since if you're stuck against a weapon that hard counters you, you're just screwed

It kinda feels like the only reason you can't switch is to introduce more of a difference between comp and world tour - but world tour now has modifiers which should suffice

[autumn axle]

Hear me out a gateway skin that’s two milk cartons and they have a custom drinking animation

[sand kayak]

I am not a huge fan of the LTM but I want to say the devs have done an incredible job with the Halloween theme this year. Lots of great cosmetics, the spooky music and the little props. Especially at night time, the theme really pops out. So kudos to whoever is responsible for the visuals.

[versed knot]

Can we please have the new sword fire emote available on ALL skins of the sword 🥹 🙏🏽

[dense turtle]

On Syshorizon, the top atrium bar overlooking the street where the platform on powershift spawns with "WORK_SPACE_4" Text in front of it needs to be made destructible like the rest of the atrium roof. on powershift that is a toxic camp spot. This game prides itself on destruction and yet, that part is indestructible for no reason?

Nerf Evasive Dash to 2 dashes max and don't allow to dash through people. Stop ALL use of weapons while using Light specialisations.

Heavies cannot shoot their weapons while using shield, charge, goo gun or whinch claw.
Mediums cannot shoot their weapons while placing turret, healing or dematerializing.
Why can light use their weapons while dashing and grapplehooking??

Balance the class specialisation so no class can use their weapons while using it. Or allow every class to use their weapons.

Remove sniper from powershift.

[wise vector]

Embark please add a throwback limited time event where all the balancing changes are the same as season 1 and only the season 1 guns and abilities. ex no winch, heal infuser or famas

that would be fun i get my taser back

I enjoyed your development blog on the M60 update, I would like to read more like this one for next improvements.

[visual ginkgo]

1. Theres a several time i cant press space button to spawn, either in QC or WT, in any game mode idk why, so what can i do is chillin and wait my teammate to revive me

2. For god damn sake, the fps are drop from the start on season 8 idk why, before s8 i get 180 fps in medium setting with rtx 4060, but now.. Im very gratefull if i can get around 100-110, im using rtx 4080, proc amd ryzen 7k, 28gb ram.

3. Please add chatting outside the arena or the game, so we can chat our recent, or our friend outside the arena

Thanks embar for this beautifull game, i love this game so much, i've spend so much on this game, and promise to keep playin it, but please, do an update with something that is essential for this game thank you, love u embark

[mystic delta]

Can y’all PLEASE fix the matchmaking, I can understand getting put in a game with a major qualifier every once in a while since the player pool isn’t huge but a few times EVERY gaming session is ridiculous. Not to mention that diamonds and rubies are in almost every game I play. I would like to actually enjoy the game and not have to sweat my ass off to get past round 1.

[supple tinsel]

delete low gravity event

I like some events in the finals. Low grav may be top tier

[woeful shoal]

fully agree, people keep saying to just "adapt" to all the off meta loadouts which require very specific counters when u just can't know until you come across them in game

GIVE ME NAMA TAMA AS A PET ON MY SHOULDER DOING TWIRLS AND I WILL GIVE YOU MY MONEY!!!!!!

I AGREE WITH ORF TOO

[timid geode]

Id love to have a new gateway skin, a (cool) 93r skin like leaf or smt, and a all wooden ball skin for heavy

[elder drift]

Something that could be cool for world tour to change the instant replay animation to suit the current sponsors, like changing the animation with a product of the brand and the colours things like that what do you think, it’s maybe super complicated to do but I think it would be something super cool. Like sports replay. They can do amazing sponsors trailers so I thought it this hahaha. Tell me what you think, it’s not useful tho hahaha

Many such cases

Buff your skill

[manic mantle]

Changes that can be made in a short sprint that actually improve the game

Match history list for ranked(can be as simple as just listing all the match ids) most players record this. But seeing, 15 losses in a row will help people be able to fix the issue instead of rage queuing

Ability to change volume levels per team mate for VC(Not really a problem for PC players, mainly console players)

Custom crosshairs per sight, think like dot, circle, holographic etc and color customization.

Some sort of minimap to help new players navigate where the heck they are or a map button to show the entire map and where the player is.

Also ability to change/promote party leaders

[quartz galleon]

REMOVE THE POKE WEAPONS! IT DESTROYS THE GAME!

What's the point of playing Minigun?
What's the point of playing CL-40?
What's the point of V9S? (93R Meta)
What's the point of .50 Akimbo?

Also Remove Winch. Destroys full control of your gameplay.
Keep heavies heal ball and remove light's healing gun.

The game should be unique and not drivin into meta system and full team support winning rate.

The goo grenade is such a major great idea since season 1. Why just remove the idea of supporting your team like that? Instead of everyone using heals.

I'm really sad how the game is being such a headache to play nowadays.

• Poke Weapons (With headshots) being a insane major-change in the meta.
• Winch claw being such a annoying tool to fight against but easy to use.
• Some poke weapons that should stay in the game. (Pike, R .357, Sniper Rifle, Bow, LH1, V9S, Throwing Knifes, Model, Cerberus, KS-23, .50 AKIMBO)

Whenever a new season drops with new weapons is such an issue for playing the game with skill and without. Doing so much damage in one shot just because you have aim. It doesn't deserve to be 80+ free damage. It should've been skilled with FCAR and AKM for medium. But heavy getting a sniper pistol is insane choice. And light being the sniper class is fine. Has 150 health and it's easy to take care of.

But have heavy with 350 health with a sniper weapon is stupid. With medium having the repeater that does MORE damage than shotgun (model) from close and far range with a headshot. That means there is an issue already. Why are you using a graph to balancing weapons in this game? WIth these poke weapons existing, There is a reason some don't use it. Because not alot are skilled enough to hit every-shot but there is some can hit any shot. Being the victim side of the poke weapon is painful but being the user. It's such joy and fun. Having a meta is an issue for The Finals.

Embark Please. Dearly i love your game. I can't play like this anymore.

[balmy vigil]

Embark can we make it so that when we are typing in chat it doesn’t cancel our text if the same restarts, die etc.

[quartz cedar]

game runs like TRASH since last update, normally I have no issues with performance

[fathom otter]

how come i can no longer give feedback ingame?

[wide creek]

Game no longer starts, great

@wooden void All that tells me is that you don't care about actual feedback, you just want to argue

[supple cedar]

i +1 this

[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 👍🏼

[last saddle]

Botters out in fucking force tonight.

Really hoping the next plushie grenade skin is the beaver for the gas grenade. beavers make artificial vanilla. If you eat artificial vanilla flavour you have eaten beaver :3

[misty jasper]

Please fix FCAR animations. You cannot equip multiple animations, its bugged

[leaden tangle]

I really hate it, every time I want to share some info like "Purple Light is camping near the cashout" and some teammate revives you, the time you spend writing in the chat is for nothing. But, wait. At least you can take the payback way and shoot that little rat before the cashout 😄

[eternal wigeon]

The odds of castoreum being used in artificial vanilla are very low. Also, what the hell man?

@novel trench I'm aware of that, still, mentioning that with a :3 is hella sus

[novel trench]

This is correct, while it was historically used in flavorings it’s now mainly used in perfumes. That being said, I would absolutely demolish a Beaver. I’ll bet its tail could be eaten like jerky.

[rapid stream]

Buff Dagger

Remove Winch Claw

Remove Denuvo

Rework BFR Titan into Heavy’s 2nd spread shotgun

Revert Glitch Trap back to Glitch Mine (Current Glitch Trap is a death sentence to melee right now)

Let us pick our metal & gem skins so we don’t have to wait 30 season to get a weapon we want

Remove spread from KS-23 to make it 100% accurate at all times and revert the 40m hitscan mechanic

[vernal flint]

Helllo! I just here. Hope you are doing well. I was wondering if it's possible to add an random option for animations so it can cycle between them? Same as weapon skin randomizer but just for animations that would be really cool!

[little turret]

Add more skin tones and more black hairstyles. I was trying to create this man for a meme and realized the only black skin tone available is dark skin black, the closest thing to this man in game currently is a slightly darker tone that looks like it could be an Indian or Hispanic character. There's also not many black hairstyles besides cornrows, it'd be nice to see the roster of "faces" and "hair" expand to increase the possible character combinations. I personally think a slider for skin tones (basic human ones, not stuff like gray or gold that would be part of a bundle) would be a good addition to the game but this far in development I understand that might be difficult to implement and effect the way certain cosmetics are marketed.

[summer bane]

PLEASE FIX THE CHAT SYSTEM ON PS5!! ITS HORRIBLE...

1. IT KICKS ME OUT EVERYTIME THERE IS A SCENE CHANGE FROM LOADING TO SCREEN TO PRESENTING THE CONTESTANTS TO JUMPING IN GAME ALL TO DYING TO RESPAWNING IT KEEPS KICKING ME OUT OF WHAT I AM TYPING ITS SO FRUSTRATING..

2. WE LITERALLY CANT TYPE ON THE REPORT SECTION...

PLEASE PLEASE.. ITS ACTUALLY REALLY FRUSTRATING

[elder spear]

The best way to fix that is remove all healing gadgets in TDM's, I know what you are talking about heavy players hiding behind mediums all day , and medium and medium holding hands healing each other's ass the entire game is annoying. Its just TDM u respawn in 3 seconds if u die yet they play as if they're real life is on the line real wuzzy behaviors

[torpid quarry]

Add 5v5 cashout

[flat flower]

All chat would be amazing. Or just a way to say gg to the opposing team

[echo bronze]

Pike, Repeater, and LH1 should all get the SR-84 treatment and only be hitscan up to a certain distance, and turn into a projectile beyond that. It feels weird that each of these precision rifles can out-DPS the SR-84 and are fully hitscan, and I'm not so sure that the increased minimum range and increased zoom on the SR-84 is enough to really justify this discrepancy. Even outside of the minimum effective ranges, the SR-84 is still out-DPS'd by these other weapons.

For instance, at 100m, the SR-84 should do ~66 DPS to the body, but the Repeater at this same distance does ~80.5 DPS at this same range, at full hitscan. I think a proper balance for this would be to either make the Repeater (and other precision rifles) projectile at a certain distance, or the SR-84 should have a slightly higher headshot multiplier to reward the skill required to line up a projectile-based headshot at that range.

I feel like this discrepancy is even further exacerbated by the fact that lower-zoom scopes seem to reward players by having a more forgiving bullet registration, making the LH1, Repeater, and Pike easier to land shots due to the lower zoom level than the SR-84. I think there may be some "rounding" happening with aiming at higher FOVs, which seems to shift the ease-of-use balance further toward those weapons and away from the SR-84. This may be a game engine limitation and may not be easily solvable, however this aim "rounding" seems to make the higher zoom on the SR-84 a detriment to the user, instead of a bonus.

I think the two best solutions to this would be to either make other precision rifles projectile beyond a specified distance, or make the SR-84 headshot multiplier higher, encouraging snipers to go for the head instead of the body.

[fast dove]

On empty weapon reloads, let you finish your empty reload faster if you successfully melee, aka smack the weapon into feeding the action into another player
but if u miss then u get the same result as if u meleed in general

[echo urchin]

Get rid of quick cash and head to head, keep head to head in customs as "final round". Add 6v6 cash out.

[tranquil skiff]

Bfr and r357 needs a nerf…the range is too much. 1v1 heavy with shak…. Or jumping flame…. The shak and flame should win. I feel like most players aren’t playing fair because I catch them all the time in game, the few times I do report. Cheaters are using high damage weapons and getting away with it.

I know a honest shooter. Won’t argue, but some of this is getting insane. If you’re not team spynx or rger, or higher than that…. And you’re level 3….. sorry, but that’s bs. It took an entire beta and first season to learn guns on this game.

I plays with some of the best cod , rbs6, bf, players…. No way some of these guys are having the aim they do.

Embark needs to better because 5 hours later I get the notification that they were cheating. Using the toughest accuracy guns, and nothing picked up from Embark, these people hit every shot first two rounds…… bs

I want the game to grow, but not at this expense. Some are purely good, and I tip my hat… but all of us are seeing this.

[nimble gale]

Can we get LAVA LUSTER skin for the FAMAS

[dark niche]

i love everything added in this update, and while i cant think of anything that desperately needs changes, no balance changes.?

[vale carbon]

can we nerf throwing knives yet? that shit does not need to be doing 100 damage per knife or 200 if ur spamming m2, its so fucking cancer and unfair to fight, there's barely any skill involved to use it either because they fly so fast and are infinite so you can literally just spam at a guy until you land 3-4 hits which is easy as shit

[eager lily]

Me and my buddy came up with a new game mode: it’s TDM but we both are Heavy’s with Charge and Slam and Hammer, and the primary objective is to destroy all the buildings (which is very fun) but if enemie players are disturbing you, you can come out of the rubble and kill them… but don’t worry it actually works we do win [also embark can you add a demolition score as well as, support, objective and combat. Thx!]

[chrome lichen]

Totally on board with guns (mainly BFR but the trio of rifles as well) getting the same treatment as sniper in terms of bullet drop or non-hitscan at certain range. Damage fall off would probably think a little about but totally understand it shouldn't out perform the sniper at certain distances but I do think the rifles should still provide some competition. That is, if the game can handle it. I don't think it would help the discourse around hitreg and such and maybe even make some of those problems worse. However if all things run smooth and such, it is a good idea.

[near silo]

Completely agree. The BFR would not have been a problem if it were on light, as each of the classes were designed around advantages and disadvantages, with namely the heavy being built with a lack of long-range in mind. The Lewis gun was meta for so long for heavy because it had the best fall-off stat compared to the rest of the classes line-up at the time. The BFR is almost an exact copy of the KS-23, but has hit-scan and headshots- so why play the KS-23? Why would you add another weapon to a class that already has one that is almost identical? The KS-23 was blanaced around being a projectile-based burst weapon, with its slow projectile limiting its effectiveness at range- but then the BFR ignores all of this intentional design. It was similar for the Hammer for heavy as well, where it was designed for having a set engagement distance but the winch broke that so it was nerfed, and then the winch warped the rest of heavies burst weapons around it as well, where no weapon can do more than 105 damage lest it lead to a winch melee combo. This, along with the BFR, is terrible design iteration as it ignores the pervious design intent set a the games conception.

nerf the 93-r and make it so while being winched you can shoot back

Remove sonar capabilities from mediums. That was a terrible choice you made many seasons ago.

[rustic tinsel]

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

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

[languid niche]

Can we get a “hard core” mode?

Everyone has considerably lower HP (approximately half their normal HP value) and health regen is disabled. Heck maybe you even take fall damage (unless you use a jump pad ofc). If building debris falls on the player they take some damage (depending on velocity). Things like UFO and Meteor Shower would one shot the player. I don’t see why this would be a bad idea considering every contestant has a healing gadget. Maybe it could be a fun LTM.

[radiant harbor]

Oh look, another Easy lobby in ranked full of smurf teams. So we lose a ton of points when in reality it was a challenging lobby and we barely should have lost any. Fix this plz.

[acoustic crater]

Teaming is a problem in this game.

[broken bolt]

random game mode idea:

foundation to be world tour/rank for all ideas:

1: you can build a L/M/H specific to this game mode and it is assigned at random upon entering lobby (maybe with no reserve gadgets?)

2: same as above but every round your class changes (maybe only keeping it to HML so its as even as possible for both of these ideas)

could add even more chaos by randomizing gadgets % class spec

The latest event you added is amazing especially the free skins, they’re fantastic. I’m a dedicated player who never misses a single daily quest. But the system feels a bit unforgiving. It seems that if you miss even one or two days, you can’t reach the final reward. Would you consider making a change for that?

[thorny lynx]

I am sure everyone agrees.... What is with all the lvl 0-30ish smurfs? Did you kick some cheaters so they can get their accts back right away and start cheating again?
It has always been BAD, but for some reason it is worse than ever?? I am constantly matched with lvl 20's as a lvl 114.... I am constantly getting smoked by low lvl 14's across the map with meta loadouts.
This is serious to me. EMBARK is doing nothing but changing non working anti-cheats, avoiding the main issue, then writing some love letter in the season patch notes like they are actually working on this?! It has now officially become annoying AF. Matchmaking is broke, cheating is almost every single match and then now a smurfing issue like never before.

Embark Please. Dearly i love your game. I can't play like this anymore.

[worn shuttle]

While I do agree that the sword being restricted to 40° IS dumb. I don't think the decision to add a restriction was. Sword SHOULD be able to multi hit, but shouldn't just be rewarded for a missplay such as using the lung too close to an enemy and zipping past them, so just flipping around would allow you to hit. In my opinion it should be 180° to the front. This would allow the restriction to punish sword players using the lung out of position, but also allow them to make better use of the multi hit. From what I understand the devs are trying to make sword a full on brawling weapon with ambush capabilities. Other weapons don't have a movement based alt attack, so you have to treat it a little differently. Sword also has a significantly faster charge than dagger, so the pacing of attacks is faster, has higher overall dps, movement, and range (albeit not a lot more). The change to 180° would allow for a more streamlined idea for the purpose of the attack. We don't want melee weapons to be "meta", but we want it to be a fun and skillful new way to play. By making it 180°, you make it MORE skillful on positioning and still have it's identity as a multi hit brawler.

Also balancing with buffs ruins the game for casual players.. Don't do that. Another game I use to love did that and it makes the game unplayable. Imagine every weapon being like fighting double barrel...

[primal frost]

I think it would be better if the sword player rotation was locked instead of the camera, that way you would still have the conquistador gameplay against a sword without the clunky feeling it has right now.
Maybe it'd look weird in 3rd person but they could just make the character rotation locked till the m2 animation is finished, and then have them quickly turn around after.

Poke meta is particularly frustrating to play against. The trouble is I'm not quite sure how to deal with balancing it other than hard nerfs, which I'd rather avoid as power leak is something I really worry about. But the poke weapon meta is very powerful this season and is not fun to play against, especially if you aren't running a poke comp yourself. I also think it's weird that the poke meta is prevalent once again especially since it was frustrating to play against in previous seasons. Particularly in the later half of season 4 and start of season 5.

[slow crescent]

Hi embark! Im glad your game now in really good condition and i have some suggestions for you:

1)I want to return features with goo like goo ship or goo launch. Its anyway requires a lot of time to setup it for use, but adds much more fun and strategy in game.
2)Also want to see nukes with some rework, just as feature, not way to destroy everything. At least let me use chair as a C4 holder or something

I know, there is a lot of light player who have a Vietnam flashbacks with it and ppl who think that heavy is op, so, that my suggest of new spec for Light class:

Second Chance - after 20 heath remaining gives effect like nullifier and speed boost to escape fight. Then it will recharge like 60 seconds.

I hope you enjoy my suggestions!

The AKM has to have a linear recoil pattern, to be able to compete with literally every other gun in the game.
(Linear meaning an easier and more predictable recoil pattern than its current ? shaped one).

It being a "Jack of all trades" doesn't apply when literally any other gun can outdo what the AKM does, and oftentimes even better. Be it damage with the linear recoil of the SCAR, the stability and therefore easy kills with the P90, and the outright insulting good recoil management of the ARN-220.

Unless you want to anger the playerbase by nerfing weapons they enjoy, I would suggest buffing the guns that are less used, if at all, to make them more appealing.

--Edit:
Also, due to its difficult to control the gun, makes it a rather unappealing choice for existing players, and a rather denied choice by the new players. With a horizontal buff, at least at the beginning of the firing (first 10 I think?) it'll be more appealing to the new players, appealing for existing players, and nothing will change for the players who main it all the way.

[quick coyote]

I have some complaints on the current event, Haunted Harvest. I play quite a bit of the Finals but I find the event very punishing if you miss a day. There should be at least a week grace period before the pumpkins start rotting. I’m more than happy to spend money on this game but having to spend multibucks on the event feels like a kick in the face. I have outside commitments and can’t always play, I was really discouraged to play more when I was locked out of getting the final reward. Not to mention the cosmetics I really wanted were the first to get revealed since I missed two days. Other than that I really enjoy the finals and all it has to offer, I love the cosmetics and spend a lot of time working on my contestants. This just left me feeling unsure.

[frigid meteor]

Hi The Finals team. I am loving the event and smashing the pumpkins for the rewards. As someone who has played through every "wheelspin" event and been playing since launch, this is probably one of the best event systems you have used. However, I encountered something yesterday where it is causing me to spend far more for items I missed earlier in the event. By that I mean originally the item I missed was the "Bobble-head pumpkin" thingy which is about 200 multibux, and so I thought, "No biggie, I will get it at the end of the event after everything else." Then the next day it allowed me to get that item naturally as if i hadn't missed the day before by smashing that pumpkin, so I did. However, the next day, it now says I am still missing an item (Because i missed a day) except now it has changed to the 800 multibux red devil mask. So I dont know how it switched from one of the cheapest items to buy in the event to the most expensive one, but now I have to pay 4 times the amount I would have had to earlier. I assume this is a glitch and just wanted to report it, Idk what can be done in my case but... ye

[odd prism]

I have ideas on how to balance a few things.

Since cloak is super weak right now, I think you should be able to walk more stealthily for the same amount of time or more time to walk while cloaked. This would nudge it a bit and make it a bit more reliable tbh.

Since you guys are trying to decrease goo usage, I think that goo grenade should get one charge and recharges at like every 20-25 seconds. This would allow people to think more about their goo placement and or let mediums not run goo grenade. Or let heavy have two goo charges and lights/mediums one goo charge because they’re larger and heavies are mostly about fortifications and destruction.

[quartz cedar]

Fix performance after last update, THANKS.
Never had any issues with performance, now i lose up to 50% of my FPS WAY TOO FREQUENTLY, (old minimum was about 130, current minimum is 85-90, even when no buildings are breaking.) occasional stutter, and terrible frame times. Didn't even know numbers displaying FPS / frame time could change colors until this patch, because I never dropped FPS like this before.

@frigid meteor same thing happened to me, just the other way around. I got the mask rotten, and the next day I was able to get the mask again, but now a 200 multibux item is rotten. I’m pretty sure you can still get the mask even if it shows as rotten, but you’ll still have to buy at least one item at the end to get the ghoul cosmetic.

Overall, this event feels really fair to me. Those who can commit to the game the most get rewards in a predictable way, and those like @quick coyote who can’t spend 10 minutes a day can just buy what they want. You can pretty much guarantee a pumpkin smash if you play one Powershift match where you deal 3500 damage, revive one person, and get 10 eliminations. So, to me the time commitment doesn't sound too bad. Although I too have other commitments in life and now have to find time to play The Finals for 10-20 minutes each day. That’s way better than the RNG wheel from the past where the odds were stacked against you. I also love that you don’t need to play the new limited-time mode to earn rewards.

As for the Ghoul Rush, I’ve played around 50 matches and won about 10 of them. Overall, it feels boring and unbalanced. The best strategy that I found as a survivor is to camp with a turret on a rock at the southern edge of the map and clear all the trees so ghouls can’t reach you unless there are like 8-10 of them, by which point you’ve already really close to winning the round. Boring, but it works. If you turn into a ghoul at the start of a round, it’s basically gg for you, and there’s not much incentive to keep playing. You can’t even target whoever’s winning since there are no nicknames and everyone is lit up equally. I think it’d be better if the #1 player was the brightest and the light gradually dimmed for others. Ghouls should also get more points for eliminations and assists.

@quartz cedar same, me and most ppl I play with started to get random stutters and FPS dips this season.

[hollow kelp]

sure the bfr needs a nerf but the r.357 is fine. nerfing something because cheaters use it is just wrong and they should improve the anti-cheat rather than punishing the high skill wepons

[proud plinth]

Bfr needs some slight reworking but the r357 is fine. The reason shak and flame doesnt "beat" the bfr or r357 is because they are meant to do more damage over the open they're chip guns. The shak and flame will beat the bfr and r357 in 90% of close range fights the only time you wont win is if you miss your more of your shots.

My Suggestion for the game is better customization in the Private Match lobby.
I am currently working on a wireframe for the menu design but essentially:

• Add either pages, or dropdown menus that allow
  • Forced Loadouts - can make lights have CnS, Heavy can have a sword, ect...
  • Setting game rules - Score limit, score per kill, game event
  • Set player modifiers - movement speed, jump height, health
    The over head on this is relatively low and would create an influx of players who want to just have some fun casual play with the boys for a night, and who knows maybe someone will create the next ltm.

[untold hazel]

but arc hasnt released yet how would he know whats in the store?

[ebon isle]

club management need improvements, you cant see a persons rank when they are applying, or anywhere else either inside club management, trying to manage lets say gold+ club is kinda impossible since theres no way to keep track of the members or appliants

[granite agate]

Nerf uhm nerf uhhhhh yeah

[tall herald]

an option to equip sounds, emotes, sprays, signature sticker and stuff to all loadouts at once would be really nice

[wide vortex]

Still havent updated the game. Where is the new patch where you rework winch and lockbolt?

[dusty igloo]

Make the quick play grind non existant. Its a casual mode, a grind added is not casual, I do not want to play quick play.
Remove seoul moving platforms completely, its a mess to fight on, and its just free hospitals

[jovial trench]

You guys are killing your game by keeping this meta the way it is. Just saying. I know the Major is super important but making everyone play the same meta for a season straight is ridiculous

[untold grotto]

MMR is garbage. Why tf am I put in the sweatiest fucking lobbies. Be the first game to have an unemployed section. I’m garbage ik. But no reason to make it not fun. I played this game after work and now bc of sweats im thinking about deleting. Fix your fucking shit.

[outer jetty]

REMOVE THE POKE WEAPONS! IT DESTROYS THE GAME!

What's the point of playing Minigun?
What's the point of playing CL-40?
What's the point of V9S? (93R Meta)
What's the point of .50 Akimbo?

Also Remove Winch. Destroys full control of your gameplay.
Keep heavies heal ball and remove light's healing gun.

The game should be unique and not drivin into meta system and full team support winning rate.

The goo grenade is such a major great idea since season 1. Why just remove the idea of supporting your team like that? Instead of everyone using heals.

I'm really sad how the game is being such a headache to play nowadays.

• Poke Weapons (With headshots) being a insane major-change in the meta.
• Winch claw being such a annoying tool to fight against but easy to use.
• Some poke weapons that should stay in the game. (Pike, R .357, Sniper Rifle, Bow, LH1, V9S, Throwing Knifes, Model, Cerberus, KS-23, .50 AKIMBO)

Whenever a new season drops with new weapons is such an issue for playing the game with skill and without. Doing so much damage in one shot just because you have aim. It doesn't deserve to be 80+ free damage. It should've been skilled with FCAR and AKM for medium. But heavy getting a sniper pistol is insane choice. And light being the sniper class is fine. Has 150 health and it's easy to take care of.

But have heavy with 350 health with a sniper weapon is stupid. With medium having the repeater that does MORE damage than shotgun (model) from close and far range with a headshot. That means there is an issue already. Why are you using a graph to balancing weapons in this game? WIth these poke weapons existing, There is a reason some don't use it. Because not alot are skilled enough to hit every-shot but there is some can hit any shot. Being the victim side of the poke weapon is painful but being the user. It's such joy and fun. Having a meta is an issue for The Finals.

Embark Please. Dearly i love your game. I can't play like this anymore.

PPLLLLLLSSSSS

balance the game around high rank players.

why?

BECAUSE LOW RANK/CASUAL PLAYERS PLAY THE GAME SUBOPTIMALLY.

fuck people having no fun bc they dont want to actively learn to get better. this is already a complex game where you need to think and be creative to get better results. it has enough to offer that is FUN. we dont need „casual fun“ weapon balancing

make all weapons playable (nerf the op ones)

accept that you need to drastically change firerates if you want to keep the hp pools AND achive balance.

@outer jetty absolutely right, no words for this stupid decisions. and the weapons arent even hard to play. this is killing the game for me, they keep enlarging the gap between good weapons and the other ones. while the good ones get less and less.

[night drift]

plz remove the rotting of the pumpkins

[jagged vector]

This game is a joke. Why would you basically cut out healing for mediums and give it to everybody else especially he as well as it’s getting so frustrating playing against players who just hold hands and heal each other. Healing needs to be passive meaning if you get shot all healing stops or remove each plus infuser and the healing ball and revert the way it was. Once I’m done the battle pass this Halloween event I’m done.

Hi everyone 😄

Im grinding exp rn

[dense fossil]

ive been wondering why i lost interest in this game and i think ive realized its because thermal was removed. it isnt that i want thermal vision, its actually because using thermal was the only was i was able to spot enemies and see WTF is going on in the game.

Please please fix enemy clarity for low-spec pcs... I would love if i could have the rendering of ENVIRONMENT be extremely blurry at 50% but enemy models and outlines to be rendered at crisp 100%. idk if that is possible. i have tried every combo of frame generation etc and the game is only playable when enemies are literal pixels. its honestly the only reason i used thermal to begin with.

I have r7 8700g cpu which is an APU with 780m graphics, its the equiv of a gtx 1660 iirc

So you know the sounds tab in the expressions? Imagine you can choose a sound to play on your totem the second it dies. I think it would be a very small but very cool thing to have added to the game.

[rigid oxide]

Question for the devs - Would you ever consider having a sort of creature-summoning specialization for medium?

If so, any idea what form it would take?

I'm thinking of like... maybe something somewhat harmless and really distracting like a fire elemental?

Or maybe like a dog or wolf as in a hunter class? (for the fantasy/medieval?)

I was thinking of Druid as medium but maybe it's a heavy shapeshifter??

And then light would be... the caster? (because it already has rogue covererd)

[north eagle]

really weird glitch where if you take a gateway right after placing it or something your weapon (or maybe just dagger) gets glitched and you have to equip something else and then switch back to your weapon to use it. crouching has input lag for some reason (is this intentional?) and light still holds his daggers backwards

I hope you will fix the performance issues ASAP because It's not the first time that it happens to me that an update Divided by 2 but FPS It's very tiring In the long run Once again I can't play the games anymore Make an effort You're going to do a major at 100k soon And your game is not at all E-sport Ready It's the game with the least fps of my entire list of games I don't like talking like that at all but after a while my nerves are on edge It's not the first time That a famous update destroys the fps

[wraith igloo]

💯 Game has devolved into beta quality across the board and embark is MIA.

Hit reg is the worst it’s ever been, being killed 10m around corners, shots randomly doing 0 dmg.

Game is still freezing randomly for 5+ seconds, sometimes multiple times in a single round. This is such a huge critical issue, how is it not top priority to fix this???

Still 0 matchmaking or team balancing in all casual modes. 90% of casual modes are now utterly unplayable unbalanced garbage with my whole team going 0-5 within the first 3 mins. Why are there whole teams of ruby players going against whole teams of new players.

Still 0 priority for separating solo and party queue.

Goo nades and goo barrels are becoming so unpredictable I question whether it’s worth using them at all anymore. Will it make a wall or glitch sideways under the floor? Or make a line going straight up and blow out the ceiling? Who knows?

The chat window still gets stuck on your screen if you type in spectator and redeploy.

Sound effects like enemy fire or shooting your gun are randomly missing.

Rampant cheating.

‘Can’t shoot’ bug still there.

BFR pistol still way op.

Oh but don’t worry guys, embark reworked the m60 skin, or something…which nobody asked for or even noticed…

[trail flame]

More blatant cheaters in the game snapping around shots. People with "CHEAT" in their name like cheatrun and other things while blatantly cheating/hacking in the game. Also if I block someone, why am I still in games and on teams with them? Blocking someone should block them. I don't understand the option if it doesn't.

[chrome lichen]

I can dig the idea of adding Denuvo as a step and don't think it's the reason behind negative performance that seems to be plaguing this season but I do question why. I would guess it's to look like your going to foster a competitive scene. However if that's the case why wouldn't there be a harsher stance on cheaters or at least appear like it's discouraged. Perhaps an Ip ban, or permanent ban if you stick to just the account. It's F2P, nothing is stopping someone from creating another account. So just that one issue and avoiding **all **the others, the integrity of a "competitive" scene is compromised. It's hard to justify balancing around that and make decisions top-down from that, when as a player I don't take it seriously as a competitive game just starting from there. I feel if you wanna make it at least appear that there is an effort to foster competition (which i would assume that is why if you take the timing in consideration along with the addition of Denuvo) you should start at that foundational level. Aligning with a controversial name can generate buzz but whether or not it actually does anything is rendered moot due the fact there is very little penalty for cheating.

[summer bear]

Hey

[analog silo]

Well im the best sword in the game, so MY young pupil, grab a seat and ill tell you more. The issue with smoke has nothing to do with not being able to see through it. The issue is it lasted forever (pre nerf) we had 3 of them lasting 15 secs each which means by my self i could smoke a point for 45 secs. Assuming it didn't get blown up, gassed, or winched (which is what makes smoke users confused because people can do a lot to stop smoke). The biggest issue now is per smoke you have a 47 sec cooldown meaning you dont have shiz for 1 min 34 seconds which is forever making them useless. They need to come back way way way quicker. As for people fighting them they need to WAKE UP. you have 57 options to stop smoke. if you run into smoke and die that is your fault use explosives or gas or winch or a number of other strategies (not even mentioning that smokes LITERALLY don't work in some spots on the new maps) People complain in this game because they suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

It also doesn’t help that when they push an update there is a 50/50 chance that they actually fixed what they set out to fix and every update they introduce 1-2 new bugs or break something.

Classes should be as minimal a template as possible, we should be aiming for the maximum diversity of possible playstyles in each class.
LLH is a weaker team comp than LMH. They aren’t doing that because it’s viable, they just want to for some other reason.

Heal emitter is a team support gadget and its healing is slow… and it’s not even very viable. I don’t think them “camping with heals” is a problem, it’s a strategy that can be countered in several ways.

I have had a couple of issues recently:

1. I dont believe I missed a day for the pumpkin smash event but it opened then closed then opened one of the pumpkins for me (and is now paid)
2. I have completed my 3 contracts for today but I cant smash a pumpkin
3. I tried to respawn today but the game didnt allow me to even after pressing my spacebar (even though I know it works as I am currently writing with it, as well as when I was in game I was using the chat and having spaces)

[rustic tinsel]

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

Stop ruining game with nerfs, balance it with buffs instead.

[nimble gale]

I would like you guys release the LAVA LUSTER skin for the FAMAS

[rancid ridge]

Couldn't have said it better. The game is in horrible state. There is even a bug (it only happens to me in power shift), that doesn't alow me to respawn. I need to change my gun in order to respawn, which is bs. The de-sync is so large, that my duo sees completely different thing from what i'm seeing. On his screen apperantly i'm shooting at someone, while on my screen my crosshair is next to him. There have been countless times where my goo nade just glitches and instead of building a wall, it does a line on the floor and i get killed cause of that. The sounds glitch more often then ever. I won't even talk about the matchmaking, cause there ain't one. The fps gets less the more seasons there are - by season 10 pc's with 5090 will get 100 fps on low settings. Can we try to fix the game before giving guns new model.

The goo grenade is such a major great idea since season 1. Why just remove the idea of supporting your team like that? Instead of everyone using heals.

I'm really sad how the game is being such a headache to play nowadays.

• Poke Weapons (With headshots) being a insane major-change in the meta.
• Winch claw being such a annoying tool to fight against but easy to use.
• Some poke weapons that should stay in the game. (Pike, R .357, Sniper Rifle, Bow, LH1, V9S, Throwing Knifes, Model, Cerberus, KS-23, .50 AKIMBO)

Whenever a new season drops with new weapons is such an issue for playing the game with skill and without. Doing so much damage in one shot just because you have aim. It doesn't deserve to be 80+ free damage. It should've been skilled with FCAR and AKM for medium. But heavy getting a sniper pistol is insane choice. And light being the sniper class is fine. Has 150 health and it's easy to take care of.

But have heavy with 350 health with a sniper weapon is stupid. With medium having the repeater that does MORE damage than shotgun (model) from close and far range with a headshot. That means there is an issue already. Why are you using a graph to balancing weapons in this game? WIth these poke weapons existing, There is a reason some don't use it. Because not alot are skilled enough to hit every-shot but there is some can hit any shot. Being the victim side of the poke weapon is painful but being the user. It's such joy and fun. Having a meta is an issue for The Finals.

Embark Please. Dearly i love your game. I can't play like this anymore.

Weapon revamp for .357. The final verdict looks like it is made of plastic compared to horizon shimmer

[upper citrus]

Agree 100%

Balancing for casual just means you are balancing poorly. Casual players don’t actually care when a game is balanced competitively and will still enjoy it as long as it’s balanced well for competitive players. CS has one of the biggest casual playerbases in the world and it’s fully balanced and designed for competitive.

[slow wing]

Idea for cashout:

Make cashout a single round of 3v3v3v3.

This would probs fix the issue of griefing the weaker team into the next round as there would be no next round.

This would also make gaining and losing elo take the same amount of time.
Right now you can lose 1,5k in 10 minutes and potentially only gain like 200 in like 35 minutes

Grav cube rework ideas:

1. make it stick to surfaces only (not barrels or anything) that way you can change gravity in any direction
2. or alternatively make the physical cube despawn after a second or two after activation similar to the vortex box despawn if but with a slight delay so the current grav cube has an opportunity to to get better value if not destroyed very quickly after deployment.

He doesn't. He is saying 'The Finals should have an Italian flag skin, because Embark is making a game set in Italy (Arc Raiders)'

[wind flame]

The ranked system suffers from a big psykological factor. When you gain points, but lose the round, you dont realize you've gained points. The loss of the round still stings. The only way you feel good about a win is if you win the whole tourney, so only 1/8 teams are satisfied with the results.

My proposal to solve this isse:
Make the ranked gain / loss of points tied to the cash that you extract, and make it visible in-game how much you need to climb, as well as a progress bar towards "going even". This means you have a goal you see in game and can work towards, that will make it more clear when you've "done enough" to not lose points.

[young jetty]

I second this

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈Add pride flags to the finals!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

I can’t speak for PC users but on console it is genuinely impossible to hit dash users consistently due to sensitivity.

Dual blades are probably the worst melee in the game rn and definitely need a rebalancing (NOT a buff)

Add a juggling animation for the dual blades!

I’ve already talked about it but sword is actually ridiculous in its current state and desperately needs a nerf. Its combo with evasive dash is actually crazy especially against console players who literally can’t move their camera fast enough.

This is a huge one for me personally as a mainly melee user, a light with evasive dash COMPLETELY counters every single melee in the ENTIRE game shit is actually ridiculous. The only way to fight a dash light with a melee weapon is to use evasive dash as well which should not be the way it is. I’m not saying to nerf it into the ground but please add some kind of counter/option for melee users against dash lights

Please pay actual voice actors instead of using AI voices, it degrades the quality of the game and is unethical 😭

finally invisibility is incredibly inconsistent across all platforms… PLEASE make it consistent. It should absolutely not under any circumstances make fights rely entirely upon how much money your willing to spend on you gaming system. On ps4 it is GENUINELY invisible while on a newer console/PC it doesn’t even compare. This is by far my biggest gripe about the game in its current state.

Also add goblins to the finals

[hollow sierra]

[wooden void]

Suggestion for ranked to counter 3rd and 4th partying

When a cash box is plugged a massive bubble is made around a large portion of the area, only one team is allowed in that said area at a time. But to make sure people don’t just sit inside and farm cash outs, have a timer on the bubble so after a certain amount of time, or 20 seconds after you defeat the squad inside the bubble, a third party can then come in. It gives enough time for the team already in there to reset and would fix spawning as people can’t just rush into the closest point with a fight.

Plus having a timer on the bubble means people have to risk the third party if the other cash out has a harder team to kill.

In my eyes it seems fair but if there are parts that I’m not seeing just leave a comment and like/ subscribe

Add Bonus Pages to legacy BPs, they were not there before and you pay money for em, no reason not to do it

[calm kraken]

THE FINALS LTM Idea, The Shocking Conclusion:

• All Lights

• Grappling Hook

• SR-84

• Goo Grenade

• Vanish Bomb,

• Defibrillator (it's from Medium but Heavy Hitters gave Heavy the Jump Pad sooo).

But here's the twist: You can only eliminate opponents with the Defibrillator (SR-84 and all other sources of damage except Defib leaves them with 1HP)

• Defibrilator damage is reduced to 5, cooldown is reduced to 10 seconds on hit, but now, if you miss, you are penalised with a 20-second cooldown instead (normally doesn't activate the Defib at all and keeps it held, but this LTM highlights the risk and reward strategy).

Does this sound fun?

[fleet socket]

Bonus pages were added during season 2 cause people completed the base battle pass too soon, they are meant to show off you played a lot during the season. The bonus pages didn't come back to respect the people who put in the extra games to hit those levels (they used to cost a lot more than this season's)

[copper blaze]

Nerf Dash
Nerf light in any other way possible.

Introduce SBMM in casual mode / a ranked version of Powershift.

[slender pine]

(1) winch is OP

(2) healing gadgets were a bad decision

(3) invincibility after being defibbed is re-tard-ed

[gritty jetty]

Light is barely viable outside of quick cash without infuser and dash

If you keep losing to Lights I suggest you install an aim trainer of some kind because the ttk a light is faster than the Lights ttk on anyone else

[coarse scroll]

please add goblins to the game

[proud plinth]

I love the idea but it needs a bit more chaos.
I think making it only the defib and the defib does 400dmg so no matter what its a one shot, then you have a 2 second cooldown with the one second charge.
Keeping goo, grapple, and vanish bomb is perfect, maybe have knife as the weapon but make it so it does little to no damage at least that it cant do the final hit.

Dead series question… is there any plans in place to make sure the finals doesn’t die when Arc Raiders comes out? The player count is shrinking and it’s scary… 🥺

[hybrid silo]

If this game is a bastion of hope for the FPS genre then we are truly fucked. This game doesn’t deserve 90% of the praise it gets and it’s astonishing how low people’s standards are these days. The only things worthy of praise in this game are the graphics and the customisation system, that’s it. With every update they manage to introduce 1-2 new bugs, performance gets worse every time, there’s barely any unique LTM, balancing is the worst I have ever seen plus they are still balancing guns from launch that’s how lost they are, the ranked mode should be only casual at best and servers are also garbage since launch. Until S3 there was insane potential for this but since then it has gone only downhill.

HARPOON FOR LIGHT CLASS
The fast long range projectile sticks to players and surfaces and blows up after a few milliseconds (shorter fuse then thermal bore) and the weapon should have built in scope for long range accuracy,it is more unique then giving light class a thumper.

The projectile is fast but maybe have more of an arc for balance.
Incendiary explosion should have sparks and have fire damage when it falls down on enemies cause at least u need skill and timing.
This isn't used for destruction like thermal bore just fire damage.

yeah, climbing has some issues
being unable to climb, or rubberbanding down after climbing are some of them

but my main gripe with it, is that it often happens on its own when you didnt want to
and if it happens while an enemy is nearby, youre likely gonna take massive damage because of how slow you feel

id love for vaulting/climbing to be faster/smoother
maybe also have it tied to an optional button alongside using ladders, so it doesnt happen on its own, and more consistently happens when we intend to

[wraith orchid]

PPLLLLLLSSSSS

balance the game around high rank players.

why?

BECAUSE LOW RANK/CASUAL PLAYERS PLAY THE GAME SUBOPTIMALLY.

fuck people having no fun bc they dont want to actively learn to get better. this is already a complex game where you need to think and be creative to get better results. it has enough to offer that is FUN. we dont need „casual fun“ weapon balancing

make all weapons playable (nerf the op ones)

accept that you need to drastically change firerates if you want to keep the hp pools AND achive balance.

just look at the stats how often a light wins against a heavy bfr. look at the ratio. plllls

bugs that are in the game for decades now:

• portal not activating on 1st or 2nd throw.

• spacebar to respawn doesnt work and you have to wait till next teamwipe

-vault icon suddenly dissapears for a moment when already activated and carried along

-explosive barrels to no damage when thrown at the enemy

-sniper hitreg issues (i have around 50 clips of that)

-sniper anamation issues where you hold the weapon at a weird angle and only see ironsights if you ads

ill be taking time off from the finals due to its current state.
The servers seem horrible, constant lag this past two weeks. Im dying behind literal closed doors…

the winch wildly annoying now and i cant even get out of it with dash. Before that felt like a fair trade if i timed it right but whatver buff it got made it invincible with the stun.

Pc players with suss aim and console users with xims seem to be far more especially with a smurf account. Once again asking to separete console from pc also just due to the aim. Tired of getting one shot or two shot from across the map from pc. Other games have this why is this ignored???

Would love to see my ping rate - been asking for this since OB…

I cant play this game with my casual friend anymore because of how sweaty it is. Its just not fun. Even with my sweaty friend its hard and not too enjoyable - the meta has become so cheesy and try hard with medium ratting and heals.
Plus yall took away my one way to combat it with thermal and smokes meanwhile every class has BS combos….

[half mountain]

I'm at a loss with this game now. I've been playing since the Open Beta and I've wanted to enjoy it so bad but its getting to a point where I'm about to stop playing altogether. All the people I played it with before have either dropped it or are taking extended breaks from the game just because its in such a bad state for casual play.

Aside from people playing like rats or insane combos on certain classes, the matchmaking is especially horrible. I just stopped playing after a 3 game loss streak where my teammates did essentially nothing but rush in a die on repeat, and in one of those 3 games both my teammates left. These are world tour games too so essentially I'm fucked when that happens. I've been having this issue for what feels like months now and I don't see any silver lining.

I really like this games concept and the movement but If I just get stuck with what seems like new players every game then it takes all the fun out of it.

Change 93r range dropoff from 32m-42m to 25 meters with full dropoff at 38m. Currently too biased towards long range with the damage it does and outperforms close range options with better hip fire at average engagement ranges.
25-38 brings it to more of a median range between long options and short options without it feeling like a burst lazer in 9/10 engagements.

[frozen pelican]

I don't normally comment on limited time gamemodes because it's hard to continue creating new and inventive limited time game modes that are still fun while also presenting the theme of the event.
That being said, the new halloween gamemode is absolute dogwater and it's not even a question. People just find the most creative ways to camp on medium with goo nades, and sit there the whole game. If they set it up right, you literally can't even approach them without being incredibly easy to gun down. Everyone just picks a corner and sits, and hopes nobody runs up to them. And if you get killed and have to be a ghoul? May as well just leave the game at that point because everyone you're going to try to kill is just sitting in some ridiculous camping spot with turrets and mines. I saw a medium in the game I just played who somehow set up a goo fort in the trees, and was easily 5-6 body lengths upwards. It was not possible to get up there without goo mines, let alone kill him with a measly dagger as the weapon I had available to me. Whoever greenlit the release of this gamemode, I ask you: how in the actual hell did you have fun playing this? If I wanted to play a camping simulator, I'd drive up to Yellowstone and go camping. The Finals is about fast-paced action, not a competition between who can pick the most untouchable spot to set up their turret-mine-goo-nade-tent.
Obviously, it's too late to fix this gamemode, it's only got 8 days left. Nothing can be done to fix this sorry excuse of a halloween event, but maybe keep this in mind for future limited time gamemodes: Is it playable? Is it fun? Does it capture the spirit of the theme of the event? And above all, how can the physics in this new gamemode be exploited? (Looking at you, cashball, where lights would sit on the jump pad and just score goal after goal after goal because nobody could touch them).
All that said, the cosmetics sure are on theme. Good? questionable at best, but they're well themed at least.

SOMEONE AT EMBARK NEEDS TO FIX THAT LAME ASS GLITCH WHERE PEOPLE CAN JUST HIDE THE CASHOUT WITH DEMAT AND ITS LITERALLY UNOBTAINABLE. DONT EVEN WANNA PLAY RANKED ANYMORE.

[raven garnet]

make elevators have destroyable walls but leave the frame intact. make legacy tokens be used freely along the pages. or at least start making getting currency for them not 3 seasons long. use VR 5000 for 10 legacy tokens.

[gaunt bay]

removing defibs from tdm actually fixed the mode, now lets remove snipers from power shift

[oblique notch]

hide it with demat? can't you just destroy the wall to it? lol

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

Stop ruining game with nerfs, balance it with buffs instead.

[fringe hatch]

We ❤️ The Finals

[zinc scaffold]

nerf dash to be only usable out of combat 👍

[vague blaze]

make dagger's charged attack start by tapping right click instead of hold if you have toggle aim enabled

[twin helm]

sword is too easy to use nerf how fast its primary attack can be used

[lean prawn]

Can we get a legacy pass progression buff I’m trying to finish one and it’s taking ages but the season 8 pass progression is fine so make it comparable to the current season

[faint saddle]

Make guns also only shoot out of combat while we are at it

[honest wing]

i can get behind that idea

[calm kraken]

I think that's a good idea, but I want the defib to be more of a "finisher" than a oneshot from full

[slender topaz]

REMOVE THE POKE WEAPONS! IT DESTROYS THE GAME!

What's the point of playing Minigun?
What's the point of playing CL-40?
What's the point of V9S? (93R Meta)
What's the point of .50 Akimbo?

Also Remove Winch. Destroys full control of your gameplay.
Keep heavies heal ball and remove light's healing gun.

The game should be unique and not drivin into meta system and full team support winning rate.

The goo grenade is such a major great idea since season 1. Why just remove the idea of supporting your team like that? Instead of everyone using heals.

I'm really sad how the game is being such a headache to play nowadays.

• Poke Weapons (With headshots) being a insane major-change in the meta.
• Winch claw being such a annoying tool to fight against but easy to use.
• Some poke weapons that should stay in the game. (Pike, R .357, Sniper Rifle, Bow, LH1, V9S, Throwing Knifes, Model, Cerberus, KS-23, .50 AKIMBO)

Whenever a new season drops with new weapons is such an issue for playing the game with skill and without. Doing so much damage in one shot just because you have aim. It doesn't deserve to be 80+ free damage. It should've been skilled with FCAR and AKM for medium. But heavy getting a sniper pistol is insane choice. And light being the sniper class is fine. Has 150 health and it's easy to take care of.

But have heavy with 350 health with a sniper weapon is stupid. With medium having the repeater that does MORE damage than shotgun (model) from close and far range with a headshot. That means there is an issue already. Why are you using a graph to balancing weapons in this game? WIth these poke weapons existing, There is a reason some don't use it. Because not alot are skilled enough to hit every-shot but there is some can hit any shot. Being the victim side of the poke weapon is painful but being the user. It's such joy and fun. Having a meta is an issue for The Finals.

Embark Please. Dearly i love your game. I can't play like this anymore.

[signal basin]

Lol still no balance. Funny. Or not

[twilit cairn]

balance every 3 weeks

[ancient oriole]

i think there is skill issue for most of these complaints

[mighty vault]

DEMAT NEEDS A COUNTER.

[upper citrus]

there is tons of counterplay. nothing needs an item based hard counter, thats bad game design

[quartz ivy]

Put Bonus Pages into Legacy Battle Passes. Paid content should not change

[jade cloak]

Major going on.

[wispy ivy]

the second image shows literally nothing, you're obscured by the coins and that many coins also means the screenshot was taken a couple frames after you got hit

do they have to remove all high damage weapons because some people have bad connections?

[cedar idol]

will we ever have CUDA physics calculations from NVIDIA?
It's just that not everyone has a 50 series graphics card, but if you have at least a 40 series, it will be much easier for the processor, right?

[copper blaze]

Randomise recoil patterns.
Remove invincibility after defib revive.
Nerf dash.

[lost token]

nerf the cl40, its waaaaaaay too easy for some deadbrained medium to get on a jump pad and bombard you

[sterile canopy]

They’re right that it is fundamentally flawed in this regard, with the current implementation the weapon’s performance and what counteracts it is not consistent with what they see on their screens. There is no real fix to the problem without very much changing the weapon identity, but I’m not sure calling for removal is sensible.

[spare rapids]

Why do I get with 4 controller users vs 5 PC players? (I am on PC)
@plush robin I don't mind having controller players on my team but at least make it fair, what kind of match making is that? Put some on the other team.

[inner coral]

make nade launcher a gadget and adjust it like the RPG.
high arena damage, moderate player damage, HUGE splash damage (especially to one's self)
and reload is only available after Cooldown ,cooldown starts after one grenade and restarts full cooldown anytime you reload early.

[lavish shard]

Nerf SWORD
NERF WINCH

[plush robin]

cause you have crossplay on. lmao??

[dense kernel]

nerf cl40, lowered the aoe

[placid stream]

I second this. Nothing ever gets done anyway. Servers and matchmaking been shit from day 1

[hearty jewel]

Add loudners to akimbos so it can sound more terrifying

[cobalt kernel]

Nerf Winch into the ground (it's been 5 seasons of this no skill clown show) or just vault it

-Range to 9 - 10 meters

-Reduce stun duration by at least 65 %

-Remove hitbox on retraction and make chain break if object gets stuck anywhere!

-Nerf dome shield finally, should block all damage from all sides

-Reduce number of Pyro mines carriable to ONE, just like the other types

-Remove BFR from the game, out-snipes every other ranged weapon in the game, on the strongest class 💀

-Nerf flamethrower range and afterburner effect, increase direct hit dmg

-Buff Reshaper recharge time

-Buff grapple range, so inconsistent because of large arenas

-Buff Vortex and breach charge fuse time

-Buff R357 range

-Buff XP54 reload

-Buff Pyro grenade AOE

-SR84 iron sights increase hitscan range by 10m

BRING BACK BANK IT kick out Quick Trash or TDM (even TA is better than those)

The game right now is (and always has been) a OP gadget spamming circus not a competitive game..

[rapid stream]

Buff Dagger

Buff Mesh Shield

Remove Winch Claw

Remove Denuvo

Rework BFR Titan into Heavy’s 2nd spread shotgun

Revert Glitch Trap back to Glitch Mine (Current Glitch Trap is a death sentence to melee right now)

Let us pick our metal & gem skins so we don’t have to wait 30 season to get a weapon we want

Remove spread from KS-23 to make it 100% accurate at all times and revert the 40m hitscan mechanic

[gritty jetty]

I swear this is bait

Could you please add an option to set the area HUD takes on the screen? It's very useful on ultrawide monitors. I was really surprised when I saw this feature is also missing in Arc Raiders. Would be great to have it in both games.

Found a bug, the new halloween tattoo doesn't integrate properly with the black sheen skin from Multimood Mask Face.
Normally it's supposed to layer over it.

[honest talon]

Don’t know if its in the vision for the game but to preface I’m at 30 hours now and I’ve unlocked all weapons/gadgets and have the sight or two I like for all my weapons I use unlocked and credits feel kinda useless at this point, I hit 5k very fast. It would be a massive boost for balancing time but in the same way the new release Arc has the mods I would love to see other weapon attachments come to the Finals. Adds more skill expression and creativity. Let me get my ak silenced with a laser sight for stealthy close range/ give it a long barrel and grip for better long range. On some weapons it’s more questionable like melee but for firearms it seems like a gimme.

Just something else to spend the f2p credits on since it seems like now it’ll be item gets dropped spend 500 buy it then 300/600 buy compact/holo sit on the rest.

It’s why I love games like Monster Hunter that intrinsic motivation and having 3k credits worth of attachments for every gun gives so much of that. I’d gladly grind to try out different synergies/builds.

[languid niche]

Can we get a similar style of map in arc raiders in the finals? Not that it is always visible as you play but a map overlay that you can see. I would like to ping on such a map as well. Thank you for all the hard work you guys put into arc raiders and the finals

rework audio in this game, it's beyond saving, nerf light a bit, buff medium a bit, fix your matchmaking system.

hello,
I'm here to request that you add bullet static meshes to the chamber of the cardboard sniper skin. I would like to use this skin with the new animation pack but I don't like that this is no bullet in the chamber.

[warm sigil]

I would really like the option to have player cards for each contestant slot. I like matching the card to my outfits, but that gets rather annoying when you have a bunch of outfits with different vibes. Not a huge deal, but it would be a nice customization and qol feature.

[grizzled zephyr]

Ban all Heavy players from the game

[cerulean birch]

So what you're saying is that they shouldn't have dagger either?

[quick coyote]

I just had two games on ranked with people with connection problems on the first round/afk even. Do you think the recompesation for that is fair already? I would say that loosing 0 points if you loose on the first round would be actually fair.. Yet winning 2nd round with two is well... Really difficult too, not impossible tho probably (lol)

gamemode which is ffa deathmatch with everyone has the same stupid temp weapon specific for that gamemode (like the christmas ltm but different stupid weapon each ~2 weeks and free loadout)

[covert oxide]

Sword with no aim lock, but hits only trigger in the forward 180 degrees so no jank hits but still gives the ability to reorient, and still gives the ability to aim your hits in a reasonable forward direction

[undone pier]

I wanna say good job with changing the ltm rewards to something fair and easy to do where we can get everything for free. new mode is great just like all the other ones! Keep up the good work!

Not to sure if this is a connection issue, but I just played a game where my hit detection was super super bad. Like really atrocious. I was playing with the repeater and shooting people dead center wasn't counting almost ever, especially if they were moving ever. It was like they had to be perfectly still before anything would count. I still got a phenomenal game, but it was ruined by that issue. No jumping or falling of any sort, just really really bad hit detection. Have ya'll encountered this before?

[shrewd geyser]

I second that so many wall hackers plus had 2 full rage hackers in my game, and no its not a skill issue I'm ruby and have 45k kills and play scrims

[chrome lichen]

I mean there's little point except to just create circular conversations unless there's actual punishment for cheating. Then maybe address the connection issuess, matchmaking etc. Or at least take steps to create the illusion of a fair competitive environment. If people feel the game is killing them more than the enemy and there is little incentive to actually try to play comp and there is no point in doing anything revolved around comp. Also would make damage control easier and undercut a lot of other nonsense

Remove Low Gravity event and replace it with Double Jump event you guys had some World Tour stops ago. 🙏

Low Gravity is just not enjoyable unless you have an angled pad or using Evasive Dash, you just take a normal pad or you just wanna do anything else and you're stuck in the air for an eternity and are vulnerable, it's just not fun and especially makes melees a pain to use.

[sick juniper]

Hey can we get an increase to the speed of earning show tokens? Ranking up the current battlepass is SO much faster with all the xp rewards from quests, if we could get the same treatment for show tokens that would be great because currently its an absolute slog to rank through old battlepasses, and with no way to outright buy the previous battlepass skins, the slow grind is mandatory if you want the skins, even worse if you only bought the battlepass for one particular outfit from a later tier

[rustic tinsel]

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

Stop ruining game with nerfs, balance it with buffs instead.

Are you saying that giving a rail gun to the class with the most health and shields was possibly a really bad idea?

Not sure, I guess it's down to personal preference and/or mouse sensitivity. I assume they must be the same as both go up to the same limit. I play controller and have horizontal sensitivity set to 625 and vertical to 425 so I have quite a difference between the two...

Goodbye, Embark.

I’ve tried to hold on. I’ve tried to believe in what you said The Finals would be — a fast-paced, creative, destruction-driven FPS that rewarded skill, teamwork, and adaptability. But it’s clear now that the version of the game I fell in love with and the one you’re choosing to develop are two entirely different things.

Week after week, patch after patch, the same core problems remain. Light builds still dominate the meta with endless dashes and ridiculous mobility, while their damage output rivals heavies and mediums. Players who pick other classes get punished for even trying to play differently. Instead of a balanced arena where every role feels useful, we’ve got a one-dimensional chase fest where whoever spams the most dashes wins.

And then there’s the spawns — the broken, chaotic spawns that constantly drop players into gunfire or miles away from the objective. Cash boxes appearing in the most lopsided, unreachable places, turning matches into RNG rather than skill. We’ve all reported it. We’ve all begged for fixes. But instead of listening to the community that built this game up from day one, you ignore it, double down, and pat yourselves on the back for “creative direction.”

It hurts, because the bones of something amazing are still buried in here. The visuals, the destruction, the pace — all of it had the potential to redefine what an FPS could be. But a studio that refuses to hear its players, that refuses to address obvious balance issues, ends up losing the very people who care most.

So this is it. Goodbye, Embark. I’m uninstalling The Finals not because I hate it, but because I loved what it could’ve been. And it’s clear you’ve stopped chasing that same vision.

💯
Never had issues with performance
until 1-2 weeks ago, and now it's COMPLETELY unplayable

[sturdy garnet]

What is denuvo? why is denuvo? And why ERROR CODE TFGE0001 from nowhere? I played normal yesterday.

Also, fix servers and better matchmaking.

And again:
I can't find matches using my preferred region as automatic. I can spend an hour searching and no matches are found. I can only play by selecting North America or Europe.
I understand that there isn't a large player base for me to play in my region, South America. But since the region is set to automatic, the game should find matches for me AUTOMATICALLY.

The new event system is GOOD. Shame that i can't play the game, thank you 😉

[wintry vine]

This 💯

[rustic shell]

Regardless of what server you end up in, the servers have horrible desync/ping. This is the only complaint one can have with the finals and it's been this way since season 2

[proven crown]

THE SPAWNS ARE SO F*****. Once again, you win the vault fight but the same team is camping on the station. Your team literally needs a gateway to combat these basic spawns which don't punish teams that wipe first enough

[manic sandal]

Why Pyro Mine can still almost oneshot light? 💀

[bronze knot]

Damn that makeup is spooky

[violet loom]

A warm up arena to use while searching for matches. Offline if server load is an issue (i think the practice arena is online, possibly for destruction reasons)

[next widget]

Dear Dev Team,

I absolutely love your game—it’s truly amazing!! So exquisite, like an extraordinary work of art. Although the balance could use some work, it’s still really fantastic. My friends and I all genuinely adore it!!
However, when I logged in today, the UI was still in Chinese, but the weapon descriptions and names were all in English. I’m not sure if this is a bug or something else, but I really hope you can fix this or change it back. Kindly requesting your help, please. Thank you so much!

[meager quiver]

The finals has been my main source of attraction for the better part of the past year

One thing I'd like to see return is bank it and maybe even perhaps the steal the spotlight time limited mode or anything similar

[hollow birch]

How can this feedback tab be full of changing ideas and the developers change literally nothing. Why are in a SHOOTER game that much meelee weapons? And please nerf this stupid P90 and sword!!!!!

[lavish shard]

Why db can steel 2 tap everybody ?

[quartz ivy]

Add Bonus Pages to the Legacy Passes, paid content shouldn't change

[cyan elbow]

please fix the servers i cant take it anymore

[tough olive]

i had a similar problem - turned out it was the nvidia app that kept resetting mine. Check if that's the issue

[rustic flame]

how about we fix this
(happened after throwing and using a gateway)

[weak brook]

Any ASIA server experiencing server issues?

[tired fable]

plz plz plz Embark :
LET US CHOOSE SIGHT BEFORE MATCH AND IN THE SHOOTING RANGE

and we need more bucket hat

[lean bluff]

FIX YOUR RANKED MATCHMAKING!!!! I should not be playing against EMBARK PARTNERS and EX RUBY PLAYERS as a GOLD 1 !!!!i'm rank 14,852 right? so tell me why is it that I play with the TOP 500 player's? and it's not like a one time thing! I played 4 matches today! and 3 out of 4 wear ruby's and the 4rth one was agains a EMBARK PARTER (he had the special partner banner) where is the other 14,351 players? and thats only if i play against people that are above me in the ranking! and I have a small question! how is it posible to even get a guy in my team that is a RANDOM with gold 3 or 4 that has lvl 55 and has like 200hours in this game tops! while i'm playing agains legit PRO PLAYERS and TOP 500 players?

[rapid stream]

Buff Dagger

Buff Mesh Shield

Buff SA12

Remove Winch Claw

Remove spread from KS-23 to make it 100% accurate at all times and revert the 40m hitscan mechanic

[smoky gust]

i kind of like the way this just cuts off

it feels similar to skyway stadium, being a pre-made block that youre just set loose in
like the map the ai created after the cns reset was finally refined into more of an actual arena

[shrewd loom]

why is the game server so bad in india, fixed it man

[young minnow]

Fix ranked matchmaking

[rustic tinsel]

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

Stop ruining game with nerfs, balance it with buffs instead.

why is there walls on the edges of the map

Buff sa12??? Tell me you're a quickplay player without telling me you're a quickplay player

[sterile canopy]

P90 is mid, sword is mid. Most suggestions here too, are mid. People here have strong opinions on things which they often don't have good information about, but don't seem to acknowledge it. I wouldn't expect embark to take most of the balance changes I could propose too seriously either, because they are coming from a relatively uneducated standpoint.

[leaden tangle]

One of the most recurring problems when playing has always been sound distribution. You hear gunshots, explosions, and abilities three floors above, and at that moment you're not hearing a light armored car with an M11 about to empty its magazine into you. This would be fair if it weren't for the fact that the sound of explosions seems to drown out any other, quieter sounds, making it imperceptible when someone is walking behind you.

My headphones probably aren't the best quality. But I've actually tried using that strategy against Ruby players, and it never works (because obviously at that rank, you need the best gear to maintain your level). So these flaws make sound pay-to-win when you're not relying on sonar or sensors. I'm good at predicting enemy footsteps, which is why I don't use those kinds of gadgets, but it's difficult to stay aware of your surroundings when there's a sniper on the other side of the map drowning out your sounds and making the light armored class completely silent (this doesn't seem to affect the footsteps of the medium and heavy classes).

Another QoS improvement could be reducing the volume of dialogue when you're tagging while crouching. A guy heard me tagging him a floor below, and luckily I killed him before he could tag me. But if I'm crouching, a moment of stealth shouldn't be broken by an interaction. I'm not asking for the dialogue to be removed—it's a soft proximity chat—but when playing in Q-only mode, I use tagging because most players are English speakers, and my pronunciation is terrible.

The finals changes

Hi y’all, I normally stay quiet but I decided today I’ll go ahead and voice my everything with the finals. All in all, I love the game, it’s fun and new and winning is so rewarding. That being said, as someone who plays all classes, and has 500 or 600 hours (I forgor) and is currently on the road to Ruby, there are a few frustrations I have. I’m also a game dev myself, and I’ve been playing since beta. I don’t know if my voice will be heard, but these are some concerns I’ve got currently.

M11: please change something with the gun. It’s too easy to absolutely destroy someone even at range, and it feels awful to play against, especially when someone has aim assist or very good spray control. A heavy dies in less than a second from a light flying in outta nowhere. I’d normally have some suggestion to change it, but I just can’t think of one without making it obselete entirely.

CL-40: This one is a little confusing. I know it’s been thrown around a lot in terms of nerfs and buffs, but it’s still a cheat weapon. At least with the MGL you need to think about walls and placement to kill someone. I was wondering though what to change to make it balanced. Perhaps an interesting quirk (like the MGL) could be it only has a mag size of 1 and you have to reload it all the time so it has a slower firing rate, but still feels good to play (up the reload speed a tiny bit if that’s the case obviously).

Winch claw: The winch claw has been the most single thing I slam my desk at. It’s a free kill 98% of the time. I’m not that great with it so I can’t land it all the time, and it’s amazing for creating your own cashouts… but my god just getting grabbed from 2 floors up on Kyoto and just dying instantly because you’re brought over to a whole team is ridiculous. This is another one I genuinely have no idea how to change, needs some kind of rework.

Mines: heavy and medium should both have access to all mines, just keep mediums at the cooldown of 1 and recharge or however it works. I’d like that variety of builds and so heavy can at least have a glitching device of some kind. Also make a goo mine because funny :)

Frag: the nerf to 140 was the strangest change in my opinion. I still don’t get it. It’s not frustrating or anything, it was just somehow the 10 damage taken away removed all its potential. Not for one shotting lights, no, but for just dealing that tiny bit of extra damage to someone really helps. I’m fine with the count being changed to 1.

Turret: the activation time for a turret when discovering an enemy is too slow, I’ve discovered. It doesn’t have an insane amount of health in the first place, so I feel like it should at least do its thing before dying. Maybe that’s just me, idk.

Defib: this one could be controversial. Please remove the respawn sickness. The half health is already a struggle, and a quick revive while still good… feels like a punishment. Especially when you get plopped down in front of 1 or 2 people. Not being able to use absolutely any of your kit to do ANYTHING to help is just plain frustrating. I don’t run it anymore because I’d rather have my team at full health and full utility, but people don’t seem to understand that and just get angry at me when I don’t run it :(. It’s not enjoyable in that sense either.

[odd crane]

Hey dev team,

Just wanna point out that there needs to be better report systems like reporting for idling and being toxic in chat etc cuz I just played with such a toxic player in world tour match meaning that they didn't have to be toxic and bringing up inappropriate comments. The username I believe was error404. Also there is no grace period for console players like myself to add detail to a report as it closes itself before you send the report

[dapper spruce]

Indubitably

[supple mortar]

Sword is already nerfed enough, try using it before you speak nonsense please.
If anything it could use an angle buff and a right click damage increase.
(Or just a full revert to S1)

[nimble gale]

Lava Luster skin for the FAMAS

[zinc pier]

"sword is op" mfs when I show them the left mouse button or the right controller trigger (somehow the sword player mysteriously vanishes to the respawn screen)

[glad pike]

how do I get more fps on arc raiders epic graphics than The Finals low graphics

[royal fractal]

Could be cpu,
I think finals has heavier cpu usage then arc, destructoin and stuff. If cpu load is too high it will bottleneck the gpu

[broken dragon]

why is the cpu load so high if destruction is serverside

[upper citrus]

Very likely due to clientside predictive movement algorithms for to make the serverside movement feel good

[minor blaze]

Need more día de los muertos items 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[raw blaze]

yo yall gotta fix this high ass CPU usage that increases with every singe update, the stutters are REAL

https://medal.tv/games/the-finals/clips/lpLJvB2AHiBVO6pme?invite=cr-MSx2eGssNDE4NzA1ODM5&v=9 embark why

[pure arrow]

I’m going to go against the usual complaining here, can we just advertise the game more and grow the player base please?

[neat zealot]

Make it mandatory to have gotten the 150 wins on light, medium, and heavy badges before being able to access this channel. That'll minimize the Dead by Daylight syndrome so much of the feedback has which boils down to biased perspectives from not playing every class and understanding their different strengths and weaknesses.

"nerf light/medium/heavy" is no different from "fucking OP killers/survivor perks" etc.

[novel trench]

Or, alternatively, anyone that disagrees with me gets called names like “Doodoo head” and “Dumb stupid stinky face” and get a unique role called “Big stupid idiot!!!1!1!” And that would be cool I think

[scenic oasis]

Beautiful idea. And all non-spear mains should have the role "meta-licker"

[dire escarp]

FIX MATCHMAKING
I DO NOT WANT TO PLAY WITH SOMEONE THAT IS NEW TO THIS GAMEE

[wooden atlas]

I highly agree with most of this. CL-40 I don’t really care, but winch, M11, and defibs most definitely need reworks of this type.

[little pike]

Give me the option to untuck baggy pants from boots 🙏

[analog lintel]

rework weapons to where they arent all shit ? the game was fun and felt good to play. then all of a sudden , every gun available is BARELY EVEN CAPABLE of killing another player. its no longer even fun to play because of this simple fact. add in that i can barely hear footsteps, and if its a Melee enemy, i definitely dont hear them, i dont even hear them hitting me. and the speed at which i die to melees, and no skill flamethrowers when they never even had me on their screen in the first place? pffffft havent been playing this game since then, i'll tell you that. also stop forcing me to respawn before i'm ready, i never have time to switch anything. i get into a late match and cant even pick my gun. i get spawned with the same shit i just had while trying to switch something because we got a team respawn. also getting rezzed while switching my gear only to have to try and rush to do it next time im dead and not getting ressed (good luck with that when your teammates like "OH ILL JUST REZ IN THE FACE OF THE ENEMY" over and over again

[undone dagger]

please make the SBMM in quick cash more lenient, I feel like I have to sweat my ass off just to compete with other people also sweating their ass off in a casual game mode. Like this is not fun

[weak cosmos]

Could we have a way to type to crossplay players? It would make playing Ranked solo queue much better if we could communicate with them.

[wooden sand]

you guys have got to be drooling on the keyboard for balance, you make sword and brainless m1 spam fest, you gut everything on heavy when its paired with winch because the sledge was the issue with the winch claw kidnapping people into melee range, take 10 off the ks bc winch combo. Like reddit balance is insane. I love the sniper you have the heavy also, the fattest class you cant win vs at the longest range unless you have sniper but the ttk for the bfr is legit faster at sniper range then the fucking sniper. Please do ANYTHING for this games health. it sucks

[feral mulch]

yes

[delicate notch]

Could you please just remove Kyoto? Idk I feel no matter how many times you try to rework it, it's just a miserable affair. Before I despised Monaco Suspended, now I like it a lot. But Kyoto? Nope.
Also, before I had a lot of fun fighting Sword players. now it's just boring. flamethrower still isn't fun to fight.

[hybrid silo]

You are right when you say that most of the people’s ideas are idiotic but embark's balancing is also just as trash.

They balance based on usage and thanks to this philosophy the 93r is outrageously overpowered because no one used it for 4 seasons, they kept buffing it even though they should have left it alone after the second buff.

Pike is another great example, they keep changing the damage between 50 and 48 solely based on how many people use it and it’s just laughable at this point.

They don’t test anything and don’t stop to think about the things they put into their game. I’m 90% sure that if every medium started using the AK they would nerf it after 1-2 weeks even though it’s arguably the most balanced weapon in the game and they would have left H+ infuser as it was when they released it even though it made everyone who was getting healed by it nearly invincible if no one used it.

This season if you use an automatic weapon you are basically throwing that’s how weak everything is compared to high burst damage weapons plus you get outhealed almost every fight because of the infuser(which is another phenomenal balancing from embark)

[raven garnet]

why you make burst just sooooo fukin broken

[young scroll]

Play any other FPS then. this game is good because it is so unique and you can’t just remove that from the game.

[white anchor]

HARPOON FOR LIGHT CLASS
The fast long range projectile sticks to players and surfaces and blows up after a few milliseconds (shorter fuse then thermal bore) and the weapon should have built in scope for long range accuracy,it is more unique then giving light class a thumper.

The projectile is fast but maybe have more of an arc for balance.
Incendiary explosion should have sparks and have fire damage when it falls down on enemies cause at least u need skill and timing.
This isn't used for destruction like thermal bore just fire damage.
