I'm not one to be TOO upset at cosmetics, but I guess I'm only a little upset

Can I have two of these? Not just the one? It's a great idea, don't get it twisted: It's Odin's eye. I'm just a BIG fan of the piercing blue and I wanted to have BOTH eyes that color.

[green vigil]

GL nerf when?

[north portal]

The way I see it, the healing and other team-based items are what separates The Finals from every other FPS, because you more often or not will just lose if you try to play solo against coherent teams

[quartz cedar]

Performance terrible since Denuvo got added, literally unplayable
Never had performance issues before this. Game went from great to terrible over night.

Winch is a joke

Ranked is a joke (Main issue, solo queue experience vs 3 mans)

The way you gutted sword is a joke. Atleast let us turn our camera, if not the weapon itself, but the better idea would be to additionally move away from the current left click spam design, it simply isn't fun to play (sure left clicking was fun for the first week when no one knew how to play sword)

Good that you have Arc Raiders, and it's becoming clear that Discovery is indeed your secondary project, it certainly is being treated as such.
I had a good run on this game, was going to attend the Major, but seeing the games' performance after Denuvo got added, and no words from you about it, I can't take this project very seriously currently.

[pliant lichen]

Bruh they removed nukes because they were cheese kills. So you think it's a good idea to introduce another (even easier) cheese kill in it's stead..? Uhh..?

[torpid turtle]

Can we get a game mode where we have super strength and super speed. And maybe super jumps too. This game mode, you attack your opponents by punching them and you can punch through walls like Kyle through dry wall

[final snow]

Legacy Battle passes should be WAY quicker to complete. there’s literally no reason (not even financial) for these things to be such a grindfest.

[lunar reef]

games just less fun each time you get on.every medium and heavy gun thats fun gets nerfed..there should also be a mechanic where the heavy's butt can block a steal

[manic pebble]

can you make it so that you can choose what skins to include into the skin shuffle instead of all the skins you have for that weapon

[storm ember]

Hi can I write a game feedback concerning Arc Raiders here please?

[covert yacht]

Holy they have to nerf light dash its way to OP. to short of cooldowns and there is just way to accurate when using it there should be a penalty for using it to your aim cause right now you can just spam it and there is no punishment cause you will just have it back in 2 seconds

[tame abyss]

there's a separate DC for that

the arc raiders DC....

when are we nerfing the shitty foam cannon
it is disgusting how those heavys bully you with foam and hammer

[leaden tangle]

Dear Embark developers

All my friends stopped playing the game this season, saying it's getting repetitive. I understand that feeling; essentially, the game is still the same, there's no need to change it, but there aren't many improvements or new features, the balance changes are still inconsistent and insignificant, and the difficulty gap for casual players makes them feel bad for not understanding the game (even though the basic rules aren't hard to grasp). I finished grinding solo queue for World Tour, and I was thinking about ranking up, but there's no point if I can't play with them. Unfortunately, I have to jump ship. I feel like I'm not having fun playing solo anymore, and I'm at a clear disadvantage in both quick matches and competitive play if I'm matched against a full team.

[torpid quarry]

Can you not reset text chat every time the game state changes? Shits un-usable on console

[frigid horizon]

I plead for a db nerf
Its the least fun weapon to go against, its not fun having almost all of my hp just deleted in a single shot
And "don't be by the db player" isn't an effective way to counter then because half the time they're chasing you down.
Its genuinely painful to play against this unbalanced weapon

[narrow monolith]

CAN I FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GET THERMAL BACK. WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO REWORK? WHY DOES IT NEED TO BE OUT OF GAME OUT OF THE GAME FOR AN ENTIRE SEASON. ITS THERMAL, IT DIDNT NEED TOUCHED. NOW THERE ARE LIGHTS CAMPING AND I CANT SEE THEM THROUGH SMOKES OR CLOAK SO I GET BEAMED AND STAND NO CHANCE. ALSO NERF DB ITS DUMB. RELOADS WAY TOO FAST

[warm sigil]

Have you tried killing the DB player? Lights die so easily.

[spiral minnow]

Have you ever tried to kill something after getting deleted in 1 shot?
You literally die from 1 shot if yer a light as well -w-

[craggy nova]

Dash is too OP it should be nerfed it’s not fair, medium got all of his movement grounded zipline, jumped and demat.

[cold bolt]

add a matter skin already

stop giving the same guns skins, fcar does not need its 70th skin

oh sorry that was exaggerating, there's only 60. SIXTY.

[spark crown]

hey embark! you guys are completely missing a curve type for controller. can you guys add reverse s-curve to the game?

can you guys add a more kovaaks/aimlabs style section in the shooting range for us rollers? aim trainers arent easy to use on controller because of all the differences in games and sens values

can we also add an option for double tap or hold to pick up things ON CONTROLLER ??? its annoying picking up stuff when im trying to reload no matter if i have reload on priority it still happens everytime

[violet matrix]

I'm sorry, who is the one stepping on the mine?

[tawny oak]

Fix crossplay servers, they seem to be so buggy and laggy, not sure why they are so horrible.

players sniping are NOT receiving tavel time nor any bullet drop but I am affected by those 2, why am i having BD and TT but other players are not? PLEASE JUST MAKE THE SNIPER RIFLE 100M HITSCAN

Players are NOT taking damage while on platform when being shot at by the sniper rifle, under 40M but the hitscan is not working, please FIX THE PLATFORM!

[quartz shell]

the game has a lot of fails, the meta is always the same (it doesnt matter that it changes every season cause you are with the same meta for 90 days, even tho is almost the same if no big balance changes are made), playing as solo in ranked is almost no viable, lot of guns are not usable if youre in solo or with a poorly coordinated team, third (fourth) party game manipulation exists in rankeds for since season closed beta for some reason, smurfs, etc

but the game is not dead, the playerbase is way too loyal

[plain frost]

Thanks Embark for giving us finals, please don't leave us hanging with the release of arc raiders :] I've had a blast playing Finals for a looooong time, I just have a few things changes I'd like to see happen:

[waxen thicket]

• Add craters for ground explosions like Battlefield
• Add knockback on explosion self-damage like TF2
• Add slight damage to broken wall segments, depending on the weight and speed
• Add slow effect to gas
• Make fire stack burn damage upto 2 times
• Let players bring an extra weapon or specialization in exchange for 2 less equipments
• Make all weapon bullets act like projectiles outside max range
• Add impact damage to MGL32 projectiles
• Give 15% headshot bonus to all shotguns except SH1900 and SA1216
• Remove the last 2 moves on Spear spin attack

[trim shuttle]

Can you please make each team a different colour so hard with 2 teams the same colour all the time confusing and i have tried to make each team different colour but I can't seem to do it thanks

[sweet knoll]

Let me say it for the 100th time. RANKED SUCKS. It’s unplayable. I just essentially played a quick cash match and watched a team get almost 0 combat score and get 1st.

[keen karma]

-Nerf 93r, it's literally good at any range just like how the xp-54 used to be
-Add philippines flag
-Stop rubies that are 50k from matching with plat players. Rubies are ALWAYS in a 3 stack so it's unfair for solo q plat/diamonds
-Delaying balance changes b/c of esports is an insult to the regular fanbase. Make a patch version just for pros?
-reduce dash to 2 charges

[random urchin]

Add smiling friends heads

[alpine falcon]

One thing I dislike about the customization in this game is the mix of "It's a VR game, whatever goes." and Realism.

I wish cosmetics like the featured Halloween masks weren't masks and were faces so I could have the demon skin tone and no seam where the mask ends; or cosmetics like the various animal masks/helmets. We even have cosmetics like the cell shaded head, and the various masks that straight up turn you into a faceless mannequin, but we can't have animal faces or ghoulish faces?

[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.

[grizzled fractal]

Dual blades are in the game for no reason -_-

[urban token]

it's quite fun when you get some decent matches w them haha

[wooden atlas]

If nothing else, this weapon nullifies practically a whole class of other weapons, those being shotguns and melee. If you’re using another shotgun, the DB player will probably win just because of his faster TTK—but mostly because he’ll likely have the element of surprise due to cloak. If you’re using a melee weapon, you will either 1) die simply because hitscan is faster than melee and the TTK on DB is again quicker, or 2) never catch the little dashing rat, because he’s always just out of range. And this is not even taking into account how 1900 makes dagger obsolete just by existing—why go for an impossible backstab when you can, well, just shoot the guy?

Perhaps my biggest issue with the 1900 is that you can’t really nerf it much without making it borderline useless. Like how would you even nerf it? All I can think of is slower shooting or slower reload, neither of which make it any less annoying to face—you’ll still get deleted just as fast.

TLDR: SH1900 is a problem (not the worst the game has had, but still a problem), but I don’t know what kind of nerf is best for it

[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.

_

i think most of the players are unhappy rn and tend to not play the game. if you want to change this but dont feel competent enough to balance maybe make a poll about balancing. you basically did max 2 polls in the entire time this game exists, i thought the dev/community connection would be more important atp. (although i dont really think most players are capable of leaving a sensefull opinion, so maybe you ask people in the poll what their max rank was at the start)

[bitter wind]

Hi! New player here (I started playing at the end of S7), I know my opinion is very niche and most likely not something most players will ever have a problem with, but as someone who started playing late I missed out on a lot of season passes so I bought almost all available past seasons LOL
The thing is: the token economy is extremely slow, I summed them up and to unlock everything I need to play around 900 matches 🥲
It would be nice if we could at least increase the token gain per win, instead of the fixed amount of one per match.
Anyways, loving the game so far

[round goblet]

I have 2.6k hr Sword, 1.4k dag, 100hrs all weap, S3 Ruby in my alt
I would like to add other melee (text limit)

SH1900 / M26

⦁ Increase Hipfire Spread without ADS (M26/SH)
⦁ Increase reload time (SH)
⦁ Slightly decrease fire rate between shots (SH)
⦁ Additional slow movement speed when firing a shot (SH)

NOTE: Add friction on the spammability of the left click of this shotgun / fast melee weapons, since along with access to Gap-Closers they are cancer.

How is melee weaker than a shotgun in CQC explain your balancing EMBARK? People instantly switch to this weapon the moment a melee dominates them in any class.

Dagger

⦁ Secondary Click

Dagger Backstab Angle from 150 to 180 degrees
Remove Charging Slowdown
Revert charge time from 800 ms to 500 ms
Option to Rclick like Throwing Knives
Return Goo Backstab Mechanic

Sword

⦁ Primary Attack

Decreased damage from  88 to 74 (reverting old values)
Increased the attack duration from 0.6s to 1.0s, slowing the primary attack speed

⦁ Secondary Attack

Increased the speed of the lunge from 1750 to 1850 
Increased angle of rotation clamping from 40 degree to 60 

(Current Lunge is so risky to use against any single shot long and CQC weapons such Repeater/Cerberus/Model/SA/M26 and SH1900 being a literally built 150+ dmg 1 shot machine against melee)

⦁ Note: Devs, if you can make Melee have more movement speed/lunge speed and less reliant on Specs and Left Click spamming that could open viable playstyles (Cloak, Grapple Dagger/Sword) and actually utilizing M2 .

Multi-Hit Dmg lunge scales down the more opponents you hit upon (120/90/60/30)

TLDR; I notice almost all Melee's have fair/punishable "FRICTION" when they have one-two shot or gimmick such as Dagger/Sword Lunge Angle and Sledge being slow asf whilst your light shotgun only needs to reload whilst its combat dmg capability without the ADS'ing + Gap Closers is over tuned given mediocore aim of players.

[peak forge]

I think that giving Light Class alot worse stability/accuracy while moving is going to be very good.
It is going to make Light Class let class still be good at Cheap Damage in short egagments and flank attacks, but is going to remove the capability of Light Class to just 1 vs 1 any player using it small size and good speed to jump and spray.

Perhaps also decrease it's long range accuracy on weapons other then LH1, Bow or Sniper Rifle, so Light would comprimise between Close Range Efficency, or Long Range Support.

[faint saddle]

LMFAO Med and Heavy win fights against lights if you hit your shots, light is the worst class by far in regular gun engagements

OVERALL COMPARISON TABLE
Attacker ↓ / Target → Light Medium Heavy
Light 0.68 s 1.42 s 1.56 s
Medium 0.76 s 1.22 s 1.74 s
Heavy 0.76 s 1.34 s 1.87 s

Average Med/Heavy TTK vs Lights

remove or change the holtow skin contract - 45k in a SINGLE match is too much, why not just have it be 45k in general instead of making it tied to just ONE match?? ranked and world tour are miserable, idc about or play these modes, but i want the reward. i have been playing so many matches which there had instances when our team qualified, but then we didnt get the 45k total. but i would have finished the contract already if it wasnt tied to a single match. all the other contracts are ok, but stop restricting these to these awful modes and a single match.

[pliant lichen]

The "I'm an antisocial liability" button that lets people just flat out turn off voice communication; so that any and all callouts you make are made on deaf ears has ZERO, absolutely ZERO place in a game like this. That is what the mute function is for if it is to avoid toxicity. This is not the game where you can get away with teammates making non-sentient decisions and get away with it. So many games where you just lose, and are able to track it down to single instance cases where your TEAMmates in the TEAM GAME cannot hear you because they pressed the antisocial button and kept it on.
If you have any interest at all for the new player/solo experience then this needs a serious revision or outright removal. It is consistently frustrating and further pushing the needle towards the game being considered hostile towards Solo queue players.
All the chat censors with excessive restrictions (yes flamer is banned so we have to write flamethrower in full for some reason..??) are bandaid fixes that have not had a legitimate positive influence. It took months to even be able to type lmao in chat. Not good enough.
Do better. There are a ridiculous amount of things that are currently plaguing the game right now and they're damn well known about.
I get mad because I care. Such potential this game has and there are still just the stupidest things which haven't been addressed yet, some being possible to fix in single patches, balance/map rotation/events wise.
Please.

“reduce dash to 2 charges”

[upper locust]

The feedback is more so about general pricing of Embark's released products - Bundles and Arc Raiders. This subject about regional pricing and it not being applied to certain countries, one of them is mine. I'm from Georgia and regional price adjustment seems didn't apply to me. Steam Categories Georgia as part of CIS region, which is what my monetary region is chosen as. On SteamDB it is written that CIS has 13% off from base 40$ for Arc Raiders (as an example), but it still shows me full 40$. Now I'm not really well versed in all parts of steam monetary system or adjustments but I believe, if not a bug, Georgia and possibly other CIS (Post-Soviet states) could've been left out which really sucks. I've been supporting Finals since launch and want to do the same for Arc Raiders, but I can't be really doing that if prices are not set accordingly as I'm essentially overpay.

Now for those who don't know what regional pricing is, here's simple explanation - Regional pricing is when you apply lowered or increaced price point depending on a region or a country. Some countries or regions have stronger or weaker economies, so you adjust price to accommodate that. For example, I'm from Georgia, a CIS region categorised by Steam. Arc Raiders is 40$ (standard) if you're in US, but for me it's also same price which means I'll be overpaying for it 3x (equivalent if you'd be asked to pay 120$ for it). Regional pricing will lower the price so I can pay equivalent in my currency's 40$, or at least close to it.

Images - Left: SteamDB prices adjustment, seemingly should apply to me as I'm in CIS, but in reality, it doesn't - Right Image is my steam page.

3,443 wins without comms say it's not necessary. chat box got turned off as soon as it was added. I haven't ever had a match with it on. Pings work fine. I know my job & good players know theirs. I am antisocial when I game & it will stay that way. I've got no interest in a randoms opinion on how I'm playing or which enemy they think is "1 bar". Put box in cashout, kill everything without a blue outline. We have nothing to discuss.👍

[faint pilot]

1. I think we should see some more bad ass cosmetics like Season 8 lvl 96.

2. Need to see like an evil male voice or god like - thought there would be one with the lvl 96 outfit.

3. Can we get throwing axes?

4. Can we get an absolutely fat big hammer for the sledgehammer with a cool sound effect.

Anyways cheers guys, loved this game day one public relay

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.

I had an idea where you should show concussive impact by poping out into 3rd person view and skewing the graphic. This way I think you can be aware of the explosions at your feet and feel an impact visually as well

Can we have a way to not play with two-stacks in gamemodes. It makes it so much harder as you'll be in a game with three stacks whilst being with two teammates who partied together and have no clue what they're doing. It is incredibly frustrating.

If we're going to be suckered into 100s of different colorways for the same item, at least make it like your other game, Arc Raiders, where you can just select the color shifts in your outfit customization.

Tired of scrolling through dozens of items which are essentially the same item.

[torpid turtle]

Make it so we only connect to the closest servers in our region. Might not be a big deal if playing in the EU where it is small, but in the US, it is a big problem. I keep dying around corners and shooting opponents takes a moment to register, sometimes hit detection is affected. I'm not having any symbols come up either unless it's the one that means the server is struggling. Point is, I know I should be having a better connection than this. I play fiber/ wired for crying out loud. I shouldn't have to have this problem and I shouldn't have to play across the states just to play with other players of similar skill because what's the point if the fairness is thrown out the window due to bad lag. I even feel noticeable jittering occurring and again, without any symbols suggesting so. This makes it where to stay competitive, I have to play with super forgiving guns or it won't be competitive. Please please please, fix this. Connection above SBMM please, otherwise it's not fair

There is a bug when switching out your loadout then get revived by another player. It makes you unable to revive by yourself after dying again, untill you change something in your loadout again.

Also make it so that when you swap your loadout it saves it until you self revive the next time. Every single time I decide to change my load out is the only time people decide to revive me then I have to do it all over again the next death. Only to get revived AGAIN. Add a "dont revive me" ping.

[fringe apex]

Can somebody explain? I dont get it, why item that for the day i missed in event was one day for 400, the next day for 800 and now stay for 800 for 3 days already?

There is no information whatsoever about it in game

Embark please 🙏 add some sort of co-op PvE gamemode so there is a nice chill way to play the game as well, I’d like to play this game more but coming home from a long day at work to play one of my favorite recent games just to have to fight people who never leave their basement kinda ruins the fun for my friends and I.

[fading cobalt]

The current explosion system sucks because a tiny object can block the line of sight check that it seems to do, meaning it can miss despite the target being clearly in range.

A better system would have an expanding or multilayered sphere so that there's multiple checks instead.

[trail flame]

People are still blatantly cheating with new accounts. The anticheat still needs to be stronger and STOP CHEATERS FROM PLAYING ENTIRE ROUNDS IN THE GAME. The anticheat is not good enough if cheaters are still able to play full games and start to level up before caught/kicked from the game.

M60 movement is fixed good job.

NO SPRINT still exists. its rare but its always m60 after i stop shooting then drop a dome very quickly to run away, i can't sprint for solid 5 seconds. with auto sprint turned on too. its agonizing and happens at the Worst moments ever almost had me killed today in the final round.

reposting badhatben's nice video here because it shows that the spear lunge is nonfunctional. Fixing it would be nice, I think.

[main gull]

hey so... how did yall manage to make this game even worse. ive never had a major issue with frame lag and screen tearing and mini disconnects where my inputs dont react at all (occasional screen freezes but nothing game breaking) . but recently i just stopped playing AT ALL because every game, any day i play, everyone im playing with says it too, the game just tears, we get stuck in place. it will run okay at best sometimes, but the second someone looks at me or a tiny explosion or firefight happens the game just lags like no tomorrow. LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE . no wonder weve seen a 80% player drop off since release, you manage to make the game worse every season, with every update, every time. stop focusing on your cashgrab arc raiders and actually FIX YOUR GAME EMBARK 🙂

Sincerely,
Someone whose played since open beta

Maybe could use AI to extract actionable feedback and throw out grievances and ranting to get good feedback here lol

[unborn garnet]

When the fuck yall fixing the servers man? Your game is bricking my ax201 harder than a windows update conjured with AI.

Yesterday, I played totally fine minus the constant server icons blinking on the bottom right.
4 times has my ax201 died while playing and i was only able to play less than 5mins. For some reason, it's fine when in the lobby, but shaders take longer to load than usual.

I get server disconnection with the classic TFGE0003, then my ax201 fucking dies, then I'm giving a TFSM0002 saying manifest failed to download.

Then, my ax201 stays fucking dead until I fully shut down my PC, then it SOMETIMES works again. Just now as typing this, I shut down, turn it back on and it was NOT working. Only when I dis/re-enable does the ax201 work again.

The last time I had major connection issues was in s4 where I had to fully replace my modem and router and had to get my ISP to do some updates on their end.
Do I have to do that again? It was working totally fine even with the godforsaken lovely Christmas server lights on the bottom right.

Fix. The. Servers.

[jaunty vapor]

bro just replace your ax201 it's 20 bucks... it's not the finals it's just broken
Games don't have the ability to brick your wifi card 🤣

[waxen thicket]

pls take feedbacks from someplace other than reddit and discord, these places are filled with antisocial personalities with very, very questionable outlook on reality who would rather see the game lose 90% of the playerbase than have even a single balance that doesn't suit them.

Instead, Use Nexon or Steam Forums instead. Or maybe even make your own Embark Studios forum site, for both Arc Raiders n Finals. This will definitely be more helpful in the long run.

[hallow turret]

are the steam forums really better

[ember ridge]

using invis in platinum and above is fckng useless bro only noobs can't see you for experienced players its just like a normal visible player

[frigid harness]

bro embark get a better cheat detection app bro, i got kicked out of server for cheating (which I'm not), and when I came back we brought it back and won the entire tounament, but the rating system still took off 900 elos for "being inactive" and I have a 10 minutes detention. This is a joke.

[chrome lichen]

Steam forums are 9/10 bait, 1/10 outdated rants unfortunately. It's actually hard to find any game where it serves its intended purpose or rather acts as a forum for legit discussion and such.

[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.

game has been unplayable for me for 2 weeks
constant frame drops, stutters, and much lower fps generally

[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!

lithuania flag but no denmark? i know swedes hate the danish but this is a little extreme

[manic oak]

they really gotta come with a real fix for the cheater issue in this game. i do not understand why almost nobody else in this discord is not alarmed by this. again im afraid that so many on this discord is using it to. and thats why everybody refuses to agnolage this issue thats been so rampid sins season 6 now. i know they are working on it in the background. but something needs to happen soon. its really getting out of hand.

[broken geyser]

Give heavy a shockwave or shockwave launcher that u can load. So the more u charge, the stronger the launch force. Would be perfect to add to its destruction, go through buildings, disrupt cashout and would synergize well with the RPG.

[peak forge]

1. Iron Sights and Holopgraphic Sights don't represent where the bullet gonna hit in majority of cases.
   But the Hit Marker you got upon hitting someone does show exact place your bullet gonna hit, which benefits Tracking weapons like SCAR and ARN more then Snaping weapons like Repeater and LH1.
   Reason is that because model of your gun is actively moving with your character, scoped or not, which slightly but move your Sights away from the barrel/hit marker position.

2. Put grabbable objects on the Priority List.
   Put Cashbox and Contestant Statues in the Highest Priority.
   Put Flower Pots, Chairs, Other regular items without special effect into Lowest Priority.
   I hate it when instead of me picking up item i want game decided to grab a barrel or a chair near the item i wanted to pick up. In such fast passed game, there is no need for pixel hunting for the item you want to pick up.

3. Replace effect visual of Dematerializer to something less Light Refracting, it is impossible to see and shot through it in most cases or enemy visual model moved abit compare to the actual spot you supposed to hit because of this.
   You can only hit reliably after you already hit enemy and you got UI elements popping on him.

4. Fix jumpads of all kinds. Too often they send me flying in the opposite direction of where i am actually moving, or they don't move all the way to the intended destination.
   Fix placeable jumppads so they either have a few seconds activating time, or that they acting instally as placed, because i hate it when i place a Jumppad under me, or on top of Cashout, and most of the time it doesn't do anything unless i do some kind of shaman ritual by running out of it, and then Jump Slide while Running into it for Jumpad to work.

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.

[long crag]

im getting new players on my team everytime on world tour, at this point just add skillbased matchmaking

[tidal folio]

Okay embark your ranked matchmaking is absolutely garbage. I’m a level 72 and cannot get out of bronze because unless I avg 20+ kills on 5 or less deaths my teammates are always terrible and we don’t make it past the first round EVER TIME. Explain how a level 72 is still bronze?????? It’s ridiculous. When I match make with friends we dominate but when I solo que I have to play like a freakin professional gamer with no real job to win the first round.

[wide vortex]

Still havent updated the game as im waiting for WINCH rework, you can leave everything else as it is if you like but just rework the winch. Wont be updating the game until i see that in patch notes

[broken citrus]

Please devs of Embark.. don’t forget the finals with all of the massive success of ARC Raiders launch 😢😢

[eternal kayak]

The Finals would be more popular if it prioritized being a shooter first. Trying to balance melee weapons and nerf guns to give those players a chance is what turns shooter fans off. The most hated weapons in all of shooter game history have always been noob tubes and riot shields. Melee weapons aren’t too far from the sentiment felt with riot shields. The guns that should be powerful like the FCAR and AKM have been nerfed into the ground. They often are out DPS’d in close quarters by weapons that nearly any shooter fan would consider cheap. Nearly all cashouts are in close quarters making this the most important range in the game. No one looking to play a shooter game wants to be wenched and hammered from height while shooting at someone the entire time. I’ve lost final rounds because the cashout was in an elevator and a team of 3 riot shielders locked themselves in the elevator using defibs and heal beams. This game promotes cheap playstyles and nerfs the playstyles respected by most shooter games before it and I believe it’s to the detriment of the game.

HI

[alpine summit]

I think it’s time Embark takes a serious look at the smurfing issue in ranked. Too many Ruby and high-level players are creating smurf accounts just to dominate lower ranked lobbies, and it’s ruining the experience for everyone else who’s trying to climb fairly.

Smurfing is basically cheating, it manipulates matchmaking and holds players back from progressing. I really suggest adding account verification through phone numbers or SMS codes to limit how easy it is to make multiple accounts.

It’s gotten to the point where World Tour mode feels more enjoyable because you don’t have to deal with as many smurfs there even though they still do it. Ranked should feel competitive and fair, not frustrating and rigged.

there are people out there who just want to chill in casual after work, but the fact that leaving mid game is unpunished, it ruins the fun part of the game, can Devs spice up the punishment pls? i dont care if its casual, i said what i said, make it less easy to leave.

[pseudo leaf]

can you guys add the dm system to the game plz. @violet matrix no sht bf6 and arc raiders are out and fresh. + they don't want to add or change stuff before the major so not much happens for casual players other than the new game mod. (To be honest it is mid)

[pliant lion]

Couldn't agree more, they try too hard to make melee viable, which in turn makes it very OP when people actually put time into learning it.

Also what's with the sudden insane influx of cheaters? Literally every match I play now has at least one or two "players" in it who have near 100% accuracy, no recoil or are looking at everyone through walls. It's getting insanely frustrating to even play a single match now. Literally every time I boot up the game I get a message where multiple people I have reported have been banned, but I feel like it's barely a dent in the massive amount of people cheating in this game.

[coral axle]

ARC RAIDERS themed season, with both battle pass and a themed map, maybe even a few cosmetics in the shop and a 2400 MB pack.

[worldly thunder]

Sniper and ks are not in a great place rn. Making them consistent at range would be a great start. I'd wager keeping hitscan at 40m is stronger for cqc metas, but since one of them IS a sniper rifle...why keep this in the current meta where long range engagement is strong?

I don't play the ks (did a couple seasons ago though)nor the sniper, but I saw how the common man struggles with the mechanic, on top of the shitty server reg we got going on.

For the snipe, they eventually resort to playing it like a pocket shotgun under 40m because they cant be arsed, which is not was the sniper was designed for? Might as well use the db or the matter. Even at long range, the dmr and ar, and (maybe) the mp5 do a better job than the snipe.

You dont need to gauge whether its a projectile or hitscan. Just gauge the distance, the drop and there is still skills with those weapons.

Bullet drop and travel would also be more satisfying lol.

[dry ridge]

ADDING TO @iron herald 'S MESSAGE: WHY AM I GETTING QUEUED UP WITH A FULL RUBY TEAM IN WORLD TOUR AS A GOLD 2 PLAYER IN RANK

[iron herald]

You should not be allowed to sit on the box and not plug it, in order to run down the clock. The box should move to the nearest team in order to keep the game moving. Because I just played a game with a sour RUBY team, and they decided to turn the game into a king of the hill game. Simply because they could. They wasted my time as well as the time of my team. If this is how the game is to be played now it simply makes me sad. This is not how I thought the game would turn into since I was part of the closed Beta (guess I'm wrong). I do not want to be part of such a toxic community

Thank you @dry ridge and Deathwhite#0434 for sticking with it into the very end.

[outer agate]

Separate balancing for casual and comp could solve problems dividing the community, put the balance in ranked what the higher ranked people want it to be and leave the nerfs out of wt or casual, if items can be disabled for some game modes like defibrillator from tdm then why not change damage/firerate values for them too, and changing fire rates for some guns like the model 1887 might be better than damage bc changing the damage by a little drastically changes the ttk while changing the fire rate a little would put it in the perfect spot. Like the ks23 would be much better with a slightly faster fire rate but changing the damage to be higher would make it op. Changing how the weapon feels is better than making is worse while shooting the same, we can adapt for different recoil or timing, we can’t make a bad weapon deal more damage though

[gilded quartz]

[cobalt star]

Feedback
I’ve noticed that many matches (especially in Quick Cash normal and also in ranked pick-up) involve around 60 % of players picking the Light class. The Light class isn’t a problem in itself, but when it becomes critical in numbers it creates issues: if you’re the only or main Light in your team, you quickly become the target of the battlefield among many Mediums/Heavies and other Dashes/Furtives.
This forces you to adopt an anti-Light gameplay (flamethrower, grenade launcher) even if you don’t particularly enjoy those weapons, or to switch yourself to Light just to fit in.
On top of that, ranked games are very long and it’s difficult to get started there. They are more serious, yes, but the barrier to entry is high.
It would be good to find ways to encourage players to diversify their class choices.

[dire notch]

Why, after two years of the game's existence, does it allow itself to start RANKED matches that are NOT FULL? What is the point of this countdown “x players connected out of x” IF IT MEANS NOTHING IN THE RANKINGS? Is this normal matchmaking? Overwatch was able to cancel such matches before they started many years ago. Because it's not “the spirit of competition” and it's not a fair game when your team is simply focused on because it's not full. Compensation means nothing if it's -800 instead of -1000 in a match where you weren't given a chance in the first place

[lament talon]

all cashouts should be worth the same the last one should me maybe a lil more but not that much

[timber totem]

[sonic arrow]

Idk what we did this patch but every time there's more than 2 enemies on my screen my framerate gets halved

also the defib/deathcam bug is still here

so glad we're prioritizing a major rather than fixing this stale game, no wonder half the playerbase left to play arc

[violet kernel]

Just loose a ranked easy tour tournament with 70% of SMURF in it, a random Guy level 12 in ranked 37k yeahhhhh embark continue to keep this problem under the table and see your player base ranked say bye bye to this absolut bullshit.

[tough stump]

Flame throwr is skillless, pls maekit take skil

[upper citrus]

model is in a perfect state. its just unfavored by the range meta. why cant anyone here see past stat buffs and nerfs to weapons they notice

[inner bough]

1774 hours in this game, and I think many of its problems come from the low player count. The crazy fans of this game play it every day and keep improving their skills, so for newcomers it’s nearly impossible to even reach mid-platinum, since you already start meeting rubys there. I’d also like to point out that melee feels a bit worse after season 5, though that might just be my subjective opinion.

[faint saddle]

Not subjective when
Dagger got nerfed 5.9.0 (180 to 150 degrees)
Crouch no regs got introduced 7.6.0
Sword Neck brace got added 7.6.0
And in 7.0.0 Sledge got nerfed 200 to 154

EVERY Melee has been catching starys and nerfs while embark supposedly advocates for melee vaibility in this game and weapon vairety and all we see is shak/sa winch and milisecond sledge is good or sword is good they get nerfed and dagger was always shit and caught 8 straight nerfs and feature removals they advertised for that were in the game for over a year and randomly get removed

[hushed nimbus]

They should buff the CL so that it can one-shot mediums, 3 shot lights and 1,5 shot heavy. The radius should be buffed to 20 meters, so that it would cover most of the room

[dusty igloo]

Moving platforms just does not work. It just doesnt. Entirely remove it, unless you get multi billion dollar servers, dedicated to specifically moving platforms. Its not good. Even in game design, its not good. There is no redeeming factor to moving platforms. All it does is give awful cashout locations, and any fights or attempt to do anything on the moving platform will be laggy, it will be a mess, remove it

[tough sphinx]

nerf light melee (nerf the hitbox of the player, you should not land your stab if you dash past them 5 meters but keep the damage the same), nerf heavy revolver and winch claw, nerf defib, you should be nullified after being defibbed and not be able to shoot as soon as you get up

[vestal prairie]

-5 to 10 p90 bullets

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 👍🏼

[covert yacht]

embark needs to have a look at their balance team and just have the balls to do changes and not be afraid of what the community will say like idk hard nerf all ranged weapons and buff melee for example then we have to changes that will make it so all weapons can have a change cause right now EVERYTHING is based on what rubys/pros want the game to be

[modern bramble]

please revert the white support structures that hold the spectator stands on all thge maps, or at least make it an option. i want to be able to see far into the distance still and the new supports make the arena feel claustrophobic

FIX YOUR AWFUL MATCHMAKING. why am i fighting against lobbies of rubys and diamonds when i dont even play ranked?? and i'm playing quick play modes?? yeah of course we get stomped constantly, those players are miles better than me ???

[languid niche]

After watching the interview with the CEO of embark I understand the struggles of this game more clearly. While I still wish the servers can be fixed, which relates to crashes and is my biggest concern as an old gen player, I understand that I should be more patient. The video is very insightful regarding how embark and all the devs have approached the making of the game and trying new things and having new tools that no other company has, making it more challenging to resolve technical problems. I’m not mad, I’m honestly impressed. THE FINALS has some very loyal fans and I am one of these which appreciates all the effort put into this game despite of its unique challenges. Thank you for everything embark

[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?

[bitter wigeon]

I loved Heaven or else
Thank you embark for making it

[spring shadow]

The other 14 351 players are spread across ALL regions and probably stopped playing cause Embark queues them against rubies. 🙂 GG 10/10 game design. Also getting 500ms latency out of the blue for second and final round after round 1 being just fine also makes a lot of sense and makes the experience very enjoyable.

[broken kestrel]

I have seen a not insignifiant number of players complaining about a larger than normal percentage of frame drops and stuttering,
Iʼve seen this atributed to a large number of things, the new anti cheat having a higher than before CPU load being the one I have seen the most,
Suffice this to say, a fix or at minimum something from the devs acknowledging this as an issue would be greatly appreciated from those encountering said issue

[rapid stream]

Played some games today for the first time since the heaven/hell event. Used to have 120fps+ consistent, now its unplayable with hard stutter between 50-70fps? Game was fine for the last 2 years. Please fix, game is no longer playable

I do believe you can do this in the outfit creation menu, select all the things you want together and you don’t have to buy anything until you finish creating the outfit

we need to buff the xp gain for the healing beam all my other medium specific gadgets are rank 9-11 meanwhile healing beam which i use all the time is barely halfway through level 7 takes forever to grind out skins

[fading cobalt]

You disabled Defib from TDB because it negatively impacted the mode. Disable Sniper from PS for the same reason.

Please stop giving us Sandstorm Vegas on the Final Round in Vegas please.

Also complete the construction on the pool tables, they dont have rails

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.

[odd ibex]

💥Auto cross for HEAVY class,it fits right in with the pike and lh equivalent for heavy and it’s a PROJECTILE .
The sights should have good magnification to land shots and calculate how far the projectile will land.

Add Bonus Pages to the Legacy Battle Passes. Paid for content must not disappear or change

[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.

[subtle canopy]

nice game

[proven crown]

Still dome shields just don't deploy (and didn't get exploded on the way to the ground) because of slow equip and deploy times combined with low server tick rate... Please reduce times to equip and deploy RPG and Dome and tablets - it's horribly unresponsive especially if you're playing with high ping. The game already feels floaty because of the server side movement, so please consider that for high players this is a horrible combination. You can find ways to nerf things while making them more responsive to use - we want a game that feels more responsive.

Ranked is actually pointless.
Challenging and Very Challenging tournaments are easier than the so called "Easy" tournaments...

I only climb when I'm apparently facing "difficult" opponents, but the easy games are just filled with smurfs.

How can I be winning against people higher ranked and lose against low ranks?

And you lose more points because it's supposedly "easy"... the point system is a joke.

Can I just request only challenging tournaments?

• Bracelets and watches should be on opposite wrists so you can wear both, or let us choose what is on either wrist

• returning to the menu is really janky now? I have to spam space where as you use to be able to just press esc and be right back.

• self elim with explosives should count as an elim for the last person to damage you in the few seconds prior. This is a big issue in TDM as you can control whether the other team gets points or not.

• It would be cool if two players had an orf out they spoke to eachother.

[oak flame]

usually don't post here but can we do something about the exclusive full screen issues with stuttering? they were added in s8. borderless windowed can cause issues when using 2 monitors
also right now powershift on Citadel has performance issues when you move onto another match after playing.
i think the game isn't unloading the effects on that map. so i lose a good 15% until i restart. the map itself runs fine but its causing lower then usual fps on other maps once loaded into memory .

[regal tiger]

I can't open the menu option while i'm in practice range, world tour and ranked. I been facing this issue since the last 6-7 months i believe. I tried to validate the files in steam, several times restarted and went to practice range to check if the menu is accessible or not. Nope it's not. It's so frustrating mate. I want this to be fixed that's all. I even created a ticket in the official embark support website and i have sent a feedback. I really want this to be fixed .

p90 nerf (i beg), why? Because an smg for mediums with 50 bullets that do insane dmg compared to the m11 and xp is just a joke, as for anything else, throwing knives are annoying (could do with a slight nerf), as well as a bug where space bar does not work sometimes for respawing, and for some reason my ping can be quite bad in this game, so im guessing its a server issue (quality or distance), as for that, more fun movement is all I hope for

Separate the key binds into categories (i.e. Movement, combat, communication, in game menu navigation, lobby menu navigation.) My inspiration from this was realizing there is an action to toggle aiming, but I never really saw it since alot of the controls are under one category.
Maybe disabling your own bullet trails for hitscan weapons, sometimes when I'm in a high stress situation I trick myself into thinking I have to track my aim.
Being able to change where voice commands are located on the communication wheel, and keybinds to do specific commands and pings since its kind of a hassle to do it

harpoon class for medium class not light
light is already op enough with almost every weapon it has
Dawg i aint even playing tdm literally every quick cash/ranked/ world tour atleast 2 lights each team they use dagger/sword/snipers and the double barrel that 2 shots ive played since launch and just recently the gane has been swarmed with lights
You're literally a washed light player thinking it needs buffs when all of its weapons already deal a shit load of damage
i also see that medium p90 needs a nerf other then that medium is the most balanced out of the 3 if they nerf light on the melee and give some new weapons to actually make light have variety cause its annoying see just melee on lights
heavy titan needs a nerf on damage and bullet drop off
other then that nothing else needs a buff or nerf
well theirs winch claw to remove the stun after you get winched
i dont just see light being the problem

dual blades need a Nerf, only in the sense of the blocking, Not only is it kinda ridiculos that they can reflect bow arrows back at you full speed from anywhere above your chins, its also absurd that the reflecting doesn't have a limit, buddies hands dont get tired? You can mag dump 40 bullets into em and have every one blocked or sent back at you. It is counter-able i know, it just feels like these two things stand out most when facing them. Im not against the mechanic itself just some of the things seem unthought of or uncared about idk

[gritty jetty]

Light is underpowered and there has never ever been a double or triple light meta. If you think light is op you need to get off the tdm

[verbal cairn]

yep light already had some weapons that would fuck its ass but every season they add more the amount of stuff that denies light entry to entire rooms or the amount of things that 2 shot. light is about as weak as it was in season 1 and 2 only reason it still gets used is for abilities like h+infuser and gateway. its miserable playing light this season. imagine crying over double barrel wich 2 shots meanwhile, sr84, m26 matter, dagger, sword, sh1900, model 1887, repeater, cerberus, sledge, ks23, BFR, mgl, cl40, bow, riot shield, 2 shot lights add winch and heavy becomes a 12m killing zone with any weapon. flamethrower denies light entry to entire rooms, mines take out 80% hp. BUFF LIGHT

[rose oyster]

Okay some complaints because what the actual hell is this:

1. Netcode. How are SO MANY shots doing nothing. Any 1v1 you have is like shooting nerf darts half the time.
2. Teaming. Why are there so many quick cash games where two teams are blatantly playing 6v3? They literally just defend cash out together and don’t even fight over it. Maybe just an Xbox problem, idk.
3. Heavy. What the hell is this class? Y’all haven’t been able to find a way to make this shit balanced since I started in season 1, and honestly it’s just gotten worse. Light is basically unplayable at this point because of it, and it keeps getting worse with shit like Winch Claw, Flamethrower, BFR, Lockbolt, and the sheer amount of destructive potential Heavy has.

Either make it a destruction-based tank that relies on teamplay to lock down objectives and keep out enemies, or figure something out. Medium is supposed to be the all-rounder, not this. The only thing Heavy has to rely on other classes for is mobility and healing, and even then it’s not THAT big of a deal.

4. XIM USERS. Need I say more? I will, because I’m out of the match I backfilled into.
They’re fucking PLAGUING Xbox. Damn near every other match there’s AT LEAST ONE person blatantly using a XIM, beaming people from across the map, or snapping onto people in a way no controller is capable of. It’s getting insane, and y’all CLEARLY aren’t banning these people.

I can't get over how insanely stupid this matchmaking algorithm is, it takes NOTHING into consideration, not the player's account level, no attempt at balancing teams, no attempt at making sure the classes are even so you don't get matched with 4 Lights in Power Shift, even if you want pub matches to have no SBMM don't you think it makes a little more sense to make sure that low account level players who are new to the game don't potentially get turned away by getting matched against nearly level 100 players with hundreds of hours in the game?

Give rebate to people who bought arc deluxe edition

change the cashout on skyway with only 2 possible spawns and only pads to use to cross. impossible to push against a team with any brains.

we had shotgun meta, we have poke meta, can we please go back to automatic meta and buff the fcar and lewis and xp etc

[pliant lichen]

Just queued in to a QC game and saw Kyoto in the load screen. Instantly alt+f4'd. Rebooted game. Queued into another QC game. Kyoto again. Closes game with alt+f4 again. Opened discord on my phone. Go to search bar of Official Finals server. Search for 'remove kyoto' in searchbar. There is 774 fucking results. 774. Seven hundred and seventy four results...
Gee, its almost like people don't actually want to play this map!
Take a fuqin hint. Seriously. How long does this have to go on for?

[sonic arrow]

if you want full auto meta black ops 7 is out

also idk what we did this patch but frame drops have gotten to the point where it is unbearable to play the game. If you're aren't going to patch the game because of esports (a big mistake) then can you at least fix persisting performance issues and game breaking bugs that will definetly appear in the major? If you're wondering where you're playerbase went they probably got tired of this stale meta, terrible performance, and bugs that have never been patched. No wonder everyone left for arc

[slate mauve]

Cashball every Weekend.

[daring remnant]

I reckon you gotta either buff cloaking device or nerf dash. theres not a reason to run cloaking device when it means giving up dash, and since vanish bomb exists you lose nothing and gain so much mobility

[zinc ember]

So is ??

[tribal spoke]

Dual blades badly need a dps buff. An idea: Replace the current combo with a flat 70/70 dmg each. Definitely remove the third slash

[orchid veldt]

I would love if ghoul rush could stay as a permanent game mode. It is so much fun. It is a great option for solo queue players who maybe want a break from team modes

[vital island]

something NEEDS to be done about wt and ranked in oce

[hybrid silo]

Nah, sadly these are way too advanced for this community not to mention embark would break the entire game if they added any of this because that’s how terrible they are. Rocket jumping would be cool so that I don’t have to start a fight with -100 hp because H pressed a button and fall through the floor but that is too big of a crutch to not use.

[tawny oak]

FIX THE FUCKING CROSSPLAY SERVERS

THE MORE CONSOLE PLAYERS IN THE MATCH THE WORSE THE PERFORMANCE AND SERVER FOR PC PLAYERS

HOW AND WHY IS THIS EVEN A THING

Fix the dead bodies attracting the mouse/controller towards it, why is that even a thing

[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.

[lofty meadow]

what happened tho cause my frames and all of my friends are considerably lower compared to what it used to be

was getting like 175-195ish on 1440p low, and now im getting around 115-145fps

[thorny pond]

Can we have the option to choose the skins we want in the randomizer option

[worldly flicker]

Good evening, THE FINALS team. I would like to make a suggestion: add a store where players can spend their coins, since once you claim all the sights, weapons, and aids, they become useless. I'm not asking for a store that sells incredible weapons, just somewhere to spend them. Thank you for your attention.

[wide creek]

Game still crashing on startup, been like this for a week now, yes I've tried every fix under the sun.

Unless you're a real tech wiz please dont be commenting "validate game files" or something, I've tried EVERYTHING

Please address this sometime soon embark

(Any in-depth suggestions would be welcome)

[real scroll]

I don't like how some cashouts are like 50m away from each other. I think it makes third partying too easy and less of committing to a choice of which cashout to challenge.\

[obsidian ginkgo]

would like to see changes for RS calculations, right now if you seed 2 and there's any ruby team you got very low points beating them and those lobbies just risky and no point. Second ruby split by region, changes for solo queue for more precise search

[quartz cedar]

Fix performance that got messed up in patch 8.6 (?), I simply cannot allow myself to play,(more importantly, pay for) this laggy,, unstable stuttery mess you have created since that patch.
3000 hours, 0 performance issues since launch, and now you are making me consider uninstalling.
I hope for your sake you can find a fix, many people are having this issue.

REMOVE KYOTO!!!!

[smoky gust]

in head 2 head, you can beat a team twice (cashbox and cashout), and if you do it at a moderate pace, you give them enough time to try a 3rd time

its still better than what quick cash has going on imo
but it could be even better

i would give inserting the cashbox a reward, to make fighting over it worth something (not opening though, due to it being very much up to spawning location)
and reduce the timer on the cashout takes in total, maybe reducing the timer by a set for each elimination could be interesting?

[copper blaze]

Add SBMM to the casual game modes.
Especially a ranked version of powershift would be nice.

Also: Fix climbing please, quite often the climbing animation works, but you fall down anyway.

hey guys. how to fix tf0001 error ?

Man they should just remove classes altogether. Having characters with different HP and movement speed is the source of this games balancing issues. You're complaining about heavies hp when others complain about lights moving at Lightspeed all day long

Day 2 .
I can't open the menu option while i'm in practice range, world tour and ranked. I been facing this issue since the last 6-7 months i believe. I tried to validate the files in steam, several times restarted and went to practice range to check if the menu is accessible or not. Nope it's not. It's so frustrating mate. I want this to be fixed that's all. I even created a ticket in the official embark support website and i have sent a feedback. I really want this to be fixed .

[west light]

What's the rescue plan for The Finals? The original developers and designers are taking their sweet time returning to The Finals after saving ARC Riders. Matchmaking has become a neighborhood affair; it's rare to get a match where I haven't already played with at least two other players.

242,619 is the peak, we are at an average of 10,000-14,000 players on the main platform.

[split mason]

This game isn’t even remotely fun. Heavies are broken, winch still in game, unbearable gameplay

[spice mural]

Goo gun is ingenious construction system, thanks Embark for the cool system, ❤️

[keen karma]

PREACH, rescue the ranked matchmaking too. Now I know why ranked is dying...solo queue ranked should not be matched against 3 stack unemployed rubies. Keep getting matched against stewj/sanguine/appoh/bizzy/llama/stn2k at least 5 times despite being plat this season. I've heard gold players bump into these rubies as well. You will lose all your player base if this continues tbh

[waxen thicket]

Kindly improve the Scotty and June voicelines. These are AI generated lines you can just print out en masse and pay out the commissions to the original voice actors. Why be so lazy about it? There still aren't any voicelines for double cashboxes and 3rd parties even though they are much more common than you think, and still are significant events that the announcers just...ignore? Like come on, put some effort into it, the voicelines haven't had any proper improvements for more than a year now. Everyone criticizes AI voiceovers for being low quality and low effort, at least prove them wrong.

[halcyon patio]

PLEEEASE BRING BACK THE BLACK AND WHITE WESTERN SKIN

[sterile canopy]

It’s so they can create indefinite variations of lines forever, and maybe eventually do it in realtime

Nerf light, thanks

[cyan stirrup]

Lights are still overrepresented and unfun to play against in a casual tier

[solemn light]

Bc there are whinning players that dont know how to play against it and they get killed by good snipers.
If the sniper bullet is going to have dropoff velocity past 80m, then every other weapon should have that too. You shouldnt be able to snipe with a repeater or bfr at distances where the sniper is supposed to beat you
Also, may I add sniper takes 2 shots if you hit a headshot. Repeater and bfr take 2 shots no matter where they hit and they have similar ttk as the sniper.
So as a L sniper, you are demanded more accuracy with less damage and less health. Its sooo unfair

I love THE FINALS, but it feels like the game is currently in its least enjoyable state since release. Some examples for this:

• SPAWN LOGIC that enables cash box interception (been an issue since season 4) (https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1289676450059784315)
• MATCHMAKING that frequently enables solo queuers to be matched against full parties of very high-tier players (https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1384830383194902672)
• PERFORMANCE ISSUES with occasional freezes lasting a whole second (https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1331213241912918018)
• VOICE CHAT frequently not working in parties or voice chat input device randomly switching (https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1429925022343889066)
• A lot more noticeable BUGS than usual: hidden cash box indicator (https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1431802781412622498), invisible players (https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1434437981841920001), misbehaving goo (https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1387075324818231419), probably lots more that I couldn't bother remembering
• A stale and too balanced weapon/gadget META, no balance changes with the mid-season update, and nerfs to all the "fun" weapons like sledgehammer and sword

Balance needs to be more consistent with every gun. AKM is a good weapon for first experience. But there's no reason to use it when you discover FCAR, better recoil control, damage, reload, ttk and distance. So, balance is not necessary if you let the skill mastery to the players. I was beated by a ruby with throwing knives and feels so fair because he was keeping the close ranges and hitting in the head consistently. Balance isn't about creating better options in every scenario, balance needs to prioritize the skill in different situations.
AKM is still the best option if you buff it to be unique. Every weapon must feel unique, not weak and useless...

Keep cooking Embark, improve the balance settings

I'm a FAMAS user btw

[teal minnow]

I'll go play Arc untill you manage to fix your dogshit servers. Even aternos servers are better than what is running this game atm ,esports ready game my ass untill your servers are shit ✅

[icy charm]

Bad ks-23 suggestion

[sterile canopy]

AKM vs FCAR is not clear cut. The FCAR does not actually have a ttk advantage over the AKM; which one is faster depends on the specific assumptions you use, but FCAR is only generally faster in a typical case if you hit almost no headshots, with the AKM taking a slight lead otherwise. And you have neglected to mention the AKM’s notably bigger mag.

By popular opinion the FCAR is the more viable of the two but outside of the highest levels of play you’re not going to be able to find much evidence of it being less effective, certainly not enough that you could identify it without good data collection. I suspect that if AKM were actually weaker at typical levels of play it would have been buffed long ago.

[proper patio]

I think that Stitcher lvl 4 need to be nerfed..

given that there are 4 specializations for Heavy and 3 for Light and Medium we should have 10 character slots total instead of just 8, even 9 would be better

[slender pine]

(1) winch claw been OP for 5 seasons

(2) healing gadgets are cringe as fuck

(3) no balance changes for 3 months is horrible tbh, i wish i was on your balance team so i got paid to do absolutely nothing

[reef drum]

Im very happy how The Finals turned out, i started playing in beta and honestly got very mad when i heard they were making new anticheat for the game as i tought linux support would be lost, but they made right by the community and promised continued linux support even with the new anticheat. I know currently everyone is very hyped about Arc Raiders but i personally think, this game is their best masterpiece yet. Even tought it has its problems, thanks for the game Embark.

[solemn fulcrum]

Why would you censor the word "zombie" in text chat?

[cold bolt]

they could add a 100 second cooldown to winch and it'd still be meta because nothing else heavy has comes even close to what winch can do for you and your team

just remove it and replace with something else like you did with recon embark, there is no way to make it balanced

[spiral hemlock]

when do you think you'll guys will realize winch was the worst thing to ever add to this game

[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 nerf sniper, I have always thought that it required a high skill ceiling for it to be good and I just kept running into “good” snipers when in actuality it’s just insanely OP.

Also add goblins to the finals

[thorny trout]

no offense or anything but you realize you can change your sensitivity right

[round geyser]

I can’t be the only one who hates the new arenas.

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

[rain hawk]

if you guys arent gonna push out game balances can we at least get some qol changes and bug fixes

[quartz shell]

was the first sentence made for attention? ill try that too

[cursive plank]

Buff Terry. Right now, the turret is the worst spec in the game. Not because its popular, but because it sucks. I'm not asking for a health or damage buff, those aspects are fine. The turret needs to have better detection. So, make its swivel faster so it can see more effectively

[inland panther]

I like the arn and am saving for p90. Can we get a light grenade launcher if heavy and medium get one?

[wide creek]

Heavy needs to be nerfed

Also, TDM should not just be neverending prox mines, sonars, and glitchs.

ALSO, WHY DO GAS MINES GO OFF WHEN SHOOTING.

[glacial geyser]

Ranked is actually pointless.
Challenging and Very Challenging tournaments are easier than the so called "Easy" tournaments...

I only climb when I'm apparently facing "difficult" opponents, but the easy games are just filled with smurfs.

How can the system be so broken that I'm winning against people higher ranked and losing against low ranks?

And you lose more points because it's supposedly "easy"... the point system is a joke.

Can I just request only challenging tournaments?

[alpine summit]

this need more recognition because most people in this discord server will scream “skill issue” when that’s not the case. The point is ppl are smurfin lower lvl accounts with high awareness in game manipulating the matchmaking in a supposed “easy” tournament. It’s cheating and should be dealt with. If you’re a seasoned vet in the finals and you Smurf you should be aware it’s cheating and not everyone is on your skill level. Skill issue my ass I can already hear it now.

Fix controller dead zone to zero pls

[oak sorrel]

Drop Evasive Dash charges to 2, but allow dash to “blink” through walls. Currently, dash is used almost exclusively for aggressive combat purposes. This is fine, save for the fact it can be oppressive in the right hands, or against console players.

With a blink, it still provides distance for aggressive combat (and allows chasing those pesky demat users), but reduces its oppressiveness in a firefight. Light is the only class that doesn’t have a spec allowing you to easily go through walls (Demat, CnS) which means light doesn’t have as much survivability when attempting to actually evade, which is the entire purpose of the spec.

[covert oxide]

Bad idea. There’s nothing wrong with dash exactly how it is. Light is currently well below Medium and Heavy in terms of balance; dash is currently the best option for most lights to even the tables. Grapple and invis should both be made about 5-10% better, and the specs would be fairly balanced for light.
Truthfully, anyone who is expecting to have a face to face fight with a light is deceiving themselves. That’s not what light is for, and it is at a great disadvantage in those settings accordingly. Not to mention, hurting dash that badly will severely damage both melee weapons for light, which are both very underpowered right now anyway.

[rose oyster]

Yeah pretty much this. Dash doesn’t really need tuning, it’s just the other options aren’t really all that good. I like Grapple. I’ve been playing it more recently (when I’m not playing the only medium on the team) with an XP-54 or SR-84, but it’s definitely just not as good as Evasive Dash. But I haven’t touched Invisibility since Season 1 or 2 because it’s so bad now.

Had a thought for Grapple. Make it how Pathfinder’s Grapple used to work in Apex. Making it dynamically change its cooldown based on the distance of the grapple. Max grapple range is the full 8 seconds, but a short or mid range grapple is like 4 or 6.
Makes it more useful in close-mid range engagements, especially since you can shoot while using it. Times could be adjusted, of course so it’s not too spammy, but since it only has a single charge, it shouldn’t be too big of a deal.

I also think the Turret needs some help though too. I don’t usually play it because I tend to prefer to heal (unless my teammates are dying too quick cough cough) but the lock on time is terrible now. It used to be really oppressive when 2 turret 1 heal MMM was a thing, but now it’s basically like not having a specialization.

It's sad to see what has happened to this game it used to be so much fun this season feels awful and just down right not fun

[covert dagger]

Less full stacks against randoms full teams of randoms with two under level 40's would have been great several seasons ago. Would still be great. Don't need sbmm but matchmaking balance still needs to exist

This is a genuinely great idea

Enough with the poke weapons.

Nerf/Rework Winch Claw

Easy to use tool with a free stun against players.

• The winch should be objectively used on objectives.
• If the winch would be used on players, It should have a charge-up to make it less easy-to-use tool on players. Feels really unfair.

@abstract rose , "please add mode bans for the zombie mode, 4/5 games having 3+ people teaming is not okay."

You know it's a Zombie Survival for a reason. Ever played Counter Strike Zombies?

• Know this. The zombies can team-up and the survivors can either betray each other.
• Note: You don't earn anything. You play for the fun of it.
• Skill Issue: If you are survivor, Then just uhm kill them :) Or camp somewhere else safe.

[abstract rose]

please add mode bans for the zombie mode, 4/5 games having 3+ people teaming is not okay.

[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 nerf sniper, I have always thought that it required a high skill ceiling for it to be good and I just kept running into “good” snipers when in actuality it’s just insanely OP.

Also add goblins to the finals

[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.

[dire pier]

Console (Atleast PS5 for me) chat typing

On console you need to hold options down to type in the chat. Really cool that they added to console, but there is a problem that i have with it.

When you're typing something, like making your friend because he jumppadded himself into void and you get team wiped is funny.

But while youre typing and he falls deep enough into the void and dies, your team gets wiped. But its not just your team, the message that youre typing too. Every time something ingame happens
-the person you're spectating dies
-teamwiped
-you respawn
-waiting for cashout to finish and win and you win
-from victory to results of match
-probaly more instances too, these are the ones i can name of of the top of my head
the chat (and your message that you were typing) dissapears. So you then need to start typing that message from scratch again and if you have ever typed on a controller/tv remote you know the pain that it is.

It's quite annoying and i'd probaly use the chat more if that didnt happen every time, so if this was "fixed" it would be amazing for us console/ps5 players

[wise vector]

No gadget / spec cooldown / weapon reloading in the practice round. I play heavy and use the shak and its very time consuming trying to practice with it when It feels like im always reloading

[ornate narwhal]

Keep winch claw as is and don’t listen to the crybabies, winch claw is so good for 3v1s and it just makes heavy so fun to play

If you really wanna nerf it, eithrer add more counters to it, or increase the cooldown

[light quarry]

We love this game, spend money supporting it, cheer you on for 2yrs & you just fck off to launch Arc as your game falls apart. S8=worst season yet, no content, a million bugs, no balance, no love.

[regal tiger]

Day 3.
I can't open the menu option while i'm in practice range, world tour and ranked. I been facing this issue since the last 6-7 months i believe. I tried to validate the files in steam, several times restarted i even reinstalled the game and went to practice range to check if the menu pops up or not( when we click Esc , the menu pops up that's what i'm talking about). Nope it's not. It's so frustrating mate. I want this to be fixed that's all. I even created a ticket in the official embark support website and i have sent a feedback. I really want this to be fixed .

[sterile canopy]

...it's two different teams

S8's main thing is the majors

[long arrow]

nice matchmaking embark...we need cheaters come back to revive your game... instead afks rage quiting after first wipe

[hallow turret]

yeah thats how its meant to be

[glacial geyser]

Honestly, the Devs seriously need to put more effort into attracting and then keeping new players.

The current playerbase can argue over which specific class/gadget/weapon is OP or needs nerfing, but there's much larger issues that need to be resolved in order to keep the casual playerbase.

Here are the issues I think need addressing (in order of importance)

1. Damage drop off needs to happen much sooner and should reduce your damage even more drastically at range. New players are instantly turned off from the game the moment they get beamed from across the map. Whether it's a legitimately good player or not, their first thought is "cheater". Honestly, only the sniper rifle should really have that sort of range, everything else should be relegated to mid-ranged combat at best.
2. Fractured playerbase reduces the already small playerbase. I love the other game modes, so this is a really hard issue for me to raise, but when you have so few players you don't want to further segment them amongst multiple game modes.
3. Smurfs have ruined the ranked mode. I've mentioned this a few times (and it admittedly doesn't affect casual players), but the "Challenging" and "Very Challenging" tournaments are easier than the "Easy" tournaments. And because of the way the point system works, you lose more points against smurfs than you would against similar ranked or higher ranked players. I genuinely find it easier to play against players who are higher rank than me... That's just an embarrassment of a ranked system.

[trail grove]

• Add left handed view models
• Let players be able to click on a profile view other players banners on enemy teams
• Reduce the intensity of current destruction (breaking a corner of a wall and the whole building coming down isnt that fun)
• Revert the ADS tightness to spread on minigun back to the wider range (I hate what you did to my baby)
• Add more cutesy outfits, and soft coloured weapon skins.
• Add an option to fricken remove the eye adaption feature. (I hate not being able to see outside when im inside god forbid I need to see the guys im shooting right?)
• If possible, add a way of volumetric smoke/gas or something of that nature (Ive had matches where someone will throw gas two floors above me and I cant run up stairs cause gas goes through floors)
• Add a way to temporarily remove or reduce smokes using explosions like CS2 smokes.

[proven crown]

I feel like the best thing you could do some time next year, say mid year, is take the game offline, and Re-Launch The Finals once the Arc hype has settled.

This game deserves to be so much better and I think taking the time to fix issues and giving yourself the shot at a 2.0 with real staying power will be the best play long term. Nothing hits like The Finals, and everyone who likes the game now will DEFINITELY come back for a 2.0 release 3-6 months after a 'System Reboot'

*Increase server tick rate (it's horrible rn for a game like this) and common issues like desync, rubber-banding destroy the game, especially for higher ping players.
*Fix the crappy vault/station/team spawns: Teams who wipe first should be punished more; vaults should spawn closer to stations, stations should spawn further apart and teams should spawn further from stations.
*Make gadgets WAY more responsive. Dome and RPG feel bad to use and constantly bug out. I don't think anyone will complain about faster equip + deploy times and perhaps goo is the only exception here.
*Fix winch issues. IMO players should be able to shoot sooner after being winched. It's OP and frustrating as is.
*Make Kyoto more fun with clearer pathing through bamboo and clutter, bigger buildings to play in, better suspended structures and more cover in general. Less head glitches (different roofs). Moving platforms are bad in general, but on Kyoto it's diabolical
*Playstyle's perfected: In a nutshell insights videos would be great for new players who don't understand what 'stay together' truly means, or how to enter fights strategically, or how to win the 'information war'.
*Add a new map for 2.0 as well to ensure that all the big streamers can't resist coming back.
*Add some guns. A revolver/m1911 would be awesome for Light and another AR option for Medium would be appreciated

Remember you've built something truly ground-breaking, and it deserves a proper shot at getting the heights of fame it deserves ❤️

Fix the game after the anticheat update therea are already cheaters in plat/diamond elo in every 2 to 3 matches boosting some low lvl accounts to diamond and the game after the update runs in like 50-60 fps when it used to run at 80

[dark niche]

the only things i can think of that need changes right now are the sword & winch
sword was fine at 74/140 damage and winch is just too forgiving

[pseudo leaf]

Make snipers bullet travel time faster. Bfr "the pistol" is more constant than sniper in long range. Insane that a gun needs to be the best gun for long ranges but it loses to a person goes left and right + peak and go back to cover fast. And the reason for that is almost every other long range weapon is hit scan. I know you guys don't want to make it hit scan again because of powershift. Which is kinda crazy because you guys said we balance for cash out tournament. @calm kraken people were just arguing back and forth here which is not the best place to do in a feedback channel where embark gets some feedback.

[smoky gust]

please let us choose or impact what maps we get to play on

waiting all day for your favorite map, just for it to be over in 8 minutes with 0 competition due to an emeny steamroll is really disheartening

[wide vortex]

still havent updated the game as i havent seen winch rework in patch notes

[brave dagger]

The UI after matches could use a bit of work in my opinion.

Some praise firstly, the new introduced UI after cashout matches is really nice and I love it. It would be very nice to see it on the other game modes too. But I no doubt believe you guys are already working on that :).

However in general the UI after matches is a bit clunky. The controls have been changed quite a few times now and sometimes this has been for the worse. Id like for the UI to just go away back to the menu by pressing escape (or a corisponding button on console). Its jarring that thats not available right away after match end and I have to progress a few screens before I can use escape.

Secondly and more importantly. You are unable to move back and forth between the different screens after the match. And even worse some screens close on their own. This makes you sometimes miss information you would like to revisit. I believe the most elegant option for this would be to make tabs. Where the default behaviour right now would still work (eg. pressing space going through all screens). But have the tabs as an option to revert back to the screens. With console maybe having another button to go back previous screens would also work.

Lastly, but you must also already have been working on this ;). Have some form of match history. Id love to be able to view matches I played in the past. Maybe view more detailed statistics of which weapon I have whatever K/D and winrate on. This also ties back in to the tab view that would work best for a screen like this.

An inbetween solution before you have a full match history would be to have a button in the main menu somewhere that just shows the last games results. Thus if you accidentaly close the game results they arent lost on you.

❤️

[shy ocean]

dont rework it dont nerf it just straight up remove winch

[gritty jetty]

Sa12 is meta right now I dont see why you think it needs a buff, I would guess you are between bronze and silver

Dagger does need a buff though

[sonic arrow]

If my framerate averages at 45 with low graphics on then something is very wrong with the optimization

I have never had my frames consistently drop below 60 until this most recent patch, where in intense team fights it even dips down to 20. So idk what y'all did trying to make the game run like a Google slideshow but the optimization is in the worst spot it's ever been

[faint saddle]

So true why didn’t they just predict that they would leave and then never put them on anyone’s team at all

[boreal rivet]

Is it possible to add partial reloads? I may be using the wrong term but it's the mechanic where interrupting a reload keeps a certain part of the reload to retain continuity.
examples being
Reloading the revolver, when you drop the empty shells, you don't need to drop the shells again if you interrupt it,
Reloading rifles, Dropping the mag does not require you to drop it again.

This may mess with the balancing but it would make the gunplay seem smoother.

[fleet socket]

I JUST HAD SOMEONE RAGE QUIT THE FINAL ROUND AND FORCED TO SIT AROUND IN A 3V2 CAUSE THEY STAYED DISCONNECTED THE WHOLE ROUND INSTEAD OF JUST LETTING ME QUIT TOO FOR THE 14 POINTS! STOP WASTING PEOPLE TIMES, MAKE IT SO WHEN PEOPLE QUIT YOU CAN QUIT TOO

[verbal cairn]

balance team is so slow and bad bro you guys add more broken stuff then things you fix

[astral thorn]

fix desync, tickrates, netcode please

[dusty igloo]

Remove defib i frames

[dreamy owl]

full lobbie the light in casual, thats sucks

[quartz cedar]

Since patch 8.6 or when Denuvo got added I have had much lower FPS, stuttering, and insane frame drops.
Never had issues with performance from OB until now.
FYI I was playing on full ultra settings 3 weeks ago(for the meme), and had had better performance than I do now on fully optimized performance settings.
I've been expecting you to atleast address this, but then I'm reminded that this is indeed your secondary project, so please stop treating it like it's your fifth.

[true moon]

Hey so i was about to talk about dagger stuff but there's a guy called gelz on youtube who mains dagger and has addressed this already so im just gonnna post it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJIbPpN140E&t=30s
TLDW,
Cosmetics have been influencing the visibility of, well, being invisible, with cloak and vanishing bomb, influencing cosmetics for optimal play in order to maximize it
Dagger heavy stab wind-up sound can be heard by other contestants even when invisible (idk if this is intentional or not)
Even when invisible some things like mags from weapons give away your position when using a gun
Inspects are audible from all contestants even when invisible
Servers may not update hitboxes fast enough, appearing like backstabs are facestabs and vise versa, if completely register at all

Basically most cosmetic things in the game are affecting gameplay, even in competitive environments, and i think it should be addressed soon

[leaden tangle]

Hello Embark developers. I don't know if you're still monitoring this channel specifically, but I'd appreciate your attention to the following issues:

-Bullet drop at medium range for all weapons (Being shot from over 50 meters away by a FAMAS, a 93R, or a BFR is very oppressive if you're at a ground disadvantage).

-Nerf the Winch Claw and reduce SA1216 damage; the stun effect combined with an SA1216 burst easily kills all classes (I'm a user of this meta, but I feel guilty about how easily you can get kills using this build).

-Increase the player base through advertising and new content without sacrificing the core gameplay (In Mexico, we love this game and are the Latin American country with the most players, but frankly, you need to attract more players to improve matchmaking).

-More dedicated updates (lately, updates feel very slow; there's only one event in World Tour now, and the atmosphere is starting to feel repetitive across all modes. Store updates are fine, but it's getting boring to have two weeks of new skins and nothing else).

-QoL (I understand that your priority is the most competitive players and Arc Raiders rn, but competitive play on consoles becomes a joke when there are several bugs, like ending a Ranked match before entering the final round without receiving points or being able to reconnect).

I hope you can give this game more support; it has truly become my favorite game and the one I play most every day, but it's sad to feel that the game is becoming less appealing due to the lack of attention it receives.

[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

[violet matrix]

There are fewer and fewer players, the developers do not know how to keep the game alive. Are so mediocres

[round harness]

Arc raiders is lit

[fair valve]

Man I love this game so much, but the audio is definitely a big pain point for me. I'm not sure if it's the audio engine embark is specifically using for the finals, but from my own and my friend's experience, we're basically completely unable to hear important audio cues very frequently. I find that while you can pick up on enemy direction from gunshots and (barely audible) footsteps, it's nigh impossible to tell if an enemy is above or below you. There's no sense of verticality whatsoever.

The same applies to gunshot audio cues. Just today I had a light with a sawed-off shoot me several times while dashing forward, during the whole engagement the gunshots stayed exactly the same volume. There was no change in the cues entering and exiting buildings, no change in volume over distance, only the same muddy/muffled audio that plagues several other weapons.

I know how well embark can do audio, I've had a blast playing ARC Raiders, and it has some of the best sound design i've ever heard in as video game. I know what they're capable of, and I'm praying they give the final's audio the love it needs to be truly fantastic.

Hello, I would like to propose the idea of skin preview before you buy it. For example, I want to make an outfit for my character with an entirely custom skin that I will create from different skin pieces. But, before I buy everything to make it, I would like to be able to see how the combined outfit looks before I buy all the pieces, so I suggest you make a skin preview. It will help both players and you, its a win-win situation.

PLEASE FIX MATCHMAKING
every single game people leaving AND NOONE JOINS BACK (quick cash or power shift)
and fix damned matchmaking for not allowing people with low level to play against high level (power shift is constantly consist of 5 10-20 lvls agains 5 90-10 lvls)

[raven garnet]

consistency with skins you release. even tho some are the exact designe some cant have emblems but other ones of that style can. some cant have lower attachments but others of that style can. some cant have watches showing even when nothing is blocking the watch or wrist. some can have crossbody but others cant that share the exact same style. embark make it make sense to me? or is it just laziness or is something up with the program you use that randomly decides what you can and cant have on outfits you pay money for? cause its so wish wash its actually sad.

[hybrid oracle]

Day 16 of asking Embark to bring back bonus pages from past battle passes

[harsh whale]

Something should be done about third parties, obviously there is no easy answer but it just ruins almost every game. Maybe if you get a team wipe your regeneration start immediately, or something like the revenge mechanic from for honor. It's just demoralizing to win fight after fight but then lose because thirds

[midnight dock]

Hell no, that removes the authenticity of it, it wouldn't be as cool to have it if they did that

[torpid quarry]

Your game is dying and youre killing it. No one cares about the major just please implement the balance changes

[rose oyster]

I’ll take it lol, so here’s a message with just the Grapple bit.

Grapple Revamp
Give Light’s Grappling Hook a Dynamic Cooldown timer based on the distance the Grappling Hook travels before touching an object.
I can’t find the exact range of the Grappling Hook anywhere, so we’re gonna fudge some numbers. Say it has a 20m maximum range before it fails. If the Hook travels let’s say between 15-20m, it would have the full cooldown, being 8 seconds. If between 10-15m, 6 seconds, and <10m would be 4 seconds.
Making it a simple radius system (where the game essentially checks which circle the hook is in when it lands) should make it easier to implement, as well as simple for players to understand.
This change makes the Grappling Hook more useful in Close-Mid range engagements as you can already shoot while using it, but as it only has one charge, should minimize spam.
Obviously take the specific numbers as examples and not actual stats, but the idea remains the same.

[shrewd echo]

Arc Raiders is probably the best title of 2025, I just ran a mission, sick Embark, just sick. Also props on the heavy breathing in ghoul hunt... making my day

[thorny kelp]

We need a kill feed from everyone, not just from our own team, it would be nice to see who did what instead of relying on checking the stat page everytime a buzzer goes off.

[solemn fulcrum]

Healing meta is garbage

[slender pine]

H+ infuser ruined the game imop

[hearty bough]

This would actually be sick - For Honor revenge mechanic on wipe maybe along the lines of an over shield. Would need to have some hard-coded rules though, like only activates on a true 1 squad v 1 squad wipe so you don’t have over shielded players that are just taking part in a multi team fight.

[safe ginkgo]

Day 4.
I can't open the menu option while i'm in practice range, world tour and ranked. I been facing this issue since the last 6-7 months i believe. I tried to validate the files in steam, several times restarted i even reinstalled the game and went to practice range to check if the menu pops up or not( when we click Esc , the menu pops up that's what i'm talking about). Nope it's not. It's so frustrating mate. I want this to be fixed that's all. I even created a ticket in the official embark support website and i have sent a feedback. I really want this to be fixed .
I will keep texting this in here and in gamefeedback until they reply

[sonic arrow]

This is true

Also please fix the optimization and servers, it gets worse every "patch"

[pliant whale]

really cool how every time matchmaking will refuse to backfill leavers on my team in Power Shift but when half the enemy team leaves they get backfilled with hackers that absolutely dominate us and turn the match around

Ye ngl not doing a mid season patch nerfing winch dash 93r and bfr is a mistake, i understand wanting to keep the game the same for the major but all this is doing is driving away players

embark, please explain why i just lost 1500 for a win and got a 10 minute ban. all bc my wifi went out and i miss 3 mins of one round. make this bs make sense. vzo#2633 give me my RS back plus the RS for the win. thanks

[lapis trench]

winch claw suggestions

winch is becoming a problem (pretty obviously) and turns basically every heavy weapon op.

some suggest "increase the cooldown", which might help, however i think changing gameplay mechanics is more fun/less of a bandaid:

• If target is missed, and it hits a wall or ground, it could act like a lockbolt for a short duration, or until you walk towards the claw to "pick it up".
• combining with the above, walking in the direction of the claw could increase your walking speed in that direction "pulling" you in.

these combined, it could nerf/eliminate the careless nature of missing, maintaining the core feature of pulling things around, and introducing an option to help heavies move around quicker. (all with various cooldowns to tidy it all up)

[wispy gust]

game crashes, i join back and still get a comp ban for 10m.
if ur using heal beam and u swap to ur weapon, u let go of m1 a whole second before swapping and it still automatically fires when you swap to weapon. annoying on ak, it can get u killed on semi auto weapons like repeater

Cheaters running rampant in power shift tonight. Again. Anticheat is still a joke. Last match had three using auto targeting, all three in the same squad too!

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈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. Particularly when they dash behind you, otherwise (depending on the situation) it’s a skill issue.
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 nerf sniper, I have always thought that it required a high skill ceiling for it to be good and I just kept running into “good” snipers when in actuality it’s just insanely OP.
Also add goblins to the finals

[limber temple]

I want a funny spinning propeller hat

[plush nimbus]

It'd be really cool if the devs were to get the latest easyanticheat sdk then enable the arm-support flag cause then the 2% of mac players could play via linux arm instead of suffering via geforce now

[wide creek]

93R needs to be nerfed NOW

Mind you, not by much. But its too good at both long AND short range

Any sneak attack by the 93R will be instant death (against lights, speaking as a light main). You don't have time to react before the second round of bullets is already coming at you. It dominates across the board.

I'm really fucking sick of you taking Months, or even MULTIPLE SEASONS to fix obviously OP things in this game

Also, funny how its always light things that have to "undergo changes" and are locked for multiple seasons. Heavies are so far beyond balanced yet no "under maintenance" for winch. Dogshit balancing team

[hollow sage]

Yo, it's my man! Seconding this again!

[calm kraken]

my game deleted itself so now i cant get the final reward before the event ends

[plain jacinth]

Ranked mode is heavily affected by smurfs and cheaters boosting. One improvement could be restricting ranked party access(duos/trios) to accounts with at least 300 hours of playtime. Accounts under 300 are free to play solo. Additionally, a separate solo queue would help create a more authentic and balanced competitive experience.

[autumn sorrel]

Bring back bank it

[unreal zodiac]

can we pls fix the third hit on the spear please devs

[unreal tree]

World tour matchmaking needs to be looked at. The quickplay and ranked matchmaking work just fine, but world tour however desperately needs to be redone/fixed. Maybe its because Im a solo queuer, but jesus the constant going up against two teams of 3 high level clan members who absolutely demolish my team of lvl 40 randos and another team of randos makes me not want to play it. Im not asking for easy matches, but when youre constantly put into lobbies where its flat out unwinnable due to how hyper coordinated and hyper skilled the two parties are, it makes me matches feel pointless and meaningless.

[spark crown]

give controller the option for hold or double tap to pickup/reload.

also give controller the reverse s curve input option.

can famas and 93r be fucking nerfed yet? 0 recoil that can kill every class in like 2 fucking seconds from a mile away

embark can we please just get rid of the dumb page locking mechanic behind the old legacy passes i shouldn't have to grind for each page increase the cost of the items but let us grab what we want we shouldn't have to pay regular battle pass price and not be able to unlock whatever we desire from the pass show tokens are already slow as hell to get

when Denuvo got added I have had much lower FPS, stuttering, and insane frame drops. I lost almost 40 frames. Please find another anti-cheating option. All graphics settings are already low and I'm using the RTX3080 graphics card for my 5800x3d CPU. Now do I need a better PC spec than this?

On Xbox it's really annoying for the text chat keyboard to close when you respawn while in the middle of typing. Would appreciate it if it can stay open until I close it. Can't type what I want to say fast enough in a small time frame

[hybrid silo]

Or how about the game actually punishes you for missing and it just breaks? I really don’t understand why everything needs to be so unnecessary complicated in this game. It wouldn’t even address the most bs thing about this shit, which is if you get hit with it then you are instantly dead. Embark thinks the same way, they overcomplicate things and the game is suffering because of it.

[astral topaz]

make the mgl 32 shells explode on direct impact with the enemy

[oblique geyser]

make a arc raiders skin for the finals and I will buy it

[lost patrol]

I second this. I personally find that this season has just been lacklustre. No maps, 2 guns, A subpar battle pass. And no balance changes, which would help excuse the aforementioned issues.

Also revert sword but add the clamp you cowards.

[woeful shoal]

[strong dew]

Why can't I have 69 as my number? Thats my dad's birth year 🙁 I know its funny number but its actually my dad's birth year and I want to honor him

[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.

[icy marsh]

This ^ Balance team ruined the sword

[high moss]

the finals is great and all, but imagine how much better it would be with this in the game 😄
oh and about the balancing, I would really just stop changing stuff. there's no way to build a competitive scene if you keep shaking the foundations it's built upon. just look at something like cs2 where the recoil pattern hasn't changed in a while. not that you can't add content, but try to keep the guns consistent and everything. I think people just have to accept that in almost every fps, eventually a meta will form, and the best thing you can do is either balance the weapons according to skill, or just do you best to make every weapon unique and relatively useful. right now the finals is kind of in that ladder option, and honestly that's not bad, which is why I'm saying for you guys to kind of just slow down on the changes and let the game cement. maybe even work on adding this cool skin to the game 🙂 (i know this game isn't only competitive, but i believe casual player bases will also be benefited if the devs can balance and stabilize the meta so it's possible for every weapon to have it's own unique strategy and use)

[zealous harness]

I dont have the game open rn or access to my pc, but there is a page where you can see the people you recently played with. from there you can report them if need be.

I LOVE this game!

I want to recommend a game mode that fits the finals super well. TDM, but 4 teams of 3. It’s definitely the finals version of TDM. Please make it happen, I will love you forever!

[dark kiln]

Just did a match of world tour, one of my teammates was swapped out to a different team in the second round. Has this happened to anyone before?

[harsh cliff]

The ability to change sight during practice would be good.

[tawny oak]

fix the servers, constant freezing and being locked in place, my end i can look around but when killed and i check the replay i am frozen in place, fix the servers and performance of the game

[fervent coral]

Add in ranked restrictions

[fallen mirage]

I don’t usually feel it necessary to mention the servers being a tad slow from time to time but it has been so apparent over the last few weeks that there’s an obvious and almost continuous issue. It has definitely become more noticeable since the latest destruction update. Speaking of destruction update, although it looks better, I find that the destruction debris is getting in the way of too many shots. IMO the increased interference with line of sight is a negative towards the overall gameplay experience…

[lean bluff]

tell me how is it posible that i'm playing against BrightTrial#7677 and BusinessFame#6904 as my enemys that have been ruby multiple times and are in a 3 stack while i have 2 randoms in my team and one of em is a bronze 4 in my team? (this is solo q) dead game? how do u think the bronze guy is feeling right now? how do u think u are gonna retain players if this is the new player expiriance? THE GUY HAD 22 WINS IN HIS LIVE I QUESS IT'S TIME TO MAKE HIM PLAY VS TOP 500 IN THE WORLD🗿 (we got +348 for placing 4rth vs these guys THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN)

pls fix this issue atleast in the next update @hazy willow

[raven cloud]

You're having the game balance be stuck for two months due to this tournament which is in the interest of maybe 1% of the whole playerbase.
Yes I get that it's a big opportunity to get people back in the game or get new people to try it.
There's a simple fix, pro players should have been given a dedicated client stuck on a specific game version to scrim and train onto, and then the tournament would be held on that version and that's it. In the meanwhile the game would have its usual balance cycle (mid season update never was this disappointing for example) and it wouldn't be as stale as it is now.

[west skiff]

Still begging for a black cat tail

[fading chasm]

Blunderbuss when

[hollow kelp]

personally im really exited for the major but id rather watch a balanced game at the major rather than one in the state its in now. bfr and repeater just create too much ranged poke fights which slow the game down so much and 93r for light is just the only good pick so the meta is getting really stale

[hushed cape]

I dont really mind melee shenanigans and what not, but can we nerf the primaries for both sword and hammer and instead buff the secondary attacks? On both of these weapons, they’re way more skillful instead of the mouse 1 and w spam than sword hammer and every other melee are right now

I dont mind getting outskilled by melee, if someone executes a well timed bonk and i died for it, its like unfortunate go next but if a heavy with a hammer is able to catch up because of the magnetic melee tech and just spam m1 just to kill me it’s honestly just frustrating

Put sword lunge back to where it was but maybe have a longer cooldown on how fast you can do these lunges so its not just shing shing shing shing

[hallow gorge]

Don’t get me wrong. Game is perfect

But why there isn’t separate X and Y SENSITIVITY for Mouse input absolutely no idea.

As a player with a near 2:1 ratio of X:Y it’s near impossible to play on my local platform so have resolved to Controller

Have the balance team gone on early xmas break? Are people truly satisfied with the current balance of the guns and gear in the game?

[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!

There was several balancing patch. And honestly rn the game is pretty balanced. There are just weapons that are more meta than other.

• SOLO QUEUE RANKED SHOULD ONLY MATCH AGAINST SOLO QUEUES INSTEAD OF 3 STACK UNEMPLOYED RUBIES STREAMING ON TWITCH TO THEIR 5 VIEWERS. HOW IN THE WORLD IS THAT AN EVEN PLAYING FIELD?
• WHY WOULD YOU DELAY BALANCE UPDATES FOR THE REST OF YOUR PLAYER BASE BECAUSE OF ESPORTS? ESPORTS PLAYERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO ADAPT. DON'T BE SURPRISED IF THE WINNER IS USING HML COMP WITH 93R, DASH, HEAL BEAM, FAMAS, WINCH, SHAK SO PREDICTABLE AND BORING

Someone is fumbling the ball here. So because of an Tournament no one cares.. or only a small percentage of players actually gets to experiment, no one else gets real game updates. But oh yeah, here take store updates.

So.. in the month that Bf6 and arc raiders comes out you guys decide not to do anything.

Numbers are going down and hardly will go up if this games doesn’t go fun again. Im starting to see overwatch all over the place( stupid healing + mass destruction + requiring team coordination)

Please learn with BF6… casual.. gameplay first.. guns actually kill players.. look at their numbers

Buff Dagger

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

Rework Kyoto entirely or just remove it from the game

Remove cashouts being able to spawn in Monaco forest / remove the forest

that and we are celebrating our 61st FCAR skin for some fucking reason

game balancing is frozen in time until s9 (even though you could just freeze the patch into a separate gamemode but nah let's neglect the live playerbase begging for poke meta and winch nerfs) so the least you could do is distribute skins in a way that makes sense

[runic shale]

I think this game would be insanely badass if you add an INTERRUPTION or GAME MODE where THE ENTIRE MAP FLIPS UPSIDE DOWN OR IS A CONTINUOUS ROTATION THAT INCLUDES A FULL UPSIDE DOWN TIMEFRAME. This would create a constantly changing map to play in as well as the challenge of falling to your death. If in a Cashbox mode the cashbox would stick to surfaces to stop it from falling but not eliminating the idea but respawns back in the basement to prevent the exploitation. You'd have to prepare, fight, or wing the upside down as others shoot at you. This concept works for all the game modes.

[remote loom]

This game would literally never die if the community had a halo forge type game mode where people could create their own custom maps I don’t know exactly how it would be done but that’s just my idea

[hollow sage]

Hey, Team! I wanted to share something with you all as someone who's really been invested in the achievements of The Finals!

I beleive the Quick Play modes should at least reward some money even if you happen to be on the (completely) losing team. Many quick play game mode matches can easily be one-sided and lead to zero earnings because of that. This would be the equivalent of earning 0xp in any other online multiplayer game just because your team got destroyed. In World Tour or Ranked, even if you don't make it to even the second round, you still get all the money you earned during that first round. Having partial rewards or personal money rewards would be nicer than getting $0 just because your team sucks or the other team is too sweaty to handle. For example, in TDM, each team gets $100 per kill. I believe that money should be rewarded to every player on the team regardless of if they win or not.

Appreciate you all!

Spawns on Kyoto are still bad. a team spawned on top of a cashout that wasn't active while I'm standing next to them. Then when myself and my team mate coin an entire team spawns directly behind both of us.

This map is nothing but a stain on ranked and the game as a whole being a constant reminder of the season that nearly killed the damn game.

[unreal zodiac]

musket with bayonet for medium would be awesome and blunderbuss for heavy as well but high ahh damage but make it do a "click hiss bang" not only to make it realistic but to balance it with winch

[shrewd echo]

I have spent hundreds of dollars on in-game content in the finals, I have absolutely 0 regrets. The money I spent help fund the FINEST MASTERPIECE IN THE LAST 15 TO 20 YEARS. Arc Raiders is 100 percent the hottest drop from a video game company, again, in the last 15 to 20 years. It's absolutely amazing what you can do with a team that has knows the history of video games, plays video games, and respects* the feed back from the players. Good fucking game Embark, keep doing this and you will continue to take my money. 👍 👍 The last time I have had this much fun, and continously wanted to keep playing a game with friends was Left 4 Dead... that's a looooooong fucking time. @winged estuary There is no working for free here. Protip: if you don't want to buy the skin, don't.

[unreal fossil]

I've barely touched the game in 3 weeks while I used to play everyday almost religiously for the past couple years (2200 hours since S1).

Reason 1: BF6 came out, and I'm a Battlefield player at heart. This has nothing to do with The Finals. I'm just the type of player who tends to play one game at a time.

Reason 2: this season is the stalest of all, because Embark won't touch the meta until the Major is over. I understand the reasoning behind it, but as others have said before, this is essentially penalizing the entire player base for a minority...

The game isn't terribly balanced as of now, in fact it's never been closer to reaching its original intent of LMH being the staple team comp. But there's still work to be done. I personally won't enjoy playing as much as I have as long as the Winch Claw remains untouched. 9 out of 10 Heavies run that spec, it's a cheesy crutch in fights, even more than the OG Stun Gun was, on top of having unparalleled utility as it's the best tool to move cashouts.

There are weapons/gadgets changes that need to happen, for some because they are too weak to be viable picks, for others because they have been overbuffed (I'm thinking mostly of the 93R which moved to being very weak when released in S2 to a meta staple in S8).

[crisp sequoia]

Fucking fix the ranked system every week I get my self up to plat then lose it becuse of your shit system like you pair me with good people but don’t play my playstyle or my other teammates so we lose and since we’re seed 2 we lose 2k wtf fix your shit

[charred delta]

i played this game over 1k hours now and something has to go next season. its either me or the fucking winch claw! its the most stupid and unbalanced BS i´ve ever seen in a game like this in 20 years! do something with it. delete it, rework it, nerf it to fucking death! ...i can´t stand this BS anymore. and its so overused and its just annoying the shit out of me... its just farming guaranteed free kills with the combination of stuneffect and range (the stuneffect is the biggest problem here and should be removed completely!)... its ridiculous... no other gadget has this free kill potential... not even the stungun was that bad and got nerfed to the ground - yea it was a bit annoying at the beginning but with the amount of nerfes over time not even close as bad as the fucking winch claw is right now. you could bring back recon sense and it wouldnt be worst xDDD ...you can see people through the wall but you would have to work for the kill while the opponent can fight back instead of just pressing the win-button to disarm the enemy and make the free kill possible xD ....this has to stop right now... every day you losing players because of BS like this and its not a big deal to fix it... just fix it
PS: bring back the cerberus and pike because these guns are completely DEAD right now. thx

[shell lotus]

bro i should not have to shoot all of my bullets to get a quick reload for the arn, ts makes no damn sense tf is yall on when yall did that? that not how gun works, if you mag dump you have no bullets in the chamber, and you have to chamber it, if you reload before you dump it you still have a bullet in the chamber making it quick reload, do better with ts bro, ts embarrassing

[radiant harbor]

I'm tired of the griefing as well. We usually get griefed out, but in a few of the rare cases where we've been griefed forwards, we've beat the ruby team in the final round. My friends and I joke that a lot of Ruby teams are only Ruby because they are good at macro in the earlier rounds and abusing the game by griefing, but when it comes to a 1 v 1 they aren't as good.

Right now this is my biggest deterrent to wanting to play the game. It's been fun jumping on BF6 and being able to enjoy a fair match. The Finals ranked never feels fair anymore.

Please fix desync. It is so horrible. I die to someone with less health then me all the time because of it. Upgrade your servers so they can actually handle the destruction and fix canisters and how they interact with the environment. Canisters have become useless because the goo wall forms abnormal unless you throw it perfectly and explosive canisters richocet off the walls. Also add the setting to have a different sensitivity for each weapon. I cant use the same sensitivity for every weapon that i like to use and don't want to constantly change my sens every time i switch guns.

[elfin lichen]

This game is so expansive and amazing and I love seeing all the new players join in on the action. HOWEVER! I also feel as if new players are hurting themselves and others by jumping STRAIGHT into world tour and/or ranked mode.

I propose a gamemode lockout till a certain criteria has met, either it be a level based lock or a challenge based lock for both world tour and ranked. Making new players focus more of exploring and experiencing all the quickplay gamemodes that not only HELP them learn what works best for them but also HELPS them learn how the team dynamics work as well as other fundamentals that the game offers. I understand there is a practice tool and am updated tutorial but this alone can only do so much especially with more advanced movement or strategies that you can only learn from playing gamemodes that you experiment in. This also helps boost a more healthy and competitive atmosphere with all players as we will all have the more understanding of the game and be able to WORK as a team much much easier!!!

Now I understand this is more focused on those that play a lot of solo Que and don’t have people to party up with all the time for help, but this should also help those that are duo que GET a more reliable teammate
I believe locking world tour till level 20-25 and locking ranked to level 30-40 will help encourage new players to grind and learn the game much more than just jumping right into world tour and getting upset over the game that they don’t understand fully, this leads to early leavers, afk abuse, and complete throwing of game for other random teammates that they don’t like playing with. These things can happen cause it HAS and STILL happens to this day.
I don’t expect something to be looked at or to happen with this but I super encourage new players to try out and play more of what quickplay has to offer. I mean just 2 gamemodes they had is practically warmup and learning matches FOR world tour

1. Quick cash helps you understand the basics of the main gamemode, the map layout, how to stick with your team, how to play your loadout, and how to deal with 3rd and 4th parties
2. Showdown is literally just the final round in world tour

[rose oyster]

I just got and trimmed a clip that is a prime example of 3 things (kind of 2) (can’t post it bc of role)

1. Winch Claw
2. Lockbolt
3. Fire

There is no reason you should not be able to GRAPPLE out of a Lockbolt or Winch Claw. NONE. Why play the movement class if the arena control class invalidates your movement?

For Fire: Afterburn does WAAAAYY too much damage. You should not take 25-50 damage for simply EXISTING near fire. It makes 0 sense. Increase the damage it does initially, sure, but the Afterburn is way too much.

Essentially, Nerf Winch Claw.
Do something with Afterburn.

[jaunty vapor]

change riot shield to make damage lowered, not nullified. It's a dumb mechanic
I can completely outplay a riot shield that's third partying me, making him whiff half his melees (which have aim assist) but still lose b.c. the shield is invulnerable
Like that's insane. No other weapon is as toxic

[next lodge]

I only get 75 hours of gameplay a season though. To get that many hours in a season you would have to be playing the finals for three hours and twenty minutes every single day, seems a little unreasonable.

Is there any thought of adding specializations? Or being able to lose a few gadget slots to cusomize the game play?

[craggy sierra]

i might just be bad at the game but the m11 and cl-40 feel a bit too overpowered

[waxen thicket]

you know the game balance is screwed when the 1887 has worse ttk than the cb01 even in close range, and KS23 despite having better ttk than BFR still remains ignored because of it's unreliable range, accuracy and projectile speed.

At this point just give them some headshot multiplier (maybe 10-15%, they're still shotguns after all). You know, make them actually worth using and viable sidegrades over their drastically more popular counterparts.

[cold crystal]

Head Hunter mod is so much fun!

[alpine summit]

I think some weapons could use a small increase in fall off damage to better reward midrange combat. Long range weapons like snipers and marksman rifles should stay effective at distance, but other weapons should start to lose damage more noticeably the farther the target is.

This would make ranged balance feel more realistic and encourage players to engage more in midrange fights rather than poking from far away.

Also, as a Medium main, I feel the Repeater was over buffed it’s performing a bit too well right now and could use a slight adjustment to bring it back in line.

Day 18 of asking Embark to bring back bonus pages from past battle passes

[regal tiger]

Day 5.
I can't open the menu option while i'm in practice range, world tour and ranked. I been facing this issue since the last 7 months i believe. I tried to validate the files in steam, several times restarted i even reinstalled the game and went to practice range to check if the menu pops up or not( when we click Esc , the menu pops up that's what i'm talking about). Nope it's not. It's so frustrating mate. I want this to be fixed that's all. I even created a ticket in the official embark support website and i have sent a feedback. I really want this to be fixed .
I will keep texting this in here and in gamefeedback until they reply

[chrome lichen]

Just had a tdm match where i spawned closer to the enemy team than my own for a whole round. The other day on the same map (Citadel) it happened to someone whose card showed it was his first game. I actually felt bad and stopped killing him towards the end, just ran by pretended i didn't see him. I know it's TDM but odd spawn logic which put's either you or the other team/player at a disadvantage isn't contained to one mode. I honestly don't understand how that is even possible across multiple different modes without it being the product of design choice. I know it's not something that can ever be perfect but sometimes it's straight up terrible. It's like someone looked at what are fundamental aspects for an FPS, circled spawns and proceeded to figure out how to botch it.

[wide creek]

If winch is not removed by next season, I will never be playing the finals again. You have demonstrated that you do not care about your player-base in the slightest.

Nothing can excuse the utter lack of attention to a problem that is HEAVILY complained about in your own feedback channel. You've effectively demoralized the entire light main community, and then spit in our face by disabling yet another one of our useful gadgets.

This is without a doubt the worst meta the game has, and yet 3 seasons go by and NOTHING is done. Why even have a feedback channel if all you're going to do is ignore your ever-dwindling number of players

[ebon isle]

Current ranked system is very rough, what if instead of being thrown out in the 1st round would result you being placed in a losers bracket, where the 4 teams that lost, would fight against eachothers same way as best 4 teams do, winners from the losing bracket also go to 1v1 where it is ultimately decided whos 5th & 6th place. This way the system would be much more fair and eliminates many big losses by being griefed out in 1st round for example.

[torn plaza]

I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks this, but I think there should be more song settings for volume. There are too many unwanted sounds that interfere with hearing the main audio elements, whether it's voices or car horns. It would be cool to be able to adjust this because it can sometimes make the songs inaudible.

What do you think

[sterile canopy]

it would make losing take about as long as winning, so maybe people would like that. It wouldn't be more fair in any sense, only in how longer rounds -> larger sample size of events.
It would slow down how quicky one could climb ranks though, as it doesn't make losing any less damaging, only draws it out for longer.

[stray thunder]

You should be able to block players directly on the summary page not only report.

[solar sail]

Offer ARC RAIDERS players a one time limited raider token / multibuck combo reward (250) for completing 3 matches in THE FINALS, the goal of this would be to utilise the popularity and exposure of ARC to renew some interest in the finals as both games are great.

I keep seeing many players who are new to arc but haven't even heard or looked at the finals, this could be a good opportunity to get some fresh eyes and boost active users

[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.

[karmic sable]

I say this as a heavy main that hates how Lights have super dps & can dash in & out of range until you die, dash is BS, lights 2 & 3 shot weapons are BS. The light class is the most unfun class to fight against & it seems like I would be grateful for any help in catching those annoying little pricks but THE WINCH IS UNFAIR BULLSHT. I feel dirty whenever I use it & angry whenever I'm stopped by it. As a Heavy, I say FCK winch. Remove it.

[quartz ivy]

[cloud gate]

As someone that plays bit of this and that but a slight focus on the goo gun
It is wonderful to finally see the light players crying and whimpering after so so many matches of the little cockroaches dashing in and out of everything, it truly brings me joy.
But, I will say, the winch does hit in some very silly cases where it shouldn't, which might be server lag or whatever causes people to pop into a pile of cash behind corners.
Removing the winch is the exact kinda demand I expected from y'all squirmy little things ❤️
But but, also a fair reminded that the Model shotgun still has a weird, broken feeling reload which really aches as it's otherwise delightful to use

Is it a petty detail, yes, but It’s another little thing that would improve the finals world building and I think that’s something worth doing.

Matchmaking is absolutely horrendous. I was just put with a level 9 and a level 1 whilst I'm level 70. They got 0 kills between them and barely knew how to run around. Not to mention everyone else was on pc. I always get the worst teammates and it just makes me lose the game cuz they don't know how to play properly. Needs a serious fix.

[cobalt kernel]

It's been 5 Seasons! They even went the proper route of nerfing it to 10m range (which was still not enough) 2 Seasons back but then UN-NERFED IT !!!

It literally needs to be nerfed in ALL aspects: range, stun duration (minus 70% minimum!) and pulling you through whole buildings in zig zag pattern without line of sight. The chain should also break if the pulled gets stuck anywhere

Now they given the broken heavy class a pocket sniper that outclasses EVERY other long range weapon in the game, and that is pure damage not even considering the health differences between classes

Dome shield, Lockbolt, Rpg, TWO pyro mines etc.

It's a low skill gadget spamming circus that requiers ZERO skill, but delulu Heavy mains will storm in to vehemently defend their free kill Winch

I have over 1500 hours in this game and tolerated this blatant catering to the low skilled skin collectors and challenge completionists who pretend to be gamers.. But i have enough aswell

If this abomination of an ability, along with heavy class in general doesnt get a big fat nerf i am OUT. And many others will do the same

Edit: Just look at the smugness of the oneliner replies by the heavy clowns, like moths to a flame. These people have absolutely no game sense and clue about balancing, just want their quick fix of free kills in a (sadly) dying game, it's pathetic beyond belief

[quartz coyote]

when is the major balance update?? is it true that the esport aspect of this game is the main reason why the delay for this? we really have to cater/balance the game for the top MINORITY of the finals playerbase? this game needs more casual & newer players btw

[gilded palm]

WHY THE FUCK DOES THROWING KNIVES HAVE INF AMMO

[sharp sigil]

Very popular take, there's so much audio clutter it's wild and if I didn't hear my teammates foot step and the enemies were increased it make the game so so much better. I could care less about the announcer, the audience and anything else making it impossible to hear a heavy right behind me 😭

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈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. Particularly when they dash behind you, otherwise (depending on the situation) it’s a skill issue.
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 nerf sniper, I have always thought that it required a high skill ceiling for it to be good and I just kept running into “good” snipers when in actuality it’s just insanely OP.
Also add goblins to the finals

[orchid osprey]

once again telling devs the netcode and footstep audio is absolute dogshit and ruining the fun in the game

[brazen thorn]

i think game has lost its fun, if ur not playing meta your chance of winning is almost 0, almost everyone plays same meta loadout. Im trying to play off meta heavy with claw and i cant find counter to light + dash, I tried chargen slam, claw, rpg nothing works there is no counter. This game need rebalance

[junior cloud]

if i play the game for a few hours a bug appears where i dont get any sound cues of getting hit and the hit marker that tells u which direction it came from disappears

[hushed cape]

Audio iffy
Melee(hammer, sword, dagger) m1 spam is unskillfull, buff m2 but add a reasonable downside to spamming lunges
Shot behind walls frequently
Auto-weapons meta when, burst is not and will never be healthy as a meta for any game, instantly dying is frustrating and no one enjoys it.

[random pagoda]

• buff dagger backstab window, not to 180 again but like 170 because failstabs happen like 5+ times per game on good players
• add tap to release for dagger strong attack. i dont see a reason not to it just makes the weapon more user friendly, not more broken

[smoky gust]

id rather have it get a flat self damage value in a bigger aoe

that way you cant avoid more than half the self damage by bunny hopping next to someone
(where just higher damage would still be reduced by it, and accidentally hitting a nearby wall/floor gets punished even more)

maybe with a small damage buff for direct hits to slightly make up for it?

Alright fellas hear me out; riot shield is considered to be pretty underwhelming right now

And I get it. We’ve all had our fair share of frustrating games against riot shields.
But honestly, the skill ceiling for them is basically capped at sprinting diagonally — blocking just isn’t worth it. It’s too slow, too clunky, and barely viable most of the time.

So how's this: if I can’t even see my target while I’m partially covered, why not at least let me move at like 90% sprint speed while blocking?
That doesn’t sound too broken, right?

Indeed bro, there's an identity crisis between casual and competitive players, but I think the skill must depend of the players and dedication. Every weapon could be a meta in the right hands

[zealous orchid]

An entire PS lobby full of snipers bro... that's not fair, fun, or engaging for anyone that a) isn't running the exact same loadout or b) farming clips trying to get attention from social media. being able to damage enemies uncontested ONLY because of what weapon u chose is not right. add on top of that the fact that they are the smallest hitbox, highest mobility, lowest visibility- and now you've got a bunch of wannabe's sitting as high up as they can get, head-glitching, preventing the game mode from being played in any capacity. I figured the way powershift was supposed to be played was "a constant battle" not "wipe enemies, push cart a little, and camp their spawn until the timer runs out."

The solution to the winch and dash balancing debate is to have small tweaks to dash and winch but buff the other specs. for ex make it so winch has to have a direct line of sight and if it gets stuck to have the winch break. also revert mesh sheilf back to some of its earlier stages. considering that light is more optimal and glitch played its fair to assume that if mesh were to be brought back from its previous glory it wouldn't be as opressive. an important detail is to also make mesh block winch. people could still get winched through domes but make the mesh a 'stronger shield" that can block a winch. for dash a change thats needed is for dash to cancel actions. similar to mesh or winch once used you cant perform and actions. in order to make this change the dash should recharge faster. with these balancing changes you fix the problem of everyone playing winch because its the only useful spec for heavy and you can fix some of the more frustrating aspects of dash.

[dull tiger]

No one cares about the major enough for it to be worth no balance changes for an entire season

[pliant whale]

matchmaking is still fucking irredeemable garbage and matches are always one-sided

[torpid turtle]

There needs to be transparency on the SBMM system of this game. I now know for a fact it's in casual, because I got a buddy of mine to try it out for the first time. We had some super easy lobbies. But to clarify, it wasn't like these players didn't know what they were doing. It's just most of them seem to not be very experienced with fps games. Obviously I don't want to only play against players like this, it wouldn't be fun if it was too easy. In connection based lobbies (found in the beta), I noticed there was a good mix of skill levels. This was a lot of fun for me and was a breath of fresh air compared to COD. If we're going to have SBMM no matter the game mode, then I'd like to clearly see where I stand so I know how good or bad I am.

[weak valley]

Add interactable ladders like Arc Raiders. I’m sick of getting stuck on them

[hollow kelp]

you've said ur gonna leave so many times so pls just go and stop spamming this useless feedback

[gritty jetty]

Its absolutely vital we nerf already balanced weapons

[fluid oxide]

Please adjust the team ranking in WT. It doesn’t make sense that, for example, an Emerald player can be matched with someone who’s only level 5

[echo panther]

give revolver another sight option where u remove the 2 iron side things so its only the front sight like the repeater

[nocturne tendon]

REMOVE FOG, IT COMPLETELY DISABLES AIM ASSIST!
I'M ALREADY AT MAJOR DISADVANTAGE, AND YOU GIVE US ANOTHER!!
ALSO MAKE SMOKES GIVE YOU A SOLID GREY SCREEN IF YOU'RE STANDING IN IT AND COVER HEALTH BARS AND OUTLINES
THEY ARE IN A CLOUD OF SMOKE AND CAN SOMEHOW SEE ME BUT I CAN'T SEE THEM THEM

[cerulean birch]

Buff the 93r it has too much recoil

[hollow sage]

I think the Light class could use a new specialization. How about a pocket watch they could whip out with a little animation that takes them back in time a few seconds (recall/Tracer Overwatch vibes) while also restoring ammo and health?

[placid stream]

Fix servers and matchmaking, only been asking since S1. Quit the game for around 2+ months now due to these reasons alone and won't be coming back until there is reasonable improvements.

[covert oxide]

The medieval/renaissance map that has been requested for almost a year would be such a welcome addition to the game. A whole season themed on historical Europe would be such an awesome experience, and the sponsors could even be getting “festive” or otherwise involved in the cosmetics to add a subtle uniqueness. The options for diversity would certainly make a lot of players happy about the season

[last saddle]

Botters running rampant, again. Did all the mods get moved to Arc or something?

[full sierra]

after majors you guys better gut the 93r im so sick of fighting that thing every single game

[quartz ivy]

Add Bonus Pages to Legacy Battle Passes. Taking away items from a paid product is inexcusable

FIX THE MATCHMAKING FIX THE MATCHMAKING FIX THE MATCHMAKING FIX THE MATCHMAKING. why am i getting paired with level 20s in ranked?????? its every single game i get some terrible noobs that have no concept of shooting the guy in front of them. im sick of losing matches with over double the kills of both of them combined and waaaaaaaaay too much support score to justify as a light

[dreamy gull]

THE FINALS x ARC Raiders when?

[cold bolt]

stop adding skins to things that already have plenty

with this week's update we are now up to (at least) 61 FCAR skins. SIXTY FUCKING ONE.

There's like a dozen weapons and gadgets that never get any skins because FCAR is eating them all lol

Same thing with "unique" looking skins, why do we have 2 now for both vanish bomb and gas nade? We already had the winter one for vanish and the sauce one for gas. Meanwhile Gateway with none

[marble crest]

Fellas, I'm seeing alot of people with skill issues complaining about balance but honestly it's in a really good spot right now. There are only a few outliers (BFR, Repeater and 93R) but that's only due to the range at which they can output incredibly high damage, once that's reigned in the rest of the sandbox is looking pretty fine with nothing too OP. (Though admittedly weapons like MGL and spear could do with some added strength/rework entirely)

Better matchmaking is a valid request, but mostly for game modes like WT and Ranked Competitive. Server Issues also slightly hamper the overall experience, but it's not unlikely that the devs know this so I won't beat a dead horse there.

I'd love to see some more specialisations added to the game, as we haven't gotten any in quite some time (specifically for light and medium to even out the numbers nicely) and to go with it some extra contestant slots so that we can save a contestant loadout for each spec.

And also accessibility, more customisation for the colourblind settings would be really nice as the current ones don't quite cut it for certain people (me included).

Other than that I'll just say keep cooking, cause you're always bringing out good stuff (especially the music department you guys RULE)

[quartz coyote]

FIX THE AWFUL MATCHMAKING AND BALANCING. otherwise this game will continue to push more players OFF and not get new players IN. i give the finals one more year before the playerbase actually dies. plus this season i have been consistently playing against cracked ranked players in QP. i see their badges when i get eliminated. I DONT PLAY RANKED ITS AWFUL I CANT ENJOY YOUR GAME. and i also get teammates who go negative kd CONSISTENTLY, its just constant LOSS streaks.

[sonic arrow]

Every single melee weapon in the game needs a buff

[gentle halo]

This This and This! My mates and I are very close to quitting with the game… 🥲

For real, pls prioritise the matchmaking! It’s one of the main problems of the game which will kill it! My team and I lost nearly 5k RP today! I felt down from 31k to ~26k. Thats CRAZY. We got paired with diamond players CONSTANTLY. I really don’t get it!

[static vale]

give me a ninth contestent slot so i can have 3 of each class please

[robust cradle]

I love this game!! All i want is the ability to pass the group leader and to be able to see which kockout round were in from the tab menu ❤️

[glacial geyser]

Honestly, the Devs seriously need to put more effort into attracting and then keeping new players.

The current playerbase can argue over which specific class/gadget/weapon is OP or needs nerfing, but there's much larger issues that need to be resolved in order to keep the casual playerbase.

Here are the issues I think need addressing (in order of importance)

1. Damage drop off needs to happen much sooner and should reduce your damage even more drastically at range. New players are instantly turned off from the game the moment they get beamed from across the map. Whether it's a legitimately good player or not, their first thought is "cheater". Honestly, only the sniper rifle should really have that sort of range, everything else should be relegated to mid-ranged combat at best.
2. Fractured playerbase reduces the already small playerbase. I love the other game modes, so this is a really hard issue for me to raise, but when you have so few players you don't want to further segment them amongst multiple game modes.
3. Smurfs have ruined the ranked mode. I've mentioned this a few times (and it admittedly doesn't affect casual players), but the "Challenging" and "Very Challenging" tournaments are easier than the "Easy" tournaments. And because of the way the point system works, you lose more points against smurfs than you would against similar ranked or higher ranked players. I genuinely find it easier to play against players who are higher rank than me... That's just an embarrassment of a ranked system.

[river mist]

Grass grows, sun shines, birds fly and brotha, I hurt people! Imma a Force of Nature!!! If you was from where I was from, you'd be fucking dead!!! WOOOOO!!!

[sonic spoke]

game is so fucked right nwo

[gritty aurora]

FIX WORLD TOUR
Sorry to complain but I'm done being paired with noobs, I've gotten no luck in even qualifying for round 2 so please make it more challenging to unlock ranked/world tour so it makes pros have peace knowing they will be paired with someone the close/same skill level.

[remote zealot]

Sprint should be faster and longer to ads

[covert tapir]

You made a typo embonk

[zinc wolf]

As a certified quick cash warrior I’m here to give the best advice any player could ever give, and my opinion should be taken as more important than any other feedback here

1. Remove the bug where dagger’s heavy attack only deals 75 damage from the front instead of the normal 320
2. Add the random crit system from tf2 where every attack has a 5% or so chance to deal triple damage and have no damage falloff. The game’s supposed to be fun, so why can’t we have fun and silly changes?
3. At the end of every match the guys recording the gameshow should edit the footage to make it more interesting, even if it changes the end result half the time (because comebacks are always entertaining on tv) and have the winning team be decided off of who the developers randomly let win for fun
4. The ks-23 takes too much ammo to break walls, rework it so that every shot infinitely pierces through walls until it either hits someone or leaves the map
   Thanks for implementing all of these changes, as I know that the opinion of a dagger main that only plays quick cash is the most valuable feedback you could have

(Also actual piece of feedback: I think the instant replays are really cool and it would be even cooler if you could make some kind of “play of the game” replay at the end like the one from overwatch)

[hearty vector]

Never agreed more

[main vale]

Embark please listen to this preacher of grace

[wide lichen]

Can we please get a feature where it auto skips to the lowest page in which we have stuff to unlock still in the old battle passes having to click over a bunch of pages of stuff i already have is clunky.

[grand iron]

Fix controller dead zone to zero pls

[leaden tangle]

Since the start of this season, I've tried to enjoy playing, but it's hard to get used to it when there are several factors preventing you from feeling comfortable:

desyncing, smurfs using meta and shooting you across the map, favoritism towards the competitive community, a lack of new content beyond cosmetics, unbalanced weapons, sabotage in ranked matches, win trading (in this case, by the CRU3L clan), the absence of modes that attract and retain new players, strange matchmaking, and the lack of quality-of-life improvements.

My friends have quit, and as much as I try to quit, I also cling to having faith in this game, but honestly, I don't care who wins the Major. I'm bored playing now that I'm alone. I'm too competitive for casual players, but I don't have the technology to compete with the more competitive ones.

[quartz shell]

make ks23 break as an area, like an explosion but so small that makes so you dont need to use 3 bullets instead of the 2 ones

[torpid quarry]

A more social mode like terminal attack would be great, you could even just make head-2-head into a 5v5

[icy marsh]

List of things in ur game that are bad -
Spawn logic
Slow Server tic-rate
Me

[delicate marlin]

head hunts is interesting in theory but in practice it just gives the two winning teams an unbeatable lead and you might as well go afk for the last two mins if your losing

[wide creek]

So its confirmed that theres a heavy main sleeping with the entire dev team right? HHH, MHH, MMH all meta, insane health, shields, winch, lockbolt, 1/3 (or less) TTK time on light than light to heavy.

Anyone who even breaths the notion that heavy isn't OP asf is a detriment to society

Also for the love of god buff V9S, dead weapon cuz outclassed by M11, 93R, DB, even XP most of the time. I should not be FORCED to use a weapon I don't want to use cuz my favorite weapon is dogshit

[waxen thicket]

Here's a quick rundown on some underused weapons and gears and ways to fix their pick rate:

1. Flamethrower and Cerberus: Their base damages are good enough, but burn damage itself is extremely weak. Especially against a Flamethrower, enemies can just engage you head-on even with longer range weapons like ARN-22 or BFR instead and have a sizable chance of still winning the fight. Even Pyro Grenade and Mines are mostly ignored because of their lacking effectiveness compared to so many other items you can take in their stead.

Solution: Make the burn damage stackable, once every second. That will discourage enemies from fighting while burning.

2. KS23 and 1887:

Very good DPS, but ttk is abysmal against basically every other weapons. Unlike BFR or CB01 who can drastically improve the ttk with just one headshot and thus get rewarded for their precision, there is no such thing for their weaker shotgun counterparts.

Solution: Add a 15% headshot bonus to them all, so that they can still function as long-ranged shotguns.

3. Sniper Rifle and Pike's performances are held back by their scopes, making their too rigid and unable to accept surroundings.

Solution: Add some short-range scopes for them.

[zealous schooner]

game needs input based matchmaking or all your console players and controller PC players (about 3/4 of the playerbase by the way) is all gonna leave. other people have complained about the matchmaking as of very recent in here, it needs fixing and what is the point of the Crossplay toggle IF XBOX NOW HAS KBM SUPPORT

[jovial viper]

This game is so jank. I hate that it just keeps getting worse, please fix all these small bugs. Individually they’re fine but when i’m seeing so many of them almost every match it kills my enjoyment.

Just to name a few:

-Gadgets (mostly grenades/dome shield) occasionally deciding to despawn on use
-inputs not registering
-things happening without me inputting anything
-Controller being suddenly rejected on pc mid-match (doesn’t happen on any other game)
-sliding backwards when non-sprint crouching, which i’ve never been able to recreate intentionally but it has killed me more than once
-dying around corners
-getting hit by melee from several feet out of their range
-shooting a riot shield user in the skin but getting my shots deflected anyway

please I want to keep enjoying this game forever but almost every match has some weird shit happen and its not fun to deal with

[verbal kayak]

First seed due to level 20 smurfs and they're stomping and driving down the RS we get... when is this going to change?

[plain jacinth]

Ranked mode is heavily affected by smurfs and cheaters boosting. One improvement could be restricting ranked party access(duos/trios) to accounts with at least 300 hours of playtime. Accounts under 300 are free to play solo. Additionally, a separate solo queue would help create a more authentic and balanced competitive experience.

Ranked Solo Queue bonus: all games are "Challenging" low loss, high gain if you win. because solo is unforgiving but the gamble is addicting

[midnight aurora]

light smgs being able to beam across the map is complete bullshit

[slender dock]

Dear devs can you check connection to the game server before starting the matchmaking??? if i can't connect to the game why will you let me start matching? this is completely a trap to ruin a player's day and i really don't know why and how the matchmaking server and game server is separated with different network accessbility, this is really annoying.

[stone aurora]

Please give us a Holo Sight for the Sledgehammer and Riot Shield. Any other melees getting sights would break the balance though.

oce is dead outside of qc, this needs to be fixed asap

[dusky pasture]

Can the quick play matchmaking having another update?
it is way too often playing with high ranked player
At least make sure every teams' skill have proper balance
A team filled with diamond ranked and the other just have bronze or silver is definitely not a normal matchmaking

[real scroll]

Can we please stop spawning teams 50 meters from the cashout that is about to be active. It is so annoying when I put the cashbox in and a team just spawn right next to it and instantly steals it.

[cinder elm]

I agree on damage drop off. For example, there's no way heavy's Titan should be able to kill me as medium with two shots across the map.

THE MORE CONSOLE PLAYERS IN THE MATCH THE MORE ISSUES PC HAS, CONSOLE NEVER AFFECTED BY SERVER ERROR OR LATENCY ERROR ICONS, HOW IS THIS FAIR MM WHEN ONE PLATFORM HAS ISSUES WITH PERFORMANCE, DMAAGE, HIT REG WHILE ANOTHER DOESNT

FIX THE FUCKING GAME

[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.

[gritty jetty]

Hate this ass game every time i play someone trash talk making me uninstal the game and the matchmaking is takig my braincells like every single game there is light beaming the shit out of me in second

[mental delta]

Just finished a round of World Tour, Knockout 1. Before the game even started, a guy got removed for "Fair Play" reasons. He then continued to reconnect and disconnect several times throughout the match. Why not just find a replacement if the game hasn't started? Also, did you not tell the guy his account is punished or something? How was he able to reconnect so many times?

[night bough]

Guys, you can only do so much with the new matchmaking... It lowkey is worse than before.
It's either this, or I end up with a 1/12 with diamonds and rubies all over the place.

[neon gale]

hey yooo heal me bro

[cobalt kernel]

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

BACK

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

Instead of necessary balance changes you bombard us with: Girly costumes, dancing emojis and Clown masks?? I literally feel made fun of as a player...

Killed by a lvl 25 Smurf, he becomes the MVP of the match using meta without missing a shot in the head.

Nobody has high stats as a rookie, less knows positioning, plays the objective and uses the actual meta (CB-01 Repeater+Defib and Healer).

Seriously Embark, you need to do something with matchmaking.

[weak ivy]

can I please stop fighting ruby three stacks? I'm plat 4. I will never get to Diamond if I'm getting dunked on by ruby 3 stacks all day long. Here are my suggestions:

1. Diamond+ queue: If you're 40k+ RS, then you have a separate queue from everyone else.
2. Ruby 2 stack limit: If you're in ruby (or some other high threshold, 45k maybe) you can only group with one other person when queuing for comp.

Please Embark. Losing over and over to ruby players is killing my interest in the game.

[glacial geyser]

If I remember correctly, Plat 4 is something like top 10k players worldwide...
And there's only ever roughly 20k active players actually playing at any point during the day.

This game simply does not have enough players to have a healthy ranked system.

Which leads to matches with ruby players where low ranked players get points even if they place 8th...
And it also leads to plenty of smurf accounts, which has ruined ranked mode for everyone else.

Literally, the challenging and very challenging matches are easier than "easy" matches due to smurfs.

Embark need to work on attracting and keeping new players, while also cracking down heavily on smurfs... Or more people will just leave 🙁

[heady lion]

Server status is terrible unlike ever before. I can't even move as intended while my system is unchanged at all. I know you guys are busy taking care of Arc Raiders but come on...

Nerf SH1900 reload speed, fire rate, spread and range, nerf SR-84 the same way as pike so it's a last resort to hipfire at close range as opposed to a legitimate playstyle, remove frontstab backstab exploit from Dagger, nerf SR-84 damage to 109 and increase hipfire bloom by 200%(it is unfair to Light), Nerf Throwing Knives speed or damage and add a cooldown or ammo count to it, make it so using Evasive Dash resets its cooldown (effectively negating Evasive Dash chains) or decrease its capacity to 2 and finally, remove Winch Claw from the game

Force crossplay when crossplay is on. You should NOT be in a crossplay off lobby if your setting is crossplay on.

Stop backlogging players into quick play matches that are within 10 seconds of a loss.

Add a feature to report entire Clubs.

Fix the bug that prevents console players from doing anything in the main menu.

Remove the 20 seconds respawn timer from reconnecting players.

[sick pier]

numbers tanked this season imo because no new map or gadgets or specs

[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.

[round isle]

Would be cool if you expanded on player cards. A card could contain full player stats and accolades or whatever. After a match you could view a players full card and collect it if you like. You could also “mint” cards for special events like esports. Maybe use you freecam and recently added replay function to allow players to take pictures of themselves in action for their card instead of the basic emotes? I think a lot of your skins would look very nice on cards as well. This would be a good way to encourage community engagement with each other, as adding friends or clubs doesn’t really work to well.

@primal sphinx I agree with you, there should be a roll or similar. Just like arc raiders, double tap slide. Or just put it in the menu and let us figure out the buttons. We could be having a lot more zany fun with some movement options.

@jovial viper dude you’re lagging on wifi

Love the game btw. Gets better every time I play it!

[sweet night]

I have idea! add something like: Destroy The Base (GameMode)

AI vs Humans: Humans must defend a target called the "life station" it has like 100k hp or so, while AI try to destroy it by hitting it. AI attack, humans defend. When human dies, human can respawn but have a limited number of respawns like 10 per person or so. AI have unlimited respawns. The match lasts 3+ minutes or 8+; if humans successfully defend for the full time, they win. If the AI destroys the (base) life station, they win. The end. Or:
**
Next round, humans attack AI nest:
and then: AI defend, humans attack the base. 4rounds in total or so.
(make those destroyable bases by how the dome shields work, just reskin it , make it non passable through and add more hp to it like 100k or so.)
--- (AI could be bots or other human players idk)

And other things would be nice like: social district where players can have meetups to just hangout and chill, and 3rd person mode mode like in arc raiders, and drones like in the arc raiders would be cool too.

FEEDBACK: FIX YOUR FUCKING GAME! Powershift has had a literal game-breaking bug where it assigns losses when you won for OVER A WEEK! HOW ABOUT MAKE YOUR GAME FUNCTION CORRECTLY BEFORE PROMOTING ESPORTS?! HUH?!

[runic shard]

Since the "Welcome to Season 7" article on your official website states exclusively: "Legacy Passes don't include Multibucks or Bonus Pages," could you clarify whether future legacy passes (starting with the Season 7 one and beyond) will also include Ultimate Rewards and Elite Skins, or will there be an additional, more expensive, purchase option for legacy passes with Elite Skins? The point is strangely unclear; I would like an official answer.

[hybrid oracle]

Day 20 of asking Embark to bring back bonus pages from past battle passes

[obsidian zenith]

Trust me Embark, nobody cares about the seeding apart from the actual teams or you guys. The game is dying and all I can see is that the game is broken and unbalanced. Implement server-based connections - where what happens depends on the better connection, this would fix 99.9999% of corner kills, overwatch has this -, take bursts out of the meta, winch is still as obnoxious as it was last season. Let's not get started on matchmaking and performance. Ask anyone and you will see that both are 6 feet below. We do not care about e-sports, we care about QoL in-game. If you don't have the player base who are willing to buy things, you can release all the expensive things you want, nobody will be there to buy it.

[faint saddle]

Quit asking, they wont
Bonus page is the only form of FOMO content in the BP and is supposed to be somwhat limited

[gentle halo]

Please prioritise improving the matchmaking system!
It’s currently one of the biggest issues in the game and could seriously hurt the player experience long-term. My team and I lost nearly 5k RP yestetday because we were constantly matched with Diamond players. That feels really unfair and frustrating. Something seems off with the current balance.

[gentle ridge]

I would also like to ask if a chicken/rooster mask could be added into the game.

[gritty jetty]

Buff model reload
Buff dagger
Buff dual blades
Nerf flamethrower
Nerf winch
Buff Lewis gun
Buff sledgehammer
Add an option to use old menu backgrounds like how you use the jukebox

[misty jasper]

yup. lowkey not coming back until they fix the fucking sword that they gutted for their dog shit streamer boy appoh

[novel trench]

Good riddance

[safe zenith]

nerf or get rid of dagger, no real reason to keep it in the game tbh

[wide creek]

Remove BFR, and remove whoever thought of it from employment
Remove Winch
Nerf 93R RIGHT FUCKING NOW ITS A CANCER
Buff V9S fire rate
Nerf Flame
Buff Invis so its ACTUALLY invis

STOP CARING MORE ABOUT THE FUCKING MAJORS THAN YOUR ENTIRE PLAYERBASE YOU PIECES OF SHIT

Ive been with this game for 2 years now. Most of the balancing is fine. However... you need to show love to the shotguns, the melee needs help BADLY, and we have yet another poke weapon meta you guys caused by killing other playstyles and buffing the other poke weapons which were fine. Stop it with the Esports, and using it as an excuse to do nothing the whole season. WE. DO. NOT. CARE. You guys do not need Esports. You dont need a fresh new mode. You just need to make the game tolerable to play.

All of this is said out of love for the game. You guys are just betraying the players to make money off of these Esports skins and tournaments.

WE. DO NOT. CARE.

S8: WROST #MATCHMAKING EVER!

Every #matchmaking i play im matching with a very LOWER // newer // starting players...

HOW THIS TERRIBLE MATCHMAKING works??

Im almost loosing my sanity playing like this!!!

I play this game since S1 and, i never had a worst experience like this!!

THE FINALS NEED URGENT A REVIEW AND BALANCE THIS MATCHMAKING!!

PS.: This is my WT experience im talking.

Has anyone mentioned making thermal vision into a thermal drone?? It could be great for getting info but at the cost of one light player sitting still and not able to engage in combat. The deploy and ending animation could be long to offset ambush capabilities. This imo would be a great addition to the game and make thermal vision balanced

[chrome lichen]

been like that since season 1 iirc. While on the social thing, block should actually block people, not just mute them. Just change it to a mute button, the framework is already there. I believe quite a few multiplayer games implement this (block) as a minimum for protection. If your gonna have all the streamer stuff baked in why not like give them or hell, any person, the bare minimum of protection that should be expected and block someone. There's already a lack of chat and censorship, if this is in pursuit of less toxicity, than i don't see how this is overlooked.

totally forgot they added permabans a little while ago, good job on that, dk if it's IP but it's something.👍

[tropic drift]

Alright fellas hear me out; riot shield is considered to be pretty underwhelming right now

And I get it. We’ve all had our fair share of frustrating games against riot shields.
But honestly, the skill ceiling for them is basically capped at sprinting diagonally — blocking just isn’t worth it. It’s too slow, too clunky, and barely viable most of the time.

So how's this: if I can’t even see my target while I’m partially covered, why not at least let me move at like 90% sprint speed while blocking?
That doesn’t sound too broken, right?

[mellow plover]

Can you please change the tunnels on Nazomi Citadel they make my eyes hurt on high graphics thank you

[twin oriole]

i have the solution for last cashout griefing:
when the last vault doubles, the team that is first place leaves the arena and become spectators. the last cashout thus basically becomes a quick cash between the other three teams.
this way it is still best tactic for 1st and last team to double the vaults, but there is no more griefing since 1st team is already out.
You can make a nice effect for it and an achievment maybe. Also make it only for competitive so nobody gets hurt.

[rocky comet]

that's a good idea actually

[maiden rover]

in ranked you are disconnected; you reconnect right after and still you got a penalty; It makes abosultely no sense, especially when you crash because of the game. You play 40mn win the game and still you lose 1k. You should really rethink the calculation

[keen karma]

great idea fam!

• NERF 93R - IT'S CLEARLY THE MOST OVERPOWERED LIGHT WEAPON, I PICK IT UP FOR FUN AND DROP A 40 BOMB
• FIX RANKED GRIEFING - RUBIES ALWAYS PICK THE WORST TEAM TO QUALIFY IN THE SECOND ROUND. WHAT'S THE POINT OF GETTING 2 CASHOUTS IN THE BEGINNING ONLY FOR YOU TO GET LAST PLACE? WHAT A STUPID SYSTEM. MAYBE LAST WAVE OF VAULTS SHOULD BE 1 INSTEAD OF 2? I'M SURE THE EMBARK DEVS CAN THINK OF SOMETHING BETTER!!!!!
• SOLO QUEUE RANKED SHOULD ONLY MATCH AGAINST SOLO QUEUES INSTEAD OF 3 STACK UNEMPLOYED RUBIES STREAMING ON TWITCH TO THEIR 2 VIEWERS. HOW IN THE WORLD IS THAT AN EVEN PLAYING FIELD?
• WHY WOULD YOU DELAY BALANCE UPDATES FOR THE REST OF YOUR PLAYER BASE BECAUSE OF ESPORTS? ESPORTS PLAYERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO ADAPT. DON'T BE SURPRISED IF THE WINNER IS HML WITH 93R, DASH, HEAL, FAMAS, WINCH, SHAK. SO PREDICTABLE AND BORING!!!!!
• REVERT SMOKE NERFS, SMOKE IS LITERALLY USELESS NOW, FEELS LIKE 3 SECS AND ITS GONE
• FIRST ROUND RANK LOSS SHOULD NEVER BE -1600 RS, YOU DON'T RESPECT THE PLAYERS TIME WITH A SUPER PUNISHING RANK SYSTEM LIKE THAT, FEW DAYS OF PROGRESS GONE IN 10 MINUTES, THATS WHY EVERYONE WANTS TO QUIT RANK. THERE NEEDS TO BE A LOSS CAP OR TEMP FORGIVENESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hasty hinge]

Can there be a game mode without "Snipers"? I find that when my friends and I play, it really ruins the experience when we are constantly being killed by someone we cant even reach. In my personal experience, powershift becomes almost completely unplayable as a Heavy when there are snipers because I feel all I can do is constantly die. I love this game so much and it is a source of great enjoyment, but snipers really ruin the experience for me.

[lucid smelt]

we need a battlefield like mode (16v16 or 24 v24)

[daring remnant]

in a world tour there will be like 8 heavies amd 3 will be on flamethrower. I think it needs a rebalance and maybe some other weapons should be buffed. maybe ks?

[slate lagoon]

maybe fix your servers before bringing new mechanics into the game. lost RS due to not being able to move at all in the final round of world tour. didnt start at all until the first fight over the cashbox where we were defending and then all of a sudden, couldnt move at all

That's because a big chunk of the THE FINALS playerbase (+6K and dropping) are currently playing ARC Raiders.
THE FINALS
https://steamcharts.com/app/2073850#3m

ARC Raiders
https://steamcharts.com/app/1808500#3m

Its also one of the reasons you've likely noticed more annoying, toxic, and cheesy loadouts by low-skill players as of late in THE FINALS.

The best thing the THE FINALS devs can do is take a hint from ARC Raiders and knock off the annoying, toxic, and cheesy game designs.

[wooden atlas]

As trite as it sounds by this point, winch claw just has to go. It is by design the most overpowered thing in this game—that is, a free kill button. You can’t fight it except by being far away from it—which in turn means that you’re not allowed to play melee or shotguns when a winch-claw player is in the lobby. This is unjust to players of said weapons and further encourages a stale ranged meta. There is no way to “get better” than someone using a device that lets them kill you for free. So please remove winch claw. I don’t even think a rework can save it from its current state of blatant overpoweredness. It just needs to go.

[twilit sand]

The grand major is going to be completely ruined by cashout. It's a terrible format for spectators and is simply too random to be considered competitive. It should be 3v3s only.

[icy marsh]

The major will be an actual joke. This game has 0 competitive integrity, flawed design, low quality video / casting production (at least judging the closed) There aren’t even that many exceptional players. I play against “pros” in 31k elo. Watch it not even be on LAN

[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.

[nova mica]

I don’t like Embark. I really don’t. They have made two games that are so insanely good I can’t pick between them.

I’m addicted to arc raiders but I still want The Finals.

I vote for embark to be shut down because all my free time goes to them.

Fr Embark, I love yall. The only game company making games I want to play.

Congrats with both successful games, W

[wide creek]

So lets recap my last month on the Finals as a light:

1/3 of all my deaths are Winch or Lockbolt related, maybe more

High Plat lobbies have nothing but Revolver and Repeater Mediums

Flame heavies kill me in every encounter, BFR heavies either two tap me instantly OR hit me once and suddenly I'm a 0.1 TTK kill

93R melts me before I can even react sometimes, even beats M11 in close encounters often

Long range weapons (Revolver, Repeater, BFR) somehow will outclass me using V9S or M11 (both close range weapons), at least 60% of the time at <4 meters

Healing now makes my already high TTK on heavies an impossible task

And, let me reiterate this again, Heavies at 1/3 health have the confidence with winch to CHASE a full health light

IF YOU DO NOT OVERHAUL YOUR UNBALENCED GAME, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR ALREADY SMALL PLAYERBASE. WE DON'T CARE ABOUT ESPORTS, WE CARE ABOUT HAVING AN ENJOYABLE GAME

[rose oyster]

I gotta ask out of curiosity, what platform are you on? Because this is pretty much what I experience on Xbox (except I don’t play ranked bc none of my friends play and I just don’t have the time).

Heavy: Winch and Lockbolt are insane free kills with no (realistic!) counters, Flamethrower does a shit ton of damage (especially with afterburn), and you realistically only see Flamethrower, BFR, or the occasional sledgehammer (in pubs ofc)

Medium: FCAR and AKM have kinda nutty recoil now (compared to when I last played before this) and the FAMAS is a laser beam. So I only end up seeing Repeater or FAMAS, though I did have 2 Revolver users earlier today. Also for some reason a lot of random Mediums just… don’t run heal beam?

Light: Invisibility is useless, Grapple is decent at best, making Evasive Dash the only realistic choice for a lot of players. By which I mean out of all the Lights I’ve seen recently, I’m the only one using Grapple.
90% of the time they’re either using the SR-84 or the M11, with the very occasional 93R (on teammates, never enemies for some reason) or very rarely Throwing Knives. Everything else is in the trash rn it seems. (Though I’ve been having fun with Grapple SH1900, despite the awful hit reg with the thing recently)

I’d like to play more, but between the stale (broken) Heavy meta (again), the XIM users on Xbox (I’m talking aim snapping only a mouse can do in a point blank dash fight with snipers, and cross-mapping with an M11), and the server issues, it’s getting kind of hard to justify it.

[unreal zodiac]

[delicate marlin]

How did you feel about the goblin v human mode they added

[hybrid oracle]

Day 21 of asking Embark to bring back bonus pages from past battle passes

[bold maple]

I'd like to suggest a change to both the flamethrower and minigun. Whether it is a skill issue or not, I have found these 2 weapons the most oppressive weapons the heavy possesses. I understand that fighting heavies are intended to be difficult as a light, but it doesn't mean it switching to a different class or gun that I'm not proficient with should be the solution. While playing medium I feel as though I have no way to fight back reliably against either.
The flamethrowers range feels way to big compared to its visuals, and the damage feels way too high for the apparent skill requirement. When playing as a light, if you are not aware of a heavy with a flamethrower, you have almost no chance to react and get away with your life from the range, damage, and burn duration. If you are a medium, you can struggle quite a bit to outrun a heavy with its range.
The minigun feels as though it spins up far to fast for how strong it is at medium range. Considering it's headshot multiplier it feels like smaller characters almost die unfairly fast if you hit multiple headshots.
My suggestion is this, try to transition from flat damage into percentage damage, this way lights and mediums have a slightly longer window to react and escape, and so that heavies will still be vulnerable to both weapons without sacrificing its strengths on the other classes.

[wide vortex]

Still havent updated the game as you cant figure out the balance. All my friends moved on from finals and it seems like im on the same path. REMOVE THE WINCH.

Ps. Some of my friends are playing arc rider, but i definately wont buy it until i see you can fix your games. Otherwise you just ruin arc rider as well

hi✋ . iould like to enquire WHY THE FUCK DOES A ROCKET AOE TAKE AWAY MORE THAN 50-60 PERCEN TOF MY HP AN DIN MOST CASES WAY MORE IT SNOT EVEN A MAIN GUN

[sterile canopy]

Because you're a light, and it deals fairly high damage because it is slow to draw, slow to aim, single shot, has very high self-damage and is slow to recharge. It has burst damage and destruction but using it in conjunction with a gun is slower than just killing you with the gun.

[steady kindle]

excatly my thoughts plus if your on light you can two tap a heavy with db faster than he can rpg you

[strange matrix]

Add crop tops

[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.

[karmic sable]

Embark, you know that most players aren't streamers, aren't pro & just want to have a good time gaming right? The game is falling apart rn. You fck off for the majors, you fck off to launch another game & to be sure that you cannibalize your own player base... You do things like send the finals players a message in game telling us we'll get a cosmetic if we play arc. Winch claw is BS. Dash is BS. Matchmaking is STILL bs. So many bugs that it's not funny. No new map. 2 weapons that everyone hates to fight against. 2 missing events in every stop of WT. Season 8 = worst season yet. Even the players in the qualifiers are typing in game "bug ruined us" "this game is ass" I think embark is tired of their own game & that's making players feel the same.

[upper citrus]

remove winch claw

[cobalt kernel]

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??

We told you this in the feedback MONTHS in advance to the qualifiers with more than enough time left to not shake up the tourney while ongoing.. now you are forced to wait until it's concluded.. 6 months wasted

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

BACK

BANK IT

Been playing the Finals since beta, but have not touched in like 4 weeks and you can clearly see the players numbers tanking hard this season because you REFUSE TO ACT

Instead of necessary balance changes you bombard us with: Girly costumes, dancing emojis and Clown masks?? I literally feel made fun of as a player...

[barren hornet]

CONSOLE ONLY CROSSPLAY? 🗣️

[mental delta]

In the recent community stream, Rob mentioned the eSports bundles will remain in the shop until the qualifiers for the 2026 major. I may be extrapolating a conclusion pretty far from what you guys have planned, but if this means what I think it means… please don’t.

“Well, what do you surmise from this?” This gives me the impression that next year’s fall season (S12) will also be themed around the grand major tournament of its year, 2026, and perhaps the same will be true of years beyond.

Do I think this will actually be the case? 60 no, 40 yes. I understand the finals is literally a game show where contestants compete for money but having 3 months of the year where balance changes are basically not allowed to happen on principle is not a good idea. I’m hoping this will be the only time this happens in the game’s history because when you go this long without addressing problematic areas of game balance, it wears patience thin. People will go play something else if they’re not having fun.

[teal minnow]

you do know that the so called "pros" you talking about are not actual pros ,theyre just in the clan of the esport team. If you would take your time to check the real username of the pro players then you would know it's not them
