#

After 9 seasons, how have lights only become worse to go against? It's rare at this point when playing casual that I go against anyone other than light. When I do, it's usually two lights and one medium or heavy.

Going against the M11, sword, and now the V9S is just an instant death sentence, with a TTK faster than that of Call of Duty. Dash makes them able to have the most survivibility of any class.

It boggles my mind that this game is so close to perfect, yet I still find 90% of matches to be more frustrating than fun because I, as a heavy, get instantly deleted by 3 lights in every match of Head2Head, and they win purely through team wipes and giving us no chance to even touch the cashout.

Please, re-balance light.

My ideas:

  • Dash should not have charges. It should be one charge with a shorter cooldown.
  • M11 should have less recoil, less range, and less damage. It should be made easier to use by lowering the recoil, but also do substantially less damage than it does currently.
  • Revert V9S. It was good for using and going against before.
  • Sword should not have a dedicated dash.
  • Invisibility should be brought back to.. being even remotely useful. I personally never had an issue going against lights with cloaking device, but now, even while they're standing perfectly still, they're easy to spot. Because of this, dash is the only viable specialization, and at least 95% of all lights I go against are using dash, making it extremely repetitive.

can we actually nerf the important things that make bfr a busted weapon (aka the damage/falloff) this "fire rate nerf" barely did anything to it, and it's not changing the actual issue with the weapon which is the fact that the 350 hp class has a pocket sniper that can just chunk your health away from across buildings. let alone 2 shot lights from extremely far. and i say this with heavy being my most played class

Does everyone know about the exploit where the objective in Point Break can be stolen through the barricade hovercraft glitch and moved into defender's spawn, making it impossible for attackers to destroy? My team just did that, and it was obnoxious. Made the game last way longer than it should have.

#

I’m really loving Point Break, but it’s sooo attacker-sided. Please let the defenders secure objectives faster and make them take longer to destroy. At this point, if a vault is armed and guarded by a halfway competent team, you may as well write it off as a loss since you won’t have time to steal it back

Edit: also add a time limit. It would give the defenders a much more achievable win condition

Neither of those need nerfed. Charge n slam doesn't resonably do enough damage to make it a pain, and wench claw is not only difficult to aim but can easily be dodged. Dash is an instant teleport that can even move through players and has 3 charges. Same as most things are with light, it's not balanced. You can easily break someones tracking of you by dashing, can dash through someone and hit them, and can use it to prevent melee from medium and heavy by just dashing away. Reduce the charges to 2, make it so it won't dash through players, and it should be still keep some use yet be balanced

Please tell me how winch claw can be dodged? You can’t tell when someone is going to use it, it STILL stuns you and longer than the wincher so you just get winched + free killed if they are using a shak or SA or BFR or any weapon if you are not using dash or goo and the heavy can’t aim. If not you’ve already been pulled into their team most likely so you’re already dead. Oh and it still pulls you through walls and around corners, just now if you are a heavy you can block it with a mesh.

The Heavy class is so powerful and hand held this season that any heavy complaining about dash still is a joke and just needs to practice aiming or play medium CL40 until they are more comfortable tracking and counting to 3. It is only used so much as the other specs are lacking at the moment. The V9S however does need toning down.

This game takes so many hours to become decent at, and so many people just can’t handle that they are not as good as they think they are yet.

I just wanted to pitch the idea of making a hardcore mode option in the matchmaking for all modes which lets you play like season 1 with the nukes and the season 1 mesh shield.
I also want to say that I've been playing and hunting since season 1 and I just really miss the old days. I would love to see it again if you can

genuinely half of your game changes make zero sense. zero reason a flamethrower should be able to shoot through the floor.

Hello Embark,

It's been 739 days - 2 years, 8 days - since The Finals was released, and we're already in Season 9. Thank you for this game, I love it and have been playing since the beta.

Now, I'd like to ask you the following: when is the team behind the matchmaking system coming back from vacation? As I said, it's been 739 days, I think that's enough time for a good vacation. If that's not the case, I'd be incredibly worried because they've most likely watched the entire Netflix catalog 700 times instead of improving the matchmaking, which is currently the most unfair thing seen in the gaming industry. Matchups where teams of 3 are Ruby, or are esports players (professionals), or Diamond players trying to reach Ruby are being pitted against casual players, people in solo queue, or people who are simply in Bronze, Gold, or Platinum 4... all these people are constantly suffering a frustrating gaming experience because of this type of matchmaking.

I think we all deserve a better matchmaking system, from the most experienced players to those with a medium, casual skill level or solo players/queues.

That being said, thank you for everything, but it's been 739 days and things are still the same, and seeing the current player base and the future, all of this will reach an unsustainable situation.

Why has dash been not nurfed yet I don’t know, before fcar, akm and famas were good enough to counter the high skilled light players. Now the only heavy can count him that’s also hard very hard. The pre nerf medium weapons and demat were good enough to counter lights now it’s hard. Either you should buff weapons or give more movement to medium zip line and jumped. so medium and heavy can counter the lights movement or nerf lights dash.

With the large maps we have, how would one thing of a large scale TDM mode without all the barriers?

Though in hindsight, catching up would be a nightmare if one team dominates. A reason why the current mode works so well with the rounds.

Just a thought, another game mode with large teams using the entirety of a map.

Honestly I hate how lights spam sword primary attack it's too easy and needs no skill.

U Devs can make sword like it was in Season 3 when u needed to use the lunge,since super dash was the real problem now it's fixed!!!

We still need multihit but cap the rotation at 190° since some players abuse multihit to do a 360 attack on one player.

U can later nerf it to 160° rotation if needed.

Without lunge being the main focus the sword isn't as exciting.

Lunge damage should be 140 like before.

Also make the dagger 180° hitbox again cause the high end players with perfect internet r still good with the nerfed dagger

If all sponsor tracks are now available to all players then there’s no reason bonus pages shouldn’t be brought back. You say they were kept away for the sake of having something exclusive to the season (as if LTMs and their rewards weren’t enough) but missing out on 1500 multibucks just because you didn’t play that season is already a pretty big fomo.

Also please add way more KS-23 skins, preferably sponsor oriented (Ospuze and Volpe are right there) or skins that are mostly one color (like the VAIIYA one)

Objective: (a) raise the stakes for a handful of matches each season; (b) give players something special to talk about each week.

  • Each season: 13 weeks; 26 unique single-map sponsored events; up to 3 Cashout tournaments per event.
  • Mon-Thurs: Players queue up to 3 times for a Cashout tournament specifically tied to the first sponsored event of the week.
  • Fri-Sun: Players can do the same for the second single-map event of the week.
  • An optimized matchmaking algorithm to balance matchups the best as possible for these special tournaments, potentially taking a bit longer to match but that players should be willing to wait a bit longer than usual for.
  • No special rules, alterations or limitations to the standard Cashout tournament format. No special theming or cosmetics, just the sponsor's name and the map associated with the event (e.g., the Volpe Las Vegas Classic).
  • For each of the 3 tournaments a player can play toward each event, players score points toward their season totals as follows: 7/8, 0 pts; 5/6, 2 pts; 3/4, 5 pts; 2nd, 10 pts; 1st, 20 pts. 20 x 3 = max 60 pts per event and max 1,560 pts per season.
  • Similar format but different scoring for the same unique sponsored events for other game modes (e.g., 5 power shift matches in each event window, winner gets 12 pts per win, losers get 0 pts).
  • Like leaderboards, each game mode gets its own season totals (e.g., a player could score a max 1,560 pts in the Cashout season and separately score a max of 1,560 pts in the Power Shift season).
  • No feeling of grinding. The dedicated map feels special for each event. Weaker players can take pride in each point they earn. Stronger players have high stakes in that each win or loss is permanent in their record that season and can't be made up for. Players can talk about how they did in each event specifically that week.
  • Some UI and backend work required, but each tournament in an event is ordinary except for the special name and importance attached.

Serious feedback on Sword

I played Sword for about 1000h (hit rank 90 with it before) and a few things get lost in the heated "Sword is overpowered/unplayable" discussion.

First of all both sides need to be understood where they are coming from.

Yes in a casual lobby where people don't hit the important shots a Sword that is just running around and left clicking people to death seems absurd, overpowered and has little to do with skill expression.

The Problem is as soon as you cross the line of people investing enough time to hit even just a moderate amount of their shots left clicks become less and less viable and you have to learn combos and movement tricks to minimize the damage you take while maximizing the damage output. That's where the sword lunge comes in. Lunging is the part where skill expression shows with movement, spacial awareness and positioning. With reducing the damage AND introducing a rotation clamp the lunge becomes really clunky to use and less effective than the simpler M1 spamm.

So what can Embark do to fix the issue for both sides ? Put the focus of the weapon back on the lunge to reduce frustrating scenarios.

Second Problem, lunging through an entire team and dealing massive damage with very little counterplay should not be a thing. It is very frustrating to play against and extremely situational. It should be like other melee weapons. Left clicking less damage but can multihit and the "special attack" single target but is special in some way. Hammer has a single target high damage and destruction. Sword should have single target damage on the lunge but high mobility.

The rotational clamp itself got introduced to get rid of people 360° rotating through an entire team for a huge hurtbox and is without multihits therefore redundant.

I intentionally didn't talk about hit registration because it haunts the game as a whole but of course that increases the frustration for alot of people. Like all other bugs it should not be a reason to increase/decrease the weapons power and should rather be fixed.

Changes

M1 Damage 88 -> 74 (one more left click for each class)

Lunge Multihits -> removed
Lunge Damage 120 -> 140 (without multihits and less left click damage you need the combo breakpoint of 140 to have a fighting chance)
Lunge rotational clamp -> removed

Day 6

Hey everyone! How are you? I'm here to talk about the costs of the premium and ultimate battle passes. It would be extremely important if you regionalized the prices according to the local currency, just like you did with the Arc Raiders price, which was a success, for example... Today in Brazil, owning a video game console/PC is a luxury due to our economy and also because the game only runs on the new generation of consoles. The difference of R$43.00 for the premium pass compared to R$169.90 is brutal... almost 4 times the price of the regular pass, and if we consider the overall cost, it's difficult to buy everything since we play so many other games, etc. The point is that we know these are the best skins and obviously have their value; we want to buy them. Brazilians love this skin culture, especially the cosmetics from The Finals, which are so detailed and unique, but they're quite expensive! Please consider this if possible. A hug from the South American community, which is growing little by little and we love the game! hug_friend TFcoin South_America

dude what was the logic behind the v9s buff??? TRIPLE buffing its range is insane?? it now kills faster at all ranges than most light weapons. It has no downsides anymore.

we HAVE to stop buffing things based off of vibes and instead look at how they compare to other weapons on the class. this patch was almost perfect but the v9s buff makes playing light absolute hell as it kills light faster than any other weapon aside from 1 taps. Im essentially just playing CS when fighting other lights

  • At end of the match, stats sometimes show what I gained, like +1 ST, other times how much I have total, +20 ST, which is inaccurate
  • I can invite friends but they don't actually get sent an invite if I am queuing, I have to stop queue, invite and queue again
  • I can't invite my friend if im in someone else's squad
  • A bug where another player in my team "took" my name, mid match
  • A bug where game gets stuck after dieing and before replay

Is there a plan to implement a 2x XP and 2x Weapon XP weekends ? The camo grind in this game is impossible. You need like 500k kills with one weapon to even reach lvl 13 ? Pretty sure its even more. Since camos are the only thing to grind for in this game it could use some buff as a whole. I dont wanna compare it to CoD but they do a pretty good job with camos and weapon prestiges for example. I sure dont want Embark to copy CoD but something similar would be welcomed for sure and maybe kept more players in the game overall.

Nerf sword M1 to 70 dmg. Buff sword M2 to 125 dmg. Remove sword multihit from M2. Remove aimlock.

**Embark, I love you guys but I'm begging you to please fix sword. **Doing this will raise the skill ceiling to a place where skill expression is possible at all. Sword won't dominate lower lobbies as much because people won't be spamming M1, and sword will be usable in ranked past platinum. This will also completely fix the "360 spinning tech" because there will be no reason to spin if you can only hit one target.

Right now, sword is only viable in plat or below. Any player who is good will instakill sword because of the aimlock. Almost any sidestep will make the sword miss their lunge. As soon as I hit Plat 1, and certainly into Diamond, sword is COMPLETELY unplayable.

By removing multihit on lunge but keeping it on M1, we maintain the unique identity of the sword (which is the lunge because spamming M1 on an enemy is not viable for a light weapon) and give the M1 a purpose (which will be to hit groups of enemies because it will have multihit)

**If a weapon is op in lower lobbies, and absolutely useless in higher elo, it is not balanced. **

Just a reminder. Nerfed every single spec from med/heavy but Dash still untouched, add cooldown between charges OR Just rework it the same way you reworked RECON

dire herald
# fathom aurora Just a reminder. Nerfed every single spec from med/heavy but Dash still untouche...

Dash needs a reworks or a one less charge. that thing is most spammed spec in game. Is hard counter for melee, give a lot of mobility and for some reason is a light dash so close of you can move you of your position.

And other thing Winch claw needs a reworks i think it needs to be less offensive and give more strategy some like that

  • Don't stun

  • More range

  • Needs a charge like dagger

-Enemy aim don't corrected at your position (You quit that and in some update re-added again) Isn't funny try to attract someone and he destroy your hp

Today have a lot of force because people use that with range weapons with a tons of damage and they can insta shoot a claw and starting to shoot with the weapon again.

hammer bugs still in game pls repair that and adds a charge for M2

I would suggest giving auto turret a reload animation to allow some wingle room to counter fire. Going up against an army of turrets that just rain bullets without tiring is tiring to go up against. Wish pinging an enemy would cause the turret to at least turn in their direction. Or just have the turret turn wherever you ping to provide the ability for better positioning.

i agree, i think winch needs a wind up. the fact every heavy insta winches on sight is proof its a low effort 0 consideration required 'free kill' and it is. using it is easy and its broken large hitbox makes it fustrating to fight. being able to move the cashout is enough of an upside. a free kill on top of that? remove stun give it a windup thats all it needs. sure maybe a lil extra range to make up for it (think its far enough as is though)

In terms of ranking the current slate of Point Break maps,

  1. Bernal
  2. SYS Horizon
  3. Monaco

Bernal has plenty of diversity in it's layout with a lot of interiors as well as rooftop battles. SYS Horizon is my least favorite map personally but it has a good spread as well. Monaco is the toughest, the smooth destruction is great but certain points (specifically Point I) are far too clustered and end in a giant pit in which there is no escape.

Love the mode to bits and looking forward to new maps getting added like Nozomi and Fangwei.

Welcome to the finals.
Here we complain and whine in hopes that melee weapons get buffed so we can finally get out of silver and get our well earned free rs(Yes, I'm plat and I play sword. How did you know? I swear I'm not elo inflated.)
Aim training? What's that? Never heard of it.
If I'm stuck silver it's not because I'm bad it's because the game is unbalanced and sword is weak.
I also only play 5 games of ranked every season and play casuals only.
Why am I still silver you ask? Game is unbalanced (not because I'm bad I don't strive to improve and I only played 5 ranked games in the last 2 months. It's the game's fault. Trust me.)

Change the amount of time it takes to retake a grand vault in Break Point as a defender.
I understand that the amount of time it takes, which feels like somewhere around 6-8 seconds, is there for a reason, with the defenders having infinite respawns and all, but because it takes the same time it would to respawn in Power Shift, it's so annoying to get your team to regroup and work together.
It's genuinely infuriating. There should be no reason why it's almost impossible to take a grand vault back. It takes like 2-3 seconds for the attackers to steal one, and the vault takes the same amount of time a typical cashout takes to, well, fully cashout.
Three second steal, one minute on the clock, have to deal with eight people as both teams are losing players. A literal battlefield. You have the chance to take it back, and you go for it. Hold up, I'm three seconds in and not even halfway through stealing! All of a sudden the entire enemy team wiped out your teammates, and are coming for you.

Do have to say, i think the new map is the worst together with kyoto. The visual clutter is plainly disgusting , combined with narrow spaces, some literally just "ending" and being a tiny cubby randomly on the map, the size and scale of rooms and areas. It's just a LOT of narrow spaces that don't even feel like a city but more like a wrongly scaled miniature.
I don't mean to be insulting, but this really isn't that great in my opinion.

I give up.. to be fair.. what makes the most upset at this game( im trying to be nice here ) is the ammount of money I spent in comestics.. S4,5,6,7.. were about shooting weapons with the ocasion good players using non meta weapons.. now its healing, explosions, crushed buildings everywere.. Its fine.. I will unistall the game.. I think thats what embark wants us to do.. the numbers are down.. so im not making things up.. we can try to blame it on BF6 or Arc Raiders.. the thing is.. this is not any better because of the decisions that are made internally.. byeeeee

After playing a bunch Point-Break I LOVE IT, but a HUGE QOL addition for attackers would be while eliminated/spectating being able to know how close someone is to your revive statue in meters so we can get an idea if there's any chance of being revived. And/or the ability to know when someone is carrying our revive statue. It's often too hard to tell cycling through teammates im spectating which one is close to my statue and may/may not revive me. Hard to know if im wasting time and should just coin or if someone nearby can rez me. Also helps prevent people from respawning while im carrying their statue to a safe place bc they have no idea im about to rez them until i actually start.

You cannot gut a weapon because it’s strong in power shift - Riot Shield is C tier at best in ranked cashout, and frankly cashout is the only game type that any weapon should be balanced around

Please nerf the V9S, revert its changes please.

Also winch is just fine this season, its nerf plus its counter play has toned it down alot. Most pro players are using mesh (and some even charge n slam).

Dash is a bit much. I suggest keeping the 3 dashes but after the first two, there is a slight delay for the 3rd

Allows 8 man parties in point break.
Make revives work like normal by only losing coins when people respawn, and when the attackers run out of coins, they cannot respawn unless they are revived and if everyone is wiped out, then we lose the whole game. Also add a timer so that attackers cannot just prolong the game by constantly reviving, the game is too catered towards attackers unless a defender drags the vault behind the red barrier

In my humble opinion. I feel like the game would be a whole lot more fun if there was a Console only matchmaking toggle so that I wouldn’t be beamed across the map by PC players. Every time I go into a match there is only 1 PS player (ME!!!!). Embark!!! Make this change !!!! And my life is yours !!!!

As the game is, crossplay (in terms of console and pc) is unhealthy for the game. It is completely unfair to fight a pc player as a controller player. The game is just easier to play with kbm than controller, with a much higher skill ceiling.

Take the v9s for example, it’s without a doubt strong right now and might be meta. On pc, it is simple to use just point and click. A decent player might reach near the max fire rate. However, on controller it is much harder to spam the trigger considering the spring that gives resistance as well as the longer motion required to pull said trigger. One might argue that you don’t have to let go off the trigger fully to shoot, which is correct but very tiring due to the aforementioned resistance. Another argument is trigger stops, but not everyone has or will spend the money for a pro controller. Do not mention about buying a pc if you’re having a problem, that’s just narrow minded and privileged.

Another issue is the way players aim. You have all heard the 2D plane vs 3d aiming. And the full arm aiming vs thumb aiming. It’s true and not even remotely fair. A player on mouse and keyboard can turn around easily and accurately as they can precisely control how much their mouse moves and how fast. This corresponds to much easier fights at close range and long range. While a controller player can also control how fast they turn they can’t reliably be precise. There is a small boundary to where they can change the speed up to a max. You might argue about look acceleration but that only works up to a point to help. Gyro is only available to some and is bothersome to learn.

It would be much wiser to add a console only matchmaking pool. As it stands, the majority of my lobbies are pc players, especially in modes like cash out where I am normally the only Xbox player or the only console player. There are arguments to be made against it, like “turn off crossplay”. That’s just dumb, I never get a game like that. Nerf winch

fallen quest

As a avid fan of the game since season 1, I have to say I'm decently disappointed this season. Season 8 felt locked in place with TGM, but I was hoping season 9 would offer something really new. But it doesn't really feel like it has that much to offer.

  • No new specs
  • Only minor rebalances to weapons, while weapons like MGL, spear, dual blades, Cerberus, and a bunch of gadgets sit untouched
  • New game mode only launches with 3 maps(!!)
  • Power shift still doesn't have all maps
  • Future LTMs are recycled
    So it has me asking, why play now and get tired of the game when I could wait to see if it gets fleshed out more? I especially feel like there are a few key missed opportunities for replayability:
  • "Party Playlist": casual oriented quick play options with classic fun modes like Gun Game, Prop Hunt, or TDM with crazy randomized load outs. Let people stay in the lobby and have game mode / map votes between rounds
  • Map modifiers: launch maps felt so strong with like 4-5 variations, like moving platforms, suspended structures, turrets, or under construction. Newer maps barely have any.
  • Mid round modifiers: WT introduced several modifiers like double jump, dome shields, speed boost, dead go toxic, but those disappeared entirely and aren't added to quick play like anti gravity or meteor showers. I don't know why devs haven't added like 1-2 events per season especially when the community has suggested literally dozens of fun modifiers to implement.

So it just feels like a giant missed opportunity and Season 9 feels like Season 8.5, and Season 8 already felt like Season 7.5

Uncensor the word "El" for spanish speakers.

The word "El" can be the male equivalent of "the".

"El objetivo" -> "The objective"

Or it can just be the male pronouns he/him when written with an accent "Él" (Important to note that nobody writes it in a video game with the accent, since the accent is only there because old grammar rules, but its 100% understandable without it. Plus you need to do a series of key presses with the numpad just to type it out.)

Im Puerto Rican, so I speak spanish. I organized a small tournament for the game for other Puerto Ricans and I had to resort to sending messages via discord since "el" kept getting censored, making it super confusing, especially when the word is extremely common.

Assuming that "el" is an actual swear word in a different language, it should still be uncensored. Languages WILL have words that can sound offensive in another language. Best examples being the word for "black" in spanish and "run" in japanese. (Not writing them just in case.) Which are 100% perfectly fine and innocent in their languages, but censoring those words because of another is unfair to the speakers.

If somebody maliciously uses that word in the language that makes it offensive, then you should just handle that manually after people report them.

The Finals is the world's greatest gameshow, so it's best to accept all the languages in the world.

Part 1

The game is continuously running worse and worse for me and my friends. Bullets flying past my head despite no one shooting at or near me. Footsteps not making any noise despite the invisible light running up behind me with a double barrel. The game getting stuck for a solid 10 seconds on the "Instant Replay" screen when getting defib'd. I can still move around, not that it helps.

Performance wise, the game is stuttering all over the place. Finals utilizes close to 90% of my ram which has caused my entire PC to blue screen and crash. No other game has ever accomplished that before and since. Similarly, my CPU is pretty much always at 100% utilization, my GPU is at around 50%, no matter the graphic settings. The workaround I found was capping the FPS at 80 and running the game on the lowest settings. everything looks washed and stutters around non the less, especially bad since this patch (more specifically since this week). I have a 3060 12gb and Ryzen 5 5600x with 16gb 3200Hz RAM.

When it comes to pings, what is up with those? Sometimes, I want to ping the objective to signal to the others that I want them to move there with me. Instead, the game pings the random, barely visible Zipline that is somewhere in the general direction in which I am looking. To put it into other words, it is frustratingly imprecise.

The servers are another issue entirely. Either my bullets do not register at all or they do close to no damage. This is especially annoying with the medium GL, any shotgun or slow firing weapon. This also applies to movement. Sometimes I run behind cover to avoid dying in a gunfight. Quite frequently, once I am behind cover for a solid .5 to .7 seconds, I get hit and die anyway.

# limpid hill Respectfully, what the actual fuck was embark smoking when they decided to buff ...

Its the same as it was with slightly more range. it is now differentiated from the short range super melt guns like the M11 etc and sits comfortably between the ranges. Now 93r just caught a well deserved nerf so its not as oppressive and no longer outperforms across the board. Before, the V9 lost to other guns with the same/ similar range then got smoked by the long range options (93r).

Its just a common pick now that the v9 has been buffed.

The big winner in this patch was controller players with aim snapping.

Hello embark
I'm a player from Brazil and my English isn't very good, so I'm using Google Translate.

I'd like to report a visual bug with the red dot crosshair where, in some matches, the inner circle is completely close. I thought it was just me, but several people in my game have reported the same thing.
If you could check it, I'd be happy.
P.S.: Please dub the game into Brazilian Portuguese.

Nerf sword M1 to 70 dmg. Buff sword M2 to 125 dmg. Remove sword multihit from M2. Remove aimlock.

**Embark, I love you guys but I'm begging you to please fix sword. **Doing this will raise the skill ceiling to a place where skill expression is possible at all. Sword won't dominate lower lobbies as much because people won't be spamming M1, and sword will be usable in ranked past platinum. This will also completely fix the "360 spinning tech" because there will be no reason to spin if you can only hit one target.

Right now, sword is only viable in plat or below. Any player who is good will instakill sword because of the aimlock. Almost any sidestep will make the sword miss their lunge. As soon as I hit Plat 1, and certainly into Diamond, sword is COMPLETELY unplayable.

By removing multihit on lunge but keeping it on M1, we maintain the unique identity of the sword (which is the lunge because spamming M1 on an enemy is not viable for a light weapon) and give the M1 a purpose (which will be to hit groups of enemies because it will have multihit)

**If a weapon is op in lower lobbies, and absolutely useless in higher elo, it is not balanced. **

the 2nd box in ranked is ruining the game... If a leading team is taking the box and throwing it away and another team wipes during the last 1 min 20 seconds of a match. They will spawn near the 2nd box and have no chance of participating in stealing the last cashout.. Its a flawed system keeping the 2nd box after the final minut timer. Some teams have no chance of recovering

V9s Low Pickrate >> Buff

CL-40 Low Pickrate >> Buff
Dagger Nonexistant Pickrate >> Nerf Nerf Nerf Nerf Nerf

Make it make sense embark make it make sense. This weapon has the highest skill floor in the game. Only people who still play it are 100+ hour unc dagger players from bygone ancient times.

The dagger just needs some QOL improvments as its SOOOO difficult to use rn.

charge to backstab gives you a movment penalty for trying, not for failing, charge also takes 200ms longer since the hold backstab change. 150 degree backstab angle feels better for the enemy, but not for the player running the knife. Elbow shots happen SOOO often and just eat a perfectly good backstab.

Biggest problem with it rn, is its so strong against low to mid skill players while being completely uselss against high skill players.

The reason for this is its terribly inconsistent, and impossible to capitalize on millisecond oppertunies ot outplay opponents because of the mass 800ms charge delay.

solution... Remove charge delay for right click while adding a movment penalty after the stab like sword. add a 800ms no sprint and even no dash or specialty debuff after a stab. That alone would make the dagger so much more useable. It would make it more high risk but high reward.

Thank you for lsitening to my ted talk please please please let me use my favorite weapon against my cracked friends and have a chance

7800X3D and RTX3080 and sometimes randomly a match plays like a powerpoint presentation. FPS avg. 190 and 1% lows ~110 and game feels like 30fps. It's like playing with the worst internet possible where there is just a gigantic variable delay in everything you do between 0.1s - 0.5s. Game is just extremely jittery and it feels like a bad, bad internet lag even though there are no lag icons. I'm on a 600/600 1ms fiber connection. Sometimes you play one round in Skyway and it's so laggy it's almost unplayable and you qualify for next round and all is fine. So some server is broken?

Some maps like Skyway Stadium this happens for me almost every time. Tried verifying game files, DDU and NVCleanstall new drivers and nothing seems to help. Only started happening after season 9 patch.

I can no longer: slide/crouch, use my ability, interact with something, or start a reload while sprinting. I must stop my sprint if I want to perform any of those actions. Whenever I try to do those things mid sprint my character moves their gun slightly, as if the game knows that I want to perform an action but the action simply doesn't occur.

I have tried rebinding the keys, resetting to default and rebinding everything, and reinstalling the game but still have not been able to fix the problem.

Hello embark
I am pretty sure you are never reading these messages, but if you are reading this I would like to tell you that your ranked system is just a waste of time. I am at 24k rank and I am playing a round that if I win fully I will earn 500 RS, this is 24k rank, and I am playing against top tear players, this game is a waste of time. I spend the whole day playing. four matches my teammate leaves the game, and another game one guy trolling he is not even playing. I am really done with this game. what a waste of time and effort and energy and resources. I spent the whole day to lose 4k Rs for nothing. Plus you can't win all rounds so it's just stupid. I am going to bed and I am just feeling what did I do the whole day except wasting my time on some stupid system that is not fair. instead of you making it easy or intermediate depending on current points of the team, maybe you should consider taking the number of eliminations each player has. also maybe take the personal performace into account ? or maybe don't detuct points of me becasue my teammate left at the beginning of the round. I am sorry but this ranked is not playable. it's just so toxic experience and it cause people personal frustration that has nothing to do with your skill. No wonder the community of this game is getting smaller

Feedback on Weapon Sight Customization

Hello, developers. I would like to offer some feedback regarding the current weapon sight visuals in The Finals. While the weapon skins in the game are beautifully designed and highly detailed, the sights remain unchanged and always appear in the default black color. This creates a noticeable visual mismatch and reduces the overall aesthetic quality of the customized weapons.

Would you consider updating the sights so they can adapt to or reflect the equipped weapon skin? Even subtle color adjustments or thematic variations would greatly improve visual consistency and player immersion.

Thank you for your time and for continuously improving the game.

I'd rather see V9S as an stealth weapon - it already got a silencer on the default skin, so why not to go with that? Even less noise, but you get less damage potential too. Maybe some utility could help such concept, like let's say an hollow point ammo type that would be slightly slowing down targets on hit? Think Something kind of KS-23 but for light class - utility, not damage per se.

With the focus on pro play and the obvious push to ranked with combining it with world tour, i think that there should be 2 weeks of the new map in a dedicated quickplay mode to let players learn the new map before risking RP in ranked. Not everyone is a streamer that can play all day to learn a new map, and games nowadays dont take their core playerbase into consideration with this stuff. Let me come home from work and play quickplay on a new map for a few days before it is forced on me in ranked

I am not sure if I am the only one, but matchmaking seems worse than it's ever been. World Tour lobbies are absolutely insane and in ranked, I literally played Perzzon and some other pros as a 22k gold and get matched with bronze players in my team regularly. I don't understand what Embark meant with fairer scoring that reflects actual performance, but if I am in a game with pro players and team mates that are 15k+ lower in ranked score, why would I still lose so much Rs for not being able to qualify for next round?

The start of this season has been worse in terms of matchmaking than any season before in my view - maybe it's just my experience but it's highly frustrating and outside of the quick play modes, I don't see the point in playing any cashout modes at this time.

Embark I love you guys but oh my god i swear you guys don't know what balancing is light class has been a problem sense the beta and it has only gotten worse with each season. Half of lights arsenal shouldn't 2 shot a heavy. As someone who was hundreds of games in each class light in general needs a rework/nerf everything is WAY to powerful and easy to use. Medium i feel is fine for the most part repeater is to strong and CL-40 is not fun to play against. Heavy needs a Shak-50 nerf, wench claw needs another nerf, pyro mine needs to be un-nerfed, KS-23 needs a slight fire rate nerf because now makes BFR Titan kind of useless now. Once again I love you guys but you guys are so bad at balancing weapons all because you nerf a meta doesn't mean buff something to replace it (V9s). Ranked also needs to be worked on as someone who solo ques I shouldn't lose 1,000+ RS because someone left the game or failed to connect on my team. Please fix your game i really want to enjoy this game again but at the rate its going I might wanna go play BO7 over this.

Hello I'm a new player most weapons in this game feel very satisfying to use but it feels like these recent changes and ongoing weapon balance needs to be tweaked out as soon as possible or else it might damage the game permanently like the v95 becoming a menace after a recent range buff but the main concern for me is the p90 medium already had multiple weapons that could deal consistent damage like the akm and the fcar but the fact that the p90 feels very oppressive at close range to the point that it outperforms a lot of other medium weapons in this category feels rather odd that the p90 is very good in this category but I feel like the best thing to do since it's a weapon with very low recoil would be reducing the headshot multiplier damage a bit.
The m11 is in a similar situation but I feel like it should get a small damage nerf because there is no point in running the xp 54 if the m11 just does better damage thank you if you have read this message have a please day/night

I fixed the frames issue by quitting this game once for all, this game missed up my life. I don't study anymore, I don't do fun things in real life, the only thing I am doing is losing myself in the stupid ranked system which a pure waste of time. I decided that I am gonna stop playing this game, a game should respect your time, respect your presence as a human being not let you spend hours of your life wasting your days playing, so your rank gets lost by stupid teammates leaving, servers lagging, people trolling farming new accounts, stupid ranked system that doesn't make sense. I just realized that it's not really worth it. I am off this toxic game. The company listens to some streamers complaining about the ranked changes, because this is their life just playing, but the company forgets that the bigger community they have are not streamers and they have a life to do something. I am not going to spend days farming points that get lost in unfair ways. I liked that they did the change in ranked but then they reverted it. I am done

Input issue
There is a very annoying and serious aspect to the gameplay. When you play a round in any game mode, you can feel how the input delay of your mouse seems to increase tenfold, and it feels as if it is floating across the screen, losing sharpness and responsiveness of movement. At the same time, the game on the screen feels and looks less smooth, as if you are playing at** 30 fps on a 60 Hz monitor** (and all this despite the fact that I have 200-220 fps on a 240 Hz monitor at the moment of the issue).
This does not depend on what is happening on the screen; input lag can appear at any time for no reason. I have been observing this problem since** season 3**. Now, with the current technical state, it is simply impossible to play.

In my humble opinion. I feel like the game would be a whole lot more fun if there was a Console only matchmaking toggle so that I wouldn’t be beamed across the map by PC players. Every time I go into a match there is only 1 PS player (ME!!!!). Embark!!! Make this change !!!! And my life is yours !!!!

here's an idea (no i won't talk about balance)

sounds are underused, maybe we can have an option to pair them with emotes? Like imagine if you could select a sound which plays along with your emote in intro and victory situations?

ionic viper
wraith solstice
# wraith solstice As the game is, crossplay (in terms of console and pc) is unhealthy for the game...

Part 2:

I am someone who uses relatively high skill weapons, that being dagger and sniper. Both of these weapons are not suited towards controller and it shows by the difficulty. Dagger is without a doubt the hardest weapon in the game, having low health and an inconsistent hit registration. However, it also suffers from controller due to the aforementioned aiming problems. Not to mention how it’s easily counter able. All of these just make dagger unviable, especially on controller. I dare any of you to name a controller dagger player that doesn’t use gyro.

I have nothing else to say for now, but crossplay between console and pc hurts the casual player base a lot, and the competitive controller players as well. It shouldn’t be like this. Take overwatch 2 and rainbow six siege for example, both of them featured console only pools and that made them fun and more engaging rather than being absolutely destroyed every match.

I know that there are enough pc players populating the game to make this feasible, as the majority of my matches have only pc players.

Buff dagger, let it backstab inanimate objects again. It was a stupid change that achieved nothing but animosity between the devs and dagger players. Dagger is bad, make it better.

Hello Embark,

It's been 740 days - 2 years, 9 days - since The Finals was released, and we're already in Season 9. Thank you for this game, I love it and have been playing since the beta.

Now, I'd like to ask you the following: when is the team behind the matchmaking system coming back from vacation? As I said, it's been 740 days, I think that's enough time for a good vacation. If that's not the case, I'd be incredibly worried because they've most likely watched the entire Netflix catalog 700 times instead of improving the matchmaking, which is currently the most unfair thing seen in the gaming industry. Matchups where teams of 3 are Ruby, or are esports players (professionals), or Diamond players trying to reach Ruby are being pitted against casual players, people in solo queue, or people who are simply in Bronze, Gold, or Platinum 4... all these people are constantly suffering a frustrating gaming experience because of this type of matchmaking.

I think we all deserve a better matchmaking system, from the most experienced players to those with a medium, casual skill level or solo players/queues.

That being said, thank you for everything, but it's been 740 days and things are still the same, and seeing the current player base and the future, all of this will reach an unsustainable situation.

Fix crossplay, the performance on pc drops and gets worse the more console players are in the match

Fix the servers, why does pc suffer with damage and registration and shot delay but console has no issues, why is console buffed but pc is suffering with lag and damage just because crossplay is enabled

fix the servers, stop doing other things an fix servers, you lose players due to bad performance.

When are we just gonna collectively quit the finals? Like seriously.... they can't keep getting away with awful performance, horrible servers, a buggy mess... this channel is such a depressive mass of hopelessness. We have had claims of better performance but we are sinking further and further. What happened to 120 FPS on max settings highest RT? I can barely make that on lowest settings DLLS ultra performance now. You claim to fix winch but it now had "15" meters of range, since the line doesn't snap, just today I had a wall pull happen to me. Servers are horrible, case an point, they have been for seasons, and I do not know how people tolerate this. I guess I know how... they don't... that's why we went from 35k peak on steam to 15k on sundays in about a year.... And who thought that the V9S needs a buff? It outranges a freakin LH1 now..... you guys really need to rethink who makes the balance patches.... all of this combined, I wouldn't be surprised if the 3rd year of the game marked the death of The Finals.

New Point Break changes: for each player on the defending team that has ranked Ruby before, attackers get at least +5 Respawn Tokens. If there is a player on the attacking team that has ranked Ruby before, -5 Respawn Tokens.
If there are 6 or more players on the attacking team that have ranked ruby in the past, 6x-5=-30, so attackers lose by default and the matchmaker tries again.

Or you could just have the game's length be governed by a time limit instead (time is added when all grand vaults in an area are destroyed)

Should not be able to shoot out of base spawn in point break.
Shooting into base spawn should also not be possible, the wall should block everything.
Once you leave base spawn you should not be able to return.

Finals should shamelessly rip off the movement system from Titanfall and the perk system from CoD.

Titanfall's devs are too busy making a new tasteless slop, CoD is just AI slop and from the looks of it, will be in the foreseeable future. Embark should take advantage of this and bring some of their movement tech into Finals, like Wallrunning and Double Jumps. Give the boomers something to really complain about, make the game more mechanically engaging (or challenging, depending on who you ask).

On the other end of the spectrum, add the perks from CoD that grant passive bonuses such as faster reload, sprint or silent footsteps. CoD has amassed a lot of different types of perks over the years, however only a handful actually fits in with the Finals. Add them for the players on the other end of the spectrum of complexity, who just want to shoot and kill and chill without worrying about switching equipments.

This would make the game more attractive to different calibers of players who never got interested in The Finals to play it, or worse, played for a while and got bored/overwhelmed by the game after trying. This would also improve long-term player retention, as both build diversity and skill ceiling would raise and keep these types of players hooked in for longer.

It's not like those games are lining up for new hyped sequels, so why not take advantage of the opportunity?

Ive recently noticed through readinh Embarks notes about balance updates, Ive seen that they nerf/buff weapons depending on their usage statistic. The more people are using a weapon, the more likely it is to be nerfed. The less they are using, the more likely it gets buffed. This is a very stupid way to approach balance updates. But hey, no one said Embark was smart. Greedy maybe. But def not smart.

I’ve got a few suggestions for Point Break. 1st, why do attackers get to arm the vaults super fast but the defenders have to disarm very slowly? I feel like that makes it much harder for the defenders because they have the disadvantage while defending and attacking. 2nd, If an attacker gets killed in between stages (right before the new vaults spawn) they should still lose a coin, it just feels weird there’s no drawback to dying during that time. 3rd, I know you’re working on this already but I’m gonna say it anyway- don’t let the grand vaults go outside the border. 4th, this has nothing to do with point break but please free sword, remove angle lock, remove multihit on lunge, nerf m1 damage a little bit and bring m2 damage up to at least 125.

If a dev is actually reading this, just know I appreciate you and your game but it’s got a lot of problems and I hope we in the community can be here to help you.

Serious feedback on Sword

I played Sword for about 1000h (hit rank 90 with it before) and a few things get lost in the heated "Sword is overpowered/unplayable" discussion.

First of all both sides need to be understood where they are coming from.

Yes in a casual lobby where people don't hit the important shots a Sword that is just running around and left clicking people to death seems absurd, overpowered and has little to do with skill expression.

The Problem is as soon as you cross the line of people investing enough time to hit even just a moderate amount of their shots left clicks become less and less viable and you have to learn combos and movement tricks to minimize the damage you take while maximizing the damage output. That's where the sword lunge comes in. Lunging is the part where skill expression shows with movement, spacial awareness and positioning. With reducing the damage AND introducing a rotation clamp the lunge becomes really clunky to use and less effective than the simpler M1 spamm.

So what can Embark do to fix the issue for both sides ? Put the focus of the weapon back on the lunge to reduce frustrating scenarios.

Second Problem, lunging through an entire team and dealing massive damage with very little counterplay should not be a thing. It is very frustrating to play against and extremely situational. It should be like other melee weapons. Left clicking less damage but can multihit and the "special attack" single target but is special in some way. Hammer has a single target high damage and destruction. Sword should have single target damage on the lunge but high mobility.

The rotational clamp itself got introduced to get rid of people 360° rotating through an entire team for a huge hurtbox and is without multihits therefore redundant.

I intentionally didn't talk about hit registration because it haunts the game as a whole but of course that increases the frustration for alot of people. Like all other bugs it should not be a reason to increase/decrease the weapons power and should rather be fixed.

Changes

M1 Damage 88 -> 74 (one more left click for each class)

Lunge Multihits -> removed
Lunge Damage 120 -> 140 (without multihits and less left click damage you need the combo breakpoint of 140 to have a fighting chance)
Lunge rotational clamp -> removed

Honestly I hate how lights spam sword primary attack it's too easy and needs no skill.

U Devs can make sword like it was in Season 3 when u needed to use the lunge,since super dash was the real problem now it's fixed!!!

We still need multihit but cap the rotation at 190° since some players abuse multihit to do a 360 attack on one player.

U can later nerf it to 160° rotation if needed.

Without lunge being the main focus the sword isn't as exciting.

Lunge damage should be 140 like before.

Also make the dagger 180° hitbox again cause the high end players with perfect internet r still good with the nerfed dagger

The recommended AMD drivers need to match between the Finals and ARC Raiders, I'm not gonna flip flop my drivers to play the two games. Right now I can't play The Finals without forcing dx11, which doesn't jive with my card well at all.

Funny enough, I had a message in ARC Raiders this morning to download the finals, but I can't play because the recommended AMD driver for ARC causes crashing in the finals.

Day 7

Hey everyone! How are you? I'm here to talk about the costs of the premium and ultimate battle passes. It would be extremely important if you regionalized the prices according to the local currency, just like you did with the Arc Raiders price, which was a success, for example... Today in Brazil, owning a video game console/PC is a luxury due to our economy and also because the game only runs on the new generation of consoles. The difference of R$43.00 for the premium pass compared to R$169.90 is brutal... almost 4 times the price of the regular pass, and if we consider the overall cost, it's difficult to buy everything since we play so many other games, etc. The point is that we know these are the best skins and obviously have their value; we want to buy them. Brazilians love this skin culture, especially the cosmetics from The Finals, which are so detailed and unique, but they're quite expensive! Please consider this if possible. A hug from the South American community, which is growing little by little and we love the game! hug_friend TFcoin South_America

I have a bunch of ideas which I have been hoarding for the past few months, and I would like to dump them here.

Format:
🔾 Name "In Game Description" Actual Description

Bugs (These will not follow the format above)
🔾When ending a match of Team Deathmatch (or round in general but I have only experienced it here), If you are viewing the scoreboard (Tab), the scoreboard does not go away, even if you stop holding Tab
🔾When ending a match of Team Deathmatch (again, could be for other modes), All the players are shown to die with the little skull icon next to their name, even if they are alive

Breakfast Bomb Set
🔾 O-mine-lette "Tastes like a flawlessly defended cashout, but I don't think you want to take a bit out of it" Fried Egg skin for Explosive Mine
🔾Breakfast is served "Show your opponents that you know your way around the kitchen, and the cashout" An inspect animation for the explosive mine where you put it in a pan and flip it like an egg
🔾I frequently get shot through walls when I have just gone around them (I think it is due to the servers)

BFR Titan Animations Set
🔾Snap lock "Check your bullets before you fire" A deploy animation where you snap the side latch shut when taking out the BFR Titan
🔾Snap Cycle "Who says reloads can't steal the spotlight?" Same as for the R .357, but this time they snap the bullets in and out one by one
🔾Spin Skills "Show off your skills gained in the Wild West." Spin the revolver in various ways, sort of like the peacemaker in Battlefield 1

Nerf sword M1 to 70 dmg. Buff sword M2 to 125 dmg. Remove sword multihit from M2. Remove aimlock.

**Embark, I love you guys but I'm begging you to please fix sword. Doing this will raise the skill ceiling to a place where skill expression is possible at all. **Sword won't dominate lower lobbies as much because people won't be spamming M1, and sword will be usable in ranked past platinum. This will also completely fix the "360 spinning tech" because there will be no reason to spin if you can only hit one target.

Right now, sword is only viable in plat or below. Any player who is good will instakill sword because of the aimlock. Almost any sidestep will make the sword miss their lunge. As soon as I hit Plat 1, and certainly into Diamond, sword is COMPLETELY unplayable.

By removing multihit on lunge but keeping it on M1, we maintain the unique identity of the sword (which is the lunge because spamming M1 on an enemy is not viable for a light weapon) and give the M1 a purpose (which will be to hit groups of enemies because it will have multihit)

**If a weapon is op in lower lobbies, and absolutely useless in higher elo, it is not balanced. **

Part 2

My biggest gripe, the balancing. This season especially, balance changes were too few and far between and even delayed for E-Sport finals. The last bit especially is a terrible sign of what's to come. Overwatch did that and completely dropped the ball by tailoring the game around the minority of people who play this game professionally. It will kill the game. DO NOT do what Blizzard did, please, I beg of you!

The balance changes that were pushed out feel untested and half baked. The V9S is so busted now that every Light is playing them. The game, as it is now, is just not fun. Who ever is doing the balance changes, please, for the love of this game and the people who play it, put out more than two balance changes in one season. That is 90 days with just two patches. That is not nearly enough with the amount of bugs and unfair playstyles that are in the game at times. Such as the riot shield for a brief period of time, the M11 meta and now the V9S meta.

Also, please consider redesigning some of the specializations. Heavies are mostly playing winch, which is unsatisfying to play against. Lights are using exclusively the dash, which has a far too short cooldown and three charges are just too good in CQC. Maybe remove a charge (so two total) and increase the cooldown slightly. Medium is the only class that sees decently balance pick rates for each specialization. Heavy and Light need work.

Overall, drastically decrease the period of time between balance changes and add a whole lot more and be more in contact with the community, otherwise more people will forsake The Finals.

Btw, all this comes from someone who has played since season 1.

Cloak overall is good in the right conditions but overall suffers from a lot, It'll be nice if it gains a buff that makes you immune against detection equipment for 3-5s on activation, and any active detection effects gets removed. (The only tracking type that is not effected by this is tracking dart because it makes sense). Cloak device removes a lot of movement options for light, and being easily detected without movement options to relocate or readjust approach, easily makes the other specializations far better. Being temporary immune to detection allows for better repositioning so light players aren't a dead man walking with near zero movement options.

In ranked, the current RNG-based spawns really hurt strategic play. The game is already chaotic in a good way, but random respawns add uncontrollable randomness that removes player agency. You can’t plan rotations or recover properly when spawns feel like dice rolls. Fixed or limited spawn options (e.g. protected bunkers or selectable zones) would reduce spawn camping while keeping the pressure and make ranked outcomes feel more skill-based.

Spear: increase the attack speed of the quick attack and leave the damage
make it so we have to hold the button to activate the spin attack and when the button is released, it cancels it, and also make the lunge speed faster because everytime i lunge towards my target i don't get any closer, i've tried it on the dummies in the practice range

KS-23: give it a 1.3x headshot multiplier and make the hitscan range its maximum falloff range

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

Dual blades: make the Deflect block all melee weapons and shotguns consistently, make the Deflect client-sided and make it so sprinting is quickly re-enabled after holding Deflect

Data Reshaper: revert the nerf it got in season 6

PIKE 556: increase the headsot multiplier to 2x so it offsets the bodyshot damage nerf

Cerberus 12GA: 99 damage is not enough to kill a heavy
99×3= 297 + the 31 burn damage it does= 328 so my suggestion would be to increase the pellet count from 11 to 12 so it will do 108 damage (same as the model, not too much, not too little) and it will not 1 shot lights with the burn damage and two shot mediums with the burn damage, basically make the damage how it was when it launched

Make world tour and ranked separate. All world tour game modes then just ranked. New players don't realise the difference and then there's world tour players playing ranked just making it feel like world tour instead of ranked. Could be 3 sections which would look tidy. World tour, ranked, practice would make game perfect.

Please add Scotland to the game as its own thing.

Bit of long one here but this needs to be said, light needs to be changed.

Light is a risk vs reward class and yet the most commonly used specialization: Dash, removes most of the risk from that classification, it is frankly baffling to me given it's usage rate over the other specializations on light that it hasn't been at least brought up in the patch notes for almost over a year and a half if my memory serves correctly.

To be clear I don't want dash gutted I would like it to be brought back in line along with suggesting changes for it and cloak given that most players I discuss this with have problems with both of these specs.

Let's start with dash, getting to the point i'd suggest it being either 1 or 2 charges. Dash in it's current state is incredibly easy to use which isn't a good thing, light arguably should be hard to play at all levels of play but the lower you go in the skill levels the more dash lights you see. The point being that 3 charges is very forgiving allowing even a semi competent light to get away with horrendous positioning without being punished.

If dash only gets one charge i'd suggest reducing it's cooldown to ~3 seconds but if the devs only ever take 1 off the it's cooldown should remain as is.

Now as for cloack, i'm gonna suggest a small decloack period before being able to fire. Let me elaborate, cloak is less commonly used as a repositioning tool and more of a "free first shot advantage" tool cloak lights commonly run mid ranged weapons making one of the main ways of detecting a cloak light, the scrambling sound basically redundant. So to remedy this i'd like to suggest a change to cloacking device specificaly. So first of all as I mentioned earlier i'd like to suggest a short decloacking period before being able to fire guns, the declaock sound would be louder but to counter balance getting shot doesn't force u out of cloak instead you flicker for a couple of seconds and then got back to cloaked.

Nerf sword M1 to 70 dmg. Buff sword M2 to 125 dmg. Remove sword multihit from M2. Remove aimlock.

Embark, I love you guys but I'm begging you to please fix sword. Doing this will raise the skill ceiling to a place where skill expression is possible at all. Sword won't dominate lower lobbies as much because people won't be spamming M1, and sword will be usable in ranked past platinum. This will also completely fix the "360 spinning tech" because there will be no reason to spin if you can only hit one target.

Right now, sword is only viable in plat or below. Any player who is good will instakill sword because of the aimlock. Almost any sidestep will make the sword miss their lunge.** As soon as I hit Plat 1, and certainly into Diamond, sword is COMPLETELY unplayable.**

By removing multihit on lunge but keeping it on M1, we maintain the unique identity of the sword (which is the lunge because spamming M1 on an enemy is not viable for a light weapon) and give the M1 a purpose (which will be to hit groups of enemies because it will have multihit)

**If a weapon is op in lower lobbies, and absolutely useless in higher elo, it is not balanced. **

Allow the turret specialization to optionally deploy two turrets. When both are active, each deals 50% of the damage a single turret would, giving players the choice between concentrated fire in one spot or broader defensive coverage. Additionally, motion sensors, sonar grenades, and tracking darts from the team should relay information to turrets, enabling them to lock onto detected targets.

How about we buff the other specs and make them viable; you can see invis lights on medium+ settings, grapple is mid unless you are Neongutz pilled. Light is the only class that is 1 tap, and any damage will make you 1 tap by most weapons, so Dash is the obvious choice for most players and let’s not forget Winch still exists in basically the same condition as it always has unless you are a mesh heavy, and dash is the only way to possibly survive being cheese grabbed round corners.

Instead of blaming game mechanics for losing fights, let’s take some personal responsibility for poor aim and positioning, which let’s face it, is usually why people lose against light players. Embark also provides each class with a “low aim req” weapon, and if you can’t kill a light with a CL40 then no amount of nerfs will save you from getting beat.

I think the Aim Snap change was done with good intentions but it overstepped especially with snipers. It's not working as intended according to the patch notes. I'm not sure if it was properly implemented but it's actually worse than last season which was fine, it was a nice balance and even when I was on controller it felt skillful to use, I actually had to aim. I'm having people snap and track with very little effort on their end, why is a sniper snapping and tracking from outside the crosshairs to center mass from extreme distance according to killcams where they don't even barely scope in?

This ranked matchmaking system is, without exaggeration, the worst I have ever dealt with in a shooter before. Thinking about dropping the game altogether, which is a shame considering this has been my favorite game for the better part of a year. I have not been able to play a ranked tourney with my friends in low gold elo without being put against teams with top 100/500 players. In the past 12 ranked games I've queued, I have gotten 2 intermediate ones. The rest being hard/very hard with still awful RS rewards. The most unplayable elo hell ive seen in a game to date. At a certain point I'm skeptical there is even a elo matchmaking system altogether considering how consistently I see diamonds/rubys in my gold lobbies. And with how long this has been an issue I doubt Embark even cares about it AT ALL. Please, for the love of god: fix your game.

They didn't buff the damage and it never out ttk's the m11 lol, and its just re-unerfed range wise for the 3rd time iirc

@olive wraith cba waiting out the time.

You know theres two other classes in the game right? V9s literally didnt get a damage buff. .3 vs a light is irrelvant in most scenerios. It does have better range but half the time the DB out ranges the m11. The buff is only noticable now because every other light gun has been nerfed. Seriously take a look at tge wiki i think the only two guns that are not nerfed rn are the v9s and the AR.

The guns fine where its at. It loses to any ranged duels from other classes assuming they can aim. Its a semi auto pistol not a bullet hose.

@royal jewel i could of swore its happened more but indeed the wiki doesnt say so. Ill check back through the patch notes in the morning

WE DON’T NEED NERFS, WE NEED MORE BUFFS TO LOWER TTK

The game gets slower and slower with every season. We should speed it up, because now EVERY gun has a slower TTK than in S1. Why do you think people fell in love with the beta? Because you could do amazing things — so much endless potential!

Embark, you need to shake up the current meta. We need MORE dopamine and adrenaline from the game!

Bring back all the stuff you took away! Goo tech, nukes, sword, sledge, model, FCAR. I’m NOT saying we need to return to the past. We should move forward, but to do that, we need to DO SOMETHING. At least bring back what we had before.

Dear Embark,

It's been 741 days - 2 years, 10 days - since The Finals was released, and we're already in Season 9. Thank you for this game, I love it and have been playing since the beta.

Now, I'd like to ask you the following:** when is the team behind the matchmaking system coming back from vacation?** As I said, it's been 741 days, I think that's enough time for a good vacation, that's 741 days of vacation! If that's not the case, I'd be incredibly worried because they've most likely watched the entire Netflix catalog 700 times instead of improving the matchmaking, which is currently the most unfair thing seen in the gaming industry. Matchups where teams of 3 are Ruby, or are esports players (professionals), or Diamond players trying to reach Ruby are being pitted against casual players, people in solo queue, or people who are simply in Bronze, Gold, or Platinum 4... all these people are constantly suffering a frustrating gaming experience because of this type of matchmaking.

I think we all deserve a better matchmaking system, from the most experienced players to those with a medium, casual skill level or solo players/queues.

That being said, thank you for everything, but it's been 741 days and things are still the same, and seeing the current player base and the future, all of this will reach an unsustainable situation.

Dear Embark, I'm writing a message to give my current opinion on the season, and also to share my thoughts with @slow crescent .
I really hope you focus on balancing this season. Since you haven't added any weapons, gadgets, or even specializations, I think this is a good opportunity to rethink the balance. We can see that you're trying to get us to play with weapons that are less popular than others by improving them, but maybe a little too much (like the v9s). However, some weapons just need a technical rework (like the spear or the Cerberus). It's true that finding the perfect balance is hard, I'm well aware of that.
Rebalancing everything to make time to kill faster will take time and research, but it's true that combat is getting slower and slower. It doesn't bother me that much, but it is becoming less and less enjoyable at times. As for the goo techs, no, don't bring them back. it's an exploit, not a mechanic. As for nukes, I've already written my opinion on them. Just backtrack on the C4 and that should be enough.
That's all from me. Good luck, and above all, keep this game going !

double jeopardy does basically nothing, the first place team can just set the box down near the cashout and let a lower team put it in. it sounds good on paper but i would much rather have the boxes despawn in OT--that exact thing just happened to me where it wouldnt have gotten doubled if it disappeared at overtime, but instead first place team left it next to the vault and let last place team who owned it put it in.

Still no balance for Light. Buff on Heavy. No thermal vision. Like Respawn, Embark only listen Pro players now since the MAJOR 2025 has been announce. Like 6 months ago now. And like Apex, The Finals lost players. Too bad for the game but you deserv it. At least Arc Raiders is wotking well. Putting a quest around that will not save you.

GG for the waste of this wonderfull game due to your poor choice of balance

#

I honestly think the V9S was overbuffed.

I was shredding with it before the buff, but now it feels like a better ARN.

25m for max falloff was too much and that extra 3% wasn’t needed either. 17.5m-20m would’ve been sooo much better in terms of max falloff.

Idk why PISTOLS (a gun that typically shoots 9mm rounds) have so much damage and so much range. It should have one or the other, V9S should have the damage, 93R should have the range.

Other than that this season feels like a big W. Famas needs a bit of a nerf though, same as repeater, but for the most part feel balanced.

imo, low gravity should be removed/replaced with the double jump event

a lot of the time, stuff like this happens, basically stopping otherwise smooth gameplay in its tracks and wasting time
a few map bound jump pads dont send you higher like this, they just slow you down to imitate lower gravity, leading to you becoming an easier target and potentially dying
player placed jump pads almost always send you into the skybox and accidental usage turns you into target practice on your slow descend
and sometimes, trying to quickly jump down a building/staircase/window gets you shot and killed before you actually start going down, where it should have saved you

there are some things like grappling hook that can occasionally make use of it, but i think its a liability more often than not and should be changed

Dear Embark,

It's been 741 days - 2 years, 10 days - since The Finals was released, and we're already in Season 9. Thank you for this game, I love it and have been playing since the beta.

Now, I'd like to ask you the following:** when is the team behind the matchmaking system coming back from vacation?** As I said, it's been 741 days, I think that's enough time for a good vacation, that's 741 days of vacation! If that's not the case, I'd be incredibly worried because they've most likely watched the entire Netflix catalog 700 times instead of improving the matchmaking, which is currently the most unfair thing seen in the gaming industry. Matchups where teams of 3 are Ruby, or are esports players (professionals), or Diamond players trying to reach Ruby are being pitted against casual players, people in solo queue, or people who are simply in Bronze, Gold, or Platinum 4... all these people are constantly suffering a frustrating gaming experience because of this type of matchmaking.

I think we all deserve a better matchmaking system, from the most experienced players to those with a medium, casual skill level or solo players/queues.

That being said, thank you for everything, but it's been 741 days and things are still the same, and seeing the current player base and the future, all of this will reach an unsustainable situation.

Nerf sword M1 to 70 dmg. Buff sword M2 to 125 dmg. Remove sword multihit from M2. Remove aimlock.

**Embark, I love you guys but I'm begging you to please fix sword. **Doing this will raise the skill ceiling to a place where skill expression is possible at all. Sword won't dominate lower lobbies as much because people won't be spamming M1, and sword will be usable in ranked past platinum. This will also completely fix the "360 spinning tech" because there will be no reason to spin if you can only hit one target.

Right now, sword is only viable in plat or below. Any player who is good will instakill sword because of the aimlock. Almost any sidestep will make the sword miss their lunge. As soon as I hit Plat 1, and certainly into Diamond, sword is COMPLETELY unplayable.

By removing multihit on lunge but keeping it on M1, we maintain the unique identity of the sword (which is the lunge because spamming M1 on an enemy is not viable for a light weapon) and give the M1 a purpose (which will be to hit groups of enemies because it will have multihit)

**If a weapon is op in lower lobbies, and absolutely useless in higher elo, it is not balanced. **

I have a bunch of ideas which I have been hoarding for the past few months, and I would like to dump them here. This is a respost since I have forgotten some things.

Format:
🔾 Name "In Game Description" Actual Description

Bugs (These will not follow the format above)
🔾When ending a match of Team Deathmatch (or round in general but I have only experienced it here), If you are viewing the scoreboard (Tab), the scoreboard does not go away, even if you stop holding Tab
🔾When ending a match of Team Deathmatch (again, could be for other modes), All the players are shown to die with the little skull icon next to their name, even if they are alive
🔾All the Training Dummies in the Practice Range (except those in the trials) appear to be using evasive dash, even the Medium and Heavy Dummies.
🔾The Medium Dummies in the Practice Range hold the AKM wrong. The magazine seems to be at the handle/grip, and not where it should be.
🔾I frequently get shot through walls when I have just gone around them (I think it is due to the servers)

Breakfast Bomb Set
🔾 O-mine-lette "Tastes like a flawlessly defended cashout, but I don't think you want to take a bit out of it" Fried Egg skin for Explosive Mine
🔾Breakfast is served "Show your opponents that you know your way around the kitchen, and the cashout" An inspect animation for the explosive mine where you put it in a pan and flip it like an egg

BFR Titan Animations Set
🔾Snap lock "Check your bullets before you fire" A deploy animation where you snap the side latch shut when taking out the BFR Titan
🔾Snap lock (Alternate version, could include both) Same as above, but you cycle the action.
🔾Snap Cycle "Who says reloads can't steal the spotlight?" Same as for the R .357, but this time they snap the bullets in and out one by one
🔾Spin Skills "Show off your skills gained in the Wild West." Spin the revolver in various ways, sort of like the peacemaker in Battlefield 1

Serious feedback on Sword

I played Sword for about 1000h (hit rank 90 with it before) and a few things get lost in the heated "Sword is overpowered/unplayable" discussion.

First of all both sides need to be understood where they are coming from.

Yes in a casual lobby where people don't hit the important shots a Sword that is just running around and left clicking people to death seems absurd, overpowered and has little to do with skill expression.

The Problem is as soon as you cross the line of people investing enough time to hit even just a moderate amount of their shots left clicks become less and less viable and you have to learn combos and movement tricks to minimize the damage you take while maximizing the damage output. That's where the sword lunge comes in. Lunging is the part where skill expression shows with movement, spacial awareness and positioning. With reducing the damage AND introducing a rotation clamp the lunge becomes really clunky to use and less effective than the simpler M1 spamm.

So what can Embark do to fix the issue for both sides ? Put the focus of the weapon back on the lunge to reduce frustrating scenarios.

Second Problem, lunging through an entire team and dealing massive damage with very little counterplay should not be a thing. It is very frustrating to play against and extremely situational. It should be like other melee weapons. Left clicking less damage but can multihit and the "special attack" single target but is special in some way. Hammer has a single target high damage and destruction. Sword should have single target damage on the lunge but high mobility.

The rotational clamp itself got introduced to get rid of people 360° rotating through an entire team for a huge hurtbox and is without multihits therefore redundant.

I intentionally didn't talk about hit registration because it haunts the game as a whole but of course that increases the frustration for alot of people. Like all other bugs it should not be a reason to increase/decrease the weapons power and should rather be fixed.

Changes

M1 Damage 88 -> 74 (one more left click for each class)

Lunge Multihits -> removed
Lunge Damage 120 -> 140 (without multihits and less left click damage you need the combo breakpoint of 140 to have a fighting chance)
Lunge rotational clamp -> removed

# near prawn someone plz help me stop this replay screen plz its so annoying

there is a new setting that they added this season that allows you to turn off replays if you look through your settings, it’ll be currently set to opt out which means it’ll automatically play the replay and you have to hit a button to stop it. You wanna swap that to opt in. that makes it so after you die, you’ll have to press a button to watch your replay

New mode is GARBAGE! (but can be fixed)
I have played this whole week just this mode, and it is the worst Rush mode I have seen. I come of the game pissed off every time, like now, I'm tilted.
Increase the god damn arming time, increase the fuse time, at least double, if not triple.
Attackers just run at it, and blink and miss it, it is armed, or realod your gun, and it is armed, it is soooo stupid.
Defuse it? Ten seconds or so, and so low fuse time, you have basically no time to react to it, it is so stupid.
Let alone, attackers control BOTH teams winning condition.
Coin = point for defenders, revive, deny it. Can you not see the problem here?
Defending is so stupid, and attacking too, if your team doesn't revive = outlose, and one preson in your team can literaaly burn 30 coins with no revives.
Literally, literally only way you lose as Attacker, is if you give the points to defenders, just wait for revives and eventually you auto win.
I have more to say, but damn, what a garbage mode.
Also you forgot to add the timer, your game tells there is one, but tehre isn't, did no one play this mode before release? How did the winch exploit get thru? Play the game.

I've been playing since season 1 and absolutely love this game, you've got something special here. But a few thigns really need attention:
UI/UX
The menu are visually nice but confusing. New players get lost, The participant and loadout menus need a full rework. Even the main menu needs a UI overhaul—navigation isn't intuitive enough.
Rank Display
Linking Ranked and World Tour is great, but the progression display is messy. It's unclear which rank I'm looking at—needs to be way more intuitive.
In-Game Customization
Let us change crosshairs and weapon skins at the start of each match.
End-Game Stats
The current graphs are weak. Something like Age of Empires-style post-game breakdowns would be way better. Also, adding a match history where players can review past games, stats, and performance over time would be a huge improvement.
Performance
This is critical. On lower-end PCs, it's just not fun. A competitive game needs 120 FPS minimum, not 60. This made me quit during Season 8 before I upgraded.
Balancing
It's decent now, but some items are still useles consider full reworks instead of just buffs.
** 8-Player Parties**
Please make this happen.
Rank Names
Since World Tour is now the seasonal rank, give it completely different rank names from Ranked to avoid confusion.
Practical
Training should turn on local and not on server. And from training we can invite friend, change skin, start searching for a game. Like training is a part of the menu. Like the FREEPLAY in rocket league. I'm sure you guys can do it. It will be so practical !

It's not about new content it's about stability. Fix the UI and performance FIRST. Then go all-in on marketing: streamer partnerships, events, etc.

Dear Embark, have you changed anything about how the game treats carriable objects, because a lot of them in one place cause so much lag and frame drops since this season. Example for this is the trophy room in the practice range or the outside sitting area at the small house in the middle. This also happens in normal games, I have just tested it there in a controlled enviroment. Please fix, makes the game almost unplayable at some points

Point Break has the same problem that every other game mode has which is matchmaking. In fact its probably making things worse splitting up the community even more among game modes, causing players to queue up with/against absolutely cracked high-tier players. This game is absolutely at its worse when facing oppressive high-tier teams that move so fast that you can't really do anything or learn anything. Which is why Point break did not move the needle player-count wise.
I still think this game needs some sort of Co-op mode against AI like zombies or something. So that new players and high-tier players can team up in an environment that isn't as bad for new players. New players can learn how to use gear and guns alongside players that are really good, in ways that aren't as sweaty.

yes please

even just partial/slightly rng dependent choice would be huge
(wouldnt want some maps to become unplayable after all, but just slightly tipping the odds towards our favorite maps would be huge)

what if
2 maps are chosen behind the scenes, and you wont be told what they are (to avoid que-sniping)
then, you get to choose 1 of several map packs, each of which contain 2 maps, to add to your pre-determined maps
the game then rolls randomly for 1 of the 4 chosen maps

50% of the maps you play are still completely random
the other 50% are at your choosing, maybe you take 2 decent maps, or take the gamble of a 25% chance to get your favorite map while paired with something else
everything remains playable, you feel like you have more impact over your experience, and get to enjoy what you love more reliably

its probably a pipe dream, and a bit convoluted, but maybe something along these lines could spark an idea?
i just hope we get some impact over it soon

Point break has been fun but I think you should do 8v8 with a single cashbox where teams advance directly into enemy territory if the cashbox is won. No delay in between cashboxes, one is claimed the new one spawns and it ready for action right away.

Once again advocating for (almost) all Model 1887 skins to have the barrels and stocks sawed off, making them compatible with Dough Wrangler animations. Best case scenario, the skins menu is unchanged but when you click on a skin, you see both versions and on the right you can select between "Equip long barrel" and "equip short barrel"

"But why do this?" As it stands, the only non-progression skins people use for the Model are the Dough Wrangler and Eclipse Shade skins. If all Model skins are changed to be compatible with these animations, people will be more enticed to buy them. "But they're not 800MB, which Dough Wrangler and Eclipse Shade are." When players have more options, over time they'll take them. Just like when Eclipse Shade was released and overnight became the most used skin. So much of game feel and gunplay comes down to animations and these completely eclipse the original model animations. "But what about Prairie Twirl? What about all the Shoulder Draw fans?" Those can be tweaked as well.

"This would be so much work." I'm not so sure? I'm not gonna pretend to be an expert on modeling/texturing but the barrels are almost always one solid texture with little detailing so sawing them down won't take anything away, and in most cases any details on the stock can be moved to another part of the gun with little issue. Examples: on the Engimo model, the "Engimo" logo on the stock can be moved to the handle, on the Kinetic Flare, the "FROM CNS . . . WITH LOVE" can be moved to the part the barrel rests inside of? with the two screws going through it? idk gun anatomy and I couldn't find it on google but I hope you know what I mean

There are a handful of exceptions I'm willing to make: Virtual Extension, Diskette Bezel, probably Pueblo Power, probably Cardboard Boxed, maybe the default Standard Issue skin, maybe the skins with furnishing on the stock (Concrete Smoke, Dissun Aco Eterno

If nothing else, at least do this for the level 13 "Twilight Riptide" Legendary Progression skin.

Hey, can we talk about the destruction physics? My last game was lost due to the destruction physics alone. 1 team had a cashout alreadyy and my team began the next one. The house we were in got destroyed, I was pinned down under a ceiling next to the cashout but could not move up or down to get up just slightly left and right between the cashout and the wall. the other teams started engaging my teammates and i was unable to get out of this position with my light build. The team already winning proceeeds to take the cashout, in a last ditch effort I throw a toxic gas to try and stop them only for the gas to also be trapped in this pocket and kill me. A few more seconds and we would've been tied but I was taken out of the game for so long because a ceiling broke? Literally until my death and game loss. game is great otherwise

Matchmaking might need a bit of a rework, or at least the new player experience could use some. They’ve improved the onboarding system massively over the last couple of seasons with challenge dojos to train certain skills and the playstyle mechanic, but I think they both could use some work.

For starters. I think the very least y’all could do is try and fix the Cashout defense on the harder difficulties seeming as it’s been broken for multiple seasons now and still continues to spawn multiple bots way before box is even inserted into the Cashout station.

For playstyles, I don’t think starting new light players with the light sniper as the default loadout is going to help them very much, nor is it going to foster nice words against them in their first games. It’s been two-ish weeks since S9 started and the amount of Light snipers I’ve seen that go 0-22 with a grand total of 5 levels under their belt is genuinely concerning. Or they just leave early, which is also extremely detrimental, not only to the team, but to their learning process. I’m not really a light player, but this playstyle just feels like someone at Embark just set new light players up to get hated on. Maybe just starting them on something like the SMGs, or the ARN would be a better option. If you want to start them with something long range maybe like the LH1 would be better?

Another final suggestion which also ties into my last point is maybe having a level cap or games played cap to restrict newer players from going into the Cashout game mode. I get it’s supposed to be more casual and get you used to the ranked format, but for me, it’s just not been very great seeing new players jump into it, getting slammed by people who were playing in Sweden a couple weeks ago, and leaving early, most likely to uninstall. If we’re going with a level cap restriction, I feel a decent balance would be achieved by getting somewhere between 25-50 levels?

Ranking in new World Tour is punishing if you're not playing Cash Out. When Point Break can go on for 20+ minutes just to lose and get 2 points is punishing and even a win for 6 points seems like not much of a reward, especially when player base is even more spread out with the new mode and lobbies aren't balanced.

I feel like the general QP modes could just be evened out with 10 points for winning and 5 for losing without detracting from still wanting people in the core modes

Make point break require players to have actually revived teammates, im getting really tired of having matches where multiple people not only go extremely negative but also never revive anyone, and instead are just a complete net drain on the team. I dont understand how you see an abundance of trophies throughout the match and just never touch one, even more confusing when these teammates have defibs equipped and never touch them once throughout the match.

Im pretty sure ranked requires players to hit a certain level, I know in rivals you have to be player account level 15 to touch comp. It would be pretty easy to require say 25 or 50 revives before someone can choose the gamemode that absolutely is made or broken on whether your team is actually reviving or just wasting coins.

Feedback on Weapon Sight Customization

Hello, developers. I would like to offer some feedback regarding the current weapon sight visuals in The Finals. While the weapon skins in the game are beautifully designed and highly detailed, the sights remain unchanged and always appear in the default black color. This creates a noticeable visual mismatch and reduces the overall aesthetic quality of the customized weapons.

Would you consider updating the sights so they can adapt to or reflect the equipped weapon skin? Even subtle color adjustments or thematic variations would greatly improve visual consistency and player immersion.

Thank you for your time and for continuously improving the game.

POINTBREAK FLAW

I just experienced a game where the defending team took the H point past their respawn area making it impossible for us to attack. It was ridiculously stupid. We decided to just wait in our respawn area and eventually we got a countdown and everybody got kicked from the game. Embark, please fix this. Make it so the enemy team can't throw the point past the respawn areas.

Dear Embark,

It's been 742 days - 2 years, 11 days - since The Finals was released, and we're already in Season 9. Thank you for this game, I love it and have been playing since the beta.

Now, I'd like to ask you the following:** when is the team behind the matchmaking system coming back from vacation?** As I said, it's been 742 days, I think that's enough time for a good vacation, that's 742 days of vacation! If that's not the case, I'd be incredibly worried because they've most likely watched the entire Netflix catalog 700 times instead of improving the matchmaking, which is currently the most unfair thing seen in the gaming industry. Matchups where teams of 3 are Ruby, or are esports players (professionals), or Diamond players trying to reach Ruby are being pitted against casual players, people in solo queue, or people who are simply in Bronze, Gold, or Platinum 4... all these people are constantly suffering a frustrating gaming experience because of this type of matchmaking.

I think we all deserve a better matchmaking system, from the most experienced players to those with a medium, casual skill level or solo players/queues.

That being said, thank you for everything, but it's been 742 days and things are still the same, and seeing the current player base and the future, all of this will reach an unsustainable situation.

Feedback on Weapon Sight Customization

Hello, developers. I would like to offer some feedback regarding the current weapon sight visuals in The Finals. While the weapon skins in the game are beautifully designed and highly detailed, the sights remain unchanged and always appear in the default black color. This creates a noticeable visual mismatch and reduces the overall aesthetic quality of the customized weapons.

Would you consider updating the sights so they can adapt to or reflect the equipped weapon skin? Even subtle color adjustments or thematic variations would greatly improve visual consistency and player immersion.

Thank you for your time and for continuously improving the game.

No point to nerfing V9S if the alleged performance improvements don't improve anything. Matchmaking is still a joke, too. I am done with this game. I am not touching this game until it pulls an Apex and you guys shouldn't either. Actively boycott the finals. We won't get anything until tencent sees that the game is rated abysmal. Leave a negative review. I am no longer asking.

After the update, the FPS really improved, and there were significantly fewer freezes and input lags. Thank you, EMBARK.👍

sterile canopy
#

I don’t understand what the motive for this kind of rebalancing for the V9S was. Its distinct use cases have just been muddied, it no longer has that unique range profile which made it interesting. Well, at least not to the same extent. An optimal balance does tend towards uniformity but I think the weapon was okay before the recent changes and could have been given a subtle buff instead without reworking its use cases.

hybrid silo
#

Huge balancing once again Embark! Let’s nerf only the damage on yet another gun so you can keep increasing it or lowering it depending on usage till eternity, so when you change it it will seem like you are listening to the community. Again flawless game development. To be fair it is working because somehow people say that you guys are the best developers in the world right now even though you are doing nothing.

okay so the v9s does need a nerf. probably more of a nerf but for nothing else to be changed? i was really expecting a real balance patch before xmas holidays. i.e: THE MF WINCH NERF. how can it be that the v9s has been meta for 8 days and it gets a nerf but the winch gets nothing! ITS A FREE KILL EMBARK IT DOES NOT REQUIRE SKILL OR THOUGHT. how long will this reign for. heavy is the dominant presence in the meta, even without winch. people are leaving because of this. season 9 had the lowest initial player count launch of recent updates. the meta is stale and boring. people dont like the poke meta. people dont like getting close to a heavy = death.

The in-game announcer has gotten kind of
 annoying; I dare say dumb even, frankly.
He wasn’t unpleasant before, but now it’s even more apparent that he’s AI generated and his delivery of lines is way more jarring and unnatural than it ever was. Kinda hokey.
I love The Finals and Arc Raiders, but the AI-gen voices are starting to get grating, especially if they somehow get worse after updates.

I’ve said before, a likely reason why The Finals/Arc Raiders doesn’t have more players is because the AI-gen voices just really turn people off.
The Finals I get why you’d opt for AI-gen voices, but for Arc Raiders? It kinda sucks that you wouldn’t bother to have actual voice actors for the traders in Arc, being a game with actual cutscenes, however brief.

Re-add Recon Senses to the game, just to disable it and prove you are actually working on a rework . It was removed Patch 2.0.0 for "assessment", but was not disabled like other gadgets (like Stun Gun and Thermal Vision.

Per Dev Note: "The specialization may return in some new form down the line, but only after a major rework."

Seriously?
I was playing with my friend, her game crashed but she reconnected and we finished the game, then back in the lobby I want to queue us up but since she left she isn't in my group anymore.
I CANCEL the matchmaking, invite her to my group and then I leave to get some water
When I come back the queue interface is gone and instead it says "Reconnect" and "Disconnect from server", even though I didn't queue us up yet.
Lo and behold cancelling the matchmaking seems to not work sometimes? I pressed "reconnect" because I thought it was just a visual bug and it'd not actually connect me, but I got connected to a game I never queued for - my 2 random teammates were waiting around a minute or two for me
So I sigh and play the solo-q round that I got forced into, so I can queue with my friend again after finishing the match.
Match done - I CANT QUEUE BECAUSE I HAVE A 10 MINUTE SUSPENSION???
But I reconnected and finished the game? We even got 3rd place as 6th seed but it was counted as last place because I "abandoned" the match, fair if you deduct some points because I was inactive at the start, but I still played the match after about the 2 minute mark, so why punch me in the face with a suspension

Add a time limit to point break, had games were attackers refused to respawn and other attackers hid in the map.
Make it so that coins deplete if attackers use respawns like normal, so that they don't instantly lose if they die at 1 coin left, but will lose if they get wiped out after having no more coins to respawn with.
Add 8 player parties

Thanks for the last update, Embark developers. I'm so glad you are finally adding improvements in every update for community sake, I'm not tired of Break Point; Fangwai is so beautiful.

About V9S nerf, i think this decrease of damage is not enough for the ammo and maximum RPM. You can consideer a weapon too overpowered if they have all these things: high damage, high critic damage, fast fire rate or rpm, enough ammo in the mag, long range, quick reload (tactical and empty), easiest recoil or no recoil, decent shoots without aim; the problem with some recently meta picks like 93R, V9S and the infamous CB-01 Repeater are this.

The difference between that picks and the beautiful BFR Titan is in the punish about miss a shot; low RPM, low ammo, low reload but a highly damage with and without critic damage. The BFR Titan is the significance of balance in the meta.

When one player is tired of losing in non-meta fights, he chose the easiest way, first AKM vs Cerberus, then CB-01 vs Cerberus. Every player have no risk with actual meta weapons; so the casual fight in quick matches are turning in a ranked fight. Players change Charge N' Slam and M60 to winch and Shak-50, their XP-54 to V9S... Is an ego fight.

Nice day, everyone see you in the arenahug_friend thefinals

make this game more competitive + raise the skill ceiling by buffing movement and giving more options to counterplay by adjusting/adding gadgets and specializations. (things that are fun. more recoil wouldnt add fun)

otherwise this game will never get big

theres one key feature that keeps pvp games alive and popular for decades.

CRAZY SKILL CEILINGS

csgo-rocketleague-lol/dota

sadly its not enough to innovate and giving out top notch quality. there are more things that need to fit i you wanna achieve high goals.

and catering to casuals to the same extend as to competitive players is dumb. they wouldnt even notice most changes + the same small balance change is affecting 10x more high elo than casual players.

Nerf sword M1 to 70 dmg. Buff sword M2 to 125 dmg. Remove sword multihit from M2. Remove aimlock.

**Embark, I love you guys but I'm begging you to please fix sword. **Doing this will raise the skill ceiling to a place where skill expression is possible at all. Sword won't dominate lower lobbies as much because people won't be spamming M1, and sword will be usable in ranked past platinum. This will also completely fix the "360 spinning tech" because there will be no reason to spin if you can only hit one target.

Right now, sword is only viable in plat or below. Any player who is good will instakill sword because of the aimlock. Almost any sidestep will make the sword miss their lunge. As soon as I hit Plat 1, and certainly into Diamond, sword is COMPLETELY unplayable.

By removing multihit on lunge but keeping it on M1, we maintain the unique identity of the sword (which is the lunge because spamming M1 on an enemy is not viable for a light weapon) and give the M1 a purpose (which will be to hit groups of enemies because it will have multihit)

**If a weapon is op in lower lobbies, and absolutely useless in higher elo, it is not balanced. **

I've been playing since season 1 and absolutely love this game, you've got something special here. But a few thigns really need attention:
UI/UX
The menu are visually nice but confusing. New players get lost, The participant and loadout menus need a full rework. Even the main menu needs a UI overhaul—navigation isn't intuitive enough.
Rank Display
Linking Ranked and World Tour is great, but the progression display is messy. It's unclear which rank I'm looking at—needs to be way more intuitive.
In-Game Customization
Let us change crosshairs and weapon skins at the start of each match.
End-Game Stats
The current graphs are weak. Something like Age of Empires-style post-game breakdowns would be way better. Also, adding a match history where players can review past games, stats, and performance over time would be a huge improvement.
Performance
This is critical. On lower-end PCs, it's just not fun. A competitive game needs 120 FPS minimum, not 60. This made me quit during Season 8 before I upgraded.
Balancing
It's decent now, but some items are still useles consider full reworks instead of just buffs.
** 8-Player Parties**
Please make this happen.
Rank Names
Since World Tour is now the seasonal rank, give it completely different rank names from Ranked to avoid confusion.
Practical
Training should turn on local and not on server. And from training we can invite friend, change skin, start searching for a game. Like training is a part of the menu. Like the FREEPLAY in rocket league. I'm sure you guys can do it. It will be so practical !

It's not about new content it's about stability. Fix the UI and performance FIRST. Then go all-in on marketing: streamer partnerships, events, etc.

why is it every time i try coming back to the game i find that medium is substantially worse? at this point it feels like its the worst class in the game by far. light and heavy both have better weapons with more variety, light is better for mobility, anyone can heal now and the only class defining specialization medium had was just nerfed to oblivion. what exactly is mediums purpose now other than to be cannon fodder?

Oh. Man, I love this. But the only problem about SBMM is the level.

Let me explain:
U have 3 players who reached the lvl 100

The second player is a half time tryharder, he could play every day and know about competition but he doesn't have a team

The third player, that player who chose Demat or Light class every match

There are many cases why SBMM where you match similar levels in the same team is not working.

But honestly, it is better to have a bad SBMM than not have it

Hello Embark team! 👋
Here are some focused suggestions to improve competitive and casual play in THE FINALS

1) Increase lobby limit to 8 players
Please add ASAP an 8-player lobby limit, so we can finally play Point Break with a full team of friends.

2) Core Cashout Modes – Consistency & Fairness
Please keep Ranked Cashout and Cashout as one coherent Core mode experience:
‱ Ranked Cashout — RP ON, friendly fire ON.
‱ Cashout — RP OFF, friendly fire OFF.
This separation clearly defines the two core modes in THE FINALS Ranked Cashout uses RP and friendly fire to promote more thoughtful, disciplined play and reduce reckless spraying or show-off plays, while Cashout mode keeps friendly fire off and RP disabled for a more relaxed experience, without random events remaining enabled to more relax and fun.

Random Events:
‱ Disable random events in Cashout.
‱ Keep them only in Casual modes (TDM, Head2Head, Point Break, etc.).

Respawn Coins:
‱ Cap at 2 per player.
‱ Reset to 2 coins at the start of each round.

3) LAN / Dedicated Servers
‱ LAN & dedicated servers for scrims, tournaments and esports-style events.

4) Practice Range Improvements
‱ Stay in Practice Range while matchmaking.
‱ Friendly fire toogle.
‱ Unlimited ammo & instant gadget/specialization cooldowns for training.
‱ 1v1 / 2v2 / 3v3 PvP arenas.

5) In-Match Customization, Audio QoL & Casual Flexibility
‱ Change sights, red dot color, crosshairs per weapon and skins mid-match.
‱ Mute when minimized, keep match start sounds counting.
‱ Allow class/weapon/specialization switching in the first 10s or on respawn/during game, not only using coin.
‱ If a player switches class while downed (e.g. Light → Heavy) and gets revived, do not revive at full HP — respawn with reduced HP (e.g. ~50%) to prevent instant high-HP advantage.

Thank u everyone ❀

Im using 3080ti ftw3 evga and receiving 180+ on 4k high settings, its just client side, servers are just bad and overload the game and bring issues, 9.0 was solid for me, 9.1 not so much, guess i gotta hop on the ps5 to actually have a good time

# wary flax Evasive Dash: - Reduce charges to 2 or or make it so that using a charge resets...

Have any reason why sniper should be 109? It's currently 1 headshot and 1 body or 3 body for heavy.
With 109 you would have to land 2 headshots to kill a heavy or 4 body to kill the heavy (leaving them with 23 on the 3rd), this would feel terrible with how heavy has mesh, dome, goo in 2 ways (spec and gadget), heal ball

Also for winch

  • Remove hits on returns, where you miss the target but pull the winch back to you and hit them then. (If it hasn't yet)

V9S in the current state it is a better replacement for LH1, slightly weaker M11 and basically a new stand-in for ARN.

Barely anyone runs anything else now because it became the gun for everything. While other light weapons have obvious weakness and underperform in certain scenarios V9S no longer have any weapon identity.

To be clear it had this exact problem of being everything gun before but range buffs only made this issue worse because it was its only real weakness. If you want it to have the increased range you need to increase it's downtime.

The new gamemode is great but i don't think ending the game as soon as the attacking team has 0 coins is a good idea. While unlikely, giving the last ones alive a chance to take on the mission of reviving and possibly arming the terminal can still lead to a win especially on the last point.

Dear Embark,

It's been 743 days - 2 years, 12 days - since The Finals was released, and we're already in Season 9. Thank you for this game, I love it and have been playing since the beta.

Now, I'd like to ask you the following:** when is the team behind the matchmaking system coming back from vacation?** As I said, it's been 743 days, I think that's enough time for a good vacation, that's 743 days of vacation! If that's not the case, I'd be incredibly worried because they've most likely watched the entire Netflix catalog 700 times instead of improving the matchmaking, which is currently the most unfair thing seen in the gaming industry. Matchups where teams of 3 are Ruby, or are esports players (professionals), or Diamond players trying to reach Ruby are being pitted against casual players, people in solo queue, or people who are simply in Bronze, Gold, or Platinum 4... all these people are constantly suffering a frustrating gaming experience because of this type of matchmaking.

I think we all deserve a better matchmaking system, from the most experienced players to those with a medium, casual skill level or solo players/queues.

That being said, thank you for everything, but it's been 743 days and things are still the same, and seeing the current player base and the future, all of this will reach an unsustainable situation. And of course, every season that passes without any work being done to improve the non-existent matchmaking is another season wasted, and we have to wait for that season to end since the matchmaking wouldn't be changed mid-season. It's unbelievable.

To everyone who is asking for better matchmaking, I want you to lookup the player count for this game and then genuinely ask yourself if you are willing to wait 30-45 minutes for a game with "fair" matchmaking to be found.

i think point break has incredible potential

bigger team sizes, so less pressure on each player
no 3rd parties
no last second capture getting all the reward, since defenders still gain an advantage over the enemies lost coins, while the attackers dont have time pressure to retake because it just resets, as long as they have coins

at the moment i would say it feels a little attacker sided though

maybe reviving should only refund partial coins?
that way it still helps, but taking it slow doesnt prevent coin loss almost completely
a match timer could also help to discourage playing overly safe, but that seems to have been planned but cut, since its still in the description, but isnt present
another way might be to actually make the disarming timer shorter than the arming time, attackers will naturally focus single points, while defenders have to split up or risk a sneak capture
the time you can disarm in is pretty short as is, so forcing the attackers to keep a closer eye on it and giving the defenders a slight advantage would probably help a lot

Winch now gets countered by other heavy items, and nothing else... Why?

Just make it that winch can get destroyed or glitched so it get interrupted by all classes.

Sounds like a stupid idea, I know. but in my defense I also find it stupid that to counter the winch heavy, you need to play the class as heavy, which is also stupid.

Serious feedback on Sword

I played Sword for about 1000h (hit rank 90 with it before) and a few things get lost in the heated "Sword is overpowered/unplayable" discussion.

First of all both sides need to be understood where they are coming from.

Yes in a casual lobby where people don't hit the important shots a Sword that is just running around and left clicking people to death seems absurd, overpowered and has little to do with skill expression.

The Problem is as soon as you cross the line of people investing enough time to hit even just a moderate amount of their shots left clicks become less and less viable and you have to learn combos and movement tricks to minimize the damage you take while maximizing the damage output. That's where the sword lunge comes in. Lunging is the part where skill expression shows with movement, spacial awareness and positioning. With reducing the damage AND introducing a rotation clamp the lunge becomes really clunky to use and less effective than the simpler M1 spamm.

So what can Embark do to fix the issue for both sides ? Put the focus of the weapon back on the lunge to reduce frustrating scenarios.

Second Problem, lunging through an entire team and dealing massive damage with very little counterplay should not be a thing. It is very frustrating to play against and extremely situational. It should be like other melee weapons. Left clicking less damage but can multihit and the "special attack" single target but is special in some way. Hammer has a single target high damage and destruction. Sword should have single target damage on the lunge but high mobility.

The rotational clamp itself got introduced to get rid of people 360° rotating through an entire team for a huge hurtbox and is without multihits therefore redundant.

I intentionally didn't talk about hit registration because it haunts the game as a whole but of course that increases the frustration for alot of people. Like all other bugs it should not be a reason to increase/decrease the weapons power and should rather be fixed.

Changes

M1 Damage 88 -> 74 (one more left click for each class)

Lunge Multihits -> removed
Lunge Damage 120 -> 140 (without multihits and less left click damage you need the combo breakpoint of 140 to have a fighting chance)
Lunge rotational clamp -> removed

Feedback on Weapon Sight Customization

Hello, developers. I would like to offer some feedback regarding the current weapon sight visuals in The Finals. While the weapon skins in the game are beautifully designed and highly detailed, the sights remain unchanged and always appear in the default black color. This creates a noticeable visual mismatch and reduces the overall aesthetic quality of the customized weapons.

Would you consider updating the sights so they can adapt to or reflect the equipped weapon skin? Even subtle color adjustments or thematic variations would greatly improve visual consistency and player immersion.

Thank you for your time and for continuously improving the game.

Embark, the "1k dmg to opponents with grenades" contract in Stage 2 is broken, please look into this issue.

feral fossil
#

Nerf sword M1 to 70 dmg. Buff sword M2 to 125 dmg. Remove sword multihit from M2. Remove aimlock.

**Embark, I love you guys but I'm begging you to please fix sword. **Doing this will raise the skill ceiling to a place where skill expression is possible at all. Sword won't dominate lower lobbies as much because people won't be spamming M1, and sword will be usable in ranked past platinum. This will also completely fix the "360 spinning tech" because there will be no reason to spin if you can only hit one target.

Right now, sword is only viable in plat or below. Any player who is good will instakill sword because of the aimlock. Almost any sidestep will make the sword miss their lunge. As soon as I hit Plat 1, and certainly into Diamond, sword is COMPLETELY unplayable.

By removing multihit on lunge but keeping it on M1, we maintain the unique identity of the sword (which is the lunge because spamming M1 on an enemy is not viable for a light weapon) and give the M1 a purpose (which will be to hit groups of enemies because it will have multihit)

**If a weapon is op in lower lobbies, and absolutely useless in higher elo, it is not balanced. **

My spiel on melee

The biggest problem i see against melee is how hard it is to fight once they have closed the distance, being in attack range of a melee to non-melee users feels extremely punishing and like it's a guaranteed kill on the melee’s part. This to me is a poorly thought out opinion. Melee has no range, and can only function when in melee range of the defender, so it makes sense that once in that range there should be little counter play on the guns part. At the end of the day the melee closed in on you because you positioned poorly or didn't stay aware of your surroundings. I get it can feel frustrating but if non-melees could beat melee weapons at melee range then melee weapons would be useless. I will say tho this complaint is why I think giving melee better primary attack lunges is a bad idea, having melee weapons stick to their opponent even more effectively would only increase this frustration, even as misguided as it is. Because in theory shotguns are a straight upgrade to melee if you can aim, I think giving the melee weapons more tools in their kit to differentiate them from their shotgun/close range weapon counterparts is good.
For this I want to rely on an idea I heard in the discord a while back, giving the unused reload button a unique functionality specifically tailored to the weapon it's put on. This would essentially give all melees a primary attack, alt-fire, and utility. I think this will give melee weapons more use cases outside of damage, keep their fundamental playstyles the same, and not make them even more frustrating to fight as a casual. This also allows us to nerf the more annoying parts of some of these Melee weapons without killing the weapon itself. The first idea I heard for this was giving dual blades a combat roll assigned to their reload button, which sounded really cool to me and would fix dual blades issue of confirming kills while also increasing its skill expression and not making its primary lunge more annoying.

# inland seal use nullifier on self would be a get out of jail free card, id love for it to be...

That is an interesting concept. However I think it's duration would need to be reduced quite a lot for self uses. Light should not have 4 seconds of invulnerability while running away, 2.5 sec at most. And 4 sec would allow Lights to get into the enemy's face and deal instant damage once the null wears off. If it were 2.5 sec, the enemy would have a chance to put some distance/obstacle between themself and the Light, creating a chance to kill the Light.

Can the game be a little more optimized for streaming? I normally get 200+ fps on R7 5800x3D w/ 2060s and 32gb dram, but as soon as i launch OBS nothing complicated just obs studio in admin mode win 11 with 1 facecam and 1 game capture thats it. The FPS drops in game from 200+ to 99 and below, (all numbers are from practice range standing at spawn point) are there any specific settings that i should change within the game or OBS or this is just another Denuvo thing?

Hi, Embark developers and community managers. Hard work when u keep a actively community, isn't? I still love BFR TITAN and M11, that's how you make a weapon balanced.revenge_friend

By the way, maybe that new Arc Raiders marketing in THE FINALS isn't not enough to keep players. I'm a lover of both games, but 3 matches in THE FINALS will not engage Arc Raiders players. Make it more hard, you are giving a free skin to easily, the progression must be more conditioned.

About other marketing campaigns, could be good if you focus on THE FINALS contestant's skin customization. it's a great idea to get your exclusive and unique skin, a collaboration created by combining (to evite pay 4 rights lol)

Nice weekend to everyone. hug_friend thefinals

How about making a soft reset on ranked each season?

clever trellis
#

1) 8-Player Lobby Limit ASAP
Increase limit to 8. This is long overdue; we often have 5+ friends online and can't play together.
This would finally allow us to play Point Break as a full 8-man squad.

2) Cashout Modes Unification
Keep Ranked Cashout and Cashout as a unified experience:

Ranked Cashout: RP ON + FF ON.
I propose adding Friedly Fire specifically to Ranked.
I know this is a controversial idea, but I would love to see it in the game. It would totally change the way ranked matches are played, making the mode more competitive and more esports style.
It forces players to be cautious, deliberate, and thoughtful with gadgets/shooting, preventing mindless spam and raising the skill ceiling to a higher level.

Cashout: RP OFF + FF OFF.
It allows players to have a more chilled game without the pressure of losing rank or the complexity of Friendly Fire.
And make the Cashout same rules as Ranked Cashout (Team Wipe -15% etc.)

Random Events: Disable in both Cashout modes. Keep them in casual modes (TDM, Point Break, etc.) for core mode integrity.

Coins: Cap at 2 per player; reset each round; to prevent "coin-advantage" in the second and final round.

3) LAN & Dedicated Servers
Support for LAN and dedicated servers for scrims and esports.

4) Practice Range 2.0
Stay in Practice Range while matchmaking.
Add the option to invite friends directly to the Practice Range.
Friendly Fire and 1v1/2v2/3v3 PvP arenas for combat training.
Unlimited ammo/instant cooldowns for gadget/specializations.

5) Customization & Flexibility
Mid-match: Change sights, crosshairs, and skins.
Class Swap (Casual Modes): Switch Class/Loadout in first 10s or on respawn.
HP Balance: Swapping to a higher HP class while revived should result in 50% HP upon revive to prevent hp advantage.
Audio: "Mute when minimized" but keep "Match Found" counting sounds.

just wanna feedback that point break is the most fun i've had in the game probably since it came out! it's so addictive i feel it's absolutely perfectly designed and balanced it's so great, i've had such a range of matches most of which have been incredibly memorable and fun. 8v8 is comedically chaotic, i'd even love to see more players on one map lmfao

The content in the game is getting dry. Almost 70% of the time in a season has no events going on. You guys need to rotate events more often; it's not enough to keep people interested.

Add a new PvE mode with dummy zombies. Players go through endless rounds, upgrading weapons and gadgets that are in the game.

The Nullifier gun can be upgraded to do an area attack, letting you walk through zombies.

Zombies can't walk through shields.

Etc.

You guys need to do something new and special.

I noticed the current player count is dropping. Add more to this game, please!

Since I’m unable to post pictures read below
.. not as if the people at embark will actually read this post
..

1st Cashout match

Player 1 = Level 16 (quit in round two when we were winning)

Player 2 = Level 87
Player 3 = Level 104

Second Cashout game


Player 1 = Level 10 (quit in first round after going 1-8

Player 2 = Level 49
Player 3 = Level 104

Third Cashout game


Player 1 = Level 8

Player 2 = Level 77 (4 kills)

Player 3 = Level 104 (15 kills)

Player 1 had no clue and was a light. 3 Kills, no revives, couldn’t find the cashbox etc. and 7 deaths.

Meanwhile player 2-3 trying to win while basically playing 2 vs 3 at every moment.

Fourth Game:

Player 1 = Level 11

Player 2 = Level 73 (Season 7 emerald)

Player 3 = Level 104 (Season 7-8 Emerald)

Why after spending several seasons would I want to be constantly matched with a level 8 or 10 when I’m 104. We all started somewhere but when I first starting playing I don’t recall ever getting matched with Level 100+

It’s ok every now and then but almost every match is exhausting.

Love you Embark, but I find it super lame that the latest Twitch drops require spending around 30 to get a couple gun wraps and a head. Why are we breaking from the watch-time method of getting drops? I don't like this at all, but if you must do it at least give us a premium outfit bundle that justifies the price. Or better, just don't do it, lol

Can Embark give us the option back to remove chat censor? It makes it very annoying to communicate even some innocent things because some random word in the sentence is censored like the Finnish word for "no" is "ei" and for some unknown reason the word "ei" is censored. Take notes from how Steam handles this, if you're offended by words on the screen, you can toggle it on, but forcing it on for everyone makes it very, very annoying and I don't need someone coddling me from OH NO WORDS ON THE SCREEN.

please revert the demat nerfs. plenty of gadgets can stop a cashout multiple times which seems to be the core argument for the nerfs. one of demats core mechanics was improved escapability but thats been severely limited by the reduced uses. medium literally has no purpose or identity right now. of course demat usage was going to spike when heal gun and turret were made useless - players will always find new strats, thats not cause for nerfing things.

the game doesnt expect you to look for a group on discord, youre kinda.. meant to have a group, of friends that are willing to play, also shouldnt you take a small break after your 9-5? i mean, its probably healthy to eat n stuff right? not immediately hop on a videogame? its probably also healthy not to be spamming the same feedback that embark wont read every six hours, especially if you have a job and also on the ruby grind.

3) PRACTIC RANGE 2.0

  • Add the option to invite friends directly to the Practice Range.
  • Stay in the Practice Range while matchmaking.
    This would allow players to enter the Practice Range with their team while queuing for a match.
    You could warm up, test loadouts, duel with your friends, all while the game searches for a match in the background, instead of just waiting indle in the menu.
  • Friendly Fire.
  • 1v1/2v2/3v3 PvP arenas to duel against your friends.
  • Unlimited ammo/instant cooldowns for gadget/specializations.

4) WEAPON VIABILITY & BALANCE PHILOSOPHY

  • I would love to see every weapon in THE FINALS become a viable choice. We should avoid situations where one weapon is clearly OP while others are completely useless. While every weapon will naturally have its pros and cons, the least used ones like Dual Blades, Model 1887, PIKE-556, Riot Shield, MGL32, Spear, Dagger need proper buffs/reworks.
  • Every weapon should be efficient enough to compete with the current meta. My proposal is to prioritize buffing weaker weapons instead of constantly nerfing the strong ones. Let’s bring the underperforming gear up to a competitive level first, and only then address the outliers that stand too far above the rest. This approach creates a more diverse and fun combat experience.

5) CUSTOMATIZATION & FLEXIBILITY

  • Mid-match (QUICKPLAY MODES): Switch Class/Loadout while dead on revive (not just via Coin). + Change sights/skins. In suitable modes, players can switch Class, Gear, or Skins anytime while dead, not only during Team Wipe or Coin use.
  • HP Balance: Swapping to a higher HP class while dead should grant only 50% HP upon first revive. This prevents health exploits and ensures fair play when switching classes mid-match.
  • Audio: "Mute when minimized" but keep "Match Found" and countdown alerts. This lets players alt-tab without missing the match.

6) LAN & DEDICATED SERVERS

  • Add LAN and Dedicated Servers for LAN PARTY.

On melee weapons use the reload button to introduce another ability to them.
I'd like seeing a spear throw for spear, shield bash for riot shield, and some sort of gap close for dual blades.
Rn majority of melee weapons are just a chase people down fest and you get very gimped when its melee vs melee. More options for movement through that would be nice too, there are just generally way too little fun combos to learn for melee and its usually just barebones. Some have tech most dont really and the tech is also just basic things like quickmelee combos or whatever... Please rework them or add things, ty

Even if it's not 40Âș,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. But sword alone is restricted from doing that? Why do you discriminate only against the sword by calling it an “exploit” when all melees and weapons 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.
If you want to solve the problem, then just remove multi-hit.
Even if spins wildly, they’d only hit one target. That solves the problem. The problem was solved without unfairly messing with the controls. Of course, dmg must also be reverted. Just revert it to S1.
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, Why are melees being treated unfairly? Just revert sword and melees nerf.

The Pike 556 currently feels weak against players rushing you down - using it in your loadout requires you to run a lot of gadgets to bail you out of close quarters situations. While I understand the decision to nerf its hipfire accuracy a few patches ago to prevent it from being good in CQB, I personally think that the damage reduction was already enough to bring it in line with other weapons. Now, it feels almost defenseless in close combat without help or good gadget usage.

Returning the Pike to its old hipfire accuracy would make it feel much more usable when fighting off attackers at close range. Alternatively, if it needs to stay weak in close range, the Pike should get buffed in other ways to make it a bit more comparable to other currently strong ranged weapons like the Repeater, Revolver, or FAMAS. (Perhaps giving it its old bugged headshot damage multiplier would be nice - although it wasn't intended, the extra headshot damage was very fun to play with).

I feel that you guys should implement something that can detect whether or not somebody left the game on purpose, or crashed.

Multiple times now the unreal engine has crashed on me, and although immediately jumping back into the game, I will get penalities for "afk."

How am I supposed to combat this? It's not a PC problem, it's unreal engine crashing which I have no control over.

The pain of getting to a final round in ranked just to get out of it and see I lost ranked score due to the engine crashing and now I (for some reason) have to pay for it is enough for me to not want to play the game for a while.

I don't know if this is something that can be fixed or implemented but it's a genuine problem

You don't think it's unfair to write off points from a team that lacks one or two players in a team. In fact, such a team is always in a losing situation. It's unlikely that such a team consisting of two people will be able to kill a team with three people, but even if you imagine that they are lucky and they kill them, it will be one-time luck. If we take into account the situation when one person leaves the round at the end of the round, partially deducting points is an acceptable system, but in a situation where the third player did not join at the beginning of the round and did not return until the end of the round, I think this can be considered disqualification due to the absence of a team member and you can not deduct points from a team that is just physically can't win

I’m so fucked up right now that Embark does absolutely NOTHING to fix this damn new mode and apparently hasn’t touched QA for a single second. I swear to God.
We already deal with the station being placed directly inside the enemy spawn point.
But now, after the so-called “fix”, the defender are place it just right at the spawn boundary, sitting behind spawning turrets you can’t reach, while you still take field damage when walking into the spawn.
I mean, for the love of God. Ban players immediately who exploit this shit.
And make the radius in which the station can be moved smaller. 20 meters max. Or make the spawns smaller!
This should have been the case since day one!

​I totally get that the game is dynamic and chaotic, but that’s exactly why I think Friendly Fire should be in Ranked. It would completely redefine the gameplay, forcing a more deliberate and thoughtful approach. Every decision you make would actually matter, giving the game much more depth and a more serious, professional tone. You’d have to think about every move — like where you're aiming your RPG, or being careful with specializations like Charge 'n' Slam so you don't accidentally crush your teammates.
​For FF to work, it should be well-designed: for example, teammates shouldn't trigger your mines by just walking over them, but they should take damage if the mine explodes due to an enemy or being shot. This rewards precision and moves the game away from mindless spamming toward a tactical experience.
​Also, they should definitely bring back the Wipe Penalty to the Cashout. This would make it a more relaxed version of the Ranked experience — with similar rules and stakes, but without the RP pressure and FF complexity. It makes more sense to fix the current Cashout foundation to align it with Ranked, rather than creating a whole new mode.

I am fine with everything, but for the love of god nerf the bs flamethrower goo tactic. It takes 0 skill, the toggle between flamethrower and googun should be longer, so you can't get perma goo stucked and flamed ticked every second. There is nothing you can do about once you get stuck. Pls make the toggle longer, so there is a chance you can actually walk or shoot them at least back, because now they just kill you without you being able to damage them.

Balance is really bad.
Audio is broken, enemies sometimes are right on you with no audio queues at all. Combined with invisibility, heavy specializations that lock u in place granting essentially a free kill + weapons that require no effort/aim to get kills it feels like bad to play.
Some of these are not necessarily op, but are unfun to play against because of how easy and free it is to get kills with no effort/skill.
For example:

  • cl40 spam;
  • heavy + anything really, just broken class in general. Mostly beause of how tanky they are + defensive utility, combine with the most broken weapons in the game. Even things like sledge, flame which are not OP are not fun to play against. Getting jumped by a heavy with no audio or in chaotic situations grants them essentially free kill with 0 effort/skill. and then u can't even get distance because things like goo gun/winch...
  • Invisibility should also be nerfed. Yes, invisible players are loud when audio works and visible when running, yet are completely invisible and silent if they stand still for 0.5sec.

Also console aimassist feels like aimbot. rotational aimassist and aimsnap shouldn't exist in crossplay lobbies.
We all know console are at a disadvantege due to insane latency + worse input. But compensating with "aimbot" is not the play, it feels soo wrong and unfair the way their crosshair snaps and tracks targets.

đŸ‘đŸ» But.... The big problem is that the player count is now so low that on consoles you sometimes have to wait over 10 minutes to find a match (without crossplay). Sometimes you wait even longer and can't find a match at all. This game desperately needs more players. It's just as pointless on PC if you always end up matched with the same teams in ranked. Please finally start advertising this game. The game is so good, but the player numbers are sadly low. If more players don't come to The Finals, this game will die in the next few years.

Since this new season started i have had a crap experience playing ranked cashout. I have played about 10-12 games (because i have a busy life) and out of those I've either had incomplete fills or player leaving mid game. Mind you this happened before, but it a big deal now because the game is sweaty no matter what mode you play so coming home from work and tryna play a few matches it already jacked up. I love this games but ive been have a shitty experience. I just played a match and both my teammates said they have to leave. Like why tf you playing ranked if you cant commit. And then im left holding the bag. And i lose RP every time this shit happens. How is that fair to me? Fix that junk. Im deadass not having a good time.

I still think the best possible change to the meta will be a massive nerf to damage from range for all short range and mid range weapons.

It will make sniper rifle actually useful/viable. It will stop this boring playstyle of sniping from high ground/ roofs of buildings with pistols and assault rifles.

Major yawnfest.

While the game is slightly less laggy for me now which is great, why on earth is the shading preload time twice/thrice as long pre s8... Also I keep losing my cosmetics and scope and keep having to put them back on once in a while :(

If you are dead and someone pings your revive token, have the game notify you that someone wants to rev you so that people dont waste coins in point break because they cant see that someone was running to their token

make the enemy boundary, on the defending team, on spawn point, a fixed distance from the box, this will punish people pulling the box away leading to there being no spawn boundary which means they can be spawn camped and no longer impossible to kill or steal

How is it i can be kicked from a game of point break when im literally dead? It wasn't even long enough for the inactivity timer or any warning popped up and it was 2 seconds from the match ending. So glad about 10 or so minutes of gameplay was just completely wasted because of that, thanks Embark. No challenge progress, no item or account xp, just a slap in the face essentially.

Sometimes people leave matches because their teammates are abusing them. Those players should not be punished for that.

On S9 release the games performance issues were very bad.

Thank you for addressing these Issues in the latest update the game is working better performance wise.
BUT I still get small freeze frames which are not as bad as before update but nonetheless noticable and affecting my gameplay.
I noticed the textures not loading properly when moving around the map so it might be that but i am very clueless and dont know if that really causes the issue.

would love to see this problem get sorted, thank you đŸ«Ą

now that all sponsor tracks are available to all players, let us see cosmetics from them in the style section similar to how we can see stuff from battle passes we haven't gotten yet

Even if it's not 40Âș,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. But sword alone is restricted from doing that? Why do you discriminate only against the sword by calling it an “exploit” when all melees and weapons 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.
If you want to solve the problem, then just remove multi-hit.
Even if spins wildly, they’d only hit one target. That solves the problem. The problem was solved without unfairly messing with the controls. Of course, dmg must also be reverted. Just revert it to S1.
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, Why are melees being treated unfairly? Just revert sword and melees nerf.

Basically the improved grapple spec: Anchor mode.

-Tap makes grapple start with Anchor mode (acts like lockbolt but crouching limits it to your current distance)
-Long press (if you're still holding the button when the grapple hits a surface) makes grapple start with Reel mode.
-You can transfer during it's activation once by tapping again.
(Reel into Anchor or Anchor into Reel)
-Tapping a second time or pressing long again releases prematurely.

Whats with anchor?
Allows you to swing from it adding a bit more evasion for an offensive use of grapple hook during fighting. Instead of Grapple being exclusive to before or after an engagement.
Examples:
Swing in and out of a window by anchoring yourself to the floor above, toggle reel back up once you're swinging out.
Anchor yourself to a bridge, jump off, shoot enemies while you're swinging, toggle reel back up before your momentum slows down.
Reel high at a wall or ceiling to close the distance to the enemies, toggle anchor to keep yourself swinging above them to shoot them more.
Reel at a ceiling, toggle anchor and hold crouch. You're now hiding like a spider waiting for the enemy to drop.

  • Player count will always be low because you're expected to "look for a group on discord". Literally 90% don't care to do that, I just want to hit the solo queue button immediately after my 9-5. MAKE SOLO QUEUE MATCH AGAINST Solo/Duos in Ranked and you won't have this problem. Other games have implemented this like League of Legends
  • Add Sri Lanka Flag
  • Prevent rank duos from bringing in someone with a 7.5k+ RS difference. (yes they go 0-10, 2-12 K/D)

I think the xp grind for weapons is ridiculous. 12 kills in tdm only rewards about 1k xp, and only about 2k xp from winning and getting 18 kills in cashout. Ks23 is my most used weapon and it's been stuck at level 5 for many seasons now. Whereas using the pyrogrenade for any a few sessions got it to level 7 immediately. Please rework the xp system for weapons and especially for semi-auto weapons to be able to earn at least 10k xp from winning cashout, and around 3k for winning tdm and other quickplay game modes

Also pls allow ks23 to ads while reloading thx

i dont even like playing sword but man what a cheesy ass weapon you turned it into, m1 spam is such a fucking cancer. and you cant even tell when you get hit cause the audio cue is so quiet your dead unless you see the light running up to you or hitting you. id rather the beyblade sword than whatever you turned this thing into. \

  • Add the projectile behaviour beyond max range for all guns, not just KS23 and SR84

  • Add 20 damage on direct hit with MGL32 projectiles, making it useful for breaking arena props and shields while also rewarding accuracy.

  • Add a mid-flight detonation trigger for MGL32 and CL40 with aim button, allowing for early detonation of the shots at 50% damage so that they can still br useful when out of position.

  • Make SR84's scope available for Pike .556 and vice versa.

  • Remove the 2 extra spins on Spear heavy attack, like the event.

  • Let dagger backstab also steal the disguise of the enemy for 5 seconds, like TF2 Spy.

  • Rework Cloaking Device into Phasing Device, allowing users to also phase through walls while being invisible for extra energy.

  • Allow making holes and craters on the ground with explosions and destructions as a form of trench warfare in open areas, just like Battlefield 6.

  • Add knockback on self-damage explosions to allow for tricks like Rocket Jumping and Nade Boosting, similar to TF2.

  • Add double jumping and wall running for all characters, similar to Titanfall.

  • Make burn damage from all fire stackable upto 2 times, not more than once per second. This would make Cerberus and Flamethrower actually useful in sustained fights.

  • Add a 20 damage explosion on burning any gas, making gas+fire actually useful for offensive purposes.

  • Allow players to bring a 2nd weapon or specialization in exchange for 2 equipment slots, suiting more simplistic playstyles.

  • Give LH1 to Medium and Pike .556 to Light class, better fit for their kit and also would actually see some use thereafter. LH1 can stand in as a more aggressive R.357 and Repeater, while Pike can be a more consistent alternative to SR84.
