Embark im here to sugest some improvement for us controller players, and no, i'm not asking for some sort of aim assist buff, what i'm really asking for, platically begging is an improvement for the joysticks and how they feel in game, a true 0 Deadzone would be so nice to have, micro ajustments would feel mutch more natural. Other nice improvemet would be a higher x/y sensitivity already is 750 why not go higher like 1000? let us roller player turn even faster plz. Thank you

Yeah that season 12 prediction might need to be higher a bit because we are talking about developers who are still “balancing”(changing only the damage) guns that have been in the game since launch and every time they do it the whole community begs them to revert it.

Not to mention the recent winch fixes don’t even work, servers are still trash, they made 0 changes for an entire season because of esports despite the community begging them to and the only thing they can reliably accomplish is updating the store and changing the UI.

This has been going on for 3 years already without any change to the approach to balancing(they still make changes depending on usage rather than logic) so I think it’s safe to say Embark has reached their maximum potential but I hope I‘m wrong.

the winch hook nerf was nice but honestly it changed nothing if you don't play heavy. I am sick and tired of all fights revolving around supressing the single fat man with a hook and the automatic shotgun. Its broken has been meta for a reason and it is time to just acknowledge that embark can't fix this with minor changes. Please remove winch hook for at least a season to work on a solution. Its the least fun thing in the game it needs to be reworked asap. Stuns are not fun in fps and stun gun got essentially removed for a good reason so now do the same to winch. Heavy will be fine with three abilities like the other classes.

With almost 3,000 hours in The Finals mainly in PowerShift. Here is my current thoughts that would drastically improve that game mode. Make challenges available to do in the practice range and not in Powershift unless they are driving the platform oriented. Take PowerShift off of the Casual list so we stop having players throwing the game and saying stop complaining, its casual. Powershift is a great game mode that is severely missed out on team strategic intense games. Use the practice range as an arcade mode and encourage nothing but objective based gameplay in Powershift. Have Scotty talk trash about the amount of Light Snipers and Lights in general that act like they have a platform allergy. Have a rating system at the end of a game similar to World Tour that rates your gameplay, but in PowerShift It needs to be only about the objective. A clear indicator of how the leaderboard is scored would be nice as well. Transparency would help players expose who is exploiting the point systems to get ahead with unchecked ridiculous point leads. Players that just jump on and off the platfom, and so on. This is an arena based fan fueled competition right.? Shouldn't we be able to view all of the top contestants when they are competing? I am just absolutely tired of playing the objective for 7 minutes straight, going 1 or 2 and 10 for my K/D, and having a 1300-2000+ objective score . Meanwhile my team will have a total of 300 objective collectively and accuse me of selling because I choose to go emote in the corner for the last 3 minutes while I hilariously narrate them just avoiding the platorm and watching the other team win while they might just keep jumping in one by one and dying. I still end up with the most objective in the loss but there is a cancerous mentality that's plaguing this game mode.

Boy oh boy do I love being on babysitting duty with the newest and slowest players every....game I swear there is some big brother sbmm and I'm tired of being put up against 4 man squads while I'm stuck with teammates that are next to the kid who has water in his brain but just smart enough to somehow have a job to buy a console

But I swear the moment if everyone was to get an equal sbmm everyone wouldn't be having fun then it would ultimately get reversed

I swear these devs don't play the game and all they do is hope to God we the players don't make them look bad for bashing on their game because they would rather satisfy the "esports players" (The unemployed) by nerfing the hammer but still allowing the light knife to have the same mechanic still (heavy backstab+quick melee)

Can wait for them to somehow find another reason to buff the lights again.Who knows maybe they'll just give the light an additional 100hp

Guys, the reason ranked isn’t finding you teammates is because no one plays it. It’s super uncompetitive and isn’t a fair reflection of people’s skill. There will be only less people playing everyday unless Embark decides it’s time to make a competitive ranked mode (though I think it’s way too late now). Also, the tournament held was an awful watch. (A team won because the 4th place team gave up).

Invisibility Cloak and Guardian Turret are the current worst abilities in the game, and for proper reasons. They provide nowhere near the utility or mobility that other abilities in their classes do, and as if the opportunity cost wasn't high enough the abilities themselves are way too weak and easy to counter. Pure numerical buffs wouldn't cover their biggest weaknesses and would make them oppressive only at lower ranks, harming their viability. Therefore, their base functionality needs to be reworked and enhanced to suit more playstyles. Here are some suggestions:

  1. Cloaking Device/Phasing Device: Phase through walls

Similar to the character Ghost from Marvel's Thunderbolts, allow for the cloak device to also allow movement through walls and other obstacles. Similar to Demat, but only works on the light using it and so cannot be used by teammates or enemies.

This ability will make the Cloak actually useful for breaching fortified teams silently, and also escape through walls much more easily. This would also make the light using it much more unpredictable, as they can attack from unexpected angles more easily.

  1. Guardian Turret/ Mini Sentry: 2 smaller turrets with lower health and damage

Let's face it, the turret doesn't really have a place in a "Dynamism Shooter" like The Finals where the battlefield can be reshaped in an instant. Even more so when it's just 1 slow turret that can be destroyed or even ignored by any team with a combined IQ higher than room temperature. And that's not even considering the equipments that directly stop the turret, like goo or reshaper or just blowing up the ground underneath.

Therefore, instead of having 1 big turret, make it 2 smaller turrets. They could be positioned in different spot to cover multiple angles, or even protect one another. This will make turret placement actually valuable and unlike simple numerical buffs which wouldn't really matter in ranked matches, would actually improve the functionality.

Hi everyone
I created a short anonymous survey to collect structured community feedback on Ranked in THE FINALS (matchmaking, solo queue, progression, etc.).

The goal is simply to summarize general player opinions in a neutral, data-driven way and share them as structured feedback.
After collecting responses, I plan to present a summary of the results to EMBARK to help illustrate how parts of the community currently experience Ranked.
This comes from a place of appreciation for the game — many of us enjoy THE FINALS and want to see it continue to grow and improve.

Survey link: https://forms.gle/XH7pwynbtaTUbG979
⏱ Takes about 3–5 minutes

Thanks to anyone who participates — the more responses, the more meaningful the feedback.
Maybe just saying stuff can be too much and not clear to EMBARK what the community wants so let's make a difference by showing actual data to them. Be a part of that change and let's improve THE FINALS !!

NOTE: So far I have 66 responses and I would like to thank the people who participated. I am planning to post the results after getting at least a 100 or more responses. so I would really love from everyone to join the survey and be a part of a change that we can present to EMBARK.

We are almost there guys. The data is already looking interesting, I can see some patterns of what the community is looking for, once we reach 100 responses I am gonna make some analysis and share it accordingly with you. 😁

Once again, I want to point out that exploits are still being used in Point Break, giving defenders an unfair advantage. This behavior is becoming more common.
This mode was clearly not designed to let players carry the capture point from its original spot to the moon. Normaly you cannot drag away the point with e.g. the wich claw, only after combine it with other heavy skills. On many maps, capture points are placed right next to the enemy spawn boundary. Defenders can sit than in spawn on high ground and shoot down onto the objective after the point was moved next to this boundary . In these situations, capturing the point is nearly impossible.
I alone have experienced this once when my own team abused it.
the attackers won, and honestly, I was impressed by how tactically coordinated and simply better they played than we did.
But this was the exception. That was a coordinated group. Even with voice chat, this level of coordination is already hard to achieve. With random teammates, it is basically impossible to contest moved point like this.

To move the cashout, players, especially Heavies, use Healing Orb together with Lock Bolt to transport the point quickly and with very little effort. The anti gravity field and Heavy hook and goo are also used for this.

And no, just playing another mode is not a valid excuse. I like the concept of Point Break.
But the concept is ruined when it can be exploited this easily.

Suggested fixes:
Reduce the size of spawn areas.
Do not place capture points directly next to spawn boundaries.
Fix the Lock Bolt and Healing Orb interaction. It is clearly not intended that the capture point can be dragged behind players like a balloon.
Limit how far the point can be moved. If necessary, add a visible boundary, for example a 10-20m blue circle acting as a soft barrier for the points.

This is not about small balance changes.
This is about preventing obvious exploits that break the entire mode what happens now every SECOND game.

1000 issues with your game, but today my focus is on weapon skins

I will no longer purchase weapon skins in this game until you give us a way to color the sights, or add the skin to the sight. Any skin that is colored is completely ruined by sights with black / grey color.
If you can't do this yourself, I think it's time to add another AI system to do the job for you.

Also, why do we have 10 black lower face masks, 1 yellow, and no other color options ????
Same goes for skirts. Very little options...

Hey Embark 👋

Quick question: are there any plans to bring back older bundles or limited-time items at some point?
Stuff like the Shak-50 Ospuze, for example.

There’s honestly a lot of past content I would instantly repurchase if it came back.
Right now it feels like there’s a pretty big “hidden demand” for older items that new players can’t access.

Just wanted to share that — loving THE FINALS btw.

Epic awesome ideas, and it's official and professional because I'm using bullet points

  • less balance patches (we need meta to settle even more)
  • more frequent store updates (skins = content)
  • Add a Sri Lanka flag so all these people who kiss their dad on the lips can shut up about it
  • more Ruby rewards, maybe make a super ruby for the top 10 players and give them something even more epic and cool
  • probably introduce more Esports, it's vital so the more we have the safer the game will be
  • buff light, ridiculous that they hate light so much and they are so bad. Im still dying by standing in the open in front of a heavy with a mini gun, NOT OK
  • nerf flamethrower, and mgl, and cl40 and winch claw holy OP
  • let us watch subway surfers on our tablets

Nerf V9S, it clearly didn’t need a buff prior to season 9, it was just not played because you guys made the 93R absolutely busted to the point picking anything else is throwing and you just made the same thing with V9S again. Nerf it, either cut the ammo by half or the damage or the rpm but do something. It’s not normal for a light to miss 15 bullets and still have enough ammo to kill a heavy in less than 2 seconds, reload time is also completely cracked.

Fix the ranked matchmaking. It’s still way too unfair.

Fix the winch, none of the change you made are actually working, you can still be winched while the winch is retracting and you can still be winched through object and walls.

Bring back thermal vision or give a proper counter to cloak.

BFR needs to go or at least be seriously reworked, you can’t give the 350 HP area denial class a pocket sniper, if there is one thing Heavy should be lacking, it’s long range lethality, Deagles were already a good long range option without being ridiculous, BFR was seriously not needed

Fix the Gateway, the bug were you have to throw it countless times for it to work despite being a valid spot is happening way to often, why is that even a feature in the first place ?

Potential solution to defenders dragging the grand vault to the border in point break: have the vault spawn a high health, attacker sided dome shield, similar to the old world tour event. Defenders wouldn't be able to shoot through, giving the attackers a better chance at taking the point and continuing the game.

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.

Please improve your matchmaking in all game modes. This is not fun for anyone.

If time to find a game needs to increase because of this it is alright, especially in ranked.

If the player pool is to small to make an acceptable fix consider to cut some game modes so the players that do play are forced together rather than spread out hug_friend

Hey Embark 👋

This is Day 1 of asking you to fix the CL-40...

1.Reduce the self damage multiplier from 1.35 to 1.25... (the high self damage is so trash...)

2.Increase the wall/structure damage so it takes 4 to 5 shots max... (its a grenade launcher dude.. why do i have to shoot it 6 to 7 times to break a small chuck of wall 💀)

  1. FIX THE BLAST DAMAGE RADIUS... (NOT RANGE.. RADIUS SHOULD BE FIXXED.. WHEN I SHOOT JUST 3 CM AWAY FROM THE PLAYER I SHOULD BE DOING 20+ DAMAGE INSTEAD OF BLOODY LESS THAN 5.. ITS A GRENADE LAUNCHER MAN)

That is all Embark.. Please fix this by end of season 9... Thx 🙏

random bag of gripes I guess

how come that at silver 2 (which took quite a bit of time and effort to reach) I get matched with not one but TWO people for whom it's their first ranked match ever, and am pitted against full 3-stacks? how am I, as a solo player, supposed to ever advance my rank like this? ranked matchmaking in this game is either nonexistent or at best abysmal, and infinitely frustrating.

the SR gain to loss ratio in ranked is extremely discouraging, especially given how hard it is to win games as a solo. after a single round 1 loss, you very often have to reach final round just to break even, and win the entire tournament if you want to actually progress. not to mention that even advancing to round 2 sometimes "rewards" you with an SR loss if you finish 4th. do you think this is fair?

in general, playing solo ranked as a light is a living nightmare.

winch claw makes me want to punch my monitor every time I get hit by it. how many "I win" buttons can you give a single class, the one with 350 hp to boot? meanwhile, OG stun gun was too OP to exist oh wait--

repeater and titan are ridiculous, there's virtually nothing you can do against them as a light. this is further compounded by the prevalence of aim assist/target snapping and xim cheaters.

footstep sounds are inconsistent and completely unhelpful as tactical information.

turret needs more love to make it at least worth picking so that all those inexperienced mediums who obstinately cling to it instead of choosing an actually useful spec can bring some value to a match. giving it some sort of detection tech would make it into a sort of limited one-point spin on recon senses and add a ton of utility, otherwise it's way too easy to play around it or just destroy it before it can even lock onto you.

# astral snow random bag of gripes I guess how come that at silver 2 (which took quite a bit ...

silver 2 is a low rank and hence being matched with unranked players seems expected? It is curious to me that you'd be surprised. I think the hidden starting rank is higher than that, on average you shouldn't be complaining.
The gain to loss ratio is 1:1. Yes, it's fair that you can lose RS in the top half of the tournament, anything else would necessarily be unfair. The system functions by computing the probabilities that each player will reach each position in the tournament and distributes RS based on this. If you are likely to get better than 4th place then 4th place is a below-expected score and you should be punished for that. For the exact same reason that it's fair that you can also gain RS if you didn't make it to 4th.

Solo queueing is a disadvantage but the rank you'll end up at is representative of how well you will do in matches. If it ranked you higher to compensate you'd only be against harder teams, rather than teams of more-cohesive-but-less-individually-skilled players. Playing as a team therefore helps for gaining a higher rank, but it won't make the matches actively easier (though possibly less frustrating, randoms can be a pain)

Nerf V9S. It is absolutely ridiculous that a tiny pistol like that should be overpowering the arena.
Here is my gripe with this cheap ass gun:

  • Damage is still high. yeah sure, it got nerfed to 38 damage after previously being 40, which means it takes ONE extra bullet to kill. That's nice, i guess, but that doesn't change anything considering it's other qualities.
  • Fire rate is fucking insane. A tiny pistol like that has a faster fire rate than pike, albeit a much slower fire rate than every other automatic weapon (thank god), but that makes it faster than half of the heavy hitting guns for all classes, let alone a good portion of the guns in general.
  • The magazine size needs to be so much less. It has the same amount of bullets as the SHAK does, but it takes less time and less ammo to kill. SHAK does have good stats and it does shoot two bullets at a time; however, V9S still does more damage (58), even if both SHAK bullets (15x2) were to hit.
  • Damage fall-off... bro. It's been acting better than the akimbos at range. Need I say more. Every moment in one of my matches, a light class has the chance to deal damage from afar, just five bullets will do close to a third of my health as a heavy.
  • Lastly, the reload time. Holy shit. I can't tell you how many times I've lost cashouts because it took like half a second or some bs to fully or tactically reload a 20 BULLET MAGAZINE.

You will probably call skill issue on me, but I KNOW damn well you have had the exact same experience against players who use V9S.

Hi Embark, I’m a big fan of The Finals and I really love your TV‑show style universe.

I wanted to suggest an idea: a small 3–4 hour story mode for each season.
Each season could tell a narrative arc about the sponsors, the teams, and the behind‑the‑scenes of the show.

It would add more depth to the universe, create attachment to the characters, and also attract players who enjoy solo experiences.

Thanks for your work, keep it up.

Other nice improvemet would be a higher x/y sensitivity already is 750 why not go higher like 1000? let us roller player turn even faster plz. Thank you

The game has weirdly antagonistic elements to its player base. Like it's an fps, some friction is to be expected and can even be okay between the players but when it seems that things can be construed as directed at players is when it's a little fuzzy. The game itself despite it's state is unique enough to stand alongside and not have to compete with others in the genre and honestly when it fires on all cylinders offers an experience unlike the others that makes it in my book probably the best fps out there. So I do hope things get cleaned up within the next few seasons and design choices regain their focus and perhaps stop conflicting each other, performance issues, exploits and other self inflicted issues can be taken more seriously and the game can stop getting in its own way cuz I'd be curious to see how good this game could get.

Also the buildings, they are cardboard these days i feel like a overenthusiastic fart or a surgically placed sneeze could bring one down.

Has anyone mentioned making thermal vision into a thermal drone?? It could be great for getting info but at the cost of one light player sitting still and not able to engage in combat.

Fix ranked.. what most people loyal fans have asked for seasons now that you have done quite literally fucking nothing about. You did add a $30 premium battle pass though! Can the extra money from that not hire someone with just a tad bit of common sense!? Solo q ranked is nearly impossible. I was diamond last 2 seasons.. I don’t have my friend that plays anymore but that should not be a excuse for a rank lobby.. every other game has this figured out.. once again common sense issue. but this is every other game.. the one guy was A LEVEL 15. Like is this not common sense of what the issue is!? It’s always been bad but this season is on another level.. like I’m getting teammates that don’t even understand how cashout works. Fucking laziness on your part. The audacity to add $30 battle pass though

Never seen so many third parties since this season. Its literally just entire cashout matches of being dog piled. Return plug bonus, give incentive to starting cashouts over bodying the other team. making it more lucrative to clean up the 2nd cashout after yours finished is no fun for everyone else. Punish the thirds by reinstating a plug bonus meta, it was way more fun. This is legitimately my favorite game and it pains me to see how hard the devs cater to the top 1% players who are unemployed loosers. Key example how you mutilated the sledge.

grapple will never be meta because gateway is in many ways a better grapple, while also allowing you to use a better spec than grapple with it. Invis bomb also steps on the toes of invis as a spec. Therefore I propose that invis spec, gains the functionality of invis bomb, and invis bomb is removed. Meanwhile, gateway becomes light's 4th spec, making it so that light's can't have their cake and eat it too, with both gateway and evasive dash, and letting lights have more choices in their gadgets, rather than being obligated to take the extremely strong team utility gadget of gateway. Finally, evasive dash still needs nerfs to bring it in line with grapple, gateway and invis bomb, so give each charge 15s cd so that it can't be spammed with tehe same uptime it currently can be, making dash lights more punishable.

Hey Embark 👋

This is Day 2 of asking you to fix the CL-40...

1.Reduce the self damage multiplier from 1.35 to 1.25... (the high self damage is so trash...)

2.Increase the wall/structure damage so it takes 4 to 5 shots max... (its a grenade launcher dude.. why do i have to shoot it 6 to 7 times to break a small chuck of wall 💀)

  1. FIX THE BLAST DAMAGE RADIUS... (NOT RANGE.. RADIUS SHOULD BE FIXXED.. WHEN I SHOOT JUST 3 CM AWAY FROM THE PLAYER I SHOULD BE DOING 20+ DAMAGE INSTEAD OF BLOODY LESS THAN 5.. ITS A GRENADE LAUNCHER MAN)

ALSO NERF THE BLOODY TURRENT

  1. IT LOCKS ON TOO QUICKLY

  2. DAMAGE IS TO HIGH.. REDUCE A LITTLE PLEASE

  3. REDUCE ITS HITPOINTS ONG

  4. TURRENT REDEPLOY COOLDOWN SHOULD BE MORE.. (ILL BREAK ONE AND ANOTHER ONE WILL SPAWN BRO WTH IS THAT CRAP)

That is all Embark.. Please fix this by end of season 9... Thx 🙏

Nerf repeater. Shoots to fast, to much dmg and Aimbot weapon. 8 bullets, 8X dmg each shot?
Nerf Titan, 90 dmg per Shot?
Nerf Winch. Doesnt make sense for me.
Grab, shot and dead. Nothing You can do against it, just runnig with shield all the time might help. "oh shut, my aim ist bad and my enemy is about to kill me, 'grab', shot infront of me and melee. Puh, killed him, easy".
If you keep doing things, like it is at moment, high oneshot dmg weapons, we can play soon CS2 or Valorant in the finals.

And why am I all the time in Difficult Turnaments with my lower mate?
I am just loosing instead of winnig points. I am 30k Plat at moment and playing against rubys/dias? How on earth should i have fun or the possibility to get better, if I get oneshoted by repeater, deagles, titan, rpg, cl40 (rpg with magazine).
And befor any says, its skill. The Scoreboard tells you which class does most dmg and kills and its stupid at the moment. Most of the time its just the heavies, cause of, rpg, winch and any weapon the've got, maybe not spear.
Had so much fun but its getting destroyed by weapons with 88+ dmg per bodyshot over the complete Map.

  • more Ruby rewards, maybe make a super ruby for the top 10 players and give them something even more epic and cool
  • probably introduce more Esports, it's vital so the more we have the safer the game will be
  • buff light, ridiculous that they hate light so much and they are so bad. Im still dying by standing in the open in front of a heavy with a mini gun, NOT OK
  • nerf flamethrower, and mgl, and cl40 and winch claw holy OP
  • let us watch subway surfers on our tablets
  • more midriff and cat tails
  • give gadgets unlimited charges until I land it, I keep missing lock bolts for example and I don't get any value out of it when I do which is ridiculously stupid, so allowing me and I bet tons of others get more chances will be healthy for user experience

Embark, what exactly is the plan here?

Because right now the VS9 is turning this game into a shooting gallery where Lights get to play sniper with a god dam pistol. I am getting erased as a Heavy from across the map. Heavy. The class that is supposed to be slow, tanky, and dangerous if you let it get close. Except I never get close, because I’m already dead.

This is not “high skill gameplay.” This is bad math.

You buffed the VS9, and surprise, surprise, now Heavy and Medium weapons feel like wet cardboard. The supposed trade-off of Light being fragile doesn’t matter when they can delete you before durability even enters the conversation. Mediums are stuck in the middle doing nothing particularly well, which is impressive in the worst way.

If the design goal is “everyone should play Light,” just put it in the patch notes and save us the trouble. Otherwise, this needs tuning. Damage falloff, recoil, range. Something. Anything.

Right now, class balance isn’t balance. It’s a punchline. And not a funny one.

I mean I personally have had no issue dealing with the V9S, Marksmen weapons for medium and heavy can pretty easily contest in a even fight. And if the issue is getting shredded when the light flanks you or catches you by surprise that's their intended bread and butter

Grap : faster movement when grappling
Dash : Keep it that way only for melee weapon and remove a charge for every decent ranged weapon light got
Healing : well 1 source of healing at once can't accumulate it would be fine
Demat slighlty bigger couldown per charge
Turret : faster reactivity
Charge : longer charge less maneuverability
Goo : make Trophy more off a counter for it cuz right now it's the reverse, and maybe a bigger cooldown between each shot

Start temp banning players for abandoning matches in all gamemodes.

The quitter epidemic is real and drives new players away by creating unfair situations and allowing toxic players to “leverage” their very presence in the game against teammates they may not like.

You would gain more players by having consistent teams than you’d lose by temp banning crybabies who can’t lose a match.

The strategy of moving the point in point break using healing emitter + locking bolt is getting pretty annoying, I already talked about it here but here's an example, We were easily winning this match and by the last point we had 40 tickets. The last box was moved by the enemy team and this one in particular was almost impossible to attack without having everyone dying because the box was in the open. I tried moving the box back to our side but they instantly moved it back to theirs. this fight dragged for several minutes until we all spent our tickets and it was really really annoying.

Flamethrower isn’t op it can seem op in certain situations but definitely not op. If a weapon is op it would be meta for the season. For example the meta for light is v9s why that is because a range buff and now you have a pocket sniper with a 1s reload. If anything flamethrower needs a buff. Cl40 that gun is absolutely garbage it got nerfed so hard which it didn’t deserve it. Countering the cl40 is easy and I’m a heavy main even before the nerfs. Mgl can be good if you know how to use it but doesn’t need nerfed. Dashes needs to be nerfed period. And obviously you don’t know how to play light. Lights are your flankers not your sit in one spot and hope that your not going to get shot.

Hi everyone
I created a short anonymous survey to collect structured community feedback on Ranked in THE FINALS (matchmaking, solo queue, progression, etc.).

The goal is simply to summarize general player opinions in a neutral, data-driven way and share them as structured feedback.
After collecting responses, I plan to present a summary of the results to EMBARK to help illustrate how parts of the community currently experience Ranked.
This comes from a place of appreciation for the game — many of us enjoy THE FINALS and want to see it continue to grow and improve.

Survey link: https://forms.gle/XH7pwynbtaTUbG979
⏱ Takes about 3–5 minutes

Thanks to anyone who participates — the more responses, the more meaningful the feedback.
Maybe just saying stuff can be too much and not clear to EMBARK what the community wants so let's make a difference by showing actual data to them. Be a part of that change and let's improve THE FINALS !!

NOTE: So far I have 71 responses and I would like to thank the people who participated. I am planning to post the results after getting at least a 100 or more responses. so I would really love from everyone to join the survey and be a part of a change that we can present to EMBARK.

We are almost there guys. The data is already looking interesting, I can see some patterns of what the community is looking for, once we reach 100 responses I am gonna make some analysis and share it accordingly with you. 😁

Biggest problem now isn't balance related (except for the V9S) it feels like they've absolutely messed up the spawns again on essentially every map but especially Fangwai. My last 5 or 6 matches we wiped a team -> moved the box to point and a team would spawn closer to to the point than us. You shouldn't get rewarded for getting wiped.

Matchmaking in this game is a joke right now. There's too few players, so I go from literal bronze teammates to ruby lobbies in 2 games.

The Finals needs a reset, and a 2.0 release after some months to gain momentum. This is painful. I can't even imagine being a soloQ new player rn 🤣 seriously it's bad and the game deserves a 2nd shot2

  • 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)
  • Stop pairing golds with rubies, like wtf, i.e., 28k golds vs 50k current rubies

Now that the riot shield model lines up with the actual hitbox (good change), the riot's defensive capabilities are effectively nerfed as it is now much easier to shoot the feet/arms of a riot player. Realistically riot needs some sort of defensive or utility buff, since buffing the offense makes it annoying to deal with (season 7 giga buff for example). Either make the shield itself a bit bigger so that your are generally less exposed, or change the way it is held during ADS so that you are fully covered from the front (i.e. make it actually worth right clicking) - current state your feet are MORE exposed when you hold the shield up to block. It's really bad.

none of it coming off as satire to you is baffling. the line about subway surfers, sri lankan people kissing their dad on the lips, super ruby. but hey guys hes super serious about nerfing flamethrower
now back to serious matters

Epic awesome ideas, and it's official and professional because I'm using bullet points

  • less balance patches (we need meta to settle even more)
  • more frequent store updates (skins = content)
  • Add a Sri Lanka flag so all these people who kiss their dad on the lips can shut up about it
  • more Ruby rewards, maybe make a super ruby for the top 10 players and give them something even more epic and cool
  • probably introduce more Esports, it's vital so the more we have the safer the game will be
  • buff light, ridiculous that they hate light so much and they are so bad. Im still dying by standing in the open in front of a heavy with a mini gun, NOT OK
  • nerf flamethrower, and mgl, and cl40 and winch claw holy OP (flamethrower is op because its used by massive losers)
  • let us watch subway surfers on our tablets
  • more midriff and cat tails
  • give gadgets unlimited charges until I land it, I keep missing lock bolts for example and I don't get any value out of it when I do which is ridiculously stupid, so allowing me and I bet tons of others get more chances will be healthy for user experience
    Embark you are doing such an epic and amazing job with the finals and not running it to the ground in any way, shape, or form. Keep up this epic job

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

add a wheel with ai generated balance changes (2 nerfs, 2 buffs to every item in the game) that gets spun 4 times per week - that way we have a shifting meta and a fully functional balance team instead of the current ghost town situation over at embark hq (too busy arcing they raiders to focus on the finals)

MODEL is good but its just a bit INCONSISTENT, i feel like maybe if it hit a lil more consistent damage wise, itd be better. But i feel like sometimes im anticipating it to kill someone w/40 health left, but then it grazes them for 12dmg

Then later in the game, i swear ill hit a similar shot later and it does 60 dmg to a target in similar circumstances

Maybe thats what you guys intended to balance it- but maybe we are ready for the consistant Model again

Hey everyone,

I recently started playing The Finals, and the first couple of matches were a lot of fun. But after that, it just turned into complete chaos. I'm only level 10, and I'm constantly being matched against players who are level 175 or even higher. That just doesn’t make sense for a new player who’s still trying to learn the game, the mechanics, and the different playstyles.

Unfortunately, I ended up quitting because it stopped being fun mainly due to SBMM. In my opinion, it's one of the worst things ever added to gaming. I totally understand having SBMM in Ranked that’s where it makes sense. But having it in casual or quickplay modes just ruins the experience.

Please remove SBMM from normal modes and keep it only in ranked. Let casual be casual.

Hey Embark 👋

This is Day 3 of asking you to fix the CL-40...

1.Reduce the self damage multiplier from 1.35 to 1.25... (the high self damage is so trash...)

2.Increase the wall/structure damage so it takes 4 to 5 shots max... (its a grenade launcher dude.. why do i have to shoot it 6 to 7 times to break a small chuck of wall 💀)

  1. FIX THE BLAST DAMAGE RADIUS... (NOT RANGE.. RADIUS SHOULD BE FIXXED.. WHEN I SHOOT JUST 3 CM AWAY FROM THE PLAYER I SHOULD BE DOING 20+ DAMAGE INSTEAD OF BLOODY LESS THAN 5.. ITS A GRENADE LAUNCHER MAN)

also many said cl40 is balanced and i have worst aim... i have 600+ hours with cl40 and its just that once every 5 to 10 games there this one shot ill miss but it rlly isnt a miss its apprently a bug.. i forgot to record but ill try to get it... SO what happened was i hit a light directly on its face... it did no damage to the light and apparently the light was so close to me ofc i did self damage to myself and eventually died... this led us to lose the game.. I WILL MAKE SURE if i can get this bug again on my clips ill fs post it and then comment again why cl40 is sometimes just broken in a bad way...

Also I GOT A TON OF HATE LMAO calling me noob indirectly for asking to nerf the turret.. but i do understand.. turret ALONE is not that strong.. ofc what i meant by nerfing turret was its ability to be spammed and when 3 mediums just keep spawning turrets with glitch mines everywhere..there is lit nothing one can do...

That is all Embark.. Please fix this by end of season 9... Thx 🙏

youre buffing bow bc its least popular???

if popularity only depends on power. why is the sniper so popular then?

v9s has always been strong asf. why was it so unpopular for so long?

only ranked sweats care abt power, and choose their weapon based on it (nthn wrong w that).

yo guys dont get the concept of fun.

Really embark? Still no change to winch is insane. As a medium main, this feels absurd. It’s been two seasons now that winch has reigned supreme without contest. What am I supposed to do? I play model. A shotgun. I’m being forced off a gun to counter winch every time because 90% of heavys run winch since it’s Meta? At least add a gadget or SOMETHING LITERALLY ANYTHING TO COUNTER WINCH AND MAYBE dash. Love you embark. I’ve spent a shit ton of money on you guys because I love the game. Stop balancing the game based on the top 15% and focus more on the masses. The 15% will get you esports attention now. The masses will keep you going. Take Fortnite for an example.

Finally, these dumb clowns have started to focus on the performance of the game.

Embark hire me as the head of the medical department so that I can whip stupid imbeciles and make the game great. P.S. I have repeatedly written about the performance problems of a game that is not aimed at the mass level of the average iron population of the target audience of the game. Good luck to all

Feedback on the Medium nerfs (CB-01/FAMAS): I understand tuning them down up close, but adding extra dispersion (including while standing still/crouched) and increasing initial burst recoil makes Medium weapons feel less consistent rather than simply less dominant.
The CB-01 already requires accuracy and heavily punishes even one missed shot, variance on top of that feels rough. Medium is the support class and consistency matters a lot for keeping it just as attractive vs Light/Heavy.
I’d love to see more incentives to keep Medium rewarding and viable as a support pick.

As someone who mains bow for over a year now, I would like to say that the bow buff was not necessary. I liked how underrated and underestimated the bow was. It wasnt at all useless if you knew how to use it. People just like using normal guns more than gimmick weapons like dagger and bow. Thank you for making my weapon better but I hope it doesn’t turn out to be like that one time you overtuned throwing knives and every light was able to do well with it. If you do decide to nerf it, just put it back to what it was before and dont nerf it more to where it becomes useless. Thanks in advance ❤️

This weapon here embark.... when are you gonna address any of the issues with it?

There's literally been multiple video's showing how inconsistent it is, its literally that bad that the backstabs just straight up don't register despite it actually hitting, THERES EVEN COMPILATIONS OF THIS FFS.

Meanwhile the bow is supposedly one of the weaker weapons, yet somehow I see more bow players than a few other weapons being used, dagger included, i haven't seen cerb in a hot minute for instance.

With dagger its like the game is rolling the dice on hit chance or something.
I don't even remember the last time dagger even got an update, its been that long and long overdue.

Hello, devs, I have an idea for how to improve the sword experience for both those playing with it and those playing against it. Could you please reduce the primary attack damage from 88 to 75? After this change primary attack will still kill light players after two hits, medium players after three hits and quick melee, and heavy players after four hits and two quick melee. Because of this, running, pressing Evasive Dash, and spamming the standard attack will no longer work. Sword players will have to combine good movement, primary attacks, secondary attacks, and quick melee to remain useful on the battlefield. This will make sword play more challenging and interesting, and will also improve the attitude of other players towards sword players, because the way many new sword players currently play, running and spamming the primary attack, is disgusting.

Mediums arsenal is smaller than one would believe it to be if the goal is to actually win the game.
The nerfs and explanations for them to the most popular choices (Famas and Repeater) were distasteful.
Those weapons simply have no competition aside from FCAR.

Every other medium weapon has something that keeps it from seeing the light of the arena.
Shotguns do laughably low damage, especially Cerberus for a double barrel cousin without the blitz mobility.
Revolver is gimped against light class.
Pike got gimped against all the classes without its 50 damage. Note how almost nobody plays it anymore.
AKM lost its big mag appeal and the hipfire is abysmal.
P90 is a peashooter the moment someone steps out of the hug zone.

Melee and CL40 operate differently so its not easy to compare.
Popularity is not everything.

Hi Embark, I’m a big fan of The Finals and I really love your TV‑show style universe.

I wanted to suggest an idea: a small 3–4 hour story mode for each season.
Each season could tell a narrative arc about the sponsors, the teams, and the behind‑the‑scenes of the show.

It would add more depth to the universe, create attachment to the characters, and also attract players who enjoy solo experiences.

Thanks for your work, keep it up.

Plz never again give suggestions. Light invis is fine as is man it does not need to be back to where it was before. Repeater and FAMAS NEEDED this nerf bad, they absolutely demolished from any high ground and close range. AKM needs better hip fire and slightly better damage to counter the p90, not more ammo. Cerb and Model RAN the meta not long ago and were terrible. Shotgun metas are so shit and you should play Fortnite if you wanna run shotgun a bunch. Mediums don’t need buffs across the board, they need to bring down heavy and lights into line…specifically heavy. Winch needs to be removed, mesh shield reverted, rpg reverted, shak nerf, and BFR nerf. Maybe even flame if they’re feeling extra special.

Here are my 4 main ideas, all music themed!

Record player Lewis gun: the magazine is now a record, inspect animation plays music!

Cassette tape throwing knives:
Upon inspect, one cassette is turned into a Walkman, with the remaining tape inserted, playing music.

Trombone skin for FAMAS:
ADS while shooting causes trombone noises to play!

Drum sticks skins for dual blades: inspect makes you do an epic drum solo with holographic drum pads that appear out of thin air!

@harsh cliff
i did the survey and i have to say its not really helpful.

the first half consists of opinions, whose answers should be self explanatory, or asking for feelings of the player, that arent helpful at all bc personal feelings are more often influenced by wayyy too many variables to tell you abt something specific than not.

the second half consists of solution orientated questions, whose answers are either non optimal, too simple, and lack the option to write in your own words…

forgive me for not offering solutions. although id love to create a survey myself and put a lot of thought process into it. (im on it alr)

im looking forward to your analysis though!✌🏻

famas and repeater nerf needed. repeater needs a greater nerf imo. bow buff? balancing based of usage stats is dumb. light main and i think the bow was fine. niche weapon for people who want to dedecate the time for that. no bfr nerf and no winch nerf is still crazy to me. stop the power creep

really wish you guys would work on hit reg of single fire guns, game constantly registers my shots like a full second late as if the enemy was already out of my crosshair. It's egregious with the double-barrel when a shot that is perfectly center mass does 0-12-24 damage. one game im hitting all my shots and destroying dudes, the next game nothing registers. I have 2 shots to kill my enemy and more than half the time they don't register some games.

Also, the bow can literally fire faster than the double-barrel now too, so that's great...

please consider not solely relying on weapon usage as a way to balance. bow was not used because its difficult to get value out of and buffing it just makes it less skillful and niche. not every weapon needs to be meta and some are fine to just be niche and high skill

Embark,

You need to seriously consider find a new team member to handle balance changes, this is just getting silly.

The reason the CB-01 Repeater was overperforming is because players, especially on M&K who don't have aim assist, are favoring weapons with little to no recoil. The lack of recoil was the main reason the shotguns were so popular in the past. See a pattern here?

Instead of nerfing the FAMAS, you should have reduced the recoil on the FCAR and AKM. That would have brought all 4 weapons closer together. Also, increasing the .357 damage from 74 to 75 damage would make it actually tourney worthy like the other weapons.

Lastly, if you were willing to increase the ADS time on the CB-01 Repeater, why the hell haven't you increased it on the SR-84 sniper ~~rifle ~~shotgun? Its honestly cringe seeing player abuse the crap out of the SR-84 sniper rifle at close range.

Why are you complaining about cl40 mgl and flamethrower. Flamethrower has the lowest ttk mgl has bouncy nades which needs to bounce before exploding and cl40 got nerfed a lot and yet you still complain. Do you not know how to counter these weapons? Flamethrower isn’t op with winch. You might think that because you most likely play light in quick cash or tdm instead of complaining why don’t you try those weapons for yourself in RANKED LOBBIES and if you still think it is op then by all means come on into this discord server and complain like a redditor

Hi, terrific game, but the problem of being stuck on loading screen, or in lobby is infuriating. I had it on several computers and in several location. My present setup can load 1 out of 4 times. Tonight, I found that disabling IPv6 seems to solve the problem. The problem is ongoing for years. Arc Raider runs very well, idk what is wrong with the Finals, but it needs to change. I leave the game regularly because of it and come back only to find it has not changed. Several computers, several configs, several places...

Do the same thing for splash damage weapons! This would help people using things like MGL, frags, or RPG where a hit marker could mean 1 damage.

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.

# umbral summit Once again, I want to point out that exploits are still being used in Point Brea...

Embark, are you even listening?
This is not just a small issue, this is a game-breaking problem.
Do you even handle cases involving players we report for this kind of behavior, or are we supposed to accept that the mode an all the exploits are as broken as it is?
So I can just leave the round while on the attacker side, to get around who put me on defense, just 4 troll and piss off other players, and completely ruin their stats? Cool. Should I do?

"Dev Note: Grand Vault manipulation has become a fairly negative experience for many players in Point Break mode since the mode launched and it’s something we’re keen to reduce to ensure more enjoyable matches.

all im saying is this patch did nothing, the repeater "nerf" does about as much as tissue paper vs a tsunami. Please just put the damage to 84 where i was fine and didnt need a change. Honestly tho why do you guys revert changes, you over buff the v9s, all good just walk it back, think of another buff for it. its the same thing with the repeater its been running the game for a season now it was balanced at 84 damage put it back to 84 damage.

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). The M2 buff is necessary, because sword will be incredibly underpowered without the multihit if it stays at the same damage. For reference, this puts the sword at a position weaker than in Season 1, where it was already an underpowered and rarely picked weapon.

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

Take reports more seriously. If I report someone I don't want to be requeued with that same player in any quick play game modes. I understand if your playing ranked, and there's a limited number of players why you can't do that. But if I suspect someone is cheating and your anti-cheat doesn't do its job, quit putting me in the same lobbies. It's honestly a horrible thing you can't block players.

I don't think this is the best idea. I think all that needs to be done is lower the standard attack damage to 75, which would make the sword challenging enough to use while still having impact, but the standard attack would lose its punch. Consider that if you remove the multi-hit from the secondary attack, the sword would actually become worse, because instead of dealing a lot of damage to the entire enemy team, you'd be dealing damage to a single player. In high-ranked lobbies, players play as a team, meaning after dealing damage to just one enemy without support (because you're playing closer to the enemy than your teammates), you'll simply die, and the only impact you'll leave behind is one red-hot enemy. Besides, I absolutely don't see the point in leaving the multi-hit on the standard attack; it deals damage at point-blank range, and only one enemy is in close proximity to you, because players aren't standing point-blank. Instead of your debuff, it's better to just make the sword a little weaker (as I wrote above), so that it simply doesn't irritate you, and at the same time you won't be damaging entire teams, you just need to play more cooperatively with your teammates and rely more on them.

Epic awesome ideas, and it's official and professional because I'm using bullet points

  • less balance patches (we need meta to settle even more)
  • more frequent store updates (skins = content)
  • Add a Sri Lanka flag so all these people who kiss their dad on the lips can shut up about it
  • more Ruby rewards, maybe make a super ruby for the top 10 players and give them something even more epic and cool
  • probably introduce more Esports, it's vital so the more we have the safer the game will be
  • buff light, ridiculous that they hate light so much and they are so bad. Im still dying by standing in the open in front of a heavy with a mini gun, NOT OK
  • nerf flamethrower, and mgl, and cl40 and winch claw holy OP (flamethrower is op because its used by massive losers)
  • let us watch subway surfers on our tablets
  • more midriff and cat tails
  • give gadgets unlimited charges until I land it, I keep missing lock bolts for example and I don't get any value out of it when I do which is ridiculously stupid, so allowing me and I bet tons of others get more chances will be healthy for user experience
    Embark you are doing such an epic and amazing job with the finals and not running it to the ground in any way, shape, or form. Keep up this epic job

im done with this game, ive been playing since season 1, on console, it has gotten too sweaty to keep up. I keep playing against, top 500, or the highest ranked in every game mode, this meta also sucks literally everybody plays with the same weapons and gadgets, why have the option if your forced to play meta. If you dont play meta your chances at winning is slim, i remember when this game had variety, now its a sweat feast every game, with the most dominant ranged meta since launch, game no longer rewards creativity, only aim\movement (pc players are at a huge advantage) and third partys this game is losing its casual and console player base, it will never be big and gain players if it stays on this path it will only die slowly ( the gadgets in meta have been the same since launch why cant we get variety)

Thanks for filling up the survey, I am not sure if it's not helpful or not but at least it does show some of the frustration that people are facing during ranked. maybe for us it's self explanatory but as we can see embark is not doing anything about it. so maybe by us showing data would force embark to do at least something that the community is really asking for. I could have spent more time working on making it more detailed but I am not working for Embark, I am just doing it out of love to the game. If I am getting paid then I will spend more than enough time one it. but again thanks for filling it up and looking forward to checking your survey. 🙂
I tried to focus on ranked but there are many aspects that would be taken into account. I did work as a data analytics before and I believe that this is a good start.
I don't want to spend too much time on it and then maybe I will see that Embark will not give the data any attention then I did it for nothing. 😄

Casual gameplay its fine in its current state but as soon as you go against higher skill players it crumbles. Spamming left click doesn't bring any joy to the weapon and the ttk of other weapons far exceeds the sword. There are many changes that could fix the weapon but i don't believe the current iteration is it.

i feel like dagger light swing should have a smidge more damage.
it's also really annoying that it's so easy to miss left clicking the target you're literally nose to nose with, i'm not sure if this is a hitbox or a hit reg issue, but it happens way too often

Hi everyone
I created a short anonymous survey to collect structured community feedback on Ranked in THE FINALS (matchmaking, solo queue, progression, etc.).

The goal is simply to summarize general player opinions in a neutral, data-driven way and share them as structured feedback.
After collecting responses, I plan to present a summary of the results to EMBARK to help illustrate how parts of the community currently experience Ranked.
This comes from a place of appreciation for the game — many of us enjoy THE FINALS and want to see it continue to grow and improve.

Survey link: https://forms.gle/XH7pwynbtaTUbG979
⏱ Takes about 3–5 minutes

Thanks to anyone who participates — the more responses, the more meaningful the feedback.
Maybe just saying stuff can be too much and not clear to EMBARK what the community wants so let's make a difference by showing actual data to them. Be a part of that change and let's improve THE FINALS !!

NOTE: So far I have 83responses and I would like to thank the people who participated. I am planning to post the results after getting at least a 100 or more responses. so I would really love from everyone to join the survey and be a part of a change that we can present to EMBARK.

We are almost there guys. The data is already looking interesting, I can see some patterns of what the community is looking for, once we reach 100 responses I am gonna make some analysis and share it accordingly with you. 😁

Took a break for Christmas season, didn't play for almost 3 weeks.

I come back and jump into some TDM to warmup. Not bad, still some heavy bias but less winch use. Still a little unfair.
V9S is in a very good place, well balanced, felt good to be able to use my main again.

But then I queued a ranked match

For reference I'm last season diamond, now high gold after placement.

Instantly triple stacked ARN lights are beaming me across the map. Can't even tell if they're cheating cuz your replay system is kinda ass. Griefed out second round. 4th. Lost RS. Awesome. Waste of 30 minutes.

Next match, FCAR cheater who hits nothing but headshots. New account. Goes 16-2. Out first round, lost 827 RS.

Its even worse than before.

The utter incompetency of your anti-cheat truly astounds me. I love this game to death, but if this continues I don't think I will ever enjoy another match again.

Fix. Your. Goddamn. Anti-Cheat.

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.

Epic awesome ideas, and it's official and professional because I'm using bullet points

  • less balance patches (we need meta to settle even more)
  • more frequent store updates (skins = content)
  • Add a Sri Lanka flag so all these people who kiss their dad on the lips can shut up about it
  • more Ruby rewards, maybe make a super ruby for the top 10 players and give them something even more epic and cool
  • probably introduce more Esports, it's vital so the more we have the safer the game will be
  • buff light, ridiculous that they hate light so much and they are so bad. Im still dying by standing in the open in front of a heavy with a mini gun, NOT OK
  • nerf flamethrower, and mgl, and cl40 and winch claw holy OP (flamethrower is op because its used by massive losers)
  • let us watch subway surfers on our tablets
  • more midriff and cat tails
  • give gadgets unlimited charges until I land it, I keep missing lock bolts for example and I don't get any value out of it when I do which is ridiculously stupid, so allowing me and I bet tons of others get more chances will be healthy for user experience
  • Do NOT fix the servers. It's part of the charm at this point to die around corners and have my bullets go through people
    Embark you are doing such an epic and amazing job with the finals and not running it to the ground in any way, shape, or form. Keep up this epic job

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). The M2 buff is necessary, because sword will be incredibly underpowered without the multihit if it stays at the same damage. For reference, this puts the sword at a position weaker than in Season 1, where it was already an underpowered and rarely picked weapon.

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

Sword slash should be nerfed to 74 damage, and sword lunge should be buffed to 125 (2 shot mediums), 136 (lunge+slash+qm mediums), or 138 (2 lunges + slash for heavies). Sword lunge should also be unlocked from angle hell, and then lose multihit (but sword slash still gets multihit).

I’m tired of explaining this and other people have much better explanations in this channel than I do. Just do it please.

PREMIUM BATTLEPASS QUESTION:

I bought the Premium via Multibucks, just to see if it would change the price on Ultimate Battlepass from 29.99.
But it does not.
Why is it so?

Sure, you get some "extras" but i feel you either "earn" the regular Premium one or simply just "Cosmetic snort" with the Ultimate one.
But if you do both, you should not be charged full ammount.

Am i thinking wrong here?

I love this game except for light melee weapons. please remove or at least HEAVILY nerf light melee weapons damage and dps. Dagger and sword made me quit the game because they do way too much damage too fast (320 in 1 hit for dagger?!!!??). Why do melee weapons do way more dps than guns?? Like I can put an entire mag of bullets with half headshots into someone and they dont die but then lights can go invis, dash at superspeed across the map face first with no thought and just 2 or 3 shot any class in 2 seconds or less. Those weapons ruin the game and it would be 1000x better without them.

  1. Add 8 player parties
  2. Allow us to request to join parties while friends are mid game, and show if they accept or declined the request
  3. Balance H+ infuser by treating it like a gun, reduce the heal but add headshot multiplier, so headshot heals more
  4. Make it so that only first place in cashouts, get extra coins for next round, which will reduce griefing and give 1st place teams an incentive to keep their 1st place. Opens things up and makes teams choose whether they want to gain more coins agaianst the harder team, or don't gain an extra coin against easier teams

Extra: New maps are good, but can we get more fictional maps, we have too many city maps.

Winch still has issues.
It is still winching me through walls. It is still floating in the air.
Decreased the max stun duration from 0.65s to 0.5s
Decreased the minimum stun duration from 0.35s to 0.2s - Really good change, I like this a lot, you guys did a really good job with this and its truly amazing.
Added functionality where, if the clawed victim is far away from the initial point of collision, the Winch Claw will break. This addresses an issue where the Winch Claw could sometimes appear to grab players around walls - I am still getting winched around walls, it is still an issue. https://www.twitch.tv/averagemantv/clip/DrabHeartlessWaspSSSsss-AbQmQeReFQsJxG09?filter=clips&range=7d&sort=time I have had it happen multiple times.
Winch Claw now retracts as soon as it hits an object it can’t latch onto, reducing time spent lingering in the air - It should just retract super duper fast no matter what. If the winch misses ANYTHING then thats womp womp, it still has its flawed floating in air logic. Right now its only if it hits something, which most of the time it doesnt miss and hit a wall or floor.

hello developers,
I think it's worth changing the gravity cube a little. Projectiles such as grenades, rockets, and other objects that fly through the cube's gravity should slightly change their trajectory. That is, if you throw a grenade straight through the cube, it should fly higher, because gravity pulls everything upward. (I don't think bullets should change their trajectory).
There is another idea on how to change the gravity cube: any gadgets, such as mines, APS, and turrets, should rise upward (fly upward) if they are within the radius of the gravity cube.

when are we nerfing light guns and making things that give this game soul like melee, launchers, shotguns more love? latest balance changes are indicitive of a team that doesnt care about community feedback and do the bare minimum to get people to play and spend money. Remember folks and never forget, we got 1? new map for season 9, no new weapons, no new specializations, no new gadgets, but god forbid the team didnt spend all of their time making skins for us to purchase. never forget. dont give money to this studio anymore. Arc raiders is the same way. we are in the puppy dog phase now but mark my words you will see more and more skins and less meaningful anything else the more you spend money on these games. Zany - "you will have too much to play with if they keep adding stuff. just consume and be happy with nothing but crumbs silly consumers. its not like they advertise this as a arcade shooter or anyting silly!"

The game really needs to change its Battle-pass challenge system to be like Marvel Rivals or something. I.E: Allowing daily challenges to remain banked up there for players to complete multiple at once at their leisure, rather then having to log on every single day to do dailies before they reset every single day and you potentially miss out on some XP. The current system is frankly annoyingly archaic. Not everyone is willing or able to log onto this game every single day just to grind out some tedious challenges. It'd be a nice quality of life feature at least IMHO so people can do the daily challenges more at their own pace rather then perhaps feeling like you miss out on extra contracts XP to finish your Battlepass by not playing the game for sometime or a couple days, etc.

something needs to be done about the smurfing problem right now. I play on asia and yesterday was probably the worst game of ranked i have ever had. we were getting high seeds like 1st and facing teams with one ruby player and two super low level accounts that played just aswell. Essentially they are using alts to lower the seed and increase their rewards. This is not fair for players like my self that dont do this boosting technique and its pretty depressing when its every single game.

Embark, I am so tired of your dumb systems.

Yesterday, during a ranked match, Kyoto sent my CPU screaming. I got frame time up to 40ms and the round was borderline unplayable. I didn't want to abandon my team mates and stuck it out on ranked until the round was over, we qualified and the moment the round ended, I restarted my PC and Internet. I came back into the second round maybe 30 seconds in. We ended up coming in 2nd in the tournament.

But I was placed last and lost almost 800 Rs because of inactivity. To top it off: a 1 hour ban.

Then today, I play a world tour and had a connection issue because my internet cut out. I immediately switch to my phone hotspot and was back in the game. However, after the final round, 2 hour ban due to inactivity.

What is wrong with your system, that you punish players who either live far from servers or who's hardware can't always keep up with your worst optimized maps (Kyoto).

How is this fair and what are you doing about it?

Pointbreak is fun,
but what isn't fun is party size capping at 5 for an 8 player gamemode. I'm tired of getting teammates that either waste/spam token usage, dive bomb objectives, or genuinely go 2 in 10. Actually the worst I've ever had was 9 in 24. 👍 😭

It's very possible to just priority queue the 8 stacks versus the 8 stacks.
Embark hear my cries.

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

Triple medium still has advantage. Defib needs it's own full cooldown after getting defibbed, not the 5 second BS.

Defib "Chaining" is barely affected at ALL by the skill cooldown, make it solely for defib or at LEAST a much longer one for defib

# marble saddle something needs to be done about the smurfing problem right now. I play on asia ...

I agree, smurfing is pretty rampant in EU as well. This season specifically is awful. I used to be able to reach Plat4 in all seasons that came before. Now all of a sudden I am having trouble getting higher than Gold4, bc I keep loosint points due to loosing to players with lv32 alt accounts. I am not having fun being someone’s warm up target. afaik this has not been a problem in the other seasons, but I could be wrong. I at least did not notice it.

Bonjour l’équipe Embark,
Je suis un joueur français de The Finals depuis la Saison 3, avec plus de 1 000 heures de jeu. Mon pseudo en jeu est Wally.
J’ai une idée pour l’onboarding des nouveaux joueurs : des tutoriels scénarisés par classe (Léger / Moyen / Lourd) et par mode. Si le joueur a déjà fait le tuto de sa classe, il va direct en multi. Sinon, il lance un petit scénario court (2–3 min) dans une vraie map, qui met l’accent sur un gadget ou une mécanique clé dans une situation réaliste.
Exemples rapides :
Mode Plateforme / Lourd : seul avec un bâton, atteindre la plateforme et éliminer les bots dessus pour récupérer l’objectif.
Grenade téléporteur / Moyen ou Lourd : empêcher un ennemi de récupérer ton cash en haut d’un bâtiment, limité dans le temps.
Le but n’est pas de “montrer les touches”, mais de laisser le joueur découvrir des stratégies intelligentes naturellement, dans des situations qu’il rencontrera en multi.
Je ne demande ni poste ni crédit, je serais juste vraiment content d’avoir un petit signe que mon message a été lu 😅, ça me donnera envie de continuer à partager des conseils pour le jeu.
Merci pour votre travail et votre écoute !
Aymeric / Wally

Winch still has issues.
It is still winching me through walls. It is still floating in the air.
Decreased the max stun duration from 0.65s to 0.5s
Decreased the minimum stun duration from 0.35s to 0.2s - Really good change, I like this a lot, you guys did a really good job with this and its truly amazing.
Added functionality where, if the clawed victim is far away from the initial point of collision, the Winch Claw will break. This addresses an issue where the Winch Claw could sometimes appear to grab players around walls - I am still getting winched around walls, it is still an issue. https://www.twitch.tv/averagemantv/clip/DrabHeartlessWaspSSSsss-AbQmQeReFQsJxG09?filter=clips&range=7d&sort=time I have had it happen multiple times.
Winch Claw now retracts as soon as it hits an object it can’t latch onto, reducing time spent lingering in the air - It should just retract super duper fast no matter what. If the winch misses ANYTHING then thats womp womp, it still has its flawed floating in air logic. Right now its only if it hits something, which most of the time it doesnt hit anything.

This is a really spicy take: There should be a setting to increase graphics settings, when you emote 🙂

an actaully good take: Casual modes should break up parties for auto team balancing/hidden mmr blance. If a 5 stack of rubies queue point break, they will always ruin the lobby as it is now

exceptions being quick cash, cashout, head2head and maybe probably powershift

Arc Raiders hotfix the new console command, and in The Finals, you can still cheat with this in every game Mode. No smoke no visuals cluster, its best to use with a XIM to get the full cheat experience.
Of course, without bans, everything seems to be legal, but if you complain about the situation in-game as innocent in chat or voice, you'll be banned by AI anti cheat.

You can shove your entire ranked system up your @ss.

What kind of logic is it that if you queue as a 3-man party and two players abandon the match, leaving you alone, you still get negative RP? What the hell am I supposed to do by myself against four full three man squads?!

If you’re this incapable of keeping your system balanced, then at least give some kind of boost or compensation for the next match or win, so solo players actually have a reason to play ranked.

Because competitive play is what keeps games like this alive, not your doll-dress-up battle pass.

I’ve been playing your game since Season 0. I genuinely love this game, but if I try to take it seriously, the system makes it impossible...I’m literally punished for it.

Put some actual thought into this. If the real answer is “just play in a premade squad,” then stop pretending solo play is supported and remove the option entirely.

The way things work right now is simply ridiculous.

I’ve paid every season so far ( even for the premiums) to support you guys. But if you don’t get this part of the game in order, I’ll take my money elsewhere… and possibly my playtime as well.

I have poured hundreds of dollars into cosmetics, thousand of hours into casuals and ranked, built a new PC, got serious about skilling up, built communities and started streaming, created fundraisers, bonded with new friends and more in the name of this game and I feel so defeated by how little support we are getting to the point that I just want to quit and move on.

A loss of 100 fps due to faulty DLSS.

The performance issue occurred immediately after the new season was released. The fps would drop for no reason at random moments during gameplay. It seems like this has been fixed. But now, when I log in after another update, the game stops loading the graphics card to its full capacity. This happens in any DLSS mode. The game doesn't want to work properly with upscaling at all and only loads the graphics card to 60 PERCENT. Without anti-aliasing, the graphics card loads at full capacity again, but the FPS drops by 100 frames on average, which is simply unplayable for me.
I have already reinstalled the system, cleaned up all the unnecessary Windows junk, tried different driver versions, changed the DLSS presets, but NONE of this fixed the problem, which did not exist a month ago.
To test the graphics card, I tried other games and, like magic, everything I ran on my computer with DLSS enabled worked at full power. Even the bloody friendslop ‘RV there yet?’ with a budget of two Snickers bars and a can of Monster works better than a two-year-old game.
Why do I have to do so much just to play The Finals normally, when a normal game only requires you to press the ‘play’ button?

I'm enjoying Point Break a lot. Some QoL changes are definitely needed, but that's been the state of this game for a few seasons. I'm sure it'll come in time. The leaderboard addition was great.

I'd like to see a focus on making coordination easier since comms arent often used.

I think the coins could be better communicated. Newer players tend to spend like its water.

Also, where did that monster game mode from Head2Head go? I expected to see it in Cashout. Its cool and bombastic, that seems like primo Finals marketing

I dont know if devs ever read this stuff but I think a good change up for the TDM mode could be putting ALL the maps into a rotation system instead of it being 3 maps of 1 city, spice up the variety and it could help prevent getting the same map rotations over and over if they put all city TDM maps in the mode

I feel like you guys should put more of a focus on the sponsor system’s immersion aspect. Cause aside from adding another form of progression of course, one purpose of the sponsor system was to make us feel immersed in this world. However, all it really does is give us a fancy badge and some cosmetics which does nothing more than the normal bp or shop items.
I think it would be really interesting if Scotty and June pointed out our sponsor from time to time or when our player shows up on an in game billboard it also shows our sponsor up there with it. Maybe when a team wins each of their sponsors could show up in a way.
Cause in reality these sponsors would want to show off in any way they can, and in a virtual environment where they have unlimited possibilities I’m sure they’d do more than just a themed costume.

P.s you guys should allow for reactions in this channel so we can show our opinions on other people’s ideas using ✅ and ❌ and stuff

You know what would make The Finals SO much better? A working anti-cheat system. I'm not sure if EMBARK is familiar with what this is (seems Arc and The Finals suffer from this), or how it works.
So an Anti-Cheat is what game devs use to STOP cheating. Pretty simple. Maybe ya'll should just try one out for a quick spin when you are back from the 9 month vacation

  • For Heavy, a shoulder mounted gadget like the RPG, but it charges up a
    1 time laser that penetrates up to 5 surfaces before being discarded for cooldown.
    Would be cool to use a penetrating laser type weapon to blow through several destructable walls witha single shot.

Nerf Repeater
Embark has nerfed this gun mutliple times and it still has not done a thing. The gun is still broken in long and short range, and no other medium gun can compete with it. Guns like dual blades and riot shield are fun to play but not viable at all in the current meta. Please embark, nerf repeater so that it has 1. less ammo 2. takes longer to reload 3. harder to aim in close + long range. At this point its basically model but long range, accurate, and high damage. Its too broken

Epic awesome ideas, and it's official and professional because I'm using bullet points

  • less balance patches (we need meta to settle even more)
  • more frequent store updates (skins = content)
  • Add a Sri Lanka flag so all these people who kiss their dad on the lips can shut up about it
  • more Ruby rewards, maybe make a super ruby for the top 10 players and give them something even more epic and cool
  • probably introduce more Esports, it's vital so the more we have the safer the game will be
  • buff light, ridiculous that they hate light so much and they are so bad. Im still dying by standing in the open in front of a heavy with a mini gun, NOT OK
  • nerf flamethrower, and mgl, and cl40 and winch claw holy OP (flamethrower is op because its used by massive losers)
  • let us watch subway surfers on our tablets
  • more midriff and cat tails
  • give gadgets unlimited charges until I land it, I keep missing lock bolts for example and I don't get any value out of it when I do which is ridiculously stupid, so allowing me and I bet tons of others get more chances will be healthy for user experience
  • Do NOT fix the servers. It's part of the charm at this point to die around corners and have my bullets go through people
    Embark you are doing such an epic and amazing job with the finals and not running it to the ground in any way, shape, or form. Keep up this epic job

The cheaters are also the reason their player count is low. I barely play anymore because of how many cheaters I run into in this game. And the same has happened with Arc Raiders. Cheaters are plaguing that game as well since Embark only bans them for 30 days. And even less time (24hrs I believe) for people who use exploits like wall glitches, or macros, etc. Embark's security team is a joke at this point.

embark you need to fix point break ffs

yes the cashout cannot go beyond borders but it can still go in the middle of all structures and with an endless spam of gravity cubes, gas, and fire, it is impossible to steal at any times, especially when the team all camps beyond the red boundary, very fun

if you ask me, remove the red boundary altogether, there should be a possibility to ambush the defenders as well as attackers, current meta only allows full frontal assault which in some scenarios is literally impossible as even a single heavy with a gravity cube can stop a disarm from happening against an entire team

  • 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)
  • Stop pairing golds with rubies, like wtf, i.e., 28k golds vs 50k current rubies

on a serious note (considering i only say random shit in this channel every few days or so)
iirc it's xXCoolNameXx that suggested this and it's a damn good idea, give us weapon mastery badges, the only change i'd make is instead of making it go bronze - amethyst it should be the same pattern as the current mastery skin you are on (you get the first badge at hitting rank 6 with a weapon, not right away). Why do i want this? because i wanna show off cool weapon masteries and shit while also being able to use a non mastery skin (because LawLovesTheM60 with the [M6O] club tag is not enough of glazing over the weapon)

also speaking of that gun SLIGHTLY buff M60 because the Lewis is slowly unironically just becoming a better M60
and also what if we had a skin shuffle that changes every time you deploy the weapon / gadget / spec (a setting to shuffle while also keeping the one that changes the skin per match)
make this a forum chat or whatever it's called too while we're at it

Hi everyone
I created a short anonymous survey to collect structured community feedback on Ranked in THE FINALS (matchmaking, solo queue, progression, etc.).

The goal is simply to summarize general player opinions in a neutral, data-driven way and share them as structured feedback.
After collecting responses, I plan to present a summary of the results to EMBARK to help illustrate how parts of the community currently experience Ranked.
This comes from a place of appreciation for the game — many of us enjoy THE FINALS and want to see it continue to grow and improve.

Survey link: https://forms.gle/XH7pwynbtaTUbG979
⏱ Takes about 3–5 minutes

Thanks to anyone who participates — the more responses, the more meaningful the feedback.
Maybe just saying stuff can be too much and not clear to EMBARK what the community wants so let's make a difference by showing actual data to them. Be a part of that change and let's improve THE FINALS !!

NOTE: So far I have 86 responses and I would like to thank the people who participated. I am planning to post the results after getting at least a 100 or more responses. so I would really love from everyone to join the survey and be a part of a change that we can present to EMBARK.

We are almost there guys. The data is already looking interesting, I can see some patterns of what the community is looking for, once we reach 100 responses I am gonna make some analysis and share it accordingly with you. 😁

If you only understood the complexity of anti cheat and its methods of detection, ignorance is bittersweet bliss for you

3v3 is a bad format because ti means that in the finals you will only see a MAXIMUM, in a perfectly balanced meta, of 6 gadgets per class and 2 specs

this also means that a lot of second best gadgets, that are slightly more situational than their altneratives, just won't be used, becuase specialisation is disadvantaged compared to generalisation

having 4v4 or 5v5 would allow players to double one or two classes, possibly even triple one class, and let players do more interesting combos such as minigun mesh shield

this would also make it easier to balance for powershift/point break becuase the player numbers are more similar; a lot of cheese combos require a certain critical mass of heavies, for example. If balancing for comp/ranked needs to take these combos into account, then the game will be more balanced as a whole.

this is my hottest take: the playerbase is too small for tournement mode ranked. Ranked should either be 4 teams in a single round of cashout without a final round, or it should be a competative ruleset final round/head2head

making ranked comp final round would then allow you to remove casual head2head and further consolidate the playerbase leading to better matches for everyone

casual cashout can remain as tournament mode as casual games are expected to be somewhat less blanaced and and there's no mmr on the line

I have a lot of experience in machine learning and AI against cheats and fraud and it has efficiency but not enough, you still need humans to detect cheats and right marking cheaters to have the correct dataset to educate your model. If you don't have the correct dataset you don't have good results at all. So before inventing any sort of AI you should have good manual detection, with other tools and a lot of correct dataset. Seems to embark totally missing any dataset, coz u need 6-mounth or 1-year marked dataset to educate model properly. And if u don't have it u will do nothing good. Cheaters detect poorly in the finals, and in my experience it is about 40-60% of the player base using cheats.

Hey, can we prohibit the use of guardian turrest in TDM? I know there will definitely be people who say "Just bring a data-reshaper and it'll be solved", but in many cases, the enemy will have at least 2-3 people hiding in a small room filled with glitch mines and crouching behind the guardian turrest toto use such disgusting tactic. Sometimes the teammates are some stubborn players who are hard to accept suggestions. It's almost impossible to persuade others to cooperate and defeat them. Don't say it's a "skill issue". I don't believe there's anyone who hasn't encountered such a 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.

I don't even play this game anymore but I've come back to tell how singlehandedly STUPID region locking a playerbase would be.

This tiny, whiny, sore hearted American thinks they're on top of the world as if they weren't the weird foreigners to every other country. Locking a whole game playerbase under regions because you want to feel special in your 1# declining country is surely going to be beneficial to the equally 1# declining game.

These are the first sign of weapons and gadgets being powercrept:
BFR Titan needs a slower fire rate. It's just straight up a better KS23.
The stun gun was removed and reworked into a new gadget because it didn't align with the game philosophy but then the winch gets added which is essentially a stun gun on crack that wins any 1v1 fights by just pressing a button. You can still line up headshots with it and it interrupts your reloading too. Its way stronger than the stun gun ever was and I'm not saying that the stun gun should return but that the winch needs to be looked at. Also there's not very much engaging or exciting that every cashout just gets pulled outside in the same spot every match but that's my personal opinion and I don't find this playstyle to be very exciting or engaging.

A winch rework suggestion:

Make it so that the winch is a more team based ability. Give it a stronger CC again but the heavy and the target can't both shoot for the same duration as the duration of the CC. It will be more of a setup stun ability that your allies will benefit more from and a bad idea to use in 1v1's.

# harsh cliff Ranked needs to be fixed ASAP, the system is horrible and discussing. I am losin...

It's quite explainable;
A common theme is that only a very small portion of the people insulting the system actually have coherent ideas on how it might be improved, so most of their feedback is useless if Embark have already made a system which is as good as they know how to make. Case in point, your message - you're calling it cancer but giving no reasons or suggestions for what the issues actually are or how it might be better. What you could do is consider a tangible change which might improve the experience and vouch for a belief in it, as there are some ideas which fit that bill, which Embark has not tried as people might react negatively to them.

If there was a clear, uncontroversial way to make it notably better then that would have been done, but one does not seem to exist - which is why the only tweaks we get are occasional shifts to how RS is distributed with respect to rank differences.

In any case, if you can't get near diamond it is because you are not good enough to get there, blaming the system doesn't make sense. Everyone else is working with the same system and it does give an approximation of your ability to win games, even if not completely accurate. If you're not getting past 31k then it seems like you hit a level that makes sense for you. It's a skill estimation system, not something you're supposed to continually climb up, if the rank you hover around is below the rank you expect then you have overestimated yourself.

"If there was a clear, uncontroversial way to make it notably better then that would have been done, but one does not seem to exist"

I seriously doubt it would be in any way controversial and that anyone would have any objections to improve the solo ranked experience, and here's a few ideas what that could entail (which I guess do not exist, as you're trying to gaslight everyone bringing it up into believing):

  • improve matchmaking to more closely align teammates and pit them against other teams according to their standing; when I'm trying to push gold, I'd rather not get teammates who are taking their first steps in ranked
  • establish a separate solo queue, let duos and trios hash it out on their own turf instead of feeding on teams of inexperienced/disorganized randos; the way it is now, the rich get richer while the poor get poorer
  • make RS gains and losses at least partly dependent on individual contribution to alleviate the cases where you work your ass off only to lose anyway because your teammates weren't pulling their weight
  • adjust RS gains and losses based on whether you're solo, duo or trio queuing

"blaming the system doesn't make sense. Everyone else is working with the same system"

untrue on both counts. coordinated groups are privileged and solo players are disenfranchised under this system. it's not the same for everyone. and it is precisely the system that needs to be blamed and consequently changed.

again, stop gaslighting people. problems do exist, voices signaling those problems are valid even if not comprehensively articulated, and solutions are possible. you're not scoring any Embark points by telling people everything's fine and fair.

# paper basalt Why does light have like 12 different guns that can one shot other lights and 2 ...

@lime lark Already on it.

To your first question: lights have high dps weapons because of their lower health pool, as if they didnt they would lose every fight against a good medium/heavy.

Now on to sword. I am a sword main with about 700 hours in the game. I do agree with your point that 75+ damage on the slash is too strong, but with the caveat that you’re playing against lower skilled opponents. Against higher skilled opponents, you have to rely on the lunge and dash, because without it, you die instantly.

But, there’s another problem. The lunge, as it currently works, heavily restricts your movement with an angle lock, making it easier to get hit and harder to land hits, as opponents can just sidestep. So even then, the evasiveness you’re complaining about doesn’t really exist.

How do we fix this? Easy: reduce the slash damage to 74, reducing its effectiveness alone but still allowing it to combo well with the lunge and quick melee. Then, we remove the angle lock on the lunge while also removing the multihit on the lunge (but not slash) to prevent people from spinning to hit entire teams. Finally, we could have a range buff on the lunge to improve combo potential, somewhere from 125-138.

  • Prevent rank duos from bringing in someone with a 7.5k+ RS difference. (yes they go 0-10, 2-12 K/D)

Okay man point system is great I am not good enough, everything is perfect matchmaking system, point system. you are just acting like the good guy like you are the best players who knows everything. maybe think about solo q experience and how it feels when your teammates leave the game and you stay two in the game trying to fight people with only two people then come tell me that I am not good enough, or when you play in gold elo against smurfs that are already in ruby rank then tell me I am not good enough, or when I am playing according to objective trying to think but still people don't use a mic come tell me that I am not good enough. I am sorry but I play the game since season one. I have good knowledge of the game and yes the ranked system is terrible. you almost win any points when you win and you lose so much in 10 mins/ it's stupid. last season I play so much I reach 39k like 6 or 7 times and I go down. sorry bro according to this point system + smurfs. this ranked is stupid

Would be nice if good weapons were not thrown into nerfpits just because pickrate was high or loud part of community cried too much.
Its easy to become meta and the new hated weapon when the choice is already very limited.
Cerberus, Model, Pike... Those weapons got nerf-nuked and buried. That only shrinks the available arsenal, leaving things like Famas, Fcar, Repeater. Obviously they will be the high pickrate weapons, while things like AKM do not have anything going for them right now.

It would be better to see the less used things get a buff to encourage their use instead.
For example:
Cooldowns do not matter on things like turret when its effectiveness is what is keeping it back.
No matter how fast Model reloads and how many shells it gets, it is the damage that is lacking.
Gas and Fire have only niche uses as their "area denial" is a joke and 95% of times its a throw on the cashout scenario.

Please try to limit large skill gap queueing to 7k or less to have better quality of life solo and duo queueing.

Well they would be, because they tend to come with pretty notable tradeoffs. I'm yet to hear one which doesn't.

  • this isn't an actionable suggestion. How? It already works around that goal.
  • sure, I wouldn't go out of my way to argue with that suggestion, but this is a controversial one as this will worsen the quality of matchmaking by dividing the playerbase. Personally I expect it to be bad; when you are matched with a stack at the same rank as you, they're going to be generally just as dangerous overall as a group of solo queuers at the same rank - it does have a positive impact when you consider that players sometimes swap between solo queue and otherwise, but I suspect it would be a lot worse overall due to the reduced player pool. Can't prove it, so it's a valid suggestion.
  • sure, though also could be controversial. There isn't a clear way to measure someone's contributions so if not handled very carefully it could lead to it feeling like an unfair and arbitrary system was erratically changing the RS one got.
  • this is actionable but I am confident it's a pretty rubbish idea. You could correct for solo queuers having worse prospects in terms of the final rank they reach, but... why? They'd now be against better teams, it would only make matches harder for them - you'd be actively overestimating their capability matchmaking-wise. I think fair matches should be prioritised over giving people without friends a better shot at getting seasonal reward skins, which is the only benefit I see here.

If you're in a coordinated team you will be ranked higher and otherwise lower; this is good. A player without an organised team is weaker and it would make no sense for them to be rated as being as capable as one of the same skill with a proper team.
A valid approach to the same end without worsening fairness of matches would be to set ranked reward thresholds to vary based on how often you play in a stack, perhaps?

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

Serious feedback on the #👂┇game-feedback Channel

Yes, in theory, having a dedicated feedback channel sounds great. A clean place where people can post structured thoughts, suggestions, and long-form feedback without cluttering general discussion. On paper, it’s organized, mature, and productive.

The problem is that as soon as you actually use the channel for what it’s intended for, it becomes obvious that it’s functionally pointless.

No one checks the game feedback channel. Not developers, not community managers (at least visibly), and not even most players. Long, thoughtful posts disappear into the void with zero acknowledgement, zero discussion, and zero indication that anyone relevant has even seen them. You can spend an hour carefully laying out reasoning, context, and proposed solutions, and the end result is exactly the same as not posting at all.

That’s where the frustration comes in. The channel creates the illusion of feedback without the substance. It feels less like a place for communication and more like a containment zone where complaints go to die quietly so they don’t disrupt other channels.

Second problem: lengthy posts in that channel are actively discouraged by reality, even if not by the rules. The more effort you put into a post, the more meaningless it feels when it gets no response whatsoever. No reaction, no follow-up questions, no “we’re looking into this,” not even a courtesy acknowledgment. Over time, this trains people to either stop giving feedback entirely or to vent elsewhere, which defeats the entire purpose of the channel existing in the first place.

Now you may be wondering, why did you write a lengthy post to complain about not only the feedback channel but lengthy posts themselves?
Well, it's because I didn't write any of this myself, because that would have been a waste of time...

Epic awesome ideas, and it's official and professional because I'm using bullet points

  • less balance patches (we need meta to settle even more)
  • more frequent store updates (skins = content)
  • Add a Sri Lanka flag so all these people who kiss their dad on the lips can shut up about it
  • more Ruby rewards, maybe make a super ruby for the top 10 players and give them something even more epic and cool
  • probably introduce more Esports, it's vital so the more we have the safer the game will be
  • buff light, ridiculous that they hate light so much and they are so bad. Im still dying by standing in the open in front of a heavy with a mini gun, NOT OK
  • nerf flamethrower, and mgl, and cl40 and winch claw holy OP (flamethrower is op because its used by massive losers)
  • let us watch subway surfers on our tablets
  • more midriff and cat tails
  • give gadgets unlimited charges until I land it, I keep missing lock bolts for example and I don't get any value out of it when I do which is ridiculously stupid, so allowing me and I bet tons of others get more chances will be healthy for user experience
  • Do NOT fix the servers. It's part of the charm at this point to die around corners and have my bullets go through people
  • can you use the word cannibalizing in the dev notes more often, I know you use it a lot and it's your favorite word, but it's becoming my new favorite word and I want to see more of it as well!
    Embark you are doing such an epic and amazing job with the finals and not running it to the ground in any way, shape, or form. Keep up this epic job

# harsh cliff Okay man point system is great I am not good enough, everything is perfect match...

These factors affect everyone. Sure, it sucks when those things happen, but it definitely isn’t stopping you reaching diamond, because the diamond players dealt with the exact same issues, they were simply good enough to reach it. If you do not then you were not able to perform as well as them. If these factors could be removed, you would not find your rank increasing, it would only vary a little less.

The win:loss of the system is 1:1. Time-wise it’s quicker to lose than to win due to the knockout tournament system, but of course that doesn’t matter from a fairness standpoint or make it harder somehow. Only the ratio of games you are winning is important for your ranking. If we removed the tournament structure to fix this, it would allow you to climb faster, but it wouldn't affect the rank you end up at.

Everyone, I've run into a really weird issue. When I play The Finals on the EU servers, it gets super laggy during gameplay. It's not high latency lag, and it only happens when I'm in the player view. Spectator view and free camera work fine. Does anyone know what's going on?Im living Asia,I've tried it, and it has nothing to do with the gaming VPN. This issue only occurs when the in-game region is set to EU servers. However, if I set the game to US or Asia servers, it doesn't happen.Does anyone know how to fix this situation?

ADD MORE VAPORWAVE COSMETICS ❤️

# sterile canopy Well they would be, because they tend to come with pretty notable tradeoffs. I'm...

"If you're in a coordinated team you will be ranked higher and otherwise lower; this is good. A player without an organised team is weaker and it would make no sense for them to be rated as being as capable as one of the same skill with a proper team."

it's fair to expect a team of six-year-olds to be beaten by NBA allstars; but you're suggesting it's also fair for them to compete in the same league and on the same terms.

"this will worsen the quality of matchmaking by dividing the playerbase."

a separate solo queue would divide the playerbase, sure, but simultaneously attract more (predominantly solo) participants thanks to a more level playing field. and by worsen the quality of matchmaking, do you mean lower the number of pubstomps available to organized teams? because the team queue would also become more level and competitive as a result; the only thing getting worse for them would be the wait times to find a match, but I'd argue that the actual quality of matchmaking would in fact improve.

"when you are matched with a stack at the same rank as you, they're going to be generally just as dangerous overall as a group of solo queuers at the same rank"

a stack has better communication, role and loadout cohesion, and even their own practiced play patterns, tactics and strategies, especially at higher ranks. in most cases, that puts them at a significant advantage against a team of randos.

"There isn't a clear way to measure someone's contributions so if not handled very carefully it could lead to it feeling like an unfair and arbitrary system was erratically changing the RS one got"

not doing something because it's difficult is not a very good reason. (edit:) as it is now, a solo player's rank is not measured by their skill but by the quality of teams they were lucky or unlucky to be handed by the matchmaker. isn't this unfair and arbitrary?

I will, however, give you that the last idea was bad, I was just spitballing and didn't give it much thought.

Hi Embark developers, good work with Famas dispersion balance.

I'll be honest with THE FINALS content. Recycling old LTM could be better if you improve them or change some mechanics. Heavy Hitters and Heaven or Else are a good example; on the other hand, Snowball mode or the infamous Blast Off was the same thing. Snowball mode could be good because this is an annual LTM, but after three matches isn't really too attractive. Cashball's on the road but maybe it will be the same. THE FINALS need to add new content to receive new players, but you can't attract them if the content is not significantly good.

Every limited time mode (excepting for the destruction) feels the same unfunny experience, unless you have a full team, is not the good way to sustain a roadmap in the game. THE FINALS have the potential to be better if LTM are less repetitive and more bigger.

Nice day, everyone. See you in the arena🫰🏻

Hi Embark, I’m a big fan of The Finals and I really love your TV‑show style universe.

I wanted to suggest an idea: a small 3–4 hour story mode for each season.
Each season could tell a narrative arc about the sponsors, the teams, and the behind‑the‑scenes of the show.

It would add more depth to the universe, create attachment to the characters, and also attract players who enjoy solo experiences.

Thanks for your work, keep it up.

  • 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)
  • Stop pairing golds with rubies, like wtf, i.e., 28k golds vs 50k current rubies

Suggestions:
Make dual blades also completely deflect all throwables and AOE attacks like the CL-40

Remove the backstab system of dagger and make the backstab dmg a default for the power attack but with a longer charge time for it

Replace the G-Turret with a drone which fires like an F-CAR but with much less damage

That’s all for now! Ngl I rly don’t know if this would be a balanced change or not. Thanks, with love

# astral snow "If you're in a coordinated team you will be ranked higher and otherwise lower; ...

No, I am suggesting that you should not put the six-year-olds up against the NBA all-stars in order to allow them to compete for the same rewards because the six year olds are at a disadvantage. That is exactly the opposite of what I am saying, they should be playing with people on their own level as best as possible, which is what it currently aims to do.

"do you mean lower the number of pubstomps available to organized teams? "
No, I mean in that by cutting the player pool in half there will be worse picks available for matched games. You could largely extend the matchmaking time if you like to help compensate, but that's an independent suggestion (a reasonable one, if you would enjoy it then embark should know).

"a stack has better communication, ..."
And they're rated higher accordingly, so no problem. I think you are missing that key idea here. If they were rated at the same rank as you, they must be worse than you at the game such that the advantages of them being a stack balanced it out. The matchmaker handles matchmaking and RS rewards based on rank. So this is a nonissue, except for that some people will play with a stack inconsistently, thereby throwing off the estimates a bit.
So your split queue suggestion would help by circumventing this inconsistency, but I simply struggle to imagine fixing that flaw helps by a large enough amount to make up for the cut-in-half player pool. Hence I think it would be silly to angrily expect Embark to implement this, as we do not know if it's a viable idea.

"not doing something because it's difficult is not a very good reason."
Sure, it's just a reason as to why it could be problematic... that is a valid suggestion so I am not shooting it down, I am just explaining why Embark have not made changes like this yet, as the person I replied to seemed confused by it. They'd need to be confident they could pull it off well and people would like it for it to make sense as an expectation that you can reasonably demand.

Buff sword by removing clamp, you guys literally gutted the weapon for console kid whiners when it wasn't even being used in ranked.

Quit fucking adding them to the game--we have enough of them already. Work with the ones we have currently and get them right. Also quit toying with with recoil patterns it's extremely annoying/repulsively off putting to players.

With how buggy this game is you're telling me that anytime it crashes, fails to load, etc and I do my best to rejoin and win it just doesnt matter? Like whats the point in reconnecting at all???

Lets make it make sense. If someone intentionally leaves and doesnt reconnect this all makes sense but I had to alt+f4 cause the game was frozen. AND I CAME BACK AND WON, why is my RS going down????

What if the devs made Head2Head a ranked mode in The Finals?

I’d honestly love to see H2H get its own ranking system - and here’s why. I’m tired of constantly running into full premade top-500 squads with three Ruby last seasons on their accounts. I’m tired of those teams griefing the lobby by targeting whoever is doing best. I’m tired of boosters and cheaters. And I’m really tired of the long queue times once you hit Platinum in regular ranked.

Don’t get me wrong - I still think the standard Cashout ranked mode is fine. It’s good competitive gameplay. But it just isn’t my ideal way to play.

Head2Head feels way more pure and skill-based: no third-party griefing, no lobby politics, just your team versus theirs. That’s the kind of competitive experience I want to grind.

Diamond should absolutely stay in Cashout - but what if H2H had its own top rank, like Amethyst, instead of Diamond? A separate ladder, separate balance, and a place for people who prefer direct competition.

What do you think? Would you play ranked Head2Head?

In a way, you are proving his point. You engage more with his feedback than the devs at Embark do, and have just demonstrated that his point is not without merit - by choosing to reply to his criticism of the management of the feedback, rather than post feedback yourself.

It does require a bit of a rework to collect meaningful feedback. Mostly in this channel we have light mains screaming loudly for all their guns to be buffed and heavy to be nerfed until the class is unusable.

99% of pivots made by Embark come from streamer feedback which is incredibly unhealthy for the game (and any game, honestly)

I think the effect applied to detected players should be reduced (lower opacity) if the player is visible/not obscured by an obstacle.

In it's current state, the detected effect makes it somewhat more difficult to track players in close-to-mid range combat, mostly due to the team colored trail the effect leaves behind. This is most apparent when using weapons that rely on precision such as the R .357.

  • Add projectile behavior and bullet drop to all guns beyond their max range, just like KS23 and SR84. This will make it easier for players to evade shots from campers and close gaps better

  • Add 40 damage on direct hit with MGL32's shots, letting it hit arena props and shields while also rewarding accurate bodyshots

  • Make Pike .556 scopes available for SR84, and vice versa

  • Remove the last 2 spins on Spear's heavy attack, or better yet, turn it into a charged spear throw with more damage than bow but shorter range, longer chargeup and slower recovery

  • Hide kill noises and scoreboard notifications for dagger backstab eliminations

  • Rework Cloaking Device into a Phasing Device instead, allowing for users to also move through walls at a massive energy cost, adding useful mobility tech

  • Rework Grappling Hook to have lower cooldown if used to cross a smaller distance, just like Pathfinder from Apex Legends

  • Rework Guardian Turret to instead deploy 2 smaller turrets with less health, damage and cooldown

  • Let explosions and destructions create craters on the ground, as a makeshift cover in open areas allowing for trench warfare, similar to BF6

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

  • Add knockback to explosive self-damage, allowing for tricks like Rocket Jumping and Nade Boosting similar to TF2

  • Make burn damage stack upto 2 times, not more than once every second, this would make Cerberus and Flamethrower actually viable in sustained fights

  • Add a 20 damage explosion to gas burns, making gas+fire loadouts actually useful for offense

  • Give Pike .556 to Light class and LH1 to Medium class, better fit for their kits and would actually increase use thereafter. LH1 can function as a more aggressive R.357 and Repeater, while Pike can take the position of a more stable, consistent alternative to SR84

Make Cl40 more self damage(or range of self damage),
Reduce the hip fire accuracy of the sniper rifle, close combat should not be an advantage for it in any way, nerf this annoying bolt shotgun.

Fix mesh and dome eating glitch nades bug. Legit one of the most annoying and bs bug in the game. Makes the legit perfect glitch get deleted. Before the mesh buff it wasn't happening that much with dome but now it happens like at least 2 to 3 times in a ROUND. Legit punishes the good read on the enemy and needs to get fixed asp. (that bugged happened in major too btw against a dome)

I’m noticing an issue where buildings are collapsing erratically after taking very minimal damage. The structure appears intact, then a small hit causes half or most of the building to collapse at once. I saw the latest patch notes mention a fix for a specific building on a specific map, but this seems to be happening across multiple buildings on different maps. I’ve attached this video showing one example and wanted to check if this is a known issue or something you’re investigating.
