Lore having a normal one
Iām
CNS is back in the background š
New official art metadata:
TextLayerText FROM EMBARK WI¤Cā=[\N¤)S.!```
wait theres lore for this game!?!?!?
oh?
ooh weāre back to same old CNS shenanigans
absolutely š
time to check r/cns every day again...
sense we are talking about CNS, has anyone looked at the meta date for THE_FINALS_CNS.lha digital soundtrack from bandcamp? (or really any of the bandcamp digital releases)
Mental
hi
yes quite a bit
Season 2 and CNS was peak lore. Iād be happy to go back
nah dont go back. Travel into the future to S6. Bet it will be a cns season perhaps
wouldn't that fit with one night, three dawns?
S2 would've been night, 3-5 are dawns?
maybe im reaching. odd coincidence though
we still havemt found the secret room, theres still stuff to do
sigmas
Real
w profile
Wasnāt that enabled only recently tho. And I bet itās more of a cubby hole rather than of full size room
I donāt think so it definitely came with the map , we have reason to believe itās a room
oh no, what have i done
I just rewatched the RHB vid where I got this info. I was mistaken about it being enabled recently based on timestamps of discord and the release of season 2. But I still believe it is a small cubby hole.
āA small hidden room that you can go down and hide inā
And āScience is fun if you know its secretsā is the hint
Didnāt he also mention it has lore in it?it could be a little vault where cns kept info that is only reachable by them, he did mention itās impossible to get in
āAlmost impossibleā
So basically not by any means that are normal
Yes, absolutely some wack combination of things to do. That also somehow relates to science and its secrets.
Mayhaps we need to cause a reaction like in science experiments
When I was in chem its was fun when we had experiments
This is the best theory ee hunters have, yes
Although I am not one, so maybe some can speak for themselves.
But maybe not in this channel either
The only āreactionā we know of in the arena is smoke gets rid of fire and fire gets rid of gas
Go to 4:25 in this video if you want to hear some other theories around the clue.
Credit @vernal steeple š
s10 be like: cns back again
do they plan lore 4 seasons in a row?
who remebers the red monico moon? does it have anything to to with the red moon in the lunar new year event?
They mentioned back in s3 that they had stuff for s6 already so yeah probably
Lore
Lore!
I wonder if we'll ever get official art of what the world looks like in game lore
and more cns shenanigans. š
It has me more confident that it'll be a cyberpunk themed season if CNS is being teased more and more with this Dissun stuff recently. Maybe it'll be something with them taking the "lies" of the virtual world away and bringing in the dystopian world of the "meat space" thats talked about
^^ actual version! you can read the ASCII art here haha
ah ye i saw it on the thread. ty!
CNS IS BACK WE ALL CHEERED
s1 - start
s2 - cns
s3 - whatever don't care
s4 - whatever don't care/end
s5 - next stage (start)
s6 - CNS
im not insane right
somewhat I remember they plan something (lore? ee? roadmap? really cannot remember exactly) 8 season ahead, 4 season routine sounds isn't that bad
Yeah, it's gonna be till s8, so makes sense
17th March. close to release of S6. Also Robs Birthday
More than just perhaps. These teases man.
- with love from CNS

s3 is probably going to be decently significant in the long term considering that it introduced us to [REDACTED] the AI for The Finals
How exactly did you reorder the lines here? Is it just flipped or is there more to it?
it's the exact order that my software showed me
I would like to reinforce my theory by mentioning this CNS confirmation was on an ISEUL-T image
Even if I'm wrong with my reasoning I feel like there has to be some sort of connection between the two
cns was also on dissun's image though
Was it? I must've missed that, I'll look through the EE thread
yeah, they send hidden messages on all kinds of images
confirmation bias is a bitch isn't it hahaha
disregard my ramblings :P
it's all good tho, you're welcome to have your HCs!
Is the general consensus S6 is Roman themed?
when did that become the consensus? 
I saw some discussion in the EE chat after a bust of some sorts was found in the road of the DISSUN image
well, the issue with the themes is that we still don't even know why we're in Bernal and Mexican theme. so i can't really comment on what the next season will be
it doesnt fully make sense to me since the season flow has been real life location -> stadium -> real life location -> stadium
but if it is something to do with Romans I can see a CNS X Roman theme running vapourwave aesthetics instead of synthwave like in S2
I think there is no one specific reason for the gameshow taking us to Bernal like one that is clearcut such as Kyoto, it'll probably slot into the bigger picture
i think it's a huge miss in terms of lore and worldbuilding
to have a season where the game simply doesn't address it, esp. an Anniversary season
I definitely agree, but I have faith that there has to be -something- we just haven't found, my understanding is that we're behind on the easter egg hunt so there has to be a reason for Bernal that just isn't apparent to us just yet
I would've loved for something more cut and dry and apparent since I like the lore of this game, whatever of it that there is, which is why I liked S2/S3 because they're fairly easy to understand as a linear story
if that's the case, then i would be extremely opposed
lore developments such as a new season map and theme, shouldn't be hidden in EEs
teasers, sure. but the actual reason for it? that should be in the forefront
this should be the standard, always. even if the story doesn't progress (like S4). at least we knew why S4 was like that
I agree, I can understand lore not being important for a shooter game like this but oh well, it does feel a bit hit or miss as of late
must have read wrong then possibly.
Only theory I remember out of the EE channels the last 1week or so. That it could be Australia or similar. As we got a kind of gas plant. and the video of dissun would suit.
But aslong as Embark is not telling where its set. its a mistery
I will say I only say Rome because I saw it briefly being discussed and I left the chat afterwards, the whole discussion mustve continued without me :P
the rome & historical discussions were not about S6. But the Easter Egg hunt
thats probably the reason.
Big misunderstanding on my part
dw. all fine š
Has anyone found that secret room on sys$horizon yet?
If cns comes back with another killer soundtrack for season 6 thatās a wrap for multi co and these weak ass sponsors
yo
no
we have 1-2 clues. but nothing else. only "its fun if you know science" and that you could down hide in it
If things stay consistent, itās going to be a fantasy location or stadium as you said. Doubtful a real world location.. but could be inspired by one, like sys horizon.
Trying to do a challenge where I have to kill 5 opponents from 30 meters or more using gadgets bc I have been using all the grenades and nothing is working
Couldnāt you place c4 at the vault and wait 30 meters away for someone to try stealing
mines or C4 definitely the way
Someone said it was bugged
I made it! Will be organizing some things here soon. 
dissun is the devil
Nah thatās VAIIYA š
OH MY GAAAAHGHHHHHHH. THERES SO MANY LORE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBEEEEEEEEE
there is ,y boy
where didnt see any ,other then one ester egg video
Shiiit
i think jon biden is the finalist thats about it
anyone got ideas on the sponsers next season? and map?
ong
joe biden for sure
one of the sponsors is probably making a comeback, doubt cns will be one of the sponsorships more like a battlepass sponsor for the season
maybe ivada and like
idk
Brain chip returning for s6 trust
I hope CNS hacks their way into being an optional sponsor to pick
Is it just me or does anyone else think that out of the 3 sponsors this season ISEUL-T is to calm and not evil/corrupt compared to Dissun being a power hungry and willing to do the ādirty workā and VAIIYA being a mind control hivemind AI. I think ISEUL-T is undercover as CNS and that is why I think they hacked their way into this season sponsor⦠thoughts?
mirrors edge map and BP most likely like s4 s2 and OB
Bro Iāll link one right now
hey atleast the other CEOs are honest
and we dont even know if that grandpa is even his actual appearance
anyways glory to cns season 6 is looking up to be a good one
ISEUL-T is just as evil as the rest of them, in concept. If you think about the Sponsors and their goal to completely own and dominate the population, what ISEUL-T does is insidious. They want you to forget about who you were, who you used to be, to live fully in the Virtual world and redefine yourself there, so that you lose your sense of identity.
People who have forgotten who they are, are of little threat to the higher powers. The people are completely controlled, and yet they think they're "free" in VR
yep. they are all the same. as they are all subsidiaries of MC. (atleast vaiiya + Dissun) No confirmation yet about ISEUL-T iirc??
Starting to remind me of ready player one.
It's pretty good
how did we get Vaiiya and Dissun confirmed? I forgot
My bad. checked again.
iseult, holtow, and engimo are subsidiares of MultiCo.
confirmed by the S4 credits scroll
Okay.. I'll honestly assume it's true for every Sponsor there..
I assume this too.
I wonder if we'll ever see any company that isn't under MultiCo's massive umbrella
(except cns) š
for now it seems only CNS can fill that role yeah haha
Here is some direct lore from the game with Scotty and June, rather than someone else talking about it.
Iām also trying to organize something similar in here
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLOSMQJE9KPjbz-vEpVJWpul3sA8nr5yt&si=idMLrU0-z8oD8u5R
āBe Anybody. Be Everybody. Be ISEUL-T.ā
Itās like, be expressive through clothing but also conform to the masses. Itās all a similar style.
@jaunty pagoda could you unpin this please
swa cant unpin things
How do we unpin? Iām tryna clean up a bit.
also i sometimes recommend this Archive here: https://www.youtube.com/@CathRTic_archive/videos
There are also some more videos as all the Credit Scrools, etc.
im not a mod lol
idk. I think Swa has a perfect short summary of CNS happening š
I wanna unpin this too
the fun remover š
I wanna clean and organize. Less bullshit and more concrete evidence to facilitate discussion and better documentation
i dont see it as that bad tho, its not even a super serious chat 
u can ask CM Justice tho if u want
ee is the only super serious chat š
lets just put a comparision here. for the stats:
Lore Channel: 60 Messages today
EE: almost 1200 today
you guys here still have a lot better overview then we over at EE.
That sort of thing is definitely something I'd prefer too! The game hasn't really had more than a few breadcrumbs over 6 months however, so I'd say the lore channel might not be something we need buffed up just yet
THOUGH with Season 6, I'd absolutely love a "What is CNS? Season 2 Recap" post pinned here, and maybe we can get some discussions going.
You could manufacture a "What & Who is CNS" that gets pinned and be ready for S6 just in case if CNS really appears again
m
we have a wiki! if you wanted a place to store information I think the pinned messages of a channel probably wouldn't be the best place, since there's a pretty small limit on those
The Finals Masterboard Miro should be the place where Lore is stored and documented.
we might want to consider to get Spear access to it?
100%.
Especially as next season approaches
absolutely.
@trail wren @visual aurora you clear that with eachother? (just when Spear wants ofc :D)
https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVK0idxbU=/ link to the board
Thatās fair, but in my mind it doesnāt hurt to start. So many people discuss in here trying to reference things said but itās hard then to confirm or be sure as Iāve seen back and forth on direct quotes.
And weāre just going to get more footage, lore and theories along the way
My problem with combining everything with EE is that gets so niche and things get buried. Same with the wiki cause itās all encompassing.
Iām trying to document in the channel where we all already are for discussions. Less bloat. And more only lore content
Definitely, we should use separate places, channels for EE and Lore content.
Donāt get me wrong the wiki is a perfect place it just usually requires navigation through links and extra clicks to get to sub sections or topics. Iām trying for threads and pins to organize some things here
wrong link 
we aggred to mostly share the overview link of it.
We have a link which directs you directly to the overview.
Take this here:
https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVK0idxbU=/?moveToWidget=3458764596714583146&cot=14
Also SPEAR put out a great video on CNS not long ago. Itās a great watch:
https://youtu.be/Gfol_hZ9DA8?si=hYlkZuQFXq0zb5Wq
Reviewing all the events that led us to THE FINALS destabilization in order to understand who is CNS. Everything discussed comes from official sources and the Easter Egg hunt.
Timestamps:
0:00 Intro
0:40 The story so far
5:36 Where did CNS come from?
18:18 Who CNS is
STORE:...
Wait, who is the guy in the gas mask?
I've already set it to here so the default link will work!
what am i tagged about?
access to miro board for the Lore section. To get some things rdy for maybe cns in S6
we thought it might be a good idea for you to have edit access
ah, thanks
what a great youtuber š«¢ !
can't wait for whatever he covers next š„ !
In the DISSUN video? in the car?
Stop the contestant spam
tbh the pins are fine atm, iād argue we should remove the one with the vignettes
like just type a msg with the links you want people to visit and have a mod pin it. then go back to it and update it if needed
Fair enough cause I wanna add more videos
But are threads possible in here?
Cause I wanna have a thread for each sponsor with all commercial variants for example. And much more
i mean that could work but you could also just use the Wiki?
Iām happy to help in the wiki, but idk why everyone seems so against me fleshing out and organizing this little corner of the official discord. EE has it, but everything gets buried there and itās not all relevant to us. So Iām trying to document something similar here.
Idk I talked about this above.
Iāll be finding time this week to work on this.
Yes
Most likely just an actor, some people think it's Damien Vossler because of his motto but I don't think so
not against it, i guess since it's not as complex as the EE that's why i'd recommend just having a few messages with the vignettes and links
What do we know about Dede ? Ive been using her skin and the fact she has her own voicelines got me curious about her, but not much is said in game
nothing
Just a random character! that's all. Dissun advert outfit
The only things we know are that her character has appeared in artworks since the Beta
- and everything her bundle says.
She's been there since the beginning, and she's still active (apparently)
she's globally famous, and sponsored by OSPUZE...
wym still active?
they don't say "was" or use past tense, always continuous present tense
as in, she isn't retired like Scotty but still plays.
idk, i donāt interpret it as such. for me itās talking about her outfit and how now you as a contestant can use them. same as Odiliaās likeness
hm. that last sentence: "She is a pioneer .. .. always clad head-to-toe in her iconic gear"
that's mostly what made me think that. but I guess it's a bit vague
well yeah, she is a pioneer. sheās a legend, she has never stopped being that. i donāt read it as sheās still a contestant
Would love to see a The Finals anime or show similar to that of what cyberpunk 2077 did with Edgerunners. Not sure if anyone else thinks this is cool but I wanna here your thoughts...

Idk if this idea has been covered yet seeing that CNS is widely accepted to be a group of former employees that worked on the game before the AI was installed, but I was thinking that maybe CNS isn't just former employees. Maybe the first iteration of the AI IS CNS and because of it being unstable they replaced it with the AI that currently runs the game. It would give more motivation why CNS hacked the AI in the first place and why it was able to get access to the admin files (SYS$HORIZON) and why Vaiiya is having such a hard time fully removing CNS from the game. It would also make sense why Scotty and June have a very obvious hate towards CNS even when their presence made the popularity of the gameshow rise.
This are just some thoughts I had while getting into the lore of The Finals I am by no means an expert in lore and I just wanted to share my thoughts 
I'd love it. But I think it's pretty unlikely for it to happen 
i donāt think thatās widely accepted btw, itās just a theory after all. yours is good as well 
It would make sense in both cases that they want to "Take back what's ours." while also doing it with love for the fans, and seeing the whole AI theme with this game I wouldn't put it past it that CNS is the old AI who used to run the game
"Take back what's ours" sounds like a group. I have no idea if an AI would refer to itself in the plural
Well like I said it could be the old AI with former employees that extracted the AI from the old files and thus forming CNS
Just thought I might share my insight seeing that it's all pretty much speculations on what CNS actually is
no other "random character" has been in an ad
There's no indication of them being former employees, they're just the only faction in the game not affiliated with multico, scotty and june indirectly work for multico and vaiiya is just incompetent. Something being "AI" or not might become redundant anyway in the future
well based on the stature it can't be the CEO 
so probably just an advert man
"we are happy to-" implies he speaks for the company
Where do you see the stature?
The ad only shows the same shot from the season trailer
Well seeing they want to take back what's theirs and do it with love it sort of hints to them being tied to The Finals or Multico in some way either being former employees or partners or just a bunch of rogue hackers that used to play the game before it got changed. Also is Vaiiya like an AI too? Because when you look at the CEO's shown on the sponsorship deals it shows a HAL 3000 look alike
It doesn't literally have to be the FINALS, it could just be about restoring the virtual space in general to the old ethos and finals is a part of that space, a bunch of confused zoomers who think CS le one life is what people played in good boomer times and what not. The CEO being AI doesn't mean the entire company is made of machines it just sells its variation of chips and competes with other implants while doing some cybersecurity stuff on the side for multico. Something being AI or not probably wont even matter at some point cause the lines will get blurred
My theory is that Sal Scoria (the vaiiya ceo) was a human and uploaded its brain
would make sense with the brainchip tech they sell
you can tell he's sorta a medium build because of the height he is in the car
and the fact he's not taller than the headrest.
The CEO looks to be larger than that
CEO is def a heavy
i do believe so
I found the Dissun ad strangely ominous, for an ad
ITS ABOUT DRIVE ITS ABOUT POWER
Wouldn't it be more of a cybersecurity risk to use a human brain uploaded to a chip instead of using a self improving AI? Seems like that might be the reason why Vaiiya is being so horrible at fighting of CNS
Power is power indeed -o-
Unlike the nonchalant insuring the solar death ad
how can we say vaiiya is horrible and CNS isnt just better?
I am contractually forbidden to speak ill of my benevolent overlords š
Well I'm very biased because season 2 was peak imo XD
i mean vaiiya did get rid of them (sort of)
and the items and cosmetics and yada yada were kept because they make the gameshow interesting (my opinion)
Well the thing with getting fully rid of CNS is that it would mean that the map and the items would technically also have to be removed which I think Embark doesn't want to do so I guess Vaiiya is just doomed to be called out for being bad at their job
hear me out what if the plot is similar to squid game
They're gonna add bread and lottery tickets?
they also kinda failed cause Kyoto has messages from CNS...
now it would be pretty wild but the theory is rather plausible
(I haven't watched squid game so that's the only things I know about the series)
like the best players (like june and scotty) are given fame and priority whatever while the last one get incinirated for dissun fuel
(yes i do still believe dissun is making fuel out of blood)
Who let this guy cook? Literally
custom car?
Id take a dual baguette skin for the Weeb Blades
i mean the fuel is blood colored and the bro is doing the dirty work so
Tbh their main colour is red and blood is red and with the whole Power is Power thing being obviously an evil corpo it wouldn't suprise me that their fuel isn't exactly made in a ethical way
He enjoys doing the dirty work šæ
ayo?
Is that not his line ?
Does anyone know how the VR goggles even really work? Like this theme with brains being uploaded and brainstems makes me believe that you might get permanent damage using the tech to get into the VR world, maybe the tech is even able to extract data out of your brains selling that to other corporations
we know they collect haptic data, and thereās the breadcrumb of CNS standing for Central Nervous System. so very common theory as well
multicorp might just be meta
let bro cook
definitely a possibility!
I mean, corpos aren't usually that userfriendly, with the whole cookies thing and selling data who knows
I could also imagine that the goggles connect to your brainchip (assuming everyone has one)
not everyone because then why would the vaiiya advert exist
to upgrade their current brainchip
Like we upgrade our phones
I mean seeing that people have a negative view on the irl world I can imagine that having cybernetics or implants isn't that far fetched. For all we know humans have gone extinct and we've all become brains in a jar stuck in the VR world for eternity
true but "get chipped" usually seems like you don't have one in the first place
Some real "The Evil Within" vibes coming from the darker theories of this game
Did they ever say that? Can't remember
they did i think
only in text maybe
I checked the ad and they didn't say that. You could've picked it up from somewhere else tho
oh mb
The real question is how much heat would the servers generate that support the foundation of the VR world
i doubt heat is an issue in the future
if there is then. i hate humanity
True, we probably 100% completed global warming by 2100
Might be the reason why people escape to the VR world
wow i was confused who mentioned me here . thanks for the info
thanks bro
this channel is deader then a cut down tree
we talk when there is something to talk about 
once every 3-4 weeks š
hn
June has a virtual dog and something about being cut out of a friend group and she's a woman
W pfp btw
This game has more lore then there is news about Silksong š
...so June isn't a femboy?? 
Probably one of those AI girlfriends š
I'd install her on my phone tbh

oh no, geometry is judging me š
Cube, can we get Threads working in here?
Pins work but threads would be ideal. 
would need to bring it up with the team first
Please do! With love from CNS ā¤ļø
The old press forward instead of retreat strategy, textbook scotty, textbook.š£š£
Imma press forward straight into her DMs š
Nice lol
naw bro scotty hate cns
Yeah but the showrunners admitted they liked the shows boost in popularity. Itās not all bad over at MultiCo.
lmao i can understand all ur point,after watching that 16min lore video
Insert SPEAR drinking Cafecito react emote
Close enough haha 
This is more lore
People have been indicating that when you dies in the game you die in real life
At least the contest and HIS real life
lmao that gonna be a real issue cuz its the most popular game in that world
no sound cant concentrate
?
adhd joke about the vid
Oh ššš
Did you guys talked about the Dissun's
red stream?, which I thought was oil . However, considering that oil is a finite resource and The Finals taking place in the future. I began to wonder if its something else entirely. Then, an Embark employee told us that the red stream could be something else entirely.
which dev said that? sounds like something someone would say during a stream (probably Waterdanceās)
In the spawn channel, we were yapping about Dissuns being the best and then we got worried cuz of oil , knowing that it is a finite resource. Then, a person with blue role in the chat told us that the red stream might not be related to oil and it could be something else
Blue roles are Community Managers, not devs.
bro wtf u on drug , or thats a bait?
Most CMs probably have little ties to what directly is being developed at embark. I doubt many know what is going on behind closed doors. They just manage the community and moderate.
Yo i guess i am on drugs. Im my head I saw cube and his profile pic is blue
disregard my idiocy
its been a long day
lol i was real confused
@feral magnet admiiiiiin hes spamming
oh no PookieBear
not on my lore channel
POWER IS POWER 
do you guys think dissun was trolling volpe
(You wouldn't be here) without us
s1 ost?
wonder for its name for so long. now hints here
idk if anyone pointed that out, but "vaiiya" sounds basically the same as spanish "valla", meaning "fence"
So vaiiya is a virtual fence that keeps unwanted thoughts out
@nocturne turtle @sacred latch is that our Subterranean Sammy?
i just wanted to know which dev said it. here
#š„āspawn-point message
i just think it's such a generic thing to say because yeah, it can be anything for all we know
lowkey excited for season 6 and hope they do a bunch more lore/storyline instead of sutle easter eggs and stuff
it's element 710 
I think in some way the be tech that volpe uses is powered by the fuel that dissun makes
Your favorite world being in vr
season 6 better have the craziest lore ever
Anyone know the ingredients to ospuze
you really want to know? 
Yes absolutely
Ngl I thought it was obvious that Dissun's fuel isn't just oil
that fuel's texture is similar to runner vision in mirror's edge catalyst tbh
Disclaimer:
this is just a FUN theory. made out of boredom from a EasterEgg Hunter. This is not real lore.
https://padlet.com/suitablyodd/ospuze-is-gamer-pee-pj8uskvnux4hik1g
"oh yeah scotty so marcel came around to say hi and that's it ok see you in s6"
what the
yeah it chould be anything ,we need more context of it
yeah thats the massage
CNS hack its way into a sponsorship!!
is there lore?
now now dont spam
is this official or fan made?
im not sure. The seconds screen you see there was in some offiicial video iirc.
but if it was with THE FINALS logo. idk
exactly but wasnt sure. I think its fan made and comped together
yep
fan made. official assets donāt use reflections like that
...blood? or is that too obvious
WE ARE GOING TO SPACE š½š
f
Blood would be a pretty inefficient fuel, I feel like that would be shock value over real science 
"Fuel, Fire, Power" does narrow it down quite a bit
My first thought during Season 3 was solar power but that doesn't seem to be the case at all...
Why are eyes from rob not considered canon?
In something like Central Nervous System theory, among othersā¦
haha that was my theory that got eyed! suitable that I guess I saw this
where did you hear "not considered canon"? I'm curious what you're referring to
side note: This threw me off too, because clearly they are referencing the Sun and Radiation here, which threw me off the idea of "fuel" until the newest advert...
although with this one, "redline" seems to relate to vehicles and engines, so I suppose it's both.. Dissun have a "Red" brand of energy
and with this Headwear description, I am starting to think that even the people in the FINALS universe don't know the formula of Dissun's fuel, as they don't disclose it...
it would make sense if they reassure you with "we are glad to do the dirty work", meaning keeping everyone else blissful and clean (and ignorant) to their methods
I think SPEAR said it honestly. Like not canon but "Eyed" as in your heading in the right direction.
That why I brought it up. Its hard for me to see rob eyeing something and not think that is correct/canon
there are many interpretations of a clue, so we never know what Rob intends to "eye".
even in the CNS message that got eyed, I said "or something metaphorical like that" which might have been what Rob wanted to point to
like, maybe CNS stands for something random like "Contestants Never Settle" but the Central Nervous System is a big clue as to how they operate, or what they represent
I think "eyed" is definitely "heading in the right direction" instead of "100% correct"
surely if they would confirm something is 100% correct, they would say it outright (or officially call CNS "Central Nervous System")
instead of announcing it in such a quiet way
its pure power 
yeah power made with blood
power is power 
Dissun potentially drawing power from the sun gives more weight to Holtow's Sun Insurance
Yeah instead of just like a Dyson sphere or something they are literally slurping up the sun somehow lol
Oh fuck is that what the logo is
Fire
Maybe Redstream is radioactive
CNS introduce private matches in s2
CNS teased for s6
private matches are getting an overhaul
im not insane rihgt
Embark will probably update private matches because of the esports tournament they've planned
ik but it would be fun to tie it in with that
you have restart youre game ?
weird hold on
nope, still nothing what even was in it
why i got TA music with a black screen š¤
weird
i've never said they are canon
and Fish explained exactly what "eyed" means
Do you know if anyone managed to isolate and clean up only the voice, for the Dissun ad ? Id like to make an edit but lack the technical knowledge/software
Lore accurate Charg n' slam
I have a theory on how the devs made the brand names, obviously they arenāt English words so they must be generated by a fake word generator the fact the most sponsor name are 6 letters and not a real word supports this. Ospuze 6 letters vaiiya 6 letters only ones without a 6 letter is some minor sponsors and Volpe and ivada
Those brands aren't random words. Volpe is italian for fox. Iseult (Isolde) and Tristan are both names in a medieval romance.
I'm convinced all the brand names have a meaning and we just don't know it yet.
Engimo could be a fusion of those characters: ēø ē¾©å (pronounced En Gimu)
It should mean something like "connection/bond duty/obligation"
I'm not japanese tho and am just trusting google
Thank you for enlightening me
Yeah cause you explained the opposite in the past, just like fish said 
I needed a reminder of why itās not considered canon
all good!
Hello contestants in my phone 
What services IVADA provides? They maybe sell Medical related stuff due to the healing beam IVADA skin
Hello! 
They might also be a material science related company
I love that bigfoot/sasquatch is just roaming around the arenaš¤£
whatās dissun do? all theyāre stuff is vehicle related it seems like motorcycle helmet and all that and the video for the new dissun outfit has a dissun car but thereās no vehicles in the finals so what do they provide the arena? If anyone has an idea reply, thanks
All their stuff * not theyāre
They're an energy company. You can see their fuel source "Redstream" in the video. It's that red stuff that gets pumped in the car
dissun is so creative who woudlve thought to name a red stream of fuel "Redstream"
Thanks but what u think the fuel is used for in the arena ?
To power the whole arena. Someone has to power the Virtual World after all
Gotcha thanksšš¼ still using fossil fuels in the future is crazy tho šš
we dont know if this is a fossil fuel
Power is power tho
it could be also that they pumping the sun. (then also the sun insurance would make sense)
And I guess Sun is not a fossil fuel š
Vaiiya sounds like a good company from its lore, is it true or is there some hidden lore?
Who knows.
In the end CNS could also be the good guys and Vaiiya the bad ones for trying to block CNS. / working with MultiCo
A dev wrote this: #š„āspawn-point message
So I'd guess it's something else
yeah we talked about it #šālore message
If I was a dev I would put some eyes emoji and tease peoples theories, be them right or wrong, just to reward their lore-nerdyness
Must feel soo good having your players try to dig deep into your lore
most you will get is Rob saying āyouāre just scratching the surfaceā 
are there confirmed classes? what i mean is like is odila a light because she has an invis bomb in the trailer and is ariad a confirmed heavy cuz he holds a anti grav cube?
and is dede a medium cuz her revolver
if we apply the same logic weāve been using, then yeah. we argue she was a Medium main
but who else does it apply to? what about the elvis skin cuz the guitar sledge skin?
those are not characters, just cosmetics
oh yeah cuz they dont have an actual name like odila and dede
Its how he gets the playerbase to write the lore to save money on writers š
now guys hear me out what if nama tama is evil
If there was tons of fully developed lore beyond the Easter eggs then chances are it would have been released already. Iām not saying that this game is dead but the player base is shrinking and doing so monthly. Unless something changes (Iām hoping for it) it will be gone in another year or year and a half. An interesting story would at least bring in the lore nerds and raise the gameās profile on places like YouTube. Most likely itās a loose but large set of details in a Robās head that isnāt really interesting enough to spend the money on developing into cutscenes or videos.
we know that is not the case
lore simply isnāt a priority, but anyway
team fortress 2's lore is the biggest factor behind why it became so prominent in internet cultre
lore and story telling done right should definitely be a priority but embark definitely dont get enough funding
i agree with you about the lore priority. i just donāt see a point in discussing the rest as i donāt know the reasons behind the devs decisions and this aināt the place for it imo
If the lore isnāt a priority then it isnāt worth the money to spend on developing into a format for human consumption so you are agreeing with me.
WE do not know that it is the case Iām wrong that is an assertion on your part without any substantiation. If you havenāt seen the lore you donāt know it exists. You just think it is finished
just saying i donāt see a point in discussing it in this channel?
like all of us in this channel pretty much agree that lore needs better execution. it is what it is
We'll only have to wait one more month for that juicy lore š...
||hopefully||
i donāt have any expectations 
that's probably a good choice... š
is dissun a villains or sum and where can I see lore I don't know diddly squat about it
-wiki has a page on lore and you can ask about the details here

So Sasquach is canon in the meatspace
Seems so! and I hope for it lol
when will june make an appearance
When we discover how time works in the finals and the lore reaches the month of june
arent all oil companies the villain?
Is there romance in the lore of the finals?
no but maybe one EE rose in practice tange
me and the heavy class yeah
This is my prediction for next seasons sponsors:
Ivada
CNS/ Iseul-T
Volpe
if cns is back, there should have a place for vaiiya
true
Real
Imagin vaiiya sponsor but they get hacked by cns mid season
XD
That would be dope tho
Are there official nationalities for sponsors? Like I'm pretty sure Iseul-T is South Korean-based but there's a lot of French text in their promo videos? Is Dissun Japan-based? Engimo, CNS, etc.
Trentila so far seems like it's Mexico-based
anywhere ya can find dissun lore?
Will Ospuze ever be a player sponsor? Or just an overall sponsor?
It was during S2 and as a matter of fact it was the only one if I remember correctly
iām assuming they mean more in the lines of sponsorship (S4, S5), which OSPUZE is still up for it
In this case, I would not exclude the possibility that they become one of the career sponsor choices in future season. Anything is possible at this point. I think that Embark just wanted to switch things up a bit since they already made a lot of Ospuze stuff, especially with the S4 battlepass.
@knotty pebble Maybe we will see a season where it is Ospuze vs. Fizzy Tiger (which is the other energy drink brand), who knows?
exactly
@trail wren Will you make a video analyzing the architecture of the Fortune Stadium map? I really enjoyed your video series where you do a deep dive in every map! I think that Fortune Stadium is quite special with its abstract and liminal ambiance. I do not know the exact vocabulary to describe this map but I think it would be an interesting video subject.
iām currently working on a video about the making of that map
but i do enjoy the more architecture focused ones. not sure which POI iāll do next but i like the brutalist HOLTOW sectors
FANTASTIC!
Kyoto wasnāt really inspiring for me in that regards. Bernal is a bit closer to home because we have colonial architecture where i live, so maybe i can do one about it. weāll see!
Has anyone made an in depth video on the entirety of the lore up to season 5?
or is there an in depth video on ALL the lore of The Finals and its sponsors? because i feel like its all a bit shady business and cruel stuff. but i cant connect the dots
nonsenseā¼ļø
Hey, Iām just trying to figure out what is the actual general chat?
why do so many skins have a '15' on them? what does it reference too?
Everyone's account is assigned a number from 1-99, your account is 15
Any skin that has a number on it as part of the design will use your account designated number (15)
Can you select them or is it random
Cause I got 54 but I'd rather 19 as that's been my "lucky" number for as long as I can remember
nope it cannot be modified
Suppose that makes sense otherwise you'd have people thinking they're comedic geniuses by having 69 as their number
I think only if theres a sponsor that can rival ospuzes popularity because ospuze would get majority players by a land slide
So, THE FINALS is actually an AI that is capable of defending and feel stuff
When CNS tried to execute a hack in the sistem, THE FINALS countered it by rebooting the entire VR game show sistem and it took them to Kyoto Right?
pretty much yeah
Thanks!
wow. that's really clever. and you sure this true lol?
idk know if i love 15 but that is really neat
yeah it's true, every player is assigned a random number, that's why on most renders you'll see a different number like 74 or something
The Easter Egg hunters havenāt worked out the relationship with the numbers yet (as in what determines the number you get), but Rob has hinted that itās possible.
Itās not random, we just donāt know the determining factor yet.
wait how do you know it's not random?
@round sluice
Rob said something like āhave you not worked it out yet?ā
can people change their numbers in anyway? if i had to guess all players have numbers at the end of their names, and your number is some multiple of that
Ah thanks
its not mine are 57 and 2475, thats 43.4210526316 as the multiplier
what could be the potential factor? maybe we can collect a ppls number and potential factors and put them up on a table
yeah, mine is around 200, so I don't think it's that.
I spent some time trying to work out if it was related to vowel or consonants in our names, but then we can change those, so it can't be that either.
maybe a number is missing, that's the 'important' number or something like that
the numbers are static, it means the game assigns them based on something permanent, so maybe its based on when we first started, so range 01 to x are beta player and so on
i checked with some ppl, its not this
yeah, my number is 9, and the Closed Alpha started on September 29, so that doesn't really work
im going to roblox all over you guys
shut up kid ,
xd
if you speed up Yazz_Stretch_01.wav (the music playing in SYS$HORIZON) it almost sounds kind of like an orchestra playing some kind of classical music
the music might be identifiable from there, but i don't recognize it
probably a clue for something but idk
maybe reversed??
Why did it take me so long to realize that the club border color corresponds with the sponsors color
If I hear one more person say āwait, thereās lore???ā IM GONNA LOOSE ITTTTTTTT
tbh i never realized there was lore for this game until today
Wait thereās LORE???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
IM BOUT TO CUT THE STREAM O-
The lore is that the finals is basically the squid games⦠hibachi teriyaki
no Vaiiya rebooted the system but supposedly the resistance in AI turned the kyoto map into a boomer map instead of 2100 version
it is not deterministic I remember him saying that he was sitting and trying to get a specific number by refreshing or something
This may have been asked before, but I'm coming back after a hiatus: what exactly does IVADA do?
Theres lore to this game??
That doesn't answer my question, does it?
They have a performance division dedicated to engineering virtual products for durability and excellence.
Techwear? Camping wear? Military surplus? Biker gear?
High clout sponsor, the only actual lore comes in ads and vignettes everything else is speculation. It'll only get expanded upon when it gets a season
Reckon it'll come in the next? It's been well overdue
Maybe maybe not cause they might want to just maintain its status as a premium brand at the end of the BP, cause you are kind of meant to just choose it over others
we donāt know
everything we know about IVADA is speculation that comes from the cosmetics
Cheers, that's the answer I was lookin for
Yo anyone got that image showing 4 contestants with different numbers on them to symbolize the season? Like there was a samurai one with the number 3 as one of them
ohhhhh! Thanks for the context, this game has bigger Lore than Overwatch š
What was Scotty asking Mackenzie Lapis For?, Spear said that he was asking him like a PROTOTYPE of something
Game this lore there is in?
Lore there is game inside of this
There isnt a global player database we're allowed to access to view basic information about people?
We'd be able to figure out how the number is determined if we actually had basic player data
Too
I feel like the number has something to do with the date and time of creation of your embark ID
Sorry I meant yoooo cuz Iām new here
Wanted to follow up on this 
things like this should contact to cm nate iirc, but haven't see him for a week
Exactly
might be nothing but numbers engraved on weapons might be codes or cyphers [like the ones on the new stone v9s, where the bullet shells eject]
Fr fr that why the sponsor are always Chinese or Asian and they watch us fight with the audience for a cash prize
Sounds a lot like hunger games and squid games to me
most likely an earlier iteration of the VR build
as an asian i find this funny
tbh only one sopnsor can be 100% idntified as chinese (jiangsu romagna); iseul-t is likely korean, dissun (and engimo?) looks like japanese. for others still lack enough evidence to determine it's nationarity
lol wanted to upload that to ester egg channel
I'm kinda hoping for a fantasy season to echo the silliness of the alien season
has finals collabed yet or?
idk
i forgot this game had lore lol
The Finals is a sentient AI that faked its own reboot sequence to fool the operators (scotty and june, also most likely self aware AI simulacrums)
because it's alive and hasn instinct for self preservation.
Also every single hitreg and in-game bug can be blamed on the finals AI.
me when finals lore
Vaiiya was a sponsor that season too I believe? I could be wrong
You can see who sponsored what seasons in the practice range by the trophies where you spawn
I was mainly talking about the sponsors that were giving free rewards during S2 because I remember that Ospuze gave the full sleeve tattoo as a reward for completing contracts. However, I think that you are right. There was also the Vaiiya FCAR skin available as a reward for completing contracts, which I forgot when I wrote my message.
Ohhh ok I see what you mean
I started playing season 2 and I wasn't very devoted then and I won't lie I'm a little mad I didn't do any contracts then
lore is embark is furries
Real
Wait could CNS stand for Central Nervous System or is it just a coincidence
Like maybe CNS is the central nervous system, or brain, of The Finals AI and the AI created CNS to hack itself to achieve some sort of goal
Maybe if it doesn't like some of the additions that the devs make to the game, it uses CNS to hack itself and change stuff, but if they knew the AI was changing itself then they'd stop it, but they can't stop CNS because they don't know who it is
Or maybe it has a bigger goal
for abbr I vote to this theory #easter-eggs message
yes. it is metaphorical similar.
We got this eyed (read confirmed) from rob earlier last year:
and it's more the central nervous system of the internet/servers or something metaphorical like that
philippines (cebu) season when
you can't really do something with places with no pre colonial stuff tbh
Even from a non marketing standpoint mexico was a very legitimate choice
get your rage bait out of here, Jag
Alright I'm sorry spear
embark studios actually has no concrete lore and they just take what they like from this channel and make it canon by doing eyes reaction
W embark
The world building is all pre meditated the actual storyline is mushy yea
Does this game share lore with mirrors edge
well. yea. same with EEs. xD
not legally
but yea concretely this is an arena shooter with an unreal tournament premise set in mirrors edge universe with distilled battlefield 3 rush gameplay
when it works
no australian season? :(
Can someone summerize the lore and state of the world in The Finals's universe to me cuz i cant reach the website rn idk why xd
Ospuze
Will some one give me a good lore chat of the game
We in the future, real life is sucks so people call it meatspace, the finals is the best things since sliced bread, sponsors want advertising in the game , cns donāt like sponsors , vaiiya donāt like cns, the finals ai dont like no one
Oh thanks
"Every step you take, every breath you take, i'll be watching you."
when is update
Fixed an issue where some pieCes of the map could be left haNging in the air when deStroyed
CNS in caps
pls no SYS$Horizon2
so cns coming back is like guaranteed at this point right
In the patch notes map section for sys horizon
The first update has the letters C ,N and S only in capital letters
s6 indicator
just read the patch notes and headed immediatly here after this sentence
something is in game video file... I wouldn't say it as digging is not allowed, but smth is ready
do we have new lore video?
not yet
thanks, so i don't have to check in-game haha
r/beatmetoit
bruh š
anyone mind catching me up? lost track of the lore after season 2 and the whole cns debacle
not much happened really, the arena rebooted itself and there wasn't much lore beyond that
(besides someone from MultiCo showing up but all that led to was sponsors getting more spotlight)
*VAIIYA rebooted THE FINALS AI
oh so they got rid of CNS, gotcha
The typos spell CNS XD
FCNS*
hey guys did you know thereās a CNS clue in the patch notes
/jk
Someone needs to add the red circle with arrows meme to Ariad the CNS member on the patch notes screenshot
WHERE????
JO GUYS I just found a hidden CNS in the patch notes 
NO WAY HOLY
why demat has been buggy this season? uhhhhhh CNS
I don't see it :(
Guys, you'll never believe what secret lies in the patch notes. 
I really think CNS will make a comeback in S6. They will probably be back for the Easter event, as it was the case last year with S2 in which we had a first glimpse at who they were. Also the colors of Easter kind of match the color palette of CNS and SYS$Horizon. I would even say that maybe it will be like that every year in the future, where CNS would come back once a year (S2, S6, S10, etc.) and then disappear again. Of course, this is just speculation but I think it would build some form of hype around them coming back every year which would be interesting.
here
we found it embark š
Yeah weāre definitely getting another CNS
themed season
The "meatspace" is just a sci-fi/dystopian term for the real world in stories where people spend as much or more time in virtual reality than the real world
people think that a hacker group should have been introduced later but it kinda makes sense. the finals was a brand spanking new gameshow in season one, and beta and alpha is when scotty and dede played. they didn't have viiya as a security measure yet, and thus were going to be pretty vulnerable off drop. so season two getting hacked makes sense, it was easy and CNS got control until the finals/multico had to get outside help -in viiya- and made a deal to sponser them, for security in return. now we know viiya didnt do a good enough job and thus they had to reset the system. this is why kyoto is 1562 instead of modern day. so we know viiya didnt fully get rid of CNS on their own, they only slowed them down enough to get the system reset, so CNS probably can and will get back in with some elbow grease.
I agree and I hope that we will see CNS again!
guys, i have a theroy
Sup, can anyone tell me everything important happening in the current season ?
I didnt look into the lore for this season rlly
there hasn't been any lore season with the exception of the CNS EEs
Ah, any that are worth mentioning?
I love CNS and all the secret lore.
i dont know much about them but theres a channel on them
When is this game set
And are there any references to mirrors edge in game or in anything related to this game And is there any mirrors edge lore ppl In here
are you a riot shield main???
idk if this counts as lore, but is the company on the back of the "The Sweetheart" pants a new company?
It took me until my psychology class today that CNS is part of the nervous system and it actually stands for Central Nervous System, and also ties with the Peripheral Nervous System
my psych class has someone named oscar in it
lowkey this might be lore related
my prof just calls this "The terminals" and its like a jumpscare every time
It kind of makes sense because Vaiiya has that brain chip that does something for your CNS
wtf i tried to find the "THE TERMINALS" image and i found an article with oscar replying to me in it
Yeah it's kind of convenient that the end of the cell is called the 'axon terminal' which are located in nerve cells that make up the CNS
Terminal attack
The music š„
The lore š„
The gameplay š“
This is kind of what my theory is on the whole thing. CNS isn't just a hacker group, but it's more of a virus that got in through Volpe's tech that messes with a person's CNS. Therefore when the operators of the game noticed this they called in cyber-security company Vaiiya to get rid of them. Later on to help protect the contestants from being controlled by the hacker group CNS, they created a brain chip that goes into a person's CNS and protects them.
digging in the game files ruins the fun & also spoilers some things.
Even when they are visible. The devs asked to not share these especially until they have been played ingame
yes but they could of easily put it in the encrypted section, not the public area
It probably needs to be to be played as lore video or similar.
still the devs asked for it...
where?
We knew that people probably would go through the files and find it, we said that we hope people won't since it will ruin the experience a bit... but we said, rather put it in this patch and if you find it before we trigger it, that's OK... ._.
#easter-eggs message
as said. as it will ruin the experience.
But if you find it. feel free to watch it yourself. but keep it to yourself that it exists until it has been showed
if you find it before we trigger it, that's OK
yes. it is okay. But keep it to yourself. Because it will ruin the experience for other players
I would rather get told that by a mod, i dont know who the fuck you are
@jolly marsh Could you please tell the person above that what he does is breaking Rule 9 š
your honour it was not datamined
Its ātechnicallyā datamining.
okay. gotcha. Here you got it said by a mod
Lets not share things like that here. Even if it's in the files it's probably not meant to be seen yet
#easter-eggs message
- its definitely leaked content (which is against the same rule)
they made an active decision to put it in non encrypted files
Yes and its not supposed to be seen yet.
It's still datamining even though it's unencrypted
If the rule is no leaked content. And the content can only be found by going into the game files its leaking
its a small database
I recommend just deleting it. Also saves the surprise for other people
okay true, but why is it even your problem in the first place just let mods handle it
By that logic
I cut him off cause I didnt need to hear the rest. But you get the idea
just delete it and let's talk about it when the devs actually intend for us to see it š¤
just go on with you day
@red moon you might have time for a minute? š
you can feel yourself like small part of CNS to just find some file with name of future event...
This place is for lore not spoilers.
hop off my meat pls
The season 2 battlepass was also in the files during season 1. If you posted it you also got warned
Maybe just deleting the image and not spoiling anymore people?
hop off
im glad that he show me that pic, now im waiting for that event
We don't allow game files stuff in this server.
Marshall stealing my thunder :c
I was tagged lol
ME TOO
You both were tagged because Marshall showed offline š š

Mb 
now ill listen since a mod told me, not when a green role is trying to establish their authority
were just telling you what the rules are š¤·
I think when someone tells you its probably not okay, you should take that advice to heart, because when we get involved it can mean infraction
Its pretty common sense that datamining is frowned upon
they were trying to act like mods
They are trying to help you not get into trouble.
I even linked you a Message from Justice lol š
Lets not share things like that here. Even if it's in the files it's probably not meant to be seen yet
#easter-eggs message
I just told you what the CMs told us a YEAR ago
who are you
the goal when publishing that message was to excite people and go "oh gee these balances are rough but this TDM now wants to make me stay and not quit"
Okay but the lore channel is definitely not the place
true
I think if you would not have posted it into #šālore it would have went unnoticed.
But lore is the wrong channel to get this seen. Because the people here are eager to get more lore from lore videos etc.
There is no place here for that type of stuff, period. I am going to leave you with Marshall's verbal warning but I highly suggest you better yourself, and I think you know why.
now let's talk about lore and not this...
Did anyone see the hidden CNS in the patchnotes yet??? 
I stopped counting how many times š
please stop
if cns is the central nervous system, and the finals is an ai that may or may not be alive, and reflexes go through the spinal cord (part of cns) and back out to motor neurons (stay with me here), what if cns ('hacker group') is a manifestation of the finals ai wanting to control itself, not multico?
what's with the attitude in lore, of all channels š
bro no way
idk. always when we poke into the channels something is happening
they want us separated 
no poking allowed
never gonna happen. Some people need to stop the leaks. xD
guys next season CNS is back basically confirmed by the patch notes
so new modes and more glitchy items?
CNS: āwe are here to change the gameā
Whatās the deal with the mayan stuff? Or does that have nothing to do with the lore
It has nothing to do with the lore.
Or we just didn't find the connection yet...
Gotcha
you remember the bodies from like season 2ish
i think that was a bug
If you look closely at the coins when someone dies they often start off with the shape of a player model going into a death animation and I'm pretty sure the bodies were just a bug making those models visible
the mayans were present among other places in the south of Mexico, and a lot of the battle pass is inspired by Mexican culture (Bernal being in Mexico)
we'll never know
If I wasnt horribly lazy I'd check the patchnotes from that season to see if they're mentioned
omg guys did you know CNS was in the patch notes
no wayy
Unbelievable! What are the lore implications of this??
WHO IS CNS?
btw they added a gap in the schedule this update, might be an accident (below is what it used to be)
though, with the "days remaining" of the season line up with it ending on MAR 20, so there really is a 3-week gap in World Tour..
Everyone asks "Who is CNS?", no one ever asks "How is CNS" 
Whats Qllro? (I cannot find how to spell it)
qttro
we donāt know. just another unnamed brand
Christ...Dat gamertag is hysterical š¤£
What'd he ever do to uš
Someone on reddit found another floppy disk on Kyoto #easter-eggs
Not sure if it's been posted. I didn't see it anywhere so I figured I'd post it myself
yeah we have a whole thread about it in #easter-eggs
these VAIIYA guys kinda suck bro second time CNS gets through into the arena
@nocturne turtle @jaunty zinc I also experienced the glitchy dead body "bug" today for the first time. I think this is intentional.
season 5 ends at Match 20(21?), if sponsor showdown ends in Mar 6, that 3 week blank period is still there (most ppl, including myself probably didn't realized this
). it's not "added", they moved this gap
The 3 week gap starts on valentines day. "From CNS with LOVE". they're coming back.
there is valentines sound track, but not avaliable in settings switchš¤
Guys did yk the finals was developed by people not AI, even though its from the future
CNS Sponsor next season?
that would be rather š„ like they hacked a supposed sponsor and now they are the sponsor undercover
not a bad idea right?
It is bad, why dont cns just hack the whole games instead of being one of the sponsor
real
I forgot to take the picture yesterday but when i killed an oponnent his statue was there BUT there was also a blue hologram of a person on his knees leaned forward in like a praying position ( hands/fists? together in front of the chest )
Is that a bug of a dieing animation or sth cns related?
Suspiciously CNS shaped hole in the World Tour:
The lore aspect of this game needs attention so bad lol
Just another minor sponsor like CRMP
this game has lore, thatās cool ig
but who will fill the Dede shaped hole in my heart
@gentle bronze omg iam a big fan
DISSUN IS SUPREME
Dissun!!!!
If CNS is sponsoring on the next season it's an immediate sign up

Itād be kinda funny if it was a show to encourage kids to play the finals

lore
lore wise, are we playing the finals for "meatspace" Money or "virtual reality" money? Because ingame there's a dollar sign on cashouts but the Premium currency (who i assume is the in-lore "virtual reality" currency) has a different sign
I saw but wasnāt sure the important revelations from it. Only concrete thing, so far?.. Seems the reflection in the glasses
Well yeah not much cns stuff from it
most of the cns stuff I'm aware of atleast is patchnotes and the glitches reappearing
if you mean lore stuff, very rarely do these images reveal anything up front with the exception of teasing what CNS might be up to
Yall ever notice the top UI wavers and flickers like a CRT but the bottom UI doesn't? You think it may be because only the contestant sees the bottom UI but everyone (like spectators) sees the top UI?
Wdym the top ui
Like where it shows the cashout details and deaths and stuff?
the score compas and time
They were asking if there was specifically any more indicators of cns in the new art
Also was there actually a tease about what cns is upto in this art?
idk, i haven't checked it. prob not

Guys something big is going to happen this Thursday for world tour. The Love Hurts event ends Feb 13. And the Sponsor showdown starts March 6. Between those 2 dates is exactly 21 days or 3 weeks. So what is going to happen in those 3 weeks?
We don't know
People speculate CNS will come back which it definitely will based on recent Easter eggs but we don't know if it will be a new season or during the world tour
Thinking June's a ć ć ć ć ć £ć is wild
I still think there might vaguely be the possibility the finals is actually a show in embarks other upcoming game arc raiders
Nothing really to confirm it besides the fact ark raiders is kinda a post apocalypse so it would make sense people would go for ready player one vr stuff lol
I like to imagine money is worthless irl for the finals, inflation is so bad 1 million dollars gets you a cheese burger XD
Just based off the sponsor ads id have to say the irl world outside of the finals is definitely a dystopia like that
THE PLAYSTATION IS BACK
Need 1 more for comp dm/add me to join any rank NO REYNA OR ISO MAINS
interesting lore
lol
June
āxSeek the truth⦠follow the signs⦠we are CNSxā
Did Mackenzie Lapis undergo plastic surgery? Her nose appears different. Who is her rhinoplastic surgeon?
don't we literally have nothing but a voice lol
CNS deathmatch next week have you seen the trailer?
What trailer?
it's not that serious, but don't watch it if you don't want to ruin the fun
mods?
š¤¦āāļø
yup hhahahaha
At least you're not a giant baby about it like the last guy was, I hope it didnt ruin the surprise for you
Where did you find it ?
We don't allow leaked stuff through data-mining, no need to ask for instructions 

I datamined the patchnotes and found this...
ok so
i wonder what season 6 will be about
Your are too late
Same
what services does ENGIMO provide?
data sharing? some sort of online community website, it says quantum signal as Chinese/Japanese at the bottom but we don't know exactly what they do for now, to me Engimo seems like a mobile brand
I think this is kinda weird but i think They are kinda like Samsung (selling both phones and tablets and electrodomestics as well)
yeah they could be too hmm
This is their ad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM1mMe8xVNE

SEE YOU IN THE ARENA!

It's probably gonna be a fictional map like S2 or S4.
A magical map or a map set in one of the in-universe games (Moist Man or Ćrf) would be interesting
lore?
I dont think weāll get a map for season 6. Rob said that theyāve gotten to a point where there are plenty of maps now.
They wanna focus on variants now. So maybe if CNS comes back weāll get āhackedā variants of the maps we already have? Thats my guess for s6
(But of course I hope for a new map)
CNS gifted us Season 2 but was stopped by VAiiYA. Until now.
thi looks like an image of somthing
Embark bring CNS back in season 6 please and thank you. Oh and DISSUN tooš¤£
the question was more like "who posted it and where" not "how do I extract suff like that from the game files"
which sounds like work and work is ew
I came across the video on reddit and scrolled away as fast as I could lol
just use fmodel
i got no idea what the numbers on outfits mean. some have a 4 some have a 15, i thought it was related to the season the outfit dropped but there's one that dropped season 3 with a 4 on it. and other people have random numbers on theirs. saw a 68 today
They are assigned to every player
One of the numbers is your number. They assigned a number from 1-99 to every player. It's like the numbers in real sports.
Other numbers could be related to EEs or lore
We don't know how the numbers assigned are chosen but yesh
Regarding June I was watching a video about the second closed beta, and there was the bundle with the cardboard sniper who was called "June Pick's", so I assume.. June is a Light player?
provide a link please
Ahahaah
have yall been noticing the glitchy icons? the loading F logo seems to be tweaking. CNS is definitely coming back to give us some love.
You have any footage of it? I haven't been able to get online and would like to see that if you do
I'll get some
no way, CNS?
Im new to this game
I play since 2 day's
I heard they break things or something
And something with walls
I think it's some art council in new zealand
Do they make Spagetti?
Am not sure, because I'm also new
Also I heard they change animals from frog to rat
Huh
Maybe it's connected to the mma
That Museum
iesult is the best
still waiting on getting my voice in the game. TTV SKROY
Never again 
I can't wait 
i believe CNS is going to attack again, but They are like trying to take back the finals, maybe their leader is the previous finals owner and later they were forced to leave the game show and then MultiCo took everything
So what's the lore behind the games? Before I started playing, I thought that the people fighting were legitimate people in the lore, but then I found out you turn into coins when you die. Was that a style choice or is there lore behind that?
I've been trying to figure this out for a while now
Virtual Combat Game Show, none of its real, contestants play in VR

Wait so does that mean that all my brain-dead plays are canon to the game's lore.
Yes. We are currently living the lore by playing the game
So like in helldivers, all my mistakes are cannon. Yay.
on dirais t'a freeze juste
could be
hard to say, specially with the event closing in so soon
Thats what I was thinking
I just posted to see if I wasnt the only one
Prolly nothing tho
usually im not really paying attention
but iāll let u know if i see it too
you want to choose between dissun and CNS?
I would actually freak out
CNS DROP BANGER MUSIC, AND MY LIFE, IS YOURS!
