Also just because Scotty might have a record doesn’t mean he’d have loads of fans theirs probably people that hate him as well or think he’s just a useless bum based on the record he holds

[idle knot]

funsies lol

[hardy berry]

Ok fair lol

Anyway I think Scotty has MASSIVE social anxiety/imposter syndrome

See: description of the pink/yellow fade sequin skins

I think he does a really good job hiding it

But he is constantly on edge

[lone skiff]

Okay what happened while I was asleep

[hardy berry]

They way Embark has tuned the current version of some of his lines ("will have to do a comedy show") make it sound like he wants to "stay in his lane" as much as possible. And not have to work/think on the fly

[lone skiff]

I personally think that scotty is a classic case of nepotism, he was actually trash at the game but is related to someone high up so they hyped him up, placed him with a really good team that carried him, then promoted him to commentator.

[hardy berry]

Plus how hostile he still gets when June says the rules before he does or thinks he is being "upstaged"

[lone skiff]

Hm interesting, I always thought he was arrogant but maybe he also knows that he was really bad so he feels self-conscious that people will realize he's a fraud.

[hardy berry]

I could see that. Or MultiCo found him to be "workable" (won't question the corporate narratives, can be easily shut up) and put him with a good team

[hardy berry]

The sequn skins have a description somewhere along the lines of "make a mess and leave before June arrives"

[lone skiff]

Thats also possible, actually that makes me think he made some sort of deal with Ospuze that he would get carried to the top, and would forever find a way to work ospuze product placement into everything.

[lone skiff]

We know that he's a slob, if you take a look at some of the s7 viniettes, it is commented that he smells and is drinking too much ospuze and there are cans all over the room.

[hardy berry]

Probably dosen't help that Ospuze is highly addictive HAS GREAT TASTE

[lone skiff]

Exactly, it has some sort of drug (I believe that MDMA or Euphoria is the closest match given symptoms and the relation to tiger fruit) and also at this point I am wondering if it has some sort of other drug in it more simalair to LSD, actually I remember seeing some interesting videos about a specific compound that can be used to get an insane high many patients say that they saw entities, many reporting entities that are very simalair despite no connection between the people themselves.

[amber garden]

I think the compound you're thinking of is dmt, it's also a key component in ayahuasca which aligns with multiple separate people seeing the same entities.

[lone skiff]

Yes thats it I forgot what It was called, thanks.

Ospuze might contain dmt

Like trace ammounts

[gentle bronze]

is Oscar in the finals lore

[stray tiger]

damn

[amber garden]

I mean maybe but also dmt makes you paralyzed briefly so unless a side effect is going limp then idk

[lone skiff]

Hm I'll have to go back to previous notes

[open hinge]

has there been any more lore connecting the finals with arc raiders, that we dont already know

[past coral]

what is the new video about the ospuze truck even abt

i saw it on youtube from the finals official channel

is that just an ad for their soda

[odd flax]

Look at the fine print text at the end of the video, says some crazy stuff lol

[maiden anvil]

Good lord what did I miss while I was playing Valorant

[royal plover]

Your sanity?

[maiden anvil]

Yeah they post a couple ads every year for the in game products

[maiden anvil]

Yeah that too

[bronze bone]

What is ospuze even about?

[knotty quiver]

what does ospuze taste like

[past coral]

fr ive wondered abt it for a long time. Im thinking some cross between battery acid and lemon

[royal plover]

tiger snot mixed with battery acid and horse shit

[heavy acorn]

How do you know

[royal plover]

Sofia forces all sponsors to drink at least one can before becoming official seasonal sponsors

[pearl nebula]

How is ospuze going

[royal plover]

2nd place about 52 million fans behind engimo

[heavy acorn]

I see

[pallid rover]

Anyway peasant of void remind me of something medieval, after all Medieval times were called "The dark ages"

[pearl nebula]

i mean emotionally

[royal plover]

Terrible

[pearl nebula]

:(

[wooden citrus]

Anything we can do to dethrone Ospuze?

[royal plover]

Eat tiger fruit

[wooden citrus]

Where can we find tiger fruit and juice?

[royal plover]

Your local grocery store

[nocturne turtle]

buy Hydra Q

[wooden citrus]

Huh, never heard of them. Maybe they should collab with Trentilla to have some ground to go against Ospuze

[nocturne turtle]

Yeah they've also only been mentioned once in a lore video and are only on 1 cosmetic set afaik.

We don't even know what they sell, but we know that the CEO of OSPUZE doesn't like them

my guess would be that they sell water

[wooden citrus]

If they did sell water or any type of beverage, we all know who is involved for their sudden closure. It's not really a secret anymore. What I'm saying is that since you brought up the point of Hydra Q being a contender to Ospuze, due to selling "water." Since Trentilla is in the big leagues with Ozpuse, why not be aggressive and have a collab with Hydra Q. To force Ozpuse to cause a controversy during the showdown to loose its followers?

[wooden citrus]

I'm not against your point, I agree with you. I'm just a bit stumped, why there hasn't been any friendly rivalry during the showdown or controversy behind the scenes (other than the lovely ceo of trentilla talking to us)

[molten belfry]

dude

[open hinge]

Is there any new info connecting arc raiders to the finals?

[earnest adder]

only thing is that one quest itd be super cool though

im js assuming that the finals happens before arc or sumn

but they seem so different

[lone skiff]

no and as of now most of the community believes there is insufficent/contradicting evidence about the games being connected. So right now just treat the games as separite, and theorize about things in the finals! The arc raiders discord also has a lore channel if you would like to theorize about that game instead.

[lone skiff]

yes the finals happens about 80 years prior to arc raiders, which is one of the main reasons people believe they are not connected. The timeline is way too short (especially concidering the initial collapse happened about 20 years prior, shortening the gap to 60 years) and the styles way too different.

[royal plover]

We need to pin this. I am so bored of this same question

[lone skiff]

Yeah well people don't look at pins

They ask for an overview of the lore when the wiki link is literally in the channel description

I basically nearly copy the intro the wiki says and then give them the link to the wiki lmao

[royal plover]

At least then we can link it quickly though. Maybe i'll set up a clipboard on windows to answer it quickly that way instead

[lone skiff]

I keep meaning to do that with my phone clipboard

[lone skiff]

Also CEO ana del Mar what are your thoughts on trentilla being at the bottom of the leaderboard in sponsor showdown

[royal plover]

I'm not surprised. We were last season's biggest sponsor so everyone's already signed with us.

It's great to see engimo kicking ass at the top though

[lone skiff]

well CNS aint there, so everyone else gets to play pretend that they're important

[royal plover]

lol. I guess after people figured out what was going to happen because they accidentally launched those CNS items early they had to delay you 'til next season

[lone skiff]

lmaooo

the people know what they want

[quiet magnet]

I am typing to reach the next level in the chat

[royal plover]

You can always ragebait people #⚡┇the-finals-chat

[robust nova]

CNS is the GOAT for sure! No hard feelings to Trentilla there, they’re also a favorite of mine too! ❤️

[vital yew]

Yeah I like the trentila aesthetic the best but because I finished the rewards previously im not signed for them now. Just seems a waste of progress

[west furnace]

Their sponsor stuff is pretty meh, lime with orange highlights doesnt look good
Their S5 bonus pages and S8 contracts stuff with just white \ lime colors is okay
Shop bundle that mixes psodracing aesthetics with saturated greens is also nice

[lone skiff]

Exactly yeah I think everybody is just trying to get all the cosmetics from all the sponsors

I'm grinding isult t rn

[shrewd fractal]

someone needs to update june and scott they keep lagging out on that one sys horizon map

[lone skiff]

that's intentional because its a map that CNS hacked into the game!

[shrewd fractal]

ok so ofc ofc ik it was a feature but i never knew it was because one of the guys hijacked the game. thats actually sick to know icl

[lone skiff]

yep! theres actually a ton of cool lore you should look into it! here's a good introduction if you're interested. https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Lore

[robust bramble]

OSPUZE

[severe summit]

what's the lore of this game? Where can i ready about it? Is it all in this link or..?

[lone skiff]

Yep the link is probably the best place, best i can do is summarize what they say. when you want to get deeper into the lore though come back here! theres a lot of ongoing investigations and conversations going on that are super cool!

[vernal mango]

Will CNS return?

[nocturne turtle]

Perchance.

[winter vale]

Why would CNS not return did they get beat by Vaiia or smtn

[iron hatch]

um. n0?

[winter vale]

so they is comin back

[amber garden]

Smh a lore chat with no Scotty fan fic, this is sum bullshit

[lone skiff]

Yes

[lone skiff]

No

[lone skiff]

Yes

[vernal mango]

Hopefully because I’m for CNS

[lone skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/the-finals-cns-season-2-gif-15438830602930523049

[vernal mango]

The only way is the truth

[fleet ridge]

So what exactly is the beef between CNS and Vaiiya? I picked Vaiiya bc I like their aesthetic a bit more but I'm wondering if there are some negative moral connotations with that

[lone skiff]

CNS opposes vaiiya because of their deceptive practices. Vaiiya is covering up brain chip malfunctions that leave people without any motor function. Vaiiya is another example of the scummy corporate world fostered by multico. CNS will defy Vaiiya and MultiCo to our last.

[fleet ridge]

Got it, thx!

[tame siren]

If CNS has zero supporters then I am dead.

[lone skiff]

We are proud to represent you, but whats that little yellow thing i see there next to your name?

[tame siren]

I'm an addict with good intentions.

does anyone think that Embark would do collabs between sponsors? like, if you matched it well enough it would work nicely... thoughts?

[nocturne turtle]

They already do.
Trentila and Ospuze often made product collabs.
Their Tiger Juice uses Trentilas Tiger Fruit.

[royal plover]

First and best collab

[slender mica]

oh yeah, i remeber them doing that. but then, they are very related. i was thinking collabs more like holtow x vaiiya or alfa acta x iseul-t or ospuze x dissun. would Embark consider that?

[nocturne turtle]

for sure.
they're all owned by multico after all

[rancid hemlock]

yo

[sly wing]

im starting to worry about this game and its future, ive played since beta and this season has been kinda down on lore. and theres also no information about season 10. the game is incredible, but the player count is at its lowest since launch. hope season 10 is better in terms of lore and everything

hope embark doesnt forget that the finals exists too. arc raiders is amazing but this game should also be loved 😭

[royal plover]

Yeah it seems embark are trying to compete with R* to see who can blue ball their fans longer. R* with gta 6 and embark with the lore

[sly wing]

when s8 began lore started to die down which is sad, hope we get something good soon

[royal plover]

After people figured out what was going to happen because they accidentally launched those CNS items early at the start of the season they had to delay CNS 'til season 10

[sly wing]

WHAT happened? 😭 did i miss something

[royal plover]

At the start of season 9 they accidentally added a CNS tablet and then removed it a day later. After this we figured out that CNS was going to appear mid season on valentines, be added to the sponsor list and change all of the sponsor bio's to reveal the truth about the companies but that never happened

[sly wing]

wow i missed a lot, i was playing arc that whole time and actually had no idea

[royal plover]

lol

[frigid estuary]

VAIIYA Is Just an evil mega corp trying to transform you into a semi sentient robot controlled remotely by a chip that I wouldn't trust especially after that CNS video, plus the fact that they specifically state everytime that "you are not being controlled" as an excuse to what they just said. Nah man, I'm with the truth .

[robust nova]

So is it officially confirmed that CNS is making a return in season 10 or no? I've been seeing a lot of talk about how some of the leaked CNS tablet screens and cosmetic parts were removed from the shop so I'm honestly curious. That and the sponsor showdown including all the 'official' sponsors of the gameshow except for CNS. Am I honestly reading too deep into this here in terms of potential speculation or no? Because I want to see more of CNS and the lore in the future and maybe that's why the date for the new season is being pushed back a bit

[lone skiff]

We haven't heard anything about s10 yet I believe. Teasers usually happen around 1 week before season launch

[hoary steeple]

CNS is technically not an official sponsor, as Multico doesn't control them. Therefore they are only available as a game show when they hack in.

[digital crane]

I LOVE HIM AND HIS FINALS BOX!

[serene kindle]

OSPUZE and Dissun cross symbolisms? OSPUZE is a beverage company that is about momentum and action. They use references and symbolism to electricity. Yet, their most famous flavor and another symbol of their brand is their tiger juice. A lot of their stuff is either tiger themed or lightning themed. Tigers and tiger stripes are symbolic of and associated with fire though, not lightning. Now, Dissun is a power company. They run the electrical grid and are all about power. That's mostly electricity, no? Versions of their logo even have lightning symbols on it. Yet, their motto is "Fuel. Fire. Power." Their stuff either symbolizes fire/combustion or electricity/battery. Of course, this could be bc the grid is still powered by burning some sort of fuel/resource. "Power is power" so combustion and electricity could both be part of their identity as a power company. You can generate electricity without burning stuff too though? Do they represent the process of combustion/burning fuel or the generated energy itself (electricity)? If they switched to cleaner energy, would that ruin their identity? Either way, it's kinda funny how the symbolisms both encompass fire and electricity with each side kinda going the wrong direction imo. OSPUZE with all it's tiger-theming should be leaning more into fire than electricity but they have lightning-based cosmetics, whereas Dissun should be leaning more into electricity/ionization-theming but they try to make themselves look more about fire and fuel which is just one particular means of producing energy.

[dense leaf]

I think it's very likely.

Yes, they released a "Kinetic Flare" skin for the tablet (metallic purple with glitched edgewear). I bought it, but had it removed from the wardrobe

Additionally, CNS is the only sponsorship to not come back, and with 2 seasons of "rest" from CNS, I think it's likely they'll come back in S10.

[sly wing]

we neeed some actual origin story of cns. it kinda pisses me off how they come back every few seasons, hack the game a lil bit, and get booted out. they keep saying "taking back whats ours" like WHOOOOO are you 💔 🙏

and we need a scotty and june face reveal

s10 is like the 10th season soooo we better get something very big for lore

[lone skiff]

That's part of the game friend. Revealing ourselves would expose things not yet ready.

ive got something big scotty is actually just plugging ospuze he actually hates it

[trail mica]

Oh

[trail mica]

You ever gonna do any more gun skins

[royal plover]

Prolly not sadly

[maiden anvil]

Noooooo that’s too much time to wait

[trail mica]

Aw man

[royal plover]

rip

[maiden anvil]

Can I get a job then I’m gonna need it to get my multi bucks up

[royal plover]

Sure

[trail mica]

Me 17

[maiden anvil]

What’s the starting pay and what’s my job title?

[royal plover]

15 multibucks an hour as my car fetcher

[trail mica]

That’s a steel

[maiden anvil]

I agree

[mossy marsh]

i also agree

[tame siren]

I didn't read the other chats but I agree too

[acoustic spear]

can anyone lowkey recap the lore for me

[royal plover]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Lore

[acoustic spear]

"meatspace" haha

[royal plover]

After i heard that i say meatspace instead of Narnia when I'm expressing something disappeared into thin air. always confuses tf out of people

[acoustic spear]

lmao

[prime veldt]

you said narnia instead of the backrooms?

[royal plover]

Narnia has far more style

[prime veldt]

fair enough

[lofty obsidian]

will the sponsors change next season or will they keep all of them at once

[olive dune]

prolly change

[lone skiff]

The all of the sponsors at once thing seems to be a new system they're trying so that people no longer miss out on free cosmetics! hopefully it stays in the game for the future, and I believe it will.

[lofty obsidian]

thats good im really enjoying it gives everyone more freedom

[lone skiff]

exactly!

[prisma cedar]

ya it should be

[nocturne turtle]

I like it but I feel like it should get locked ~one week before the sponsor showdown.
People like being on the winning team and will switch if they see that their sponsor isn't winning. This removes any chance of other sponsors making a comeback imo. (I don't have the data but I feel like this is happening rn)

The week before the sponsor showdown could show a pop up telling you to lock in your sponsor for the showdown

[royal plover]

I don't like the new system as a whole tbh. Completely defeated most of the point in choosing a sponsor.

[nocturne turtle]

I like it bcs I can switch to another one when I've completed it.
Maybe they could switch the system that you'll only be able to choose the new sponsor tracks until you finished that one and then you're allowed to choose another one. I wouldn't mind

[royal plover]

I'd like that a bit more.

Or maybe you can only choose the seasonal sponsors at the start and then once you've gotten to the end of page 3 you could swap to another one or keep going to get the gun at the end. Then Loyalty would mean half a shit and you could make it so you can't choose the other seasonal sponsor (eg: picking ospuze would mean you couldn't go with Volpe for the rest of the season) so then all of the fans earned during showdown would count as points for your chosen Seasonal while simultaneously going to the sponsor you're currently signed with

[lone skiff]

I agree with that, and I think the winning team should get a special cosmetics SET not just one skin.

[robust bramble]

THE lore is dead #FREE ROB

[lone skiff]

rob was the head of the EE hunt not the lore

[nocturne turtle]

Only tilleby is left

[stoic path]

What happened?

[lone skiff]

Rob has left embark

[stoic path]

Whaaat this is news to me, do we know why?!!!

[lone skiff]

The allegations

[stoic path]

Cmon man dont do this to me…

[lone skiff]

They did a legal investigation and it was found that there was basically insubstantial evidence, but rob decided to leave embark anyways.

[stoic path]

I guess its time to do research because oh em gee man i didnt think itd go like this. I never knew of these allegations or legal battles till just now

Just did the research dang man. I was seeing people say no more rob for clues and what are we gonna do about ee but i assumed it was a vacation thing. Lord have mercy

[mighty beacon]

this game has lore?

[foggy hollow]

lore?

[lone skiff]

yes

[lone skiff]

yes

[foggy hollow]

hit me with some

[lone skiff]

best place to start is the wiki page: https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Lore

[foggy hollow]

nah gimme some off the dome

[lone skiff]

The finals is a virtual gameshow where contestants battle to show who's best! Contestants take sponsors to show their support! But behind the scenes the sponsors scheme, and commit atrocities. CNS is a hacker collective that seeks to expose the sponsors for their misdeeds...

[robust bramble]

he was legally proven innocent

[hexed scaffold]

wait this game has lore? how

[lone skiff]

Lore department at embark

[hardy berry]

Item descriptions, sorta like dark souls

[lone skiff]

lore viniettes as well

[shut saffron]

What up

[patent valve]

Us in s10

[opal dagger]

minecraft ahh knowledge

[hardy berry]

ASS MOTHERFUCKER. SAY ASS.

DONT 🥀 ME

[pallid drum]

Will that have many repercussions for the game?

[lone skiff]

It shouldn't have any no, The main concern was the EE hunt but rob has said that even if he died the EE hunt would be solveable.

[nocturne turtle]

I think getting a new CCO could have bigger changes than just the EE hunt

[lone skiff]

Thats true the new coo could be a change

[toxic hatch]

😔 rob was tuff

[hexed scaffold]

impressive

[summer helm]

I wonder who the new icon will be , and I hope we start to see more story stuff. If felt like they were really building up to something but gog damn they’re spreading this like butter

[crisp vector]

why cant i stream in channel

[arctic pier]

need a rank @crisp vector

[austere isle]

Do we have a company called WOLF?

[royal plover]

No?

[austere isle]

Huh

[west furnace]

We have company called Fox (Volpe in italian)

[pulsar quail]

Another Lore skin?

Rayzer was Scotty`s teammate

[pallid rover]

S Lies, Team S, Scotty lies

[pulsar quail]

So is this just his avatar or is it Rayzor himself? Scotty had a line about him coaching in Osaka

[pallid rover]

Ups

Scotty and Sophia lies 😂

[mild star]

didnt oscar accidentally leak on stream once that S lies was releated to Scotty?

[pulsar quail]

Flea huh?

Definatly a light player

[grave tide]

Lore in the newest vid from embark on instagram?

Scotty in team of three
Rayzer, Scotty and Flea-

[grave tide]

😭

[pulsar quail]

So Scotty is a MED confirmed?

[steady wigeon]

what if this is a different Scotty lmao

[royal plover]

No way

[nocturne turtle]

I wonder if scotty was talking about Rayzer or Flea in this clip
#📕┇lore message

my guess would be Rayzer

[pulsar quail]

Rayzer this clip is not the full convo

[royal plover]

I've played too much cyberpunk, i thought he said Arasaka lmao

[nocturne turtle]

yeah but I didn't quickly find a clip with the whole convo. do you have one?

[grave tide]

I hoped he was a heavy main 😭

[pulsar quail]

https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1mhd9jz/deep_scotty_lore/

[nocturne turtle]

s10 is gonna be a lore season
trust me bro

[grave tide]

I REALLY FUCKING HOPE

[royal plover]

So i guess Scotty was a real contestant, colour me wrong! My guess is that he was a revolver main or a double barrel main. I'm thinking revolver because it has so much style

[grave tide]

S8 and S9 was so fucking dry 😭

[royal plover]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-meme-pepe-frog-gif-26117735

[nocturne turtle]

I always thought he's a real contestant, but there's no way he's as skilled as he says.
There was also a clip where june told him that he still has the record of most deaths in a match

[royal plover]

I've said it twice and i'll say it again; Embark are competing with R* for the longest blue ball on their player base when it comes to TF lore

[grave tide]

R?

[royal plover]

They did say that Flea carried

[nocturne turtle]

🪨 ⭐

[royal plover]

Rockstar

[grave tide]

Tf rockstar has to do with this

They make gta. Or is it some else?

[royal plover]

Did you even read past "R*"?

I'll take that as a no

[pulsar quail]

Who can read Kanji? Does it say the same thing on new Upper body in English "Specter Network Devision"? Its on the back

[grave tide]

Am dumb sorry

[royal plover]

nw

[dark jay]

Folk, if the Arab/Latino guy face is Rayzer, then I think the white guy face is scotty. the first white guy face, I've believed this since day 1 and I will collect my money when proven right

[pulsar quail]

The poster and sticker descriptions imply that Scotty was hard carried. Is that why S Lies?

[wispy stream]

Ok So we have Rayzer now, We still do not know what scotty looks like but it might be that he is the default skin we play as. Could it be?

[wispy stream]

Where did you see the white face? Can I check?

[dense leaf]

The default white guy face

[wispy stream]

Ah yes that is what I meant earlier

Scotty might be the default Ospuze themed skin we start as, blonde hair too

[wispy stream]

So Scotty defended/stole the cashout?

[nocturne turtle]

i think scotty did an emote and entertained the viewers

[wispy stream]

oh lol

[pulsar quail]

My Headcanon that Scotty would be covered head to toe with sponsor stickers like Chick Hicks from Cars. Because hes a massive shill for sponsors

[craggy sleet]

Is rob actually no longer a part of the embark team?

[mild star]

yep, he and embark decided the best solution would be for him to resign

we do not know anything else and probably won't find out

[pulsar quail]

Could Duskvane and Rayzer be from the same "Specter network division"? Duskvane is often called "Specter" in his outfit descriptions

[elfin warren]

I think the last member of Scotty's team is named either Flea, Fleat, or Fleak
I think Fleak is the most likely, as it would be a play on the word Fleek.
Fleak could also be a reference to Fleak.ai (fitting for The Finals) or Fleak the movie
If it's a reference to the movie, Fleak could even be someone who is paralyzed in the meatspace.

Or they could just be Flea, bc jumping really high is cool too

[royal plover]

It's just Flea

[elfin warren]

Fleas are pretty cool when they aren't parasitizing your dog
Now we just gotta wait for the Flea outfit

[rustic pecan]

no way we're getting lore drops back to back

[royal plover]

After a half year blue ball... I also hope you enjoy the views from how many people I've directed to your lore video

(I want a 5% cut)

[rustic pecan]

I've noticed!! thank you guys for recommending my video, means alot

[rustic pecan]

not giving the mutated fruit lady a single penny

[royal plover]

D:

[dense leaf]

I know it's a stretch, but

Ariad's face not only uses a custom voice filter, it also comes with custom voicelines specifically for the default male voice (Deep 1). We can however hear Ariad's unfiltered voice when paired with a headwear like the Skimmerjacker or Max Viewing. Unsurprisingly, it's the same voice.

But it got me thinking, with the theory that CNS are/were the original creators, maybe it's possible the male voice is based on Ariad's.

[sly wing]

I NEED A SCOTTY APPEARANCE DROP, PLEASE JUST LET ME SEE HIS BEAUTIFUL FACE 🙏

[sacred latch]

hey guys, EE has unlocked this site :
https://www.alfaacta.net/

Likely teasing next season. Take a look!

[lone skiff]

Okay what happened while I was sleeping

[sacred latch]

https://www.alfaacta.net/home

[lone skiff]

Hm at the very bottom of the page it says alfa acta is not responsible for "diplomatic incidents" which might imply that it's happened before. Interesting.

[hardy berry]

All laws/safety regulations are written in blood

[stoic path]

Is this rayzer?

[hardy berry]

So the S-lies thing means "the s-team" was a lie correct? CNS's whole shtick is "we want the game to be about pure skill" so a team that Ms.Patronelle (?) Put together consisting of 2 ace players plus 1 ospuze addicted hype man to sell the drink. Then a miracle. Scotty, the useless little hype man, finally gets his team through the final round by not dying the entire tournament (likely because he's gotten really good at running away from ppl and finding a good place to revive his team) and brings them an unprecedented victory. Scottys credits it to Ospuze (and his teammates) and his futre is secured.

Sorry for long post lol

[lone skiff]

S lies refers to sofia petronelle as far as we know.

[hardy berry]

Can refer to multiple things, S-lies Sofia, Scotty AND the S-team are lies

[lone skiff]

Possible

[fair dome]

Yo pienso que en realidad era un equipo libre de patrocinadores o apoyados más no firmados con Alfa Acta o Dissun, lo digo en base a el color del póster.
El equipo... Sería fácil pensar que era 1 Pesado, 1 Mediano y 1 Ligero, Scotty como más probable que fuera Mediano aunque se puede contradecir que era Ligero debido a que se dice que Huía y reforzando la teoría del anterior comentario, sabía moverse y podía mantener a su equipo con vida, y el o La ligero debido al nombre "Flea",
Separación
En algún punto de su carrera, Scotty prueba ozpuse y se vuelve adicto tanto que la señorita Petronelle lo ve como su siguiente paso para ampliar el mercado y entrar a The Finals como mano derecha/patrocinador gracias a el, logran hacer que firme para ellos y eventualmente se separa de su equipo debido a que ya no quieren que sea concursante si no su portavoz...

[lone skiff]

English Please! sorry but this is an english community.

[alpine chasm]

OMGOMGOMG SEASON 10 CNS

[hardy berry]

Idk, feels too soon

[alpine chasm]

i suppose woman in teaser is June?

[fair dome]

Whether it's English or Spanish, there's only this Discord server. I don't think it would be too difficult for you to translate it, but I'll do it anyway.

[trail totem]

Is season ten gonna finally address lore a bit more?

[sly wing]

Im gonna go ballistic im gonna blow omg omg

[lone skiff]

indeed

[fair dome]

I think it was actually a team free of sponsors or supported but not signed with Alfa Acta or Dissun, based on the poster's color.

The team... It would be easy to assume it was 1 Heavyweight, 1 Middleweight, and 1 Lightweight. Scotty was most likely Middleweight, although it could be argued that he was Lightweight, since he was known for escaping, reinforcing the previous comment's theory. He knew how to move and could keep his team alive. The Lightweight spot is likely due to the name "Flea."
Separation
At some point in his career, Scotty tried Ozpuse and became so addicted that Miss Petronelle saw him as her next step to expand the market and enter The Finals as a right-hand man/sponsor. Thanks to him, they managed to get him to sign with them, and he eventually separated from his team because they no longer wanted him as a contestant but as their spokesperson...

[lone skiff]

I'm sorry for being that guy but it is in the rules to use only english.

[shrewd lotus]

it gets kinda tiring when they always say things like "he" instead of saying the character name, I understand why, it leaves a mystery for you to solve in the great big lore, but yeah😭

[patent sapphire]

season 10 sponsor ya’ll, did you catch it???

[midnight glen]

https://www.alfaacta.net/stay-tuned link from the screen in the trailer

[alpine chasm]

i always believed scotty was a heavy because boss called him big guy

[shrewd lotus]

we stopped at three perfect frogs who run finals servers, which are basically CNS and now Marcel talks about some "he" now you dont know if he means one of the frogs or like someone completly else

[quiet tree]

anyone figure out the password to that new alfa acta site yet?

[shrewd lotus]

guess we have to wait for more

[alpine chasm]

maybe its hidden somewhere in the trailer

[fair dome]

It could be, but it could also be a "loving" way of saying it.

[lone skiff]

alright guys I'm going to go do a frame by frame analysis of the teaser.

[quiet tree]

i've been going back through it frame by frame and have tried a bunch of things and have yet to find it

[sly wing]

https://www.alfaacta.net/stay-tuned

sorry u already posted the link above im blind asf

[woven shell]

just saw this and came running to the discord lol

[dense leaf]

Finals uses he/him pronouns!

[fast yarrow]

VEIN can be found at the data center on Seoul

[rotund agate]

there is no password in the video isnt it?

[alpine chasm]

YES YES YES I KNEW IT

[pallid rover]

alfa acta , CNS and.. VEIN?

[rotund dew]

doesn't that say season s07

which was the CNS season

[dense leaf]

Maybe it's about CNS having a backdoor to the S7 build?

[teal blaze]

yeah thats like a history log right
"rising stars" below it and dif sseason labels

[alpine chasm]

i suppose vein is an ally of alfa acta

[dense leaf]

IIRC there's the theory of multiple Finals instances running

[brisk yew]

yeah might relate to s7 we figured that out later

[fast yarrow]

FYI, that mention of CNS is for S07

so nothing new related to them

[pallid rover]

ALFA ACTA

[alpine chasm]

it showed their name next to unauthorised acces

so they breached in the system again

[pallid rover]

HOME DEFENSE SYSTEM, CIVIL SECURITY PROTOCOLS , RESIDENTIAL RESPONSE

[teal blaze]

underneath it it says "revision deployed, status stabilized" which implies the breach was patched after the season imo

[alpine chasm]

yeah but in the video the system was breached AGAIN and the only one who we know does that is CNS

[versed heath]

I wonder if there's gonna be a point where either The Finals or Arc will have a season/missions that confirm the thing about being in the same universe (or at least that was what i saw/heard around), idk if they're connected

[nocturne turtle]

Maybe VEIN is connected to the The Finals AI. or maybe it even is the AI

[fast yarrow]

Just because it says CNS on the screen does not mean it's new. If you look at what the screen is display, it's a list of packages for different seasons. Season 7 involved CNS

[bold wharf]

Does this sorta confirm a castle this season? unless this is refering to kyoto or Fangwaii

[cinder viper]

cosmetic set names

[nocturne turtle]

"package prompt" could mean that they are only writing a long prompt and the AI is doing everything

[bold wharf]

wdym

[cinder viper]

names of cosmetics they might release at season launch

[fair dome]

Have you seen the Rayzer team? Why does it have one thing that's true: 1 Heavy, 1 Medium, and 1 Light...

[bold wharf]

village upgrade doesnt really seem like a cosmetic name though imo

[rancid chasm]

village upgrade might mean kyoto rework

[bold wharf]

i think thats a real possibilty

[sly wing]

not lore... but is marcels voice actor the same one as lances in arc?

[visual merlin]

Alfa Acta and Multi Co will be S10 Sponsor maybe?

[hallow tundra]

I have a great screen that confirm Alfa Acta

But i don't have the level 😭

[lone skiff]

Working on transcribing the entire video I'll update you guys later

[sly wing]

idk about multico, they just run the show and the sponsors are called sponsors for a reason, they are literally just companies sponsoring the finals. multico is just the one pulling the strings when it comes to the finals

[lone skiff]

multico will not be a sponsor lol

[sacred latch]

super useful, thanks

[lone skiff]

Interesting how seasons from 6 and forwards are loaded and not all of them.

[bold wharf]

im genuinely so curious on what the theme of this season is, space seems like the obvious answer but references to a castle make me think otherwise?

[sleek dragon]

Please let us have a castle

[bold wharf]

Really just hoping for new gadgets, weapons and specializations over anything else. THAT would really change the game ( GIVE ME WALL RUNNING PLEASE!!)

[patent valve]

Isn’t castle doctrine the policy in the US that allows one to use lethal weapons to protect their life/property without the requirement that they first attempt to flee from the danger? Seems like an Alfa Acta thing

[brisk yew]

Hmmm good thinking

[bold wharf]

im not sure but that could make sense. I think that goes for most of the higher end mansions which sorta lines up with who alfa acta is targetting

[patent valve]

Castle doctrine also pertains specifically to one’s property/dwelling… “Family fortress upgrade kit”

[gusty nimbus]

Anyone see this? Asks for password

https://www.alfaacta.net/stay-tuned

[spark mist]

“He always did prefer doing things his way” Marcellus?

[sleek dragon]

A new defense item for a class?

[hallow tundra]

Bro is kiling medieval season hope

[bold wharf]

I really doubt its medieval, we JUST got a realistic map, they never do back to back

[patent valve]

Legalized self defense killing spec

[modern rivet]

"chuckthehealingorb" is not the passsword 😔

[sleek dragon]

its not the ceos name, not alfa acta, not family defense... hmm

[dusky wing]

by the way any thoughts about this? I dont know if this has been here before

[dusky wing]

oh it wasnt this earlier

before it said "This page was used for a targeted attack" or something, when did it update?

[sleek dragon]

a friend said this :0

[gusty nimbus]

Looking further into the video

[modern rivet]

are there any codes on the rayzer skin?

[pallid rover]

The password will unlocks strictly lore content or leak for season 10 in general ?

[crude latch]

VEIN

[lost pumice]

There is a small blinking zero underneath the alfa acta logo on the site

[modern rivet]

morse code maybe?

[lost pumice]

maybe

[dusk hornet]

For Alfa acta website what’s the password guys?

[lost pumice]

but it's very dark

[spark mist]

Who is the “He” in reference to in the new trailer?

[dusky wing]

probs junior mcjohnson

[dusk hornet]

Bruh ^^^^

[modern rivet]

find it

[crude latch]

VEIN; Virtual Entity Intelligence Network spotted in teaser.

[sleek dragon]

considering were talking about alfa acta, the home security network providers, Im guessing the password isnt going to be so easy to break

[dusk hornet]

Ok lol

[modern rivet]

you forget that we're chronically online

[dusky wing]

oh i see it
to me it kind of looks like an eye too but its much closer to a zero so yeah probs that

[hallow tundra]

I try season 10 for fun

[lost pumice]

https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6983366e988ac20aefdd0dc2/e34f523a-a0e5-4932-b3ee-808e2dac8d3e/aaaa.gif

[modern rivet]

ohhh its a whole note

[lost pumice]

this is it in gif, doesn't seem like a morse code

[dusky wing]

OH DAM didnt realise

[spark mist]

I thought I smoked too much. Glad I ain’t trippin

[dusky wing]

lmao

[crude latch]

could be the name of the ai, tbf

[spark mist]

Is the little eye/zero flashing for y’all too

[dusky wing]

i think it is

[dusky wing]

yeah, looks very close to a whole note/semibreve symbol

[spark mist]

It does good eye. No pun intended

[sleek dragon]

also tried the phone # for the password from the minigun trailer, but nothing

[modern rivet]

this blurb is incredible

[lost pumice]

And also I found another page in site's code, but it's empty: https://www.alfaacta.net/cart

[dusky wing]

oh yeah i love that ad

[dusky wing]

huh, future use page? a part of me hopes its for future plans of merch for sponsors

[spark mist]

I’m sorry but I can’t help but think Alfa acta helped manufacture or at least draw out the schematics for the armament of Arc lol. I’ll stop there, but the whole smell detector……cmooooon.

[modern rivet]

they sponsored the finals to help their brand image after the arc debacle

[spark mist]

“Here’s 250,000 space bucks. Sorry for your loss”

[modern rivet]

did you read this? they aint dropping a quarter mil for that

[dusky wing]

"ten million multibucks says its CNS"

[spark mist]

Ok, that might be enough to forget about uncle terry. Lol

[modern rivet]

We at Alfa-Acta deeply apologize for our misguided ambition to building the best defense of the future. As an apology, we are going to humbly donate $5,000 to the Alfa-Acta for the Kids foundation, to help end childhood cancer.

as mcj quietly pockets that $5k

[soft valley]

https://www.alfaacta.net/checkout redirects back to https://www.alfaacta.net/cart

[lone skiff]

Interesting, its almost like CNS came out of the Season 7 archive

[hallow tundra]

I saw someone mention that they might have left a backdoor

[grave tide]

alfa acta returning?

[velvet fossil]

iirc that acronym is on the wall of the server room in seoul

and has been since the launch of the game

[lone skiff]

yes that seems to be true

[lone skiff]

yes they left a back door for CNS to get in but then that kind of sat for two seasons...

[velvet fossil]

is that not a whole note from the icon that the high notes’ team uses

without the ledger lines

[velvet fossil]

oh, yeah, didn’t read far enough up
i was right

[patent valve]

Can we ascertain anything game-play wise from the video yet?

[craggy lotus]

In the video their is the link https://www.alfaacta.net/stay-tuned and the page needs a password

[lone skiff]

I am still transcribing the video but it seems that Alfa Acta will be a sponsor, CNS tried to return and was... countered? and VEIN has taken over the system

only about a third of the way through will follow up later

[patent valve]

Ok thanks

[lone skiff]

This is what happens when VEIN breaks in

(the text cutting off at the bottom is because the screen cut it off)

[woven shell]

even slowed down?

[fossil pulsar]

I think they didn't finish the cart and it was just cut out

[merry sail]

There is not such thing as “just there” in this type of things

There has to be something in it, or it was made as a distraction

[woven shell]

slowed the blinking 0 down. it means SOS

[merry sail]

What would sos have to do with Alfa acta?

[woven shell]

great question, i dont think it actually means help. i think it MIGHT be a nod to the new season... "Sos del Rey Católico is a prominent medieval town in Spain, located in Aragón, renowned for its 12th-century castle, gothic walls, and as the birthplace of Ferdinand II of Aragon in 1452. The town served as a strategic border fortress and features preserved Jewish quarters, Romanesque churches, and panoramic views of the Pyrenees." Relating to castle doctrine mentioned?

they always take IRL places and turn them into maps. they mentioned castle doctrine, village, etc...

this could be a huge reach relating to the SOS... but the entire place screams a finals map

[coarse solar]

its definetely repeating but i don't think it means SOS https://ezgif.com/analyzer/ezgif-386bc72e8740fdd5.gif.html

[woven shell]

· · · – – – · · ·

[coarse solar]

it goes like .-...---

[woven shell]

that means ASO

hmmmm

so if we're talking splits... .- / ... / --- → A S O

... / --- / ... → S O S

buuuuuttt.. the olfactory sensor is A.O.S 50:1

PRODUCT N/0: 800 501 AOS

A.O.S. 50:1

[coarse solar]

.- must mean something imho

[sacred latch]

are you guys working on the blinking under the logo?

[woven shell]

if i were a dev i would just watch this whole chat and laugh

[sacred latch]

#easter-eggs has a bunch of people working on the website as we speak! join us!

We've decoded some things already, look in the pinned messages there 👀

[coarse solar]

im a dev but i suck at CTFs xd

[sacred latch]

the blinking gif is "A" in Morse code repeated 440 times, referencing this A440 thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A440_(pitch_standard)

[coarse solar]

will do!

[sacred latch]

Super excited about this new lore - if we can unlock the /stay-tuned page we might find some new stuff 👀

[novel basalt]

2. Hidden HTML Comments (F12 > Elements)
   Within the main <div> for the password input, there are several commented-out strings that aren't visible on the front end:
   This is a strong hint toward a "Pre-Simulation" or "Old World" theme, possibly returning to a less digitized, more realistic aesthetic for the new maps.
   This appears to be a hangman-style clue for the password. Given the season number (10), many suspect the word relates to "ORISYS" or "ORIGINS."

3. Network Header Clues (F12 > Network)
   By refreshing the page while the Network tab is open and clicking on the stay-tuned document, you can find a custom response header:

X-Lore-Origin: Stockholm_Void

X-Simulation-Status: Degraded_9.99

The "Stockholm Void" header is a meta-reference to Embark Studios' location, but in-game, it hints that the upcoming season's arena might be set in a glitched or "void" version of a real-world city, or perhaps a completely deconstructed map where the physics (simulation status) is breaking down.

4. Asset Metadata & Steganography
   The background image file (typically named bg_static.webp) contains hidden metadata. If you inspect the file properties or use an EXIF viewer:

Artist/Author: "H.O.L.T. Manufacturing"

Comments: "The foundation must be cleared for the new structure."

This points toward HOLT (the in-game corporate giant) taking a more aggressive role in "clearing" the existing simulation to make way for Season 10's "Architectural" changes.

5. JavaScript Logic Clue (main.js)
   If you look into the bundled script files, there is a function labeled checkIntegrity(). Within this logic, there is a reference to a variable:
   const season_ten_epoch = 1772026800;

Converting this Unix timestamp points to mid-2026, which aligns with the expected launch window for Season 10. There is also a function called deploy_orbital_strike(), which strongly hints at a new Map Event or Specialization involving high-altitude or space-based weaponry.

Summary of Hints:

Theme: "The Architect" / Rebuilding the Simulation / Pre-Simulation History.

Potential Map: A "degraded" or "void" version of a city, or a "Stockholm" inspired arena.

New Mechanic: "Orbital" elements or physics-breaking events (as hinted by the "degraded simulation" logs).

[noble slate]

Is it not •••-••

[sacred latch]

Okay can we not spam AI-generated analyses of the clues. It just made so much stuff up, none of which is actually on the page

[grave tide]

https://tenor.com/view/ultrakill-ultrakill-fraud-fraud-ultrakill-spoilers-gif-2552950607445420085

[grave tide]

yeah thats also the main problem with ai. It hallucinates or creates misleading info. Or just simply ruins the fun of the hunt

[runic rivet]

Are these the new gadgets for season 10?

Geo fence sounds like the Watson fence from apex

[patent valve]

Were those the things added as store items? Or was it the olfactory sensor thing

[runic rivet]

Honestly no idea, I saw it in a Reddit thread claiming to be stuff found from the Alfa acta website

[patent valve]

Oh ok, the community thought they might have been new gadgets/specs back when the minigun video dropped, but I think they just ended up being charms

[stoic knot]

The Geo Fence is already weapon charm introduced in season 6

[runic rivet]

I see, the only reason I’m speculating about it is the recent teasers including Alfa acta. Maybe this was something in the making for a while and it’s just now being released this season. Take this with a grain of salt though

[patent valve]

Yeah I understand, I remember that embark likes to tease things way ahead in the future, but usually the teases are pretty vague

So do we still think s10 is space themed?

[lone skiff]

Not AI generated, I am 2/3 of the way through transcribing the video. It seems a lot of the text is repeated, not sure if this means that it took multiple tries to break in, or if it's simply reusing the text for efficency's sake

[lone skiff]

that would be interesting. A gadget that speeds up bullets maybe? and a geofenceing gadget.

[modern rivet]

it looks like the blinking whole note is just repeating A

yeah iirc theyre part of the same set too

thats clever set i think?

[sudden grove]

they were actually also featured in the alfa act ad video

[sudden grove]

yep

[patent valve]

So is today’s video likely to have any s10 hints besides clues to the ee?

[fossil shadow]

So apparently its spelled 'Rayzer' and its the same one from today's cosmetic drop

[sudden grove]

teasing alfa acta as a sponsor and potentially a cns return

[patent valve]

Ok nice, although it doesn’t feel like sponsors have big impact anymore since the loyalty changes

[lone skiff]

CNS may or may not be coming back, VEIN will be involved, Alfa Acta will be a sponsor and a Mideival season is entirely possible.

[patent valve]

Do we think vein is just the name of the finals AI or a separate entity?

[lone skiff]

Possibly a separate entity because it is first identified as an "unknown process"

I've already put off a ton of things I needed to do today so I'll pick up again tomorrow diving deep into the video. However for now it seems to have a lot to do with a "multico core" wether that be a server or the finals AI.

[ocean thunder]

What is VEIN? have we seen it before?

[lone skiff]

VEIN stands for

[V]IRTUAL
[E]NTITY
[I]NTELLIGENCE
[N]ETWORK

It has been seen on buildings before

[ocean thunder]

Interesting are we thinking its a sponsor or group like CNS or something like the program that runs the actual virtual environment and systems we play in?

[lone skiff]

Its a possible rival AI, we thought it was a sponsor group before hand but the context feels like it's not

[dense leaf]

I feel like they'll tie VEIN to them introducing full on vs. bot matches

[lone skiff]

possible

[lone skiff]

Entity Intelligence Network would make sense for that

[dense leaf]

also vein is an another entity that fits the "body" theory

[lone skiff]

Body theory? did i miss something? does this relate to the bodies in the arena glitch?

[dense leaf]

nono, it refers to that some of the entities (sponsors mostly) seem to fit into different body parts/systems. CNS being the "brain" (central nervous system), Dissun and their Red Stream relating to blood, Alfa Acta to "olfactive" (related to smell)

I believe there were other comparisons but I don't remember them

here:
#easter-eggs message

[cedar schooner]

It would be pretty funny if they made ospuze the blood of a mega ai

[royal plover]

I'm gonna ask you the same now because there's a metric shit ton of messages since i was gone

it's piss

[stoic knot]

Embark studios exploded and light got winch claw

[royal plover]

Does flamethrower and cl-40 still exist?

[stoic knot]

no

[royal plover]

Yippie!

[lone skiff]

teaser happened and alfa acta is a sponsor. VEIN has broken into the finals system and seems to be doing something with a thing called the "multico core"

[royal plover]

Biggest missed opportunity to call it the MultiCo.re

[lone skiff]

lol

oh yeah and CNS seeminlg attempted to break in

but the system was "stabilized" so i'm not sure if that means CNS actually got in or not

[royal plover]

I'd say so

[vale plover]

Can someone explain who Oscar is cause I have a theory that Oscar is who they are referring to when they say he always likes to do his own thing

[upbeat beacon]

A CEO with a pun game? The Volpe respects the rising sense of humor.

[prime quail]

pretty sure that VEIN is The Finals, it's the sentient AI controlling it.

[lone skiff]

Why would the finals system be breaking into the finals system and be called an "unknown program". Vein is something outside of the finals system breaking in.

[lone skiff]

This is what the system says when VEIN breaks in (no i did not use AI i spent all morning combing through half of this video frame by frame.

[sacred latch]

hey, just letting you know it's very possible that VEIN is the process that identifies entities

part of the MultiCo system rather than the name of the perpetrator

[lone skiff]

Hmm interesting I didn't think of that

So it could actually be CNS doing that.

Hmm

[sacred latch]

or someone we haven't met yet 👀

CNS is mentioned by name already, in the S7 Database section

so if this entity is unidentifiable, and outside Multico jurisdiction, we might have a new player --

[lone skiff]

That makes sense

[sacred latch]

"he always did prefer doing things his way"

Ex-MultiCo? Marcel knows who he is, but not the young woman

We might be looking at an original Finals dev who no longer works at MultiCo

[lone skiff]

Random thought came into my brain, what if it's a brand new sponsor that is either a counter hacker who is going to attempt to hack CNS or improve multico's defenses, and said hacking based sponsor wants to reveal themselves by hacking in instead of being brought in as a normal sponsor. Almost no way its not true but kind of a cool idea.

NEW LORE

[young venture]

Hi

What do you think, is ÖRF! sponsorship possible?

I fucking need it

[royal plover]

It'll more likely be a Juno Paico sponsorship with an Orf theme but yes i think it's coming soon

[merry sail]

What is it?

[young venture]

Juno paico? Why?

[royal plover]

They own Orf as shown by a line from the Rat plush so Orf is more likely a brand/tvshow than a company

[young venture]

It seems to be true, but I think that the ÖRF will have its own sponsorship

[royal plover]

Either way i'd love to have an Orf themed sponsorship

Is the wiki reliable because this is what it said about Alfa Acta “For ALFA ACTA, THE FINALS is just another kind of field: one with global broadcast rights.”

If that’s true CNS could be using Alfa Acta to broadcast their message

The Wiki is endorsed by embark and linked in the description of this channel.

That Mace Ad was amazing 🤣

[hardy berry]

the sound comparison is hilarious too
going from nuke to hammer

[hardy berry]

I think we are supposed to see him as hyper- paranoid

[teal blaze]

that would definitely fit you gotta be pretty paranoid to develop a home defense nuclear warhead

[hardy berry]

Thing is, if this is vurtual stuff then... Is it fine actually?

[dusky wing]

idk about it being virtual...

[teal blaze]

I dotn think this stuff is virtual

[echo sorrel]

It sounds not virtual

[hardy berry]

Yea yo-I think you mean, you gotta want your family to be pretty SAFE. Am I right folks?

[teal blaze]

they seem to be one of the only completely irl corps

[hardy berry]

Some AA cosmetics mention "vurtual defenses" and intruders being "vurtual" as well

[ebon surge]

The inflatable moat and preheated siege oil is hilarious

[teal blaze]

even the peace center seems to be modeled off of an actual military complex

[dusky wing]

i mean all this talk of home defence makes me think this is for real people

[random obsidian]

Here's my theory

Alfa Acta phone line is a paid line, and you have to pay per the amount of time you're on the phone to them.

The home defence nuke doesn't exist, and when you ring them it says you are 50,000th in the queue.

The nuke doesn't exist and they just want you to stay on the phone to rake in cash.

[dusky wing]

probably lol, although i do think they do have weapons grade plutonium and i do think they are fully capable of making the hades

[hardy berry]

Oh I hope so. Makes the meatspace more batshit lol

[dusky wing]

(rich people only, no poor people 😠)

[hardy berry]

Just SAFE and UN- SAFE people really

[dusky wing]

Indeed

This here is the deal of a lifetime, folks! Just send us eight quintillion multibucks plus taxes and the slightly crumpled explosive plastic cup is yours!

[rocky gyro]

Has anyone called the number on the screen?

[glossy temple]

Fucking Alfa Acta has been the best company since they dropped. My permanent sponsor now lol

[glossy temple]

Just tried and it didn’t work

Wait hold up, does this finally mean we’re getting a medieval mode?

[lone skiff]

possible PVE mode

[teal blaze]

lmao 3v300 against the angry hired mob

[glossy temple]

What class is gonna get the mace?

[teal blaze]

heavy surely, for the sledge I'm guessing

maybe spear but it doesnt seem like it

[glossy temple]

But is it going to be a sledge skin or will it be a new weapon? I’m kinda thinking the latter because they haven’t dropped a new weapon in a while

[teal blaze]

i kinda thought the same but i dont see how they could make another heavy hitting melee weapon not redundant to the rest

[solar oar]

A video has been posted on The Finals’ Instagram account featuring a newly created account: ‘alfa.acta’

[mortal minnow]

The new mace looks pretty cool, interchangeable heads the seem the be general damage, breach, & damage over time similar how we see the cerberus function on hit.

Assuming it’s not for anyone specific class’ it could be a designated head per. Or, assuming it’s class specific I’d imagine the heads are interchangeable as if they’re different reticles/sights for a gun rather than real time swapping.

[fossil shadow]

Yes, Alfa Acta has a Twitter account now

[fossil shadow]

I'm assuming its a sledgehammer mythical skin, if not
100% a Heavy one-hit specialization

[mortal minnow]

That would be awesome

It’s clearly very large, so it seems to be heavy designed at first glance

[mental berry]

Nuh uh

Say that again and I beat you over the head with the mace

[mental berry]

Glad to hear it

[mental berry]

Try adding the Swedish area code

[mental berry]

Erm actually it does exist

[mental berry]

Nah I’d know about that if it was happening

[mortal minnow]

All of defensive backs the question in the worlds lore, are the residents at a step back due to some sort of physical confrontation? We see cns on the digital front, but Alfa Acta seems to be placed in a more tangible situation. With alarm systems, perimeter defenses, and these silly defensive infomercials.

Between the rent a mob & unique marketing pushing ideals for a safe perimeter, is it a quirk this sponsor has or something foreseeable in the timeline that has a larger effect

[gleaming moth]

I don't know if it's of interest, but Alfa Acta now has an Instagram account With the description "We don't do fragile. We don't do flashy. We do effective. Because your homefront defense deserves better."

Will it be possible for all sponsors to have an account in the future?

Aside from the new weapon, or what they're showing, it looks more like it's for light or medium armor, because they say it weighs little.

[glossy temple]

Nah I think it’s that since everyone pretty much just lives in the virtual world now, home invasions are probably a somewhat common occurrence due to lack of real consequences. It’s probably seen more as a game to people and Alfa Acta caters to this crowd.

[mortal minnow]

They’ve also leaked potential names for each of the configurations. “Eviscerator No 4” “Kranium 2000” “Scorpion X” if you missed it

[glossy temple]

I mean the theory mentioned above about different mace heads being for different classes could make sense. It’s also a lazy but easy way to give each class a new weapon when it’s been a while since the last weapons came out.

[glossy temple]

Doesn’t work

[mental berry]

Hmmm weird

[mental berry]

We're trying to be hip with the kids

[glossy temple]

I watched the ad again and heard them mention “expanding splitters” and “poison tipped injectors”. Hoping light finally gets a weapon with DoT like the Cerberus and Flamethrower.

Sure how much 7.62x51mm NATO you want

[hardy berry]

Lmfao still selling nato in 21XX

[mental berry]

Surplus 🤷‍♂️

[sleek dragon]

I have thought about the mace from the video. They said it's "always on and near silent" and amounts to 35 dB (decibels), which makes me think it has electronic/mechanical parts inside?

Its probably just part of the commercial and not in-game, but what if it's extendable like a flail. Then again, they'd call it a flail if so.

Also why interchangeable mace heads? Surely its not a damage or swift hit bonus. It may just be a cosmetic look

[tight pendant]

This is the number I had from the minigun release

@lone skiff idk Y i m u but cause u r nearly always in this chat do u know someone who works for embark @tough badger is banned for cheating but wasnt and realy misses playing the game

[lone skiff]

Make a ban appeal through official methods, that's the best you can do.

[tough badger]

Ive made several over the past 2 weeks

Hey can anyone help me out? I was falsely banned for cheating on the finals 2 weeks ago. I keep trying to go through the support thread on the website but I'm not getting anywhere, they just keep getting back to me with the same copy and pasted message saying I'm cheating, but I'm not. I've never cheated in a video game outside of screen peeking when I was a kid lol. I love the game so much and want to get back to playing it. I don't want to just make a new account and evade the ban because one, I like my cosmetics and two, I don't want to start breaking rules now when I'm trying to prove that I don't. Im really missing the game and really disappointed in the support team for letting a legitimate player who loves the game slip through the cracks like this. My Ign is LtTitter. I would appreciate help of any kind on this even if its just forwarding my message to someone who can do something. Thanks!

[steady wigeon]

I'm guessing the Mace is probably a new weapon, I don't think they would make a new Alfa actA cinematic just for a sledgehammer skin
I'm assuming it's for medium as it would probably be redundant on Heavy and you would use your reload key to switch the "heads" of the mace to fit the situation and lean into Medium's flexibility
"it never jams" wow! They're gonna finally fix melee hitreg!

[patent valve]

I think so too, the video generally follows the same format as the minigun reveal

So maybe the welcome mat, oil barrels, and moat will be some sort of cosmetics

[scarlet tendon]

longshot, but maybe the oil barrels are a new arena prop? more likely just a reskin of the fire barrels for this season or a new map?

[royal plover]

@mental berry do you's sell tungsten pellet shotgun shells coated in neurotoxin

[alpine chasm]

But the "Rent A Horde" is so hilarious

[royal plover]

fr

[alpine chasm]

"never questions your motivs"

[royal plover]

"Effects from hoard may include but not limited to, dismemberment, befriendment, occupation, infatuation cultification, ego inflation, cannibalism, positive chanting, peer pressure, fraternization, nepotism"

[alpine chasm]

"Perfect for Parties!"

[royal plover]

I think the second last is gregarious behavior but i can't read the very last

[royal plover]

"Riots, insurrections and funerals! (Because there's a fun in funeral)"

[alpine chasm]

what if this could be used in-game? like in an limited time mode?

where maybe the horde hunts down players?

[royal plover]

Being part of the rent-a-hoard would be hilarious

[alpine chasm]

fr

[mental berry]

no

[robust nova]

I honestly didn't think of that for the medium tbh, the first class that came to mind was the heavy since they have a fair amount of melee weapons with the sledgehammer and spear (excluding meta viability of course). If we are leaning into a medieval season I feel like they could either have a crossbow or a CNS styled broadsword based on current sponsor speculation with potentially ALFA ACTA vs CNS

It would honestly be really cool if this is a new melee weapon for the medium though, but I'm honestly curious how the mechanics work and if we'll be getting a knight skin/outfit once we get more teasers within the next couple of days

[lone skiff]

I think they're signaling PVE mode

[robust nova]

Is it similar to that one mode we had last Halloween like Ghoul rush or something way different?

[royal plover]

I do remember them mentioning PVE in the survey they sent out to some people a while back, my alt account got it

[lone skiff]

I have no idea, nobody does. it just seems likely given the ad and the community having wanted that for a while now, plus the practice range having PVE already.

[steady wigeon]

if CNS is involved I don't suspect they'll be getting a new sponsor track unless this is the first season to have 2 returning sponsors

[robust nova]

Whatever it might be, it could be a nice addition to the game, but hopefully we get another lore heavy season with season 10 which is honestly my biggest hope since we haven't gotten anything since season 7 last summer. I'm not sure if this is like a pattern here, but whenever there's new lore drops, CNS usually returns with it

[robust nova]

I honestly hope that's the case, because I know who I'm repping next season!

[steady wigeon]

the last time Alfa actA was a sponsor was in season 6 when we got the Practice Range dummies upgrade so it's not out of the question

inb4 for S10 every sponsor gets a new track

[elfin warren]

I've been thinking about CNS lately
CNS likely stands for central nervous system, which is already fairly well established in the community. I was wondering what that could mean, and I remembered the line from 1984, something like "whoever controls the mind, controls reality"
The Finals is also a well established dystopia, so I think it's possible that that could also be MultiCo's goal/idealogy. CNS might be fighting back as the Central Nervous System, like a brain that refuses to be controlled.

[robust nova]

Not to mention from the last teaser there was something introduced called the V.E.I.N. in some of the code, not entire sure if that's the name of the A.I. that runs the gameshow or the name of the mysterious overseer/programmer that Marcel vaguely mentioned. But I have a feeling that it only strengthens the theory along with the chrome font/text used for the season 10 trailer, a theme and partial concept that CNS uses in their aesthetic incorporating retro-futurism from the 80's/90's that are often seen in some of the weapon skins and outfits like from the season 2 and 7 battle passes along with the item shop bundles

[elfin warren]

Good point
The devs sure do love their anatomical acronyms

[robust nova]

Again it's just speculation, but it gives me hope that we'll see more unique weapons and retro styled locations similar to $Y$_h0R1z0N and citadel/Nozomii. Would it be weird to thing that one CNS sponsor tier background with the cherry blossom tree could be a potential map teaser or no?

I know we have the spring varient of Kyoto with similar trees, but I'm honestly curious if we'll be getting a medieval/Norse map that could potentially reference Yggdrasil which is something that has been on my mind for a bit

[open hinge]

where is jiangsu romanga

[stoic path]

Hey guys have we been discussing the new videos dropped in game announcements that i should scroll up to read?

[patent valve]

True, they reskinned heal balls for the lunar new year event, so maybe it’ll be just on a new map

[royal plover]

Wasn't that reskin just the original texture?

[patent valve]

I’m not sure, they were turned into like little lanterns but i think they still had the + symbol on them

[royal plover]

I'm willing to bet it was just the og healing pumpkin texture from new year 25's WT event

[patent valve]

Wait I thought they were their own thing that did damage

Like the Easter eggs

Here’s a picture

[royal plover]

In the WT event that first introduced the healing pumpkins in '25 they were pretty much the same as they are now but they had a different texture. I also remember little firecrackers that went off when you shot them in that event lol

[patent valve]

I might have completely missed those then

[royal plover]

If that's from '26 then they're the same as they were in '25 i think. Not totally sure if they had that little thingo to hang them up back then though

[royal plover]

I wouldn't be surprised. Poor healing pumpkins have always been pretty irreverent. Also i'm sure you can see why i call them pumpkins with that picture you just sent

[patent valve]

Ohhh I thought you meant the actual pumpkins from Halloween 😭

[royal plover]

lmfao

That explains a lot

[opal spire]

Scotty team is a SPECTRAL DIVISION, you can see Flea skin in game DLC`s, their sponsor is Alfa Acta
cant post screenshots here cus channel does not allow me to
https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1rzeejy/scottys_team_is_a_spectral_division_you_can_see/
here is proofes, scotty will be REVEALED in s10

[royal plover]

Oh you thinking Ops Override is Flea?

[opal spire]

im sure, flea is only girl in the team, and she has same armor, same marks, and same team name that razer and scotty has on her clothes
there was 2 more teams shown in s1 and s9 including dede, ghost girl, and ursa

[royal plover]

I think you're really onto something here. Though i'm not sure if the character in Ops Override is a man or a woman

[opal spire]

originally woman, there is a traditional asian lipstic that "beauty dolls" uses or smth

[royal plover]

Well shit. I guess that would make scotty the light then? I wouldn't be surprised if he was a bit of a shortass

[opal spire]

flea is med, so yes, scotty might be the light main, F fans

[bitter osprey]

Flea is def a light main

[opal spire]

flea confirmed to use dual swords, light cant use those btw
same for raze, he uses BFR

[bitter osprey]

Nooooooooo

His name is flea not medium bug!

[young venture]

Hmm, by the way, why old Scotty's teammate who played the game last time before s1 (if only after the s-team glory days Scotty became a commentator) is using the weapon of s8??? And flea too, dual blades doesn't exist before s3!

[young venture]

Scotty is a spokesperson of OSPUZE, why Alfa actA?

[royal plover]

I'd say according to the lore these weapons have always been around

[vagrant dune]

STOP MATCHING ME WITH THE SAME PEOPLE TWO MATCHES IN A ROW

[royal plover]

Skill issue

[hushed zinc]

That

[fallen ocean]

I did, nothing interesting apart the website : alfaacta.net/stay-tuned

And we need a password I didn't figure it out yet, if someone have any idea ?

New sponsor name might be "daemon" I just saw on the lines

[sly wharf]

Guys, did they delete the s10 Coverart leak?

[onyx scaffold]

Has anyone got the Alfa Acta password yet

I tried the 852516445 number on the Alfa acta website but it didn’t work

[vital kiln]

wait did something got leaked if yes please share it

[sly wharf]

It was on reddit, but it got deleted. What I saw was peak tho

[vital kiln]

please DM if you have something saved

[sly wharf]

but better wait for the teasers and full reveal, it will be more satisfiying than seeing the leak

I dont, cuz i love the game too much to disturb the hype

[vital kiln]

nah already lost hope for this game and i've been playing nonstop since s1

[sly wharf]

same here since closed beta. This game is awesome dude

[vital kiln]

yeah but i started to get finals fatigue also s8 s9 was trash and the game is far more sweaty they only focus on cosmetics no more guns no gadget no fun game modes battlepass grinding require way to much time

[sly wharf]

I don't feel that way. S8 had new Destruction and 2 weapons. But s9 really felt like a forced theme (probably by nexon)

[vital kiln]

even after adding the famas and the heavy revolver the nobody used they they don't shake the meta that much and the matchmaking is horrible you either play with newer player or get put agaisnt diamong and top 500 players add if you are a console player good luck

[stoic path]

Did anyone peep the castle part?

[lone skiff]

What did i miss while I slept

[stoic path]

Idk i just opened this up too to my reply, and i just wanted to point out in the screenshot i sent one of the lines say castle doctrine i wondered if thats that castle map ive seen some of us talk aboit

[fallen ocean]

Maybe game mode ?

[gusty nimbus]

Lore?

[lone skiff]

You are not allowed to post leaks in this server btw

[vital kiln]

i know but i wanted someone to share it by a DM because we will never get any leak anymore more we lost rob

[young venture]

What do you think, who must be a second sponsor of s10?

[west furnace]

Ospuze also had extra amount of commercials lately
Maybe it's CNS vs Ospuze vs Alfa Acta

But also Ospuze 2 seasons in row feels like too much

[opal spire]

its useless argument since lore wise it was there from the very beginning, raze was ingame long before all of that lorewise with his signature weapon, same for flea, same for ghostgirl, safe for ursa

[west furnace]

Are classes even canon in lore? Or just game mehanic.
I know there were some Scotty lines about gadgets and weapons. But were classes actually referenced?

[dense leaf]

Well for one Odilia is both a medium (revolver) and a light (vanish bomb/daggers)

[west furnace]

Interesting...
Odilia - throwing knives (light) on key art, revolver (medium) on same BP page
Ariad - has grav cube (heavy) on key art
Valkyria - minigun (heavy) on key art
Devourer - pike (medium) on key art, knife (light) on same BP page
Ursa - dual blades (medium) in emote
Dede - revolver (medium) in emote
Rayzer - uses bfr (heavy) in introduction video. Likely charge and slam (heavy) referenced in sticker "Rayzer closed the match with flawless final breach". But medium also has breach drill, so idk.

[young venture]

I think what second sponsor may can be OSPUZE or IVADA, because they are presented several knight sets in s6 and somewhere else

[real basalt]

Wait guys im new to this who is rob

[mortal minnow]

I believe early finalists in the lore/world didn’t or don’t have weight class role specific abilities or gear.

Assuming it’s a game where anyone can compete with any such specialization or gear as individual to individual. While we’re locked for gameplay & balancing designs! Just a thought that I’ve always been using as a lens

[west furnace]

Yeah, I also feel like clases are not canon.
Also a lot art assets use medium body when showcasing heavy weapons. But that might just because they look better.
