GREETINGS CONTESTANT!

Welcome to THE FINALS Community Wiki! THE FINALS is a Free to Play, Live Service, first person shooter, developed by Embark Studios for PC and next-gen consoles. This Wiki is a collaborative effort that anyone is welcome to contribute to.^. Wikis like ours depend on readers getting involved and adding content.

The content of the wiki is subject to change as this is a live-service game, the current content is based off of the most recent patch

Tip of the day

The Dual Blades gain 80% damage reduction against projectiles and 66% reduction against melee attacks.

Balance Changes

Weapons

CB-01 Repeater

Increased environmental damage from 8 to 18

Dev Note: With the previous environmental damage value the Repeater had a tough time destroying ziplines. This change should help to address that.

M134 Minigun

Decreased bullet dispersion when standing still and ‘focus firing’ (secondary fire) by approximately 10%, making the weapon more accurate
Decreased bullet dispersion when moving and focus firing by approximately 10%, making the weapon more accurate

Dev Note: We really like that the spin-up time of the Minigun encourages players to adopt a different style of play to other weapons when using it, such as making use of various shields to protect while spinning up, or using Proximity Sensors to provide an early warning that gives time to spin-up. Because of this, despite some feedback that the Minigun is a little underpowered, we’re reluctant to address that by reducing the spin-up time and making the gun more responsive, as this risks it simply turning into another LMG. Instead, we’re making an adjustment to the weapon’s accuracy to make it slightly more effective at range. Performance wise, our data is showing the Minigun performing somewhere in the middle of the pack, so we’re reasonably happy with how it’s behaving.

We do feel that ‘juggling’ and maintaining the spin-up state while moving is a little too easy right now, so it is our intent to review that and potentially change it later this season, as we do really want using the Minigun to commit players to being prepared in how they play, but it’s likely that if that change does go ahead, it will come with some other tweaks to offset that change. We’ll see exactly where we go with that as the season goes on.
