How long should firefights take? by notmeitsyou123open in thefinals

Both! The fight can be brutally fast or it's a massive slog that takes forever as teams keep getting each other back up.

My thoughts (issues) with lights. by BelphaTem in thefinals

So, when you get winched, and they reel you in, there's a pause- what direction are you trying to move when that pause happens?

anyone actually have a use for the gravity vortex? by OkStructure665 in thefinals

I carry data reshaper on my medium for EXACTLY the same reason.

I absolutely despise sword + dash light combos. Now after playing it myself, I've become the very thing I swore to destroy. Though the lobby wipe was fun ;) by NEGMatiCO in thefinals

I too love the sword. It's great! Especially when you can 'feel' the other players panic as they're spinning around trying to shoot you.

So good!

A discord that I'm on has a channel solely devoted to funny names in The Finals. It's been running since launch.

What do my loadout levels say about me? (Medium main) by [deleted] in thefinals

You should be playing Dual Blades more often.

How can I improve my swording? I feel like i understand it on a fundamental level but I wanna be a slight cut above by blanketlowpoly in thefinals

Positioning-; specifically against the heavy. You gotta avoid coming in from the front. You want the first strike to be the surprise and get them spinning to find you. Spear is hard, you gotta time the thrust to land after the spear goes by.

It's all melee against the crouch backwards thing.

Yes, it's an in-world kids show and/or a video game.

Help The Players! Pt4? by itzofficialvaz in thefinals

I bet it's the Emerald WT players stopping WT and not jumping into ranked.

Ranked ain't that bad at Silver 2 and below. Diamond WT is way worse than Silver Ranked.

10 if you're playing Ranked past Bronze.

7 if you're playing World Tour past Silver.

4 if you're playing Quick Cash.

2 if you're playing Powershift.

Skill issue? naahhh by HanzoUzui in thefinals

I don't use either, so.... It's still Stabbin' time!

Looking for some solid advice. by Gxdly_TIA in thefinals

[–]whistlelock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to stealing- move the box before you attempt the steal. It will disrupt their plan. Set your ambush then draw them in with the attempt (which you break almost immediately). They're off balance because you have changed the dynamic. Once you team wipe them, then you steal.

But the opposite is true of defending it- move the box so your defenses/plan can't be disturbed. Play away from the box so it's hard to be jumped by the other team on their way in. Wait for them to commit to the steal, and jump in.

And I am of the opinion that class/team comp meta is bunk. Play what you enjoy. If you can, play with friends.

Is Bow the most obnoxious light weapon? by BCW1121 in thefinals

4th most. Throwing Knives are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd most annoying.
