My ONLY Wish For THE FINALS Season 4... (Predictions & Map Theory)

Well, the hype really is starting to mount up for THE FINALS, with Embark leaking some OST tracks and Oscar jamming out on stream, this could be the season that really pulls us back to the roots of the game. I talk about what THE FINALS was missing, and my predictions for weapons and maps in Season 4.

What do you want to see this season? Let me know in the comments!

The new map will be similar to monaco. At twitchcon, the developer's own words were: "if you like monaco, you're gonna love the new map"

"And the show is back. Welcome to Season 4."
They really got my hopes up with that statement. More gameshow, more sponsor stuff pls

[benhazevoet]

I think that a good thing that embark could add is recolours for items you own but you have to spend vrs on it. I think it’s a simple change but the outfits you could make would be so much more unique by mixing and matching colours. And for the part about wanting to feel like your own contestant I think it would be cool for an in game clip system where you can take a clip of something funny or cool that you did in game and post it for the “audience” and other people can view and rate the clips.

What I really hope for is Embark adds more variations to the maps and more seasonal content like mid way through Season 4, they could do what they did with the Cowboy event, I really hope they bring back those types of events like Steal the Spotlight

I'm personally super excited for Season 4. I recently rediscovered this game after forgetting about it for a long time and am so hooked that I can't put it down. I have never played anything like it before and I am so thankful for it. Let's go, Embark!

[RGisOnline]

I do hope and I think that Embark has learned from their mistakes about THE FINALS with making Terminal Attack a ranked game mode, because its kinda strays away from what made THE FINALS unique and Embark should focus more and more on what made THE FINALS stand out and improve and add more content that focuses on THE FINALS instead of adding another game mode that is popular from other games like CSGO with the Terminal Attack.

I think the light needs something that encourages group play. Its kit right now is entirely geared towards 'dash around and kill things to get big elimination numbers at the end'. Which isn't a bad thing at all--as a light main, playing around your team and being able to get in chip damage or outright kills to eliminate pressure on the two directly defending the cashout is, in my opinion, team play and how the class was designed. But if we're looking to switch things up and encourage a more cohesive LMH team play feel--Heavies have mesh shield (and barricades and dome shield), Mediums have heal beam. Light needs its thing that can directly interact with teammates. There are a few gadgets that can do this, sure, but I don't think sonar grenade is doing the same lift as heal beam, for example. I'm by no means saying that the mechanics of Light needs to change, but it'd be fun/interesting/maybe needed to add another means of playing it as a more squirrelly backline run with the Heavy and Medium type unit.

Weapons for heavy:
- Minigun with no reload but it overheats plus needs time to spin up first, high damage at close range and biggest rate of fire
-double barrel 1911(yes it does exist irl) or a desert eagle)
Also I would like to see some more support gadgets to promote a team oriented gameplay cause mostly what I see is everyone running around solo trying to get kills like it’s cod

[MichaelMenton-mekk]

Ideas for Light:
1) Healing / Stim Bomb - (similar to vanishing bomb) If you are close to your team it will heal everyone by a max of 100 HP or it gives everyone +50 armor and increased movement speed for a short duration.
2) Decoys - Throw down an inflatable or hologram decoy to confuse other teams
3) Oil based throwable or gadget - Covers surfaces to increase movement speed for the whole team, maybe make it increase speed in 1 direction and slows speed in the other. Can be countered by fire.

i want to see portable ladder for heavy

Couldn’t agree more in regards to immersion into the finals. Player sponsorships. In game clans. Customizable player/clan clubhouse. A more in-depth leaderboard. The finals is a rich universe, let the players be a bigger part of it.

I think a cool way of spending vrs would be on previous ltm modes. If someone missed out on the rewards, they could wait a period of time for it to appear in that store, and have a chance to buy it.

This video made me subscribe. Thank you so much for your work.

[Dr.Philth]

For light

Abilities: switch grapple and get rid of gateway and replace it with a phase shift ability or some kind of teleportation.

Parkour to replace the grapple hook. Wall running, double jump ( maybe), better movement.

Weapons:
Dual pistols would be lovely. I think they should ditch the shotgun and burst pistol and replace them with some kind of projectile weapon similar to a grenade launcher.

Ordinance: they should add a wing suit or parachute option for light. Something tactical like body armor maybe as an always equiped secondary item to buff the health to a medium stat.

They should add high heels either eay period.

[siderialhusky]

I really think S4 is going to pop off. Game show vibes are back, and I agree with you that the devs at Embark are really listening. Exciting stuff!

[Keys]

They should get rid of the the invis grenade and add like a flat jacket gadget/ability, so the light can have the same health as a medium if they need to steal a cashout.

[matisseeeee]

Clicking on this video and knowing embark made the W move of inviting you over to the showcase of S4 made me a bit worried your opinions would be sugercoated so you can keep embark happy. That luckily isn't the case at all. Thanks for staying honest and giving your thoughts on what could be improved. People who love a game an insane amount sometimes act negatively when there is any problems with the game being spoken about, but that obviously is the #1 way of improving the gane: staying calm and respectful, all the while giving your thoughts on what isn't fun. I can't imagine how many issues playtesters pointed out pre-release

[natejan]

You got some great points man. Thanks for giving me hope again!

[marcelslabber]

I don't think anything needs to be done about light specifically. I feel the best option would actually be passive abilities specific to their class that enforce their playstyle more. Light for example can have a passive ability of stealing cashouts faster or having 50 more health on defense to force them to play with the team strategically. Medium can maybe revive faster or heal others faster in the objective. Heavy can maybe get something which actually makes sense to its healthpool of like low calibre resistant body armour so anything below an AR classification basically. These are just very small ideas but i think its definitely worth a look to extend passive abilities with each class to really add to the strategy within the team.

[THE-STREET-HERO]

Here is a gadget idea for the light. "Phantom", the inverse of dematerializzer . The player can jump through walls without breaking them.
