i think cloak is mostly a high end meta thing. most lights in my games run dash or grapple. embark gave all classes a way to counter cloak so if people really have an issue with it they just need to bring motion sensor or sonar. gravity vortex is fucking amazing. already had a massive win with it. the thing i like most is that it stays stuck when it deploys so you can drop the objective from a moving platform and of course you can abort steals without line of sight. 93r being good for the first time is so fun. i hope embark doesn't nerf it any time soon. i think you still need good aim and solid hits to make it work but it is just nice to have a weapon that is pretty good at most ranges (besides the lh1)
Yeah, invis 100% getting a nerfed, its kinda insane ya can stand still invis for like 2+mins straight XDDDD. I like it as a invis light, but I know long term that this likely wouldnt be fun to really play against nor watch. Oh and the defib changes was MASSSSSIVE I'm so happy defib doesnt feel like "necessity" anymore for peeps! It's still good for the fact ya can get someone back up into the fight instantly, but its not obnoxious being able to do that 3x XDDD. I dig it I do agree, I think currently LMH actually might be the "strongest" right now, and I love that! Light finally got to a place where it's like, not "useless." Grats on first diamond btw! ^0^
this season seems REALLY good so far for loadout diversity! a lot of things are good and i hope we keep seeing a lot of different playstyles and loadouts, especially in high levels
One lil thing I like to do with gravity vortex is pair with gateway and tm8 has a gas nade, put grav vor next to your cash out and gateway above it when the steal trigger both and throw nades through gateway while they r stuck and can’t run away
Seeing a non-SA12+non-charge loadout is crazy. No fib or heal beam is crazy. Light is crazy, and 93r is crazier. i wouldve taken out a mortgage to bet against a 93r meta. Cant wait to play S5 and the new map.
I actually like that cloak is OP bc it almost neccessitates having a light with motion sensors or thermals to counter. Take the OP cloak away and we're back to season 1-4 where you're just better served by having a 2nd medium or heavy.
????? Glitch, firethrower, fire nades, gas, and aoe of any kind already countered cloak. All classes have motion sensors now. What are you even saying????
@@AiloSzn my load out since s1 has been Mine gas mine defib and turret. Its absurd how much utility I get from those things, and with defibs getting so toned down, sensor or glitch mine need to be on the reserves. I still run defibs because my main partner runs dual blades and even with these changes, he can get great value and survivability even with the 8s cooldown.
@@necromax13 If you’re playing solo, double mobility and util/nades are the way for sure. If you’re in a stack and your team mates are worth defibbing, defib is still worth
I'm a brand new player that just downloaded the game last week. I don't know anything about what is and isn't really good so I really appreciate this fast and easy to follow video
I’m glad people are hitting diamond. Last season there were NO people that were in diamond 2/1. Glad to see they made some changes to the RP and people filling D2/1 is possible.
I think light finally has a leg up with the new cloak. It could make some noise when standing still but definitely not need worthy considering what other things have been allowed prior.
93R is definitely better than it was, but it's held back by the buff being bugged. At 28 DMG it should be able to 3 burst mediums, but in reality it takes 3 bursts + 1 extra bullet (so being burst fire with a delay it's realistically a 4 burst TTK). Its damage is bugged to somewhere in the 25-27 range.
@@kami3449 it looks like they've stealth changed the patch notes. Checking wayback machine indicates that it was not a hallucination, it indeed started out as 24->28 DMG, but now the patch notes say 24->26 DMG.

Do you have a video on the kiting meta? I've heard it multiple times now but I have not seen a video talk about it, and it seems more complex than your average strategy.
Lockbolt definitely doesn't feel like it has enough of a short leash on tethered targets, but, I will say the way chains remain even through terrain has made chasing people down with flamer a very brutally fun time
I went from silver to near diamond mostly casual playing. I never saw anyone run cloak, or at least very rarely. So idk where you saw it being meta apart from maybe scrims. Played regularly against rubys and whenever there was a light it was always dash. I do like the idea of light cloak being more sneaky. I do like the change but Im definitely bias. I think the change to defib is great. Overall i think this season will be great but rank is over for me ive burnt out last season trying to make diamond solo que. Just gonna have fun in world tour with some creative loadouts. This is how I have the most fun in the finals and in the end its all that matters. It was hard to let go of ranked cause im very competitive in general. Happy season 5 everyone❤
I feel like the cloak buff is slighty overtuned but let me explain....taking burning (I E. whether its from a pyro grenade, mine, flamethrower etc....) should break you out of cloak if you walk into it but reactivating cloak can remove the burning ticks/DoTs/damage (kind of like cloak of shadows in WoW) allowing you to re-cloak but gas should remove it when walking into it for sure since its like an environmental DoT that doesnt follow you
I'm a bit curious why FCAR is considered the pick for high elo players as akm just feels like the better option between the 2 for multiple reasons. AKM has a bigger mag, similar dps and it even got a red dot in S4, the recoil is a bit easier on FCAR but it doesn't make a whole lot of difference. Everything just points to akm being objectively better than FCAR imo. If anybody has the answer feel free to enlighten me and even correct me if I said something wrong here.
FCAR has a lower rate of fire, higher damage per bullet. FCAR has higher range. FCAR has a stickier hip fire. FCAR has the highest TTK on light/heavy out of every AR. fcar my baby
The scar is right now better than the AK based on versatility and ttk. If the AK had the 36 round mag again it would be 50-50 but the pitiful ttk on the aks end is boring. For most ranges you should be engaging, the 25 round fixed visual recoil scar is better. The FAMAS is good too, but I don't like it.
I don't understand WHAT WERE THEY THINKING when they decided to buff cloak like this, this is just insane, like you can spend a full damn minute being TOTALLY invisible camping the cashout...so easy to abuse dude. Just wait until every light finds out about this cheesy tactic and we'll be forced to bring motion sensors in every team
@@mr.nihilistic hahahaha I'm no noob and dash is factually speaking the worst light spec. Badly designed. Badly implemented. Makes players play the same boring play style and is annoying to play against.
I was finding cloak real good s4, which is a shame cos i think movement Light is far more interesting and fun on both sides of the fight. Same reason I dont think CC or stuns should be meta, they are not fun to play against. But overall HML is a very healthy spot to be in!
My best teammate is a dual sword main (he's dumb), and i still have to autopick defibs because he dies a lot (hes dumb) but dualies have EXTREME utility when reviving during a teamfight, and with the new dual blades buffs???? Its going to be an extremely niche but extremely useful combo. Played on season release and i lost count on how many cashouts we got on him deflecting while i stole.
Yo Appoh, I've known you for a while but I've started watching you more actively on yt and twitch and I gotta say you are one of the best things that happened to this game! Quick question abt your videos: where do you get your music from and can you link it? Very chill but fire background music

The 93R is good rn, but I’m confused abt its damage. I feel like it doesn’t actually do 28 dmg. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but 28 dmg should 3 burst a medium to the body, but I’ve only gotten the kill in 4. Anyone else felt this?
Short answer: Three stack with the other best players in the game 🤣 All jokes aside congrats man you stay pushing this community forward appreciate you and strafez a bunch!!!
I’ve been only getting like 3 kills a game with most guns, started using Cerberus at the beginning of the season now I average 8-10 kills and we’ve been making finals every tournament, think I found my meta lol
@@thund3r94probably a DoT nerf. Anyhow if you were just averaging 3 kills a game you don't need the new gun, you need to find a better playstyle. I have extremely poor aim in this game yet i consistently drop 13 k/a.
@@necromax13 I’m a support medium so I was still getting like 7 assists from healing my heavy friend but now i just also help with kills and don’t lose 1v1s as much anymore I also haven’t seen anything about a nerf so unless you’ve seen this from embark I’m honestly calling bs
Definitely make a video on the gravity vortex ASAP. Make a Part 1 video so you can be the first one to make a video about the new gadget. Maybe make a part 2 or compilation of what else you can do with it if you find new stuff out
Last week I’ve lost like 25 matches in a row back to back even when carried and was top killing the most enemies usually… lost every single match. Because a full team of lights or defib mediums would always win vs my team. I kept dying to invisible rushing lights or team couldn’t push cuz heavy kept popping their shields on point… I’m glad they fixed some of those
lights gadgets are valuable, they also should position to not get picked, us houldnt need goo as cloak light, but goo helps the med and heavy together as they take front line
Besides the obvious blocking chokepoints, you can use it to block line of sight on cashouts both when you're trying to steal and defend. If you butt it up against the cashout, enemies are forced to either break through it or go around into your LoS, it's useful to cover your escape if you're losing a fight, and if you're not running defib it buys time to rez. Then there's the tricky stuff like slant pads, which you can set up really fast with practice, making impromptu bridges can be helpful when your movement stuff is on CD. It's quite possibly the most useful gadget.
Hey ppho ik you play kb&m. I am unfortunately limited to controller on PC. Have any suggestions or know of someone I could look up?. I'm getting better but still miss sometimes.
There were basically no lights in high comp last season, and the few that were, they would be running LH1s. They buffed cloak to encourage their desired light playstyle, a saboteur type character, not an abusive ineffective char.
I'm not sure if I like the way The Finals is going. The game is great on paper. Its honestly great in practice. But thru continuous practice the game becomes repetitive. The same guns, Same gadgets. In my personal opinion and the corroboration of nearly 50 people i have talked to. The game needs to release more content per season. I really enjoy the Finals but trying to squeeze out another hundred days with 2 gadgets and 2 guns. Is quite.... tiring. Maybe 1 specialization, 3 guns, 3 gadgets, make them a bit stronger, then bring them back down to a more reasonable balance. Sorry for the rant. I just needed to express some opinion somewhere.
I wanted to add some information. I don't believe that changing the meta through balance changes, such as the mesh shield is sufficient to keep the game engaging. I also want to point out the fact of how hard it is to maintain such releases for guns per season and how hectic that could become. But. what other choice do they have? Stats and charts point out the obvious. The game is in fact dying. This saddens me. But waiting 100 days for two guns that seem okay.... and 2 gadgets that are good and a solid map is... disappointing. Please reply to my comment with questions, concerns, feedback, criticism
I can see your point, but i feel that right now, there are a lot of specializations already, so balance should be focused on them first. As for weapons this season, I actually prefer them to be OK rather than overpowered since these two weapons have gimmicks on them that haven't existed in previous weapons, which will allow Embark to explore them more and tuning them in the future. I would love 3 gadgets per season, though.
You are right on the money. If they don’t actually change the meta with meaningful large buffs and don’t start releasing more content, the game will continue to slowly die. The numbers online for the season 5 related content have been depressing
They dont. Catering to ranked meta players and content grifters is what actually got the game into the unbalanced and annoying mess it is. They need to balance around the masses playing casually. Nobody asked for a search and destroy game mode and it almost killed the game two seasons ago.
I wish I could play too, they still did not fix the performance break which happened around one-two months ago, after this update im getting max 80-90 fps which is simply not enough for me to play competitively
You forget how free market capitalism works. If consumers want it, chances are people are gonna make it. Personally, I'm just getting back in after a month long break, and with competitive games, you never know what balance changes have been made from one week to the next, so leaving for extended periods of time makes the change all that more jarring
YES ! Besides. The game isn't particularly good when ranked or comp is on the line. It shines on the more chaotic modes. So this ranked meta best combo team comp bs is produced for a type of consumer that doesn't really enjoy the game. Hell I'd say they don't even represent the majority of the playerbase because last season sword dash was EVERYWHERE yet high rank players had no issue with it. While everyone was up in arms.
You 100% use Wallhacks and a foot pedal for aimbot but keep being delusional and believing your a good player. This younger generation has No integrity and I cant wait for your comment and others to comment “im stupid and crazy” 😂🤡🤡🤡

Besides the obvious blocking chokepoints, you can use it to block line of sight on cashouts both when you're trying to steal and defend. If you butt it up against the cashout, enemies are forced to either break through it or go around into your LoS, it's useful to cover your escape if you're losing a fight, and if you're not running defib it buys time to rez. Then there's the tricky stuff like slant pads, which you can set up really fast with practice, making impromptu bridges can be helpful when your movement stuff is on CD. It's quite possibly the most useful gadget.
You can also make ledges for off building play which can be useful in certain maps, such as skyway horizon or Seoul.
i have some vids on it but basically it gives u cover a lot, can also prevent people chasing you
As a part time heavy and medium, I strongly dislike the defib change
How would you address it from here?
...why?
I'm permanently medium and i feel like this change was appropriate.
How many games did it take? Just wondering if it’s like last season
i unno i played for like 15 hrs in ranked maybe?
Assuming you didn’t lose (cus u da goat) I’d say that’s deadass waaaay better than last season. Diamond deagles here I come
Appoh is meta😏
the shaq 50 either needs a change or the other AR's do. both the fcar and the ak feel absolutely terrible against it.
Lmao I saw that while I was playing I'm like damn App is the new king of sweating
Hey ppho ik you play kb&m. I am unfortunately limited to controller on PC. Have any suggestions or know of someone I could look up?. I'm getting better but still miss sometimes.
not sure how to play roller anymore
i hope HML is the Meta iit will be so nice
But what about the medium fire shotgun?
I am interested to hear what Appoh has to say about it, but imo it is very fun but kinda mid.
It's horrible
@normalhuman4951yeah. I havent even played with it and it looks REALLY lackluster
its pretty mid
A meta in 24hrs??? Bro (Ik this is a prediction)
lol i know, but like its a fun video to make :)
You should slightly turn down the music volume
yeah i got a new audio interface so im still tweaking my balance, ty !
What’s plug meta?
refers to how this meta revolves a lot more around plugging cashboxes and less about defending cashouts
Flamethrower for life
I think they buffed cloak because majority of lights were using dash n sword in high comp last season
There were basically no lights in high comp last season, and the few that were, they would be running LH1s.
They buffed cloak to encourage their desired light playstyle, a saboteur type character, not an abusive ineffective char.
@ what’s ur definition of high comp cuz I was a diamond using sawed off shotgun but I will agree there were also many LH1 users
Has anyone been abusing proximity sensor now that it's on medium ?
abusing? no its pretty worthless
@Appoh the proximity sensor is useful. it's just that there are other gadgets that are probably more beneficial
He used my leaderboard screenshot woohoo
Can not wait for the tempo vid my team and i suck at macro
I'm not sure if I like the way The Finals is going. The game is great on paper. Its honestly great in practice. But thru continuous practice the game becomes repetitive. The same guns, Same gadgets. In my personal opinion and the corroboration of nearly 50 people i have talked to. The game needs to release more content per season. I really enjoy the Finals but trying to squeeze out another hundred days with 2 gadgets and 2 guns. Is quite.... tiring. Maybe 1 specialization, 3 guns, 3 gadgets, make them a bit stronger, then bring them back down to a more reasonable balance. Sorry for the rant. I just needed to express some opinion somewhere.
I wanted to add some information. I don't believe that changing the meta through balance changes, such as the mesh shield is sufficient to keep the game engaging. I also want to point out the fact of how hard it is to maintain such releases for guns per season and how hectic that could become. But. what other choice do they have? Stats and charts point out the obvious. The game is in fact dying. This saddens me. But waiting 100 days for two guns that seem okay.... and 2 gadgets that are good and a solid map is... disappointing. Please reply to my comment with questions, concerns, feedback, criticism
I can see your point, but i feel that right now, there are a lot of specializations already, so balance should be focused on them first. As for weapons this season, I actually prefer them to be OK rather than overpowered since these two weapons have gimmicks on them that haven't existed in previous weapons, which will allow Embark to explore them more and tuning them in the future. I would love 3 gadgets per season, though.
If the main enjoyment you get from the game is from new guns and gadgets, then yeah, maybe the finals isn't for you
You are right on the money. If they don’t actually change the meta with meaningful large buffs and don’t start releasing more content, the game will continue to slowly die. The numbers online for the season 5 related content have been depressing

i hate playing against you
w
Awesome
I welcome all the cloaked L's. My sledge is bloodthirsty
i've been bitching about defibs and cloak stun since i started playing this game. Can't win em all I guess. They need you on the balance team brother.
They dont. Catering to ranked meta players and content grifters is what actually got the game into the unbalanced and annoying mess it is.
They need to balance around the masses playing casually.
Nobody asked for a search and destroy game mode and it almost killed the game two seasons ago.
actually they only recently started listening to comp players,. the entire changes we've seen were dedicated towards casuals
the in-game equivalent of “first”
Engimo demon mask predict s5 meta 😂
I wish I could play too, they still did not fix the performance break which happened around one-two months ago, after this update im getting max 80-90 fps which is simply not enough for me to play competitively
"Dropped it from our team comp" Says while getting defibbed. Okay buddy
yeah this was day one, we tested a bunch of stuff and this is what we came to
Uff I’m the 100th like 😎💯. Let gooooo appoh 💎
Yo bruh, i see you on twitch with strafez, taje ur sub bruh
where is fsr 3.1 !_
we needed a dash and grapple buff not cloak😭😭 such a boring way to play
Can you get me to diamond rq bro lmao
dont use 3rd party mr noob i have the same software 😂
What software is he using. Just come out and say it bro.
@@necromax13 i have it but i dont use it because its boring to have advantage on others
@@iwantyou9944 ...whatever man
This season just doesn't feel good kinda bland 🤷♂️
I think thats just personal burnout everyone gets at different times, and not the fault of the game/this new season
It’s because they release less and less content
far from it lol
@@arcanum3882 I'm hoping for more mid season content, 🙏 but it'll probs just be skins 💀
Literally every map is reskinned, new guns & gadgets for every class. Pretty cool if u ask me
MEOW!
Can we play the game for more than ONE DAY before we starting announcing metas??? I mean ffs this type of content makes games so stale ugh!!!
You forget how free market capitalism works. If consumers want it, chances are people are gonna make it. Personally, I'm just getting back in after a month long break, and with competitive games, you never know what balance changes have been made from one week to the next, so leaving for extended periods of time makes the change all that more jarring
YES !
Besides. The game isn't particularly good when ranked or comp is on the line. It shines on the more chaotic modes.
So this ranked meta best combo team comp bs is produced for a type of consumer that doesn't really enjoy the game.
Hell I'd say they don't even represent the majority of the playerbase because last season sword dash was EVERYWHERE yet high rank players had no issue with it. While everyone was up in arms.
if people didnt click on it (like you) i wouldnt make it, i just make what people wanna see
ur my meta. i think of u all the time. i dream of u like 5 times in a row (i have sleep apnea i need help ple help me))
You 100% use Wallhacks and a foot pedal for aimbot but keep being delusional and believing your a good player. This younger generation has No integrity and I cant wait for your comment and others to comment “im stupid and crazy” 😂🤡🤡🤡
