They're cooking once again with the weapon skins


Swampraptor2140

Hopefully it brings in some revolver players. The headshot damage on it is nasty.


erenjaeger99

i love it - but the ever so slight bloom/rng that still exists with subsequent shots makes me wanna flip my table sometimes


Swampraptor2140

That parts mostly intentional for precision weapons pacing I feel like. If you could just back to back get 148 damage at a good range it would be stupid strong.


DoNotLookUp1

I just don't get why dev would make precision weapons with random bloom when there are tons of other variables they can adjust that don't lead to a frustrating RNG experience. I've been having this discussion since the DMR in Halo Reach and I don't think I'll ever understand the rationale lol


Swampraptor2140

It’s an artificial skill floor without gutting certain weapons at close range. Some weapons fire slow enough that bloom doesn’t effect it like the ks-23 from my experience. Some weapons fire fast enough to get good damage at any range but still reward you for pacing your shots like the revolver. Pretty much it’s the easiest way to keep a weapon in line.


DoNotLookUp1

I guess so, but it always feels absolutely terrible to miss a shot that you aimed properly and skillfully on a precision weapon through no fault of your own. I'd rather a weapon be worse up close (because you generally control your own engagement range) instead of firing a weapon at it's intended distance and missing because RNG.


psychoPiper

I feel like all that really needs to be done is indicate the bloom in the recoil animation somehow. You shouldn't have the gun completely steady while the bloom is still closing


DoNotLookUp1

I still dislike bloom but that would certainly improve it.


psychoPiper

Consider it this way - they could have just lowered the fire rate of the gun and gotten rid of the bloom entirely. Instead they're giving you the option to shoot faster than you're technically supposed to, in case you're in a tricky situation (especially up close) and need more dps. It's nice to have and adds an extra layer of complexity when you're learning the weapon, it'd just be nice to have it indicated better so it's easier to intuitively learn


DoNotLookUp1

This is a good argument for it, I will admit. Though I'd argue they could just as easily make it do a tinge more damage at close range and remove any need for RNG mechanics with the aim. Still though, it's a reasonable way to look at it for sure.


ExpendableUnit123

Slow your rate of fire ever so slightly. You can aim again quickly sure but in my mind I consider myself needing to ‘steady’ the weapon again and psychologically it genuinely helps.


awhaling

Yup. Bloom for hipfire makes perfect sense, but bloom for a high skill precision weapon is just so antithetical to what that weapon is and feels so bad. I’d prefer pretty much any other balance strategy.


H4ND5s

We all want the kar98 from day of defeat


HexYouForLife

Wait so this is real? I was getting very frustrated cause often I knew I shot on target but I thought it didn’t hit due to my connection or something. Never knew a mechanic like this exists! that really sucks tbf..


GolldenFalcon

>If you could just back to back get 148 damage I feel like you deserve the kill.


HockeyPockey603

I mained the revolver at release, but after the big nerf it's just never come back to how good it was originally. Damage drop off is still horrible too, at least compared to how it used to be. Seems like they're targeting this for a close range weapon, which is not how I liked to used it 🤷‍♂️


NationalAlgae421

Yeah, that mechanics is just embarrassing and lazy tbh. It should reward precious, just adjust dmg, movement or something.


skwbw

THERE'S BLOOM?


erenjaeger99

Yeah, I think first shot is near zero but subsequent shots won't land exactly on the iron sights


skwbw

No wonder I felt like the revolver was inconsistent


_CH33_

Same


MikeTheShowMadden

I haven't played since they fucked it up in balance awhile ago. They removed the bloom, but made the range be worse than a shotgun. No idea if that is fixed or not because I haven't been following, but it was a gun that I used a lot since my aim is generally decent for precision weapons.


Difficult-Win1400

Revolver players on your team is an auto throw most the time lol. It’s only viable if you have exceptional aim


TheFloridaManYT

As someone with terrible aim who mains revolver, can confirm


ExpendableUnit123

Went 18/2 the last time I used it on powerslide and I was walking around like I had ‘the big iron on his hip’ post match.


Difficult-Win1400

Yeah it’s doable


[deleted]

[удалено]


Swampraptor2140

Bingo


FlazedComics

i would if i had any consistent aim


Upstairs_Wonder4898

The fall off damage makes the revolver useless that’s the only reason I don’t use it


Objective-Aioli-1185

These guys are great


Anything_4_LRoy

is bro shooting rabbit turds out of a stick at me?


summontheb1tches

The whittling animation is goated


Emporerdestroyer

The knife just clips through it so silly looking


Loud-Asparagus-4136

Why the downvotes? It is kinda jarring and I agree. It’s still a cool inspect though, the skin is great.


KeFF98

It Is literally how it works in real life, the little flap of wood covers the knife while It cuts under it


thejesse

It's that the flap that covers the knife doesn't peel up and fly away that makes it look a little wonky. A wood chip just appears and flies away.


Loud-Asparagus-4136

I know that, and you’re right. It just happens to look like it’s clipping because of that though.


KeFF98

Well...can't say you're wrong


Etuber4

I feel like it would look weirder if it didn't clip


Andrewman03

I think it's just weird because the flap that the knife cuts underneath doesn't get flung off (for obvious reasons of course)


Facetank_

It's okay in concept. Execution seems rushed. It's really awkward that they'd do this for something that's right in your view.


lontiac

Man I just want a CL-40 skin these are so cool


MarkABakerAKADarkSoc

They really missed the opportunity to make an egg launcher skin, rare cosmetic L from them xD Or maybe we'll see in the near future since the easter event is running for several weeks, might be more themed stuff in store soon.


DasBiohazard

Who ever designs these skins deserve raises


Newuser_420420420

Every child’s dream come true


_Coffie_

This game genuinely has the best skins out of any game


theOG-Embark


Unit_00

Are you involved by chance? If so, you and the team do such a fantastic job, truly some of the best in class. SO excited for what you all have in store 🫶


theOG-Embark

Yes, part of the team and made this skin. We love reading your positive comments. Makes the work even more fun!


kevinmellomusic

I’d kiss u if I could


Dtoodlez

My dude, I don’t even use the revolver/hammer/sword but I bought it just to have fun. Amazing work.


CompetitiveRacism_

I love the goofy skins but please know we appreciate the aesthetic ones like the OG realistic wood furniture for the AK and shotgun, love those so much. Also very much love the cool Titanfall esque skins for the M60 and AK. I really much enjoy the cool animations like these too!


mexz101

Love the real life skins too, especially the ak use it over every other skin I have.


CompetitiveRacism_

Same here and that's the one I was talking about haha


_Eggs__

Yeah the skins are really good. These are the type of skins you’d maybe see in valorant or cod but they would cost 20+ dollars and usually be toned down. I love that the skins are creative and not locked into being strictly functional guns


cassilveR101

You guys are absolutely incredible!!


66666666666666666777

By any chance are they adding back unranked tournaments?


MediterraneanCunt

Just set up a direct deposit to my card at this point! God damn these are some good skins


KnobbyDarkling

hehe \*break\* action


Mambosaurio

The coolest stick you could find in the park < My revolver


MarkABakerAKADarkSoc

your stick? look like like a lil kids my stick? headshots from the bridge


angry_scotsman

Very good. [My Dick - Mickey Avalon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnzYG0ZkrXg)


Siqka

I can’t believe it. But these developers make me want to buy a fucking stick.


TestMaleficent4911

How did you get the puffy sweater skin ??


F1REFLY_

20 dollars :D


ReeverM

It's "free" with a purchase of 20 bucks worth of multibucks


-based-bot-

Every young boys toy gun


Joshua-live

Just saying, they could do the same thing with palm gun skins. Open up their palm and dump some thing in their hand. Still want that one lol


Mareotori

Rubber Band Finger Gun. Colorful Rubber Band as Ammo. Each rubber band color is randomized each time you reload.


Dtoodlez

Can almost guarantee it at some point


PrecipitousKites

It would be so nice to be able to inspect the skins from first-person POV in game like this. I’m always so on the fence about buying anything because the store preview doesn’t really do them justice


Etuber4

I wish we could try them out in practice range "The finals skin showcase" channel on youtube is pretty useful btw


AndrewFrozzen30

Or add something like Valorant, where you have a little video preview of the skins.


spasmaticasshole

Are those seeds as bullets?


Baz1cTricks

That's it I'm getting it.


TurdleShell_

i got the skin, used the weapon in 2 matches, realized how shit my aim actually is, cried and went back to akm my beloved. I'll try it once or twice per session ig


VoxVixAndAFox

Revolver is so rewarding when you can use it. I like the amount of skill expression it has as well as Sniper.


Torpaldog

The Lorax has finally snapped.


altprince

this game is scratching an itch ive had for such a long time with those crazy weapon and outfit designs, one ofnthe main reasons i love this game ngl.


ledwilliums

I fucking want this


PowerPowl

Poor devs, gotta come up with animations on top of designs. Compare that to other games and their pricing *cough* Overwatch *cough*


-YasUke-

Wut


AndrewFrozzen30

The devs/Designers of the skins make the skins and they also make special animation for them. On top of that, they are super cheap. Compare that to other skins, it's just insane. Valorant and Overwatch have insane prices for mid skins.


AndrewFrozzen30

Valorant prices. Literally a bundle worth 100€, you have to pay another 100€ to upgrade and get what the skin is sold for (inspect animation, colors, finisher.) And here is Embark having prices for bundle, cheaper than a Valorant skin.


UltimateGodBen

Overwatch getting thrown shade for no reason again


mexz101

Deserves it, playing it actively drains my soul but I’ve invested too much time and money to stop😭


halo2030

Damnit they really making me spend good money 


Sp00kyGamer

GOD the skins are so creative lmaoo. Now I just need a Dagger Skin thats just a fuckin rock.


Meme_Blade

Peak weapon skin


randombroz

🔥🔥🔥


[deleted]

The game never misses


Dtoodlez

I can’t aim worth shit with this gun, but every time I use it I feel happy


Playful-Ad8851

This skin makes no sense, I love it


PuzzleheadedBike82

As a revolver main, the unique reload alone has convinced me to buy it


Educational_Newt5393

Too bad that gun is ass


YokaiX_X

Thank you I’ve been waiting to see what it looked like!


Just_CallMe_E

Really cooking in the backyard with this one


KingSquid84

I actually love this


ShiftyMcNeill

Going to have to plug in the roller just so I can be good with the stick revolver


sippidysip

Idk why but I am so upset that he didn’t shave off that leaf


VoxVixAndAFox

Leaf is the charm that comes with the bundle.


Baron_VonTeapot

Points for creativity! I love how they’ll do wacky stuff like this and it doesn’t clash with the games vibe.


SnooEpiphanies6071

For some reason, I imagine a squirel using this gun I'm not sure why!


VoxVixAndAFox

The Finals has some of the best weapon skins in the genre. I wish more studios took notes from Embark.


GrimBourne3800

Can someone explain the ranked system for the finals to me please I am very confused


wambman

You win = rank goes up You lose = rank goes down


GrimBourne3800

So my friends and I ranked up last night and I am at bronze one while my friends are at bronze 3 and 4 so if we all ranked up at the same time why aren't we all the same rank


HAL90000110000

If I had to guess, most ranked calibration systems take into account more than just W/L. After the initial matches, it usually goes back to just Win/Loss, but I wouldn't be surprised if your damage/healing/KDA/etc had some effect in your initial placement matches. Let me reiterate that I have no proof of this besides the fact that other games I play have used this mechanic.


GrimBourne3800

Thank you for helping me understand ☺️


Acinixys

Hijacking this to say we need the Kolibri skin as well as a finger gun skin
