The Finals weapon has just received “amazing skins” but needs massive “nerf reverted”

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent in The Finals, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and frustration with this week’s update. On one hand, the new skins are nothing short of stunning, and they have certainly reignited my passion for the game. However, the lack of balance changes is a bit disheartening, particularly when it comes to the FCAR.

As a dedicated fan of “The Finals,” I was eagerly awaiting this week’s update, hoping for some much-needed balance changes and tweaks to the game modes. However, upon installing the new version, I found that it was merely a rotation of skins in the store. While the addition of some stunning new weapon skins is certainly appealing, I must admit that I feel a tad disappointed by the lack of substantial updates this time around.

Embark has clarified the absence of patch notes for update 3.7.0, assuring us a full patch will be released next week. Although we’re unsure about the specifics, there’s excitement for what’s to come in the near future. A recent developer leak hints at a new customization feature arriving with Season 4, while Embark has already confirmed that the Emerald Rank is expected for World Tour.

At this point, specifics about the upcoming update next week remain undisclosed. However, it’s clear that players are hoping for a boost to the least powerful weapon in the game, and members of The Finals community have expressed a desire to see the FCAR’s recoil adjustment reverted back to its original state.

The Finals fans want FCAR recoil nerf reverted

Responding to this week’s update on r/TheFinals, user CinemaAndChillT (OP) has posted an inquiry titled, ‘With all these fantastic new FCAR skin releases, I notice fewer players opting for the gun. What do fans think about potential buffs for the FCAR?’

So many amazing new Fcar skins yet I see less and less people using the gun. Do you guys think it needs a buff? Seems like its animations set was the weakest one released too. Thoughts?

In response to the user’s suggestion of enhancing the weapon (buff), several comments suggest that a previous reduction in recoil (recoil nerf) should be undone or reversed, which was mentioned in the update 2.2.0 patch notes. Here are the adjustments made to the FCAR:

  • Adjusted recoil pattern to make the weapon slightly less easy to control
  • Decreased the damage fall-off multiplier at max range from 0.67 to 0.5, meaning it does less damage at long-range

Ever since Embark adjusted the recoil pattern on the FCAR, many fans have expressed dissatisfaction, claiming that it’s lost its appeal and is less enjoyable to play with now.

“User expresses a preference for the AK over the FCAR due to its lower recoil.”

In simpler terms, one user suggested that developers should understand that adjusting recoil doesn’t equate to balancing a game. Another user agreed, explaining that for a weapon to feel balanced, it should have the same and consistent ‘feel’, while factors like rate of fire (ROF), damage output, and clip size are what should be adjusted instead.

Regrettably, the reduction in power (nerf) for the recoil was implemented early in Season 2, and there’s no sign that Embark intends to undo these changes.
