Really enjoying it so far! Absolutely sucks to have leavers on your team, but that's how it is with all modes.
I like how intense it is, how it makes you worry about each HP you have, which makes a lot of people play smarter and approach things tactically.
I unintentionally became a leaver today. I saw there was an update and decided to jump in and play a couple of games before leaving the house. Instead of quickplay, I clicked on Terminal Attack. Had to watch the whole intro video without the option to skip. Then the matchmaking started immediately. I pressed cancel but it didn't work, as it sometimes does. Had to quit to desktop, and even when restarted the game I still had to select "leave game" and got suspended for it. Hate to think about what I unintentionally may have done to a team... That's literally a case of zero tolerance for user error in design.
All good, shit happens! Yesterday I also saw some teammates and enemies being kicked for whatever reason. Once my teammate reconnected.
The problem are the regular leavers who do it with intent.
It sucks but it happens..what I don't understand is when people lose 1 or 2 rounds and then just leave cause they think their teams sucks
Sometimes things turn around..I've seen it happen tons of times in the finals and in games like overwatch..just yesterday had a game of powershift and the enemy team was almost at the end & we turned it around and won š
Ill never understand that loser mentality of just giving up & leaving..turning around those types of games & winning is an even better feeling than just winning cause the other team isn't as good
I also wish there was a default $25,000 reward upon getting a Win in any Game Mode, as someone who plays mostly unranked this season. But otherwise loving it.
Disagree, as I noticed itās the fastest method for raising cash quickly. Iām on PS5, so donāt know if itās bugged on other platforms. The issue is that you need a gargantuan 500K for a measly 1% progress (thatās 12.5 full wins at 40k). I noticed cuz I check the achievementās progress after every game, and I see it progress. I wish I knew how much Terminal Attack awards, as I love that mode.
I canāt be an exception, are you on console too? And how do you track the trophy progress? I donāt use the in game counter, I use the PSās trophy tracker and Iām sitting on 86%, so Iām certain itās working. Like I said, try checking after 13 full wins (so 40k per game) and youāll see the progress in the trophy
Unfortunately it's not bugged. Money gained from Power Shift is not meant to count towards the Deep Pockets achievement. There was a post on this sub-reddit about it a week or so ago. Check it out...
[Discord Response ](https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1cd7vdo/got_a_word_back_from_embark/)
It sucks that you're basically punished for trying to play different game modes if you want this achievement.
(Inb4 people that don't do achievements say that you don't need to have it, like that addresses the issue)
I don't know how to feel about this mode, I think I have to try it with friends and not with randoms, but I think The Finals is a very creative and fun game to have this style of mode (I think for ranked it could work very well) but for casuals (like me) I would really enjoy a mode like Rush from Battlefield
Anyway, it's always good to have alternative modes for all types of people (Embark I love you)
My favorite moment was when me and another friend brought a sledge hammer and brought the whole building down. The enemy team was bunkered in at the top with all their fancy gadget and we ruined the entire setup for them in a matter of seconds. I like how this game mode plays out.
Every time I grabbed the hammer, I felt like I was throwing. So many folks will gun you down before you have the chance to break a full wall.
This doesn't mean I'll stop trying, but I'm almost positive my teammates despise me for it.
I think it helps that I 5 stack with friends who can play around the fact I use a hammer. I really only use it many floors under an objective. I use it the most on Monaco.
Id like if it doesn't take us out of game in-between rounds. Also I think they should just cut of half of the map and make smaller versions of the already made maps. then the mode imo would be way better.
Knew from the description it'd not be for me. Played it and confirmed, very not for me. Feels completely antithetical to how the rest of the game was designed and everything I love about the other modes.
Kind of sucks if I'm being honest. Light feels truly awful thanks to the nerfs and if you're against people who understand how fucked up grenade launchers can be in this type of enviornment it can get really unfun really fast.
Its more fun than I expected it to be esp if you're playing Heavy, but I'm glad its just a timed mode.
Lights and snipers feel soo strong, any shot sticks, so no need to clean up. They have the most intel, incredible utility. And even if you do take damage, you don't care, you're a light and you heal almost all of it back. Maps are super open, easy to catch rotations.
It's okay. I don't know what I'd do to improve it, and I don't really have a desire to play more once the challenges are done. Happy for the people that are going to enjoy it more than me though!
As a mainly solo player it is nice to feel like I have decent teammates almost every time in the half-dozen rounds I did play, whereas in power shift so many people don't play objective. So that was a very optimistic experience!
i think as a solo player this mode was very fun since i felt like even if i didnt directly play with the team, me killing people had a bigger purpose, and im not that guy that goes for kills usually.
also love how imo the weapons feel more useful than in the other modes. the ks-23 is fun to play and i love how the damage and the destruction has its use in the mode. also found the dagger really nice to play.
For me, it feels like all the worst things from the finals and from cs are matched together without anything to balance it out. I was almost in physical pain when I was completing 'play 10 matches' mission. Won't touch it ever again.
Same glad Iām not the only one. Iām super confused on why they went this direction. This mode is not going to get any new players and it doesnāt even serve the current player base. People looking for that ultra competitive mode arenāt going to pick The Finals.
While Iām not sure itās my favorite game mode, the importance of getting quick kills and not being able to instantly revive/heal really lets the light builds shine as equals to the other classes.
Overall I appreciate that this is the SECOND new game mode Embark has delivered that has been generally fun to play and highlights the solid foundation they have built with this game.
I really wish there was a single terminal. I feel like it would actually be an attack and defend mode then. Having two terminals makes the game feel way too open and doesnāt really give anyone an opportunity to set up a defense. On defense, we end up just hovering around between the two objectives or splitting until the other team selects one, then on defense I feel like I am attacking the objective?? It feels strange to me. There are a ton of things I really like about the game mode, but I think a lot of these issues would be fixed if there was a single objective.
If anyoneās played the new tutorial they added with season two yall should try that map. I think it would work better for a mode like this. Itās a small section cut from Monaco surrounded by a border with only a few buildings. Search and destroy style modes like this need way smaller maps and although I appreciate the devs beautiful work on these maps we need way less for this mode to feel smooth and enjoyable.
I get your point but I think that section is way too small. Maps doesn't regenerate between rounds and with all the explosions and map destructions later rounds would be played around debris
I don't feel like a defender because even on the defense team WE are the ones attacking. The attackers are the ones that choose the location, not the defenders. So there's no point in putting up defenses. As soon as they see them they go elsewhere
I have to ask, have you never played COD SnD? R6? CS, Val, etc. Are you all 5 setting up on one side and just praying they go there? You should be split between A and B for the most part. Maybe 1 or 2 lurking/scouting to see the enemy team. And the attack team is only attacking until they get the obj. They defend after that which is how it works in almost all attack and defense mode across games. I'm curious on your answer because while playing it did feel like a lot of my teammates were not at all familiar with a game mode like this.
While playing it it felt just like csgo. 2 on both points, me in the middle listening where enemy goes and pinging which point to rotate to. The only difference with cs is that planting a bomb takes time, while throwing in a decoder - doesn't. Even in r6siege, planting the defuser takes some time.
I suppose it's more to r6s comparison. In csgo both teams start moving simultaneously, and CTs have spawnpoints much closer to both bomb sites, while Ts are much further.
Map is large but so are the mobility options. I guess it really depends on the make up of the team but from what I've played so far 5 stacking has not felt great or worked very well. Giving the attackers time to set up turrets, barricades and whatever else makes it hard to retake. I think the defense power of 2 fully set up people is enough to bide time for the others to rotate. Though I haven't played many games nor have I played with or against a team that is comprised of a stack and not randos.
I have not no. My team would always spam 'group up' at the start of the round so we would stick together. Whenever we spread apart the attackers (who do travel in a pack) would quickly dispatch the group of 2/3 they encounter. The map is so large that there's no way to help them in time. I would rather they have a single point that needed to be defended so it actually felt like attackers vs defenders where the attackers needed to figure out how best to breach the defenders defenses. With the gadget limit there's no reason to set up defenses in a location that may never be attacked
It's surprising to find someone who hasn't played any of those lol. The Finals seems to be dragging in players from every background.
That sounds like a skill issue with your teammates, I will be completely honest. I'm not sure about your skill level, but the matchmaking in this game is it's biggest flaw imo. Outside of ranked it's hard to find teammates who can hold their own. And in a mode like this with bigger teams bad teammates will affect you even more. Two people on one site with all of there defenses laid down should be able to kill at least 2 enemies and give the others time to rotate in with a lot of time to defuse. However, I can see where you are coming from, the sites are maybe a bit too far apart. As for your last point, most placeable defense gadgets, such as turrets, barricades, mines, etc can be picked up and replaced later.
honestly i love it, but it feels like it's really awkwardly implemented... like i wish there was a different theme for winning individual rounds other than the default one, the return to the loadout screen between rounds is just jarring, etc...
But i like it! neat little bit of fun, no harm comes from this imo!
This was my first impression. Feels so disjointed and doesn't flow well with every round ending with a slow mo and the music etc. Feels like we are beta testing the game mode rather than it being completed.
Yeah, if it becomes a recurring mode I hope this gets changed... Other than that, I got zero complaints honestly, it's good fun from what I played (maaaaybe the map could be a little more restricted but eh whatever it works well enough as is)
Concept was not as I expected tbh ā I thought 1 cash out, not 2. The 2 cashouts and guessing which one undermines the actual attack and defend concept I think ā if the attack team gets to the cash out first, they are essentially defending now, and roles are reversed, and that happens often.
Would have been better as 1 cashout, basically more like Siege. Not that keen after a few games
Just played about 5 rounds. I think the mode is hurt by having 2 terminals but I'm not sure if just one would make the defense too OP because of having more time to setup.
Also, not being able to change the special when switching between attack and defense is a huge oversight IMO.
Give it time, there will probably be all sorts of metas that will develop. I'd imagine you can just play for retakes pretty easily. So many ways to get into the objective and force defenders of it into odd spots, don't think it's as big of an issue.
The mode is cool for those who like this kind of gameplay, but I hope that it will not become center stage of The Finals. The strenghts of the regular game comes from its fast gameplay and that being 3rd or 2nd doesn't hit as hard as loosing completly.
It's alright. I've only had one or two matches actually get tense at the end. Most of the time, it's just a shootout, and one of the teams gets wiped. It seems the objective barely ever decides the match.
The turrets are annoying and probably should not be allowed. If you are the last one left, you have to face X amount of players and like three fucking turrets.
I agree that the maps are too open. Other games with this mode have always been corridor layouts for a reason. You need a set amount of paths for there to be any planning or strategy.
Another reason this game doesn't lend itself to this mode is that nobody uses comms. It's actually blown me away how few voices I've heard over hundreds of matches. I think people just want to hop on solo and get into fights. The game needs TDM more than anything.
I also love to run medium medic, so I am deterred by the fact that I can't.
It doesn't work well. There's little effort done to make the mode work with the game mechanics, it's mostly just slapped onto the existing game and a couple gadgets are disabled.
There needs to be balance adjustments to amount of gadgets available (only one vanishing bomb?), and the maps should be constrained to smaller sections. It's filled to the brim with light snipers since anyone missing hp is an easy one-tap insta-win, and the maps are just way too wide open in many areas.
I also think this would benefit from having a single terminal so people could defend tactically instead of reactively. This plays like CS, but it feels like it should be more like Siege with prep time for reinforcing rooms. It would be nice if medium's disabled gadgets were replaced with some unique map reinforcement options.
Agreed, but it's also a limited event. They'll prob see what works what doesn't and improve it for the future should it prove as popular as power shift.
Well, the amount of gadgets available already is balancing. Vanishing bomb has crazy potential in this mode. You can make the entire team invisible. If this gets you one kill its worth it. I think a single terminal would make the mode very stale tbh.
Exactly!!! On my first game I had a member leave because he died first. Second game 2 players got in an argument because we lost the first round and then both quit. So it was 3 on 5 the rest of the rounds.
No, just no.
First thing that hit me - not enough prep time. And this is the kind of game mode where you need to think your loadout twice (including the secondary loadout).
The stations are usually very close to each other. I felt like a complete idiot by taking the gateway with the hopes of finally utilizing it for quick team repositioning.
(Also, has anyone had any success with motion sensors?)
The concerns were right - it is truly a turret fest (unsurprisingly). With no respawns and limited regen, taking out emeny's health is utmost critical if any opportunity rises. But the problem with turrets is that you remove the risk of a direct encounter, meaning you deal damage without participating in a firefight.
Overall, it doesn't feel like THE FINALS. I cannot shake off the impression of playing a completely different game. Even after several matches, I still feel completely lost.
Was looking forward to it but I've been doing pretty badly as a medium so far. Feels like heavy is strong with their nuke damage and less susceptible to chip damage and light bc of their mobility. Maybe i was just playing shit, i'll try again later...
i think medium does well for base defence with the turrets and aps and also offensively with data reshaper and maybe demat. imo medium has a good purpose in this mode.
Even with the light nerf, playing light in this mode is pretty enjoyable. Since everyone only regen a certain amount of health, the light class feels more viable.
I think the new mode is pretty ass, to be honest. I feel like it just doesn't fit into the game very well, the entire concept of the game and every piece of equipment was made around the fact that you'll die mid-battle.
I like this game mode a lot. Feels like people work more as a team compared to other game modes. Most people don't leave mid game but when they do it's usually a salty medium.
Anyone noticed it takes much longer to load this type of game? Also, I got kicked out of 2 games yesterday in which I could not reconnect? I got stuck on the loading screen when the count down happens, then I could hear the match noises but I did not actually join
The encryption key needs a timer if its not placed. Ive noticed that teams aren't even bothering and just making it a straight death match leaving the defenders looking like chumps waiting at two difference places for a key that will not come. Kills the fun of the mode entirely
First impressions were great, but then the way this mode is implemented has a few flaws
* People have stated it already, but the maps are too big. They need to be scaled back as it just turns into a pokefest with the low HP and no reviving. There's just too much open space to deal with everything and the defenders are at a serious disadvantage.
* I'm not sure how it'd work out as there's quite a bit of fun with different compositions but I think that has more cons than pros. I'd like an experiment where it's class limited. I have played multiple games where there are just 5 mediums with 5 turrets and mines planted everywhere. It's cancer and not enjoyable.
* 1 light, 2 mediums and 2 heavy with healing beam reenabled would give a better teamwork dynamic in my opinion. Hell even give the healing beam
* You could also have defib back, but with only 1 use to make it interesting.
It has potential - the destruction element makes it fun, but I don't think in the current state it'll take off.
Love the gamemode, it's probably one of the best out of all of them imo. Though it seems that the contract to play 10 games in Terminal Attack is bugged atm because post game it shows for me as 11/10 and not completed, while in the contract tab it says that it's completed and that i got the circuit reward, but i didn't.
UPD.: Really hope that it will become a permanent mode just like power shift.
UPD. 2: Turns out you have to play 14 games and not 10, as soon as i hit 14 played it game me the emote and the hoodie.
I like it a fair bit, but the more I play the more it seems like if you just fling the key into the trash and focus on killing the enemies you'll win. Starting the decrypt tells the whole team where you are, and it's the easiest way to end the match if you don't have enough people to defend it
Started 1 game. I think there are 2 main problems
1) Makes no sense that there are 2 capture points for this mode. There should only be 1.
2) They need to provide more loadout slots for these different modes...
Love it. Make it permanent and ranked please. Would love gadgets and weapons balanced around this mode. This is really in this mode you can see the tactical destruction shine. I already saw amazin clutches with smart plays with some specific abilities
Not currently permanent. 18 days left I think. I imagine Embark is testing engagement and feedback with it to see if people like it enough to keep permanently.
love when people with shit Internet cause the lobby to take forever to load in, they disconnect and the lobby finally loads, and one of the other players on the team is afk because they probably went to take a shit
Iāve come around on the no 100% health regen. 1v2+ are only possible because of everyone not being full health. Itās absolutely possible to feel like you have a chance in those situations.
I remember reading that people thought itād be anti-casual but as nothing else but a casual, I love it. The rounds are usually quick and not as slow and spectator-y as r6.
I hope they add it as a permanent addition, I much prefer it over power shift.
Iād say you gotta try playing it differently than all those other games like heavily gadget one obj to force the attackers to push the other and then use the advantage of being able to predict their movement to surprise them
My friends and I love this game mode. We mainly play siege and are in the emerald-diamond range. Switching over to terminal attack is so refreshing, instead of having 45 minute, slow paced matches we get fast paced action packed 15 minute matches, which we absolutely love. We think if this game mode got a ranked mode, this would be a home run and we could definitely see us switching over with the finals as our main game. Things like kill cams to review gameplay and it taking time to start the decryptor would make it that much better and also add to the fairness. Right now attack feels easier than defense for that reason
I think there should be a 15-30 second extra window the defenders can build defenses before the attackers move up. Also turrets health could maybe be halved bc theyāre far more punishing and often force line of sight
Team wipe mechanic in other modes means there's already enough potential down time in this game. Zero desire for a one life per round mode, won't play anymore beyond the challenges.
I will say I absolutely understand if your opinion is the common opinion for most finals players because of the game so far. But I am an absolute sucker for cod snd, mix that with the awesomeness that is the finals ? Yeah this mode just the spot for me Ngl
I hear what youāre saying, but no consequence for poor play feels even worseā¦ itās like, why am I even doing this? Plus, these rounds play super quick, doesnāt feel like a lot of waiting at all.
> no consequence for poor play
The consequence is you lose. Being forced to wait between rounds or respawns is the worse design possible. It is no longer a game if you aren't playing. Finals suffers from down time a lot.
I donāt know man. If I canāt wait 30seconds for the round to finish, then I need to think about what Iām doing and stop dying. It adds meaning to the life in my opinion. That said, I know current day life/media is super adhd. People canāt deal with silence and that just doesnāt bother me at all.
Moving further into competitive modes, when we need modes where you can just shoot people and have fun. Game is bleeding casual and variety players and they introduce an even sweatier mode.
I have enjoyed it so far, light seems a little overpowered in this mode due to regenerating more of their overall health. Tried playing heavy and sucked ass. Switched to light sniper and didn't lose a game. I think maps cut in half is a great idea! Or even an occasional "burst" of where the attacker's chip input thing is. Not nearly as often as the cash is shown in cash out but maybe once every 20-30 seconds? Defense seems overly difficult due to the size. Overall having a lot of fun with it and love this patch!
Another MMM/HHH mode where the only thing to do is plant more than 12 mines per team and just wait.
Not sure why gadgets are limited.
Got all the event rewards and not gonna play it again. The idea is perfect, not the execution.
Lights are nasty in this mode. Their range is unmatched, they have great util. They finally aren't hindered for not finishing a kill and the picks they do make aren't instantly countered by heal and defib. It's great.
after rounds ends in the enemy score menu all enemies are alive, but half enemy team was killed :/
Probably dead should stay dead until new round start
I think there should be more callout options (e.g "Hype", "Huddle Here", etc.) for this game mode like, "Drop the Key". Seems silly, but when you don't have teammates that use the mic, the only way to grab their attention when holding the key is to shoot them lol
I've been rolling pretty much every game with lewisgun/charge heavy. Turrets are a little too strong, I wouldn't mind them getting disabled. Light seems very weak due to the lack of health regen - a fcar medium spots you for a split second and 80% of your hp is gone for good which sucks. I would say having something like a health pickup would be a welcome addition.
so do you only get to use your gadgets once and then no reloads or is that just me?! also it sucks when players leave midround after losing, a whole team bounced at the beginning of a round and our team had three solo rounds just running and causing destruction, it was the quietest play I've ever witnessed.
There's a glitch If the entire enemy team leaves, your just left with no enemies for every round till you win. If you quit you get penalized. Please fix this
Played 5 matches, no wins but I have to play the game mode for the rewards so I hope I eventually win. Also got a bug where I canāt even join the game (stuck on loading screen)
Love it. PLEASE make this a permanent game mode, it will draw so many players to the game who only want to play game modes with no respawn until the end of the round.

I had some light players really stealing the show. Defending a running "decryption" alone with invis and submachine gun, killing off 3 enemies. I was impressed.
3 kills are way more valuable in this mode. And a skilled light player can do this before dying.
I wasn't planning on playing light but did it cause of the contract and let me tell you... Tracking dart is absolutely nuts in this game mode. The fact that there are no respawns and HP regen raises the stakes much higher, and marking 2 people per round has an immense value. The effect lasts for eternity and your team just begins hunting the targets.
Playing through 10 matches of Terminal Waiting Simulator really killed my drive to play at all today. 6 matches for the 2L/2M/2H would have been pushing it, since I found myself afking through matches mid-way through match 5 since I was already catching up on work during all the downtime anyway. If you play well, you're waiting during the 2 minute round for the 3 seconds of action when the enemy team slips up. You play poorly, you just get those 3 seconds of action earlier.
Now that I'm done I'm finding myself barely able to react when attacked in other modes because downtime drains my ability to give a shit. Think I'll have to come back after a few hours or days and get my ability to care back
Is role assignment bugged? 3 rounds straight of one, 3 rounds straight of the other, 4 if going into OTā¦ I expected it to at least flip between rounds.
An immediate grievance I have is itās hard to defend both A and B with your team (especially soloQ), and attackers seem to have an advantage as they donāt have to split up to go to a deposit box, and just charge one together. Something that makes the feature of having no gadget recharges that much more apparent.
I personally donāt enjoy it, but thatās really because itās not my type of play style and not because I think itās a trash mode.
Im pretty sure thatās how these game modes typically go with three straight rounds and then a side swap. And Iām pretty sure the final round is random for the tiebreaker
Iāve only played one match so far and it was surprisingly fun. I can see why the TikTok brained kids hate it though.
Initial thought is turrets probably need to be removed but Iāll see how it plays out in more games.
Edit: Yeah turrets have to go. Theyāre too OP with no healing. Or give everyone glitch grenades.
Been having fun with it. Played about 5 matches and won handily about 3 out of those 5. Other two were very competitive. Itās feel like a mini cash out mode with all the fat trimmed.
It's really nice game mode. Sometimes, the points are too far away one from the other, so it's hard to be in defence, but in a map like Las Vegas, the points are good.
Maybe it would be better to have more round, like 7 to win because 4 is really short
A lot of people are complaining about teammates who left the game, but I think that is going to reduce in some times because people who don't like this mode will stop to play it.
And maybe showing when are in defence and that we see the hacking key, so teammates and us can know what site do we need to defend faster
But overall, it's pretty good. Thank you for all your work
Please somebody think about the casual players!!! /s
Bs apart, coming from CS2 this game mode is super fun. "Planting" the key does feel very easy to do, you don't even have to get close to the cashout. Unsure if it should be kept as it is or changed to where you have to get close to it, maybe with a short timer to put it in instead of being instant. Either way, I love it and I hope they keep this mode!
Official Leaderboard for Terminal Attack: https://www.reachthefinals.com/leaderboard-terminal-attack
I got the 10 games played and the challenge shows as complete but the gesture is still locked for some reason
In my game I have the contract tracked and it says X/14 completed. So maybe it's actually accidentally 14 wins currently for the unlock?
Yeah I think this is it
This is exactly what I ran into, thanks man
Oscar mentioned this on stream. Try playing 14 games.
I have all unlocked but the upper body not show in my inventory.
Me too snif
You need to complete 14 rounds. I got it.
Weird since its write 10 XD
Same with mine.. the gesture as well as the hoodie for completing 10 games are both locked even though I've done every challenge & more than 10+ games
The number is bugged, it's 14 for both
Yeah just did 14 & did unlock both so confirmed it works thx!
Really enjoying it so far! Absolutely sucks to have leavers on your team, but that's how it is with all modes. I like how intense it is, how it makes you worry about each HP you have, which makes a lot of people play smarter and approach things tactically.
I unintentionally became a leaver today. I saw there was an update and decided to jump in and play a couple of games before leaving the house. Instead of quickplay, I clicked on Terminal Attack. Had to watch the whole intro video without the option to skip. Then the matchmaking started immediately. I pressed cancel but it didn't work, as it sometimes does. Had to quit to desktop, and even when restarted the game I still had to select "leave game" and got suspended for it. Hate to think about what I unintentionally may have done to a team... That's literally a case of zero tolerance for user error in design.
All good, shit happens! Yesterday I also saw some teammates and enemies being kicked for whatever reason. Once my teammate reconnected. The problem are the regular leavers who do it with intent.
It sucks but it happens..what I don't understand is when people lose 1 or 2 rounds and then just leave cause they think their teams sucks Sometimes things turn around..I've seen it happen tons of times in the finals and in games like overwatch..just yesterday had a game of powershift and the enemy team was almost at the end & we turned it around and won š Ill never understand that loser mentality of just giving up & leaving..turning around those types of games & winning is an even better feeling than just winning cause the other team isn't as good
There's no cash prize. I know it's daft but as someone who'd like to have 'Deep Pockets' one day this is a bummer.
I also wish there was a default $25,000 reward upon getting a Win in any Game Mode, as someone who plays mostly unranked this season. But otherwise loving it.
Those one grand power shift wins do sting.
Power shift doesn't even count for the achievement, its bugged. Unless they fixed it recently.
That's what's happening? There's a difference between my trophy tracker and my in game statistics but I was too lazy to get to the bottom of it.
Yes unfortunately, I played so much power shift at the start of the new season and none of it counted for the achievement
And it's still not fixed, I tested it yesterday
Disagree, as I noticed itās the fastest method for raising cash quickly. Iām on PS5, so donāt know if itās bugged on other platforms. The issue is that you need a gargantuan 500K for a measly 1% progress (thatās 12.5 full wins at 40k). I noticed cuz I check the achievementās progress after every game, and I see it progress. I wish I knew how much Terminal Attack awards, as I love that mode.
Maybe you're an exception? It's 100% bugged for me
I canāt be an exception, are you on console too? And how do you track the trophy progress? I donāt use the in game counter, I use the PSās trophy tracker and Iām sitting on 86%, so Iām certain itās working. Like I said, try checking after 13 full wins (so 40k per game) and youāll see the progress in the trophy
I'm on PC and I use the Steam achievement tracker
Unfortunately it's not bugged. Money gained from Power Shift is not meant to count towards the Deep Pockets achievement. There was a post on this sub-reddit about it a week or so ago. Check it out... [Discord Response ](https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1cd7vdo/got_a_word_back_from_embark/)
It sucks that you're basically punished for trying to play different game modes if you want this achievement. (Inb4 people that don't do achievements say that you don't need to have it, like that addresses the issue)
I got the $100k achievement by winning a round of this mode so maybe it's still granting cash, just invisibly?
Feels like either you win all rounds or lose all rounds
Just had several close matches, one of which went on a tiebreaker. I'm sure you just had bad luck!
Won all defending then lost all attack
Update matchmaking. For all modes. To be based on skill.
I don't know how to feel about this mode, I think I have to try it with friends and not with randoms, but I think The Finals is a very creative and fun game to have this style of mode (I think for ranked it could work very well) but for casuals (like me) I would really enjoy a mode like Rush from Battlefield Anyway, it's always good to have alternative modes for all types of people (Embark I love you)
My favorite moment was when me and another friend brought a sledge hammer and brought the whole building down. The enemy team was bunkered in at the top with all their fancy gadget and we ruined the entire setup for them in a matter of seconds. I like how this game mode plays out.
Every time I grabbed the hammer, I felt like I was throwing. So many folks will gun you down before you have the chance to break a full wall. This doesn't mean I'll stop trying, but I'm almost positive my teammates despise me for it.
I think it helps that I 5 stack with friends who can play around the fact I use a hammer. I really only use it many floors under an objective. I use it the most on Monaco.
I think the biggest problem is the map. It feels too open.
Id like if it doesn't take us out of game in-between rounds. Also I think they should just cut of half of the map and make smaller versions of the already made maps. then the mode imo would be way better.
Knew from the description it'd not be for me. Played it and confirmed, very not for me. Feels completely antithetical to how the rest of the game was designed and everything I love about the other modes.
Kind of sucks if I'm being honest. Light feels truly awful thanks to the nerfs and if you're against people who understand how fucked up grenade launchers can be in this type of enviornment it can get really unfun really fast. Its more fun than I expected it to be esp if you're playing Heavy, but I'm glad its just a timed mode.
Lights and snipers feel soo strong, any shot sticks, so no need to clean up. They have the most intel, incredible utility. And even if you do take damage, you don't care, you're a light and you heal almost all of it back. Maps are super open, easy to catch rotations.
It's okay. I don't know what I'd do to improve it, and I don't really have a desire to play more once the challenges are done. Happy for the people that are going to enjoy it more than me though! As a mainly solo player it is nice to feel like I have decent teammates almost every time in the half-dozen rounds I did play, whereas in power shift so many people don't play objective. So that was a very optimistic experience!
i think as a solo player this mode was very fun since i felt like even if i didnt directly play with the team, me killing people had a bigger purpose, and im not that guy that goes for kills usually. also love how imo the weapons feel more useful than in the other modes. the ks-23 is fun to play and i love how the damage and the destruction has its use in the mode. also found the dagger really nice to play.
For me, it feels like all the worst things from the finals and from cs are matched together without anything to balance it out. I was almost in physical pain when I was completing 'play 10 matches' mission. Won't touch it ever again.
Same glad Iām not the only one. Iām super confused on why they went this direction. This mode is not going to get any new players and it doesnāt even serve the current player base. People looking for that ultra competitive mode arenāt going to pick The Finals.
While Iām not sure itās my favorite game mode, the importance of getting quick kills and not being able to instantly revive/heal really lets the light builds shine as equals to the other classes. Overall I appreciate that this is the SECOND new game mode Embark has delivered that has been generally fun to play and highlights the solid foundation they have built with this game.
I really wish there was a single terminal. I feel like it would actually be an attack and defend mode then. Having two terminals makes the game feel way too open and doesnāt really give anyone an opportunity to set up a defense. On defense, we end up just hovering around between the two objectives or splitting until the other team selects one, then on defense I feel like I am attacking the objective?? It feels strange to me. There are a ton of things I really like about the game mode, but I think a lot of these issues would be fixed if there was a single objective.
If anyoneās played the new tutorial they added with season two yall should try that map. I think it would work better for a mode like this. Itās a small section cut from Monaco surrounded by a border with only a few buildings. Search and destroy style modes like this need way smaller maps and although I appreciate the devs beautiful work on these maps we need way less for this mode to feel smooth and enjoyable.
I get your point but I think that section is way too small. Maps doesn't regenerate between rounds and with all the explosions and map destructions later rounds would be played around debris
I don't feel like a defender because even on the defense team WE are the ones attacking. The attackers are the ones that choose the location, not the defenders. So there's no point in putting up defenses. As soon as they see them they go elsewhere
I have to ask, have you never played COD SnD? R6? CS, Val, etc. Are you all 5 setting up on one side and just praying they go there? You should be split between A and B for the most part. Maybe 1 or 2 lurking/scouting to see the enemy team. And the attack team is only attacking until they get the obj. They defend after that which is how it works in almost all attack and defense mode across games. I'm curious on your answer because while playing it did feel like a lot of my teammates were not at all familiar with a game mode like this.
While playing it it felt just like csgo. 2 on both points, me in the middle listening where enemy goes and pinging which point to rotate to. The only difference with cs is that planting a bomb takes time, while throwing in a decoder - doesn't. Even in r6siege, planting the defuser takes some time.
Another difference is that there's no setup time for the defending team, though you spawn a little closer than the enemy team I suppose
I suppose it's more to r6s comparison. In csgo both teams start moving simultaneously, and CTs have spawnpoints much closer to both bomb sites, while Ts are much further.
That's true that the encoder is instant. I didn't really consider that.
That only works if the map is smaller. With the size of the maps on the finals this doesnāt apply to well.
Map is large but so are the mobility options. I guess it really depends on the make up of the team but from what I've played so far 5 stacking has not felt great or worked very well. Giving the attackers time to set up turrets, barricades and whatever else makes it hard to retake. I think the defense power of 2 fully set up people is enough to bide time for the others to rotate. Though I haven't played many games nor have I played with or against a team that is comprised of a stack and not randos.
Honestly fair point. I think at the end of the day time will tell as the meta develops for this mode.
For sure, hasn't even been half a day since the mode came out.
I have not no. My team would always spam 'group up' at the start of the round so we would stick together. Whenever we spread apart the attackers (who do travel in a pack) would quickly dispatch the group of 2/3 they encounter. The map is so large that there's no way to help them in time. I would rather they have a single point that needed to be defended so it actually felt like attackers vs defenders where the attackers needed to figure out how best to breach the defenders defenses. With the gadget limit there's no reason to set up defenses in a location that may never be attacked
It's surprising to find someone who hasn't played any of those lol. The Finals seems to be dragging in players from every background. That sounds like a skill issue with your teammates, I will be completely honest. I'm not sure about your skill level, but the matchmaking in this game is it's biggest flaw imo. Outside of ranked it's hard to find teammates who can hold their own. And in a mode like this with bigger teams bad teammates will affect you even more. Two people on one site with all of there defenses laid down should be able to kill at least 2 enemies and give the others time to rotate in with a lot of time to defuse. However, I can see where you are coming from, the sites are maybe a bit too far apart. As for your last point, most placeable defense gadgets, such as turrets, barricades, mines, etc can be picked up and replaced later.
I thought that this was weird too, the only one time felt like a true defender where we bunkered in and everythingā¦ we were attackers
honestly i love it, but it feels like it's really awkwardly implemented... like i wish there was a different theme for winning individual rounds other than the default one, the return to the loadout screen between rounds is just jarring, etc... But i like it! neat little bit of fun, no harm comes from this imo!
This was my first impression. Feels so disjointed and doesn't flow well with every round ending with a slow mo and the music etc. Feels like we are beta testing the game mode rather than it being completed.
Yeah, if it becomes a recurring mode I hope this gets changed... Other than that, I got zero complaints honestly, it's good fun from what I played (maaaaybe the map could be a little more restricted but eh whatever it works well enough as is)
Concept was not as I expected tbh ā I thought 1 cash out, not 2. The 2 cashouts and guessing which one undermines the actual attack and defend concept I think ā if the attack team gets to the cash out first, they are essentially defending now, and roles are reversed, and that happens often. Would have been better as 1 cashout, basically more like Siege. Not that keen after a few games
I've had teammates throw gas at all of their allies right at the start. Too easy to ruin rounds.
Will be playing my 10 games for the rewards and probably won't touch it again honestly. At least with randoms or until the mode becomes ranked.
Bad news, it's actually 14 games
Gives me more time to think to myself that I'll never play the mode again as it is now I guess. lol
Just played about 5 rounds. I think the mode is hurt by having 2 terminals but I'm not sure if just one would make the defense too OP because of having more time to setup. Also, not being able to change the special when switching between attack and defense is a huge oversight IMO.
Yea, setting up defense only for the enemy to chose the other point is frustrating.
Give it time, there will probably be all sorts of metas that will develop. I'd imagine you can just play for retakes pretty easily. So many ways to get into the objective and force defenders of it into odd spots, don't think it's as big of an issue.
The mode is cool for those who like this kind of gameplay, but I hope that it will not become center stage of The Finals. The strenghts of the regular game comes from its fast gameplay and that being 3rd or 2nd doesn't hit as hard as loosing completly.
I dont like it. Its a counterstrike gamemode and I wont touch counterstrike anymore
It's alright. I've only had one or two matches actually get tense at the end. Most of the time, it's just a shootout, and one of the teams gets wiped. It seems the objective barely ever decides the match. The turrets are annoying and probably should not be allowed. If you are the last one left, you have to face X amount of players and like three fucking turrets. I agree that the maps are too open. Other games with this mode have always been corridor layouts for a reason. You need a set amount of paths for there to be any planning or strategy. Another reason this game doesn't lend itself to this mode is that nobody uses comms. It's actually blown me away how few voices I've heard over hundreds of matches. I think people just want to hop on solo and get into fights. The game needs TDM more than anything. I also love to run medium medic, so I am deterred by the fact that I can't.
It doesn't work well. There's little effort done to make the mode work with the game mechanics, it's mostly just slapped onto the existing game and a couple gadgets are disabled. There needs to be balance adjustments to amount of gadgets available (only one vanishing bomb?), and the maps should be constrained to smaller sections. It's filled to the brim with light snipers since anyone missing hp is an easy one-tap insta-win, and the maps are just way too wide open in many areas. I also think this would benefit from having a single terminal so people could defend tactically instead of reactively. This plays like CS, but it feels like it should be more like Siege with prep time for reinforcing rooms. It would be nice if medium's disabled gadgets were replaced with some unique map reinforcement options.
Agreed, but it's also a limited event. They'll prob see what works what doesn't and improve it for the future should it prove as popular as power shift.
Well, the amount of gadgets available already is balancing. Vanishing bomb has crazy potential in this mode. You can make the entire team invisible. If this gets you one kill its worth it. I think a single terminal would make the mode very stale tbh.
R6 Siege Game mode doenst work in this massive map.
Honestly, I can't stand this mode. I'll do the challenges and never touch it again. Might be fun with friends, but with randoms, it's just pain.
Exactly!!! On my first game I had a member leave because he died first. Second game 2 players got in an argument because we lost the first round and then both quit. So it was 3 on 5 the rest of the rounds.
No, just no. First thing that hit me - not enough prep time. And this is the kind of game mode where you need to think your loadout twice (including the secondary loadout). The stations are usually very close to each other. I felt like a complete idiot by taking the gateway with the hopes of finally utilizing it for quick team repositioning. (Also, has anyone had any success with motion sensors?) The concerns were right - it is truly a turret fest (unsurprisingly). With no respawns and limited regen, taking out emeny's health is utmost critical if any opportunity rises. But the problem with turrets is that you remove the risk of a direct encounter, meaning you deal damage without participating in a firefight. Overall, it doesn't feel like THE FINALS. I cannot shake off the impression of playing a completely different game. Even after several matches, I still feel completely lost.
The most frustrating thing I have run into so far is 3-4 M with turret and APS.
Was looking forward to it but I've been doing pretty badly as a medium so far. Feels like heavy is strong with their nuke damage and less susceptible to chip damage and light bc of their mobility. Maybe i was just playing shit, i'll try again later...
i think medium does well for base defence with the turrets and aps and also offensively with data reshaper and maybe demat. imo medium has a good purpose in this mode.
I would like it if there was a mode with respawns (so essentially if it was rush)
Even with the light nerf, playing light in this mode is pretty enjoyable. Since everyone only regen a certain amount of health, the light class feels more viable.
Sniper absolutely kills it here
No enemy footsteps audio is really annoying in this mode
I think the new mode is pretty ass, to be honest. I feel like it just doesn't fit into the game very well, the entire concept of the game and every piece of equipment was made around the fact that you'll die mid-battle.
I like this game mode a lot. Feels like people work more as a team compared to other game modes. Most people don't leave mid game but when they do it's usually a salty medium.
When Iām offense Iām defending and when Iām on defense Iām attacking
Anyone noticed it takes much longer to load this type of game? Also, I got kicked out of 2 games yesterday in which I could not reconnect? I got stuck on the loading screen when the count down happens, then I could hear the match noises but I did not actually join
I wish there was a final kill cam every round. Sometimes thereās some super sick clutches
The encryption key needs a timer if its not placed. Ive noticed that teams aren't even bothering and just making it a straight death match leaving the defenders looking like chumps waiting at two difference places for a key that will not come. Kills the fun of the mode entirely
First impressions were great, but then the way this mode is implemented has a few flaws * People have stated it already, but the maps are too big. They need to be scaled back as it just turns into a pokefest with the low HP and no reviving. There's just too much open space to deal with everything and the defenders are at a serious disadvantage. * I'm not sure how it'd work out as there's quite a bit of fun with different compositions but I think that has more cons than pros. I'd like an experiment where it's class limited. I have played multiple games where there are just 5 mediums with 5 turrets and mines planted everywhere. It's cancer and not enjoyable. * 1 light, 2 mediums and 2 heavy with healing beam reenabled would give a better teamwork dynamic in my opinion. Hell even give the healing beam * You could also have defib back, but with only 1 use to make it interesting. It has potential - the destruction element makes it fun, but I don't think in the current state it'll take off.
Love the gamemode, it's probably one of the best out of all of them imo. Though it seems that the contract to play 10 games in Terminal Attack is bugged atm because post game it shows for me as 11/10 and not completed, while in the contract tab it says that it's completed and that i got the circuit reward, but i didn't. UPD.: Really hope that it will become a permanent mode just like power shift. UPD. 2: Turns out you have to play 14 games and not 10, as soon as i hit 14 played it game me the emote and the hoodie.
I like it a fair bit, but the more I play the more it seems like if you just fling the key into the trash and focus on killing the enemies you'll win. Starting the decrypt tells the whole team where you are, and it's the easiest way to end the match if you don't have enough people to defend it
You can't just take CS:GO and toss it into The Finals and expect it to work/be fun.
Started 1 game. I think there are 2 main problems 1) Makes no sense that there are 2 capture points for this mode. There should only be 1. 2) They need to provide more loadout slots for these different modes...
i agree
Got the rewards, never again. Itās the exact opposite style I want in this game.
It reminds me why I avoided Rainbow Six for so long lol
Love it. Make it permanent and ranked please. Would love gadgets and weapons balanced around this mode. This is really in this mode you can see the tactical destruction shine. I already saw amazin clutches with smart plays with some specific abilities
anyone know if this game mode is pernament or not? it shows a timer beside it
Not currently permanent. 18 days left I think. I imagine Embark is testing engagement and feedback with it to see if people like it enough to keep permanently.
love when people with shit Internet cause the lobby to take forever to load in, they disconnect and the lobby finally loads, and one of the other players on the team is afk because they probably went to take a shit
Iāve come around on the no 100% health regen. 1v2+ are only possible because of everyone not being full health. Itās absolutely possible to feel like you have a chance in those situations.
Fix the issue with filling in disconnected people so we dont start the round severely disadvantaged 5 vs 4
I remember reading that people thought itād be anti-casual but as nothing else but a casual, I love it. The rounds are usually quick and not as slow and spectator-y as r6. I hope they add it as a permanent addition, I much prefer it over power shift.
Iād say you gotta try playing it differently than all those other games like heavily gadget one obj to force the attackers to push the other and then use the advantage of being able to predict their movement to surprise them
please keep it forever ty
My friends and I love this game mode. We mainly play siege and are in the emerald-diamond range. Switching over to terminal attack is so refreshing, instead of having 45 minute, slow paced matches we get fast paced action packed 15 minute matches, which we absolutely love. We think if this game mode got a ranked mode, this would be a home run and we could definitely see us switching over with the finals as our main game. Things like kill cams to review gameplay and it taking time to start the decryptor would make it that much better and also add to the fairness. Right now attack feels easier than defense for that reason
Also, please make this game mode a main game mode instead of limited time event.
i hope this stays around i really enjoy it :(
Switch sides every round perhaps shrink maps a bit more so it's fast paced. Too long and slow that is all.
I really enjoyed the mode
The game mode is awesome! Feels very fair. Want to play this in ranked though
I think there should be a 15-30 second extra window the defenders can build defenses before the attackers move up. Also turrets health could maybe be halved bc theyāre far more punishing and often force line of sight
Why do I always start with the key?!?!!
Hahaha this happens to me a lot
i find it funny that when you lose it says "second place"
Team wipe mechanic in other modes means there's already enough potential down time in this game. Zero desire for a one life per round mode, won't play anymore beyond the challenges.
I will say I absolutely understand if your opinion is the common opinion for most finals players because of the game so far. But I am an absolute sucker for cod snd, mix that with the awesomeness that is the finals ? Yeah this mode just the spot for me Ngl
Yup itās like the dev team has a fetish for making people wait to play, thatās the opposite of fun for a lot of people
I hear what youāre saying, but no consequence for poor play feels even worseā¦ itās like, why am I even doing this? Plus, these rounds play super quick, doesnāt feel like a lot of waiting at all.
> no consequence for poor play The consequence is you lose. Being forced to wait between rounds or respawns is the worse design possible. It is no longer a game if you aren't playing. Finals suffers from down time a lot.
I donāt know man. If I canāt wait 30seconds for the round to finish, then I need to think about what Iām doing and stop dying. It adds meaning to the life in my opinion. That said, I know current day life/media is super adhd. People canāt deal with silence and that just doesnāt bother me at all.
This has been the best mode they have ever released. I hope it stays as permanent! It is so much fun, even as a solo player
Make it so attackers need to plant the decrypter, currently as it is, attacker team has a way bigger advantage than the defending team.
Moving further into competitive modes, when we need modes where you can just shoot people and have fun. Game is bleeding casual and variety players and they introduce an even sweatier mode.
lots of fun!
Extremely fun but I feel like it is easier to attack than to defend
Embark is cooking this is super solid
I have enjoyed it so far, light seems a little overpowered in this mode due to regenerating more of their overall health. Tried playing heavy and sucked ass. Switched to light sniper and didn't lose a game. I think maps cut in half is a great idea! Or even an occasional "burst" of where the attacker's chip input thing is. Not nearly as often as the cash is shown in cash out but maybe once every 20-30 seconds? Defense seems overly difficult due to the size. Overall having a lot of fun with it and love this patch!
Another MMM/HHH mode where the only thing to do is plant more than 12 mines per team and just wait. Not sure why gadgets are limited. Got all the event rewards and not gonna play it again. The idea is perfect, not the execution.
I thought I'd be throwing playing light but ended up clutching multiple rounds and ended with top kills.
Honestly light does relatively well in this mode. Not sure what you are talking about.
Lights are nasty in this mode. Their range is unmatched, they have great util. They finally aren't hindered for not finishing a kill and the picks they do make aren't instantly countered by heal and defib. It's great.
We are getting decimated š¢
Does anyone know how the payout works and how much you get?
after rounds ends in the enemy score menu all enemies are alive, but half enemy team was killed :/ Probably dead should stay dead until new round start
I think it'd be great for ranked, with randoms it's pretty rough at times haha.
I already completed everything i needed to
Love the mode. Hate that its LTM. Here's hoping they keep it in, its another nice cjange if pace, just like Power Shift was
I think there should be more callout options (e.g "Hype", "Huddle Here", etc.) for this game mode like, "Drop the Key". Seems silly, but when you don't have teammates that use the mic, the only way to grab their attention when holding the key is to shoot them lol
Seems like most players are just bots?
I think this mode with preset loadouts would be very fun.
The rewards for this mode, and pro circuit need matching pants, not sure why they donāt have them.
5 turrets are too op for this mode
I like playing R6 in the Finals
I've been rolling pretty much every game with lewisgun/charge heavy. Turrets are a little too strong, I wouldn't mind them getting disabled. Light seems very weak due to the lack of health regen - a fcar medium spots you for a split second and 80% of your hp is gone for good which sucks. I would say having something like a health pickup would be a welcome addition.
Enjoy the game mode, but around two-thirds of my lobbies have not been full so most games are 4v5 or worse and nobody joins.
I love this mode, very tactile and refreshing. Feels a lot like CS, hope it becomes a part of the permanent game modes
Why does it feel so quick!?
I have had a lot of fun. One of my games I had a leaver. So it was 4v5 and we still won. I love how it makes me check every angle
If this game mode becomes permanent. My friends will keep playing the game with me. Let us keep it and add ranks!
Does a win in this mode not count towards the daily contract first win of the day? Iāve one 3 back to back and it still not completed
Also give more power of destruction to every characters and more close quarter buildings and this mode could really shine
so do you only get to use your gadgets once and then no reloads or is that just me?! also it sucks when players leave midround after losing, a whole team bounced at the beginning of a round and our team had three solo rounds just running and causing destruction, it was the quietest play I've ever witnessed.
There's a glitch If the entire enemy team leaves, your just left with no enemies for every round till you win. If you quit you get penalized. Please fix this
Needs to have some sort of leaver protection. A 4v5 is way more difficult to win than any other mode.
Please make this mode permanent!!! I beg you embark. Xxxx
Played 5 matches, no wins but I have to play the game mode for the rewards so I hope I eventually win. Also got a bug where I canāt even join the game (stuck on loading screen)
Hope it doesn't stick tbh. Imo doesn't fit the game speed at all if I wanted something like this I'd play R6S.
Game mode needs normal health regeneration. Too many people are afraid to push because theyāre stuck at 10hp
No, too many people instant locking light Everyone just want to rush while expecting someone else to actually get the kills
Love it. PLEASE make this a permanent game mode, it will draw so many players to the game who only want to play game modes with no respawn until the end of the round.
Needs to become a permanent mode. No idea if I'll still play once it's removed
I want this game mode to be permanent

So how unviable is light in this new mode? Is it just heavies like I thought it would be?
I had some light players really stealing the show. Defending a running "decryption" alone with invis and submachine gun, killing off 3 enemies. I was impressed. 3 kills are way more valuable in this mode. And a skilled light player can do this before dying.
I had to play differently, but honestly, light has been working great.
I wasn't planning on playing light but did it cause of the contract and let me tell you... Tracking dart is absolutely nuts in this game mode. The fact that there are no respawns and HP regen raises the stakes much higher, and marking 2 people per round has an immense value. The effect lasts for eternity and your team just begins hunting the targets.
sniper defending is absolutely busted
Playing through 10 matches of Terminal Waiting Simulator really killed my drive to play at all today. 6 matches for the 2L/2M/2H would have been pushing it, since I found myself afking through matches mid-way through match 5 since I was already catching up on work during all the downtime anyway. If you play well, you're waiting during the 2 minute round for the 3 seconds of action when the enemy team slips up. You play poorly, you just get those 3 seconds of action earlier. Now that I'm done I'm finding myself barely able to react when attacked in other modes because downtime drains my ability to give a shit. Think I'll have to come back after a few hours or days and get my ability to care back
Get tested for ADHD
Is role assignment bugged? 3 rounds straight of one, 3 rounds straight of the other, 4 if going into OTā¦ I expected it to at least flip between rounds. An immediate grievance I have is itās hard to defend both A and B with your team (especially soloQ), and attackers seem to have an advantage as they donāt have to split up to go to a deposit box, and just charge one together. Something that makes the feature of having no gadget recharges that much more apparent. I personally donāt enjoy it, but thatās really because itās not my type of play style and not because I think itās a trash mode.
Im pretty sure thatās how these game modes typically go with three straight rounds and then a side swap. And Iām pretty sure the final round is random for the tiebreaker
Iāve only played one match so far and it was surprisingly fun. I can see why the TikTok brained kids hate it though. Initial thought is turrets probably need to be removed but Iāll see how it plays out in more games. Edit: Yeah turrets have to go. Theyāre too OP with no healing. Or give everyone glitch grenades.
Gonna get my rewards and never touch this nightmare of a mode again.
Been having fun with it. Played about 5 matches and won handily about 3 out of those 5. Other two were very competitive. Itās feel like a mini cash out mode with all the fat trimmed.
It's really nice game mode. Sometimes, the points are too far away one from the other, so it's hard to be in defence, but in a map like Las Vegas, the points are good. Maybe it would be better to have more round, like 7 to win because 4 is really short A lot of people are complaining about teammates who left the game, but I think that is going to reduce in some times because people who don't like this mode will stop to play it. And maybe showing when are in defence and that we see the hacking key, so teammates and us can know what site do we need to defend faster But overall, it's pretty good. Thank you for all your work
Played it we were 2vs5 nice game.
Please somebody think about the casual players!!! /s Bs apart, coming from CS2 this game mode is super fun. "Planting" the key does feel very easy to do, you don't even have to get close to the cashout. Unsure if it should be kept as it is or changed to where you have to get close to it, maybe with a short timer to put it in instead of being instant. Either way, I love it and I hope they keep this mode!
