Been grinding The Finals a lot lately and had a few ideas I wanted to throw out and see what people think.
1. Medium Shotgun Idea
Something like a Benelli M4 style shotgun for Medium. Not trying to replace the 1887, but more like a safer, more controllable option.
- Semi-auto
- 7+1 feed system (Based on IRL specs)
- Lower damage than 1887 but more forgiving Could be nice for players who don’t want the high risk high reward of 1887. Or good for beginners where this shotgun could be a easy on recoil
2. Heavy Long-Range Option
I do feel Heavy lacks a reliable long-range option.
BFR Titan feels inconsistent at range sometimes. Maybe something like a 50 cal sniper resembling the real life McMillan Tac-50. Bulky but heavy damage. I felt BFR-Titan has taken some serious nerfs and I think the gun doesn't work well for long ranges as advertised
3. Light Gadget Idea ( I call it Blowdart)
This one I think could be fun if balanced right. Similar to how Battle rage works in MW 2023
A dart you shoot at a teammate that gives a short burst buff:
- Small HP boost OR damage reduction (not both ideally)
- Very short duration (like 10 seconds or less. Don't wanna make it OP)
- Skillshot based
Kind of like a clutch “save your teammate” moment during chaotic fights.
Overall just thinking about ways to add variety which maybe potentially interesting to play the game.
Curious what you guys think
