The Finals fans want Embark to buff most “pathetic” gun in the game

The Finals regularly receives updates on a weekly basis, and fans are anticipating another patch to arrive soon. As with every multiplayer game, balancing weapons is difficult as there’s always going to be guns inferior and more overpowered than others. Weapon balancing is always topical within the community, and many of The Finals fans want Embark to buff a gun slammed as the most “pathetic” in the game.

You can check out the update 3.6.0 patch notes to see the most recent changes from Embark. There were a lot of changes made to Cashout and Terminal Attack, and there were also changes made to the 93R. Away from this update, Embark has just “leaked” a new customization option that is on the way, and they have also released a new bundle with a Legendary outfit that pays you back with Multibucks equal to the bundle’s price.

We expect another new update to arrive this week, and, as always, fans have a wishlist of what they yearn to see. While many of The Finals community would still love to see nerfs for Light, many also want to see buffs for the revolver.

The Finals fans want Embark to buff the revolver

On The Finals’ subreddit, OP New_Bad_1504 has shared a post titled, ‘Buff the revolver damage on 50m+ range you can’t even kill a medium hitting every shot‘. The post is accompanied by a gameplay clip providing the OP’s point in practice.

Reacting to the clip, many of the replies agree with the OP’s sentiment while slamming the revolver. One of the top replies says, “revolver needs more work for sure, long range damage is embarrassing considering the high skill ceiling”. Another comment says, “revolver is probably the weirdest gun in the game balancing wise”.

While weirdest and embarrassing are choice words for some, others have dubbed it “pathetic”. One comment says, “Fr, the damage drop-off is so pathetic,” while another comment says, “reloading is so slow and doesn’t make up for the s**t damage it does”.

As for how the revolver should be buffed exactly, some comments suggest, “just buffing the damage by 1 would be nice”. Other comments agree that Embark should “Just increase the reload speed to make up for the low mag”.

Some comments have just suggested increasing rounds to eight from six. Some have disputed this by saying the weapon is a six bullet cylinder, but, as pointed out by others, “light has unlimited knives to throw. It’s a game,” and “8 round cylinders aren’t an imaginary thing”.

Another user shared their bullet points for how they would buff the revolver:

• Increase Damage by 1 Point (Two Shot Bodyshot lights)
• Decrease Headshot Multiplier to 1.90x (down from 2x) Light players shouldn’t be a 1-Shot-Headshot IMO
• Increase Range (don’t have a specific number for that but I’d start with 10% more range)
• Decrease visual screenshake when shooting (Has no effect on the actual gun but the usability)
  The last point is something I’d would apply to almost all weapons.

We don’t know what Embark will include in their upcoming update, but hopefully there are some balance changes even if the revolver isn’t included.
