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

The Finals has received a new update this week, but it is merely a rotation to the store rather than any fixes, balance changes, or tweaks to game modes. While the lack of balance changes is disappointing, the update has resulted in some new skins that look gorgeous. This week’s The Finals weapon skins look “amazing,” and this has reignited the want amongst fans for the FCAR to have its “nerf reverted”.

Embark has explained why there are no patch notes for update 3.7.0, and they have also promised that a proper patch will arrive next week. We don’t know what will be delivered next week as of yet, but there is stuff to anticipate for the future. A dev leak shows a new customization option is on the way for Season 4, and Embark has previously confirmed that Emerald Rank is on the way for World Tour.

While no details about next week’s update have been shared as of yet, we do know that fans would like to see the most “pathetic” weapon in the game buffed, and many in The Finals community would also like to see the FCAR’s recoil nerf reverted.

The Finals fans want FCAR recoil nerf reverted

Reacting to this week’s update on The Finals subreddit, OP CinemaAndChillT has shared a post titled, ‘So many amazing new FCAR skins yet I see less and less people using the gun‘. The title further asks if fans think the FCAR needs a buff.

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 OP’s proposal of a buff, many of the replies say it needs its “recoil nerf reverted”. This is presumably referring to the recoil nerf that was presented in the update 2.2.0 patch notes. Below are the changes that were implemented for 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

Since Embark tinkered with the recoil pattern, there have been numerous complaints from fans that the FCAR is no longer fun to use.

In response to the new FCAR skins, one of the comments says, “I would like to use it [FCAR] more but I’m way better with the AK because of less recoil”. Another comment says, “Just needs its recoil nerf reverting, feels s****y to use,” to which another comment agrees, “The gun doesn’t feel good to use anymore. Recoil is so messy now, combined with the recent dmg nerfs there really isnt any reason to choose it over model imo”.

One of the top replies says, “Devs need to realize that messing with recoil isn’t balancing,” to which another reply adds, “Fr ‘balance’ by f***ing with the way a gun feels isn’t balance the gun should feel the same and consistent, what should be tweaked is rof, damage, and clip size”.

Unfortunately, the recoil nerf happened in the early stages of Season 2, and there’s no indication that Embark is planning to revert the nerfs. If you’re unsure about buying the new FCAR weapon skin, you can check it out below in a detailed video uploaded by The Finals Skin Showcase:
