20 More Tips and Game Mechanics in The Finals

[@ronin_fps]

If anyone is having trouble finding the config, you can also try going to your windows search bar and typing %appdata% and navigating to Discovery , then Saved, then Config, then Windows Client. If you cant see the config file, there’s a chance that it is being hidden by your computer settings. Go to file explorer options, then go to view, and then check the box that says show hidden files and folders. It should be said that if you do this, you will be shown a lot more files than normal, as this applies to all hidden files, and if you want to turn this off just uncheck the box.

Hey Ronin, isn't changing the files an exploit? It seems unfair that PC players can do something like this and console players can't. It also seems like of course an intentional way to try and balance cross play lobbies.

[@ronin_fps]

It’s disabling something that makes it so that your aim isn’t 1 to 1, and it only effects KBM - aim smoothing does not do anything at all to controller players. The devs don’t ban for doing this, and the only thing the setting you are disabling does in the first place is artificially try to smooth your aim out - hopefully that clears things up. Configs have historically only been exploits if they allow you to do something that is normally not humanly possible such as ridiculous macros or breaking the game engine - and in this case, you are actually disabling a config, so it’s the exact opposite of an exploit. It’s just turning a very buried setting off

[@jaivergutierrez9204]

useful tip that I learned playing as heavy (someone prob already made a vid about this idk), is that if you're running the barricade cover you can pick it up and place it back down even if it's been damaged. so, for example, if your barricade has been damaged to the point where there's basically no cover and just a plank left standing, pick it up and place it back down to have a fully reset barricade. I do this method on platform and its very useful, especially in fights where I'm still waiting on the barricade to finish its cool down to place another one.

the turning off mouse smoothing is a game changer. everyone who plays on mouse and keyboard please do this. great tips btw

[@boldisordorin9010]

What does it change

[@Hy1a_]

@@boldisordorin9010 mouse smoothing tries to remove the like shakiness in mouse input, but it adds latency and makes ur aim not 1 to 1 with ur mouse. Disabling it will improve latency and make aim 1 to 1

I hate when people defib someone getting revived normally when they're 2 pixels away from being revived.

[@clvr51]

That Odyssey track in the background is my favourite in the whole game, I greatly appreciated it's inclusion lol

[@surikovwithlove8168]

2:57 It's sad that someone might need this advice. I don't know what's going on in the heads of my random teammates who jump to steal the cashout while people are still up and fighting all around.

[@ronin_fps]

I mean… at least they’re playing the objective?? 😅 Maybe the randoms will learn how to play one day

[@boldisordorin9010]

It does make sense if the cashout is close to completed

[@bread7219]

I've pulled the craziest steals in the middle of a firefight...

[@xSTONYTARKx]

​@@bread7219 yeah me too, sometimes there's so much noise going on that people don't notice, or notice too late. And also like the other guy said, if you know it's almost done, you might as well just try. Worst case scenario you die, which at that point of a match is not a big deal anyway. Since new vaults will be spawning, and you'll have time to res or respawn before the vaults even reach a cashout.

[@Davenzoid]

Do you have an idea of what aim smoothing does? Can't believe something like that is hidden. Also, did NOT know goo slowed down the platform. Good tips!

[@ronin_fps]

It makes it so that you do not have completely raw input on your aim, and the game grid to “smooth” things out for you. Unfortunately this usually only makes your aim works and builds bad aiming habits

[@TheAndrewBen]

@@ronin_fps I am TERRIBLE at fps games but I play them all the time. My aim is terrible. Will smoothing be more beneficial in my case?

I jusr randomly did the dematerializer to the stairs today and instantly thought of harry potter lmao anyway i started using it as a technique to trap people coming up the stairs demat the floor and remat the floor trapping them inside 😂😂😂

[@silverwoomy0]

I wish I wasn't on vacation rn so I could try the aim setting sooner

[@TheEMEF]

For the last tip, inversely, is there a way to find out how the aim smoothing works? Is there any information on the acceleration curve they use? My aim feels so much better in this game than in others, is there a way to replicate it?

[@elgameoverpuntojpg]

2:55 The problem is that sometimes when the cashout is about to end, you don't have time to kill everybody so it's better to try to avoid enemies (easier if you're light since you got cloaking and dash) especially if that determines if you win or lose

[@ronin_fps]

yeah def, I'm more talking about the people who do this no matter what stage the cashout is at

[@theeakone]

#3 also u can hit it with elbow

[@FluffleFluffs]

I was going to ask as i play with controller SCUF one to be exact, does disabling the smoothing help controller players too or do you recommend another method or advice? I dont have issue with aiming per say but I'd for sure like to improve as sometimes it just feels wonky at times. Any and all help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Besides that really great video, very short and sweet and brought up stuff I didnt even think about. (Also thank goodness someone else said the defib thing because sheesh it happens way too often lol)

[@ronin_fps]

I’m fairly sure that aim smoothing only effects KBM, as controller aim kinda has that by default. If anything, aim smoothing makes mouse and keyboard aim feel more like controller than normal - I’d have to do more testing, but as mentioned previously, I don’t think controller is effected by this setting. I think aim labs supports controller, so just try to do tracking exercises if you want aim training applicable to the finals and games like apex, that’s the most advice I can give on controller aiming besides crosshair placement

[@chadharpicenjoyer8591]

I want ronin tip 💯😝 Also ur prev video helped keep cooking

[@GoonWitaSpoon]

Im new to the whole configs thing, how do i access whatever I need to input what u have?

[@ronin_fps]

The path to the file is in the description and then enter the file (it should open as a text doc) and paste the command that is also in the description into it. The game should run with the command from then on

[@GoonWitaSpoon]

[@travisbyrd1173]

@@GoonWitaSpoonactually in the same exact problem as you. I really need some help

[@ronin_fps]

Not your steam username, it should be your pc username. So whatever your pc account name is, that’s the one you use. Extra clarification if you need it - this is supposed to be found through file explorer, so if you go to C:\Users you should see your username show up

[@BigGuyBurrito]

The only one l wasn’t aware of was #5, what a janky little spot that the devs didn’t think of back when Demat wasn’t even close to being a thought

[@BigGuyBurrito]

and on #15, you could also dematerialize the suspensions and prevent them from being destroyed

[@_frixx_746]

Grab range with crouch got changed in a patch a while ago no?

[@ronin_fps]

To an extent, but in some cases it gives you a small bit of increased grab range as it would appear that the grab distance is based on the distance from your characters head. Not as large a bonus as before but there still is a (small) one that helps out in niche situations

[@ravn9168]
