NEW Season 5 WEAPONS First Impression And Review! Is It Worth The Hype? | THE FINALS

[@HazedNConfused]

Who else is enjoying the new season!?

[@chrisd3925]

The invis buff has really got me upset. It's miserable to play against and is such a crutch for bad players

[@MaximumSpiders]

Not me, cloak buff is kinda annoying but the killer for me is the respawn changes, quick cash is the only mode i play and they completely ruined it i literally cannot enjoy a single match of this mode anymore

[@koholiitt]

​​@@MaximumSpiders why? I'm enjoying a lot with that change it makes the game faster and more casual

[@user-ne9sd4ow1o]

Been loving the Shak 50!! Having really good games with it! The fire shotty is fun, but I struggle with it. Not much range

[@TwoLapz]

Awesome so far. Battle pass is not for me, but I love the new map and sponsors!

[@Vanguard-14]

Personally I think that the Cerberus needs a range buff. Just so that it isn’t always an up in your face hyper aggressive gun that makes you not be a team player.

[@phantomking5341]

And it doesn't burn goo

[@Ramon_N]

​@@phantomking5341 It does, but only with enemy goo

[@phantomking5341]

@Ramon_N but why not ALL goo

[@rastogi1225]

Ranged cerberus will just be another model, i think it needs more bullets so it can be what it was ment to be , in the face shotgun

[@aguyontheinternet3530]

​@@rastogi1225More bullets is not the answer, if it was the main form of the weapon would have to change too. It needs a tighter spread but not as tight as the models spread

[@demofredgaming9915]

If the Cerberus had a bit of a tighter spread, then it will be really good

[@01ECLIPSIFY10]

So like the Model?

[@Ramon_N]

​@@01ECLIPSIFY10not like model because it would turn it into a clone gun, but cerberous really need buffs❤

[@mershere]

@@01ECLIPSIFY10 just a little bit, so its effective range is a little higher, but not sniping people i think the effective range is where you can consistently inflict afterburn on the target, and it needs a little more range so you can do that

[@aguyontheinternet3530]

​@@01ECLIPSIFY10 Not as tight as the model, but the fact that you have to shove the gun into the opponents gullet just get a kill is bad for meduim class and the also just nerfed movement meduim randomly

[@GolemOfMagic]

@@demofredgaming9915 I think the spread is fine and honestly I think the gun is very balanced. It's a high skill=reward; with good accuracy the weapon can melt. It's a weapon you should play like the double barrel on Light pop in and out with it. I feel any buffs and it would be too good but any nerfs would make it useless. So imo I don't think they should touch it at all. Edit: I forgot to say; all though I say that I do think they should rework the fire aspect or buff it in some where so it can actually burn stuff more consistently and catch enemies on fire more consistently and maybe a little longer. It would have been nice if you could shoot a wall or floor and have anywhere you shoot leave fire there for like 2 seconds I think would be a great buff.

[@kevinaosei]

Heres my thoughts on cerberus. Make the pellet spread tighter, whtf even is that star shape spread no wonder 90% of them miss every shot. Make it so you get burn damage regardless of number of pellets. Even 1 will cause burn for 40 damage but it cannot stack and you cannot refresh the duration by shooting the person again. If its still not enough make the duration extend with additional shots Make it burn goo and gas with 1 shot. Its literally in the trailer

[@verify5610]

I might be in the minority here but I actually think the SHAK-50 is a bit underpowered compared to Heavy's other guns. The problem with the SHAK is that anything past about 20 meters or so absolutely destroys the DPS of the gun. Even in close range, I think the Lewis and M60 have a similar TTK, are way more forgiving, and do not have the two-shot-per-bullet jank (even in close range I often only hit one of the two). It just doesn't feel very good to use at the moment, at least personally. This is also coming from someone who plays almost exclusively in high RS lobbies.

[@Sharkie-0w0]

I'd love to see Cerberus get a little bit more utility. Being able to light your iwn goop would be nice. Don't think that'd fix it per se but it'd give it at least a little more of a support role to differentiate it.

[@ChickenWrap]

I think all the Cerberus really needs is a lower reload timer. That, or just tightening the spread a bit or into a pattern where the bullets will hit more often at a slightly longer range. Gun feels so fun to use but like... Man.

[@javonscott4777]

I agree I tried it it's fun but now that Lewis has a red dot I'm on the Lewis for now I prefer larger mag since I'm not crazy accurate but good enough

[@noameg5364]

I'm thinking maybe make it a middle ground between the lights sawed off and the model. I'm thinking increase spread, but also up damage to like 140+30 per shot on all pellets hit. that way it can 2 shot medium consistently at super close range, but unless it's down your throat 1 shotting lights and 2 shotting medium wouldn't be common. Maybe make each individual pellet do a tiny bit of fire damage? Hence rather than it being a binary yes/no to fire, it's a gradient of how much burn you deal?

[@nathanwood3814]

The visuals effects on this video are super clean man

[@aeroblizz1987]

I like the 93R now with red dot sight ❤

[@Drybread]

The Cerberus feels amazing to use but it's so inconsistent when it comes to applying the afterburn imo. I've had so many times where I've landed 3 full meatshots on a heavy at very close range and it doesn't apply the burn once, and I've had times where I've fired haphazardly at a medium 20 feet away and got the afterburn somehow. IDK if this is due to the bullet spread being very wide or what but it's an odd weapon. Also sometimes it just doesn't light goo or gas on fire which is annoying too. I feel like they could buff it a bit by tightening the spread a bit and making the afterburn more consistent to activate and it would be in an ok spot.

[@_Sloppyham]

It lights enemy goo on fire

[@marcussmith6010]

I watched this video, then moved to another video. I remembered you said “a like for my channel goes a long way” and I can’t leave you hanging doggggg♥️

[@chlebozerca]

If cerberus could have ability to set goo on fire it would be definition of close quarters combat. This way Cerberus would do an amazing job indoors but the model would still have its place. Because if Cerberus got a better spread there would be no place for the model.

[@NoahHoufek]

It does set goo on fire 99% sure

[@williambomber7028]

Personally, I'd like it if the Cerberus leaned more into its fire damage. For example, having an easier ignite or stackable damage.

[@GaryBishopBoggs-o6n]

They need to make the burn effect the the Cerberus output more damage. Or let it have a greater environmental effect.

[@ChoiiXMasters]

One major thing about the Cerberus that bugs me is the Spreadpattern, its a weird Twirl that makes it harder to hit the Majority of Shots

[@gumdev]

the cerberus feels like its made for the light class. its the same as the medium melee problem; the medium just doesn't have the movement, hitbox or inflated hp to close the gap in fights and reliably stay in SH1900/melee distance

[@Swiftsword101]

The Shak Shreds lights, by far the best gun of season 5

[@JakePidgeon-p8x]

Cerberus needs a damage buff. Should be able to 3 shot heavy without a DOT

[@Snowmaninadesert]

what if the cerberus dealt more damage against equipment, not shield though. thats one of the uses of dragon breath irl, could also help it in the game to buff it.

[@Panthero56]

What if holding down the sights for the Cerberus will charge a tighter pellet spread Similar to the peacekeeper from Apex

[@kevinaosei]

Adsing a 3 shot shotgun get outta here

[@FknMonte]

This is one of the best made informative vids I've seen! No rubbish and top tier editing, very pleasant to watch keep it up dude!

[@judearmstrong1260]

I do think they did a really good job at balancing the Shak. Its important to keepin mind that those damage and ttk numbers dont account for if you miss one of the bullets.

[@junkedgamers1952]

The first change I think the Cerberus needs in my opinion is the ability to burn goo. Currently in all of my testing it is not physically possible, even if you put all three shells into a stack of goo in the same spot or spread out. It doesn't have the Firepower to actually burn it. I understand in some situations that will actually be a benefit, but I feel like if you're trying to Market this weapon as having this benefit of being able to deal with some of the elemental effects, it needs to deal with all of them, not just gas only basically

[@genopurple]

For the Cerberus I would have the last shell be a slug shot so it has better range for the final shot. Still have to be agressive with the first two but the third gives you the ability to confirm kills easier.

[@Quest4Tube]

Love that freeze frame of the Cerberus

[@ShaoShaoMienshao]

A slightly tighter pellet spread angle (or a more uniform spread pattern) on the Cerberus will both artificially improve its effective range AND increase the average damage dealt by landing more direct pellets, and therefore igniting burn damage more consistently. 🔥 Everything it needs wrapped in one simple buff. No need to overthink it. 🍺

[@about99ninjas56]

Love having smokes on mediums. As a sheild main it helps so much to let them get closer and hopefully hit a mine and bonk them for getting near my vault. Also pulled off some clutch steals with the smoke with enemies right on top of me. The shotgun isn't good imo. Yes the faster reload is cool but having more ammo to finish a fight with the model is just better imo.

[@fb2556]

I think it would be interesting if there were different intensities of burning that you can inflict depending on the amount of hits you get on an opponent. Good way to buff it in a way that encourages skillful play

[@yxfox]

This season is overall really great. All the balance changes and new content make the game feel fresh. I can't wait to see how Eclipse Shade is gonna look on the Shak. My only complain is that the FAMAS is too strong compared to the other ARs, and Pike. They gotta make the others better, too many nerfs.

[@verify5610]

Definitely nerf the FAMAS instead of buffing the others. You should not be able to easily 1v1 heavies with the FAMAS.

[@yxfox]

@verify5610 yeah I actually agree, and the LH1 too. Lights are abusing that now instead of sword dash

[@AquaticWaffels]

Loved that body slam clip with the shak 50

[@saverorestuwatari8420]

My opinion to buff the cerberus 12Ga is to increase the fire DoT length or the damage because the main feature for this gun is the dragons breath round so it's a shame when the fire damage isn't that powerful to begin with.

[@override514]

If you have good cover the Cerberus can be very good because you can get a quick reload in

[@paint-697]

I honestly dont know how to buff the Cerberus either but I guess a tighter spread could help r? 🤔

[@HazedNConfused]

Maybe that could work 👍

[@GatlingHawk]

nah that would make a Model clone. longer fire damage would be good

[@_Sloppyham]

@@GatlingHawknot longer, more damage per tick. It’s already struggling to kill, and it’s a pretty piss poor gun if it can only effectively kill your enemy *after* you’re dead

[@Socrates526]

They could just slightly reduce the spread for the shotgun. Not so much that it makes its range comparable to the model but just enough so that you don't have to be point blank to get max value

[@conny3320]

This is not something that's in the game at this point, but when I saw that Cerberus doesn't guarantee ignition, I thought about some charged full burst attack that has better ignition and (maybe) range, but less damage (less that 2 shells). Idk if it will make it more wiable, but I think that it would be fun

[@gunbrick7414]

I think the cerberus and how the weapon is supposed to be used simply doesnt work on Medium. A short range, low capacity weapon that in most cases wont outright kill your opponent doesnt work on mediun, who has neither enough health or mobility. Even if the fire triggers and it can kill your opponent, the time it takes the fire to kill him youre helpless so most of the times you either lose or trade. Also compared to other weapons the cerberus has, what feels like no room for error which doesnt really help either.

[@LEMonsieurKill]

imo cerberus need more consistant pyro effect, i think its the best option to not make the gun overpowered

[@luisperez8325]

I'm loving the season and about the Cerberus, I don't think every weapon needs to be a competitive viable weapon, I think it's ok to just have a fun weapon.

[@sethnielson4694]

I just wanna know when they are going to add the 1911. The ingame model for it looks really nice and I think it would fit medium really well.

[@Exist64]

Both weapons looking much more viable than expected. Good additions to the meta.

[@kevinfortsch]

Ahhh the shak. another gun where when I use it, I can't land a shot or get a kill worth a damn. But I face another heavy with it and I feel like he puts 3 shots in me and I'm dead...

[@truek1ng7]

Maybe a small increase to burn damage with the shotgun

[@Sviper2010.]

Are you going to ever make a best controller settings video or do you have really good settings for controller since I just can't find good settings

[@theTOM-A-HAWK]

So hyped to grind out world tour for emerald LH1 AND Famas

[@sucettebleu346]

It not killing a heavy in 3 shots when the model comfortably does it and from a safe range and with 3 more shells to follow ir needed really kills this gun for me

[@jameswelch1705]

What if the spread on the Cerberus got tighter when you aim down sights, cause testing it the range the spread stays the same hipfiring or ads

[@HasturBeta]

My only complaint about the Shazam Fiddy rifle is that it says it has 20 rounds in the mag, but you fire 1 round at a wall...you see two holes. That means with 20 rounds, you make 40...holes.... and there is also only one barrel. Am I goin crazy here or does this not make sense

[@StriderPF]

Google duplex rounds

[@HasturBeta]

@@StriderPF Woah....what the fuck... these are nuts. They're literally the "yo dawg we heard you like bullets" meme in ammo form

[@GolemOfMagic]

I am about to starty top 500 grind again this season... So i do love this new season

[@KianFloppa]

w game but where is fsr 3.1.2 for non nvidia users for the game to run smoothly

[@HazedNConfused]

It needs to happen, playing this game on my laptop is freakin brutal.

[@adamflaherty9909]

The new shotgun is good with one build and one build only. Demat, jump pad, zipline and heavy agro. Falls short with anything else.

[@mikeormoab]

much pain 1:29 i had no idea it was you lmaoo big fan of the vids man

[@HazedNConfused]

Lol it was a fun match, ggs man!

[@senior_pilot3999]

They buffed my most beloved weapons - revolver and dual blades, just because of that this season is fire (quiet literally) I thought i'd use only cerberus (i really like pyro from tf2), but in action it seems really weak

[@SomeGuy-qd3li]

Imagine if you can reload while holding up mesh shield. Would be broken but so fun

[@PsychoChild]

Both new guns just feel like assist heavy weapons not enough to kill but one of your teammates to finish

[@spinnenente]

the cerberus is fine. the actual issue is the model having way too big effective range for a shotgun which makes it the only shotgun in the game to be effective outside the usual shotgun sub 10 meter range. imho the cerberus is just the double barrel but for medium and needs to be played in a similar way. also damn .5 secs against lights with the shak damn that is pretty much what the op fcar used to do. imho probably a nerf incoming because the matchup isn't fair heavy has more than twice lights hp.

[@Only1ChosenOne]

They need to make a Cerberus 3 headed dog skin for the new shotgun and a skin with 3 heads full of fire chained together 🐶🐶🐶🔥🔥🔥🙏

[@应玄]

I can't seem to find the relationship between my scores and the number of fans I get. They seem to be irregular. Does anyone know how the number of fans I get for each game is calculated?

[@neon_xd9766]

increas the cerberus burn damage thiss would't be overpowered but still give a decent change to the gun

[@Fungr-mf9]

What I do with the Cerberus is first I find a target launch some shots from 10 meters they usually run away after the second shot, reload, and then after that unload at close distance and if they are bunched together on a cashout I either use a poison or Frag Grenade to push them out of their hidey hole. Now I also like to use the Cerberus becuase it more or less counter gas mines and goo grenades, which are highly picked gadget for defense pair this with the dematerializer and you can catch a lot of huddling players off guard

[@piesaturn6282]

Frostbolt style👀

[@user-ne9sd4ow1o]

Fire shotty just needs a range buff imo

[@Ramon_N]

Cerberous really need buffs

[@salty3565]

Lewi will still be better IMO, cuz range and mag gives you more versatility and u can fight much longer. I mean damn, 20 bodyshots to kill heavy, and ONLY if u hit both bullets? Damn. Im not even talking about 25m range.

[@Hamberger94]

give cerberus the option to fire all three shots at once

[@addmen96]

Cerberus is light's double barrel without any of light's mobility AKA useless. What it needs is more range, better spread, consistency and let it actually clear gas and ignite goo Ash 12(call it by the real name) is....underwealming imo. Never have enough bullets and firing 2 bullets per shot makes it impossible to hipfire. I can do much better and consistent job with M60

[@eatright909]

For the cerbeus, stack the fire damage only twice, buff reload speed, and decrease number of pellets needed for spark. If not, then buff damage to 111 body damage, and buff reload speed

[@boooooooga]

Cerberus just needs to be more accurate and a quicker reload

[@MalenkoDRiker]

1 more bullet in the mag or a quicker reload for the Shak would be perfect. Definitely strong if you hit your shots but not OP. The Lewis is probably still better overall

[@atomichandgrenade6316]

Not really when it pairs so strongly with the many defensive gadgets heavy has or charge and slam

[@TylerL220]

The Cerberus definitely isn't the best gun, but I've gone like 17 and 10 with it

[@marvinminaya]

You put some much effort into this videos man we really appreciate you

[@HazedNConfused]

Thank you and I really appreciate your support! 🙏

[@ADR_JaiDe_N]

Cerberus should have less bullet damage and more burn damage and DoT imo .

[@misuh-misuh]

I really enjoy cerberus. Waiting for it to be nerfed just like any other medium's weapons 🙂

[@Wavedashnoir]

It won't get nerfed it's not good

[@smegma4999]

It’s a good season just sick of the medium kit nerfs.

[@JerrybearTV]

Loving the new season!

[@MidNightFreakOZ]

Any CL40 users here? Is the dmg radius reduced?

[@Deanchie]

Honestly i had the finlas on my laptop but well it is a laptop i5 was not a good experience and i rather get myself a better equipment in the future then suffering for no goddam reason... And also thw finals should remove visual recoil:)

[@killerfroggaming6397]

I don’t like the shak It doesn’t feel very heavy and I think it’s damage and mag size should be changed 29 damage per shot instead of 30 25 rounds in the mag instead of 20 This decreases the ttk slightly but increase damage per mag too 700 instead of 600 Now for the cerb I think the fire rate should be increased maybe 30 or 40 rpm faster I think the gun should do damage faster then the model but should lack the range and consistency of the model

[@Hi-there8D]

Tbh, I think the new spawn mechanic is ruining the quick cash mode. It felt too rng.

Besides two weapons and two gadget. This season is no difference then season 4 and i personally hate plug meta. Probably gonna just move on to marvel rival/ other games

[@tntcraze8157]

Ima be honest, instead of making it buckshot like, make it slugs instead, operating similarly to the KS-23

[@arcanum3882]

Horrible take

[@OmegaYurei]

Definitely should of been slugs

[@HazedNConfused]

That could be a solution, but I feel like it’ll encroach into the model territory rather than being a unique variant of a shotgun.

[@OmegaYurei]

Ngl i dont like either of them i feel like they were made to counter light rather than just nerfing light

The Cerberus just needs some number bumps and it would be a solid side grade to the model. Bumping its damage up to 112-115 range, tightening its spread up by 10-12% and boosting its tactical reload speeds by 20-25% (its like 2.5 seconds for the 1 shell variant and that feels wrong to me) all of these buffs would make the gun a staple medium weapon although it probably only needs 2/3 of those buffs to be viable
