The BEST Light build for high-ranked play (In my opinion) | THE FINALS Season 5

[@zkharr]

Hey guys, I just wanted to pin this so I don't have to repeat myself in the replies. I appreciate all your comments whether they are positive or negative. I made this video to inspire people to try something different and the point I was trying to make is that you guys should be using what you think is best and most fun for you. You guys need to find YOUR meta load out and don't look at others. Love you guys ♥️

[@uniworkhorse]

Super cool to see your interpretation and examples of how you play the class! I wish more people were as articulate as you are explaining your thought process!

[@zkharr]

Thank you! ☺️

[@knopSponk]

I love seeing people play non meta loadouts and just doing what works for them

[@zkharr]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Bo_OnXbox]

I like how any load out can be good if used right. I have three light classes since that’s my main. I recently started using Grapple/LH1/Thermal/Stun/SmokeNade. I know it’s niche but I’ve been performing really well with this being able to take out invis lights and do massave damage to mediums and heavies.

[@zkharr]

That's great to hear. That's what it's all about, just finding stuff that works for you.

[@ravivandersalm4586]

The problem I have with tracking dart, as an opener at least, is that you are giving up the element of surprise. I can see it being pretty usefull once they start fleeing at the end of a fight. Anyway I play: Bow, because fun Grapple, to get to high ground/escape/trickshots Goo nade, to create high ground if there is none Thermal bore, to open up the objective so I can defend from high ground, or sometimes a long sideline Glitch nade, in case they dome shield when stealing.

[@gianniortolani4869]

Saw your setup a week ago and im obsessed, cus i can see the potential and i love the playstyle but i still have to get used to it. Great loadout and great video ❤🔥

[@zkharr]

Thank you so much for the kind words really...

[@PHANTOM-wz9el]

I started using thermal bore lol it’s really good, nice video ❤

[@LambSolo_]

You’ve convinced me to try swapping out my sonar for darts for a bit, been running a similar build for a while just with sonar instead as I felt it was more impactful, but my aim might’ve just been bad lol

[@zkharr]

Just don't use them against me 🫣😂

[@chrisd3925]

Sniper and dash is best light combo. It is a surprising close range monster when you include melee hits. Just gotta hit your shots. Hipfire is surprisingly accurate also. Just barrel stuff. Gives you long range viability, and can compete in close range When hipfiring strafe speed is so high

[@marcuscazzola4005]

First game I tried this loadout I got 12 kills and 0 death in quick cash. I like it. Tracking dart is so good, i never used it before.

[@lmao6272]

+hey man u have to try LH1 with red dot, grapple hook and any other util of your choice

[@Jake-pw9bd]

i would say people don't use thermal bore that much because you can supplement its value with barrels

[@alohame5582]

Looking at your loadout feels like you want to play a sniper but can't let go of the XP. Jokes aside, this is a pretty creative and surprisingly versatile loadout

[@NatteBadMuts]

great video this makes me want to try light again in the 'competitive' gamemodes

[@JurtJurt]

This was super informative gonna give this a try thanks!!!

[@dennisv1882]

You make tracking dart seem so intimidating Edit: is gateway worth it over any of these gadgets?

[@zkharr]

Yes the gateway is worth using if it works for you. I just never really got it to work with my play style.

[@ovadiahharris1036]

good stuff lad, imma try it out

[@alexpark1821]

Very interesting video. I really like how this makes the light class more scout and initiation focused. Thank you! If you are available, do you mind if I ask for videos like how to position yourself to optimize the use of these gadgets? It seems like to me the tracking dart is sometimes no use for situations where enemies comes out of ‘no where’ so I kinda wanna minimize that situation by good positioning

[@zkharr]

I'm in the process of making a discord server, I will make a community post on KZbin about it when it's ready. You can come along and join the server and I'll share some clips with you there if that helps. Also you can check out some of my live streams here on my channel in the meantime, there could be some examples there. Thank you for the lovely comment ♥️.

[@anchigaming]

always so interesting and satisfying to watch you play

[@lucaschacon7436]

Good content bro

[@pleewis]

I want my tracking dart back on medium! Used to combine it with recon sense that was really op. Wil definitively try this light build in WT!

[@josepho363]

Is it worth dropping stun for steal prevention, to use something else?

[@zkharr]

Depends what you are good with! I use my gun and the thermal bore for steal prevention.

[@ihcTactics]

I came into this video thinking I'd be watching something I already disagreed with, but lo and behold I actually think it's a solid loadout that serves a good singular focus: team play. All 3 of your gadgets are good for initiating in 1 way or another. I do think that with the current plug meta for fastest pacing/plugging that it's probably more important than tracking or thermal, but I also understand that you play solo queue and need to rely on yourself a bit more for everything. I think the LH1 may be a better pick as thermal bore pairs with it really well. Good video

[@M.Gamboa]

I love your pfp, did you make it or take it from somewere. Also, nice tracking, i've been aim training but still can't translate the trainer skill to in game lol, am so inconsistent

[@zkharr]

Thank you! I like your pfp too, Adventure Time is one of my favorite shows. To answer your question, no I did not make this art I'm nowhere near good enough xD. This was made by Zedotagger you can find his beautiful stuff here -> x.com/Zedotagger. I credited him on my Twitch but not yet here, my KZbin is still in very early stages lol. As for my aim don't get the wrong idea, only my best clips go on KZbin, I'm pretty inconsistent myself xD

[@Drip-Soup373]

What are your thoughts on gateway?

[@zkharr]

To be honest I don't really like it. I understand that it's used to plug the cash out quicker which can be really good but it's not necessary to win games. For movement I prefer dash and I solo queue so team movement with it doesn't really happen and it doesn't beat a jump pad or zipline which is a very common pick by people. When I tried the gateway, it would stay unused for like 85% of the match and I don't like that.

[@JeremyRuiz805]

Love it when people showcase new loadouts ❤️ I would totally use this.

[@psilo5623]

No portal nades is really surprising, considering its objectively hands down light's best gadget with any shred of a coordinated team. Though you don't play like most lights. Even pro scene lights use cloak, TP nade, stun gun pretty much as must picks - these are definitely very good and not "Outdated S1" gadgets. Cool to see another way to play light, and disagreements about what is meta.

[@zkharr]

You're right, they can be good in a coordinated team but I forgot to add that I always solo queue ranked. I also don't like them too much since I wouldn't use them as a movement option because I just play so well with the dash already and having a whole gadget just to run the vault to cash out quicker is just not worth it for me. I tried the gadget and it just wasn't for me at all xD

[@zkharr]

Also Yes those meta builds are actually all good picks, I feel anyone can do great with any of the gadgets. I was hoping to inspire some people to try off-meta stuff too because who knows what you might be good with till you try it. I'm also very stubborn I never use meta stuff in games I always try to prove myself like 'No! I will do it on my terms!!' and then cripple myself xD that's just the way I am lol

[@dannyman5751]

ayyy thats me in the beginning

[@CaesarCJ15]

I absolutely hate the detected effect, just completely obscures the enemy's body and makes it impossible to track during fights, if nobody brings it the better

[@thandodube9290]

Give us some medium builds!!

[@UmarUmar-xl3zq]

0:45 barely does any damage, gets 0 kills, teammate is dead: "its crazy how much of a menace you can be" 🤣

[@ach9108]

Teammate rushed alone and died, he kept the high ground with his other teammate and kept applying pressure so the enemies wasn't able to 3v2 them. And then when they started to back off he jumped to res. If you don't understand this, then don't start to criticize his decisions.

[@Yohruu]

Stun gun literally isnt bad. Imagine bro gets the pick on you because you were a second late on noticing him and his team is following behind and he invis' back out. Honestly think the only bad light gadget is flash

[@Y3ZFLY]

Bro not including the gateway is crazy

[@scarab8870]

Thanks imma try this out later, wish me luck😅

[@zkharr]

Good luck! ☺️

[@benishoodmarketing]

high ranked play doesnt exist

[@710noot]

try ranked this is incredibly low brain power to use nice aim tho

[@zkharr]

But this is ranked..😞 95% of my all my clips are from plat - diamond lobbies with a sprinkle of ruby players.

[@sugi_YT]

@@zkharr what you're describing isn't high elo. literally anyone who understands the game at a decent level can hit diamond. This build really isnt good, you lack team movement without gateway, you lack any form of stealth potential by not going cloak, you lack any form of anti steal prevention in the form of stun gun. Like theres plenty wrong with this build man, well edited and designed and thought out content but you might want to look at what the true high elo teams and players are using

[@le_elven]

@@sugi_YT 💯

[@zkharr]

I'm sorry if I made the impression that this load out is the new 'meta' to get into the top 500 or something. I only play for like 3hrs 2-3 days a week I don't have time nor a team to get up that high elo to prove that this could work up there. I also don't look at other KZbinrs or streams or top people to see how they play because it's more fun and interesting to find out yourself what you like. If I had a load out like the one you are saying I'd be stuck in gold and not having fun on top of that because I don't enjoy those gadgets and they don't fit how I position myself and my play style. I'm asking you to please be open-minded and realise that not everyone plays this game to be the best but just for plain old fun.
