THE FINALS: 50 Tips Every Heavy Needs To Know

[@bobrobrules]

Bonus: The dome shield blocks enemy healing beams.

[@xTypho]

is that for real?

[@planez7504]

Just found this out the hard way

[@iDrKx]

​@xTypho yep looks like it blocks line of sight for teammate abilities unless the medium steps in or shield is broken is really good

[@blazefa.]

And defibs.

[@NoxisYT]

Recommended or not, the charge is probably the most fun ability in the game. Nothing is more satisfying doing a massive Hulk slam from the top of a skyscraper

[@SlawBunnies909]

Surprised you didn't mention that heavy can melee while they have their mesh shield up. I found that out the other day. It saved my life against a light trying to kill me.

[@laseredkoala2595]

Wow ! Melee using Hammer or your elbow ?

[@triadwarfare]

Now Light players may start complaining as they are the most off meta class in the game and may actually cause Embark (Dice 2.0) to remove this ability

[@PeterPq]

6:32 I'm pretty sure the specialization button (the one you start the Charge and Slam with) can also cancel it WITHOUT triggering the slam, which is quicker, but you'll obviously miss the extra damage from the slam. Just a tactical option

[@CQBlitz0]

Recently I’ve noticed that the M60 is sneakily strong at close to mid range, and the recoil is easy to control. The high magazine gives you the ability to miss some shots, and it’s great for a suppressive fire support role while your teammates push. Paired with the dome shield, rpg, and c4, the M60 is deadly in the right hands. I’ve been able to drop 20-kill quick cash games with it.

[@redokie6810]

I just started playing and got 25 kills and 10 deaths with heavy using the M60 lmao. Didn’t feel like a bad weapon to me.

[@MisterMsky]

@@redokie6810 its a old video

[@CQBlitz0]

@@redokie6810 the M60 certainly got some buffs, it’s a very good weapon as of today. I prefer shotguns like the KS-23 or the sledgehammer now, but the M60 has a place in my heart

[@theflyingtoaster7414]

Flamethrower Tips. bring mines. you can throw and detonate a mine by quickly swapping to flamethrower. You can crouch and fire over your Barricade and still hit the enemy with a flamethrower, and the reach of the flamethrower is just a tiny bit farther than the radius of a C4 blast. allowing for safer, easy detonation of personal or enemy explosives.

[@Jestersage]

Some of these (especially the mines, but especially point 15) is more suitable as Medium, seeing Medium have more mines to carry - and have no breach charge like heavy (c4) or light (Breach charge) Point 24/45: Flamethrower users should especially use this point, since you still do DoT with shield up. Send a few flames, shield up - enemy psychology will keep trying to damage you through the shield I think most importantly for Heavy is to think demolition over movement. Better to bring the Bank down to the lowest floor as soon as possible, since climbing can be more difficult as heavy. For me, the most important question is: How do I play with 2x Light in Ranked?

[@TinyEle]

I also hold on light so its 3x light, normally gets them to switch and then i also switch and get a meta comp out of it.

[@username_tim.my...]

​@@TinyEle thats the only tip in video or comments I didn't figure out already. Thank you.

[@madwelek]

charge slam can be cancelled just by pressing specialization key again, jumping can be risky in some situation

[@CodyLifeofTruth]

thanks bro i am learning heavy. Love that you switched to finals.. apex was getting so stale, and i only played the game for a year.

[@Mind69420]

You can cancel the heavy charge by pressing the same button you initiated it with instead of the jump key as recommended here 6:31

[@okctrl]

Can be better but normally that slam is nice, it gives trackable knockback and its free damage.

[@Mike-c9j]

Small tip for all the shotties - since there’s no headshot benefit, I like aiming lower at the belly vs chest where there is more surface area, I.e don’t want to throw pellets over the shoulders or over the head. Normally a headshot bonus negates the lost damage from those missed pellets when aiming high chest but not in this game.

[@necron7436]

You can cancel the charge run by tapping the charge key again, you don't necesserarily need to press jump to cancel it but it is recommended since you're utilizing every bit of the special ability before you run out.

[@cyanide7389]

A bit off topic, but some potential weapons I'd like to see added include guns like the Spas-12, another bullpup AR like the AUG/F90/L85/Malyuk/Tavor/etc, the P90, and something chambered in.50 BMG. Maybe a sniper rifle like the Barrett or GM6 lynx, or maybe a single shot .50 like the Barrett model 99, or even a machine gun like the M2 browning. And on that note, maybe some WW1 & WW2 weapons as well.

[@diegofel99]

Great video, something out of the video I noticed. When you said about “liking the video” I realized that the like button gets illuminated.That’s such a cool thing from YT

[@martingordon2032]

I love using the heavy, my ranked build is a flamer load out. Charge n Slam, Flamethrower, Pyro mine, and pyro grenade, and the RPG. Great for close quarter combat and for area denial.

[@aspektautomatik3122]

noob

[@Tmancr]

I feel like I am the only one that likes using the grenade launcher... I have it up to blue skin I have found it works great with charge n slam for covering close range fights and dome shield to make up for no mesh shield. Then I just run rpg and c4.

[@vinhthinhnguyen1087]

The mine on the statue is not really annoying like before cause now when you are revived, you have like 1s of invincible, if your teammates see the mine on your statue but didn't touch it, then just revive and the mine will just fall off

[@miguelcuevas7224]

Also, if you dont know, you can cancel a reload in general if you just hit whatever button you have binded to your weapon while its out and youre reloading

[@VeeTalksStuff]

for a quicker charge/slam cancel, just click Q again to insta-stop if needed.

[@KingOfCreampies]

“Shoot the goo” It ain’t November I’m way ahead of ya

[@KwanFung]

4:33 why is the green barrel better, and why do you need to place c4 at the bottom for the red barrel?

[@alfredo464]

tldr: It kills, controls space, and does damage over time, whereas red just kills. Green barrel is easier to aim straight, As you can see at 4:34 you hold/launch it parallel to Y axis. If you launch it straight on the floor, it should roll straight, if you launch it at an angle it should turn predictably. The red one you hold/launch parallel to z axis, so when it starts leaking/propelling itself, its trajectory spins and becomes unpredictable. Meaning the red one is only really viable at short range. The red one also explodes kind of randomly, like you'll launch it at the ceiling to open a hole, but it bounces back down and explodes on your head. So you usually only want to use it when you're going to detonate the c4 right away, again better for short range. On the other hand the green one can be thrown more accurately so it's more versatile. Red has advantage of speed and damage. The damage advantage doesn't matter when it kills anyway, and the speed advantage is usually not worth the poor aim. Red is good when there are already people nearby, ie you're in the middle of a fight. When you're holding red it's super easy to react and instakill someone who gets the jump on you. If we just team respawned and are pushing a cashout, green is better for preparation. It kills, controls space, and does damage over time, whereas red just kills. Not sure about why c4 should be at the bottom. In real physics that would make the balance better for aiming, but idk if attaching c4 on one side actually unevenly distributes weight on the barrel. If anything, putting it on the bottom means it reaches the opponent marginally faster.

[@SpannerManna]

What about putting 2 c4's and 2 explosive mines on the canisters ? Moar DMG?​@@alfredo464

[@SlawBunnies909]

@@goochipoochie That's just ranked then. Normal play is not that way. Besides, it's really not hard to get 20+ kills when you play against bad people. I can nearly drop anywhere from 10-20 kills a game, even with randoms. You can be damn sure I'm dropping that many playing with an actual team.

[@TurboSwag3000]

I feel like the heavy shotgun reload cancel takes just as long as letting the animation play out

[@huuuuuumpy]

It's def faster if you don't fuck up the combo. I won't be surprised to see it patched out but it's an honest skill expression. The heavy shotty is already strong without the barrel change cancel. You basically get to choose between more DPS or more movement by sliding around during the barrel change.

[@TurboSwag3000]

Question: Does the Flamethrower penetrate Mesh Shield or the Dome shield? Can't tell if I'm trippin

[@ikillbumsoften]

I know with the mesh you wont block the hazard so if they kind of have an angle on the edges youll still burn, just slower lol

[@MrMetra101]

It does reduced damage through shields

[@forgeofknowledge9309]

0:47 The last two shots had a wider spread lol

[@Garoth4582]

It's because he had stepped back some. The farther the distance the more it will spread.

[@Adam-bq6ic]

ya because he was further away you absolute genius

[@chaddymack819]

I have seen a couple of content creators post the same incorrect info with the SA1216 recoil spread. Contrary to popular belief using ADS full auto with the shotgun does reduce recoil pattern, while hipfiring will drift slightly up and to the left. Anyone can test in the firing range from about 10m from a wall.

[@kinzietheostrichman]

He didn't say anything about recoil he said pellet spread. It does reduce recoil if you ads, but just gamer and hip fire bozo

[@rotian5723]

this video was before the nerf

[@rotian5723]

it was once op as shit

[@donovanjoseph737]

Okay a few things I wanna say: 1. Telling people constantly how to get “Free kills” a lot is going to set the mindset for new players watching these videos that they should be looking for eliminations and not the objective. New players are gonna search for tip videos like this a lot, and it would be great to set them on the right path to being a great teammate rather than just another F2P light main with a deathwish who only sees red. 2. You didn’t give any tips for any of the other weapons besides the SA1216 and one sledgehammer tip. (For example, the Lewis gun shoots straight up with no horizontal recoil for the first ten rounds or so rounds, meaning short bursts is recommended for medium range). I understand that the heavy doesn’t have that many great options for weapons right now and a lot of them underperform, but the flamethrower and MG32 definitely have their uses. The suppressive capability of the M60 in drawn out fights is vastly under appreciated as well. 3. you can press the button to start the charge again to cancel it immediately. It’s good to surprise enemies by smashing through a wall and already be able to shoot them.
