THE FINALS Melee Build is Terrifying! (Open Beta)

THE FINALS is back - this time in a Open Beta. I take out the bat to bonk the competition. The melee only builds are quite satisfying.

Figured it was good to showcase some re-learning of the game since the last beta was so long ago. Some really good ranked games on the way if you are interested! Also, Happy Halloween! 🎃

[@gkcarpenter98]

Happy Halloween!

[@HateHater2205]

Love the intensity and pacing of this game. With a few balance changes, more game modes and a new map by full launch I’m sure this game will live on for a long time! Especially with it’s esports potential

[@Blujay64]

I never even thought about eSports potential, but this game is perfect for it!

[@Lynch2507]

if they go into esports, leas that means we get actual commentators

[@kameronstahr3707]

@@druid5996solos wouldn’t work, it’s a team game with team based abilities. Deathmatch is iffy, since it takes away from the core objective of the game. I would prefer this game not to have a deathmatch mode tbh

[@seeknine90]

woah a good engine, good maps, good balance, good movement, good servers.... an actual good game in 2023 with hard work put into it

[@kalpa_sama]

That too not a full release *_*

[@tymondcrawford6967]

OG battlefield devs are the goats

[@aly8950]

Finally!

thoughts on mw3 pls

[@samigo2000]

What are you talking about? 2023 is probably one of the best years in terms of released games

[@22hyago22]

2:52 "I have a BATMAN"

[@TheGoobMeista]

4:37 - 4:44 is one of the best "curiosity killed the cat" type of moments I've ever seen lmfao.

[@sisco8225]

I don't think i have seen a game in a long time that looks this fun. (Edit: I have now played the Beta and can confirm it was as fun as i thought it looked, great game! looking forward to the full release)

[@Trazor2k0]

It's so damn fun, been addicted to it since the beta opened. 10000% recommend it

[@PO3official]

Love the dynamic with stone and on1c

[@benstricker8555]

Never thought I’d see the day Aculite is hitting dingers

[@Ryl0o]

hitting some big BONKS!

[@macsiebert8503]

fuckin bombs bro 3 min in i’m subbing for him

[@AmazonEnforcer]

Cuck mentality

[@Iamdanlmao]

Woah, he's the Bat-man

[@protoni6996]

😂👍 i really want that in game, but don't know if light is best dude who has it 🤔 maybe medium is better

[@protoni6996]

"what is this" and keep hitting c4 with bat was hilarious 😂 I'm waiting bus and look this same time and start laugh so hard and here is random people near me 😂

[@CheeseDog99]

I'm really loving this game. Can't wait for full release

[@Evolved_Knightz96]

Why did they get rid of the old lunge animation? It looked so much better!

[@evanolmstead7959]

Love to watch this game, it's always intense and easy to follow. Also, bat go bonk

[@capnhappy]

Maaaan I wasn't expecting a spellbreak shout-out in your vids, so glad the community edition exists on PC

[@Blueissuperior]

I can not wait for thie bat skin to come back to the full release

[@aalann19]

4:30 no way best clip ever iv'e seen 😂

[@johncapewell7520]

7:18 the way someone shouted "Help meh" 😂😂😂

[@EnycmaPie]

4:38 "What's this?" Bonks C4 with a baseball bat.

[@view9936]

That guy depositing at the end and shifting was sick.

[@Roonco12]

The destruction is very Bad Company 2. Love it. The developers behind this were the best parts of battlefield, clearly.

[@sniclops15]

Running Cloak and Dagger gives me so much TF2 Spy vibes I freaking love it 😂

[@PrimalNomad]

Get me up, get me down..... Get me all around 😂

[@siddharthpandian7289]

🔥🔥cant wait for the game to drop🔥🔥 thanks for all the amazing content

[@cr0wvid19_3]

Finally another melee enjoyer. Highly recommend running dash with the sword.

[@Dealman15]

You say that as if they're hard to come by, they're in almost every match because of how overpowered it is. You don't even have to aim, you just charge people and swing - hardly takes any skill compared to any of the other weapons. The game is great and has a lot of potential, but the balance is rather bad at the moment - but that's what betas are for.

[@tuffbadgergaming4788]

its mele you counter it with distance and shoot its not that hard trust happens al the time @@Dealman15

[@Idontlikeweirdppl]

Sword with dash/invis was incredibly fun to play too

[@GladisSnwbrd]

I'm loving watching every creators adventures on this game. ❤ Particularly your perspective.... P.s. get fug in!

[@bama-_-2511]

are you gonna try the new apex character conduit?

[@1bluecat962]

Some bat gameplay for Halloween? Nice :)

[@Acusumano25]

"what's this?" *bonk* *BOOM*

[@JKingSniper]

Ah Spellbreak. Was so fun, too bad it shut down

[@highsenbergsen8813]

the dash ablity is perfect for this playstyle

[@VaLULrant]

Evasive Dash is way better than grapple and makes you an absolute terror in gun fights. I'm unhittable in 95% of situations.

[@ultimsing]

4:38 I laughed so hard

[@akitahvanainen]

"Yeah I have a bat man" 😂

[@ironsapper1016]

The mobility and damage for this loadout is OP AF!

[@yawnMan8]

how’d you get that skin i want it so bad 😭😭

[@yasar_102]

I love the assthetic of this game so much. The menu, the pastel color the whole forza horizon artstyle.

[@kennyb123]

I ASSume it ASSaults your senses?

[@Sinsanatis]

oh yeah its very forza. one of the first things i noticed when playing the previous beta

[@izak_fouad]

Super Fun gameplay 😌👌. @Aculite , you should upload the ranked win from the stream , that game was awesome .

[@stixzl3746]

what are peoples thoughts on footstep audio on this game? I Think footsteps are too quiet but if they are louder then running up on someone with a melee weapon is much harder. Curious what the community thinks

[@saverorestuwatari8420]

It's not too quiet because each build are unique. The bigger the build the louder the footsteps sound. Especially light build gets more quiter with certain ability

[@SpamRambe]

​@@saverorestuwatari8420that ability being?

[@saverorestuwatari8420]

@@SpamRambe the cloacking device ability from the light build. It reduce the footsteps sound even more.

[@SpamRambe]

@@saverorestuwatari8420 i really dont think thats the case having played with cloak a bunch already do you have a source for this information?

[@saverorestuwatari8420]

@@SpamRambe well i experienced it last night where somehow using cloak makes you quieter. there's also people who are literally make no sound using cloaking ability on light build. until someone DID made an in-depth game mechanic on footstep sound and any other techs, i'm gonna stick with my opinion for now based on 3 days gameplay experiences.

[@brAckAttackGaming]

You’re good with the hook I’d keep that over dash for that build

[@matthewmoon6275]

Babe, wake up Aculite just posted

[@TheMobtanker]

this bonk sound is too funny

[@shepe7718]

Swords insane range + charge attacks dash + evasive dash + slide is so op

[@nihjt8602]

Yes yes!! More more more.. finals!!

[@chaos2810]

This is absolute bonk-ers

[@keldrith1]

I tried to main this build but replace the grapple with dash, and it's SUPER GOOD in this game mode. But in the regular ranked game mode (Cashout) it's absolute trash because so many of the fights happen from a long range.

[@Backfisch5927]

„Um... I-I don't even know where to start with you. I mean, do you even know who you're talkin' to? D-Do you have any idea, any idea who I am? Basically - kind of a big deal! Ya' listenin'? OK. Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and brotha'- I hurt people. I'm a force a' nature! If you were from where I was from, you'd be fuckin' dead!"

[@foxik992]

Finally got to play this game, it's great!

[@Quatuux]

You need to use the stun gun to have the ultimate melee build.

[@EarlOfLemongrabb]

0:48 this is precisely why the melee is OP in Finals wtf?

[@slowrolla3898]

meleeing the c4 was crazy xD

[@Idavori]

Its op with evasive movements

[@controlpain9314]

Man said build like he ain't just equip a hook and a bat and start trolling lol.

[@JakeIsEk]

Aculite IS Batman

[@Einstein14]

The devs must have worked so freakin hard and guess what it paid off!

[@ikugan]

the other mode that you have to unlock the vault and bank it , it should give money overtime and reward the time that you are holding it not just steal it at the end. hope they change that in the future

[@almightygod87]

This feels like modern day TF2 and I love it!!

[@CallumB94007]

The melee weapons are fantastic, that or the flamethrower 😈

[@swimothy]

BONK!

[@ruinknightsir]

Melee only without invis is the best playstyle

[@germanitxu]

I tried this game. It's too fast for me. I would need many many hours to get used to it. But it's incredible to watch people play it. To me it feels like early pubg where I would just watch hours and hours of it until I finally decided to play it more

[@Oebelysk]

I definitely recommend just playing quick cash then. The rounds are short and it's a lot more focused, not nearly as chaotic as bank it or the tournament gamemode

[@kameronstahr3707]

I learned it fully after just 5 hours solo, taught my buddies how to play (and be good) in 4. Really not bad in comparison to most games

[@cindermelvin4950]

What is the range on that bat

[@mblive21]

God I want that Urban Operative Helmet so bad but it's nowhere to be found.

[@kasymzairov8168]

I miss spellbreak :c

[@Baconbills]

dude i cant change my name from businessscore how did you do it lol

[@aly8950]

Now this is my kind of game

[@dylanwhite25]

Would you ever do a gaming tour of your pc and monitor and stuff like that id love to see that

[@affansyed5009]

Damn bro your skills and frames are buttery smooth! What are your specs btw!?

[@prestonswayze2483]

Ya buddy!

[@AiloSzn]

bro with evasive dash you can extend the hitbox of your right click if you time it right. (i dont know if this is intended)

[@JSSMVCJR2.1]

Ah, The Finals. Long time no see...

[@Goob13289]

The finals feels like one of those too good to be true type of games

[@Flyingredcactus]

Quality game play here

if talos priniple 2 wasn't coming out tomorrrow, i might have checked this beta for myself......

asking the same. Cant find it.

I believe it's from the closed beta battle pass

This game have no fall damage. Stonie: 😊

Dude i keep pressing r to relode while using the sword

[@GoudaYT]

what are your video settings?

[@idemonslayeri]

Do you think they will have more modes? If so, I’m definitely buying it then.

[@HazardSoul]

They should add new modes, give time they just Releas,

[@kittyjuicer]

its a free to play game :)

[@idemonslayeri]

@@kittyjuicer oml, thanks! That’s a bonus given the fact that XDefiant will also be free to play.

[@kittyjuicer]

@@idemonslayeri yeah im juiced about xdefiant too. fps players are going to be eating good next year!

[@idemonslayeri]

@@kittyjuicer Yeah. Although, in 'The Finals' I hope that they can fix the R3 glitch where you can’t use it after getting revived.

Such a cozy game

[@FleccaRobinson]

Stone acting like hes born yesterday

[@eswade1]

A pleasure as always, Aculite

Also, the dash is great with melee, but getting high ground is much harder

[@julio1148]

You can dash upward

So it looks like sticks and stones have way low ttk than firearms.

looks like Demoknight build from TF2

how do you gat the bat?

Winner winner chicken dinner

[@CheeseCurdCommunism]

Christ, so much damage and no sound. Melee being that op is a pretty rough gameplay mechanic

[@Gnashi]

man is playing as Shohei Ohtani. 🤣

[@KelevraSix]

This looks like it would be fun for a couple of weeks, just cause there's nothing else to play.

[@jeffpienta4532]

It has potential for a lot of people myself to include it in their regular games like apex, CSGO, etc

[@nihjt8602]

Much rather watch this or just about anything other than cod. Just burnt out on it.

[@OatesInQuotes]

Bonk

Is this game the next thing?
