We'll see when the player count stables out. It peaked at 31.5k yesterday. That's initial season hype. I hope the season ends up with a stable 20k so we can have parallel ranked next season. Don't think we can with the 14k average we normally have. And yes, I know they're making changes to cashout.
Same! it was cool buying it with the multibucks i earned from the previous season. but im still happy to support the devs. this game is so much better than the copypasta CoD of the year
tbf they still give you the free multibucks through out the season that alot of games dont so i can see why they'd do that for the free to play game so they can make a profit, it is a business and you dont NEED to buy skins to win so
You’re incredibly entitled it’s a free complete high quality game what’s the point of even saying ‘I honestly preferred when more things were free’ like no shot you thought that was a hot take lmao let the developers make money off the extra things they add to the game quit complaining you’ll wind up with a paid subscription game or advertisements before every lobby if you get 10 free skins every month Edit: go buy a skin just for saying that
You were actually always able to slide with defab pads out. You can also slide with heal beam. If you have auto sprint on with no delay, it’s very easy to do. Makes for crazy movement during mid fights. Reminiscent of Lucio from OW.
You can deflect winch claws with dual blades, by the way (edit) I lied, I got gaslit into believing this because a claw was BARELY out of range aimed directly at me, it looked just like a parry
I love the new season so far except for the addition of the winch claw. The utility is insane but if you're a light and they use the sa12, you literally die at full health with no counter play at all. A 1 second windup time would be helpful for people to try and dodge it since there is no counter play to it atm
First of all, I really really enjoy and love this masterpiece of a game, Embark studios does a great job, so much so this is my first input publicly online on any game EVER. With that being said I feel a few changes could improve the game. 1. Have a RANKED option for each game mode in the game. I would personally love Ranked Bank It or Ranked Powershift. It could all be under one Ranked button and you just select the game mode you’d prefer. I love all the game modes and would love to get (more) competitive across them all. 2. I feel like tournaments can be changed in an interesting way. It would be an extraordinary if, after finishing the first round of the tournament on say, MONACO - CASH OUT, the 2nd round can start as LAS VEGAS - BANK IT, and vice versa; so on so forth. 3. Add a “slicing” destruction mechanic for the sharp weapons, the destruction in the game is incredible and I’d love to see different kinds of ways it can happen.
I calculated, and for gold 4 you need 225 win points and let's say you get an average of 3 win points per tournament ( for casuals this number is still very optimistic) means u need to play 75 tournaments, most of the time casuals somehow make it to the second round or not so we'll average it and get 15 min per tournament, so the total time to reach gold is 1.500 min or 25 hours, and that is roughly 2 hours of play ti.e a day every 2 weeks, to much for little reward
I hate the wench claw. So broken that they essentially negated the downside of heavy’s melee weapons, that being their lack of range. Theres literally no counter from the wench claw aside from maybe a glitch trap. They can pull you through all types of shields
@@Spoonington nah GS is heaps faster. Its instant compared to the wait time of QM. I just have the muscle memory already down from CS and playing sword
The seldge hammer has a major weakness that it couldn't hit 2 or more players at the same time.. also the lh1 didn't need a buff.. I get hate messages all the time when I use the LH1 the fact they buffed it means I'm really going to get a lot of hate messages hahaha
With the thermal bore tip. The fire has a greater area than the explosive. So you can shoot a wall next to a goo wall to destroy both. For now draw, you can also swap to an item.
Winch was the first thing i unlocked. Disappointed in the Dual K’s dmg. New Players have to play 5 games of Terminal Attack before they can access the other game modes. Ooof.
0:24 Not only that, if you happen to be using KS23, you can instakill a full HP Light with a single shot and QM, without taking any damage! Such balance, amirite?
This is not the season for us light players it seems. I’ve been getting shit on more than usual. It’s deserved though, we got to run around with overpowered stun guns and ridiculous invisibility for too long. It’ll balance out eventually tho lol
Wait, wait, wait… you’re complaining about a pump action heavy shotgun that has projectiles NOT insta-killing a light, and requiring a QM on the the most mobile class in the game… lol I’m sorry I totally agree that the light should die from 1 shot and a qm.
@@JuiceManJ91no the problem is the Winch completely stops all your movement options, forces you into close range, and sets up the literal instakill. "Most mobile class" doesn't matter when it completely shuts down mobility.
@@BeefyCats I mean with the addition of the bow, I’d say lights are better than ever. The bow is so busted and I’ve been dying to it non stop lol they also buffed smoke grenades for whatever reason. They were already really strong. I won’t complain though cause I always carry smoke grenades anyway when I play light.
6:44 Of course they give a skin for the smg i main and i can't just buy it with multibucks now hahahahah. Well it's not a complete loss, i got the battle pass to grind out and i already got somewhere around 10 levels.
Im all for the ranked change what was the point in having tournament and ranked this change is a lot better for the game Them disguising tournament with the name "world tour" definitely made it more popular
6:35 You can't call something *FREE* when it requires purchase of the Battle Pass. Just because you get Multi Bucks from the Battle Pass does *NOT MAKE IT FREE!*
It is! The devs want to tweak it for a second for better balancing and it might be out in season 4 or we might get luckily and midway through season 3!
Agree, already is a tank with two shields and massive survivability. Basically bodies anything up close with charge and slam or sledgehammer. Now they give heavy an ability to negate height advantage from L and M, lame
@@rarelyaccepted its the same damage to the body, i tested it myself and also there is no headshot marker. you can aim to the head but you dont get the bonus
Melee weapons don't have headshot multipliers. The only melee weapon with a conditional damage increase is knife. Which is the backstab. The rest do standard damage regardless of body hit. Sword is 75 iirc. The charge attack is 135? Iirc. Its around there. Knife is 50. Knife backstab us 320. Dual blade is i think 50 per swing or slightly more? I haven't tested spear.
lights can insta delete heavies now. that and if they are in danger, they can evade dash which is the most unpredictable special, get in a good rat spot, and be back in the fight a lot quicker than the heavy whille their rpg is on cooldown. 3 seconds is actually huge in this game. also, they nerfed LMGs to marshmellow shooters so close range is their best go to which is helpful with the claw
The game being more focused on casual play is definitely for the better if they eant to get the player base to grow
that would be a true statement if new players didnt have to play 5 rounds of terminal attack before they can access anything in the game
@@Epitome_ Oh god do they have to? Sounds like a great way to make people quit before they even start
@Val-Yobget better
@Val-Yob cashout as ranked obviously isnt enough.
We'll see when the player count stables out. It peaked at 31.5k yesterday. That's initial season hype. I hope the season ends up with a stable 20k so we can have parallel ranked next season. Don't think we can with the 14k average we normally have. And yes, I know they're making changes to cashout.
1. The spear can boost the power shift platform in any direction
2. The spear can launch explosive and fire barrels into space with its spin attack
I also noticed that the spear's secondary attack just launches turrets far away, idk if that was intentional or a bug tho
I think spear spin attack can move even enemy revive statues
Be careful with anything that seems unintentional. Exploits result in bans by Embark.
@@Space-_-Bender
oh no, i'm so scared
@@L3tsFUN ok
So disappointed they removed jump pad momentum, it was a great feature
It’s muscle memory to slide before jump pad
It still works for me when I try it out in the range, sliding makes me go further.
he phrased it weird, they DECREASED forward momentum, not removed
@@rewindd oh, big bet
I knew something was strange I thought I was using it wrong 🤦🏾😂
No forward momentum from jump pads when sliding is a downgrade, mechanic is dumped down now
really? that sucks
I don't remember seeing that in patch notes so I wonder if it's unintentional
Yea they make it extremely hard to main melee on medium for no reason
@@Huskasinno way bro i’ve won like 5 tournaments already maining dual sword and have had 20+ kill games on power shift with the dual swords
@@onlinetoday840 tips for the double blades?
You can use the winch claw to pull enemy holograms after they have been hit with the defibrillator
Game changer.. pulling them away from the teammate that just revived them and they have low health is a huge win.
That sounds like a bug rather than a feature
@@RuSsHeR1a win is a win 🤷🏽♂️ abuse it before they fix it

Now we can have RogHog in the finals.
Finally i can play as Rhubarb from my favorite game Slobberwatch 2!!!!!
My friend said the same thing lol
Glitch trap has quickly become a favorite gadget especially when paired with the dual swords
the claw is great to counter the dual swords from meds too, it stops them from deflecting when in the stun animation, enough to end their misery
For the bow just witch to a gadget and back to cancel the weapon draw, its much faster than using meele
World tour is so chaotic compared to season 2 rank
In a good or bad way? I haven’t played WT yet
A larger player base of casuals makes it wild, cashout spawns have been tweaked too it seems.
@@POTNomad My friends an I have fun with it, we're playing casual so there’s that :D
Definitely feels more forgiving as a light player
It's amazing for casual play though
Thanks for the tips it answered a lot of questions especially sliding jump pad momentum
Great video super helpful tips. Thanks for keeping us up to date.
had some guy with the winch claw try and jump of the map and take me with him but failed and some guy on my team kept going " oh he tried"
You can deflect winch claws with dual blades, by the way
(edit) I lied, I got gaslit into believing this because a claw was BARELY out of range aimed directly at me, it looked just like a parry
2:21 Sliding into jump pads still works for me, that might've just been in that preview build they removed it.
The defib slide change was added at the end of season 2. Nice to have it back
I'm pretty sure it's always been a thing, I might be wrong though
@@leopard_hat1879 It was gone for a while
Winch claw looks like meta! Hyped for Season 3! The explosive mines with the pull is super clever.
1.grapple a medium or light and shoot them with the slug shotgun as heavy
2. Bow is fun.
Glitch trap is really useful to counter sword lights
I love the new season so far except for the addition of the winch claw. The utility is insane but if you're a light and they use the sa12, you literally die at full health with no counter play at all. A 1 second windup time would be helpful for people to try and dodge it since there is no counter play to it atm

#14 is actually from 2.8 update with melee changes
0:38 Nah, that’s a Roadhog moment right there, ain’t no way you thought of that. Never would have tried that one on my own.
dual katana reduce melle if you deflect
do the glitch traps hit invis lights you mentioned that it needs line of sight
Im so happy they focusing on a bigger player base but i Hope they wont forget competetives completely
I have about 7 new game plans after watching half of the video. Thank you. New here. Subbed
I calculated, and for gold 4 you need 225 win points and let's say you get an average of 3 win points per tournament ( for casuals this number is still very optimistic) means u need to play 75 tournaments, most of the time casuals somehow make it to the second round or not so we'll average it and get 15 min per tournament, so the total time to reach gold is 1.500 min or 25 hours, and that is roughly 2 hours of play ti.e a day every 2 weeks, to much for little reward
Heavys being capable of grappling enemies towards you
Me:Looks like Roadhog found me💀
0:40 roadhog hook, I have immense PTSD from thinking that.
You could always slide with the defibrillator out
0:57 evaporate the gas? :D
An alternative spear attack can move the cacheout!
is TA only ranked in game now ? and CO is not ?
I hate the wench claw. So broken that they essentially negated the downside of heavy’s melee weapons, that being their lack of range. Theres literally no counter from the wench claw aside from maybe a glitch trap. They can pull you through all types of shields
You can cancel the arrow. You just do the gadget swap cancel
Lol,in that case quick melee is just faster bro
@@Spoonington nah GS is heaps faster. Its instant compared to the wait time of QM. I just have the muscle memory already down from CS and playing sword
Another Tip: The glitch trap caused you to drop the key in Terminal Attack.
I love how I can grab the description key lol
Thanks ottr for the 35 edges ❤
I like combining wench claw and itigravity (or whatever it’s called)
hey ottr what brand of arm sleeve do you use? It looks really coolk
Helpfull tips, thanks man❤
Pretty sure you can swap equipment to cancel bow shots.
i've been sliding with defibs way before this patch
I havent played this game since it released is it still good? And will i have trouble getting the hang of it back?
Not really, not a huge learning curve same for me
Could several Heavies grab a single building with the claw ?
The seldge hammer has a major weakness that it couldn't hit 2 or more players at the same time.. also the lh1 didn't need a buff.. I get hate messages all the time when I use the LH1 the fact they buffed it means I'm really going to get a lot of hate messages hahaha
I had a guy winch claw me off thr top of a zip line last night and spear me to death. I was pissed, but it was a fire play by him
4:11 Who knew that playing Chivalry 2 would help me in The Finals?
As a light when I get winch clawed I just grapple in the same direction im being pulled but behind them and it fuckin launches me past em
Sliding into jump pads still gives more momentum. The patch notes lied.

what was the point in having tournament and ranked
this change is a lot better for the game
Them disguising tournament with the name "world tour" definitely made it more popular
Got to se his editing @4:20 hahaa
u can cancel bow draw with a weapon swap
How were you able to play with someone to demonstrate? I’ve been dying to play some private matches w friends 😢
you can pull someone who is respawning with the new heavy ability
Anyone experiencing really bad frame drops. Seems to be mostly on the new map? Had no issues before this new season.
I have like30fps lower than on season 2 probably because of the new map.
Winch claw goes theough shield.
World tour is a massive W, ranked terminal attack is an ever bigger L
anyone notice how the sniper has a bipod? is that something i havent seen yet or not in the game

Sneak peek BTS at 4:19
Any idea if ranked cashout will come back? Terminal attack is not fun at all and I had a team of 3, don’t wanna build a team of 5.
We hope…. We hope
It is! The devs want to tweak it for a second for better balancing and it might be out in season 4 or we might get luckily and midway through season 3!
Honestly Terminal Attack would be more balanced if the sites were closer together so you can defend both at once kinda like Bomb in R6S
They got rid of the octane crouch slide on the jump pad 😢
thats insane!
Tip #6 at 1:12 is the best tip.
Dual blades need a buff in especially on the deflection rate
extremely sad for jpad + slide boost(
so basically 34 tips for heavy winch claw😂
Anyone know if the APS cancels Bow?
It doesn't. Same with the grenade launcher.
who on earth thought giving heavy the winch claw was a good idea
And it shouldn't have been a specialist I think
Whats wrong with it? He fits it perfectly. He is the strongest. But also this specialisation is still…MEH….Mesh shield still way better

I have no idea why they gave the games strongest class a buff with a good new ability, but whatever
I think any class should be able to correctly time a melee while looke at the claw to be able to cancel it
roadhog hooks made it into another game gg
The winch is BUSTED
- Light Player
I'm a heavy main mostly.. charge n slam is way more OP lol
In PS5 i buy the S3 by multibucks not 10$
Summary winch claw is broken
Lets give the heavy class 4 more ways to instant ly kill a player whilst also taking the longest time to kill them in the game.
lights can insta delete heavies now. that and if they are in danger, they can evade dash which is the most unpredictable special, get in a good rat spot, and be back in the fight a lot quicker than the heavy whille their rpg is on cooldown. 3 seconds is actually huge in this game. also, they nerfed LMGs to marshmellow shooters so close range is their best go to which is helpful with the claw
Nah lol, Heavy got big nerf on their gun and All Light weapon buff hard that melt Heavy
U want nerf heavy? Then nerf those godly weapon Light have
