The Finals players claim RPG-7 nerfs went way too far with self-damage Embark StudiosThe Finals players think developer Embark Studios may have gone overboard when nerfing RPG\u2019s self-damage following the 1.5.0 patch. In The Finals, players can take on three unique roles during a match: the Light, the Medium, or the Heavy. Many players who like taking hits and breaking the environments tend to gravitate towards the Heavy. Heavy build players have plenty of hard-hitting tools at their disposal, and they are the only class with access to the explosive RPG-7 and C4 gadgets. However, some Heavy mains think that developer Embark Studios may have gone a bit too far when nerfing the RPG-7 in patch 1.5.0, especially regarding self-damge. The Finals players think RPG-7 self-damage is too high A post on The Finals subreddit sparked a debate among the community after one player said, \u201cRPG max damage is 140. Max self-damage is 252. I think this is overturned\u2026\u201d The OP explained, \u201cThis is a lot more than the 1.3x multiplier mentioned in the balancing patch\u2026I like what they\u2019re going for with penalizing \u2018suicide bombing\u2019 but this is a bit much.\u201d One-shot \u2018suicide bombing\u2019 strategies were popular before the RPG-7 and C4 nerfs in the most recent patch, which contributed to some fans claiming the game had a Heavy-centric meta. Some fans blamed Light build mains for the RPG nerfs. \u201cThey ruined RPG imho, should be a weapon that does a sh*t ton of dmg but nah Lights going to cry cause they can\u2019t sneak up and two-shot shotgun you and sneak away,\u201d one player said. Still, many pushed back against that sentiment and noted that they believed the RPG should be a destruction tool first and foremost. \u201cDo people not realize the RPG is just supposed to be a ranged destruction tool and not a primary weapon,\u201d asked one fan. \u201cIts purpose is to blow a hole in a building or bring down a structure with precise aim. The good damage is just icing on the cake.\u201d While the RPG is no longer a one-shot kill following patch 1.5.0, it still has plenty of utility in The Finals and brings enemies to nearly 0 HP. For now, Heavy mains will have to adapt to the new damage output.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
