Do Smoke Grenades Have A Place In THE FINALS?

- I haven't seen many people talk about the smoke grenades in THE FINALS. So I decided to change that with this video essay. I had some fun in this one trying to look for my style. If you like the 3D animated blocky look, let me know. I think its a little unfortunate that The Finals doesn't really have many high effort content creators that talk about balance. But I think there's a space for high effort, low quantity content about the finals. Let me know if you agree down below.
The Lit Class loadout I show off later in the video is nuts btw. The LH1 shuts down people that are standing still and can't see cause of the smoke grenade. I doubt I'm gonna be starting any subclass names that people actually use. But it would be nice to see the lit class shine, even if it doesn't keep that title. - เกม

This loadout is now a little outdated, instead of having the proximity mines, the light class has access to the sonar grenade and the tracking dart in the new season. Doesn't change a whole lot, just different recon utility to see through smokes.
How would you change this class for the new season?
I'm personally going to be swapping out the proximity sensor for the sonar grenade. The tracking dart may be viable if used with the thermal vision, but you'd have to sacrifice the pyro grenade. @@Flipendo64
@@gallantryharder I tried thermal vision and I don't like how there seems to be a range it stops working at. If I'm using a gadget slot just to see then I feel like I should be able to see people that are miles away
yeah its not my favorite, alot of people here seem to love it though, more power to them.@@Flipendo64
I've been apart of THE FINALS Community since CB2 and yet this is the best THE FINALS video I've ever seen...
yo whats up payske
yeah this shit is fuckin BALLIN
No you haven't, I never saw you in beta liar. You certainly didn't play with me
You can actually defend gas from fire by throwing smoke on the gas.
A good way to counter something like the flamethrower when defending.
I've seen that a bunch since posting the video and I'm a little sad I didn't talk about its defensive capabilities more. On top of protecting gas, you can also protect goo from being lit on fire.
@@gallantryharderdude brilliant
Holy shit, this video has no reason to be this good. Hats off to you. I cant believe your channel is this small.
Especially like the animation in the beginning. Keep up the great work:)
The smoke steal at 0:50 was so clean
6:06 NAHHH THAT RECOMENDATION WENT WILD 💀💀💀
I'm not sure I like what LH1 players are searching up lol
Finally, someone using the same light loadout. love how you called it Lit.
You have a really interesting and unique style. this needs more recognition, hope more people find you!
you put so much work into the blender animations yet you have so simple models. masterpiece
I enjoy the animating part alot more
i saw a loght sniper being batman and smoking himself before bolting out of there, it worked surprisingly well
Every single item in the game is viable, it just depends how you want to play.
This game doesn't have really big content creators that are the faces of the community, I hope you become one of them
LMAO THAT JOHN MULANEY IMPRESSION KILLED ME
Actually cinematic. 10/10 most underrated content creator
5:31 well this segment aged well. Really great video, a smoke strat I’ve seen is to run sniper smoke and thermal vision so they can smoke in a corner and use thermal to aggressively snipe in places that usually wouldn’t be safe to snipe in
this video made me laugh so much 😂
i’ve been using smokes for a while but i didn’t realize how much value i could get with them. thanks!
You can also use smoke to protect gas on your cash out.
That start was a very refreshing wind for these type of videos. Good job, keep up the original ideas like these! Subbed, liked, shared.
Great video, especially the impression at the end. It's hilarious.
Just discovered your channel, so happy to have a finals content creator who makes good content , keep it up!
An interesting detail about smokes is that it stops the name and health bar of you (and enemies!) from popping up, which can make target acquisition harder for your enemies (and you!)
This video style is very unique and very cool
This video is AMAZING cant wait for your channel to blow up, keep un the good content man its awsome
Fire video watched your first finals video. Subbed cuz the content is soo good brother
I also learned the other day that goo grenade plus smoke is AWESOME because when people put my goo on fire I can save my goo with smokes 😂 people are reccomending to do the same with Smoke and poison idk why I haven't thought of that but it's so obvious
Wow this was a great video! You earned yourself a sub, can't wait for what you make next!
Smokes + Thermal vision is super fun.
you can see through the smoke with vision (even if enemies arent highlighted)
First time coming across one of your videos. I gotta say, I really enjoy the animations and art style. Also great points! very well put together video, you got a new sub outta me!
Subbed, I like your little character l, gave personality to the video, first finals video ive watched with personality in it
Just ran this loadout w sonars and BOY were people not ready !!
Its practically the perfect light build
I'm so happy I found your channel, your videos are dope
Also if you throw a smoke grenade in a gas cloud you can't clear the gas with fire until the smoke is gone
This channel is hella underrated. Got a sub.
NAHH BRO you are underrated as knock, this is amazing
Amazing video! Hope you blow up! There were a bunch of funny lines in this, and I can see you being a huge youtuber one day.
So far my favorite Finals content creator.
This is an excellent format of video, very Mann's Guide-esque. Also the polygonal look is very unique.
The production quality is insane, ur extremely underrated dude keep it up!
Any video about tactical smoke catches my eye and this was a fun watch. Still not tried The Finals but looks dope AF! Thrown smokes are fun for cover game but personal preference is to use a smoke grenade launcher for actual kills. 😂 Direct hit Smoke kills were second to none for the SMoKe Lord! Thanks for the upload, mate!
Nah bro this is so underrated, 100% earned a sub!
Damn! the humor is just criminally good
Starting to parasocially connecting with ya
I watched through the whole video and only then noticed your follower count by the quality of the video I expected you to be like a huge Chanel but damn your video is amazing keep up the good work and you will be huge❤
Same. Leaving comment for Algod the god of algorithms
Lol, this was a good vid. When I was playing, I randomly wanted to try a different loadout because I had just been trying a little bit of everything at that point. So i went for silenced pistol, smokes and thermal. Which I ended up using for probably half of my playtime so far, I wanna try new weapons and stuff but I'm so stubborn about switch off
I think embarks wanted to make the fact that pyro gas and smoke cancel eachother out like rock paper scissors. However there’s no reason to pack them as grenades when u can just fine canisters or use the variety of shields and movement abilities
I never play light, but the few times I do it’s always using the LH1 so this build I’m disappointed I didn’t think of, pretty base, useful for both yourself and allies. So I’ll do my best to INTENTIONALLY play light and try this build out
My fav subclass is Medium with shield, zip, bounce and def. Really makes you feel like Batman
Super fun video man. Legit the first finals video I’ve seen this well scripted, keep it up.
Amazing video, you got yourself a new subscriber :)
Ok, john mulaney impression caught me off guard. Nice video!
Surprised you don't have at least 10k subs tbh. Solid vid!
Amazing video icl
Very fresh
As a smoke main, I use theme as a nice positional tool or even as a revive tool. It’s rare for me to ever die in the smoke due to placement
good work bud, you got a new sub
damn dude, this content is SICK. Just take my sub alrdy
Creative ass video the finals needs more like this.
i play light and i main smoke grenades with thermal vision. It takes some time to setup, but being able to see enemies through thick smoke with them having no clue where i am can be ridiculously op, it makes even 3v1s possible. It is so powerful im surprised to say that ive only ever seen one other person run it. Its also absolutely game changing in terms of stealing cashouts.
edit: after watching ill add i do also main the lh1. W video bro ♥
a guy I queue with has been using smokes a lot and so often the cashout we're attacking will time out and I'll get all sad and shit but then a couple seconds later I'm like "wait... when did we cap that?" great item
Great vid. Informative and funny 👌
This is probably the best the finals video made (atleast on the english community)
Bro you are so skilled with all these animations, how you have so less subs you deserve a lot more
The problem with the smoke for me is that it tends to just be completely see-through most of the time, not really doing much of anything. If they could fix that to be more consistent I could see it being more viable but I just don't see it at the moment. Good video though, keep it up!
great vid man
The first season I used thermal vision smoke and stun gun, it’s so damn fun, just hard to tell where gas is unless your right next to it or in it
Love the presentation, reminds me of FUNKe
That clip from 2:13 is CRAAAAZZZY! I had to rewind, watch it again, and comment.
I have the clip muted but you should have heard how hype voice chat was. Probably one of my favorites
Great vid👍
Please don't put me on the pin of shame :(
I truly hope they make smoke available to all classes not just lights!
400 subs?.? Crazy quality man
Great vid thanks for the info
I dont even play this game but the vid was so well made I had to watch it all!
This is like funke, but the finals (this is a compliment, good video 👍)
I actually enjoyed this video bless the algorithm for showing me this
This video rules! High Quality content like yours is what the community NEEDS to thrive.
Quick Tip: For the dagger, you can quick melee after backstabbing a heavy and it'll kill em outright, no need to wait for the backstab animation to finish.
huge tip, thank you yo
Best actual smoke loadout is Camo+Lh1+THERMAL VISION+smokes and the other one was the motion sensor but it got moved
I cannot stress enough how important the thermal vision is
subscribed for the high effort low quantity content
Ight you convinced me, now try doing that for flash nades
great video. Sonar grenades are maybe even better than motion sensor. Your video reminds me of FUNKe’s.
this is a winning formula of a video
amazing video! quickest sub ever!
This is good to know but imma stick to grabbing the canisters. Nades aren’t redundant but you can just find everyone of them on the map with the downside being you’re vulnerable. I’m definitely picking up the smoke canister more now doe!
Thanks mate!
Smoke, Gas, and fire work like rock paper scissors
bubble shield: imma ruin this man's whole career
thermal vision is better than motion as you can just smoke yourself and open thermal vision and that makes it so that you can see and shoot the enemies but they cant see you
Nice I never actually knew you could counter fire with smoke
Now with more recon abilities on the light class i might try this one out
Thermal optics with smoke is pretty good. The problem is that it's hard to tell where/when the smoke ends.
You deserve a lot more
insane video
Smoke grenades are definitely still useful for blocking sight lines in THE FINALS except you have to think a little outside the box with them.
A lot of Light's weaponry excels in close range combat. Smokes allow you to break up lines of sight in open spaces to feel a little more cramped. In tight spaces, you can still use smokes to make the room feel even smaller - just think of all the times smoke has been dropped in the middle of the room, making it hard for anyone to do anything. Smokes are also extremely good for disengaging by placing the smoke between you/your allies and enemies since the concealment allows you to sprint pretty much in the open to get away.
Smoking off choke points seems like it's not a prevalent use-case, but it's more useful than you might think. Sure, there is no vision penalty for pushing through a smoke like in CS and the TTK isn't fast enough to make pushing into the unknown a big problem, but it's plenty useful for isolating attackers as they push in. On the same vein as smoking to disengage, smokes between enemies can allow you to make it difficult for opponents to assist each other in a fight. Valorant and CSGO don't see this being too useful because mini-map refrag makes it possible to trade out your friend, but THE FINALS lacks a mini-map.
Smokes are also good for blocking power positions as you advance, giving them some offensive properties as well. They can also be effective mitigation versus a flame thrower, preventing bonus tick damage!
your channel is underrated. based 🎰
Also keep an eye out for smoke canisters around the map. Lets get litty!
They ain't bad but I'm not gonna use them when the building alone ends up just smoking me out instead
Fav fianls content creator fr fr
I know it's a stretch but I would like to play a couple of matches with even ranked if you want?/ This video was also awesome I swear you had me thinking you had at least 2k subs minimum 😂
smokes + flash bang is a great toxic build for light players. you can even combo this with thermal vision, so you have perfect sight during smokes.
Nice video
Great great video
You earned a sub funny man.
insane vid
