- The melee weapons in THE FINALS are all insanely fun to use. I don't know why, but when shooter games give you a melee weapon, sometimes you just keep swinging. The game has a sledgehammer, riot shield, and sword that you can use. In this video, I'm going to talk about the strategy behind them and ranking them in a tier list, based on my own experience playing.

Trueeee
@@danielmbc WELL SAID!
I don't even play the game, and this guy just straight up made the most high effort video for such views, feels bad man, really want this to succeed
I'll get there, don't you worry
Dude when you didn't play the clip of blocking the revolver I was so sad. BUT THEN, AT THE END...YOU SHOWED THE CLIP!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!
I'll be sure to show it in full in my follow up behind the scenes video.

This is so well-made, and I love it. This game's melee weapons really unlock that primal urge to hit people with a big stick.
It's the first time since PS2 days that I'm leaning into my screen to get extra reach! 😂
40minutes passed and i didnt notice xd
I think frags are an essential sword utility. It very useful for opening damage as u close in on a fight, or finishing off if you need to run. My favorite, is when someone is chasing drop it and wait around the corner for a 1 shot lunge.
Diamond 1 here. (Ofcause I didn’t get here using a melee) anyway for sledge hammer. Yeah, if you surprise an enemy or they decide to stand still and shoot you. Then typically the first attack being a heavy attack is usually a correct move. But if you fighting a light or medium who’s running away (aka decent player with a brain). I find better result by just performing a light attack and then melee them for a much more consistent kill. So yeah. Use heavy attack when you can but trust me, you will yourself get a lot more kill against running away player if you just use light attack with the melee combo.
You can cancel the attack animation btw. Very important when you use a heavy attack and is about to miss. For me, I just switch gadget and switch back.
But you can also emote cancel
Always use a melee after the heavy attack register. (Make the ttk faster)
But the most important thing with the heavy is
ALWAYS SURPRISE YOUR ENEMY
You have a heavy attack that can destroy wall or ceiling
Use them
And get good with the goo gun. It’s much practical in helping you close the distance than the long cooldown charge and slam.
And unlike the charge and slam. When you bring a goo gun, you actually have a chance at killing them even if they’re in the open.
Whereas if you charge but couldn’t reach your opponent in less than 2 second. Then you just dead
(ALWAYS USE CHARGE AND SLAM BEHIND COVER IF YOU CAN)
That said, unless you have mesh shield (but even with the mesh shield). Always run to cover and goes around if you’re alone see more than 1 enemy looking at you ^^’
And btw. If your teammate is fighting a 1v1.
Use the goo gun To trapped the enemy. Prioritize saving your teammate’s hp over killing the enemy faster.
Lastly, respect the shotgun. Especially if the enemy is good with it. Trust me, just switch it off before you’re tilt yourself ^^
Don’t try sledge hammer again a game with multiple 1 light. They just gonna stun you to death.
Honestly, I believe the hammer is best against heavy so yeah
In quick play when you see a lot of heavy. That’s the best time to play hammer from my experience
And try to coordinate with your team. Sometime it’s about having them distract the enemy for you so you can go around.
But sometime it’s also about you going in first to distract the enemy so that your team kill the without them taking damage.
(The only time, charge and slam or mesh shield is better than goo gun specialization)
Happy sledging :3
i dont understand why you aren't getting more recognition. Phenomenal video my guy keep it up 👍👍
I just have to say, I absolutely love your confidence you portray in the intro, the whole video is just truly stellar. Your animation and style reminds me of FUNKe, and that alone makes me very excited to see what you make next!
Also I'm a huge fan of the Finals and their melee weapons, so this was pretty much the perfect video for me. Personally, i'm a dedicated dagger main (even if i'm not very good)
8:58 this is like crack for me, charging up my swing for an unsuspecting light and instantly dropping them is something else
you are the only person i look forward to seeing upload the finals content
if you're having trouble closing the distance as a heavy, i would recommend sliding more, it's crucial for effectively using the hammer. if you do a crouch slide and then start an overhead strike, the extra speed boost helps to lessen that gap, and you can start a slide at any point during the windup of the overhead swing as well. you get even more distance if you jump near the end of the slide, so if you're chasing someone who's trying to shoot at you, you start sliding, begin an overhead swing, then jump before your hammer is brought downward. not only does it give you greater reach, but it can mess up their aim as well. i have auto sprint turned on and the activation delay is a low enough value so i'm practically always sprinting, leaving me open for a slide when i need it. great video overall, i'm always happy to see people enjoying the melee in this game 👍
new fact for my extras video
AUGHH!!! I’ve been waiting for high quality Finals videos like this!! I’m so tired of the generic boring ass fps TH-cam slop, IM SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS!!! 10/10, You’re my hero!
Omg bro, the lore in the video.... When you animated the riot shield vs revolver clip but didnt show it I was pissed and thought may be it was too good to be true and you just lied to prove your point,
then seeing it at the end of the video was like a movie twist that made me so happy.
I never over-appreciate people, your work is very unique and inspiring.
Thank you for a hella of a video, ofc I subscribed.
Really happy I found your channel few weeks back
Keep up the great work man
Positioning is #1 important with melee weapons in this game.
Facts.
this is just the most underrated youtuber overall not even for the finals omg dude
hi! i just wanted to say thank you for writing subtitles! as someone who likes to know what people are saying/has difficulty understanding people, this is awesome!/gen
POV you are british
I really hope you hit 1mil subs
Your content is SO GOOD
One day I'll be the proud subscriber that'll say: "I was there since the beginning"
Keep up the good work!
Hey Cooler ZGallanjtryhardest,
Great new video might need to make them longer so I get midroll ads.
On a serious note vids great, the segment at 19:30 was increasingly sick, keep up the great videos!
Yooo, this video was so well-informed and put together! As a fellow melee (knife) enthusiast to another, I gotta say you hit almost all the right points and showed exactly why they matter. Major props for giving attention to one of the most fun aspects in The Finals, I personally love the most. Loved your paper mache style animations, and I'm definitely subbing and joining the discord. I hope to see you in the podium soon!
the part where you revealed the riot's exposive immunity is amazing. Loved that section, and your vids. seem like they're really hard to make, so thanks!
I’ve been a dagger main in the finals for so long and I’ve only found this vid now??? Awesome job man would love to see another episode going into spear and dual blades!
This video was well made! deserves much more attention
the undertale music just made an already perfect video phenomenal definitely underrated
this video is soooo chaotic and I love it. Here are some of my observations and possible improvements take it or leave it.
Ok I'm ngl I didn't know this was a finals video until you said it like 10 seconds in. I don't remember why I clicked on the thumbnail but I did not thinking it was finals. So make the thumbnail and more specifically the title more clear. Viewers' expectations should first be MET, and only after that should they be pleasantly surprised by something they weren't expecting. So one way to think about this is, 1, meet expectations with a more clear and finals containing intro, only THEN before people click off, surprise and exceed the expectations with the fancy animations. Honestly I think the problem was the slow looking at door intro, it kinda threw me off.
I'm at 4 minuets rn and I have NO idea how you are gonna fill 40 min lmao but we will see. Definatly look at your retention in youtube studio to see which parts people stayed for, skipped, watched again etc. Would help to guide future videos.
Ok honestly the funny bits in this video are really good. I think doing this format with a little more focus and shorter than 10 min would be super successful. Im at 10 min and it doesn't feel like 10 min. That is a reeeeally good sign. I am getting kinda bored tho. If you make smaller videos, you can add more little graphics which really help with retention. I also am a mele player so I pretty much know all this info already so its not stimulating in that way.
over really good, Ima click off at 9:06, but if you wanna talk more youtube i'd be super down. Just search for me 'fingle' in the official finals discord and dm me from there. gl I hope to see more vids in the future!
I’m so glad the algorithm brought me to you, you are hilarious 😂😂😂
Why cant we have more youtubers like this like its just so good to see more people utilizing 3d animation to characterize themselves in their vids, it reminds me alot of the youtuber funke and the other guy
this is a really cool channel, im glad the algorithm found you
Bro this video is great, I hope it had way more views, it deserves it
keep it up man! most unique, well thought out, and entertaining Finals content right here.
Dude. Your videos are brilliant. Amazing work!!!
Those smears in the beginning😩💦
good animation bro, keep it up & don't limit yourself to the Finals, the potential is there
do what you like until you don't like it anymore
23:47 and dropout reference???
Keeps these awesome videos up
Ive paired riot shield with dematerialiser because theres nothing to throw the enemy off better than making holes out of nowhere to attack with, or running away through holes that i then close, cutting off sightlines, all just making the enemy a lot more confused. Im not even that good with the shield half of the weapon, and i still remember doing really well.
I revel in the environment destruction/modification mechanics, i think im quite good at it. Thats why i tend to do really well with sledgehammer and goo gun (i can see what you mean by it being gross, sorry but as another youtuber put it, the feeling of leaving enemies horrified at their trappedness while bearing down on them with a sledgehammer or flamethrower is absolutely ravishing), or charge. The demat also kinda plays into this, since making holes and is practically the raw spirit of the game, but being able to do it relatively quietly, quickly, 3 times in a go, and even close them at will, is absolutely fantastic.
You sir, are underrated as HELL 🔥
Great video 💯 !!!
Bro ur content is really good u have potential to get big❤
Great video!
Some quality animations
The Final's sword is cool and all, but it would never have a Sea of Thieves lunge jum- 😳
Your shi is actually good underrated asf
I think the goo grenade as a gadget is a really viable option when playing melee to cut off longer sightlines when enemies with guns could be shooting at you. IMO it might be better than equipping a tracking dart with saber or dagger.
Tips for evasive dash. Remember the position of your enemy. Let’s say if you dash through a guy. What’s most player does is they 180 degree turn their dash back. That’s horrible. Even if they do it fast, that will still make you get shot. It’s better to just use 1 dash back or to the side to throw them off (assuming you’re in a 1v1)
37:52
Just pull out your revolver!
Goo Gun is the superior choice for sledge imo. Massive mobility, massive control over where the enemy can & can't go, and the ability to lock enemies down while you close the gap is HUGE for landing those heavy attacks. Mesh & Slam just don't even come close imo
After sitting on it I've come to agree, I wrote that part after getting completely destroyed in that one clip and I was feeling pretty salty.
It's very good, but the game needs an indicator that you've been goo'd like the stun gun
BRO UR VIDEOS ARE PEAK
Bro what the... why wasent i notified of your upload. The only reason im back here is because i wanted to rewatch the smoke grenade video. And apperently you uploaded a 40 min video and i wasent notified. Anyhow imma watch
yeah alot of people weren't, probably because most people didn't make it very far in the video.
what the fuck this dude does not have only 3k subscibers
this shit should not be bringing in such so low numbers, this is good
Production quality of the video goes so hard man its criminal you dont have more viewers keep it up
The official TH-cam account of the game posted a short of them using the sledgehammer and shooting people with the goo gun. Apparently it's an intended interaction, but hopefully they make it a bit less janky in the future
underrTed! 🎉
you are tha goat
39:32 try using sword/ dagger with dash, invis bomb, smoke and flashbangs. if you want chaos/ distractions, this works well. (flash bangs seam to be really underrated in this game but combo flash bang with dash its crazy. if you go in for an attack on someone rather close, drop a flash, then just as its about to go off, dash Infront of it. you will flash the opponent but not yourself. Same with running away, you can quickly drop a flash with right click and then dash just as it goes off. leaving distance between you and the opponent, which they are ever blind now, or didn't chance because they know you dropped a flash. This strat worked for me near enough 100% of the time, if I had a flash ready. if not, smoke was next best thing, + invis bomb. your dash is mainly for attacking and saving one dash for running away. your other equipment is for messing with the opponents ability to track, chase or even hear you. yes thats right, flash bang also messes with your hearing if at point blank. just a fun way I like to play light melee) you can even swap out the smoke for sonar nades for better team utility)
and yes, you will flash your team mates allot, but come on thats just part of the fun. especially if your in VC with friends and you all have your own flash bangs xD
Shield main I would love to see you take on shied since we got Demat and reshaper. Also they fixed the sprint/crouch locking. The flow is Significantly better.
Scouts die to primary attack and melee which is way better than a secondary attack, and medics die to 2 primary attacks and a melee, heavies remain with 5 hp after 3 primary attacks which is the exact damage of the hook. Anyway if you have hook you can hook primary and melee to one shot a scout
glad to say, melee just got buffed. the AA can be turned off, and the swings less encumber sprinting!
14:24 The French pronunciation. 😂 Too good. EDIT: 37:00 ...Then he does it again. Absolutely remorseless.
you should talk about the new melees
39:58 HE SAID THE THING
Getting kills with meele in shooter hits different
How do you not have 100k subscribers
here b4 100k
This has probably already been said here, but the aim lock can now be disabled in the settings. I believe it's in the gameplay tab. Hope this helps :)
Dagger mains watching this video like.... what about us. all 2 of them
The biggest problem i see with melee weapons is that their SUPER easy to spam. And one can pick up a sword and spam left click. I just wish you were more rewarded for using the right click attacks and less so when using left click attacks
You make playing with swords sound and look so easy :((
Yippee
Riot shield woooooo
How were you launched up as you were being revived at 26:55?? Also great video!!
Early in the season, devs forgot to disable specializations while being revived. Its a grappling hook.

Fun fact if you hold your riot shelds upr sometimes the turret (the one that shoots) wont see you i will double check after school
Update: it appears this no longer happens
Yeah it got patched recently, however I think this works on mines still which is kinda funny.
Nahhh man. Keep the goo gun heavy in the game. It’s actually hard to trapped people with goo you know. Plus it’s actually a very bad specialization when you’re fighting more than 1 enemy ^^
Why hold the nuke when you can BE THE NUKE
INDAH
Riot SHIELD turns your game to dark souls basicly.
They added the option to turn off the melee aim assist
Bro I love the animations
Please talk more words in my face
Where's throwing knives 😢
You throw them wdym?
You're (throwing) your wepon, not holding it and go slashing.
You can turn off the aim assist on melee weapons 🎉🎉
B….b…but da Finals is dead
I hate melee. I hate playing it. I hate going up against it. All those gimmick weapons like throwing knives and flame throwers too. Boring af.
And the fact that it's the meta rn makes this season the most annoying season so far.
Game is dead, I wish I were wrong cause I have around 750 hours on it but I really don’t see a future for it. Your style of content is amazing and I believe youll grow a lot more if you focus on another game. Anyway good luck with your channel 👍
I run zip/goo reshaper or difib. The goo gets alot more use in chases than jump Imo. My demat meta is defib/xmine/goo if you care to test
at the end of the video you killed a youtuber named tmal his user name is poopy69poopy
Charge n slam = pure dopamine
Press Q and see the enemy disappear 😂
Low gravity + bounce pad + slam = God like power!!!
I won a ranked game with this and it was such an adrenaline rush!!! The Meta sweats cry so loud lol
Hmmmmmmm
Nuke 2.0 ?
