Model 1887 is the most slept on weapon. DO run the shotgun. It's insane if you've got the aim.

The shotgun is incredibly good wym lol Literally erases lights in one shot, medium in 2 - 3 and heavy in 4

This video should be titled “how to play support medium”

These are the best type of videos for learning the game, so concise with supportive gameplay and can always go back if information is overwhelming. Thanks

Good tips. Medium Shotgun is viable and FCAR is not be all end all best gun. Shotgun has faster TTK if you play with your range and with your team. FCAR struggles in 1vX scenarios due to the constant reloading down time. Same is true with the shotgun though but in team fights enemies die way faster. Cover peak with the shotgun. Use cover in between shots and reloading. Also Recon + Shotgun is disgustingly good just make sure you have another medium with healing beam.

Tip for console shotgun theres a thing called snap aim and will snap to target when u ads so it's actually useful to do so on console u must be close but still helps

5:42 My medium with shotgun is op, so yes, the shotgun is as good as the other weapons if you know how to use it, a good tip for 1v1 with shotgun is to shot, then slide side ways while doing the lever-action animation, that way you don't get beamed before shooting again. It's a preference but I personally love it and it gives a cool gameplay style.

Pro tip for ranked: is everyone a light on ur team? Keep being a light till the last second n switch to a heavy/medium, hopefully ur teammates have switched by then as well.

I definitely need help on medium and heavy, I always end up getting frustrated and swapping back to light. The hit & run technique just seems to work best for me lol also with the gas & fire canisters did u notice if you punch while holding them they start to leak before you throw it and blow up easier. Annnnd I see people mention the vents that only light and mediums can fit through if being chased by heavy, but the heavy can usually just press Q and break the whole wall down or RPG the wall lol

Medium 1887 shotgun absolutely fries lobbies filled with Lights, as only a single pellet needs to connect to break the Invisibility cloak, and they are a pretty easy 2-shot. Most Lights lose their game plan and panic if you pop their cloak before they can get in their preferred range. Of course this is more for quickplay environments since ranked isn't teeming with Lights, but still very undersold here in this video.

absoluetly blown away by the depth of this game

i love the medium shotgun that is my favorite and magnum is a close second.

Haha awesome! I told Pippoa about tip #52 10:45 in one of his streams on twitch. Cool to see it featured here, keep up the content!

“Mediums shouldn’t go for the cache steal” Me after successfully ninja stealing for the 2nd time in the match

Thanks for the tips bro really appreciate them !!! Keep it up 🔥🔥

Liked all the tips on this video except the "don't use the shotgun" tip. The damage on it is just too good to write off completely, with just a little practice it claps cheeks at surprisingly far ranges.

There is something that I do as a recon medium. i get a glitch mine and i put it on a red barrel. when the barrel explodes the mine will activate too. i use that to remove shields or to screw the enemies. People don't expect being glitched by a H M M.

just a thing I noticed while watching, about the tip for putting mines on the cash box in case you get caught off guard, if the enemy shoots that mine it'll blow up in your face. just be wary of that and dont be surprised if you nuke yourself sometimes lol

For the bouncing cashout, I actually had someone counter this today by just throwing goo underneath the landing spot to make it roll, so just a heads up for anyone planning on using it. Also the Model 1887 is actually my main weapon as a medium with the grenade launcher as a medium. I play with the zipline and jump pad though, so I get a lot of mobility and as long as you stick with your team, then you can do a lot. They may not be meta, but just like anything in The Finals, in the right hands it can be deadly.

For me I run grenade launcher, bounce pad (can be swapped for something else), deffib, gas mines, and turrent. In my opinion this is the best defensive build for medium. Throwing gas on the point and then shooting it causes the gas to immediately go off like any other weapon but since the Glauncher has splash its way easier to use so if you stand on the floor above the cash out station and chain gas mines so when the gas fades place another mine and pop it you can almost permanently have gas on the cash out, that with turrent makes it incredibly hard to steal while the medium is alive

I main 1887, range is crazy good and high damage. Why is the shotgun that bad?

Freezing cold take on the 1887

ty for the tips :)

If you stack 2 explosive mines and a propane tank, you're literally a glass cannon and any stray bullet will trigger a chain reaction and kill you instantly. If you keep dying on this strategy, consider just using only one mine or give up.

If you're half decent and you jave good movement the shotgun is the best medium weapon.

I run what I call command playing command you are the leader you tell your team verytjing that is going on in your commander kit you use recon/sonar grenade/gas mine or grenade / defibrillator, your sole job is constantly giving call out by managing your see threw wall ability and when teams get close you throw a sonar where they will be going so you always get the most out of them, gas’s grenades to deny steals from cash outs your main weapon should be ak gold skin preferably. With jackpot jiggle as tactical reload animation and outfit of your choosing

“Don’t run a shotgun”. Okaaay, that was weird. Shotgun, unfortunately, is the only weapon on medium that can provide me with stable 15+ kills per match. Idk, perhaps because this weapon doesn’t rely on headshots as much. That thing two-shots mediums WITHOUT headshots from a respectable distance + it embraces mobility. Can’t imagine why I shouldn’t run shotgun if it just works for me the best. Even on your vid (6:03) you almost one-shotted light (took about 90% of his health with a single body shot). If only u didn’t miss twice. Looks like a skill issue, not a shotgun issue.

just a note: zipline has no range limit (if there is, is really really high) it only breaks if something gets on the way

A tip for the Fcar is if you tap shoot two bullets let got the pin tap 2-3 bullets again you can synce up the flow of bullets and get a rifle with zero recoil, if you panic and hold it down it will ramp up and pull right so tap tap tap tap tap it will become automatic fire rate if you tap it fast and you will beam

loving the Finals content ottr ❤❤ medium homies wya

Great tips, man! If possible would you be interested and able to do a video for light players? I feel like there has to be a more cohesive way to work a light into strategy. Its a great option but doesnt seem to work well in ranked.

the med shotgun is pretty good this guy is just yappin

4:31 almost had a “what did you call me???” moment

The APS is the best gadget in the medium load out and should always be carried.

The shotgun is literally a flyswatrer against lights, what are you on about, it’s also really good cqc and has decent range. I’m not gonna say it’s better than the AK, but it’s better than what you’re giving it credit for

Revolver only is the best medium build I be cooking every game stg

A tip for medium is you can actually use the defibrillator to attack players

The shotgun is definitely viable, the damage is good and the range will surprise you

Aps turret to me should not be able to stop glitch grenade. It already stops all the room breaching explosives. Glitch grenade is even more nich then that.

The jumpad cashout comb is insane xD

5:36 Does this also apply for Lights?

There are so many defensive shotgun users in the comments right now haha

Put a jump pad on a vent to completely block it

Anyone that’s using the shotgun recommend a bulid for it?

Be VERY careful not to be spotted while carrying an item with mines, because it's very easy for an enemy to detonate it in your face while randomly shooting at you

I once killed enemy with defibrilator, not on purpose, but i did it... And it was insta kill, I bet enemy was shocked as I was... not sure if cd started...

HECK YEAHH OTTRRR

Light next PLEASE

Anyone else notice the animation on the like button once he mentioned liking the video

Heavy Video Next plz? Heavy main here. :)

the model 1887 is so slept on and everyone says not to use it. if you hit your shots and reload as often as possible, the 1887 is disgusting. the reload speed is quite slow, but you can easily outplay others with the model.

Try triple recon. Most fun. Pretty good. Maybe you don't have as much value as double medium heavy or double heavy. If everyone in ur team are fraggers I guarantee you won't lose much

So much shotgun hate, it can literally one-shot lights, and does an insane amount of damage.

You really trying to convince me to abandon my beloved CL-40 for some boring AKM or FCAR? Never.

I Don't agree on the shotgun if your good with it you can get some pretty good games its definitely a viable weapon to use in my opinion

has someone been facing fps drops and stutters????PLS DO HELP ME KNOW THE CAUSE ....have literally tried every possible ways to optimize but nothing working..... it used to work so fricking smooth in the beta playtest... i have a laptop having gtx 1650 ryzen 5 5600H and 16gb ram...

As a riot shield main i dont understand the instruction 😂

Tip #0 never take of defib. Best equipment in the game literally

Shotgun underrated

Don't sleep on the R. 357.

Bro died a 12+ stream and then decided to drop a video😂

1:47 "close to the ENEMY that you want to revive". ummm see i dont wann revive enemies

“Mediums shouldn’t use Shotgun” Me finishing games with 20+ kill with my Shotgun and laughing at the video LOL.

i know u hate on the shotgun, but holy shit, if u hit ur shots it deletes ppl

just use healing beam find a decent duo and support them like pre nerf mercy won 2 tournaments and 24k support score💀

counter tip for jump pads blocking doorways. you can destroy jump pads very easily just shoot it and run through. placing pads in doorways is usually a waste of a pad.

a better tip is to use whatever weapon you want, if you want to use a shotgun use a shotgun, if you want to use a riot shield use a riot shield, any weapon is viable if you're good enough with it, don't let some random on the internet tell you what your own playstyle should be just because he's got youtube subs

Bring more sweat to the game lets do the same like we did in apex GGs

You hate the shotgun because you’re on PC my guy lol

This vid is p decent for the most part, but there are some things that I very much disagree with here. Run whatever gun you want lol; Every gun has the potential to carry in the right hands. Don't force yourself to use basic assault rifle if it isn't your playstyle. And bro why you dogging on the 1887 so much lmao it's higher dps than even fcar under 15m, and being able to deal so much dmg in an instant lets you stay safe in cover between shots, so as long as you reload responsibly and position well you're golden. Hell, run whatever specs and gadgets you want too. Healing is certainly best when you're in an organized team, but solo traps + bounce pad is the way to go imo. Even then, nothing is the be all end all, so just play what's fun! You WILL perform better with a bad build that fits you rather than a good one that doesn't. That's the end of my rant lol. Go out there and have fun!

I ❤ you

Btw you SHOULD ADS on console with a shotgun because of how the aim assist works. It massively improves accuracy.

hot damn this aged like milk

if there was 25 real tips in there would be a lot

The Revolver is da goat. Don't care what you say

R .357 is best

hello

Use shotgun

Medium shotgun is good??? What is this kid yapping about?

over half of the "Best players in the world" are cheating and have already been exposed

Giving tips like “never use this” is unhealthy for your channel and the game. Say things like “it’s niche” or “pair it with something”. I mean… yeah if something is TRASH and can’t do anything sure, but that’s not the case in this game.

dude atleast put what game it is in the title i literally only clicked on this video because you said "mEdIUm"

All the shotgun lovers in here ..yall are playing lower skilled players ... Yall got yall wins up ..what happens when the point is out in the open .. ..what happens when the tram cashing out is covering it from above .. what your little medium shotty can do ?...😂

DONTCARE

90% of these tips were trash and niche AF. Half the tips was slide and do this and slide and do that. This isnt Apex Bud. This game is more about thing and skill than moving around like a crack head. Ottr stay in your lane buddy

This guy clearly never plays medium. Or he just never plays it right. Gas grenade gas mine turret defib and the akm or shotty. Done. Cash out everytime on your own

Worst finals video i have seen to this day. You have no idea what is going on in this game.

Bro you really should delete this video... It's jam packed full of bad advice and horrible game sense. You need to play more before you make these.

Terrible tips please don't listen to this guy.

Medium shotgun is so trash for competitive play, can't help your team at all, and they just go for kills instead of playing as a team 🫠
