Model 1887 is the most slept on weapon. DO run the shotgun. It's insane if you've got the aim.
Just make sure to time the reloads right, and you'll be fine👍
I couldn't agree more. I dominate with the shotgun, getting 25 kills per match where my teammates get
shotgun medium is by far my favorite way to play, even on ranked
I’ve seen people who are amazing with it. I’m still fairly new to the game but I think it’s funny if you read 5 different articles about the best guns they may all be different. I like using light with throwing knives and a grappling hook to rush people or get away I think it’s a good weapon but I’ve seen so many people say it’s garbage. The only drawback is is I think that the heavy attack throw should be quicker. I use it when I can but when I’m fighting someone and we are both moving it can be hard to time and land. (I do like to use it if I jump on a zip line after an enemy). I’m pretty good at hitting my throws and I have a blast with the knives. I just think even if they need to lower the damage a bit to compensate it would be worth it.
The shotgun is incredibly good wym lol
Literally erases lights in one shot, medium in 2 - 3 and heavy in 4
Yeah, that's why I main it. I have pretty bad aim from afar, so I play with a movement based kit and stick with my team. It's better to finish off enemies that already have damage rather than take em head on, but I've also won fights taking them head on, so it's a matter of what's comfortable for the user.
This video should be titled “how to play support medium”
Thats the only way to play medium deadass
@@panzershrek7942 2 months ago when I wrote this comment it wasn’t deadass
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.
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
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
All guns that can ads actually
that's called aim assist, not really a tip lol
Actually no it's called snap aim a form of aim assist literally an option in the controls near the "aim assist" that u can turn off
yeah once i figured out you can quick scope and hit someone for 70% of their health it was over dropped 22-0
Yeah that's what I use and I feel like a cheater when I have high kill games 😂
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.
can't switch in comp bucko
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.
"if for some reason you use the shotgun" the fucking condescending way he says this really makes me hate how this game makes folks feel about themselves lol. Sorry my lord, I'll switch back to akm
Yeah feels like he hates the shotgun himself so his tip for everyone is to not use it. That wasn't very helpful.
@@jariellara676 if its his gameplay in the video im not surprised he dislikes the shotgun.
I often run shotgun, goo grenade, mines and abilty to see through walls. I believe Its not meta because people dont know how to use goo and shotgun. With this loadout i can completly shut down a building by myself. its awesome when you play solo ranked.
@@Grayfox354in the end it’s about having fun. If someone has fun using the shotgun they shouldn’t feel looked down upon
@@jariellara676I don’t like the 357 for my play style but can recognize why others might like it and I don’t hate on them. Idk why this guy can’t do the same
absoluetly blown away by the depth of this game
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.
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!
Thanks for the tips bro really appreciate them !!! Keep it up 🔥🔥
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
Honestly heavy’s are usually are pretty easy to deal with in a 1v1 especially,most heavy’s in my experience think their these unstoppable tanks so not directly pushing them instantly while rotating positions to get them down to at least half health before pushing them,I played light but now I play medium and pretty much you should always play angles as a medium and rotate positions,you don’t have enough to push like a heavy or enough mobility to mess up aim like a light,it’s relatively easy for me personally to only push mostly with teammates
heavy is legit braindead easy
Skill issue GAAAAJAJAHAHA
@@eyansrevenge I admit I suck compared to these youtube and twitch players lol
@@eyansrevengesaying skill issue to a LIGHT PLAYER in a game where the heavies dominate is just the biggest cope I’ve ever seen.
“Mediums shouldn’t go for the cache steal”
Me after successfully ninja stealing for the 2nd time in the match
he's also said the same about heavies... not all of these tips are legit. very opinion oriented.
@@SmickyD Ain no way he’s saying heavies shouldn’t steal, a pocketed heavy is a huge pain to kill
@@mrmrmeta3698 medium goes for steal while the heavy blocks for him. There is no better way to do it.
I was playing today and both my teammates disconnected, I was a medium and actually stole a cashout by myself and ended up advancing from the first round in tournament mode. Here's the clip: czcams.com/video/RLeRz0Ip70c/video.html

loving the Finals content ottr ❤❤ medium homies wya
💪🫡
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.
i love the medium shotgun that is my favorite and magnum is a close second.
Freezing cold take on the 1887
ty for the tips :)
I main 1887, range is crazy good and high damage. Why is the shotgun that bad?
it isn't, bro has some obvious bias the dps is too high and is great for defending cashouts
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.
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
If you're half decent and you jave good movement the shotgun is the best medium weapon.
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
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.
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
or just practice controlling the recoil. This is a cheeky little work-around but at the end of the day, all you're doing is avoiding your chance to master the recoil patterns before everyone else starts to.
yeah it’s honestly just a down and left pattern pretty easy compared to something like cs or…old rust. I miss rust recoil
the med shotgun is pretty good this guy is just yappin
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.
A tip for medium is you can actually use the defibrillator to attack players
i dont think that is a useful tip icl, but neither are most of the tips in this video
Never knew, do it causes more damage than a punch? If it does than yeah thats a useful tip
It’s actually a bad thing for mediums, you can run in and tank the defib hit to force the cool down to start and they don’t get a rez.
@@RePlayQ what u mean bro? Sorry didnt understand
@@r0yalr0sePT like, you can deny a rez by standing in the way. It doesn’t do much damage and it starts the cool down
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
just a note: zipline has no range limit (if there is, is really really high) it only breaks if something gets on the way
HECK YEAHH OTTRRR
The APS is the best gadget in the medium load out and should always be carried.
The jumpad cashout comb is insane xD
It's easy to beat, I did it and someone used the goo grenade to make it roll away from the jump pad. If the team doesn't have goo then they can just destroy the jump pad or use explosives to change its trajectory
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
That's an interesting way to play. I play a mobility medium: I run the zipline, jump pad, and defib. That way I can help move my teammates if they can't get somewhere, and if I'm on my own I can easy flee from a fight to avoid team wipes
@@UltimateTS64 it’s just one of my mediums it depends on team composition and map, I typically run heal beam sonar , jumpmpad, defibrillator
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.
Light next PLEASE
4:31 almost had a “what did you call me???” moment
The shotgun is definitely viable, the damage is good and the range will surprise you
Revolver only is the best medium build I be cooking every game stg
Put a jump pad on a vent to completely block 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
“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.
I even muttered "skill issue" when he said don't run the shotgun hahaha
He claims to be a beamer and he can't even use a shotgun lmfaoo
Yep, everyone underrates having a mid-range weapon with accurate hip-fire and high stopping power. ADSing sucks balls in this game.
Itarted running shotgun on medium last night. I got more kills then I usually do. I just play close quarters.
The high end medium build is not about dropping 15 every game its about winning and SUPPORTING your team that way you can stay in diomand and try for top 500.
Yeah it feels good dropping 20 a game but if your kill hungry just stay in quick play an it doesn't matter what you run or do. In competive play your team dose not care you are dropping 15 plus if yall just lose or staying in gold and or silver
Medium shotgun just sucks compared to the other two for some reason.
There are so many defensive shotgun users in the comments right now haha
the same cheese abusers who run turrets and mines
How?@@meat.
Heavy Video Next plz?
Heavy main here. :)
Anyone else notice the animation on the like button once he mentioned liking the video
5:36 Does this also apply for Lights?
Yes all shotguns
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.
Shotgun underrated
Riot Shield is more underrated
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.
Don't sleep on the R. 357.
My favourite medium gun :)
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...
I've seen a video where a guy tested some theories and itirc the defib does like 60 dmg
You really trying to convince me to abandon my beloved CL-40 for some boring AKM or FCAR? Never.
Anyone that’s using the shotgun recommend a bulid for it?
Tip #0 never take of defib. Best equipment in the game literally
Bro died a 12+ stream and then decided to drop a video😂
I ❤ you
As a riot shield main i dont understand the instruction 😂
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
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.
1887 goes hard
Yea I was thinking the same thing. Shotgun slaps if you use it correctly.
It does go hard, in 𝘱𝘶𝘣𝘴, and probably even in ranked at lower divisions. Ottr is more so talking about if you want to have the best chances to push ranked and be amongst the best players. In matches where you're facing really good players, your shotgun will likely be out-skilled.
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...
Lots of games lose performance after the beta because they add the anticheat, which sucks resources. Make sure ray tracing is off and lower your settings. If that doesn’t work make sure you don’t have chrome or anything else open. If that doesn’t work you can go to the nvidia control panel, go to 3D settings, select the finals, and make sure it’s using your graphics card and has high performance selected.
@@RePlayQ i have selected "high performance nvidia processor "in the 3d settings
i know u hate on the shotgun, but holy shit, if u hit ur shots it deletes ppl
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
Yes. But I think these are for Ranked. If you Medium w/shotgun you gonna have a hard time no doubt. Because damn near every player plays Ranged Guns/Gadgets
@@jonathanburns9947then don’t play into their preferred ranges. Stay in buildings, don’t play the rooftops, and force close range cashout contests.
@@RePlayQ This only works if you can stay alive. The moment you die, and have to respawn in, you will NEVER get back to the CashOut Station.
@@jonathanburns9947 just not true lmao
I use jump pad and zipline with the shotgun and it works. As long as you stick your team and have a plan to escape should things go terribly and you're alone, you can make it work.@@RePlayQ
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.
Yeah all these jump pad tips assume the pad can't be destroyed easily lol
If an enemy shoots your jump pad, he is:
1- revealing his location through sound, so you dont get sneaked up on.
2- Making himself vulnerable for a few seconds while he has to reload his bullets.
3- losing more time to break it than you spent putting it up.
So its very advantageous.
@@franciscopetrucci you can destroy them without even losing momentum though. I've seen very few instances where they have been useful. More often than not it's not as useful as getting high ground.
@@SmickyD Evolving as a player means learning that you can ALSO use utility in these niche ways. Sometimes, even if very rarely, it will be the correct play.
You hate the shotgun because you’re on PC my guy lol
Bring more sweat to the game lets do the same like we did in apex GGs
this game doesn’t have the same skill ceiling as apex so I honestly don’t think it’ll be nearly as unbearable as long as your positioning and aim is decent…and you have a team who also has decent aim and positioning ofc
@@meat.?? This game has a far higher skill ceiling than apex.
hello
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
Yeah that's what I say. I'd much rather have a teammate who plays more confidently and effectively with their non-meta loadout rather than use a meta loadout that they can't use effectively cause they just keep dying. The Finals has too many unique situations for any playstyle, so limiting it to one is kinda hard to do.
LOL
R .357 is best
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!
The Revolver is da goat. Don't care what you say
if there was 25 real tips in there would be a lot
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.
Use shotgun
Btw you SHOULD ADS on console with a shotgun because of how the aim assist works. It massively improves accuracy.
Yeah, that's what I do and I feel like I be getting carried sometimes 😂
Medium shotgun is good??? What is this kid yapping about?
every medium weapon is good though
@@anti-tryhard yes but he repeatedly states how bad the lever action is like bro just because its niche doesnt mean its bad
@@SynthesiZR true
over half of the "Best players in the world" are cheating and have already been exposed
dude atleast put what game it is in the title i literally only clicked on this video because you said "mEdIUm"
ill test it x
@@ottr ty its kinda like clickbait yk lmao?
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
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
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
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 🫠
