The Finals’ studio deploys first big ban wave for the FPS, but it accidentally lands on non-cheaters
The free𓄧-to-play shooter aims at cheaters, hits normies in the crosꦉsover

Developer Embark Studios ha💝s deployed the first big ban wave on its free-to-play shooter The Finals, but some non-cheating players appear t🦋o have been affected too.
The Finals was released earlier this month (December 8), and while the game was showered with praise for its destructible levels and variety of tactical options, reports of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:rampant cheating somewhat dampened the successful launc🌼h. Now, in an effort to soothe♚ these complaints, Embark Studios employed an overnight ban wave.
: “Looks like it has hit a lot of folks who don’t cheat, including a number of Twitch streamers.” That spot was corroborated by streamer PRX Jinggg who shared the notification screen (embedded below) that reads: “Due to certain behavior that is against our Code of Conduct, your account has been banned.” Many also cropped up on Twitter over the last day.i just want to play the finals and have hapi new year 😿☹️ help plz pic.twitter.com/N87nqR7Uol
Twitter user Viscose shared a gameplay clip from The Finals, which included top-down footage of their mouse movements, seemingly to prove that no cheating had occurred. Vis🎉cose’s ban was reversed a💎 few hours later, meaning at least some bans were falsely issued. Though it’s encouraging news that Embark Studios is already working to retract some false bans.

Players have also been experimenting with fun, creative builds as one genius crafted a chea🌜ter-killing machine by popping a turret into a plant pot.
