Why is Finka considered bad?

[C'mon man]

On most tier lists she is near the bottom, her guns seem pretty good, frags are great and the adrenaline rush ability seems fairly useful. Why is she so low on most tier lists?

[HamBunger]

the reason why is because you must rely on your team with her and rarely anyone does that

[GhastlyGhostJr]

I use her a lot for rushes and it works really well. I think its because her guns are horrible for the most part and her gadget probably doesnt help much at a level when everyone hits headshots

[Copy & Cat]

healh means at most one extra shot, the boost screws muscle memory over recoil and guns are okay

[Vaaluin]

I personally don't enjoy having her on my team because her ability is so loud. Can't listen around with that heart beating.

She is good for Rushing Pre-made Team but with Randoms her Ability will Screw Sounds due to Adrenaline Heartbeat and Recoil Reflex.

Really dependent on what teammates you have for Finka to be fully utilized as a support. It's all about coordination that matters the most and timing is everything to activate the boost. A good Finka player is a rare sight

In higher ranks it may not matter the most when everyone can aim headshots, but there's still many benefits that come along with those nanomachines. Revives and negative effects removal are nice and can certainly save you and teammates.

For the most part her guns are good enough. Let's not forget she has the PMM that outdamages DMR and has practically no recoil.

Although most people run the SPEAR 308 since they're more comfortable even though it's not that amazing in DPS values.

6P41 is the perfect match for her since the boost speeds up ADS, reload, and significantly reduces recoil. Basically turns it into a LMG laser beam of death with 100 bullets to spare.

SASG-12 is arguably most ridiculous and impractical gun, but sure is fun to hose down enemies with that shotgun even though it got an undeserved nerf.

Finka at the current state is more of a liability as an operator in standard multiplayer and the only way I ever see her useful is towards T-Hunt or Solo play. In the professional competitive scene, there are practically no one who will ever pick her as an operator.

It's generally because of the sound debuff and the reduced recoil. People might be shooting at someone then get completely screwed when their gun flies to the ground. And because this game is so reliant on sound, the ambient noise of the boost makes it harder to hear enemies.

THIS. I hate her. Gonna be the last operator i buy. Usually not useful ability, that pretty much deafens all of your teammates, and messes with their recoil. Only actually good use ive seen was me getting revived after being downed by a cav, but i ended up dying anyways.

Feel like she's best used either:
1: The obvious strat, turbo rush.
2: Ignore her gadget most of the round and play neutral fragger (kind of tough when her guns suck badly) until you NEED her surge. Like when she's by herself, or the fights have gone loud and your teammates getting a sudden massive handling boost will throw the opponents off track just long enough to win fights over.
Also hearing a fierce Russian woman yelling "surrrge INCOMING " boosts the confidence

Well it all depends on your skill level more than anything. Lower to middle tier players benefit most from the recoil reduction. Many but not all high tier players don't like the recoil reduction because they are used to getting headshots with the regular recoil and it throws their aim off. She does have the ability to revive downed team mates but this is very situational as you rarely have the opportunity.

The PMM is one of the best pistols in the game, with the only downside being a lower mag count. The Spear is below average for DPS with the one advantage of having low recoil. I feel that the 6P41 is an under rated weapon. I can understand as it is an LMG so it has slower ADS, has slightly more horizontal recoil than ARs, and it has the unconventional Russian ACOG/1x optics. Even though this LMG can be quirky, it hits like a truck and is very good for tearing through multiple surfaces such as walls. Even without Finka Boost I prefer the 6P41 over the underwhelming Spear.

Siege is different from most FPS as it relies very heavily on team work and utility/gadgets. Finka isn't a must pick and she doesn't offer much utility. Yeah she can be decent at fragging out, but she doesn't bring much beyond that.
