FCAR Aggro
Dominant mid-range fragger and team anchor, the non-negotiable backbone of M/M/H ranked comps
- Weapon
- FCAR
- Specialization
- Healing Beam
- Gadgets
- Defibrillator, Jump Pad, Goo Grenade
- Reserves
- Data Reshaper, APS Turret, CB-01 Repeater
Why it works Top-ranked Medium on thefinals.gg/meta (Loadout #2114). FCAR S10 buff (520→540 RPM) restored it as the all-round Medium AR. Appoh 5:57 'Heal Medium,' Lefty1A 'Season 10 Is a HUGE Win for Medium Players.' No other class can sustain a Heavy through a cashout fight. Goo Grenade locks doorways for the hold. Data Reshaper in reserves is the S10 counter to Dome/Mesh stall comps - it now reshapes through shields. Defib is the highest-value action in the game.

Heal Support
Team healer and revive specialist with solid fragging power
- Weapon
- FCAR / FAMAS
- Specialization
- Healing Beam
- Gadgets
- Defibrillator, Jump Pad, Goo Grenade
- Reserves
- Data Reshaper, APS Turret, CB-01 Repeater, R.357
Why it works Updated for S10: FCAR replaces AKM as the go-to heal beam weapon. Goo Grenade locks doorways for cashout holds (ranked #1 Medium config per thefinals.gg). Data Reshaper lives in reserves - swap in against Dome/Mesh stall comps since S10 lets it reshape objects through shields. Chimera XB is a solid aggressive alternative.

CB-01 Anchor
Long-sightline marksman anchor with turret-backed angle hold
- Weapon
- CB-01 Repeater
- Specialization
- Healing Beam
- Gadgets
- Defibrillator, Jump Pad, APS Turret
- Reserves
- Data Reshaper, Goo Grenade, Gas Mine
Why it works CB-01's 84-body + massive headshot burst rewards holding clean angles rather than pushing. APS Turret swaps in over Data Reshaper to shut down grenade spam while you hold the bridge. Different role from FCAR Aggro (push) and Heal Support (revive focus) - this is the lockdown marksman build. Still S-tier in S10.
A
Demat Aggressor
Self-sufficient wall-cutting flanker: phase through, burst the surprise target, Jump Pad out
- Weapon
- FCAR
- Specialization
- Dematerializer
- Gadgets
- Defibrillator, Jump Pad, Flashbang
- Reserves
- Goo Grenade, Data Reshaper, APS Turret
Why it works S10 DMAT buff (ammo 2→3, cooldown 10→20s) is the single biggest Medium change of the patch; creators call it 'pretty hot atm.' Appoh's #2 Medium at 6:54, JatsFPS 'This FCAR Setup Turns Medium Into a Problem.' FCAR+Demat has replaced the old shotgun-demat as the S10 top Demat build; shotgun variants (Cerberus/1887) are alt picks for defensive holds. Swap Flashbang → Goo Grenade for cashout defense.
A
Chimera Duelist
Corner-cutting duelist who re-angles walls for surprise first-shot burst
- Weapon
- Chimera XB
- Specialization
- Dematerializer
- Gadgets
- Defibrillator, Goo Grenade, Jump Pad
- Reserves
- APS Turret, Data Reshaper, Pyro Grenade
Why it works Chimera XB's 0.69s TTK vs Lights rewards winning the first-shot exchange. Dematerializer opens fresh angles enemies aren't expecting - distinct role from FCAR's push-the-objective style. Goo + Demat is the classic zone-reshape combo. Pair with Defib so you can peek aggressively and get revived when you overextend.
A
Aerialist Shockwave
Vertical-plays aggressor: Shockwave launches, Hover Pad off-angles, Quake-style air fights
- Weapon
- FCAR / Chimera XB
- Specialization
- Shockwave
- Gadgets
- Hover Pad, Jump Pad, Defibrillator
- Reserves
- Goo Grenade, Flashbang, Data Reshaper
Why it works Season-defining new S10 archetype (JatsFPS 'SHOCKWAVE + FCAR Combo Is INSANE' 3/29, Pocket Tactics hands-on, Dot Esports, GamingTrend). Shockwave knocks enemies off cashout platforms, breaks steal animations, and self-launches you onto a deployed Hover Pad. Sits at A-tier and climbing because of a high skill ceiling - not yet displacing Heal Beam in ranked but the single highest-impact new Medium build. Swap FCAR → Chimera XB if you're a precision player.
