FCAR Aggro
Reliable mid-range fragger and team anchor for coordinated ranked comps
- Specialization
- Healing Beam
- Gadgets
- Defibrillator, Jump Pad, Goo Grenade
- Reserves
- Data Reshaper, APS Turret, CB-01 Repeater
Why it works A proven Healing Beam setup built around FCAR's reliable mid-range handling. FCAR was trimmed to 530 RPM at the S11 launch and remains a strong current option, but it is not the only viable Medium primary. AKM, FAMAS, P90, CB-01 Repeater, and Model 1887 cover different ranges and comfort levels. Goo Grenade locks doorways for the hold. Data Reshaper counters Dome and Mesh stall setups and can instantly disable a Gateway. Defibrillator remains the core revive tool.

Demat Aggressor
Self-sufficient wall-cutting flanker: phase through, burst the surprise target, Jump Pad out
- Specialization
- Dematerializer
- Gadgets
- Defibrillator, Jump Pad, Flashbang
- Reserves
- Goo Grenade, Data Reshaper, APS Turret
Why it works Dematerializer has 3 charges, and patch 11.6.0 reduced its cooldown from 20s to 15s while removing the raise time. That makes surprise angles and emergency escapes quicker to execute. FCAR is the stable mid-range option here, while Cerberus 12GA, Model 1887, and Chimera XB trade range for more aggressive burst patterns. Swap Flashbang for Goo Grenade when cashout defense matters more than entry pressure.

Heal Support
Team healer and revive specialist with solid fragging power
- Specialization
- Healing Beam
- Gadgets
- Defibrillator, Jump Pad, Goo Grenade
- Reserves
- Data Reshaper, APS Turret, FCAR, Model 1887
Why it works Current thefinals.gg Season 11 usage (checked Aug 24) places AKM and P90 directly behind FCAR among the leading Medium Healing Beam loadouts. Both keep Defibrillator, Goo Grenade, and Jump Pad. AKM favors forgiving sustained pressure after its 11.6 damage buff; P90 favors a larger magazine and close-range tracking.

Chimera Duelist
Corner-cutting duelist who re-angles walls for surprise first-shot burst
- 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.

Aerialist Shockwave
Vertical-plays aggressor: Shockwave launches, Hover Pad off-angles, Quake-style air fights
- Specialization
- Shockwave
- Gadgets
- Hover Pad, Jump Pad, Defibrillator
- Reserves
- Goo Grenade, Flashbang, Data Reshaper
Why it works Season-defining Medium 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 - which S11 buffed to 425 HP (from 350), so your off-angle platform survives poke noticeably better. 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.
B
CB-01 Anchor
Long-sightline marksman anchor with turret-backed angle hold
- Specialization
- Healing Beam
- Gadgets
- Defibrillator, Jump Pad, APS Turret
- Reserves
- Data Reshaper, Goo Grenade, Gas Mine
Why it works CB-01's 84-body damage and headshot burst reward holding clean angles rather than pushing. APS Turret shuts down grenade spam while you hold the lane. This is a specialist marksman setup, not a default current-meta Medium card; use it when the player explicitly prefers the CB-01 playstyle.
