The message from CNS

In-Game

On June 16th, during CB2, a message was found by hunter TheSkyFox. It is hidden behind a destructible wall under the crane in Monaco. The message reads "S Lies". The message is in an orange, pixel-styled text.

The meaning of "S Lies" is unknown, but the message is almost certainly from CNS, as it is similar to the metadata of THE_FINALS_CB2_Guns_and_Namas image. The text's font also shares a similarity with the message from the CB2 trailer.
