A reliable staple for mid-range sustained fire, outputting 600 RPM with manageable recoil.
A blistering 1000 RPM submachine gun ideal for hit-and-run evasion tactics.
Fires 1500 RPM. Boasts the highest theoretical DPS in the game at the cost of a severe movement penalty during barrel spin-up.
Features a unique segmented reload mechanic and devastating burst damage up to 20 meters.
Devastating melee tool. The alternate overhead attack deals over 2,000 environmental damage, instantly leveling structural walls.
A highly accurate 880 RPM suppressed SMG with an ideal TTK of 0.68 seconds against 250 HP targets.
THE FINALS Vehicles
Part of the Alien Invasion Game Show event; UFOs fly above the arena using powerful tractor beams to physically tear buildings from their foundations.
A deployable floating platform generated by Medium builds with 425 HP, used to create instant aerial high ground or to block vertical assault routes.
A massive, physics-enabled airborne platform that serves as the central objective in the Power Shift mode, actively crushing buildings as it moves along its track.
THE FINALS Animals / Creatures
Role: An in-game environmental hazard event that circles the arena, raining concentrated fire down onto Cashout stations and destroying rooftops.
THE FINALS Characters
Announcer
The more observant and analytical co-commentator who often displays subtle suspicion regarding the glitches and the true nature of the MultiCo simulation.
Announcer
The enthusiastic and corporate-loyal commentator of THE FINALS, constantly hyping up the action and dismissing CNS hacks as planned events.
CEO of OSPUZE
The enigmatic executive targeted by CNS hackers, whose supposed corruption drives a large portion of the game's ARG lore.
workspace_premium Top 3 Characters
The
character roster of THE FINALS is defined more by its prominent in-universe personalities and lore figures rather than playable heroes, as players utilize custom avatars. At the forefront are Scotty and June, the dynamic and highly charismatic broadcast commentators who serve as the narrative voice of the game. Scotty represents the corporate enthusiasm of MultiCo, constantly hyping the action and dismissing the anomalous hacker events as scripted stunts, while June offers a more observant, subtly suspicious perspective on the game's underlying mysteries. The third major character is Sofia Petronelle, the enigmatic CEO of OSPUZE, a primary corporate sponsor. Though rarely seen directly, Sofia is a central figure in the game's lore, actively targeted by the CNS hacker collective through the infamous "S LIES" graffiti campaigns, which imply deep corporate corruption and position her as a major antagonist within the unfolding Alternate Reality Game narrative.
THE FINALS Missions / Objectives
Objective: Locate Vaults, extract the Cash Box, and defend the Cashout Station from rival squads until the extraction timer completes.
Objective: Teams fight to control a physics-enabled floating platform that slowly navigates a track through the map, destroying any buildings in its path.
Objective: Attackers must decrypt data terminals by breaching fortifications while defenders hold the line. Health regeneration is completely disabled.
workspace_premium Top 3 Missions/Objectives
The
core objective flow in THE FINALS is defined by high-stakes, multi-stage missions that dynamically shift the focal point of the arena. The most critical objective is the "Cashout Extraction." Teams must assault a heavily fortified Vault, extract the Cash Box, and physically transport it to a Cashout Station, initiating an intense defense phase where they must hold the line against multiple attacking squads to secure the funds. A secondary, highly strategic objective is the "Double Jeopardy" insertion; high-risk teams can attempt to retrieve a second Cash Box and insert it into an already active Cashout Station, multiplying the monetary reward exponentially but risking a devastating 50% penalty if an enemy squad successfully steals the station. Finally, the "Terminal Decryption" objective in the 5v5 Terminal Attack mode tasks attackers with methodically breaching fortified architecture to interact with a secure data node, all without the safety net of health regeneration.
THE FINALS Companions / Summons
Ability: Automatically intercepts and destroys incoming explosive projectiles within a 3-meter radius, sacrificing its own health to protect the squad.
Ability: Acts as an automated point-defense sentry that independently tracks and fires upon enemy contestants within its line of sight.
THE FINALS Collectibles
Location/Use: Spawns procedurally inside heavily fortified Vaults across all map regions during the Cashout mode.
Location/Use: Cryptic Easter eggs hidden as graffiti or numerical sequences on cosmetic items and specific arena walls like Monaco.
Location/Use: Drops precisely at the location of an eliminated teammate, required for Defibrillator use.
workspace_premium Top 3 Collectibles
While
THE FINALS is a competitive shooter rather than a traditional collect-a-thon, the game features several critical items and narrative Easter eggs that function as highly sought-after collectibles within the match ecosystem and lore. The primary gameplay "collectibles" are the Cash Boxes; these high-value digital cubes are extracted from Vaults and must be physically carried across the map, acting as the central focal point of the flagship Cashout mode. The second critical collectible form takes the shape of the physicalized respawn statues; when a teammate is eliminated, they drop a small, interactable statue that must be safely retrieved and revived using a Defibrillator to maintain team momentum. The third tier of collectibles exists within the meta-narrative Alternate Reality Game (ARG); players actively hunt for cryptic graffiti, hidden numerical codes on cosmetic items (like the infamous silver bracelet), and anomalous CNS data fragments scattered throughout the maps to unlock upcoming seasonal secrets.
THE FINALS Armor
Focus/Stats: Deployable segmented steel walls featuring 800 HP, used for hard objective entrenchment.
Focus/Stats: Deployable 360-degree protective bubble with 250 HP, capable of bouncing projectiles and blocking Winch Claw tethers.
Focus/Stats: Projected frontal energy barrier operated by Heavy builds to absorb incoming damage while allowing teammates to fire from cover.
THE FINALS Clothing / Appearance
Options: Sleek, corporate-themed suits and tactical gear provided by the in-universe risk assessment firm.
Options: Bright yellow, high-energy drink branded jackets, pants, and weapon skins earned through the 'Fan' progression system.
Options: A premium VAIIYA-themed DLC bundle featuring heavily militarized, brutalist tactical gear.
THE FINALS: Other Features & Info
- labelMultiplayer ModesTHE FINALS offers a diverse suite of objective-based and elimination-focused multiplayer modes.The flagship mode is "Cashout" (and its highly competitive "Ranked Cashout" variant), a chaotic 3v3v3v3 format where squads must locate Vaults, extract Cash Boxes, and defend Cashout Stations while utilizing the "Double Jeopardy" mechanic to multiply rewards at great risk. "Terminal Attack" shifts the paradigm to a tactical 5v5, single-life attack-and-defend format where health regeneration is entirely disabled, demanding methodical breaching and fortification. "Power Shift" is a 5v5 tug-of-war mode centered on controlling a massive, physics-enabled floating platform that violently tears through the arena's architecture as it moves. "Point Break" scales the conflict to an 8v8 asymmetrical siege across massive maps, tasking attackers with destroying Grand Vaults while defenders deplete their respawn tickets.Season 11 also integrated a dedicated 8-team PvE "Cashout (Bots)" mode for practice.
- labelUser InterfaceThe user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design of THE FINALS are deeply integrated into the game's virtual reality game show aesthetic.Menus are presented as high-contrast, neon-drenched digital overlays that mimic the broadcast feeds of the mega-conglomerate MultiCo.In-match, the Heads-Up Display (HUD) provides critical, at-a-glance telemetry without cluttering the screen, displaying health, stamina, ammunition, and dynamic objective markers that scale dynamically based on distance.The UI heavily features physicalized transitions and glitch effects, especially when the hacker collective CNS executes a narrative takeover.Post-launch iterations, particularly those championed by Embark CEO Patrick Söderlund, have continuously refined the UX to improve player retention, making loadout customization, sponsor contract tracking, and competitive rank progression highly intuitive.Critical combat feedback, such as the hit-marker precision zones introduced in the Season 11 melee overhaul, are seamlessly communicated through clean, distinct visual iconography.
- labelSound and MusicThe auditory soundscape of THE FINALS is an integral component of both its tactical gameplay and its immersive game show presentation.The dynamic original soundtrack blends high-energy electronic synthwave with pulsing cyberpunk beats, dynamically scaling in intensity as matches reach their chaotic final seconds or during intense Cashout steals.In-universe commentators Scotty and June provide real-time, context-aware dialogue, reacting organically to massive structural collapses, team wipes, and sponsor events, blurring the line between gameplay and broadcast.On a tactical level, the game utilizes advanced spatial audio to communicate critical information.Players can accurately track enemy footsteps, identify specific weapon fire, and hear the distinct hum of utility gadgets like Guardian Turrets or C4 charges through walls.The sonic impact of destruction is deafening and realistic, with crumbling concrete, snapping wood, and localized debris collisions rendering the Chaos Physics system sonically tangible.
- labelGraphics and VisualsPowered by heavily modified Unreal Engine 5 technology, the graphical fidelity of THE FINALS is engineered to support unprecedented real-time, server-side destruction without compromising visual splendor.The game utilizes RTXGI (Ray Traced Global Illumination) combined with Dynamic Diffuse Global Illumination (DDGI) probes to handle rapid lighting calculations.When a wall or ceiling is breached by explosives, ambient daylight instantly and accurately floods the newly exposed interior, dynamically bouncing off surviving geometry.The art direction masterfully juxtaposes hyper-realistic materials and brutalist architecture against vibrant, saturated neon elements, corporate branding, and stylized character models.Screen-space reflections and Niagara particle systems enhance the chaotic beauty of the destruction, ensuring that collapsing structures generate realistic localized dust and debris fields.The upcoming Season 12 overhaul promises even deeper visual upgrades, including comprehensive overhauls to environmental textures and more advanced material straining effects.
- labelAccessibility FeaturesRecognizing the inherently chaotic and visually intense nature of its gameplay, Embark Studios has integrated a comprehensive suite of accessibility features into THE FINALS to ensure a broad spectrum of players can compete effectively.The game includes robust colorblind modes that adjust the high-contrast neon UI elements, objective markers, and enemy outlines to accommodate various types of color vision deficiencies.Customizable subtitles are available for the dynamic announcer commentary and in-game lore drops, featuring adjustable sizing and background opacity.The control scheme offers complete input remapping across both mouse/keyboard and gamepads, alongside granular sensitivity sliders, deadzone adjustments, and toggle options for sprinting, crouching, and aiming down sights.Furthermore, the game features distinct audio cues for critical objective interactions—such as the pitch-shifting alarm of an ongoing Cashout steal—ensuring that visually impaired players or those in sensory-overloaded engagements can track objective status through sound alone.
- labelStory and SettingThe narrative universe of THE FINALS frames the entire experience as an omnipresent, highly stylized virtual reality game show broadcast globally in the late 21st century.Contestants log in from the physical world, colloquially referred to as "Meatspace," to compete in hyper-realistic, destructible arenas managed by the mega-conglomerate MultiCo.The matches are narrated dynamically by in-universe commentators Scotty and June, who provide real-time reactions and sponsor shoutouts.However, a deeper meta-narrative conflict unfolds beneath the polished game show exterior.A rogue underground hacker collective known as CNS continuously disrupts the broadcast, attempting to expose the sinister truths behind the simulation.Their anomalous code injections manifest as glitched arenas like SYS$HORIZON and illegal gadgets, sparking ongoing lore mysteries solved by the community through complex Alternate Reality Games (ARGs) and cryptic Easter eggs.
- labelTop 3 Mounts/CompanionsBecause THE FINALS is a hyper-fast, modern competitive shooter set in a virtual arena, it does not feature traditional RPG-style biological mounts or sentient animal companions. Instead, the "companions" take the form of highly advanced autonomous utility gadgets that act as secondary squad members. The top autonomous companion is the Guardian Turret, exclusively available to the Medium build. This deployable sentry automatically tracks and engages enemies within its line of sight, providing crucial point defense and covering flanks during intense Cashout steals. Thelooks_one Rank #1
companion
like entity is the APS Turret, another Medium utility device that autonomously intercepts and neutralizes incoming explosive projectiles, effectively acting as an automated bodyguard against Heavy RPGs and grenade launchers. While not a companion, the closest equivalent to a "mount" is the Power Shift Platform, a massive, physics-enabled floating barge that teams must collectively ride and pilot through the arena, utilizing it as a mobile fortress that tears through buildings.
