Builds

Overview

THE FINALS is not a hero shooter as much as it is a hero builder. You don't make a hero, you customize them. To this effect, THE FINALS has a three-build system, each with its strengths and weaknesses.

You can create multiple contestants linked to either the light, medium, or heavy build. Each build comes with a different body size along with a unique set of Specializations and Weapons to choose from while gadgets may be used by more than one build. The Frag Grenade for example can be used by all three classes, whereas the various mines may only be an option for the medium and heavy build.

Light Build

Overview

Light is the most mobile build, but sacrifices health for mobility. Lights have a balanced arsenal of both ranged and melee weaponry. They have a good variety of either low-damage, high-fire-rate firearms like the M11 and V9S pistol, or high-damage, high recoil rifles such as the .30-06 Sniper Rifle and the powerful LH1. The lights also have the option to carry the lethal but tactically limiting Assassin's Dagger or the adrenaline-inducing Sword in combination with one of their specializations such as the Evasive Dash or Cloak.
