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 associated with either the light, medium, or heavy build. Each build has a different body size as well as a unique selection of Specializations, Weapons and Gadgets (can be used by multiple builds). The Frag Grenade for example can be used by all three builds, while the various mines are only for the medium and heavy builds.
Each build has two body types rather than specifying a gender.
- Type 1: Feminine body type
- Type 2: Masculine body type
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. Light Builds 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.

Mediums are the jack-of-all-trades support build, having more health than Light Builds, but are also slower. They usually come equipped with a Healing Beam, but can be swapped out for a Guardian Turret or Recon Senses. Mediums have a decent range of weapons they can choose: from the AKM, a short to medium-range weapon that has a quick fire rate and decent performance, or a versatile weapon like the R.357, or more close range but very powerful, the Repeater.
