A new season of The Finals means fresh weapons, a new map, and all kinds of strategies that shift the meta in wild ways. Whether you’re chasing victories in ranked or just vibing with the chaos, these 25 tips will give you the edge you need. Some are smart. Some are weird. All are effective — and if you already knew all 25? Well, I’m gonna need you to stop, reflect, and maybe hand over your credit card number. (Just kidding. Sort of.)
1. Turn Furniture Into Bomb Traps with the Data Reshaper
Use the Data Reshaper to surround your cash out with random objects — chairs, plants, goo, whatever. Then convert them into gas or explosives. When enemies rush in to steal, light it up. It’s evil genius-tier defense.
2. Goo the Jump Pads
Jump pads are ambush magnets. Prevent enemies from flying in uninvited by gooing them shut. This keeps your high ground safe and your positioning clean. Don’t forget to remove zip lines too for full control.
3. Use Toxic Gas to Move the Cash Out
Gas can push the cash out station — yes, really. It takes a bit of practice, but you can knock it off platforms or push it to more favorable ground. A tactical repositioning that can change how a fight plays out.
4. Throw + Melee = Super Toss
Want to yeet the cash box further than usual? Throw it and hit melee immediately afterward. You’ll send it spinning at nearly double the distance. Great for last-minute passes or keeping it away from enemies.
5. Thermal Vision Reveals Cloaked Lights
The light class’s cloak is powerful — unless your opponent has thermal vision. Thermal not only reveals cloaked enemies but lets you see clean through smoke. Toss a smoke, go thermal, and turn confusion into easy kills.
6. Trees Are Destructible
Yep — trees, bushes, and foliage can all be destroyed. Clearing them can improve sightlines around cash outs and make approaching enemies easier to track and shut down.
7. Fast Grenade Throws with Hot-Swapping
Equip two different grenades and alternate them after each throw for rapid fire chaos. Whether it’s gas + fire, or EMP + frag, this lets you double-up your entry power with zero downtime.
8. Underhand Nade Tossing
Right-click (or left trigger on controller) to toss grenades underhand. Great for close-range drops, tossing from rooftops, or leaving little “gifts” as you retreat.
9. Heavy Class Has Higher Reach
Heavies aren’t just tanks — they can reach slightly higher ledges too. This makes window jumps and high-climbs easier to pull off. The difference is small but helpful.
10. Zipline Jump Boost (Last-Second Dismount)
Jumping off a zipline right before reaching the end can launch you higher than normal. This is great for hitting awkward angles or reaching suspended platforms that other players might miss.
11. Climb Stairs at Lightning Speed
Face the center railing of a staircase and alternate climb jumps along the inner edge. This lets you blitz up flights of stairs faster than sprinting lights — and yes, any class can do it.
12. Use the Cash Box as a Shield
Trying to escape while holding the box? Face your enemy and angle the box toward them. It absorbs bullets and can save your life on a zipline or jump pad getaway.
13. Goo Tower for High Recon
Stack goo grenades upward to build a fast, high tower. Great for quick battlefield recon or sniper positioning. If the goo gets shot, it dissolves slowly — giving you time to escape.
14. D-Mat Suspended Structure Pillars
Use Dematerializer to make key support beams intangible. Explosives, RPGs, or red canisters will pass through harmlessly — giving you a floating, explosion-proof fortress.
15. D-Mat + Jump Pad = Cash Out Golf
Drop a jump pad. Demat a ceiling or railing. Launch the cash out through the hole. This combo lets you move cash outs vertically and steal objectives with wild creativity. It’s goofy, but super effective.
16. Ride Explosive Canisters
Not practical, but fun: hop on an explosive canister, shoot it, and ride it. You’ll need a flat surface and good timing, but it’s a great party trick for chaos moments.
17. Don’t ADS with Shotguns
Headshots don’t do extra damage with shotguns — even with the KS23 slug gun. Also, aiming slows you down. Just hipfire. It works even while jumping, and the spread remains the same.
18. Sniper Glint is Scope-Based
Only certain scoped weapons show glint — like the Pike, SR-84, and LH1. Interestingly, removing the scope on the LH1 removes glint while keeping long-range potential. Worth the stealth trade-off.
19. One Bridge = One Collapse
When defending Hospital on Seoul Bridge, you only need to destroy one end of the bridge for it to fall. This narrows enemy access and makes defense much easier.
20. Momentum = Faster Traversal
Bunny hop, slide, jump pad, zipline — chain your movement tools together to cover massive ground quickly. Maintain momentum and you’ll cut 200m runs in half.
21. Riot Shield Blocks More Than You Think
When angled toward the enemy, the riot shield blocks about 80% of your body. It also blocks winch claws and can interrupt cash out steals. Hold the angle and move in close.
22. Spray Mines to Hide Them
Want to make traps less visible? Cover your gas mines, C4, or breaching charges with a cool spray. Enemy teams won’t see them coming until it’s too late.
23. Destroy Sonar and Anti-Gravity Gear
Don’t forget: you can shoot sonar grenades and anti-gravity cubes to deactivate them — even your teammates’ if needed. Use this to deny enemy setups.
24. Slide or Crouch for Max Accuracy
Weapons like the R357 or Pike 556 are nearly pinpoint accurate when sliding or crouching without ADS. Use this mid-fight to stay mobile and unpredictable while still hitting clean shots.
25. Distraction is a Strategy
Sometimes, all it takes is one player pulling aggro to allow a teammate to sneak in for a steal. Use noise, movement, or even a fake push to bait enemies off the cash out. Team coordination turns distractions into clutch wins.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re weaponizing goo, launching cash outs like golf balls, or hiding C4 beneath custom sprays, The Finalsrewards creativity. These 25 tips are all about bending the game’s systems in your favor — while looking slick doing it.
Try them all. Combine them. And above all, keep experimenting. Because in a game where anything can be a weapon, movement and strategy are your deadliest tools.
See you in the next round.
