What are The Finals builds?
As is the case with most FPS titles, the weapon selection is based on the player's playstyle preference. In The Finals, each build has its own set of special abilities that can be used to the player's advantage.
The Light Build is for players who like to live life in the fast lane. The Light Build offers lighter weapons to allow you to attack with speed and aggression, perfect for dodging in and out of fights. The special abilities for The Finals are the Grappling Hook, the Cloaking Device, and Evasive dash according to gamerevolution.
The Medium is your classic supportive build, the Medium Builds' job in The Finals is to protect and heal your team while also detecting enemies in the vicinity. The special abilities for the Medium Build are the Healing Beam, Guardian Turret, and Recon Senses.
While the Light Build likes to pop in and out of fights, the Heavy Build punches straight through the enemies' defences. The job of the player using the Heavy Build is to secure certain positions in the arena. The special abilities for the Heavy Build are Charge 'n' Slam, Goo Gun, and Mesh Shield.
