Season 2 of THE FINALS gets hacked

It’s been just a few short months since THE FINALS was shadow-dropped to the world. But in that time, it’s picked up some decent acclaim; a free-to-play first person shooter that is well worth your time. But now, THE FINALS moves into Season 2 territory – are you ready to get hacked?

Landing in-game on March 14th, as Season 2 goes live, will be a new map, new gadgets, more weapons and an all-new 5v5 game mode. Yep, strange things are most certainly occurring in the land of THE FINALS

Available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC, Season 2 of THE FINALS will give contestants the chance to experience new weapons for each class, the hacked new map SYS$HORIZON, the all-new 5v5 game mode Power Shift, a new skill-based League System, rewarded weekly career progression, private matches – initially in a feature-limited beta version – and the new Hacker Playstyle, which adds several ways for contestants to alter the arena to their favor.

New gadgets

THE FINALS’ new Hacker Playstyle lets players step into the shoes of CNS. It’s here where a set of new gadgets and a new specialization that can be mixed and matched with players’ existing toolset comes to the fore. You’ll get the chance to remove walls, defy gravity, tunnel across the arena, and transform items, in order to become the glitch in the system, the ultimate cyber tactician, and bring a new dimension to the game. 

  • The Dematerializer for Mediums: a specialization that temporarily erases physical surfaces, like walls, ceilings, or goo — allowing contestants to see, shoot, and pass through them. Create new passageways and close them back up again —turn every obstacle into an open door. 
  • The Anti-Gravity Cube for Heavys: a deployable cube that manipulates gravity in its immediate area, lifting contestants and objects upwards! Is it a traversal tool? Or a defensive gadget? It’s up to each contestant!
  • The Gateway for Lights: a pair of limited-range deployable portals! When both are thrown and activated, contestants and objects can move between the two locations. Anyone can use a portal, but players can’t see or shoot through them! Perfect for a quick getaway, when things get hairy. 
  • The Data Reshaper for Mediums: a gadget that changes enemy fortifications (or any random objects for that matter) into something else entirely — like turning an enemy mine into a chair. Or an enemy turret into a table. Great for breaking through enemy defenses!   

Further, with Season 2, all builds are getting new weapons, with the Lights getting the 93R burst-fire machine pistol, Medium getting the new FAMAS burst assault rifle, and Heavys able to wield the new KS-23 slug shotgun. 

There’s more!

And with access to assets and source files, CNS has introduced its own Arena, SYS$HORIZON. This glitchy, neon-filled cityscape exists in the loading realm of the game show and features a mix of vertical and horizontal gameplay. Voxel bridges create pathways between buildings, and pieces of floating, glitched geometry allow contestants to parkour through the arena. Partially loaded and out-of-place, SYS$HORIZON is a sight to behold, especially at night.

Further still, THE FINALS Season 2 comes with Power Shift. This is an all-new, casual, 5v5 game mode where two teams compete to escort a platform through the arena. If interrupted by an enemy team, the platform grinds to a halt, or will be found switching direction entirely. You’ll want to be on your guard as the platform will tear through anything in its path and can be rocked by physics. Players can switch their contestants between respawns, allowing them to balance their teams on the fly and hone their skills to perfection. 

In Season 2, contestants can also compete in a revamped League System that improves the ranked play experience, with league rewards that up the stakes. A new Career Progression system offers weekly rewards from Seasonal Sponsors, allowing contestants to move from Rookie to Pro by completing contracts throughout the season.
