The Finals

The Finals Release Date: October 26, 2023 (Early Access) Developer: Embark Studios Platforms: Windows PC, Microsoft Xbox Series S/X, Sony PlayStation 5 Genre: First-person shooter

The Finals is a competitive multiplayer FPS game developed by Nexon subsidiary Embark Studios. It is set in a virtual televised gladiator style game show, with gamemodes generally consisting of multiple teams competing to accumulate the most in-round cash to win. There are three classes in The Finals - Light, Medium, and Heavy. Each has unique weapon and loadout choices, and fulfills different roles in gameplay. The game also features highly destructible terrain in its levels inspired by various urban landscapes such as Seoul or Monaco.

The following weapons appear in the video game The Finals:

Pistols

Beretta 93R

A Beretta 93R was introduced for the Light class of Season 2/Update 2.0.0. It fires in 3-round bursts; presumably to prevent an incomplete burst at the end of a magazine, its 20-round magazines hold 21 rounds in-game.

Desert Eagle Mark XIX

Added in Season 4, the Heavy has access to a pair of Desert Eagle Mark XIX pistols as a primary, collectively called the ".50 Akimbo".

The Heavy takes a glance it his magnums with the right one emptied. It still reloads in the non-empty manner in this state.

Laugo Alien

The Light class can unlock the Laugo Alien (named "V9S" in-game) as one of its primaries. It comes standard with a suppressor.

Taurus Raging Bull

The Taurus Raging Bull is available from the start as a reserve option for the Medium role. It has the in-game designation of "R.357," despite being a .44 Magnum Taurus model. In-game the revolver has an 8-round capacity, and while the .44's frame could fit an 8-round cylinder of .357, the gun visibly uses a six-loader.

The "Snub Nose" skin turns it into the snubnosed variant.

Smith & Wesson Schofield Model 3

The "Horizon Hammer" skin turns the Raging Bull into a nickel-plated Smith & Wesson Schofield Model 3 with ivory grips. It is correctly shown as single-action only, with the user cocking the hammer with their left palm after every shot (though it cannot be continuously fan-fired, both due to its status as a reskin of the Raging Bull and possibly in reference to the fact that the Schofield's lockwork doesn't allow the hammer to be cocked with the trigger pulled). The reload animation is far less correct, however: rather than replacing the contents of the cylinder, the player character replaces the entire cylinder with a fresh, loaded one; the cylinder is simply shaken out of the gun with a flick of the wrist, as though it was only being held in place by the frame itself. Precisely why this was done is not at all clear; the Schofield automatically ejects the contents of the cylinder when opened, so reloading it with a speedloader or moon clip wouldn't reasonably be any slower than replacing the cylinder this way (especially given that the standard reload ends with a flashy spin, seemingly solely to make it as long as the Raging Bull's).

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

A Heckler & Koch MP5A3 is an unlockable SMG for the Light class, referred to as the "XP-54" in an apparent reference to the MP54/HK54 prototype variant. It comes equipped with a reflex sight.

C-More Systems M26 MASS

Added in Season 4, the M26 MASS is an available primary option for the Light class, under the name "M26 Matter" (presumably in reference to how mass is an inherent property of all matter). It holds an incorrect 8 rounds in its 5-round magazines (though this can be handwaved by The Finals being a kind of VR/AR gameshow, effectively a game within a game).

KS-23M

The KS-23 was added to the Heavy's loadout with Season 2. It fires slug rounds and holds five shells (two more than it should, though the same logic applied to the M26 can be used once more here) in its magazine tube.

From empty, the Heavy right-hands in the first shell in the chamber, then sends the action forward...

...then shoves in the next four shells in duos...

The last shot is left-handed in. This is how it tops off when non-empty reloading.

SRM Model 1216

The Heavy class can unlock the SRM Arms Model 1216 as its shotgun, named "SA1216" in-game.

Sawn-off Double Barrel Shotgun

A Sawn-off Double Barreled Shotgun is an option for the Light role, under the name "SH1900".

When empty, the final round is chamberloaded instead.

Chiappa Triple Threat

Added in Season 5, the Chiappa Triple Threat is another unlockable shotgun for the Medium class, under the name "Cerberus-12". It features a non-standard synthetic pistol grip stock, and fires incendiary shells.

Rifles

AKM

The AKM is the starting weapon for the Medium role. It uses regular 30-round steel magazines, but has a 32 (36 prior to Season 4) round capacity in-game.

AKM - 7.62x39mm

The AKM in the loadout. It is painted all black by default.

Aiming the AK. It has a windage adjustable RPK rear sight.

It always reloads with the old magazine kicked away by the new one - reserve ammunition is unlimited in The Finals, so there's not really a need to retain magazines.

From empty, the character does this with their left hand inverted.

Rocking in the mag.

And quickly charging the AKM.

FAMAS Valorisé

Introduced in Season 2, the FAMAS Valorisé is available as a burst-fire rifle for Mediums. Similarly to the Beretta 93R above, its magazines' capacity has been increased (from the proper 25 to 27) to prevent an incomplete burst at the end of a magazine.

FN SCAR-H STD

Named "FCAR" in-game, the FN SCAR-H STD is an unlock for the Medium kit, and is equipped with a mock EOTech sight. As of Update 2.6.0, its mag capacity is increased from the proper 20 to 25.

Third Generation FN SCAR-H STD - 7.62x51mm NATO

Kel-Tec SU-16CA

Added in Season 4 as an optional primary weapon for the Medium class, the Kel-Tec SU-16CA appears as the "Pike 5.56", fitted with a (removable) scope by default, and feeding from 10-round magazines that hold 12 rounds in-game.

Sako 85 Finnlight II

The Finals' only sniper rifle, the Sako 85 Finnlight II is available as the default reserve option for the Light class. It is named the "SR-84."

ShAK-12

The Heavy role gained a ShAK-12 as an unlockable weapon in Season 5, though it oddly fires two projectiles with each trigger pull. The in-game version is called the "SHAK-50."

ShAK-12 - 12.7x55mm

M60

A M60 is the default primary weapon for the Heavy class. It feeds from 70 round belt boxes.

Launchers

Airtronic China Lake

The Medium kit has access to the conceptual modernized China Lake Launcher that was an unfinished prototype by Airtronic. It appears under the name "CL-40" and has a maximum capacity of 5 rounds as of Update 4.2.0, compared to the real China Lake's 4.

Airtronic China Lake prototype - 40x46mm

The 21st century China Lake in the loadout preview.

A Medium wields the China Lake on the test area's forest.

It aims in typical FPS fashion, without any real use of the sights.

The inspect shows a slight chamber check, though the action bars aren't synced and don't roll back with the pump and bolt.

It functions fine when fired, though. Perspective issues appear to make the ejected casing quite stubby.

Chamber-loading the Airtronic when empty.

It is held upside down to load up the magazine with the right hand.

LMT 37LMTS

Added in Season 3, the Light class's "Thermal Bore" gadget is an LMT 37LMTS fitted with a low-powered scope and a non-standard stock, and with the real weapon's integrated foregrip removed; as the name implies, it fires a fictional round that (seemingly via thermite) bores its way into walls and surfaces before exploding. Rather strangely, this projectile is perfectly accurate, and doesn't drop at all at long range; this, in combination with the scope, allows for precise destruction of obstructive structures (though it can't start fires on anything other than foam, for whatever reason). The Thermal Bore is decidedly more of a "gadget" than a weapon; fired rounds will simply pass through enemies, and the explosion (despite being able to rip a rather large hole in a concrete wall) does downright laughable damage as well.

LMT 37LMTS - 37mm

Milkor MGL Mk 1S

A Milkor MGL Mk 1S is available to the Heavy, under the name "MGL32." Compared to the Airtronic China Lake, it fires rounds that have a bounce and delayed explosion - so it requires a fair bit of leading shots on moving targets.

Grenades & Explosives

M67 Hand Grenade

The "Frag Grenade" is a M67 hand grenade.

It can also be inspected when drawn; this shows off its slightly off-model shape, with a near-spherical body and oddly thick "neck".

Mk 2 Hand Grenade

The "Bubblegum Blast" and "Sofia's Special" skins for the Frag Grenade turn it into a Mk 2 hand grenade.

TMRP-6 anti-tank mine

The "Explosive Mine" gadget available to the Medium and Heavy classes is a TMRP-6 anti-tank mine; as the game lacks tanks, it is predictably shown as an anti-personnel mine, with a video-gamey proximity trigger and blinking light to make it more obvious. The mines are simply thrown onto the ground (or any other surface they hit, regardless of orientation), and arm themselves 1.6 seconds afterwards; for balance reasons, mines detonated prior to this (i.e. by direct damage) will deal considerably less damage. Two mines are available at any given time (on a recharge timer); throwing a third will cause the first to explode automatically, again for balance reasons.

Miscellaneous

Dan Inject Model JM

The Light class's "Tracking Dart" gadget is launched from a Dan Inject Model JM dart rifle; it is fitted with a scope, and (as with most other weapons and gadgets in The Finals) is painted black by default. Gameplay-wise, it does exactly what the name implies - any enemy hit with a dart will become temporarily visible to the user and their team through walls. Curiously, its reload animation only shows the pressure tank being replaced, with no new dart ever being loaded into the breech.

Dan Inject JM Standard Model - 11mm/13mm darts

X26 Taser

The Light class also has access to an X26 Taser as a "Stun Gun."

Aiming upon the noncompliant dummy's torso.

As with the RPG, it has a cooldown period first then can be redrawn and reloads after use.

M1911 (unusable)

The "Ornamental Sidearm" cosmetic is a chest-holstered, unusable M1911 pistol.

Remington Model 1911 R1 - .45 ACP. Similar to the in-game gun.

The "Ornamental Sidearm" in the store menu. It's just as well that it's cosmetic - actually trying to draw a handgun holstered in this manner would be unpleasant for a wide variety of reasons, not leastly the amount of friction that'd be necessary to stop a gun in this position from falling out of what appears to be a purely tension-fit holster.
