THE FINALS Best Weapons & ALL Guns Explained With Tips

[@gravedigger4583]

The best? The hammer. The worst? The hammer.

[@zaxaphone4829]

Exactly right

[@merefailninja953]

In the right hands no cash out box is safe or its buried in so much rubble no one can steal it. On the other hand he's just a free kill

[@TheChrisLouis]

Hammer shouldn't be a primary. Should be something you take instead of shield or the charge ability.

[@gravedigger4583]

No. Hammer.

[@lamp_god9774]

As a light main who bought the throwing knives first I agree they are niche however nothing compares to getting a kill w throwing knives so I'm trying to master them wish me luck w the struggles in the beginning Edit: thanks for all the likes

[@CapFlipGaming]

Just pair it with dash ability. It's the easy mode for light

[@ExtremelyOnlineGuy]

Pro tip. They’re full auto. Just hold it down n dash n the timing is important with the dashing and with the heavy throw

[@arknlol]

Its better to wait for a buff

[@lamp_god9774]

@@arknlol why I'm already having decent success w them my biggest issue is aim which will come w time

[@lewis0705]

theyre good if youre a good player, but thats the same with most weapons. but theyre still probably the worst light weapon. the alt click especially needs changing. you should be able to charge and release on command

[@XDFdev]

I think lewis gun also has better and clear iron sights than M60. And less recoil makes it more accurate and long range weapon than anything. I have beamed player's from far away using Lewis gun than AKM and Fcar.

[@JaYLeGnD]

the m11 beams way more than the mp5 light wep aswell

[@Jarl_Ballin_69]

​@JaYLeGnD nah absolutely not. The M11 has abysmal range/recoil; it's meant to hose mfs with bullets at close range... the MP5 is more versatile

[@3692Halo]

No idea the lewis recoil I cannot get. I can beam with other guns but not the lewis.

[@yearoldsinger]

@@3692Haloyou’re probably focusing too hard on horizontal recoil and not enough on vertical recoil, the Lewis gun has much less horizontal recoil than other weapons and makes up for it with much more vertical recoil if that helps

[@3692Halo]

@@yearoldsinger yeah i tried on pc and i was able to do apex wiggle for no recoil but trying to replicate it on ps5 is a pain but thanks.

[@superbelo]

in regards to the sa12, if you are close enough, when it needs to pump do a melee instead, it does the pump and deals damage during that melee attack without having to do the animation for the pump

[@renzogrzeda6940]

U can also use the arm shield if you want cover instead of doing melee.

[@BEN24024]

the problem with snipers is always 'hitting your shots' but with hitscan in this game its a great option at all ranges + really good paired with movement and corner peaks

[@atagen2186]

I really dislike sniping in this game for the most part, not so much mechanically but it feels pretty pointless and spiteful when your main goal isn't to frag out. also deeply unfun to play against

[@SherryDC]

main problem with the sniper is that it only one shots lights, which use cloak alot, which counters the sniper. mediums don't get oneshot, and good mediums won't let u hit them twice. Also u need to play away from the objective even tho your role as light on defend is to interupt steals with stun gun. The gun just doesn't make sense.

[@marzialalfonzocanada888]

They're so annoying on the map with cranes they basically camp there and deal huge damage to everyone

[@andrewgreen8383]

@@SherryDCthey def need to switch it to medium or heavy. I played for the first time yesterday and was pretty disappointed

[@skyofstorms]

@@SherryDC I find the main use is as a heavy killer when paired with cloak. Since they're slower its often easier to headshot them and catch them off guard for an easy team finish

[@aaronsmith7143]

I just want more weapons! I can't wait to see where they go with this in the next year.

[@anthony-uh7wn]

I need a dual pistol

[@DonaldPrizwan]

less, but balanced weapons always leads to a more fun competitive shooter than a myriad of unbalanced weps. follow the csgo model. be happy playing the same guns for 10 years. atleast you get to play em for 10 years.... right.

[@Thawhid]

​@DonaldPrizwan 🤔ig but we do need an increase from now. It wouldn't create a surplus

[@DonaldPrizwan]

@@Thawhid i wish CS T's had a second, viable option, like CTs with suppressed/unS. both sides have a third viable "eco" rifle and everyone has 3-4 viable pistols. so with my "added" T side rifle, that brings us 10 guns, 4 of which you ONLY use on pistol rounds. so, realistically 6 guns, but really only 4 Rifles(M4/M4s(nearly identical in use, AK and my dream Ak alt). i forgot the awp but whatever. millions of players have been perfectly happy competing in "aim duels" rather than "wep build/attachment" duels. imo The Finals already feels like its in an amazing spot in terms of build/playstyle variability. i just dont want to lose the purity that comes with skill battles that was lost with 3 MILLION GUNS AND ATTACHMENTS... CALL OF DUTY!

[@MC-ns8gb]

​@@DonaldPrizwanmedium should at least get 3 more weapons, frankly it's kinda weird the support mid range class doesn't have a dmr but the light class does

[@silvergeneration]

I agree with your choices and reasons why! I also want to add that the huge mag size for the M60 is great for close-mid range when there's a lot of chaos, and multiple teams fighting. I've had 5 kills in a row with it without reloading, and the other guns don't really accomplish that.

[@paulgastelum2143]

This is what i was thinking too, i like playing up close so ive actually ran with the M60 for most of my playtime thus far

[@Mecreator]

fun fact: there’s also a glitch where you can delete your gun in the firerange What you only need to do is emoting en look at the emote form the front and that 2 times. And now you’ve deleted your gun Pretty weird btw because I discover that in the tutorial mode

[@RoboLivestreams]

I feel like the Light build is the only class around that's very personal and controversial when it comes to *the* best weapon in the game for itself.

[@themusketeer9458]

Played a round with sniper, and the last objective was in a flying buliding. It got raken down, and the objective was basically in the open. We had the objective, but both my teammates died. I set up on a nearby building, and watched the other 3 teams fight over the objective, and everytime a player started defusing, i took my time, aimed at their heads, came out of cloaked, and bang😂 got 4 kills and won rhe match, solo against 3 squads. So sniper has it's uses, but definetly not the best in normal circumstances

[@jaahuj]

One pretty useful tip for the SA1216 is when you shoot 3 times and you have 1 bullet left before it pumps, you can actually just hit the reload button, instantly switch your gun out and back and you'll have 4 bullets ready to be shot again. It's really really nice.

[@riddle1522]

Also a tip for the SA1216, it has no increased headshot damage, so aim it at the body, you'll do the same damage if not more because you will have more area to hit with your pellets.

[@SSJBlackarrot]

@@riddle1522that’s really good to know! Thanks!!

[@camfrog79]

[@mahleeky]

Great switch. Apex was getting stale. Love to see you switch it up and adapt

[@woshy358]

procrastinating going to bed huh?

[@CatOfCulture]

i noticed that too!

[@nikespikey3635]

Good catch bruh

[@ShaoShaoMienshao]

Some of these weapons have terrible spikes in their recoil, pulling hard to the left or right, such as the FCAR after about 5 shots. Makes the nicer sight seem pointless! Are there any tricks to help track moving targets with harsh recoil like that? Sometimes the FCAR just feels like its worse than the AKM in every way... My skill issue.

[@AlwaysOnA3Bar]

You solved your own problem in your message lol. At long range fire in a quick 5 round burst. To keep the recoil under control.

[@Hyldassims]

Funny thing is fcar kind of gets near zero vertical recoil with only a little bit of sideways around the last 1/3 of the mag

[@Hyldassims]

So kind of weird that you want the recoil to come back down if you're not used to controlling recoil, by burst firing, but at the same time the recoil improves drastically at the end of the mag lol

[@ItsJustRevenge]

As a light main I use either dashing or active invisibility with sword and honestly if you get the sword mechanics down you can easily team wipe just about anyone. I consistently win games and haven’t struggled in tourneys yet

[@Uncreative_Name]

Yeah, weaving behind enemy teams with the sword has been the most fun I've had in this game.

[@mckookie2967]

does sword feel better with cloak or dash

[@Potato_6-le7mt]

Ill be honest the throwing knifes have been working really well for me when combined with invis u can just melt heavy if ur aim is good

[@Distrocate]

Best guns: Heavy : SA1216, Lewis Gun Medium: akm best choice, second fcar but arguable Light: close range(V9S or XP-54) (SH1900 and cloak) Long range: SR-84 with grapple ability , LH1 underrated

[@popo74aa]

It's not really a pump, it's a crazy revolving magazine lol Each tube holds 4 shells and you're rotating to the next tube every 4 shots. I've honestly never seen this gun before but damn, cool design. Edit: found what it's based on - SRM1216 if anyone is interested

[@RvBnerd618]

This weapon was also in Black Ops 2. It was a pretty good shotgun in multiplayer.

[@tigranmamikonyan5124]

Great video. Agreed with everything except the M11. If the XP-54 is like the FCAR as you say, then the M11 is most certainly like the AKM. Guns of these choice combined with invis are mostly meant to be close range, which you would then likely hip fire. So recoil and accuracy don't matter as much. Thus M11 has a higher fire rate and more ammo, which means more potential to get a kill. I always get a kill with the full mag of the M11, but with XP it's a hit or miss sometimes. So for Light (being the class most complicated to choose a weapon) I really think there are only three options: the V9S (only if you're skilled enough), the M11, or the SH1900

[@GenevaSuggestionss]

M11 is for aggressive and sweaty players. I play fast and close so the m11 is a roaster for me.

[@glad57]

Wait why is m11 not good? It has better ttk than xp-54 so it makes it great for close range. IMO for an aggressive playstyle is arguably better. Idk why u said it has low dmg profile?

[@garrison4173]

Yeah that’s what I thought too. When I use the xp I notice that I kill way slower and I’m often close range so I like the m11 better

[@nightowl9519]

As a prolific wingman user, the revolver feels like home.

[@brentrandolph3361]

I found my people

[@shaquillegordon4747]

Honestly the revolver and the shotgun on medium are good they're just unforgiving

[@alexbranham1847]

i feel like for light the lh1 is the best all around option. good at all ranges, solid ttk, nice iron sights, mag size can be a little small but for light if youre fighting more than one person you’re probably dead anyways. going invis and being able to delete someone before they even turn around is incredibly easy with this weapon considering recoil isnt much of an issue as well

[@owenlassiter4717]

Yeah but the nerf in fire rate made it so much worse bro. It’s harder to use now for sure. I think the mp5 is definitely the best gun now bc in the beta the best gun was def the dmr

[@alexbranham1847]

@@owenlassiter4717 the mp5 is my second choice for “best weapon” for lights. quotations cuz i genuinely feel that all the guns are very balanced within the light class. however i am very much in love with the sniper despite it not always being the most effective

[@alexbranham1847]

i also didnt play before the lh1 was nerfed so i dont have any first hand experience for comparison

[@Aragao95]

lh1 still have a great ttk, all bodyshots on a medium was 0.9 secs, now is 1 sec, and it can 2 taps lights

[@East_Texas_Gaming]

I was using the throwing knives but they're too inconsistent with their damage. Sometimes two throws at close range kills a medium....other times, two throws at point blank range still leaves them a little health, enough to turn around and kill you before you can throw a 3rd time.

[@mang2970]

I would say the best part about this game is by far the creativity of the user. The hammer is the perfect example of this it is almost only pure ultilty based alowing the heavy to do stuff other class just cant like destoying the roof to drop the objective or destroying floor to make it harder to steal the bank while still destroying people or suprising people with the heavy charge.

[@Archaten]

Happy to see you play The Finals. I tried it out earlier today and I’m hooked. I started playing apex on console in August and played mobile before that and love Apex but it’s in a horrible state rn. The Finals just feels so fresh and dynamic with it’s gameplay.

[@jeremyz6911]

Yeah, I tried to play Apex after not playing for a few years, and now it feels like a looting simulator. This game has a lot more combat.

[@NoMainFlex]

why does everyone disregard the 1 shot potential of the dagger? paired with cloak it can wipe a team incredibly fast.

[@Slide-Benz]

listened to this whole video in my airpod while at work lol. came home and instantly switched my loadouts!

[@trevitone1111]

That weird animation bug happens when you use the mesh shield on the practice range

[@invictious8373]

the db shotgun is the most satisfying and vile gun ever to be created especially with cloak, although it works great wit hthe dash too

[@ryans3795]

The heavy shotgun is what I use, but I never roll with the shield. Charge is too much fun for me, it can close distances well, deal good damage, and I use it all the time instead of going through doors especially when I know where the enemy on the other side of the wall is. I also use mines to cover my weak areas in a room and use them as an alarm system for enemies.

[@yes-ho8xy]

The charge is just too fun

[@unlyricallyrics4152]

Tried playing with xp-54. Always does enough damage to almost kill and then I have to reload which gets me killed. I’m not on pc so my aim isn’t as good

[@melee9183]

Throwing knives are actually pretty good. They allow the mobility and strafe potential as melee weapons but still can poke at range. It takes time getting used to the windup and the projectile speed but once you do its really powerful.

[@SherryDC]

they really aren't compared to the other options, sure u can pop of with them but u need to be to close to the enemy to still be less consistent than the double barrel or pistol. They are fun but not good, at least if the opponents know how to shoot back

[@acegikm2274]

the right click is essentially useless, which they could fix by letting you hold it and let go when you want to throw them

[@Uhhhhh30]

​@acegikm2274 right click is fully accurate in midair unlike left click. You can also sprint and slide during the wind up. It's still not great but it has its moments

[@nicethaddy5955]

If you have to work harder to make something work then it's probably not really worth using. It just puts you behind the meta.

For the light I always love sh1900 with invisibility. It’s so much great to have that 2shot kill when you’re invincible, lol.

[@macklinwright3966]

When I’m feeling spicy I usually go for the revolver. She may only have 6 shots but oh boy does she deliver on headshot damage and satisfaction even with hip-fire once you tame her of course. All I’m missing is a cowboys hat

coming from 3k hours in counterstrike, my friend introduced me to the finals yesterday, and i really struggle with getting kills. Not because the aim isnt there obviously, but somehow, especially with the ak everyone says is so good, i struggle at literally any distance, it just feels wobbly and not really that crisp as i am used to from cs. Also the time it takes to kill someone feels somewhat "unsatisfying"... I really want to give the game a good chance because my friend likes it so much but yesterday evening wasnt really that much fun for me, and i cant even really say why i struggle, because the aim and movement is there.
