UPDATED Lore for THE FINALS Season 2

The Finals has a story and lore that is still developing, in this video I give a breakdown to make it as a simple as possible to follow along and to get ready for season 2.
All songs used were from a free lo-fi beat pack I found 6 months ago.

[@LJstyle121]

The lines about S lies could be Sofia CEO of ospuze. If S is referring to Scotty then that’s really funny cause right when the game released I had a head cannon that the whole Scotty was a contestant was just a sort of publicity stunt to make Scotty seem like a common man success story. Also I find it interesting how most of the free items in the finals has some sort of sponsor branding but the paid stuff doesn’t. I dunno these are just a couple of my thoughts on the lore. Anyways what’s y’all favorite sponsor, I’m a holtow rep all the way

[@GoTTABEFR3SH]

I'm repping OZPUZE.

[@retrospect8403]

been supporting ISEUL-T since the beginning

[@Knobody7]

Volpe all the way 💪💪

[@Blackout-5607]

Volpe sounds good to me

[@IAMNOWYOU]

VOLPE my main man since I got their exclusive bundle and in the lore their said to be part of the main manufacturers for the high tech weaponry like the turret and I think the stun taser

[@tristanfarmer9031]

CNS stands for Central Nervous System for those who didn't know.

[@GoTTABEFR3SH]

Thanks for that! I don't why I failed to mention that in the video.

[@crazierthorn10]

Also stands for Council for National Security

[@crazierthorn10]

Congress of Neurological Surgeons

Dude this is a sick video! Love your humour! :D hahaha.

[@GoTTABEFR3SH]

Thanks big dawg

[@brendin69]

OMG I found those white glitch things on the map before season 2 released and i knew it was hinting at something. Love this lore

[@WhoKnowsAnymore]

i like the lore, but your gameplay, the tricks with the c4 and tanks i've NEVER thought of. props to the video, research into the topic, and game skill

[@GoTTABEFR3SH]

Oh thanks for watching man! However, putting C4 on the tanks and barrels and throwing them no longer work. Now if you pick up a barrel with C4 to throw it, the C4 unarms until its on the ground again. You can still sit them on an objective just can't throw them and explode them like you used too.

[@stvcrvns]

CNS just wanted us to have more fun lol

[@connork8984]

You’re commentating was pretty funny yet educating

[@GoTTABEFR3SH]

Thanks bro! ❤️

[@josuesierra9595]

I don't know if this adds much but i found of "secret" in the game. If you are in the lobby, you press option on your controller, and go to credit we see that C.N.S. hacked the credit screen.

[@GoTTABEFR3SH]

Imma have to try this later today, howd you find this out. Did you just accidently press the button or what?

[@josuesierra9595]

Yea, I was just pressing buttons and I accidentally stumbled into this.

[@MDCKROW]

Really enjoyed this deep dive into "The Finals" lore and world-building! The way you laid out the game's universe and the intriguing role of sponsors and CNS hacking activities adds so much depth to the gameplay experience. The parallels you drew to cultural references were spot on and really got me thinking about the game in a broader context. Can't wait to see how the lore evolves in season 2. Great work!

[@GoTTABEFR3SH]

thanks big dawg!

[@AUEZisReal]

Definitely subbing

[@bakwechokoe4054]

Scotty is part of CNS, calling it

[@IAMNOWYOU]

One theory I heard was that June the female commentator is actually like a robot since in some of the in game videos that happens when you boot up the game you could hear her voice with some kind of echo when Scotty didn’t have the echo and in the same in game video June seems to comment on Scottie’s time in The Finals with a more suppressed tone which indicates he might not have been as good as people comment him to be

[@r-fitz9739]

The fact that Scotty has possible ties to a VR company calls his supposed skills into question

[@GoTTABEFR3SH]

Never thought of that tbh. Imagine he's an industry plant or something and Volpe was giving him some sort of unfair advantage to win and show people anyone can come and compete and be a success.

[@b.b4434]

that accidental triple made me hit that sub button. i was like aint no wayyyy

[@GoTTABEFR3SH]

That last bullet was playing no games, all bidness 💀😂 I actually didn't realize what had actually happened until I went to edit it. That why I was so nonchalant in the recording had no idea lol

@Ecarb1 Lawrence, Kansas. I went to Haskell Indian Nations University and The University of Kansas.

I can't wait for more to be uncovered. Whats crazy is I only covered surface level stuff there is miles of lore and conspiracies.

You got my sub from "Quemby Rutile...Rumb Tile....Rubtitty"

[@GoTTABEFR3SH]

Idk where I got the "B" from lmao 💀 thank you for subbing!

[@luxuriousluxxx]

This is underrated 😂

[@_lyraspan]

random thought.. do you think the sponsors might be a bit of an expression of having Nexon breathe down Embark's neck?

[@GoTTABEFR3SH]

Could be! Nexon does technically "sponsor" Embark.

[@chrissjogren6843]

It leads to Arc Raiders game!!!

[@fall5923]

Makes me wonder if June is an actual AI.

Will have to check it out

[@vortex6538]

Thanks for the video!😊 Although someone was able to explain what is happening in the game. So angry that there are no other languages ​​in the game. I live in Ukraine, and I don't quite understand what the presenters are talking about in the game. i just miss it all. Why can't they make subtitles in different languages, at least with machine translation. I even watch your video with subtitles and I don't have time to read because you talk so fast😂❤

[@GoTTABEFR3SH]

Well thank you for watching. I'm sorry about the language barrier. Hopefully, they will add more languages in the future! Does youtube do a somewhat decent job with the subtitles, at least?

[@vortex6538]

@@GoTTABEFR3SHyoutube makes subtitles 5/10 points. let's just say it's a pretty bad machine translation.

[@GoTTABEFR3SH]

[@nephiuwu]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="190">3:10</a> whyd you try to stun gun that guy through the slot machines? looks kinda sus

[@GoTTABEFR3SH]

Because I play double claw and I fat fingered the down on the dpad instead of the left dpad. So in the moment I'm thinking I have the invisibility bomb, which I had planned on throwing against the slot, but I had the stun out. That's what I didn't ads because I thought I had hit the button for the invis bomb.

[@GoTTABEFR3SH]

Idk It's like the only gadget that directly benefits the team because of its ability to knock people back from stealing cashouts. If heavies gets Rpgs and Shields and mediums get insta rez + healing beam than I think lights should get stun lol just my opinion thou 😅

[@jrra..373]
