Up and coming combat game, The Finals is gaining more recognition day by day. The game is in beta testing phase at the moment and only a limited number of players are given access. So, if you are curious about what kind of features are waiting for you in this game, you came to the right place! In this guide, we will share some beginner-friendly information about The Finals.
Beginner’s Guide
Before going any further, let’s find out what The Finals is all about. The game is a free-to-play combat-focused game show that is now going through beta testing. The users connect to a virtual environment and form teams to compete in arenas that are modeled after real-world locations. When players enter the arenas, they are assigned to teams. There are a total of 4 teams, with 3 players on each. The main objective in the arenas is to make your team earn more money than other teams.
How to Sign Up For Beta Testing
You can gain access to The Finals beta by signing up for the playtest on the game’s Steam page and waiting for permission to be provided. Only a small number of people who sign up will be given access via their Steam account, thus not everyone who joins up will have access to The Finals beta. If you are granted access, you will be notified through email and will be able to download the beta from The Finals’ Steam page.
Cashout Points
So, if you received access to the game, now you should get into the arenas and begin to play. The main goal of the gameplay is to secure more cash than other teams. To do that, you must bring the cash boxes from around the map to the cashout points in order to collect money for your team.
Placing the box inside the cashout point will give your team a good amount of cash. However, all the other teams will be able to see the location of this cashout point and they might try to steal it to lower your score.
While it is a challenge for the team that discovered a cash box and inserted it into the cashout point, it also offers a chance to counterattack even if your team is ranked lower than the other teams.
Maps
Currently, there are two maps available in the game.
- Seoul, South Korea.
- French Riviera, Monaco
While Monaco offers wider and more dispersed firefights while players spend some time on the beach or take a vacation and rest before returning to the killing and destruction of buildings, Seoul has players fighting within the skyscrapers of the city center. Each map thus has a distinctive vibe and ought to provide players with an idea of how The Finals functions in diverse contexts.
