The Finals Download: Free Destruction-Heavy Team Shooter

The Finals is set in a virtual game show where teams compete for cash in arenas modeled on real-world cities. Its signature feature is destruction: walls, floors and entire buildings can be blown apart, so the map changes throughout every round.

What makes it different?

• Server-side destruction: Every player sees the same collapsing buildings, which can open new routes or bury a cash box.
• Three builds: Light, Medium and Heavy contestants trade speed for health and carry different gadgets.
• Objective modes: Teams fight over vaults and cash-outs rather than simply chasing kills.
• Gadgets: Grappling hooks, jump pads, barricades and explosives encourage creative plays.
