The Finals: An Exciting Introduction to the New Online Game

by Gideon Williams

The Finals is a team-based 3v3v3v3 shooter by Embark released on December 6th, 2023. The game has a virtual reality/TV show vibe about it, with two hosts: Scotty and June, with the former being a previous Finals contestant, who will comment on the gamers performance. The game's main mode is Tournament, where your objective is to reach the Finals and win. Here's how it works: cash-filled vaults will appear in different locations on the map, and your team must transport the vault to the cashout point to claim the money inside. However, the cashout process takes time, leaving your team vulnerable to attacks from enemy teams who may try to steal your earnings. Therefore, it's crucial to strategize with your team to protect the cashout until you secure the money and emerge victorious.

This mode is split into 3 rounds, with 8 teams of 3 in the first, 4 in the second, and 2 teams in the finals. You are supposed to get enough cash to qualify for the next round and not be in the knockout, where the two teams with the least amount of cash lose. The game also has a variety of weapons, ranging from shotguns, daggers, bows, spears, and more. You are also able to earn cosmetics for your characters by playing the in-game events, leveling up your career, or buying some clothes and weapon skins using the game's paid currency. The game also has other modes beside the tournament, like terminal attack, a mode where the attacking team has to deliver an encryption key to the terminal, while the defending team must make sure the key does not get in the terminal. This mode has 5 rounds, and the teams switch roles at the halfway point. There is also bank it, a mode where you collect coins dropped by killing enemies and deposit your money at randomly spawning deposit areas, but carrying too much money without depositing can make you visible to enemies who want to steal your money for themselves; the team that deposits the most money wins the game. Overall, this game is very welcoming to players looking to try the shooter genre of game, and it's free too. So maybe this little rant about the game can make new players try it out.
