How to use Reserve loadout in The Finals & switch weapons

First things first, you cannot use your Reserve Loadout while you’re alive in The Finals. The option to switch your loadout is available only when you are eliminated and waiting to respawn.

While you’re spectating, look for the button prompt on the bottom left of the screen that says “Change Loadout”. By default, this will be the ‘Square’ button on a PlayStation controller, the ‘X’ button on an Xbox, and the ‘J’ button on a PC.

Here are the steps to use your Reserve loadout in The Finals:

1. Wait for your elimination.
2. Click on the ‘Change Loadout’ button while you’re spectating.
3. The Reserve loadout will show up. Now swap the weapon and/or the gadgets you’ve assigned there.
4. Simply respawn and you’ll have your new loadout.

So, there you have it, that’s how you can use the Reserve loadout in the game. To know more about The Finals builds and other guides, be sure to check our content below:
