Best Light build Weapon in The Finals

M11 has a very high rate of fire.

When it comes to choosing the best weapon for your Light build in The Finals, M11 can’t go wrong, especially after patch 1.5.0 as Embark updated its recoil pattern to make the weapon easier to control. Combine this SMG’s exceptional rate of fire with unpredictable movement and you’ll be one tough opponent to beat.

Although it lacks damage, it gets compensated by the fire rate, proving to be deadly at close-range combat. It has a pretty standard reload speed, but the only downside is its range. If you want, you may swap it with the V95 or XP-54, each costing 800 VR.

The best Gadgets for your Light build in The Finals Season 2 would be:

  • Gateway: This gadget is a deployable tool that comes in a pair and creates a portal through which both you and objects can travel.
  • Pyro Grenade: The Pyro Grenade wreaks chaos when accurately deployed, igniting enemies upon contact but be careful as its flames can also injure your teammates.
  • Smoke Grenade: Finally, the Smoke Grenade is an excellent choice for teams aiming to maximize their cash gains.

Best Light build Specialization in The Finals

An ideal Specialization for your Light build is the Cloaking Device. You can use it to make your character temporarily invisible when it’s not moving or hard to see during motion. If used correctly, the Cloaking Device also allows you to scout enemies for your team.

The Evasive Dash is a good alternative if you want to be unpredictable. Use it tactically to evade intense gunfights or simply outplay enemies at close ranges. If you’ve played Overwatch 2, consider this Specialization very similar to Tracer’s Blink ability. Either way, both Specializations are useful and you can switch accordingly.

The SH1900 is best suited for close encounters.

For your Light build’s Reserve loadout in The Finals, go ahead with the combination of SH1900, Goo Grenade, Frag Grenade, and Motion Sensor.

The SH1900 is a double-barrel shotgun that is capable of great damage while engaging in close-range combat, proving to be effective during clutch moments. Apart from that, the Frag and Goo Grenades can deal additional damage and block incoming attacks at the same time.

And lastly, use the Motion Sensor as the fourth gadget to track enemies within a certain range through walls. You can trigger it multiple times and gives your team enough info to be prepared for attacks or flanks while protecting a Cashout.
