- This clever and comical tactic showcases the creativity and freedom given to players in The Finals, which has quickly become a popular hit with over ten million players.
A fan of The Finals uncovered an interesting new strategy for utilizing the game's Guardian Turret ability. The Finals gives players a wide variety of ways to take advantage of the game's environment, and this newest trick might be one of the best.
The Finals allows players to tune their approach to the game by offering a varied selection of abilities and gadgets to choose from. The new shooter title has become known for its destructible and highly interactive environment, allowing players to destroy buildings and fight among the rubble, as well as letting users place various kinds of traps, sensors, and movement tools around the map. While this newest trick applies to The Finals' Medium class and its abilities, class users of all types can benefit from knowing this comical and useful strategy.
Reddit user El-hammudi21 posted a video to The Finals subreddit that shows them and their teammates placing multiple Guardian Turrets and an APS Turret on a chair, before picking up the chair and unleashing mayhem on surrounding enemies. This tactic turns the chair into a mobile ball of death lined with turrets, and additionally, the APS Turret offers mobile protection from enemy projectiles. However, some commenters cautioned that the strategy isn't always effective, due to the Guardian Turret's long lock-on time and limited field of fire. But if one is playing with friends who are helping protect the chair carrier, or whichever object the turrets are attached to, then it can be a useful and hilarious tactic if the turrets are facing towards the enemy.
Tricks like this one are what give The Finals its charm, as it showcases the freedom given to players as well as the game's impressive physics. An ability like the Guardian Turret, which might seem a bit one-dimensional at first glance, can be utilized in new ways thanks to a player's creativity. Other abilities within the new shooter title, like The Finals' Evasive Dash, provide players with additional ways to master the game and outplay opponents. This unique and refreshing approach to the shooter genre has quickly catapulted The Finals to the top of gaming charts.
The Finals amassed over ten million players just 15 days after its release, proving that the innovative title is a hit with fans around the globe. However, the popular game hasn't been without controversy. Like most multiplayer shooter games, cheating quickly became a prevalent issue, and The Finals' developers have scrambled to bolster the game's anti-cheat system.
Also, some PC fans of The Finals claimed that aim assist is too strong for controller players, leading to an unfair advantage over mouse-and-keyboard users. It seems likely that The Finals' development team will eventually address this issue, but it's unclear whether it will significantly redesign The Finals' aim-assist system.
