The Finals Character Specializations, Gadgets

Embark

In Embark's new multiplayer shooter The Finals, players have a variety of weapons they can use to defeat opponents, but guns are only one part of a player's kit: Specializations and Gadgets round out your loadouts and when used effectively are instrumental to success.

The Finals is in Beta now, and is a huge blast - literally. Members of Embark used to work on EA's Battlefield series, and have taken their talent for destruction to new heights for The Finals. Nearly everything in the game can be destroyed, leaving historic cities like Seoul and Monte Carlo smoking piles of rubble. The main game mode has players work in teams of three to capture cash boxes and take them to cashout stations for points, a bit like Capture the Flag, but with more explosions.

The Finals Character Specializations

Each character type in The Finals has a number of Specializations - essentially a unique ability. These are the most important part of your kit aside from your weapon.

Light Specializations: The Light class specializes in movement and stealth.

  • Cloaking Device
  • Grappline Hook
  • Evasive Dash

Medium Specializations: The Medium class specializes in supporting teammates and protecting cashout points.

  • Guardian Turret
  • Healing Beam
  • Recon Senses

Heavy Specializations: The Heavy class fortifies cashout points and also specializes in breaking down opponents' defenses.

  • Charge and Slam
  • Goo Gun
  • Mesh Shield

The Finals Character Gadgets

Each class also has a selection of Gadget items. A character can equip three of these at a time, and recharge after use like Specialization abilities.
