In a sea of recent live-service struggles, The Finals has been a relative bright spot. Fighting hard in a genre long-dominated by the exact games that its former Battlefield devs used to make, The Finals' twists on the FPS formula seemed enough to garner hard-fought attention. That attention waned over its inaugural season, but the sense has been that repetition, not apathy, was a significant factor in that gradual decline. Now, with Season 2, The Finals is aiming to bring players the new content they've been craving - as well as a more surprising new addition.
Put simply, the headline change in The Finals Season 2 is everything that players have been asking for. Every class is getting a new gun - a FAMAS rifle for Mediums, a machine pistol for Lights, and a mean-looking slug shotgun for Heavys. In addition, each class is getting new gadgets or specializations intended to patch up the holes in their relative arsenals, or counter particularly potent enemy strategies.
