Best meta loadout for The Finals

The Finals offers three primary classes - Heavy, Medium, and Light. Players can choose any of these before diving into a match and build a meta loadout that suits their playstyle to secure more wins. However, some weapons have a higher impact on the match than others and help players score more eliminations. This introduces an ever-shifting loadout meta for different scenarios depending on the game mode in which players partake.

Players generally have a limited number of choices across all classes in terms of weapons. But new guns and equipment can be unlocked by grinding the game a bit to enjoy the advantage that comes with equipping a meta loadout. Once you get a hang of the game's ongoing meta, you can dominate almost all modes with tailor-made loadouts and crush the opposition.

This article will highlight the best meta loadout for The Finals alongside a brief description.

Best Class and meta loadout in The Finals

While the Heavy Class is undoubtedly one of the strongest on paper, mobility and ensuring quick eliminations is how players can earn wins in The Finals. For this job, the Light Class works best.

Light Class

The Light Class features a highly mobile playstyle, along with equipment designated to provide players with a balance between stealth, great mobility, and a very low time-to-kill. Our designated kit that is designed to be meta revolves very much around being stealthy, making the best use of the class's Specialization—Cloaking Device. Here's a detailed outline of the loadout.

Loadout:

• Specialization: Cloaking Device
• Weapon: V9S
• Gadget 1: Smoke Grenade
• Gadget 2: Flashbang
• Gadget 3: Gas Grenade

Reserve:

• Weapon: M11
• Gadget 1: Thermal Vision
• Gadget 2: Pyro Grenade
• Gadget 3: Stun Gun

The Light Class meta loadout revolves around being stealthy. Similar to the Stealth Build, the primary factor that makes this meta is the Cloaking Device, rendering players invisible. This very perk is what gives players the edge in every gunfight, giving a headstart of at least a few bullets when fighting enemies of other classes.

The V9S, a suppressed semi-automatic pistol, is our go-to gun for the meta. It provides impeccable value with its extremely long magazine, great accuracy, and, above all, the suppressed barrel. The Flashbang is a great engagement gadget.

The Smoke Grenade can act as a free card to steal cash from vaults while being a great distraction to swiftly make your way into the shadows unnoticed. The Gas Grenade further allows players to contest objectives, using it as an engagement tool to prevent players from stealing their cash during the deposit missions.

Those uncomfortable with a semi-auto weapon can swap the V9S with the M11 SMG. This gun also has a suppressor and the capability to one-clip Light Class enemies with ease.

Furthermore, especially for night maps, we recommend running the Thermal Vision with the Smoke Grenade, which acts as a powerful combination to land squad wipes.
