Everything new in The Finals Season 5

The Finals Season 5 is an important milestone in the game's journey and the update is loaded with content. Here's everything fresh that is coming to the game in Season 5:

New map

Season 5 for The Finals is bringing a new map for fans to dive in. Called Bernal, it is a "magical town" set in Mexico. Going in, expect streets of cobblestone at the heart of the map. That said, it wouldn't be a "The Finals" map if there wasn't verticality. Players can take advantage of the rooftops and traverse the map on their own terms. If that seems like too much work, they can always simply blow holes through the walls and make their way.

Introduction of Clubs

Club is a new social feature that will be added with The Finals Season 5. It allows players, be it solo or in a squad, to connect, collaborate, and compete for the Club Contracts, and earn XP. That's not all, though. It also allows players to easily find squad mates who are looking to team up to play the same mode.
