What is the Terminal Attack game mode in The Finals?

The Finals recently unveiled its latest limited-time game mode as a part of the 2.6.0 update, which will arrive on May 2, 2024.

In this mode, at the start of each round, players are included in five-man teams and everyone is assigned as either an attacker or a defender. Attackers are tasked with delivering a Decryption Key to one of the terminals strategically positioned around the map and ensuring the transfer is completed to win the round.

On the flip side, defenders must counter the attacking team's efforts by preventing them from completing the objective and defending the terminal.

With teams having multiple ways to win matches in this mode, they can also claim victory in each round by eliminating every player on the opposing team, in addition to completing the main objective of delivering the encryption key.

There’s one more catch in this mode. According to the reveal trailer: this mode won’t have any kind of healing, reviving, or respawning. Players will have access to most of the arsenal, which includes guns, gadgets, and specializations.

However, the Healing Beam, which was used as a healing tool in other game modes, won’t appear in this mode. Its inclusion will contradict the only thing that makes this game mode unique: its restrictions on the type of healing equipment.

Players will compete in a best-of-seven round format, with the first team to secure four wins emerging will last approximately 20 minutes.
