Best Heavy build weapon in The Finals

Embark Studios

In The Finals Season 2, The Lewis Gun was one of the best Heavy build weapons. Although it comes with a low reload speed, its magazine size of 47 bullets and a balance in accuracy, damage, fire rate, and range compensate for that.

However, if you prefer taking down enemies at close range, then the Sledgehammer or SA1216 would do the job pretty well, but prove to be ineffective in long-range combat.

Best Heavy build gadgets in The Finals

The best gadgets for the Heavy build in The Finals are Pyro Grenade, RPG-7, and Goo Grenade.

You can combine the RPG-7 and Pyro Grenade to obliterate enemies who are trying to steal your Cashout. You can inflict a lot of damage if you use these highly explosive gadgets on a squad.

The Goo Grenade on the other hand blocks every type of incoming attack and lines of sight by deploying blubs of goo, providing enough room to catch a breath.

For specialization, you can’t go wrong with Charge ‘N’ Slam in The Finals for your Heavy build. It allows you to break through floors, obstacles, walls, and deal damage to enemies at the same time.

However, if you’re not in the mood to ram through your opponents, you may go with the Mesh Shield. It’s a protective shield that can block incoming attacks from the front but allows teammates to shoot through it at the same time, similar to how Rampart‘s Amped Cover works in Apex Legends.

Best Heavy build Reserve loadout in The Finals

For the best Heavy build Reserve loadout in The Finals, keep these four items: Flamethrower, Dome Shield, Pyro Mine, and C4.

Flamethrower, as the name suggests, emits a stream of fire that inflicts burning damage on opponents. Use that with the Dome Shield to provide limited-time 360-degree protection.

Pyro Mines and C4s are quite useful in dealing additional damage, especially when situations are intense or another squad tries to steal your Cashout.
