The Finals players have discovered what seems to be a glitch that allows them to steal Cash Boxes through walls.

The Finals is a game that relies on its distractibility. Matches where entire buildings are reduced to rubble are common.

Fights inside buildings that are in the process of being destroyed, thanks to mines and other explosives, are also common as teams fight over Cashout stations and try to steal them. During those battles, the cash out can often be stolen while the enemy is hiding under a piece of rubble.

In a new glitch, players found that hiding in the rubble may no longer be necessary as the Cash Box can seemingly be stolen through walls.

In a video posted to Reddit, user PeaceGuy420 showcased how he was able to steal a Cash Box from a floor below the objective.

“I’ve done it a couple of times now and 95% nobody understands what’s happening. I imagine this will get patched in some form in the future. Always check if it’s possible because it’ll save you games like it saved mine,” the post said.

The glitch occurs when the structure is damaged severely, but not broken. This means players can theoretically soften up walls using explosives or other utility and steal a Cash Box right under the enemy’s nose.

Multiple players in the thread confirm that they have tried this out and that it has worked in their favor.

“Just did this last night in Vegas in a ranked final. Noticed it by accident. Pop an APS turret on the wall/ceiling beforehand and it’s a guaranteed steal,” one player said.

Whether this is an intentional mechanic or a glitch, is not known at the time of writing.

Embark Studios has yet to comment on the glitch, however it has been mentioned in the game’s Reddit and official Discord.
