class=\"caption-hold\"> <span class=\"im-image-caption\"> <i>Embark Studios<\/i> <\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick overview of the best build for the Heavy in The Finals.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Specialization<\/b> \u2013 Mesh Shield<\/li>\n<li><b>Weapon<\/b> \u2013 SA1216<\/li>\n<li><b>Gadgets<\/b> \u2013 Explosive Mine, RPG, Dome Shield<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our reasoning is that the Mesh Shield acts as protection for your team\u2013 they can sit behind you and shoot (like Reinhardt in Overwatch). It has had its health debuffed a little but it still provides vital cover.<\/p>\n<p>The SA1216 shotgun was one of the most overpowered weapons in the game and still is since it got nerfed in the 1.4.0 patch. It\u2019s ideal for close-quarters combat in buildings as they crumble down around you and will make short work of enemies.<\/p>\n<p>The RPG is great for longer-range engagements \u2013 especially countering snipers as it will destroy the room they are in or the wall they are behind forcing them to move but it too has seen a slight nerf.<\/p>\n<p>The explosive mine will help keep the Cash Out station in your squad\u2019s grasp for as long as possible. C4\u2019s lethality has been increased by the 1.4.0 patch too so you can swap out to this to experiment.<\/p>\n<p>The Dome Shield has also had its health slightly lowered but it will still go a long way to make sure you squad stays in the game and makes as much cash as possible.<\/p> <h3><b>Medium<\/b><\/h3>\n<div class=\"image-handler__container image-handler__container--aspect\"

class=\"caption-hold\"> <span class=\"im-image-caption\"> <i>Embark Studios<\/i> <\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re wanting a quick glance at the best build for the Medium class, take a gander at our recommendations below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Specialization<\/b> \u2013 Healing Beam (or Guardian Turret if already have a healer)<\/li>\n<li><b>Weapon<\/b> \u2013 AKM<\/li>\n<li><b>Gadgets<\/b> \u2013 Gas Mine, Defibrillator, Jump Pad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Healing Beam will keep you and your teammates\u2019 health topped up to keep you in the fight for as long as possible and the defibrillator will revive downed teammates.<\/p>\n<p>If you already have a healer, the Guardian Turret will offer up some extra firepower and act as a distraction as it bogs down other squads.<\/p>\n<p>The Gas Mine can be placed at the Cash Out Station when you\u2019re defending it to keep other players away from it.<\/p>\n<p>The AKM has low recoil compared to other Assault Rifles such as the FCAR which is great for shooting at longer ranges and controlling your shots in the fast-paced and hectic destructable map.<\/p>\n<p>Jump Pads are a reliable way to move around and are much faster than taking the stairs. Rubble can be hard and slow to traverse so simply yeeting yourself over a destroyed building is far more efficient.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Light<\/b><\/h3>\n<div class=\"image-handler__container

It will also allow you to get the drop on other players for ambushes.<\/p>\n<p>The XP-54 has a very short time-to-kill (TTK) and comes with a scope to help keep a bit of distance between you and people trying to run down your small health pool. If you\u2019re a dab hand with accuracy, the V9S pistol is also a great choice.<\/p>\n<p>The Stun grenade and Glitch grande also help even the odds by confusing enemy players and making them easier to kill as you dance around them.
