THE FINALS is back with a new season that’s all about the spirit of the greatest gameshow in the world. With plenty of new additions, here’s everything you need to know to reach the finals in THE FINALS season four.
Everything included in THE FINALS season 4
New map, Fortune Stadium
THE FINALS goes back to its classic gameshow theme with the Fortune Stadium. The map is similar to Skyway Stadium in terms of design but features dedicated areas for each of the three main sponsors of season four: HOLTOW, ENGIMO, and ISEUL-T.
Sponsor contracts and rewards
Sponsors are a new way for you to progress in THE FINALS and earn new rewards. In season four, you can choose to sign with one of the three sponsors: HOLTOW, ENGIMO, and ISEUL-T. Complete seasonal contracts to earn XP and Fans for the sponsors. The more Fans you earn, the more rewards you can unlock, including exclusive cosmetics.
Choose wisely as you can’t sign with a different sponsor after making the choice, so it’s time to fulfill your contractual obligations.
New weapons
While season four doesn’t have any new specializations or gadgets, one new weapon per build should keep you occupied when exploring the Fortune Stadium or climbing leaderboards of the World Tour.
Here are all the new weapons in THE FINALS season four:
- .50 Akimbo (Heavy): Two .50 Desert Eagle pistols for extra power and a stylish reload animation.
- Pike-556 (Medium): Marksman rifle to take on your enemies at longer ranges.
- M26 Matter (Light): A pump action shotgun for up close and personal encounters.
Sights and scopes
Season four adds sights and scopes as a new level of customization to your weapons. Multiple weapons (mostly rifles) now have one additional sight you can unlock for 800 VRs. It’s a new way for you to spend stockpiled VRs and get an edge in the competition.
Ranked Tournaments
In response to player feedback, Ranked Tournaments are back as a core competitive mode of THE FINALS, replacing Terminal Attack. Ranked Tournaments don’t have gameshow events anymore to make matches more competitive.
Balancing changes
Season four is packed with balancing changes and dev notes for weapons, gadgets, and specializations. While there are too many changes to count, here are some of the biggest balancing adjustments in THE FINALS season four:
- Breach Charge: Increased ammo from two to three and increased cooldown from 26 to 30 seconds.
- Explosive Mine: Decreased ammo count to one; decreased cooldown from 30 to 15 seconds; decreased maximum damage from 140 to 120.

- Glitch Trap: No longer shows hit markers and the maximum ammo is decreased to one.
- RPG-7: Decreased damage from 140 to 100 and increased reload from 0.9 to 2.15 seconds.
