The Finals
The Finals Cashout Defense and Destruction
The Finals is a timer game that looks like a shooter. Teams that watch the cashout bar win more than teams that chase eliminations across a collapsing floor.
Play the box, not the sky
Hold angles that see the cashout, not the prettiest zip line. Destruction that opens a new peek for you is good. Destruction that opens a peek for them is not.
If the building is gone, the fight is a pit. Smoke and mines matter more than a sniper.
Steals need a distraction
One player stalls, one steals. Three players shooting the same Heavy is not a steal plan.
Leave a goo or barricade for the steal window. Dry steals in the open bounce.
Third-party the timer
Arrive when the bar is high, not at the start. Early fights donate the vault to the team that waited.
