Keeping Your Crosshair on Target in The Finals
The Finals is a hero-based shooter that combines COD-style gunplay with destructible environments similar to Battlefield 6 and class-unique abilities reminiscent of Team Fortress 2. The high TTK paired with the fast-paced combat makes it a unique game in regards to the mechanical subsets it requires you to focus on.
While playing The Finals, you will be required to deal consistent damage to targets in order to deplete their health bar fully, and this is especially true in engagements where you are dealing with the heavy class, as the heavy class has more health points than the light and medium classes, at the cost of having lower movement speed and a larger hitbox.
If you come from a background of tactical shooters, such as Counter-Strike 2 or VALORANT, chances are you feel uncomfortable with the prolonged engagements required within The Finals, especially when they require you to track your opponents throughout. Tracking is a crucial component of all high TTK games, and The Finals is no exception to this rule. You will need to work on your ability to maintain your crosshair’s position fixed on a dynamic target’s player model, which is exactly what we will be training in the following segment.
The featured task aims to improve your ability to maintain high accuracy while tracking targets across extended periods. It will spawn two humanoid bots at a time and prompt you to eliminate them as they emulate a real player’s movement.
The bots will rapidly regenerate their health points when they do not take damage. You will need to track targets actively, dealing consistent damage to prevent them from healing. React to their directional changes, and focus on one target at a time rather than getting overwhelmed and trying to split the difference between the two.
