Summary of "The Secret To This OP Solo Carry Light Build - THE FINALS"

The Secret To This OP Solo Carry Light Build - THE FINALS

Storyline & Context

The creator shares a versatile solo carry light class build designed for both solo queue and three-stack team play in the game THE FINALS. The focus is on maximizing the cloaking device’s effectiveness and adapting the loadout depending on team composition and map. The video also introduces the “Finals University” Discord community for improving gameplay skills and coaching.

Loadout Breakdown & Gameplay Highlights

Baseline Loadout

Gadgets: Cloaking device, H+ Infuser (healing), Gateway (teleport/escape), Breaching Charge
Weapons: XP54 (primary, preferred but not always optimal), with reserves including LH1, M11, ARN220, and 93R
Reserve Gadget: Glitch grenade (for utility and noise masking)

Cloaking Device Tips

Simplify character cosmetics to reduce silhouette complexity (avoid wings, crazy hair, etc.)
Move slowly and crouch to reduce visibility and noise; cloak is loud on activation and when moving fast
Use chaotic or busy backgrounds (bushes, trees, billboards, skybox/clouds) to blend better
Combine cloak activation with breach charge explosions to mask sound and visual cues

Weapon Choices & Strategies

XP54 is enjoyable but not always the best; M11 and M26 Matter excel in close-range maps
ARN220 is strong for mid to long-range engagements and sustained fights
93R is powerful for burst damage from stealth with headshots
LH1 offers a 2x headshot multiplier, enabling extremely fast TTK (time-to-kill) if mastered

Gadget Usage & Tactical Tips

H+ Infuser: Prioritize healing teammates before engaging; try to use full 20 rounds
Gateway: Best used as a selfish escape tool rather than aggressive repositioning since no dash ability is available
Breaching Charge:
- Place two charges on opposite sides of the cash out for guaranteed drops
- Use the third charge creatively (e.g., on fire barrels near cash out for damage and stall)
- Fire barrels light fuse and cause ongoing damage, effective for stalling enemy cash out attempts
- Combine breach charges with pyro or gas mines for area denial and defensive setups
- Avoid placing all breaches in one spot to maximize utility and surprise

Team Play & Positioning

Stay closer to teammates than typical dash light players due to lack of mobility
Communicate breach charge setups to coordinate pushes and defenses
Let teammates absorb initial damage; you should pick off weakened enemies with headshots after

Loadout Variations & Adaptability

Swap breaching charge for drop if no heavy or C4 is available on team, effectively covering heavy and medium roles as a light
Use glitch grenade or sonar grenade as alternatives for utility and team information gathering
Consider swapping healing infuser for sonar grenade in triple light or mixed comps to increase team intel

Key Tips & Strategies Summary

Simplify character cosmetics to enhance cloak effectiveness

Move slowly and use crouch to minimize cloak visibility and noise

Use chaotic backgrounds to blend in while cloaked

Mask cloak activation sound with breach charge explosions or glitch grenades

Prioritize healing teammates fully before engaging

Use gateway mainly for escape, not aggressive repositioning

Place breaching charges smartly around cash out for guaranteed drops and damage stalls

Combine breach charges with fire barrels and mines for area denial and meta counters

Stay close to teammates, communicate breach setups, and pick off weakened enemies

Adapt weapons and gadgets depending on map, team comp, and playstyle

Experiment with sonar grenades and drop for utility and flexibility in solo queue
