How to use reserve loadouts in finals

Like other first-person shooter games, The Finals allows you to carry additional weapons and gadgets as a backup. While games like Call of Duty allow you to curate multiple loadouts, The Finals does things differently, which may be confusing for some players to understand. But don’t worry, we’ve explained how the reserve loadout system works and how to set it up. Additionally, we will teach you how to use the reserve loadout during the final match.

What is the reserve equipment for the final?

As with most FPS games, The Finals’ reserve loadout is exactly what it says. This is a set of additional weapons and equipment that allows you to switch your current loadout during a match. It works similarly to the loadout system in other online shooters, but the development team at Embark has added a twist to the concept.

In the final, you prepare a backup loadout before the match, but you can only choose between two different weapons or equipment. One of these weapon and equipment sets will be your active loadout during a match. Therefore, a set of other weapons and equipment will be your spare equipment.

Additionally, you can change your loadout and switch to a reserve loadout only if you are eliminated during a match.

How to change and use reserve weapons

Now that you understand the basics of Reserve Loadouts, let’s learn how to modify and use Reserve Loadouts in-game using the step-by-step process below.

Edit reserve equipment for final

First, edit your preliminary loadout in-game. This allows you to switch to your desired weapon to bring to the match. If you don’t edit this, the last used loadout will be used by default.

• In the main menu, click on the “Contestants” option on the right.

Three classes will appear on the right side of the contestant screen. Only the light build will remain unlocked when you first start the game, and you will need to play two matches to unlock both the medium and heavy classes.

• Then select the desired class and click Edit. Alternatively, there is an edit button directly below the selected class. This will open the customization menu .

• On the customization screen, the loadout on the left is the active loadout. The loadout on the right is a backup loadout.

• To edit your spare loadout, click on the weapon or equipment to open the list of available options and switch to your desired weapon/equipment.

You have now successfully changed your reserve loadout in The Finals. From here, you can easily use your spare weapons and equipment should you need to use them. Learn how in the next section.

Switch weapons using reserve loadouts

Now that you’ve learned how to change your reserve loadout, let’s take a look at how to use your reserve loadout in finals. Please note that you can only switch loadouts if you are eliminated from the game. You can also make changes just before the match starts.

• If you die during the game, you will see an option to change your loadout in the bottom left corner of the screen. Click this button to access your loadouts.

• Click on a weapon or equipment to exchange it for an item in your spare loadout.

Congratulations. Successfully replaced and modified spare loadout weapons and equipment in Finals. The system works differently than other games. However, if you don’t have to worry about attachments, this loadout system is a friendly approach. So what do you think about that? Let us know in the comments section below.
