The best community clips from The Finals Season 5

The Finals Season 5 is here just in time for the holiday period and alongside a number of aesthetic festive updates and a brand new map, there are a few new weapons and gadgets to play around with too. The ShAK-50 is a hard-hitting assault rifle tailored for the Heavy class, while the Cerberus 12GA is a triple-barrel shotgun fit for Medium players.

Meanwhile, the Gravity Vortex is a Light class gadget that is essentially a mini black hole, vacuuming everything in the vicinity to its center, while the Lockbolt Launcher is a Heavy class-exclusive gadget that fires a projectile. This latches onto the environment and ensnares up to three targets simultaneously.

We’re a few days into Season 5 and the community have been cooking up some seriously impressive—and some hilarious—clips, so I’ve collated some of the best to feature in these highlights.

To round off the plays with the new gadgets, we have slipchips. Much like Lad, they fire their Lockbolt projectile right next to a launch pad so the enemies can’t get enough airtime, and while this takes out two of an enemy team, the third manages to get through just in time. That doesn’t stop slipchips though as they give the foe the ol' runaround, getting behind them and punting them off the map with the Heavy Charge ‘n’ Slam ability.

Speaking of Charge ‘n’ Slam, /u/fatcatpoppy is a huge fan of the classic playstyle as they perch at the very top of the map, waiting for the enemies to try and steal the cashout. When they eventually do, fatcatpoppy plunges to the ground and slams, killing two enemies in one before finishing off the third with their gun, not to mention completely destroying the building.

On the opposite end of the destruction-causing spectrum we have /u/Delicious_Option4914, armed with a cash box and a dream. This clip needs to be watched to be believed, because their talent at avoiding enemies and securing the bag is commendable. They dodge flames, bullets, falling debris, goo, and more to start the cash out, then still manage to escape out of a window with their life. As they say, it’s “straight out of an action movie”.
