These small yet powerful devices can cause some real chaos when thrown out onto the field, especially when it comes to the Heavy, a class with gadgets that tend to be a lot more dangerous and explosive when compared to others.

The Finals: Every Heavy Weapon, Ranked

The Heavy class in The Finals has access to some pretty powerful weapons, but some are a little more reliable than others.

The Finals offers a plethora of gadgets for players to toy around with, but rather than going through every single one to try and find which is going to prove most useful, it can be worthwhile to do some research beforehand to know which are among the most reliable overall. The Heavy class is not limited to using just Heavy gadgets, so players should also consider incorporating gadgets like the gas grenade to enhance their build.

It May Be A Little Cumbersome, But The RPG Can Still Tear Down Entire Buildings

RPG-7 in The Finals

The RPG-7 can definitely feel a little cumbersome and clunky to use, but if players can get the hang of its wild accuracy, they’ll be able to crumble entire buildings with just a single rocket. It’s one of the best weapons in the game for environmental destruction, and since the Heavy is able to wield it, it means they can create crucial shortcuts and chokepoints for their allies to take advantage of.

Of course, it also deals a ton of splash damage and is also ideal for splitting apart enemy teams whose members tend to be sticking quite close to one another. This is also a great way to keep enemy healers away from their allies, which can really mess up a team’s structure and momentum.

5 Gas Grenade

The Gas Grenade Forces Enemies To Either Flee Or Fight

Gas Grenade in The Finals

A gas grenade might not seem like a very unique or exciting weapon, but the reason it is so powerful in The Finals is that it can essentially force an enemy team to run away from a gunfight unless they plan to continue taking damage. The grenade can be thrown out extremely quickly, so if a squad begins aggressively pushing, all it takes is a simple gas grenade, and they’ll be left to enter fight or flight mode, making them sitting ducks for the rest of the team to deal with.

The actual gas itself has a fairly large radius that can easily stink up a corridor or hallway, and the effect will linger around for multiple seconds, making it very hard to avoid. It might not deal an immense amount of actual damage, but the gas grenade still puts enemies in a very awkward position, which leaves them wide open for an attack.

4 Pyro Mine

The Pyro Mine Can Easily Catch Enemy Teams Off Guard With Its Lethal Flames

The Pyro Mine is perfect for slowing enemy teams down since it can cause a staggering amount of damage to anyone who steps onto it by accident. While it may be pretty easy to see, the fast-paced movement of The Finals means that most players won’t even notice it lying around before being engulfed by its flames.

The fire will stay around for a few seconds, so it’s ideal to set it down on tight corners and key areas where it can act as a kind of barrier. Skilled Heavy players will even be able to push enemies into the flames by using their Charge ‘N’ Slam ability, and while this can be risky, doing this can also finish off an entire squad when pulled off correctly.

3 Frag Grenade

Fast, Versatile, And Very Strong, The Frag Grenade Is A Reliable Gadget To Keep Around

Frag Grenade in The Finals

Frag grenades are the bog-standard equipment used in most FPS games, so while they might not be anything new, they’re still a very versatile weapon in The Finals, possessing a massive blast radius and offering plenty of splash damage potential. Similar to the RPG, the frag grenade can easily divide an enemy team, but the major advantage it has over that weapon is that it’s much faster to use, which counts for a lot in a shooter as fast-paced as The Finals.

Another added bonus is that the frag grenade barely even cooks before exploding, meaning that it will explode almost as soon as it leaves the player’s hand. This saves from having to time the perfect throw to deal a significant amount of damage; players can simply throw the grenade in the general direction of the opponent, and it will do the rest.

2 C4

C4 Can Cause Chaos When Thrown Into A Room Full Of Players

C4 in The Finals

As mentioned previously, environmental destruction plays a massive part in the core gameplay of The Finals, and no one is better at toppling entire buildings than the Heavy, especially when they have C4 equipped. Fast, explosive, and incredibly fun to use, the C4 is one of the most dangerous gadgets in the entire game, but while it’s a great offensive tool, it can also be used to support allies by blowing apart any debris that might be getting in their way.

It also needs to be noted that the C4 has a staggeringly long throwing range, so the player never needs to worry about being too close to the blast. This also allows the Heavy to create chaos without being a part of a fight, so if they spot two teams going at it inside a building, they can simply toss a C4 through a window from afar to rack up some extra kills.

1 Goo Grenade

Players Can Save Up Their Specialization Slot By Choosing The Amazing Goo Grenade Gadget

Goo Grenade in The Finals

Players who are familiar with the Heavy class will probably be aware that it is already capable of creating cover with the Goo Gun, but equipping the Goo Grenade frees up this slot to choose a different Specialization ability, making the Heavy much more versatile. For example, if the Heavy picks a Goo Grenade, which can help support the team by protecting them from incoming fire, they can also equip Charge ‘N’ Slam, which allows them to also have some offensive capabilities, too.

The grenade itself also doesn’t mess around when it comes to creating barricades, with it activating as soon as it’s thrown out, creating a small but durable wall that can be the decider between life and death when enemy teams are raining down bullets and grenades.
