What is Specialization?
Specializations are unique abilities exclusive to each class. These are the basic abilities that define a build. For example, light-build Specializations specialize in movement, medium-build Specializations specialize in support, and heavy-build Specializations specialize in defense. Every Contestant spawns with 1 Specialization and plays the whole match with that one ability. Players can use these abilities at any time during a game to help them in a fight or to survive a situation.
How Many Specializations Are There?
In The Finals, there are a total of 9 Specializations, 3 for each class. Every specialization is equally important, depending on playstyle and situation.
Which Specialization Should You Use?
Now that you know what Specializations are, let’s go deeper and find out which will suit you the best. Note that none of the Specializations are more impactful than their counterparts. Rather, it depends on your playstyle, preferences, and team combinations. This article will help you know the details about every Specialization and the most impactful use of them.
So, without any further ado, let’s begin.
Light Build
Light-build Specializations are tailored for movement. There are three Specializations available for Light-build: Grappling Hook, Cloaking Device, and Evasive Dash. These abilities give light players an extra boost to engage in gunfights and run away with the cash. We’ll go over every Specialization and try to explain which ability is best for what kind of playstyle and situation.

The Finals is a chaotic game. A lot of things happen at once. With the cloaking device, you can take advantage and get close to your enemies. You can pair the Cloaking Device with a Shotgun or Sword, and you can be quite a nuisance for your enemies.
Evasive Dash

Evasive Dash is another movement-based Specialization. This works just like the Tailwind of Jett from VALORANT or Tracer’s Blink ability from Overwatch. However, the dashes are best used in between combats to throw the enemy’s aim off of you.
You can use Evasive Dash to close the gap between you or your enemies in a gunfight. It is also useful when you secure the cash and want to run away fast.
Medium Build
Medium Build Specializations are made for support. There are three Specializations available for Medium-build: Healing Beam, Guardian Turret, and Recon Senses.

The Guardian Turret is your best friend while you are trying to lock down an area. It will shoot any enemy in the range, revealing the position to you. It is best used in modes like Quick Cash, where you need time to deposit the cash; the Guardian Turret will watch your back!

Recon Senses works like a wallhack. You can see your enemies’ movement even through objects. It’s just like the Sonar Grenade but for a much longer duration.
The Recon Sense is best used when you need to take fights- it will give you an advantage in revealing the enemy’s positions. Especially in Bank It mode, where you don’t need to hold down a place for longer but rather want to locate your enemies faster. Pair this with an AKM or FCAR assault rifle; you can be a force to be reckoned with in any fight.
Heavy Build
Medium Build Specializations are made for support. There are three Specializations available for Heavy-build: Charge ‘n’ Slam, Goo Gun, and Mesh Shield.

You can use Charge ‘n’ Slam when you get stuck in any fights and need to get away. You can Charge through walls or obstacles to create new paths to run away from your enemies. While this ability does not help that much with the game’s objective, it is helpful to create destruction around you.
Goo Gun

You can use Goo Gun to create the much-needed cover for your team while you are depositing the cash in Quick Cash Mode. Even in Bank It, this utility is as helpful. With good map knowledge, you can keep your team safe for a brief moment and complete the objective, or rather heal yourselves to prepare for the next fight.
