Everything New in THE FINALS Season 4
Fortune Stadium: The New Map
Season 4 of THE FINALS introduces Fortune Stadium, a fresh map that brings the game back to its game show roots. Similar in design to Skyway Stadium, Fortune Stadium features specific areas dedicated to each of the season’s three main sponsors: HOLTOW, ENGIMO, and ISEUL-T.
Sponsor Contracts and Rewards
In this season, players can sign contracts with one of three sponsors: HOLTOW, ENGIMO, or ISEUL-T. Completing these contracts earns XP and Fans for the chosen sponsor. The more Fans you gather, the more rewards you unlock, including exclusive cosmetics. However, once you pick a sponsor, you can’t switch, so choose wisely.
New Weapons in Season 4
While there are no new specializations or gadgets this season, players can look forward to one new weapon per build. Here’s a breakdown:
- .50 Akimbo (Heavy): Two Desert Eagle pistols that pack a punch with a stylish reload animation.
- Pike-556 (Medium): A marksman rifle ideal for long-range combat.
- M26 Matter (Light): A pump-action shotgun designed for close-quarters battles.
Sights and Scopes Customization
Season 4 adds a new layer of weapon customization with the introduction of sights and scopes. These attachments, mostly for rifles, can be unlocked for 800 VRs, allowing players to enhance their aiming precision.
