The Finals is a competitive multiplayer FPS game developed by Nexon subsidiary Embark Studios. It is set in a virtual televised gladiator style game show, with gamemodes generally consisting of multiple teams competing to accumulate the most in-round cash to win. There are three classes in The Finals - Light, Medium, and Heavy. Each has unique weapon and loadout choices, and fulfills different roles in gameplay. The game also features highly destructible terrain in its levels inspired by various urban landscapes such as Seoul or Monaco.

The following weapons appear in the video game The Finals:

Pistols

Beretta 93R

A Beretta 93R was introduced for the Light class of Season 2/Update 2.0.0. It fires in 3-round bursts; presumably to prevent an incomplete burst at the end of a magazine, its 20-round magazines hold 21 rounds in-game.

Laugo Alien

The Light class can unlock the Laugo Alien (named "V9S" in-game) as one of its primaries. It comes standard with a suppressor.

Taurus Raging Bull

The Taurus Raging Bull is available from the start as a reserve option for the Medium role. It has the in-game designation of "R.357," despite being a .44 Magnum Taurus model.

The "Snub Nose" skin turns it into the snubnosed variant.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

A Heckler & Koch MP5A3 is an unlockable SMG for the Light class, referred to as the "XP-54" in an apparent reference to the MP54/HK54 prototype variant. It comes equipped with a reflex sight.

Heckler & Koch MP5N with Navy trigger group and threaded muzzle - 9x19mm Parabellum

Loadout view of the MP5. Its magazines have a bit of an exaggerated curve.

Aiming - the optic has a chevron reticle.

Shotguns

KS-23M

The KS-23 was added to the Heavy's loadout with Season 2. It fires slug rounds and holds five shells (two more than it should, though this can be handwaved by The Finals being a kind of VR/AR gameshow) in its magazine tube.

KS-23M without stock - 23x75mm R

Loadout preview of the KS-23M.

A Heavy brandishes his shorty 23mm shotgun on the test zone.

The sights aren't even used; they aim it old school FPS style.

The slugs here appear to blow up a fantastic dirt cloud upon shooting the natural terrain, with a seemingly explosive effect.

Cycling the KS-23's action, with a spent 23mm case sent out.

From empty, the Heavy right-hands in the first shell in the chamber, then sends the action forward...

...then shoves in the next four shells in duos...

The last shot is left-handed in. This is how it tops off when non-empty reloading.

SRM Model 1216

The Heavy class can unlock the SRM Arms Model 1216 as its shotgun, named "SA1216" in-game.

Sawn-off Double Barrel Shotgun

A Sawn-off Double Barreled Shotgun is an option for the Light role.

Remington Spartan Sawn-Off shotgun - 12 gauge

A Light takes a peek at the café menu with his sawn-off shotgun.

Aiming below the menu sign, not that there's any sight bead left on this thing.

Thumbing out two shells of the unfired variety. Even the brass is marked with The Finals' logo.

Two more are reloaded in.

Winchester Model 1887

The Winchester Model 1887 is the unlockable shotgun for the Medium class.

From non-empty states, the user ejects the unfired chambered shell...

...catches, and returns it to the pipe.

Two more buckshot rounds are shoved into the magazine.

When empty, the final round is chamberloaded instead.

Rifles

AKM

The AKM is the starting weapon for the Medium role. It uses regular 30-round steel magazines, but has a 36 round capacity in-game.

AKM - 7.62x39mm

The AKM in the loadout. It is painted all black by default.

The AK in the test area.

Aiming the AK. It has a windage adjustable RPK rear sight.

Inspecting its right side.

It always reloads with the old magazine kicked away by the new one - reserve ammunition is unlimited in The Finals, so there's not really a need to retain magazines.

From empty, the character does this with their left hand inverted.

Rocking in the mag.

And quickly charging the AKM.

FAMAS Valorisé

Introduced in Season 2, the FAMAS Valorisé is available as a burst-fire rifle for Mediums. Similarly to the Beretta 93R above, its magazines' capacity has been increased (from the proper 25 to 27) to prevent an incomplete burst at the end of a magazine.

FN SCAR-H STD

Named "FCAR" in-game, the FN SCAR-H STD is an unlock for the Medium kit, and is equipped with a mock EOTech sight

Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 16

The Light role has a Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 16 as one of its unlockables, under the in-game name "LH1."

Sako 85 Finnlight II

The Finals' only sniper rifle, the Sako 85 Finnlight II is available as the default reserve option for the Light class. It is named the "SR-84."

Machine Guns

Lewis Gun

The Lewis Gun is available as an unlock for the Heavy role. The original ladder rear sight is replaced with a giant open ring.

Lewis Gun - .303 British

M60

A M60 is the default primary weapon for the Heavy class. It feeds from 70 round belt boxes.

M60 - 7.62x51mm NATO

In with a new belt box.

Closing the top cover with a smack fast enough that the character's fingers clip through it.

Launchers

Airtronic China Lake

The Medium kit has access to the conceptual modernized China Lake Launcher that was an unfinished prototype by Airtronic. It appears under the name "CL-40."

Airtronic China Lake prototype - 40x46mm

The 21st century China Lake in the loadout preview.

A Medium wields the China Lake on the test area's forest.

It aims in typical FPS fashion, without any real use of the sights.

The inspect shows a slight chamber check, though the action bars aren't synced and don't roll back with the pump and bolt.

It functions fine when fired, though. Perspective issues appear to make the ejected casing quite stubby.

Chamber-loading the Airtronic when empty.

It is held upside down to load up the magazine with the right hand.

Milkor MGL Mk 1S

A Milkor MGL Mk 1S is available to the Heavy, under the name "MGL32." Compared to the Airtronic China Lake, it fires rounds that have a bounce and delayed explosion - so it requires a fair bit of leading shots on moving targets.
