Season 4 was all about love for the community, bringing back hype "Ranked Tournaments, hitting us with the dope Fortune Stadium, and just amping up everything that makes THE FINALS the show. So without further adieu, let's check out why Season 5 is gonna be the best one yet!

New Maps, Sponsors, Weapons, & Game Modes

“Welcome to Bernal, the stunning new map for Season 5, brought to you by our generous sponsors! This magical town is set in the shadow of the awe-inspiring Peña de Bernal, one of the largest monoliths in the world.

The Arena blends rich culture with the show stopping dynamism of THE FINALS. Traverse the narrow, cobblestone streets of its colorful colonial plaza which serves as the map’s heart, leap from rooftop to rooftop, or carve your own path right through the walls. With destructible environments, turn Bernal’s historic charm into the Arena of your dreams.”

“Sponsors are taking center stage!  You’ll be able to sign with just one sponsor who will support you through the entire season, so choose wisely! 

This time, we have one returning sponsor and two new ones!  You’ll be able to pledge your loyalty to VAIIYA, DISSUN, or ISEUL-T! If you’re signing up with ISEUL-T for the second time, you’ll have access to a second tier of their high fashion reward track!”

A DEADLY EXPANDED ARSENAL

“Season 5 introduces two game-changing weapons that are sure to leave their mark:

• ShAK-50: A heavy-hitting rifle for the Heavy that fires two bullets per shot, delivering immense stopping power with each pull of the trigger.

• Cerberus 12GA: A break-action triple shotgun for the Medium loaded with incendiary shells that can set both contestants and the environment ablaze.

Along with two powerful new gadgets:

• Gravity Vortex: a deployable gadget for the Light with a remote trigger that creates a local singularity that pulls in everything around it, including objectives, players and objects.

• Lockbolt Launcher: a gadget for the Heavy that shoots an anchor into the environment that captures and holds up to three targets. Players are still able to move when anchored but they won’t get far.”

“Season 5 introduces Clubs, our new social system where contestants can form groups and play together. Whether you’re a solo star or a party animal, Clubs give you a new way to connect, collaborate, and compete and beat the solo-queue-blues! 

Club features include:

• Club Bonus: Earn extra XP and Fans by competing as a team.
