The Finals Sights

Best Sights in THE FINALS: Season 11 Optic Guide
THE FINALS lets you change the optic on most weapons from the weapon customization menu (unlocked with VRs). It is sights-only, with no full attachment or gunsmith system. There are 12 sights across three magnification tiers (1.5x, 2x, 2.25x). Sight choice is mostly personal preference, so there is no rigid meta; the most-recommended all-around optic is the Compact Reflector (the community "red dot"). 17 weapons cannot change their sight at all. For weapon rankings see the weapon tier list; for raw damage see the TTK chart.
- 1.5x optics: Iron Sights, Ghost Ring, Holographic, Compact Reflector, Adder Reflex, and Box Prism
- 2x optics: Reflector, Looking Glass, Quickspark, and Magnifex
- 2.25x optics: Scout and Iron Vantage
