Frequently asked
How many weapons are in THE FINALS?
Our current data lists 38 weapons: 13 Light, 13 Medium and 12 Heavy, including melee weapons. Each class can only use its own weapons. Patch 12.0.0 (October 20, 2026) added no new weapons.
What are the best weapons in THE FINALS right now?
In our tier list the S-tier weapons are Light: M11; Medium: CB-01 Repeater; Heavy: KS-23 and ShAK-50. Stats follow patch 12.0.0, but tiers are carried from Season 11 until there is Season 12 usage data; see the meta weapons tier list for the latest ranking.
What does TTK vs Medium mean?
It is the time to kill a 250 HP Medium contestant with body shots, assuming every shot hits and no falloff. It is a quick way to compare weapons; the TTK page has the full breakdown against every class.
Do Season 12 health changes affect weapons?
Yes. Since patch 12.0.0 Light has 175 HP and Heavy 325 HP, with Medium unchanged at 250. That changes how many shots it takes to kill Lights and Heavies on top of the 12.0 weapon changes. For example, the CB-01 Repeater is back to a two body shot kill on Lights, and the LH1 now needs one more body shot against every class.
Data: weapon stats from our weapon database (patch 12.0.0, last updated 2026-10-20), compiled from Embark patch notes and THE FINALS Wiki. Damage values are base values before falloff; shotgun body damage is the full shell (all pellets). Tiers come from our tier list.
