With the release of The Finals Season 2 across multiple platforms, players were eager about the intriguing additions showcased in a teaser, such as innovative gadgets and a vibrant new Arena. Amidst all these features, one crucial gameplay setting for Season 2 was not prominently featured but is essential for players to activate promptly.
Embark Studios has published detailed patch notes for The Finals Season 2. While the tweaks and enhancements have generally been well-received, there has been some debate surrounding a specific weapon nerf that has sparked disagreement, being labeled as ‘foolish’ by some. Despite this, fans have shown satisfaction with the new array of weapons available for each class, the introduction of the new 5v5 Power Shift mode, and the ability to engage in private matches.
Although all aspects of the update are impressive, one new gameplay setting might have gone unnoticed, which players should activate without delay.
Activating the New Auto-Sprint Feature in The Finals
In Season 2 of The Finals, players will find a new auto-sprint option in the gameplay settings menu.
According to the patch notes, players can turn on auto-sprint in the settings menu, where they can adjust how quickly their character starts sprinting. The rationale behind this addition is based on the game’s unique ‘omnidirectional sprinting system’, allowing characters to sprint in any direction, not just forward, distinguishing The Finals from other multiplayer shooters. While some players may be hesitant about auto-sprint initially, it is recommended to enable it to explore its benefits.
To activate auto-sprint, navigate to the gameplay settings menu, where you can toggle this feature on or off. Additionally, you can modify the delay before sprinting initiates, typically set at a default of 0.5 seconds.
This feature aims to enhance character movement. For console players, such as those on PS5, it removes the need to continuously press L3, which may be preferable for some and cumbersome for others. If any issues arise with the auto-sprint function, the game developers encourage players to provide feedback on the game’s subreddit megathread.
Moreover, The Finals players have the opportunity to acquire 2 Epic outfits and 12 Epic weapon skins for free. The content includes a weapon guide outlining the top choices, a gadget guide, recommended FPS settings for gameplay, and a review of the best classes to play as.
The Finals is accessible on platforms like PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
