All expected changes coming in The Finals Season 8

Here's a look at all the potential changes coming in the latest season of The Finals:

Improved anti-cheat

The Finals have been plagued by a lot of cheaters lately. The anti-cheat for the title has been lackluster since the game's inception, and as such, we have seen quite an influx of cheaters into the title. While players definitely want to see an improved anti-cheat in action, the community, first and foremost, wants the developers to acknowledge the problem and, accordingly, implement a fix to stop the cheating issue in the game.

We are expecting to see some changes to the anti-cheat module implemented for The Finals. Taking such a step will help improve the competitive integrity of the game.

Weapon and gadget additions and changes

With the debut of The Finals Season 8, we are expecting to see some major weapon and gadget balance updates. Eventually, throughout the course of a season, it does feel pretty stale to use and fight against players using the same weapons across different character classes.

A change in gun and gadget balancing would allow players to have a wider variety of weapons to choose from, and also allow them to express their creative gameplay using non-meta, yet useful gadgets in the game.

Of course, alongside these changes, we do speculate that Embark Studios will introduce new weapons for the different classes in the game. That by itself should shake up the ongoing meta in-game.

Addressing the smurfing problem

Being a free-to-play game, The Finals suffers from a severe smurfing problem. It is one of the key reasons why newer players oftentimes stop playing the title despite finding it enjoyable. Smurfing is one of the key deterrents in all free-to-play games, and we expect Embark Studios to introduce some measure to at least reduce, if not stop, smurfing altogether.
