The Finals weapon tier list: Best guns to use in Season 2

The Finals Season 2 brings a bunch of new weapons and our tier list has sorted every one of them from the best to the worst so that you can have impactful results in the second Season.

The Finals is a free-to-play shooter which like many other FPS titles features a plethora of weapons and gadgets to choose from. This arsenal is distributed among three playable classes, namely the Light, Medium, and Heavy.

Each of these classes comes with a definite set of weapons with each serving different purposes in the game. So, including the ideal weaponry in your main and reserve loadouts becomes crucial as a slight mishap can prevent your team from getting that victory.

With that said, here’s The Finals weapon tier list with the best guns to choose from in Season 2.

S-Tier weapons in The Finals

• XP-54 (Light)
• Throwing Knives (Light)
• Famas (Medium)
• FCAR (Medium)
• Lewis Gun (Heavy)

Across all three classes – XP-54, Throwing Knives, Famas, FCAR, and Lewis Gun are the S-Tier or meta weapons you can use to dominate lobbies in The Finals. XP-54 is a great choice for Light build players as it’s versatile and effective at variable ranges. Throwing Knives is another superior weapon choice but the skill ceiling is a bit high with this one.

For Medium build players, Famas is an ideal choice that’s introduced with Season 2 as it offers enough damage for its magazine size. Heavy players can rampage other squads using the Lewis Gun, considering how balanced the weapon is.

A-Tier weapons in The Finals

• V9S (Light)
• M11 (Light)
• AKM (Medium)
• R.357 (Medium)
• M60 (Heavy)
• SA1216 (Heavy)

The A-Tier weapons in The Finals fall a tad bit short of the S-Tier category but not to be ignored by any means. They can be the perfect alternatives and worthy enough to add to your Reserve Loadout, in case things take a turn or your team wants to switch strategies in between matches.

For the Light class, M11 and V9S are great choices. While for the Medium and Heavy builds, you may go with AKM, R.357, M60, and SA1216, respectively.

B-Tier weapons in The Finals

• SR-84 (Light)
• LH1 (Light)
• Model 1887 (Medium)
• Riot Shield (Medium)
• Flamethrower (Heavy)
• Sledgehammer (Heavy)
• KS-23 (Heavy)

The B-Tier weapons in general are good at best and you may use them for experimenting. They are mostly effective during tricky situations but aren’t quite categorized as meta weapons.

C-Tier weapons in The Finals

• 93R (Light)
• SH1900 (Light)
• Sword (Light)
• CL-40 (Medium)
• MGL32 (Heavy)

As we move down the weapon tier list, these guns would fall under the C-Tier in The Finals. It’s better if you avoid them or use them in your Reserve loadouts in the best-case scenario.

93R is the new weapon for Light mains that arrived with Season 2, but after the initial hype, players term it as a “pea shooter” and feel it needs a buff.

D-Tier weapons in The Finals

• Dagger (Light)

This D-Tier weapon in The Finals is the worst and you should avoid the Dagger at all costs if winning more matches is your priority.
