The Heavy is the strongest direct damage class in The Finals. To balance this power, the Heavy is also slow and has a larger hitbox. This means that you will often be the main target of an enemy assault. Still, it is one of the best classes to hold on to an existing position.
Due to the lack of mobility, Heavy characters rely more on team composition. You will want to create opportunities for Light builds in The Finals to ambush and flank. You will also want to stick close to Medium-class players who offer support and protection.

Best Heavy Defender Build in The Finals
The core of all classes is the Specialization. This determines the main ability a character can use throughout the match. Weapons and Gadgets are secondary and will factor in how close or far you fight. You are the most effective at mid-range but can still be threatening in close encounters.
Ability Name | Ability Type | Function |
|---|---|---|
Lewis Gun | Main Weapon | Mid-range light machine gun with high recoil and has 47 rounds. |
SA 1216 | Main Weapon | A close-range shotgun that deals great damage per hit and has16 rounds. |
Sledge Hammer | Main Weapon | Slow swing melee weapon. Can damage walls, making it more ideal for supporting allies. |
Mesh Shield | Specialization | Creates a barrier in front of the Heavy. Very similar to Reinhardt’s shield in Overwatch 2. |
Goo Gun | Specialization | Fires goo in a controlled trajectory. This blocks areas and can also be used as a platform. |
RPG-7 | Gadget | Fires a deadly rocket from long range. It can also destroy walls on direct impact. |
Dome Shield | Gadget | Creates a stationary shield that protects all allies that stay inside. |
C4 | Gadget | Stick an explosive onto a surface that can be detonated via remote. |
With two shield types, the Heavy role can easily blockade maps in The Finals. Use this to secure the Cashout Station or Vault for aggressive foes. Just remember that your job is to defend space. If the enemy retreats, let the Light players hunt them down while you stay behind to refortify.
