The Finals Season 2 Will Add Some Truly Game-Changing Hacker Abilities
The Finals is about to get even more chaotic with the launch of Season 2 on March 14, when it will introduce a slew of new hacker-themed abilities that sound like serious game-changers.
Season 2 sees the “game show” players participate under siege by a rogue hacker collective called CNS, which are looking to disrupt the show and spread their message. As part of their cyberattacks, players will be able to embrace some new gadgets that have the potential to completely upend the balance of Embark Studio’s squad-based shooter.
Medium-build characters are gaining two new hacker powers in the form of the Dematerializer specialization and the Data Reshaper gadget. The Dematerializer specialization allows players to temporarily erase surfaces like walls and ceilings, which can then be shot or moved through. The ability can be used both defensively or offensively, to make a quick escape or to ambush unsuspecting enemies. The Data Reshaper seems equally powerful. When used, the gadget transforms objects into different ones, allowing players to take out enemy fortifications by turning them into harmless tables or chairs.
