Team wipe

Hey everyone! So, you saw my post about that crazy 'Team Wipe' in The Finals? Well, let me dive a bit deeper into what that glorious moment truly means and how you can aim for those game-changing plays yourself. First off, what is a team wipe in The Finals? It's that electrifying moment when your entire enemy squad gets eliminated within a short timeframe, leaving their cashout or objective undefended. The game often rewards you with a 'Team Wipe Bonus', like the one I snagged for +1000 points, on top of individual eliminations (like the 250 + 750 I saw pop up!). It's not just about the points, though. A successful team wipe gives your squad a massive advantage, clearing the way to secure a 'Cashout' or 'Defend Cashout D!' unopposed, or simply denying crucial 'REVIVE' opportunities to the enemy. There's nothing sweeter than seeing that 'SWOOP!' notification after taking down the last opponent, knowing you've just bought your team precious time. Achieving a team wipe isn't just luck; it often comes down to solid strategy and teamwork. Here are a few tips from my own experience: Focus Fire: The golden rule! Instead of everyone shooting at different targets, try to 'focus fire' on one opponent until they're 'ELIMINATED'. This quickly reduces the enemy's numbers and their ability to fight back or 'REVIVE' teammates. Communication is Key: Use your pings! Call out low-health enemies, specific threats (like a Heavy pushing hard), or when you're about to use an ultimate ability. Knowing your teammates' positions and intentions, especially when trying to 'Hold position at Cas', can make all the difference. Class Synergy: Understand how your team's classes work together. A Heavy can push aggressively, soaking up damage, while a Medium provides healing and utility (like a Defibrillator for quick 'REVIVE's) and a Light can flank and pick off stragglers. My teammate often provides crucial support or damage in these moments. Environmental Awareness: The maps in The Finals are incredibly destructive. Use gadgets like Explosive Mines, Goo Grenades, or the Goo Gun to deny pathways, create cover, or trap enemies. Sometimes a well-placed charge can bring down an entire building section, taking out opponents below in one 'SWOOP!'. Know When to Commit: Don't overextend! If you've taken down two enemies but the last one is playing super safe, sometimes it's better to secure the objective than chase a risky third kill and potentially get wiped yourselves. On the flip side, what if you're the one facing a potential team wipe? Don't Group Up Too Tightly: This makes you an easy target for grenades or area-of-effect abilities. Try to spread out a bit, but stay close enough for quick 'REVIVE's. Prioritize Revives: If a teammate goes down, and it's safe, get that 'REVIVE' off immediately. A full squad has a much better chance of winning a fight than being outnumbered. Use Cover: Always be near cover! This allows you to break line of sight, heal up, or reload without taking continuous damage. Disengage if Necessary: Sometimes, the best play is to retreat and regroup. If you're heavily outnumbered or outgunned, pulling back can prevent a full wipe and allow you to re-engage on more favorable terms. Mastering team wipes, both achieving and avoiding them, is a huge part of climbing the ranks in The Finals. It's all about making smart plays and working with your squad to control those critical 'Cashout Zones'. Hope these tips help you get your own epic moments!
