One of the best ways to describe The Finals is a test of teamwork. Success depends heavily on how well teammates are able to work with each other and a big part of that involves making sure everyone is healed and also coordinating respawns. A lot of that is about to go out the window with the game's next game mode. Teamwork will be as critical as ever, but the new Terminal Attack mode will remove healing and respawning from the equation entirely.
As noted on The Finals website, Terminal Attack's rules are simple. It's an attack/defend objective featuring teams of five. The attacking team will look to deliver a decryption key to a terminal. The defense must protect that terminal. Unlike other modes in The Finals, respawns are disabled. In fact, healing is disabled, too. Players will have one shot at the objective. If everyone on a team falls, the round is over.
Terminal Attack looks to be a far more traditional esports-style mode for a game that's been more focused on casual modes, like Cash Out and Bank It. It's also more straightforward than Power Shift, which was more about the bombastic visuals of collapsing environments than anything else.
Players won't have to wait too long for Terminal Attack. Look for it to come to The Finals this Thursday, May 2. For those who haven't jumped into this free-to-play shooter yet, Shacknews has a few guides up and running, so check out our topic page for The Finals.
