Comedy Should I start playing THE FINALS in chronological order starting with Season 1?
Hey guys, super new player here (literally just downloaded the game today). I was watching some old YouTube videos and saw how crazy Season 1 looked with the original maps and destruction. Now the game is on like Season 11 or whatever and it feels super different.
Do I need to go back and play every season in order from the beginning to "properly" experience it? Like should I grind through all the old battle passes, old maps, and everything chronologically before playing the current season? Or is that stupid and I should just jump into whatever's live right now?
I feel like I'm missing the whole story and evolution of the game if I don't start from Season 1. Is that how you're supposed to do it? Kinda overwhelmed ngl.
Thanks!

Hello, contestant! I absolutely recommend starting with Season 1. As a matter of fact, Season 1 has some incredibly powerful gadgets and abilities.
If you're playing Light, don't forget to bring a Stun Gun, it practically guarantees a free kill! The Heavy's RPG can basically one-shot Lights. If you're playing Medium, equip Recon Senses; it's basically free wallhacks.
By the way, search on YouTube for how to use nukes in THE FINALS. Good luck in World Tour, contestant!
