How to Unlock Weapons Quickly in The Finals

The Finals is one of those shooters where your choice of weapon really matters. I found myself struggling to compete against opponents who equipped themselves with weapons beyond the starter AKM. So the sooner you upgrade, the better.

Unlocking weapons requires the in-game currency VR. So, you’ll need to stock up on it to buy gear. To unlock weapons fast I recommend that you play Quick Cash or Bank It and cash out during the match. Winning matches will award you additional VR.

You’ve got your new weapons unlocked, but how exactly do you equip them? Here’s what to do:
