The Finals fans agree on best Season 3 mode and it’s not Cashout

The Finals Season 3 has mostly been a lot of fun thanks to the implementation of a new map in Japan combined with unique Japanese-themed weapons and gadgets. While fans unanimously agree that making Terminal Attack the mode for Ranked was a big mistake, fans have also been discussing the best mode in The Finals Season 3, and, surprisingly, it’s not Cashout.

There should be a new update relatively soon for The Finals this week. Before the new update comes out, make sure to buy the newest item added to the store as it boasts an incredible feature. As for what fans want to see from this upcoming update, besides the want for Cashout to return to Ranked, many players want to see nerfs delivered for Light as the class is currently “killing” the game.

While it remains to be seen what balance changes are delivered this week, if any, right now fans have pushed Cashout to the side in favour of a new favorite mode.

Quick Cash is the best mode in The Finals Season 3

On The Finals’ subreddit, user stimpy-t created a thread titled ‘Quick Cash deserves more respect‘. Their post argues that “It’s labelled as a kinda brain dead, side mode. But it’s probably the most high octane, chaotic match you will ever play… It’s wild, so much fun. There’s no hiding, everyone is coming for you”.

In the replies, many comments agree with the OP’s sentiment while also arguing that it’s the best mode in the game. One of the top replies says, “I’ve been a Quick Cash advocate since I started playing. It’s perfect. 3 teams, 2 stations and 1 vault. Pure, unadulterated carnage – perfectly encapsulates The Finals”.

Quick Cash as a true embodiment of The Finals is echoed in many of the replies with one comment saying, “It’s definitely the finals as it’s meant to be played, people coming from every direction everyone attacking the same goal”.

There are more comments such as, “It’s pretty much the only mode I play anymore” and “Quick cash is what the game is at its core”. In explaining why Quick Cash is their favorite mode, one user said it “avoids the pitfalls” of the other modes listed below:

• Power Shift – Too low-stakes, low-strategy, and also too annoying if filled with challenge grinders and/or snipers.
• Terminal Attack – Too slow-paced, too drawn-out, and limits creative expression due to no respawns.
• Bank It – Feels too much like legacy TDM, and too much of it comes down to camping and 3rd partying at cashout stations.
• Cashout – Problem is it rewards overly cautious play instead of getting stuck in. Strong death and wipe penalties, two objectives, and second-place qualifying means it’s more about sitting back and taking the safest options. It prioritises discipline and conservative play over quick-thinking chaos.

While agreeing that Quick Cash is the best mode to play right now in Season 3, that shouldn’t be mistaken with a desire to make it the main mode for Ranked. In response to a suggestion of making it the Ranked mode, fans agreed, “Quick cash is a great casual mode. It would be dogs**t for competitive, because the correct strategy is ALWAYS do nothing and wait until the other two teams fight, then third party and take the point”.
