THE FINALS Complete Gadget Tier List - Season 1

[Music] hey everyone what's up and welcome to the channel today we are back and we are going to be making a full complete tier list of every Gadget in the finals this tier list is going to include every Gadget across every class and it's all going to be compiled into one tier list rated from s tier all the way down to D tier I'm extremely excited for this tier list we did make a weapons tier list rating every weapon from s tier down to D tier I did highly encourage you guys to comment and give your opinions on where I place individual items because you guys shed some pretty interesting perspectives so I want you to do the same here for the gadgets we're going to get straight into this if you guys enjoy a like is always appreciated subscribe if you guys want to see more we drop tons of finals videos and I do stream my own twitch every day link to that is in the description let's get into this all righty so here we are like I said s tier all the way down to D tier we're going to start top left all the way down to bottom right and this Journey Begins with the aps turret the aps turret instantly I'm putting this thing in s tier as a medium player I I actually cannot get by without the amount of C4 barrels that get thrown at me RPGs explosives I make sure that I have one of these by my feet anytime I shoot at anybody because I know a heavy is probably around the corner ready to explode me so s tier for the aps turret moving on to the barricade I actually think the barricades are really really good so much so that I'm putting them and a tier I've been questioning what meta heavy build is after Christmas update Nerfs to heavy I've been rocking them with C4s and RPGs and it's actually kind of replaced Dome shield for me don't get me wrong Dome Shield is still incredibly good but that's just my opinion uh next up we have the breaches the breaches I think for me are going to go into a b tier Gadget I wouldn't say it's quite a tier it is useful though you can create openings and off angles as light move cash outs and even even kind of defend cash outs from being stolen by putting it on it they aren't the best gadget but they're not exactly bad they do have some use and Effectiveness uh C4s on the other hand I think I would say C4s are s tier right now definitely you could put these things on barrels I think that's what's really solidifying its s tier spot the C4 barrels is the best way to open gunfights right now it's crazy the amount of damage it does you get endless amounts of picks and it's also just good to double stack C4s on cash out and you know it's a great defensive tool the defibrillators S tier on medium class super super good the best way to keep teammates in a gunfight keep gunfights alive and that paired with a healing Beam on the medium class is probably one of the most overpowered and tedious things to deal with or play against right now the Dome Shield I still think the Dome Shield is in a tier oh just to clarify once again these aren't in any particular order they're just s tier gadgets yeah say the Dome Shield paired with the mes Shield is still a very effective heavy build if not probably still the best Dome Shields they did get Nerf from 350 Health down to only 300 health in the Christmas update so they're easier to shoot out I thought they were getting pretty easy to shoot out with 350 Health but they caught a Nerf in advance so next up we have the explosive mines I think the explosive mines the mines are a bit finicky for me because mines are heavily used right now I wouldn't say that the explosive mine is an a tier Gadget I think mines are very good in general and hopefully this will make more sense by the end of the tier list but I think that the explosive in particular is a b tier Gadget gas mine is so much more effective uh yes if you do shoot out an explosive mine it will you know breach the floor and could move the cash out which could buy some time themselves like if you shoot them out they explode they're not the biggest blast radius they're pretty easy to avoid and it's a b tier gadget for me uh flashbangs flashbangs I I just instantly throw those in D TI here I've tried to make flashbangs work so much I really have I want this guy to be good cuz it is pretty annoying when you get blinded but when you're pushing teams the amount of times you kind of accidentally hit your teammates or even if your teammates are just looking in that direction everybody gets blinded it's a big mess maybe it'll get buffed or you know be shown its true potential by some magical player but right now I'm putting it in DTI frag grenades on the other hand rated strictly for its capabilities it's an a tier Gadget it is simply outclassed by other gadgets right now which makes me want to put it into D tier but if I'm rating the gadget on its sole capabilities it's got to be a tier for me I Rock frags on the medium Class A lot and you get two of them the cool down is pretty short and the amount of kills you get with frags is insane it's one of the most effective ways to take down Heavies extremely strong like I'm I'm not even joking if you haven't tried for eggs use them and I think it's going to really surprise you the toxic ass toxic ass is another uh I'm going to say at least one of your teammates needs to be using toxic ass right now it is an extremely strong Gadget it's definitely stronger than the gas mine for me because it's it's a guaranteed set off uh if you have a couple of teammates Rock toxic ass and you cycle through like I throw mine wait till it finishes next teammate throw theirs and mine's already on cool down you can block off the potential to steal cash sites for so long it brings so much control to gunfights and and just even uh defense play so yeah toxic gas is a must for here now it's definitely an S tier Gadget next up we have the gas mines though following the gas grenades and this is where I put like in terms of mine it's it's it's it's the better mine but it's not a b tier Gadget it's an a tier Gadget the gas mines you can shoot these things out to kind of buy time on cash outs but it's a lot more risky than toxic gas grenades because you actually have to have a line of sight on it and you got to make sure you can actually like see it to shoot it too by that time but they are really good like if people step on these things and they blow up it buys so much time uh these gas grenades you can actually stick to the ceilings of one floor under where you're trying to push and the gas explodes in a mass of 360 so it's not just the room that it the gas effects it's it's it's the bubble so um like I said Stick it to the ceiling and it'll explode in the room above so yeah at your gadget for me glitch grenades okay glitch grenades I want to put them okay no once again I there's a lot of s tier gadgets I I know it's it's maybe we're just pounding through them early if I'm a light car character and I'm not using glitch grenades in ranked you're literally selling it is the best way to shut down Heavies and all the crazy utility that squads pull up to cash sites with if you can glitch grenade them you can turn it into straight 3v3 gun duel and with the good positioning you probably already have holding a cash out you're more than likely going to win so glitch grenades are definitely s here right now moving on we have the I'm yeah sorry these are the glitch traps glitch traps for me I've actually used these things quite a bit and really tried to make them work uh they're just not it I I'm going to put them into C tier though because I don't think they're as bad as flashbangs uh if you do see enemy teams pulling up and they throw a dome or uh you know pull up with a mesh Shield onto a cash site chances are the mesio guy is walking around trying to cover his homie and if they pull it Dome Shield they're probably all running inside and if there's a couple of glitch mines around it it can actually disable all of the utility they pull up with it's really effective when it works but in strict defense situations when you wish it did damage it's just not as good as gas mines I think gas mines are just as effective as glitch traps and more once they actually detonate on site so I'd rather be using explosive or gas when they work moving on we got the goo grenades okay the goo grenades definitely a b tier Gadget don't get me wrong I this is where I think some of you guys are going to be a little upset I'm not putting it into the a tier set of gadgets I think that just because it's being outclassed right now and and it's it's lack of Effectiveness in comparison to the other gadgets I got to put it in B tier but goo grenades are really good I think they are definitely going to be a tier if not maybe even s tier one day if they get the right Buffs I think they're a little inconsistent when you throw them and they get stuck in you get stuck inside of them and they all explode and then your goo grenades wasted but you can use it to defend you can use it to take space you can use it on walls to actually uh climb up and avoid the need of our next Gadget jump pad um but yeah I think it's a b tier speaking of the jump pad though I think jump pad is definitely a tier I actually oh no see there we go it's s tier I I think you need jump pads jump pads is definitely the most useful Mobility tool in the game more so than zip lines uh I personally don't use jump pads a lot because I have teammates who rocked them um but that's what made me have to put in an S tier I was going to say a tier but if you don't have a jump pad and there's hanging structures you're just screwed it's a jump pad you can use it during combat uh you can use it to get the team around it's really important to get your Heavies around with it um s tier for me motion sensors motion sensors I've tried to make these things work as well I think they're really good tools to use as a light uh to kind of like give yourself information to get picks but for in terms of like entire team utility I really just don't think it's that great of a gadget uh not anything useful that's going to turn the tides of a battle I'm going to put it in DTI right now um motion sensors just need some Love U maybe they're just not great of an ability overall uh Pate pades pyron nades I think that's going to be our next C tier Gadget even though the G like the stuff in this game works in a rock paper sister fashion where pyron nades are necessary to cancel out gas I think that is the only thing that would make me move it up to B tier like incendiary grenades do so little damage it's actually atrocious if you throw it at goo to destroy goo which it's known to be really powerful at uh the goo still stays on fire and you still can't run through the Goof for like a hot minute so it's not great at that and if you do Chuck an incendiary grenade at uh toxic gas it'll get rid of the gas but then fire still lingers around given it does a lot less damage then the gas so you'll probably able to be able to tank it and steal a cash out it's just it's still crap you got to deal with even after you use a grenade which is like the only thing it's good at and if you actually throw it at people bro incendiary damage does like no damage man like you can maybe kill lights with it but other than that I mean I don't I don't panic when I get hit by these things so there's C tier for me uh next up we have the Pyro mines if you thought pyro nades were bad well just wait till you meet pyro mines these things are atrocious that like they're just not good I would rather use any other tool in the game than a pyro mine when I need to defend like I would rather throw to oag gas throw grenades I'd rather throw grenades to defend than have a freaking pyrro Min cing down I thought of ways to use pyro mines to counter gas and I just can't think of a lot of situations where it would be effective um it's just not a great tool and when it does blow up it causes flame damage but flame damage is a lot less dangerous than gas damage so that's where it ends up for me RPG I think RPG is a incredible tool see now I'm getting a little funky here I mean no RPG is really good right now RPG is s tier for me I wanted to say like there are certain moments where I actually feel like you could probably get away with not using RPG I can very easily see RPG falling down to a tier at some point with another Nerf um but right now it's s tier it's just a really really reliable tool it's great for killing people it's great for blasting holes entry damage U moving cash sights down floors it's just nice to have extra explosives in your back pocket and it's super convenient because it's shootable smoke grenades that's a d tier for me smoke grenades need a lot of love right now I think smoke grenades could actually be really useful in the future if they made the cloud bigger and uh increased the density of the smoke yeah it's it's it's deter for me right now they're they're almost borderline useless sonar grenades on the other hand okay so I think sonar grenades right now paired with Recon sensus which is the main build that I rock I like Recon senses with sonar grenades because you know where to effectively throw them they are extremely powerful uh in that build so I'm going to put them in a tier maybe I'm a bit biased here cuz I use them if you they they did get a bit of a Nerf um going into full launch the radius like the Dome of the scan is a lot smaller but that's why with Recon sensus if you know where to strategically throw them it's still a decent radius and you spam two of those things you can give your entire team wall hacks which makes pushing cash outs super simple and super easy you can team play together you can push together everything's just so much more effective when you have all hacks so I think the sonar grenades are a tier for sure the stun gun stun gun is okay so here this this is where it gets interesting the stun gun is an incredibly effective light class tool but I don't think I can put it in s tier right now there's been countless amount of times where I turn on lights with stun guns and one clip them because they don't have a lot of Health I think that there are a lot of other gadgets especially goo grenades that you could supplement out for at high level rank instead of the stun gun ever since they nerfed stun gun going into full launch where your sensitivity your look around sensitivity doesn't get affected it lost a lot of its power so I think you can live without it if you couldn't live without it I would put it into s tier all these gadgets are hands down must needs but I can find a reality where I don't need this thing so it's a tier for me uh the thermal vision thermal vision is going to be another D tier uh gadget for me I actually think that paired with the smoke grenades is where thermal vision actually has a lot of potential I think once smoke grenades get buffed that's when thermal vision is really going to come to shine if the cloud was bigger if the density was thicker having thermal vision is kind of like Bangalore in Apex Legends when you're Blood Hound or have a skar doome down yeah you can see everybody through your little digital threat you can one clip people who can't even see you and that combo is going to be deadly one day it's just today is not that day so yeah smoke grenades thermal vision stas in DTI the tracking dart on the other hand tracking Dart I I oh man okay I don't think I can put this thing in D tier it is not as bad as these gadgets I'm going to put it into C tier because yeah it's about it's about this level of Effectiveness right now I think the tracking Dart gets outshine because of how powerful a lot of these upper tier gadgets are to the point where it makes it really hard to want to use this thing especially when sonar grenades exist but I have tried medium builds where I rock the tracking Dark Gun with sonar grenades and Recon senses and it is a very useful tool it exactly for 15 seconds puts people on wall hacks it has a nice sniper scope on it and it's hit skin it's very easy to hit people and it puts people on scan for extremely long time um I think it's a good tool but it's just not great like in a great great spot right now so C tier is where it's got to fall the vanish bombs vanish bombs is about as B tier of a gadget as we could get on this list I like the vanish bombs I've coordinated it in ranked and made some pretty awesome pushes where the team doesn't expect us to push I think it's great when you have jump pads and you're pushing teams on hanging structures and you all fall on them while invisible nobody ever sees it coming it's really effective but I think it really shines an individual usage with the light right now I think it's really nice to pair with a dash ability it provides that invisibility perk that you get with the invis specialty but you don't have to Crutch It you get a little bit more movement when I was using the vanish bomb I was pairing it with Dash and I was using it with stun gun and glitch grenade but if I was really thinking about it now like i' would probably go vanish bomb gas grenade glitch grenade cuz the stun gun isn't I mean you could get rid of the stun gun it just pairs nicely with the vanish bomb because you know when you sneak up on someone with invisibility it's pretty much a free stun so and lastly we have the zip line the zip lines a very effective tool very effective source of Mobility I actually think it is uh more useful than the jump pads in certain situations but to finish off this tier list I think it's dancing somewhere between a tier and B tier for me I have seen double Mobility medium builds work really well and it it does save you in certain situations where you got to deposit cash so I think I think I'll p but I'll put the zip line in a tier it's it's pretty damn good I think overall this looks like a solid tier list it looks pretty well balanced we do have a good chunk of D tier gadgets but from C tier up to S tier I mean it's nice little nice little nice little pyramid curve right there looks looks good to me I'm actually I'm actually really happy with this but let me know what you guys think of my Gadget tier list down in the comments are you uh absolutely upset with some of the placements I've made or are you relatively you know in line with what I was thinking um i' like to i' like to know I do stream every day over on
