| Features | Limited respawn credits |
Cashout is the premier gamemode in THE FINALS. It involves up to four teams of three competing to collect the most cash by completing successful Cashouts.
Gameplay
Teams earn a majority of their cash by depositing Cash Boxes into Cashout Stations. Contestants must first locate an available Vault in the arena and open it, which begins a twenty second timer. Once this timer expires, the Vault will eject a Cash Box. Contestants can then carry the Cash Box to one of the Cashout Stations located in the arena. Cash Boxes can be thrown once picked up, allowing contestants to defend themselves if attacked, pass the Cash Box to a teammate, or insert the Cash Box from distance.
Once a Cash Box is inserted into a Cashout Station, a timer will start and the team will need to defend the Cashout Station from opponents trying to steal it. All other contestants will be alerted to the active Cashout and will be allowed to try to capture it to steal the cash. Once the timer ends, the cash in the Cashout Station will be added to the possessing team's total cash, and another Vault will appear in the arena.
