It should be noted that in The Finals, all shotguns are devastating weapons, and this is even more true for SA1216. Unlike other shotguns, the SA1216 is a semi-automatic weapon with a magazine size of 16 shells. This means that one of the greatest strengths of this weapon is its high fire rate. It is able to deal a considerable amount of damage fast at close range. On the other hand, due to the big spread of SA1216, you will be drastically less effective at medium and long ranges.

The Best build for SA1216 in The Finals

  • Weapon: SA1216 
  • Specialization: Charge ‘N’ Slam
  • Gadgets: Barricade, RPG-7, Dome Shield 

Because the Heavy Build is the slowest of all Builds, you will have to get to close range quickly to use SA1216 effectively. This means that the best build for it is the one that gets you into the fight fast. Luckily for us, Heavy Build’s Charge ‘N’ Slam specialization offers just that. Not to mention that using this ability is a great way of creating openings for your team.

On the other hand, taking RPG-7 will make up for your lack of long-range options. Lastly, taking Dome Shield and Barricades will allow you to wall off important objectives. That creates more tight positions where SA1216 will give you a significant advantage. Alternatively, they can be used to protect you while reviving allies or to create a shelter from incoming fire.
