“A Hidden Gem!” The Finals Players Praise an Underrated Gadget

Sometimes you may be playing a game for years and years, and still overlook an item that could be of great help. It’s happened to everyone, you usually pick your favorites fairly early in the game and stick to them. Well, you might want to reconsider that, as The Finals players revealed which underrated Gadget changed their entire experience.

An Underrated Gadget Impresses the Players

The Gadget in question belongs to the Medium class, it is the Data Reshaper. One player, Ven_n, took to Reddit and shared a short video of what can be done with Data Reshaper. In the video, the player manages to turn a grenade into a barrel and then throw it at the enemy. The OP simply noted: “Data Reshaper is underrated”.

This post received hundreds of upvotes and comments praising the rarely-used Gadget. The trick to successfully using it lies in timing, so generally speaking, it’s more popular among PC players than console players.

Another player, d_e_s_u_k_a, stated: “You gotta be quick though, same with Demat. There’s a bit of a hike to be proficient with it. But, once you are, it’s extreme for defense & a decent bit helpful offensively here and there”.

CompedyCalso said: “I’ve loved it even during its release when it had a super short range. Nothing like turning the enemy’s APS and turret setup into nice household decor”. Several players joked about turning others’ setups into chairs when someone annoyed them.

One of them, dadvader, confessed: “I never care about turning barrels, lol. I just carry it around to delete turrets. Nothing like turning their defense into a chair. Feels so satisfying and I can’t believe people don’t use it more”.

The Finals Players Reveal How to Deal With Barricades

Some of The Finals players reported another great usage for this underrated Gadget is reshaping the barricades. There was a small debate on whether you can or can’t reshape the barricades, but in our experience, and as many others confirmed, yes, you can.

Captain_Jeep jokingly added: “I constantly reshape barricades. I love watching people think that they are safe behind their walls only to suddenly be hiding behind a potted plant”. There is nothing quite as amusing as seeing a player panic once they realize they’re out in the open.

One Redditor, Zoralink, explained the one catch that might have been overlooked. They stated: ” It’s just another thing to reshape, there’s no special condition or anything. Just like you can’t reshape friendly grenades and whatnot, you can’t reshape friendly barricades. That would be obnoxious”.

Now that you know all of this, would you consider trying out the Data Reshaper? We suggest you do, as it has several quite cool uses, and it could significantly contribute to your gameplay. With all the dissatisfaction with the game lately, the Data Reshaper could come in handy and change some things.
