The Finals offers an exhilarating FPS multiplayer experience, allowing players to engage in virtual combat game shows alongside their friends. Each week, a new set of challenges, offering XP rewards, are introduced to keep the game dynamic and challenging.

One of the current challenges, The Covert Operator Challenge, demands players to remain hidden for 300 seconds. While this may appear straightforward, mastering the art of stealth requires specific tactics to ensure seamless completion. The following guide provides comprehensive insights into conquering this challenge.

Mastering the Art of Stealth in The Finals

Selecting the Right Loadout and Specialization

To begin, it is crucial to equip a light loadout and a Cloaking Device. The Cloaking Device, a Specialization in The Finals, enhances stealth capabilities. Opting for a light build combined with a cloaking device is essential due to the inherently low HP of this setup.

Follow these steps to select a light build with a Cloaking device:

• Select 'Contestants' from the menus.
• Choose a new light build.
• From the Specialization Card, opt for the Cloaking Device.

Strategic Use of the Cloaking Device

The Cloaking Device can be activated at any time, but its optimal use is when players are at risk of being exposed to nearby enemies. Here are some strategic tips for utilizing it effectively:

• Activate the device when not surrounded by numerous enemies to minimize the risk of being easily spotted, ensuring a smooth completion of the challenge.
• If playing with friends or teammates, coordinate with them for cover, reducing the chances of exposure and facilitating a seamless hiding process.

Tactics for Sustained Invisibility

While the Cloaking Device renders players invisible to enemies, certain factors can compromise its efficiency. To navigate such scenarios, consider the following tactics:

• Remain completely still while the Cloaking Device is active, as movement can make players mildly visible to nearby enemies.
• Beware of AOE (area-of-effect) damages such as gas mines or explosives, as encountering these will render players visible to nearby opponents, resulting in a failed challenge.
