How to detect 50 opponents in The Finals

The Finals Season 1 expects players to acquire a ton of XP if they want to get their hands on the wide range of cosmetics available in the paid Battle Pass. A weekly XP challenge asks you to detect 50 opponents, and here’s how to do so in The Finals.

From a new Battle Pass to three unique Contestant classes, there’s a lot worth exploring in The Finals Season 1. Even if you’ve not purchased the Battle Pass, missing out on the rewards from the free variant might be a mistake because BP rewards rarely return in a future pass or the Item Shop.

XP challenges in The Finals revolve around several gameplay mechanics. While the challenges related to dealing damage, winning games, or getting eliminations are as simple as they get, others like Serve and Detect and Chief Detective need a proper strategy to be completed on time.

On that note, here’s how to detect 50 opponents in The Finals to gain XP from Serve and Detect and Chief Detective challenges.

How to detect 50 enemies in The Finals

You can detect 50 opponents in The Finals and complete the Serve and Detect or Chief Detective challenges by using the Sonar Grenade Gadget exclusive to Medium build. Add it to your loadout through the Contestants section on the main screen and use it in areas like Cashout stations where you’ll most likely find some enemies.

It is worth noting that other revealing items that can counter the Cloaking Device like Recon Senses and Thermal Vision don’t add to your challenge progress and for now, only the enemies detected through Sonar Grenade are tracked.

Best tips to complete ‘Detect 50 opponents’ challenge in The Finals

If you’re struggling to use the Sonar Grenade effectively and detect 50 opponents in The Finals, here are some tips that’ll come in handy:

• Sonar Grenades bounce off walls, so make sure to use this property to make the grenade reach rather tricky spots.
• Throw the Sonar Grenade at opponents reviving their teammates which can help you get two detects quickly.
• Cashout stations, closed regions, and vaults are some of the best places to throw a Sonar Grenade as you’ll find the most opponents here.

How to use Sonar Grenade in The Finals

Sonar Grenade in The Finals emits a pulse in a small AoE revealing enemies and it goes beyond walls as well. Any opponent revealed by this pulse gets a ‘Detected’ message on their screen and it adds to your progress in the ‘Detect 50 opponents’ challenge.

The Sonar Grenade is one of the best counters for Light players using the Cloaking Device and a great way to find enemies inside smokes. The only thing you need to be careful about is the grenade’s range as wrong placement can instantly make the item useless.

The Finals players have complained about the rigorous Battle Pass grind in Season 1 as challenges like the one mentioned above as well as Covert Operator and Carried Away have rather unclear directions. If the developers change the way how these challenges work, we’ll make sure to update this space so make sure to bookmark it and check back.
