How To Access Reserve In The Finals
Here are the methods for accessing the reserve in the finals:
Get Eliminated: Unfortunately, you can’t switch loadouts while alive. You need to be spectating after dying.
Look For The “Change Loadout” Prompt: While spectating, a button prompt saying “Change Loadout” will appear on the bottom left of the screen.
Press The Appropriate Button: Depending on your platform, press “J” on PC, “Square” on PlayStation, or “X” on Xbox.
Choose Your Reserve Items: You’ll now see your pre-equipped reserve loadout. Swap any weapon or gadget with items from your main loadout.
Respawn With Your New Setup: Once satisfied, wait for your respawn and jump back into the action with your customized reserve loadout.
Points To Remember
You can only change your loadout once per life. Choose wisely depending on the situation.
Reserve loadouts are most effective in adapting to changing circumstances. For example, switching to a close-range weapon when encountering enemies in tight spaces.
Experiment with different reserve setups based on your playstyle and map preferences.
Remember, the “Change Loadout” option appears only during the respawn countdown, so act quickly.
