Why do enemies always seem to hit you? Why do their bullets never go astray?
The problem might lie in your outfit.

In The Finals, we all know that hitboxes are always consistent. However, character outlines are drawn along the outer edges of your appearance. This means that your fashion choices could become the deciding factor between life and death.

We compared two distinct styles:

One that minimizes fabric use—even going as far as choosing no hair;

And another that embraces the most extravagant outfits in the game.

Our data shows that the perceived outline area visible to enemies can increase by more than 69.36% depending on your attire.


As you can see, a well-chosen outfit adds a lot of "empty space" to your character outline. This makes it difficult for opponents to distinguish your true body from the visual noise, causing them to waste their shots on what they think is you.

With a standard outfit, opponents can easily land hits on you, as the image demonstrates.

At this point, you should realize that wearing less is not the key.
Instead, you need to dress as bulky as possible, arming your body with the most extravagant outfits available. Here are some core principles:

• 1. Headgear should not be too tall; otherwise, it will give away your position and create a disadvantage.
  
  
• 2. Avoid nearly spherical helmets when viewed from the front, since enemies can easily predict the exact center of your head from any angle.
  
  
• 3. The main idea of headgear is to make it difficult for opponents to pinpoint your true head position. For example, the TV head: from the side, its uneven left and right “false areas” make it harder for enemies to guess where your real head is.
  
  
• 4. For clothing and pants, go for bulky designs with large, flowing fabric strips. For the upper body, wings are generally the superior option.
  
  
• 5. Use waist accessories with caution—they can easily clip through walls and reveal your location.
  
  
• 6. For bow users, overly bulky sleeves may obstruct your vision. Opt for more fitted sleeves combined with wings instead.

If you follow these principles when selecting your gear, you will disorient your enemies and evade their attacks.

In this chapter, I will recommend some headgear based on the principles mentioned earlier. They are all characterized by a low profile, irregular shape, and a center that is difficult to predict from certain angles.

Wings are generally more effective than capes.
In close-range firefights, when you perform rapid lateral movements, scoped-in opponents often relax their aim due to the misleading outline created by your wings, causing them to miss a significant number of shots.

Capes, on the other hand, usually show their deceptive power only during jumps or when dropping from high ground. At those moments, your silhouette temporarily loses its humanoid shape, creating a brief window of confusion for your enemies.

All wings are useable, just to make sure it fits your overall color tone.

The longer the better.

Yep, there's only one pair of pants I recommend.

In this chapter, I will provide detailed recommendations for Recurve Bow users. Sleeves play an especially significant role in bow usage. While in real life we might wear protective gear strapped to the arm, contestants in the game do not require such protection—instead, they need to minimize fabric covering the arms to maintain screen clarity.

As the image demonstrates, wide sleeves occupy a large portion of your screen, making it much easier to lose track of enemies. Therefore, always opt for fitted sleeves on the arms so that your view remains unobstructed.

Here we will also include some additional notes regarding Recurve Bow cosmetics. Although weapon skins fall outside the main scope of this guide—and may be addressed in full detail in a potential second guide—it is still useful to briefly discuss their impact on visibility.

Shown here is the difference between the Quick Draw skin and the default version. As indicated in the image, Quick Draw offers greater visual clarity within your field of view.

However, there is a debate concerning two particular skins: Quick Draw and Protocol Point
As the GIF illustrates, the Protocok Point skin shifts the bow-holding posture slightly downward, opening up more space in the center of the screen but simultaneously blocking a greater portion of the upper view. The Quick Draw skin, on the other hand, maintains a posture consistent with most other skins, providing a stable and evenly distributed improvement in overall screen visibility.

So there you are, this is the outfits I'm currently using, Share yours in the comment!

Headwear: Max Viewing (From s2 bp)
Upper Body: Panicproof Vest (From s6 bp)
Lower Body: Arch Rival Skirt (From s3 bp)
Upper Back: Skyward Grace (From s1 bp)

Clearly, there are some clothes which you shouldn't wear in-game, for one simple reason: they make you extremely visible in darkness or smoke.
