As the echo of jet engines fills the air, you are once again engulfed in the harrowing turmoil of warfare. Amidst the cacophony of screams and chaos, your determination to accomplish your mission drives you forward.
The big question arises: which class will you choose to play? More importantly, how can you maximize the potential of your selected class? Winning this game demands not just individual prowess but a commitment to teamwork. Therefore, let’s explore each class and discuss strategies for leveraging their strengths effectively.
Understanding Open and Closed Weapons
Before we delve into the specifics of each class, remember that you can equip any weapon regardless of the class you select. Fancy a Recon equipped with a shotgun? Go right ahead! As long as you’re not in a modified server mode requiring closed weapons, the choice is yours.
That said, it’s advisable to stick with your class’s intended weapons. Doing so unlocks unique bonuses that significantly enhance performance:
- Assault Rifle Proficiency: Enhanced draw times with Assault Rifles.
- SMG Proficiency: Improved hip-fire accuracy when utilizing SMGs.
- LMG Proficiency: Quicker aiming down sights (ADS) transitions and negated sprint speed penalties.
- Sniper Rifle Proficiency: Less weapon sway, faster rechambering, and improved breath control.
Embracing the unique attributes of each class typically results in a more rewarding gameplay experience.
Assault Class
Overview
This is likely the first class you’ll engage with, and in skilled hands, it can be incredibly effective.
As a frontline warrior, your role is to advance and neutralize foes while seizing control points. Leveraging your unique ability, Mission Focused, your team relies on you to flank enemies effectively. Although venturing alone might seem appealing, this class truly excels when coordinated with a close-knit squad while utilizing the Rally Squad ability.
You have access to a secondary weapon, along with various gadgets, carbines, DMRs, or shotguns. If you opt for an additional primary weapon, however, be prepared for a trade-off with reduced ammunition in your main weapon; choosing a gadget can ensure you retain more rounds.
Class Perks
When you spot an icon featuring a small blue triangle, it signifies specialization for the Assault class. While Assault Rifles are accessible to all classes, specific equipment such as the Assault Ladder and certain grenades are exclusive to this class. You also gain the adrenaline injector, boosting your resistance and sprint capabilities momentarily.
The Assault class boasts two subclasses, known as Training Paths, accessible via the leftmost icon in the loadout menu:
- Enhanced reloading times.
- Greater agility in shooting.
- Additional grenades.
Unlock the Frontliner path after attaining rank 20 by completing Assault challenges. This path grants:
- Improved health regeneration.
- Reduced fall damage.
- An adrenaline rush effect for squadmates respawning with you.
This choice engenders distinctly different playstyles, allowing for a more strategic or aggressive approach.
Engineer Class
Overview
In maps of medium to large scale, vehicles play a crucial role. Your responsibilities range from maneuvering tanks to control zones to repairing vital equipment in the field. As an expert tactician and mechanical specialist, your success hinges on maintaining vehicle integrity with your essential repair tool gadget and ensuring enemy vehicles remain impaired.
Stay near your tanks to receive reduced explosive damage while managing enemy threats. Mismanagement of vehicles can lead to catastrophic losses, so avoid reckless driving without a tactical plan.
Your combat specialty lies in SMGs and launchers. With a focus on SMGs, you gain superior hip-fire control, bolstering your effectiveness in close-quarters engagements as you support Assault class teammates.
Against enemy vehicles, utilize your launcher or place anti-tank mines to thwart their damage potential promptly.
Class Perks
The Engineer specialty icon resembles a blue bolt with notches. Class-specific equipment includes launchers, vehicle mines, and specific anti-tank grenades.
You will begin with the Anti-Armour training path, which provides these bonuses:
- Damaging enemy vehicles disrupts their repair efforts.
- Faster reload times for launchers.
- Additional two rockets, for a total of three.
To unlock the Combat-Engineer path after reaching rank 20 and completing Engineer challenges, you will receive:
- Ability to repair a vehicle by remaining inside.
- Extended gadget usage time before overheating.
- Enhanced repair capabilities for your team’s gadgets.
The Anti-Armour path is ideal for focusing on enemy technology, while the Combat-Engineer path offers advantages for maintaining your team’s assets.
Support Class
Overview
War has ravaged the battlefield, but your mission is to mend your team and restore hopes of victory. If you encounter a downed teammate, it’s your responsibility to swiftly drag them to safety and revive them. This action not only prevents ticket losses but also earns you valuable XP!
Utilize your Class Active ability for faster revives, or employ your defibrillator for an instant revival if time is short. By rubbing the defibrillator together, you can fully restore them to 100% HP, while a quick revival brings them back at 50% HP.
In addition to reviving comrades, you have multiple options for supporting your team:
| Item Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Supply Bag | Drop a bag filled with ammo to help teammates regenerate health. |
| Supplies | Teammates can directly interact with you for additional ammo and health. |
| Deployable Cover | Place a shield for your allies to protect them while reviving under fire. |
| Smoke Grenade | Confuse snipers by throwing smoke, allowing revives and giving assault troops a chance to rush in. |
Clearly, the support class offers complex capabilities requiring a strong team-oriented mentality. While you can rely on your LMG proficiency for covering fire and eliminating threats, staying at the back is often the most effective strategy to ensure your teammates are well-supplied.
Class Perks
Anything that enhances the Support class is marked by a blue cross icon in your loadout. Incendiary and Smoke grenades, as well as the defibrillator and supply pouch, are exclusive to this class.
Your training paths here differ significantly. Initially, you start with the Combat Medic path, which grants:
- Enhanced capabilities for defensive gadgets.
- Health regeneration while assisting downed allies.
- Faster dragging and reviving rates for teammates.
The Fire Support path becomes available at rank level 20 via Support class challenges, providing a more aggressive perspective for those looking to engage from the frontlines:
- Improved aim when shooting from mounted positions.
- Reduced splash damage from explosives while prone.
- Faster ammo resupply via the supply bag.
If being on the frontlines with your teammates aligns with your style, Fire Support is tailored for you. With numerous ways to assist your squad, choose the path aligning best with your gameplay preferences.
Recon Class
Overview
As you navigate through muddy terrain and smoke-filled chaos, a glimmer catches your eye—an enemy sniper has your location in their sights. Can you outmaneuver them, or will you fall victim like many before?
The Recon class serves as your backline defense, adept at wielding sniper rifles and gathering intelligence on enemy positions. Whether identifying foes using the Aim-Spot trait or deploying a recon drone for aerial insight, the Recon class equips your frontline teammates with essential information before engaging in combat.
Instead of adopting a static role, the Recon class thrives on mobility, covering various sightlines and spotting enemies as they move.
Class Perks
Gear that contributes to the Recon class is represented by a blue square icon, featuring options such as the Recon Drone, Proximity Sensor, and powerful C4 explosives.
Initially, you start with the Sniper training path and the UAV Overwatch ability, which offers these enhancements:
- Killing an enemy with a headshot prevents their revival.
- Inflicting damage reveals enemies on the mini-map for your team.
- Improved spotting efficiency while scoped in.
Complete the Recon assignments to unlock the Spec-Ops training path after hitting rank 20, which provides a stealthier option with bonuses:
- Faster concealment when going prone.
- Reveal enemy gadgets to you and your team.
- Quieter movements, making you harder to detect.
The Spec-Ops path allows for a more aggressive playstyle, letting you stealthily infiltrate enemy lines and create disorder among their ranks, resulting in a more versatile Recon approach, seamlessly integrating scouting and intelligence-gathering roles.
