Description


The is an all round useful class. This class is both capable of deathmatching as well as harassing the enemy's assets. The Grenade Launcher allows this class to spam around corners and to take out generators efficiently. This weapon will explode on impact when impacting either a foe or one of their assets, otherwise it will bounce off surfaces for a short period of time before exploding. Outdoors, the NJ4 SMG quickly eliminates foes. The NJ4 SMG's shots need to be lead slightly to allow for the fast moving projectiles to travel.

Recommended Perks
Perk 1

Bounty Hunter is probably the best choice, you will likely be doing a lot of killing, and thus will get quite a reward. A strong tool for team play, use these credits to upgrade your base, buy vehicles, and call in tactical strikes. Nothing else really compares for one of the most kill heavy classes in the game.

Perk 2

Potential Energy is basically free propulsion when you have the shield pack. Use your own weapons as well as others' to move around the map easily.

Survivalist is also amazing, being constantly in the fray means that the bonus health and bonus energy (for your shield pack) is much appreciated.
