Classes
Overview
Classes represent playable robot characters with unique Primary, Secondary, and Passive Abilities, Class-locked Perks, and all Classes have access to the same pool of Common Perks. Each Class and combination of Perks brings a new style of action and strategy to each Run.
Experience and Perks
During a single Run the player will gain experience points to level up their Class for that run. Each level the player is given a choice of 2 or 3 randomly selected perks from the Class-locked Perks and Common Perks pools, with the number available to choose from dependent on certain Basecamp Upgrades. Experience, Levels, and Perks are all reset at the end of each run.
The first available Class is Guardian, the rest can be unlocked by achieving various goals in-game. Find out more about each class, and how to unlock them, in the Class Roster below, or in the Class Area under the Locker Room shack in the Basecamp in-game.
Class List
Guardian has many tricks up his sleeve, spanning from the strength of his shields to the raw power of his gun-based skills, meaning there is a bit of everything for anyone. Want to resist every enemy you come across? Pop Guardian's special ability and let the bullets rip into you without taking a single point of damage. Need a pack a punch? Guardian's Top Quality ability allows for the topmost shots of any magazine or energy bar to gain a hefty damage boost. Want an explosive finale? Guardian's wide array of class skills will allow you to not only fill your bullets with explosive fervor, but also treat your shield as a battering ram of destruction. Charge into crowds and go wild!
Recon has a playstyle focus on getting up close and personal with your enemies. Engage your thrusters and cover enormous ground with your newfound ability to Blink, leaping great distances and catapulting enemies from your landing site to kingdom come. Pick off enemies tactfully and charge Recon's Overcharge ability, transforming the already potent laser dagger into a device of decisive execution. Explore Recon's wide range of class skills, allowing you to bounce, slide and prance with grace through hordes of badbots, causing carnage in your midst, then zip from the line of fire to continue the killing... or jump right back into the midst of the mayhem. Recon truly embodies both the fast and the furious.
Engineer sees a unique blend of elemental chaos and calling in the troops, allowing you to juggle whether you or one of your little helpers faces the threats head-on. Speaking of little helpers, use Engineer's special ability to spawn some robotic brothers to fight alongside you; small, distracting drones, strapped with firepower to boot. Access a wide variety of class skills that open a world of pure incineration that a megalomaniac chocolate factory owner would be proud of. And at the end of it all, scoop up your handful of broken circuitry and build anew, utilising the scrap for various hijinks. Don't we all love a family reunion.
Commando presents a progressive challenge for the explosion-minded, with a bevy of booms in all the forms you can think of at your whim. Utilise a wrist-mounted launcher with Commando's special ability that fires a ballistic blitz at enemies, reducing the poor soul who sees the tip too late to a smouldering pile of ashes. Ever wanted a permanent shotgun at your hip? Well now you have one! Lock 'n' load with Shorty, Commando's melee override; aim and fire a handful of scattered, high velocity pellets to rip and tear your foes to shreds, knocking away those who dare resist. Channel your inner rage with Fury, turning the tide of dirtied motor oil into your very own bodysurfing opportunity. Then, just when the enemies are turning on their toes, prevent their retreat with a plethora of the finest aniline antics you have every witnessed. How do you like your cordite in the morning?
Ranger provides a new twist on the old classics, combining stealth with range to create a fine-tuned machine of amorphic assassination. Disappear with ranger's special ability, leaving behind nothing but the kick of dust from your feet, leaving you free to explore the battlefield. Ready your servos and equalize your trajectories with ranger's javelin, an ranged melee override that adds a high damage, low cooldown device for dismantling a single enemy in precise fashion. Watch your precision pay off with ranger's class skill, as your critical hit multiplier increases with every successful shot be warned though, even the best marksman loses their focus once hit. Once all is said and done, your enemies (literally) won't even know what hit them.
The robot is a wizard. 'Nuff said.
Superbot provides a unique experience over every other class. You don't just use weapons: you eat them! Superbot regains health, levels up his blaster, and generates powercells all by consuming weapons. Slice through the competition with a bite-size Captain McSlice, ready to rip and tear through any badbots who stand between you and your goal. Switch into high gear and race towards victory with overdrive mode, boosting your speed by ludicrous amounts. A truly heroic powerhouse in a fun sized package.
