Abilities
Confirmed abilities
Only abilities named by an official source appear here. The complete kit has not been published.
Rocket attack
ConfirmedA powerful rocket attack that spends shared Advantage rather than AP.
Build value: Destroys cover and damages grouped enemies. The strongest confirmed reason to bank Advantage — and the strongest competitor to every other Advantage spender in the squad.
Squad partners
Who to pair the class with
Each pairing states whether the interaction is officially confirmed or our reading of confirmed mechanics.
- Heavy
Both hold the frontline; the Heavy absorbs attacks while the Soldier clears grouped enemies.
- Sharpshooter
Explosives strip cover, and the Sharpshooter punishes whatever is left exposed.
Strengths
- The widest confirmed toolkit of any Specialization: melee, grenades, heavy fire and rockets.
- Explosives destroy cover, which counters entrenched enemies that ranged attacks struggle with.
- Area damage is the natural answer to Outlaws, who are described as overwhelming with numbers.
Weaknesses
- The rocket ability uses shared Advantage, so it competes directly with Medic Morale Boost and Hawks' AP support.
- Destructible cover cuts both ways — removing cover can expose your own squad's next position.
- Close-to-medium range means it cannot solve long-range problems.
What we don't know yet
The game has not been released. These are open questions we have chosen not to guess at.
- The Advantage cost of the rocket attack.
- Grenade counts, radii and whether they are Utilities or abilities.
- Which cover types are destructible.
- Whether melee is a distinct ability set or a fallback attack.
