Classes
Your class decides what you carry into a match. Press your Open Class Selection key during a match to choose one. If you change class while alive, the new class usually starts when you next respawn.
Available classes
Section titled “Available classes”| Class | What it’s for |
|---|---|
| Mid-range fighting. | |
| Like the Rifleman, usually with a semi-automatic gun. | |
| Close-quarters fighting. | |
| Mobile, heavy support fire for your team. | |
| Healing your team. Medics also see medic callouts. | |
| Long-range fighting and spotting the enemy. | |
| Mid-range suppressing fire so your team can advance. | |
| Mid to long-range fighting with explosives and rockets. | |
| Leading the team, with a radio to call in air strikes and support, and a war cry. |
Some classes need a certain player rank to unlock, and some are limited to a few players per team. A class shows as full when your team has reached its limit, and limits grow with your team’s size. Some game modes relax these rules, and some don’t use classes at all.
Once you’ve prestiged, you no longer need the player rank for any class.
Class levels
Section titled “Class levels”Every class has three levels, and each level has its own kit. You start at the first level. To unlock the others, you need enough class EXP.
Class EXP is separate from your main EXP, and each class has its own. You earn it for a class by playing as that class:
- Getting kills and assists
- Healing teammates
- Playing the objective
Use the arrows next to a class on the selection screen to switch between its levels. A higher level changes your kit instead of just adding to it, so an earlier level can still suit how you play.
Earning the maximum class EXP in every class unlocks the Jack of All Trades, Master of All achievement.
Kits and nations
Section titled “Kits and nations”You can’t build your own kit. Each class level has a set kit, and the guns in it depend on your team’s nation, so a Rifleman on one team won’t carry the same rifle as a Rifleman on another.
See Weapons for how each kind of weapon works.
