Lastly, the L56A3 Smartgun tracks enemies, acting as an auto-aim. Blastwave 'unleashes a concussion blast around you, damaging enemies and knocking them back,' which is great for when swarms overwhelm you. The Demolisher's Micro Rockets ability 'launches three rockets that detonate on impact, creating a large shockwave that damages and stumbles your foes,' another great choice for crowd control. You can't go wrong with the shotgun, either. The Frage Grenade is great for taking out swarming groups. The Gunner's Overclock ability 'increases fire rate for you and nearby allies,' as well as your reload speed, making it the perfect ability to take down armored enemies like Warriors. If you're playing solo, the Gunner and Demolisher are by far the best classes to start with.

So even if you're experimenting with a new class, you're progressing your character level and ability to take on tougher missions. Each Loadout Kit, as they're called, has its own set of experience levels that increase the more you use them and unlock class-specific Core Perks and Modifiers.īut using any kit increases your overall player level, which adds a bit to your Combat Rating. There are five classes in Fireteam Elite: Gunner, Demolisher, Technician, Doc, and Recon. Experiment with Classes and Loadout Kits Early
