starter class

Defiantly gonna be the survivalist, if I'm correct I can have two weapons so I'm gonna start leveling up my sniper then work on the SMG(if its possible to have like 2 primary weapons and no pistol).

Very possible

Not entirely, there was a pic of an orange weapon a week ago that was class specific w/ some nice effects on it.
So class will play a role, perhaps later in endgame gearing.
I'll see if I can dig it up.

If this really is true, then I'll be going Machinist for my first character and probably Outlaw for my second. From playing the beta on ps3 and reading most of the in-game achievements, I noticed that some of the combat achievements are named after "classes." Some of the Machinist ones involved using LMGs (of coarse), BMGs (one of my favorites from the beta) and Detonators (also a personal favorite.) I wouldn't be surprised if there was an Orange BMG that was Machinist only.

Sniper. Pick everything off with headshots, long range and up close

Were there not BMG pursuits for other classes? I might re-think my Veteran choice if getting an orange BMG is Machinist only. Damn we need a list to look at right now!!!

I didn't play the beta enough to know about 'orange' weapons - I take it orange is it's rarity/quality? Such as green, blue etc.

I'm planing on trying each one but my first character is going to be a survivalist. Weapon wise he's going to use sniper rifles for long ranged shots while using pistols to assault rifles for short to medium ranges and shotguns for close quarters. While keeping a grenade launcher and a rocket launcher for when these heavy weapons are needed. As for EGO powers I'm thinking cloak and over charge, for weapon buffs.

think im going to be a survivalist

hopefully the manual will explain what if any bonus' to weapons or kinds of weapons you can get then. during the beta I played outlaw and had fun with it. Was thinking either veteran or outlaw this time but if there is a certain class so to say that has a advantage in better weapon if it is a weapon I plan on having as a main I will use that class otherwise it wont matter my ark infiltrator outfit is what I wanted the most.

It's not that the Pursuits are class specific, they're just named after the classes. All classes can complete the Machinist Pursuits but if Machinists get bonuses for using BMG, LMG or Detonator, I'll be picking Machinist. Like the "Synergy" on this gun with Veteran.


Pic taken from this thread.

Either way i'll be playing a Machinist from the start. lol

[Dr EveHill]

hmmm I wonder maybe they will have it so each class has a synergy bonus on weapons. for example you found that rare one and it had a synergy for your class maybe if a different class it would have been a different synergy like say faster reload or higher melee strike?

anyone know for sure?
