While these classes have many weapons and abilities, the options are not as much as there are for Titus. Players can customize the characters and create different loadouts that will cover them in different situations.
These classes also have a perk tree in the Operations mode that can be unlocked using Requisitions to help improve the abilities. Here’s a breakdown of all the six classes for players to know how they work.
