Description:

The Assaulter is a close range class with improved Special Grenades that carries an Assault Rifle and Pistol. Pushes the front line.

As part of the class design, the Assaulter gets a free grenade slot to open up their loadout options, allowing them to bring multiple Special Grenades or other items. They can additionally swap out their pistol for Underbarrel ammunition packs as an alternative.

The class is made with a modern themed playthrough in mind, but of course is not limited to. It is balanced around a large varied squad against lots of enemies and making meaningful choices when selecting abilities, with different viable sub-roles within the class.
By default random bonus AWC abilities are disabled. The reasoning is that there is no need for it because there are enough options in the ability tree and the class has everything it needs to fill the role. Other roles are intended to be filled by other classes. AWC can be re-enabled through the config but there is no support to prevent duplicate/redundant abilities as is.

The Assaulter has three ability trees: Close Quarters, Moving Target & Backup Weapon. The class rely on abilities and perks from other mods.

This class is heavily inspired by Alpha115’s Vanguard Class and requires it for some abilites. They do not conflict and can be used together.
