Generic Soldier Class [WOTC]
Just like the name sounds, this is an easy-to-use, basic soldier class with only a single skill-tree. However, looks can be deceiving…
While most soldier classes get their strength from learning tactical abilities, the Generic Soldier gets its strength from raw stats. With only a single perk-tree dedicated to the pistol, this class gets much higher general stat-bonuses than other classes do.
Most default classes – by the time they reach max rank – will have gained about +6 HP, and about +15 Offense. The Generic Soldier class will have (at max rank) +12 HP and +30 Offense.
Note that, bonuses are in addition to default "rookie" Soldier stats. Bonuses to Hacking and Will remain unchanged from that of other classes.
Generic Soldiers can still benefit from random "XCOM" abilities when the Training Center is unlocked.

Safe to enable mid-campaign (however, it may take a while before they begin to show up, due to a ClassDeck already having been constructed by the game). This class will be available immediately in new campaigns.
