Scout
Grenade: Concussion
Beacon: Pulse Sensors

The Scout is the fastest and weakest armor. It is only able to carry 2 weapons and limited ammo, but it has a very high speed on the ground and can blast itself enourmous distances with Concussion Grenades. It is a good but fragile choice for flag captures. The Scout doesn't have a lot of jetpack energy but it recharges at a fast rate, especially with an energy pack.

Special Abilities If you are touched by a Scout you will be blinded temporarily. While you are blinded you will not be able to put enemies on your team's sensor network by looking at them, which means you won't be able to see cloaked enemies at all.

Spy
Grenade: Plastique Explosives
Beacon: Satchel Charges

The Spy is a light but powerful armor that excels at destroying turrets, generators, and deployables via Plastique Explosives. The Spy is the only armor to use the Magnum and Cloaking Pack. Study the Sensor Network Guide to learn how to escape enemy detection.

Special Abilities The Spy can make use of enemy teleporters, which is often more useful than just destroying the teleporter. The Spy can also open enemy force field doors. The Spy's footsteps don't make sound, allowing you to sneak up on enemies.

Sniper
Grenade: Decoy
Beacon: Sensor Jammer

The Sniper can carry the Laser Rifle, Sniper Rifle, and Cybernetic Laser which are all powerful, long range weapons. The Sniper is a fast but relatively weak armor.

Special Abilities The Sniper is the only armor able to carry sniping weapons. When a Decoy is used it is randomly placed directly in front of or directly behind the player that used it. This can confuse enemies as to which is the Decoy and which is the Sniper.

Mercenary
Grenade: Generic
Beacon: Speed Boost

The Mercenary is a jack-of-all-trades. Not too slow, yet relatively powerful, this armor is often overlooked for a more specialized role.

Special Abilities The use of Speed Boosts sets the Mercenary apart from the other armors. When skiing and practice, Boosts can move the otherwise slow Mercenary across the map quickly.

Burster
Grenade: Incendiary
Beacon: Targeting Beacons

The Burster armor carries the most destructive weapons of all the medium armors. While it can carry many types of heavy weapons, it is somewhat limited on ammo. This armor can be used as a base destroyer but due to its lack of speed and ammo capacity it can be a challenge to get to the enemy base quickly.

Special Abilities The Burster is the only armor that can carry the Demolition Pack and the only medium armor to carry Mortars.

Engineer
Grenade: EMP Grenades
Beacon: Cloaked Camera

The most important armor for defense, the Engineer can deploy everything in the inventory. As a defenisve armor, it isn't able to carry much ammo. The Dart Rifle can be used to damage and slow enemies before they get close to your base. After that, your deployable defenses, EMPs, and other weapons can take care of most threats.

Special Abilities Upon touching another team member, the Engineer will repair them a small amount. It is also the only armor able to use the Engineer Repair Gun and Power Core Pack. The Engineer normally carries 2 Repair Kits, 3 with an Ammo Pack. Like the Spy, an Engineer can use enemy teleporters and open enemy forcefield doors. Also you can defuse Plastique Explosives and Demolition Packs by touching them, although occaisionally that can fail.

Infiltrator
Grenade: Cloak
Beacon: Teleport Beacon

This armor can only carry 3 weapons but it is a little bit faster than the other medium armors. A specialty armor, the Infiltrator's main purpose is for getting in and out of large enemy bases such as Scarabrae or Broadside.

Special Abilities Using Teleport Beacons, Cloaking Grenades, and the Teleport Pack you can easily get past defenses and confuse enemies. Click here for more information. The Infiltrator can also use the Command Laptop to take over turrets.

Cyborg
Grenade: Mortar Bomb
Beacon: Emergency Force Field

One of the slowest armors, the Cyborg can carry the most powerful weapons with plenty of ammo. It is also the strongest armor. You may be in trouble if caught out in the open though, as lighter armors can be hard to catch. Indoors however, a Cyborg can be very hard to get rid of.

Special Abilities Armed with its innate ability to put up Emergency Force Fields the Cyborg is best for base raping. It is the only heavy armor that can use shields.

Behemoth
Grenade: Phoenix Missiles
Beacon: Armageddon Missiles

Another slow heavy armor, the Behemoth packs alot of artillery. While not as strong as the Cyborg, the Behemoth can hold its own better outdoors with Phoenix and Armageddon Missiles. It cannot use shields, giving it a disadvantage indoors.

Special Abilities Carries portable Phoenix Missiles, allowing it to hit fast targets even around corners. Armageddon Missiles are also very deadly and have a large blast radius.

Chaingun
Shoot alot of bullets at your enemies with the Chaingun. Very useful for hitting airborne enemies.

Plasma Gun
This gun shoot slow moving, high powered balls of plasma. Great for killing someone point blank, destorying small turrets, and base infiltration. They can also set the enemy on fire for a short time.

Grenade Launcher
Good for base infiltration... these can bounce grenades around corners. The Grenade Launcher is for medium range combat -- too far and your grenades won't reach, too close and they bounce harmlessly past your enemy.

Mortar
Blast anything and everything to little bits. They have a very large blast radius.

Hyper Spinfusor
This weapon can fire a large number of discs to flood an entire area with explosions. Although you can't carry much ammo for it, the Hyper Spinfusor makes for a good surprise for someone trying to dogfight you without one.

Disc Launcher
Standard issue.

EMP Grenade Launcher
Anyone within the blast radius of these electromagnetic pulse grenades will be short-circuted temporarily, rendering energy weapons and jet packs temporarily useless. Good for heavy armors to ground the faster moving lights and for catching that flag carrier.

Guided Rocket Launcher
If the your target is in your sights when you fire this will shoot a seeking rocket that will follow them while they are in your view. Otherwise just fires a straight dumb fire rocket. Rockets have alot of force when they explode, have a large blast radius and can knock players away, though they don't do much damage.

Rocket Launcher
Shoots a dumb fire rocket. Rockets have alot of force when they explode, have a large blast radius and can knock players away, though they don't do much damage.

Sniper Rifle
This rifle shoots high powered bullets that don't give away your position like the Laser Rifle. However, the bullets are not armor piercing so body shots will do very little damage. Face shots are what this weapon is about. Click here for a better explanation.

Dart Rifle
Shoots darts filled with poison that slowly leech away your enemies health. The poison also affects their mobility, slowing them down for a little while. This makes for an easier kill. Darts will not penetrate Shield Pack nor Cyborg shields.

Magnum
The Spy's weapon, the Magnum can take out light armors with only a few shots. It is a short or medium range weapon, it won't reach long distances. The Magnum is completely silent when you change weapons to it, great for sneaking up on players.

Railgun
A well rounded weapon. It is very accurate at great distances and does moderate damage. However, it's main use is not to be a sniping weapon. It is good for taking down shields. Help destroy a turret's shields from afar, works especially well if one of your teammates is attacking the turret at the same time. If a player is shielded when hit with this weapon then massive amounts of damage are inflicted on the shielded player.

Blaster
Your everday Blaster with an increased range to make it a bit more useful.

Laser Rifle
The Sniper's best friend for assasination. A very dangerous weapon. Be careful after shooting it because the red beam this weapon lets out gives away your position. Head shots do alot of damage but face shots do even more. Click here for a better explanation.

Shockwave Cannon
Releases a blast of energy that knocks anything in its radius away. Doesn't do much damage though.

Flame Thrower
Torch enemies after mastering this short ranged weapon. Great indoors.

Sensor Jammer Pack
Suppresses pulse sensors. Check out the Sensor Network Guide for more information.

Cloaking Pack
Renders you invisible (to anyone with a 3D card) and supresses pulse sensors. If detected by motion sensors or enemy players then you will have a red arrow above your head. Although... there is a way around this...

StealthShield Pack
A Shield Pack and Sensor Jammer Pack hybrid. This shield will not stop EMPs or poison darts.

Cybernetic Laser
This shoulder mounted laser draws from your armors energy cells to fire a laser blast similiar to that of the Laser Rifle, although it is alot less powerful. Using this in conjunction with another sniping weapon is a deadly combination. Its high drain on your energy cells cause them to not recharge for a few seconds. This pack requires a free weapon slot.

Auto Rocket Cannon
Upon activation this shoulder mounted launcher shoots a rocket. This allows you to fire off rockets while fighting with another weapon. This can help a Cyborg hold his own on open ground.

Command Laptop
This pack allows you to control turrets without being at a command station. Also, you can attach this to enemy turrets by touching them. After a few seconds, if you are still alive and the turret is not destroyed, the turret will be reprogrammed, converting it to your team. It takes the Spy longer to take over a turret than the Engineer or Infiltrator.
