Classes

***Not to be confused with Roles, a similar game mechanic with a different name.***
**Classes** are a feature added in the v0.8.8 "*Stay classy*" update on December 2, 2019. They are a major part of gameplay on the Cobalt Map and are chosen by the player upon joining a match. Each Class has different Perks, and sometimes items to start the game with. The player has 20 seconds to choose a class before one is randomly selected for them. After Class selection, the player will be teleported to a random spawn point close to their teammates. Classes are distinguishable from each other by their unique Helmet Visor and skin color.

## Strategy

* For the Scout, it is not wise to 1v1 another class, especially Tanks, Demos and Assaults.
	+ You can 1v1 a sniper though, as he will often have one of the Sniper Rifles which because of the Small Arms perk, makes it hard to hit you.
		- Be careful of their especially large first and last bullets, enhanced by their One in the Chamber.
* Another strategy is to hide in a tree, and then ambush any people that are passing by you.
* The Medic is often deadly with its perk, Windwalk, that some people use to rush assaults, snipers, demos and even tanks.
	+ Although it is not advised to try this if an enemy has a high damage gun such as the MP220, which will deplete your health quickly.
* Try getting a good scope for your DMR, which can destroy some low scope classes like the demo and tank.
* The Sniper is a hard class to use for a beginner, as its perks rely on hitting shots and killing people.
	+ But this class is a favorite for experienced players, because as soon as you start gaining kills, it’s hard to stop you.
* If you manage to get an AWM-S, your first last bullet will kill most classes in 1 hit. This is good as you do not get many close range weapons.
* The Assault usually has the highest DPS with its Firepower and Hollow-Points perk. This is devastating with a high fire rate gun such as the MAC-10 or the Vector.
* Try to get a good backpack and a lot of ammo, as you will burn through it quickly with most standard guns for that class.
* The Demo is one of the harder classes to use, as all of its perks rely on grenades. Most people just spam grenades when they see someone, though this is not recommended as your enemy can get away before it explodes.
* Before throwing a grenade, cook it a bit first so that when you throw it, it will explode on contact.
* If you know that you are going to die, try getting as close as possible to your enemy as you will drop grenades when you die.
* The Tank is the most used class of them all, mostly because of its Endless Ammo perk. Though this makes it as you might be in a full squad of tanks, making a unbalanced team.
* Give all of your ammo to your teammates, as they do need it, as where you don’t.
* If you get the M249 or PKP Pecheneg from a gold Airdrop, try getting the Splinter Rounds as this will basically make you a Lone Survivr.
* If you get the Master Scavenger perk, try using the M249 or PKP instead of the M134, as they deal more damage.
* You will become a prime target for others if you have a 100+ magazine gun, so try and keep a shotgun like the Saiga-12 or MP220 with you if a Scout or Medic rushes you.

## Trivia

* When selecting a class, the inside of the Twins Bunker is visible.
	+ Additionally, players will appear as inside the Twins Bunker when teammates look on the Minimap.
* Every class has two perks except for the Demo, which has three. This is likely because the Demo's perks are not as strong, while other classes have very powerful perks.
	+ But the third one is hidden, as it is for the Grenadier.
