[[Tribes: Ascend]] features a class-based loadout system. Each loadout specifies what type of armor you have, along with what weapons and items you can carry. Loadouts will only support two weapons, a melee object, a pack, and either grenades or mines. Players can select which loadout to use when either respawning or at an inventory station. There are 9 loadouts available, 3 were removed and combined into other loadouts.<ref>[http://hi-rez.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/297 February 2, 2012: Tribes Closed Beta Version 0.1.742.0 Patch Notes]</ref>  Loadouts may be acquired either through an upfront payment, or through playing the game for an unspecified amount of time.<ref>[http://forum.hirezstudios.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=234&t=37698&start=0 Why Loadouts?]</ref>  Paid-for loadouts will be available to the user instantly and permanently, while those who choose to unlock them through playing will have a much longer wait.  Players will be given three free loadouts, the Pathfinder, Soldier, and Juggernaut when they first start playing the game. One armor from each class.  As of patch 0.1.742.0, unlockable weapons have been introduced.
[[Tribes: Ascend]] features a class-based loadout system. Each loadout specifies what type of armor you have, along with what weapons and items you can carry. Loadouts can support up to four weapons, defending on which class is chosen, a melee weapon, a pack, and a belt item. Players can select which loadout to use by pressing a number on the numberpad to choose which armor you want and then choose the loadout. There are currently 12 loadouts that can be configured. Players can select which loadout to use when either respawning or at an inventory station. Each loadout can be configured with three weapons (four weapons for the Heavy armor) chosen from six different categories: Impact, Timed, Specialty, Automatic, Short Range, and Sidearm. Only one weapon from each category may be equipped on a loadout.

Latest revision as of 02:27, 15 February 2016

Tribes: Ascend features a class-based loadout system. Each loadout specifies what type of armor you have, along with what weapons and items you can carry. Loadouts can support up to four weapons, defending on which class is chosen, a melee weapon, a pack, and a belt item. Players can select which loadout to use by pressing a number on the numberpad to choose which armor you want and then choose the loadout. There are currently 12 loadouts that can be configured. Players can select which loadout to use when either respawning or at an inventory station. Each loadout can be configured with three weapons (four weapons for the Heavy armor) chosen from six different categories: Impact, Timed, Specialty, Automatic, Short Range, and Sidearm. Only one weapon from each category may be equipped on a loadout.

Classes

Light Armor

Light Armor is extremely fast and is best suited for flag capping and chasing. It may be outfitted to fill sniping or infiltration roles.

Medium Armor

Medium armor finds the balance between speed and survivability. It may also be outfitted to fill base building/repair or base disruption roles.

Heavy Armor

Heavy armor is extremely resilient and is unmatched in long range bombardment capabilities. It may be outfitted to fill Heavy on Flag or base destruction roles.

Armors Removed by Version 1.1

The following armors were removed when patch 1.1 was released.

Light Armor

Infiltrator

The Infiltrator fights on the mantra of 'sneak in, blow stuff up.' Defined by its stealth capabilities and heavy explosive sticky grenades, this class is exceptional on attack and vehicle destruction.

Pathfinder

Pathfinders have amazing speed and mobility, making exellent flag cappers. The addition of the Impact Nitron, which can knock flags from enemy hands, makes pathfinders solid chasers as well.

Sentinel

The Sentinel is a defensive sniper, with slow rate of fire but decent stopping power. Amred with its Claymores and Sensor Jammer, the Sentinel adds great flexibility to any base defense.

Medium Armors

Raider

The Raider is a durable attacking class. Its Grenade Launcher is lethal in close quarters, the Flare Grenade can mark targets and rediect tracking missiles, and the Shield pack provides enhanced durability.

Soldier

The basic Soldier is an easy to play, all around balanced class. Medium armor coupled with extra mobility from its energy pack make this class good for both attacking and defending bases.

Technician

The Technician is a class built for defense and repair, keeping base structures online and functional, and deploying Light Turrets to bolster defenses along the way.

Heavy

Brute

A heavy hitter with strong but basic weapons, the Brute prefers a direct approach to combat. Well-rounded against armored targets and exceptional durability give this class its strength.

Doombringer

Doombringer is the quintessential Anti-Armor class, wielding the might Saber Missile Launcher. The Doombringer can also deploy a Force Field.


Juggernaut

Juggernauts excel at long range bombardment, and are capable of devastating the exterior of enemy bases with the Fusion Mortar. Increased durability on top of their heavy armor allow Juggernauts to survive in mid-field, despite poor mobility.

Not Released / Removed

Architect (Not Released)

The Architect is a defensive building class effective against enemy infiltration as well as airborne targets on high speed runs.
