Assault
Frontline breacher
The all-rounder and best class to learn on. Pushes objectives, breaches rooms, and holds the line with balanced firepower.
Assault RifleThe role
Front-line rifleman — the kit that takes ground and holds it.
Assault is the kit every squad is built around. You carry the rifle that wins the mid-range duels most maps are decided by, and the grenades that pry defenders out of the corners they think are safe. When a push stalls, it is the Assault who un-stalls it — first through the door, first onto the flag, first to trade when a trade is what the fight needs.
Nothing about the kit is specialised, and that is the point. You have the firepower to answer almost anything and the tools to make your own openings. Learn the Assault first: master the rifle here and every other kit becomes a variation on a fight you already understand.
The tip of the spear. Push objectives, breach rooms, and win the mid-range duels that decide most fights. Balanced enough to carry a match on aim alone while you learn the rest of the roster.

- Smoke Grenade
- Fast push tempo
Class tactics
Own the mid-range
The assault rifle is at its best from ten to forty metres — far enough that SMG flankers can't close, near enough that snipers can't settle. Fight at that distance on purpose. Pick lanes that keep the enemy inside it and step back from any duel that drifts to the extremes of the map.
Make the opening
Lead with a smoke, then swing wide while the enemy is blind. A breach charge on a wall the defenders aren't watching is worth more than any headline kill — it turns a held room into a two-way fight and lets the squad flood in behind you.
Grenades are for chokes
A frag thrown into open ground is a frag wasted. Save it for the doorway, the stairwell, the sandbagged corner where defenders bunch up. Cook it a beat so it airbursts before they can back off the blast.
You are the spearhead a Medic follows and an Engineer clears armor for. Push in a knot, not a line — the Medic revives the trade you lose, the Engineer kills the tank that would end the run, and you keep the muzzle pointed at whatever's next.
