Meet Val of the Medic class, the latest Hunter to join Evolve’s cast of characters who’ll be taking on the mighty Goliath and other monsters like it.

Over the last week, we were introduced to Markov of the Assault class, Griffin of the Trapper class, and Hank of the Support class.

Today, GameInformer introduces one of the characters available to the Medic class, Val.

She’s a badass, Medgun-wielding Medic who can revive and heal fellow Hunters with ease in an effect similar to that of the Medic’s healing tool in Team Fortress 2, for reference.

Her capabilities go beyond simply healing, however. Val also carries an Anti-Material Rifle that can be used to highlight and expose enemy weak points. When other Hunters fire at limbs highlighted by Val’s rifle, they’ll score extra damage, which can be especially devastating when aiming at the head.

In addition, her Tranquillizer Rifle can slow enemies while highlighting their position, similar to the Trapper’s abilities.

Lastly, every Medic is equipped with a Healing Burst that will partially but instantaneously heal teammates within its effective radius.

Ultimately, Medic players will need to balance their tactics between keeping everyone’s health topped off and highlighting or slowing down Monsters.

Of all the classes revealed so far, which one holds your interest the most? Let us know in the comments!

In continuing coverage of Turtle Rock’s next-gen first-person shooter Evolve, we learn about two new Hunter classes; the Trapper and Support.

Earlier this week, we met Markov, a member of the Assault class. Today, courtesy of GameInformer, we meet Griffin, a member of the Trapper class, and Hank, a member of the Support class.

As we learned in our previous report, each class type in Evolve is made up of a number of different characters, each with their own unique abilities, along with one ability that is shared amongst all members of that class.

The Trapper

As a Trapper, Griffin’s job is to detect and contain monsters.

To help him achieve this, he carries a special Harpoon Gun that will tether creatures to Griffin, preventing them from escaping. As a monster, attacking Griffin will allow you to break free, but at the cost of diverting your attention away from other Hunters.

Griffin also can aid in reconnaissance tactics by placing Sound Spikes at chosen locations to help ping monsters within range. He also has access to a handy submachine gun for offensive measures whenever he isn’t on trapping duties.

Shared between all Trappers is the Mobile Arena ability which creates a large dome-shaped energy field that keeps friends and foes from entering or leaving the area. This ability, along with their responsibility to trap and control monsters, makes the Trapper class a key player in Evolve’s 4 vs. 1 gameplay.

The Support

Meet Hank. His job is to ensure fellow Hunters keep kicking ass.

With his Shield Gun, Hank can temporarily grant teammates invulnerability which can be especially helpful when used in conjunction with the Medic’s healing abilities.

For offensive measures, Hank can bust out his assault rifles to deal some damage, but he also has access to a nifty laser cutter that can not only deal extra damage, but also be used to literally point to enemy locations at the same time. He can also call in a devastating area-of-effect attack called the Orbital Barrage – a fantastic ability used alongside the Trapper’s Harpoon Gun.

As with all members of the Support class, Hank has the ability to cloak himself for short periods of time, which is great for setting up surprise attacks or while reviving allies.
