We are at the finish line with the last unveiled player class for Killzone: Shadow Fall‘s multiplayer component, the Support Class.

Killzone: Shadow Fall boasts three playable classes, you can read about the previously revealed Scout and Assault classes and what they provide.

Looking for a high win/loss ratio in Killzone: Shadow Fall multiplayer? You won’t be able to achieve such feat without the Support Class. Support players provide the ability to give out ammo and health, and even call in Revive Drone’s to revive dead friendlies. Unlike the Scout and Assault classes, the Support class also has five secondary abilities to choose from instead of three. This makes the Support class one of the dominant classes you’ll see come November.

The primary ability of the Support Class is the Revive Drone, which deploys a hovering medical robot drone that can resuscitate critically wounded comrades. Dying teammates who accept medical treatment and are successfully revived will receive full health and additional ammo and a temporary 25% health boost. They also avoid losing a life and having to start over from a spawn point.

In addition to the primary Revive Drone ability, players can choose from one of the five secondary abilities provided below.

AIR SUPPORT DRONE

The Air Support Drone ability deploys a flying combat drone that protects the area indicated by the Support player and unleashes minigun fire on any enemies that get close.

SPAWN BEACON

The Spawn Beacon ability sets up a temporary in-field spawn point for teammates. Spawn Beacons can be placed almost anywhere in the map, but it takes awhile to install them and they’re vulnerable to enemy fire.

TURRET

The Turret ability deploys a sentry turret that will automatically target enemies in its forward facing field of view. While not indestructible, sentry turrets are ideal for guarding choke points and defending mission-critical areas.

SUPPLY BOX

This ability lets Support Class players set up a Supply Box, which team members can use to stock up on health and ammo. The box can be destroyed by enemy players.

SUPPORT TELEPORT

The Support Teleport ability allows Support class players to teleport directly to a teammate in need of medical or tactical assistance. The teleportation device has a lengthy recharge time after each use.

The Support class is in fact shaping up to be the most versatile playable class shown off by Guerilla yet. Are you excited for Killzone: Shadow Fall?

With about a month to go until Killzone: Shadow Fall releases, Guerilla is slowly releasing more and more information on the PlayStation 4 exclusive. Having covered the first playable class, the Assault Class, in our last post, we move on to the Scout Class.

Prefer stealth over strength? This is the class for you. The Scout Class provides players with the edge to be a strong force at distances while remaining stealth from enemy fire. The primary ability for Scout Players is of course, the Cloak ability. Seen in previous Killzone titles, Cloaking gives you the ability to go invisible. There are drawbacks however, as this ability isn’t fully enhanced unless holding a combat knife. Larger weapons will disrupt and limit this effect. No worries, as most advanced and talented Scout players will not be seen until it’s too late.

In addition to the primary Cloak ability, Scout players can choose from one of the following secondary abilities.

TACTICAL ECHO

The Tactical Echo ability lets Scout players send out a radar pulse that temporarily highlights all enemy troops and automata within range – even other Scouts using the Cloak ability. This information is then relayed to allied HUDs and radars.

EMERGENCY TELEPORT

Based on the same technology that lets Spawn Beacons to teleport troops into battle, the Emergency Teleport ability allows Scout Players to teleport to a random part of the map when they run into trouble. However, the teleportation device has a lengthy recharge time.

STUN DRONE

The Stun Drone ability deploys a flying combat drone that waits in an area until it detects an enemy nearby. When attacking, it flies directly at the enemy and detonates an E-Pulse that temporarily blinds and stuns them.

Scout players can go in alone, but knowing which ability to choose from and how to effectively use that ability will be a thing to master. Notice anything here that concerns you? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned to MP1st as the Support class will be introduced in the near future.
