Duelist

Entry Fraggers

Self-sufficient operatives designed to take opening engagements. Using mobility and flashes, they burst onto sites to carve out space and secure the crucial first bloods.

Initiator

Recon & Setup

The info gatherers. They flush enemies out of hidden corners and contest neutral space using deployable scouting tools and precise flashbangs to assist the Duelists.

Controller

Vision Denial

Masters of site slicing. By placing smokes on key chokepoints, they limit enemy sightlines, allowing the team to safely cross open terrain and plant the spike.

Sentinel

Site Anchors

Defensive specialists who lock down areas. Their traps and passive information tools prevent flanking and significantly stall enemy pushes on defense.
