Armourer
Introduction
The Armourer is my all-time favorite class. That's becaue he has so much abilities, and, he is the heart of he defence. He can build Sentry Guns, resupply the team, and keep an eye out for incoming enemies.
Defence Capabilities
He is the heart of the defence. His Sentry Gun will mow down every enemy in range, and his tripmines will kill the lucky ones that survived. His tripmines are very usefull too. With his camera, he can keep an eye on abandoned corridors, so enemies cant sneak in unnoticed
Offence Capabilities
He can't do much in offence.
Special Abilities / Tricks
Well, his equipment provides most of his special stuff, check it out!
How does this class stand up to other classes?
Ranger : If you can catch him, the shotgun rips him up nicely. It's better if you can get him in range of your sentry. Swiss cheese.
Marksman : The same as the Ranger. Just keep an eye out for those dots.
Commando : These guys are tough. They are slower, but they have armour and weapons like no other class. They can really screw with you, and your sentry. If you can avoid it, don't get in a fight with him, unless it's from behind, or when they are low on health. Your sentry helps a lot as well.
Demolitionist : Not as well armoured as the commando, their mortar will still blow you and your sentry in little bits. Be carefull, hit from behind.
Field Medic : Don't let them get close enough to infect them, and you'll be allright. The shotgun is more then enough to put you on an even footing. Remember that they regenerate health, so letting them walk away is useless.
Arsonist : Circle strafe. The HG is slow, slow, slow... Circle strafe around him and keep om hitting him with the shotgun, but only if you really have to, since with his 300 armour, it'll take a long time. Get him in range of your sentry, and it'll take a long time to take him out, it will chew him up good. You'll probably never run into one of these boys though, they tend to stay near their flag, like you.
Heavy Gunner : Stay far, far away. They can set you on fire, and it hurts a lot. Fast, with decent armour, they are hard to take on. Try get them by your sentry, but if they toss a nail grenade underneath it, it's almost certainly destroyed. Flammable, treat with caution.
Saboteur : Your worst enemy. They sabotage your sentry, but aren't too touch, so if you detect one, or your sentry does, you can usually hit them pretty hard.
Armourer : it's pretty even. Chances are you'll never see one, just hope if you do, it's not some l33t player with mad skillz. Other that that... Keep shooting.
