Assault Soldier Gadgets and Equipment
With the various gadgets, the Assault Soldier can show his true strength. You have access to anti-tank mines and grenades, a type of rocket launcher (anti-tank rifle), and dynamite!
- Anti-tank Grenade: This gadget is a bundle of grenades that is effective against vehicles. Upon contact with a vehicle, it detonates and causes a lot of damage to the target vehicle. However, do not throw this bundle at vehicles that are very close, as the AOE damage can also be quite painful for you.
- Anti-tank Mine: These mines deal significant damage to vehicles. They explode when a vehicle drives over them. If you place several mines close to each other, you can quickly destroy a vehicle.
- Anti-tank Rifle: A type of rocket launcher that can destroy vehicles or buildings. The disadvantage of this weapon is that it requires a stable position before you can shoot it. Good against vehicles or to create new paths.
- Dynamite: The function of dynamite or sticky bombs is already known from other games: you attach the dynamite charge to a target and can then detonate it from a distance. With the area damage from the explosion, you can also eliminate infantry groups.
As you can see, the gadgets of the Assault Soldier are versatile. Depending on the situation, you should equip yourself and counter the enemy. Do you have tips for other players who prefer the Assault Soldier class? Let us know in the comments.
