Notes
The AFS Specialist has some different abilities to the Soldier class. The Specialist is resistant to most damage types while wearing their advanced Hazmat suit. The Specialist can also use many helpful field tools such as the Cipher, Healing, and Repair tools. The Cipher Tool unlocks those the crates that you will find through out the maps. The Healing Disc allows you to help NPCs or other players in the heat of battle by keeping them alive. And lastly the Repair Tool repairs the targeted player's armor.
The Leech Gun does little damage compared to the Soldier's Chaingun but it has the benefit of simultaneously repairing or healing the user and those nearby.
The Ruin ability can be used on one enemy to deal damage while you focus your attentions on another, increasing your combat performance.
