Recon

If close-quarters combat isn’t for you, then look to the Recon class for sniping and other vantage point abilities. Recons like Paik, Casper, and Rao look to avoid direct confrontation and instead look for backdoor opportunities for themselves and the team. Their equipment interferes with enemy systems and creates weaknesses through subversion and sharing information about enemy positions.

WEAPON PROFICIENCY

Recon soldiers are extra deadly with Sniper Rifles, as their scopes are immediately and constantly steady.

CLASS GADGET

Recons always carry an Insertion Beacon that allows friendlies to spawn on the location it's placed. Choose a point of concealment, deep behind enemy lines.
