Like we mentioned above, there are four different playable characters, or with the game format, we like to call it classes. Each comes with a unique ability and mastery of their own regarding the weapons and tactics. These four classes are The Hunter, The Ranger, The Brawler, and The Mystic. Let’s start off with The Ranger. The Ranger is the leader of the Outlaws. He is considered to be long dead after being executed by the state but has returned to bring justice. He comes off with a sinister-looking longbow as his prime weapon. His skills include being a sniper and master infiltrator. Apart from his Longbow, he can also use fire explosive arrows and flashbangs. The second member is the Hunter. Coming from the official website of Focus Games, they describe The Hunter as a rumored heir of a powerful nobleman. She comes off with a burst crossbow attracted to her bracer and its mounted blade. Her other abilities include quick takedowns, invisibility magic, and smoke grenades. The Brawler is the powerhouse of the team. After losing his parents, he has vowed never to build a weapon of war. So he brings his Hammer hoping to rescue his sister from the State someday. His skills include slaying the enemy with his sledgehammer in a single blow, great at close-to-close combat, and the Wrath ability—the one who sees him go berserk. The Mystic, the final and the most mysterious member of the team. Trained as an inquisitor and his faith in religion caused the state to go against him. He lost his master in turn, which led him to take a path against the State. The Mystic’s skills include trickery, detecting enemies nearby, and brilliant use of poisonous smoke bombs.
