In Raiders, there are three classes:
- Masochist
- Hellion
- Brutician
These follow similar playstyles as existing games, with Hellions causing damage in a variety of ways, Masochists being more sturdy, and Bruticians having an array of support abilities.
Each class has four tiers of Perks that can be unlocked after spending points when leveling up. Each Perk is either passive or activated during combat.
Here are the perks for each.

As you saw in my earlier post about weapons here, each weapon type (1h Edged, 2h Edged, 1h Blunt, 2h Blunt, 1h Ranged, and 2h Ranged) has a unique set of attacks. Combined with class Perks, there’s a lot of room for customizing and tactical experimentation.
Some of the above may change as launch day comes closer, but this should give you an idea for now of the various abilities available to raiders.
More to come!
