==Class Overview==

Gunners are akin to vanilla Grenadiers that have specialized in Cannon use. They have a number of perks related to the cannon and suppression (with Suppression and Area Suppression as baseline class abilities).

"Cannoneer" type Gunners invest in the raw direct damage potential of the cannon, essentially becoming a mobile heavy rifleman that can exploit a single target with multiple or unavoidable attacks, but have less raw battle control potential when using their weapons to suppress the enemy.

"Oppressor" type Gunners behave as mid-line fire support soldiers with enhanced and highly effective suppressive fire, capable of pinning an enemy squad down and victimizing any enemies dumb or desperate enough to try and break cover, but do not share in the raw single target damage potential of their Cannoneer counterparts.

===Weapons===

'''Primary''': [[Weapons_(LWOTC)#Cannons|Cannons]]

'''Secondary''': [[Weapons_(LWOTC)#Combat_Knives|Combat Knife]]

Cannons have an aim penalty at very short range, so Gunners carry a combat knife for close in defense. Gunners also enjoy many options in the Center branch for improving their survivability and utility in combat, allowing them to share the frontline with Assaults and Rangers without breaking a sweat.
