Reaper

The Reaper specializes in striking from the shadows.

Class Overview

The Reapers are a mix of a scout and marksman that can safely find any dangers ahead while potentially striking their targets from the shadows. Their most unique and defining ability is Shadow, an advanced form of concealment that has next to no detection range but only lasts for 2-turns and will be revealed by nearly all actions although they can repeatedly enter back in Shadow after 4-turns. This is reworked from the base game where it has similar detection range but was permanent until revealed with actions only have a 50% chance to reveal on the first check and only one extra use. Their Tracking ability along with Shadow allows them to become very effective scouts that can safely seek any dangers ahead for their allies with next to no risk. Their new secondary weapon, Throwing knives which has replaced claymores from the base game, serve as an effective close range option that deals light damage but can potentially deal more when critting and will never reveal when in Shadow. Their primary weapon, the Vektor Rifle, is a light sniper rifle that can fire at long range and is more accurate but deals less damage that is made up if they can score a crit against their targets. Combined with their ability of Squadsight, they act as a similar role to the standard Sharpshooters but trade damage for more flexibility.

"Marksman" type Reaper can specialize in their marksmanship, primarily utilizing the Vektor Rifle to provide fire support from afar or snipe down enemies' flanks at high effectiveness.

"Partisan" type Reaper can focus on their stealth and throwing knives, going deep into enemy lines and striking from Shadow with great effect.

"Prepper" type Reaper shift their marksmanship in a different direction, entering enemy flanks while hidden in shadow to prepare a shot dealing highly critical damage.
