Gunner (Long War)

The Gunner class is similar to a suppression specialized Heavy in vanilla XCOM. Their signature ability is Suppression, and they are the only class that can use the Light Machine Gun line of weapons. The LMG-type weapons are slightly better in Long War than vanilla XCOM, in particular they have larger magazines. Suppression is also improved, working to restrict the target's ability to use rockets and grenades as well as its vanilla effects. To compensate, the Gunner loses the vanilla Heavy's rockets.

Primary Weapon: Machine Guns, Assault Rifles

Secondary Weapon: None
