Jaeger (Long War)

This page may be outdated. It is up-to-date for version b13. The latest version is 1.0.

MEC variant of the Sniper class. The Jaeger is designed for fire support, with the best aim progression of any class in the game (better even than a Sniper), and a plethora of offensive perks to increase damage. Jaegers' main drawback are their low HP progression and a poor selection of defensive perks, making them a bit fragile for MECs.
