As a step between the ability chess tactics of Overwatch and the speed of Quake, LawBreakers clearly strives for specialization in the increasingly crowded class-based FPS herd with a steeper learning curve and a greater emphasis on movement and aiming mastery. Our review is coming soon, so use this guide in the meantime as a primer for understanding each role and how they fit into LawBreakers’ frenetic pace.

Tips

• Keep moving. In LawBreakers’ zero-g, omnidirectional arenas standing still is the worst thing you can do. Staying on the ground is probably the second worst. Mix up your angle, speed, and direction to present a harder target profile. 
• Firing behind you in zero-g (Ctrl) increases speed depending on ammo type. Use your weapon for propulsion. The Titan’s rocket provides the biggest boost. 
• Ability combos can greatly boost damage. The first shot from the Gunslinger’s Alpha or Omega pistol is buffed after a Warp blink. The Enforcer’s Distortion field ups his fire rate and reload speed. Each role has its own particular combo. 
• Pay attention to your crosshair. It will reveal a lot of info beyond shrinking or expanding accuracy cones. A blinking red cross, for example, will mean your next melee attack will kill your target. A small pip indicates a hookable surface while playing as an Assassin. 

Assassin

Difficulty: Hard Health: 300 Speed: High Best modes: Uplink, Overcharge, Blitzball

Stow the Assassin’s Arc Blades as much as you can for her Romerus shotgun. While less flashy, it provides the safety of range and a reliable punch that can down most opponents in a couple shots.

• Assassins can use the Arc Blades’ grapple to swing out of map bounds and access the enemy base undetected.
• Your double jump is useful for abruptly changing direction while airborne, an important tool for survivability.
• The Arc Blades increase in damage for each hit of its three-hit combo. Try to land the final hit every time for a big damage burst.
• Your Flux Blast can deflect and change the trajectory of projectiles such as rockets and grenades.

Battle Medic

Difficulty: Medium Health: 350 Speed: Medium Best modes: All

Though not as necessary as in other class-based shooters, the Battle Medic nevertheless affords sustain to her team with her healing drones.

• Horizontal movement using the Battle Medic’s jetpack sips fuel at a far cheaper cost than simply boosting straight upwards.
• Always send out your drones to attacking teammates even if they’re fully topped up. The drones’ overheal effect is instrumental for providing an easy upper hand going into a fight.
• Your Defense Grid ultimate is fantastic for shutting out enemies from an objective or drawing them close to the delight of Titans and Juggernauts. 

Enforcer

Difficulty: Easy Health: 400 Speed: Medium Best modes: All

With sturdy health and a straightforward kit, the Enforcer is a jack-of-all adaptable to most modes and team compositions.

• Hitting enemies while your Distortion is active restores some of its fuel. Keep your crosshair steady to sustain Distortion’s beneficial effects and chain together kills. 

Gunslinger

Difficulty: Medium/hard Health: 325 Speed: Medium Best modes: Turf War, Occupy

If your aim carries the blessing of the FPS gods, the Gunslinger is your angel. His extreme damage output is mitigated by a lack of close-range defenses.

• Your pistols reload independently of each other. With good timing, you can send out a steady stream of shots and cut downtime to a scant few seconds. In zero-g, you can use Omega to fire behind yourself while firing Alpha forward. The Gunslinger is the only role with this capability.
• You can tap-fire the Omega pistol for a quick shot or hold down the trigger for a heavier, charged shot.

Harrier

Difficulty: Medium Health: 350 Speed: Medium Best modes: Turf War, Occupy, Blitzball

The Harrier is a pivotal choice for setting up major team plays with his damage-boosting support abilities and steady beam damage.

• The Harrier’s Raycaster boot jets will fire wherever your legs are physically pointing. Use them to fine-tune your aerial and zero-g movements. 

Juggernaut

Difficulty: Easy Health: 600 Speed: Low Best modes: Turf War, Occupy, Uplink

Your typical tank, Juggernaut is great at rallying his team onto an objective, but be mindful of his Instigator shotgun’s modest range and slow single-shell reload.

• The Juggernaut’s damage output works best in a steady rhythm capitalizing on his close-range power: shotgun blast, knife impale, and follow-up kick.
• Your Charge affects aerial movements. Jumping and then Charging performs a ground slam and knocks away enemies, useful for clearing out capture zones.

Titan

Difficulty: Medium Health: 500 Speed: Low Best modes: Overcharge, Uplink, Occupy

The Titan excels at area damage with his rockets. Use rocket jumps to shore up his sluggish speed.

• You can manually detonate a rocket with alt-fire. This comes in handy in zero-g where trying for direct impacts can be a difficult accomplishment. Trigger your rocket either above or behind your targets for maximum splash damage.
• Stick your Neutron Mine on a friendly teammate, and it’ll detonate once they get close to an enemy.

Vanguard

Difficulty: Easy Health: 325 Speed: High Best modes: Blitzball, Overcharge, Uplink

A popular choice for CTF-style modes such as Blitzball or Overcharge, the Vanguard boasts an exceptional speed boost and a roomy chaingun magazine. A good choice for beginners.

• Try chaining together a few quick jumps when landing after using your Afterburners. You’ll retain most of your momentum while your fuel recharges.
• The Vanguard’s Hydra chaingun will continuously spin faster while firing, increasing accuracy and fire rate. Try tapping fire to pre-spool the Hydra before engaging.
• Your Pulsar knockback can stop your forward momentum instantly, and it’s especially evident in zero-g pockets.

Wraith

Difficulty: Hard Health: 325 Speed: High Best modes: Uplink, Overcharge

The Wraith’s showy ninja-like skillset ensures his crowd-pleasing popularity, as he (along with the Assassin) best represents LawBreaker’s emphasis on smart movement.

• You perform a small speed boost when you knife the air as Wraith, retaining your momentum, keeping you airborne for longer, and smoothing your slide- and triple-jumps. Like the Assassin, you can completely change your direction while chaining jumps.
• Your triple jump refreshes once you touch the ground. However, you can chain wall jumps indefinitely while in the air.
• The Wraith is a stellar ambusher. Flank around, slide into a target while firing your Stinger pistol, then finish with a blade stab. It’s always good to start a fight with a Stinger explosion, but it’s more important to keep moving.
