So... opinions about the new class?

[Odzianna]

While I do like that they can rock a myriad of different systems and are effectively a mix of Medic and Assault I'm very disappointed that they have no unique skills that allow them to bypass the death penalty, or just get outright replaced by a new Condatis upon death =/

I actually called my Condatis bot F. "Red Shirt" Odder, but it looks like they have no actual skills that would make fun of their replace-ableness

[Kill with Fire]

Imo it's very fun for dropping into low difficulty games and just having fun, it can also boast surprising survivability for its low kinetic resistance in the amount of healing you can stack onto it with only abilities, but it is very much a for fun class that you pick for the lols. I'd also argue it's also a mix of heavy since you can take the heavy weapons system.

I am disappointed it doesn't have the Shock Troopers ability to call in more condatis units, but I can see why since it could lead to full summon teams.

The only thing I want for them is lowered revive timers and made DIY-explosives that are incredible effective, but also unreliable, that would be neat :D

How do you unlock it?

[Kill with Fire]

It should be unlocked at the beginning, but I do have the season pass, so it might be related to that

[Haplo]

Wouldn't its 8 pockets make for a good looter?

[Kill with Fire]

It does, but it has no stealth mechanics like Recon so it can't loot during a horde and has to gun their way through, nor does it have access to flare gun for better distraction, so it's very limited in ways to avoid hordes when looting, so it's much riskier to loot.

[Odzianna]

It's a good packmule class. 8 slots, can fit a lot of ammo, disarm and temper with explosives and quick on his feet. Prolly best to stick to the team since the Condatis actually has less resistence than a Recon...!

[ExoProto]

Would have preferred the new class as a skin tbh.

Although I really like the aesthetics and certain designs of this class, it seems to be weaker in terms of strength compared to other classes. I don't think most players will be able to excel in playing this class. Choosing this class undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the game, especially in higher difficulty levels. I hope the developers can balance this class properly.

[Odzianna]

Most likely not :D It does say that this equipment belongs to a museum, and it is a Condatis, which are known for their less than effective gear and training. That he is bad is absolutely on purpose. And sure, he is not very good, but...

You could run your own mission with just Red Shirts to see how far you make it before you inevitably all die a horrible death :D

Jokes aside, having 1 or maybe 2 of them in a team can still be beneficial since they can offer extra medical attention and carry a lot of stuff for the other classes. He also makes a excellent Scout: Not sure if that building is dangerous? Just let the Condatis run in first.

If he survives longer than 5 seconds it's safe to loot :D

I don't even see this 'free new class' in the game, in either skirmish or campaign. It makes me pay for the DLC lel c":

[Odzianna]

To be fair, it does make sense that you get the Condatis from a Condatis-DLC, but yeah, it should be free given it's worth as a class... =/

[quzexe12]

Certainly, I really like this class, but I just don't want too many teammates choosing this class in a game.

I dont understand how that class is "free" in that case. Because its not a free class. You have to pay for it. So its kind of pointless for the devs to announce this.

[Odzianna]

Well, it's still news, right? So if they are still working on the game they are announcing it of course, just like new patchnotes and fixes
