    New Specialization incoming with title update 4.



    Joining the fight together with the other Specialists, The Gunner is equipped with the powerful Minigun, which will be a force to be reckoned with on the streets of Washington, D.C. With an emphasis on sustained damage output and damage resilience, the Gunner will serve as the vanguard of SHD Agents in the ongoing fight to reclaim the city.

    When activated, The Gunner receive bonus armour based on the amount of Specialization ammunition they are carrying and can easily tank incoming damage for short periods of time while using their Minigun to suppress their enemies. There's a catch though – when the weapon is drawn, the Gunner can't enter cover, vault or roll.

    To get enemies out in the open, the Gunner comes with the Banshee Signature Skill, which ignores cover and causes its targets to become confused. When an enemy stumble out of cover is the perfect opportunity for the Gunner to use their special grenade – the Riot Foam grenade – trapping the enemy in place.

    The specialization comes with a new skill tree and the P320 XCompact sidearm.

    The Gunner will be available to test on the Public Test Server, opening on June 4th, in order get as much feedback on it before it is released on the Live servers in Title Update 4, coming in June 2019. Please join us on the official forums and tell us about your experiences with it.

    SPECIAL FIELD RESEARCH

    While the three previous Specializations are automatically available to you when reaching level 30, to unlock Gunner you need to take on Special Field Research: five stages of in-game challenges, each with their own set of objectives and rewards. By completing all five stages, you will gain access to the Gunner Specialization and the newest signature weapon in the SHD arsenal.

    If you have the Year 1 Pass, you will instantly unlock the Gunner Specialization. You can still take on the Special Field Research, but as you progress through the stages you will unlock additional, exclusive cosmetic rewards; the Fisticuffs and Front Flex emotes, Charcoal and Detritus gear dyes, Rosethorn and Pineapple weapon skins, the Gunner mask and the Gunner specialization uniform.

    The Special Field Research will be available on the Public Test Server, but on the PTS you will not have to complete it to give the Gunner a go.

    FAQ:

    Since Pass players get immediate access to the specialization, doesn't this create a gameplay advantage?

    Specializations have abilities and specialized weapons tailored to specific playstyles. Though Year 1 Pass owners will have the benefit of instant access to new Specializations, all players will be able to unlock them through gameplay. All Specializations have different strengths and weaknesses, and appeal to different playstyles and tactical situations. The new Specializations will offer the same tier of power as other Specializations.

    Is Year 1 Pass the only option to instantly access the specialization and earning the cosmetic rewards?

    Players interested in the Gunner specialization access and earnable cosmetic rewards, can either secure it through the Year 1 Pass, or purchase a Gunner ‘Specialization Pack' for Premium Credits on the in-game store, which will entitle them to the same benefits for the Gunner specialization.

    Note that Year 1 Pass comes with similar benefits for the remaining 2 specializations coming later in Year 1, as well as host of other content & perks. Discover what Pass has to offer here.

    Can I still get the cosmetic rewards if I start the Specialization Field Research without the Pass?

    Yes. You can upgrade to Year 1 Pass at any point. The moment you get Year 1 Pass, you will immediately unlock Gunner (if you have not finished the research just yet), as well as get the cosmetic rewards you have earned, depending on which stage you are at.

    Even if you unlocked the Specialization without the Pass, once you purchase it, you will immediately unlock all cosmetic rewards, including the uniform.

    Imagine if Golan Gear Brand Set also came out. It has Defensive Protocol and Defensive System Slots. Defensive Common and Defensive Active Talents.

    Gonna need a lot of bonus armor to make up for getting murdered by a Shotgun from 100 meters. Will be interesting to see.

    I do like the idea of a riot foam grenade tho

    Another offensive gimmick no one really needs.

    Nothing nice. This game is becoming more and more "physical" for muscle men and nothing for clever strategy (maybe except for the Rides).
    I think I'll give up this game because now it's like in text from game Far Cry 3: "So, I collect s..t, to unlock s..t, then I get s..t. Got it."
    Now in this game is like this: loot gives you s.t, mission gives you s..t,bounty gives you s..t, project gives you s..t, vendor sells you s..t, crafting gives you s.t, calibration transforms one s..t into another s..t.
    And now I supposed to be excited by this... gunner specialization, that's for cannon fodder.
    All that fuss is about season pass. They want your money otherwise you need to take on Special Field Research.
    This is really how I wrote earlier: "So, I collect s..t, to unlock s..t, then I get s..t. Got it.".
    No, thank you.
