The class begins with either a sniper rifle or sub-machine gun, and being able to equip only light armor. The Recon can use his Cloak to get up close and personal with his opponents. The other method of wreaking havoc is picking off high priority targets with a sniper rifle and scouting enemy positions with Scan. The Recon is the master of gathering Intel on the enemy with Gunshot Detector and Motion Detector to give his allies a heads up on enemy movement and positions.
