Because he's the source of a squad's heavy firepower, the impact of a Rifleman cannot be ignored. The only unit capable of wielding an LMG and its devastating suppression effect, Riflemen are tasked with providing covering fire, keeping enemies pinned to allow flanking by other squad members, or using underbarrel attachments on their ARs to lob grenades or several enemies (even through thin walls) that would be otherwise invisible to Heat-detecting equipment. Riflemen don't just dish out the heat, they can take more of it, too, thanks to their increased armor over other classes.
Class Summary
The Rifleman is the front line class of Ghost Recon. With the ability to absorb damage thanks to a class perk, the Rifleman is meant to be up in the action taking out enemies and capturing objectives. By making use of intel provided by allies, Rifleman can get deep into enemy lines and take them out while allies secure objectives and move across the map.
