Soldiers in X-COM: Enemy Unknown are divided into classes, where each class has unique abilities (a.k.a. "perks"). On the first level up from Rookie to Squaddie the soldier gets assigned a random class with an initial ability. As they level up soldiers get to choose one of two abilites (with some exceptions) on each level to a total of 6 more (7 including the Squaddie rank).

Assault
A mobile soldier with extra power at shorter range, a good choice for close quarter combat and maps with constricting spaces and limited vision. The Run & Gun ability make Assault soldiers particularly useful for outflanking your opponent.

Heavy
- 1 Fire Rocket (fires a 6 dmg rocket once per combat, requires both action points, one use)

- 2 Snap shot (allows to make a shot with SR after moving, this shot has -20 to Aim), Squad sight (allows to target enemies not seen by sniper but seen by squadmates, requires clear line of fire)
