Jaeger (LWR)

Back To Main Page

   Jaeger

MEC variant of the Scout and Sniper classes. The Jaeger is designed for fire support, with the best aim progression of any class in the game (tied with the Sniper), and a plethora of offensive perks to increase damage. Jaegers' main drawback are their low HP progression and a poor selection of defensive perks, making them a bit fragile for MECs.
