Pathfinder (Long War)

MEC variant of the Scout class. Mirroring the Scouts they're recruited from, Pathfinders are mobile and very flexible in combat. Their aim progression is surpassed only by Jaegers and Snipers and their HP progression is average. Pathfinders have a range of offensive and defensive perks, allowing them to be customized for a number of combat roles.
