Guides

General

The Rifleman is a versatile and flexible class capable of adapting to many different situations. As such, it is the first unit available to players beginning their career in UA3, alongside the Combat Medic.

The Rifleman is capable of taking on nearly any role, from damage dealer to explosive support to reconnaissance.

This class is useful in any combat situation, for it may assist allies in nearly any situation, thus yielding a very cooperative MOS. This class also receives a special passive ability called Expert Marksman when Command Sergeant Major {CSM} (95,000 Enlisted experience) is achieved, improving its potential for more experienced players.
