Template:Outcast Class

Assault=

"Before the outbreak, we used to call these guys co-workers, friends and family. Now we just call them sons of bitches. We've all lost loved ones, but these guys have given themselves to vengeance instead of trying to rebuild. I know they were wronged by that quarantine, but what they're doing now is beyond the pale."

- Henry Hayes

The Assault Unit are survivors from the Roosevelt Island Quarantine who wish to seek revenge on those responsible. Although they lack combat experience, they fight with passion and are quickly learning their way on the battlefield.

"Alcohol, rag and a bottle. Simple. Brutal. Effective. Don't ask 'em for a light. The common tool of vandals and rioters has become the symbol of warlords and murderers."

- Agent Kelso

"The bow may not be the most high-tech solution to ranged combat, but it does carry some advantages. Chief among them are silence and the ability to attach explosives. If you say one word about 'my people' using them because I'm First Nations, I'm going to rip you a new one."

- Agent Kelso

Snipers use a bow and arrow on the battlefield to preserve ammunition. When they are not fighting, they spend their time crafting arrows and experimenting with different arrowheads.

"Their dogs are inspired by fear of punishment, not love of owner, and that tells pretty much everything you need to know about these guys. Anyone who beats their animals to keep them in line doesn't have a place in this world or the next. Our treatment of animals is a reflection of our deepest morality."

- Agent Kelso

"The thought of these guys scurrying round trying to get a bunch of psychopaths to use incendiary rounds would make me laugh if it wasn't so frightening. If you don't manage to destroy their ammo crate, make sure to stop by and grab some of those incendiary rounds for yourself."

- Agent Kelso

The support unit's primary objective is to provide their allies with ammunition on the battlefield. Picked for their speed, they are comprised of the most physically fit members of the Outcasts.

 * Destroying the ammo crate causes an explosion.
 * Interacting with a dropped ammo crate grants a brief special ammo power up.

"Came up against a few of these a while back. Can't say I'm a huge fan of theirs. Though I'd guess they're not a huge fan of mine at this point, either. Keep your head down and get your flank on. That ammo pouch makes a great target."

- Agent Kelso

The Heavy Weapons unit uses light machine guns and suppression techniques to immobilize their enemies. Many of them were formally riot police and know the streets of DC well. They often hold live drills in rural areas of the city to test new tactics.

"Flamethrowers? Who gave them flamethrowers? It just seems a bad idea to give legitimate crazies access to fire. I've got a bad feeling about how this one is going to play out."

- Agent Kelso

Scorchers were originally formed to utilize the Outcast's abundant fuel supplies. They began using flamethrowers in combat and quickly became one of the most feared units on the streets of DC.

 Strategic Data Tank=
 * The Outcast Scorcher archetype moves towards enemies while using a makeshift flamethrower.
 * Destroying their tank does significant damage, and forces them to continue the fight with a pistol if the Flamer survives.

"Back in April, we had one of these guys walk up to Haven's gate and just start on it with his sledge. I think he thought the metal made him some kind of superhero. What the honest-to-god-fuck is wrong with these guys? Strapping that much metal to yourself and bashing people's brains in with a hammer is next-level crazy."

- Henry Hayes

Tanks have been recruited based on their physical strength. Once they've picked a target, they won't stop attacking until their victim is dead. Outside of combat, Tanks perform most of the manual labor tasks inside Outcast settlements.

"I'm a big fan of explosions, but just how broken do you have to be to strap a bomb on yourself? Put a bullet in their tank and stand back. Yeah, I know, I shouldn't say it like that, but damn, I just don't know what else to say. It's frustrating when you think about us trying to rebuild while these assholes are giving everyone a front-row seat to their private apocalypse."

- Agent Kelso
