Hello heisters!

We’ve done work on the [u]skills[/u] since last time and thought you might be interested in an update.

The new skills are tagged, and the point costs are now defined and added to the tables below.

This is likely close to the version we release. We fully expect to have to make adjustments following release, however, so don’t despair. In fact, we’d like to get a feel for what you think already with this [u]fancy form[/u]!

Once the new skill system is released, we’ll review your feedback in our [u]public channels[/u] and, when we determine what to ask, create another form.


With this new system, higher tiers are only unlocked once a certain number of skills within the category have been selected.
Note: this is skills selected in the entire category, so eg. to unlock higher tiers within the Soldier category, skills would need to be selected within any of the Juggernaut, Commando or Grenadier skill trees.

The tier requirements are as follows:

There is a total of 51 skill points that can be acquired by players, so the more you play the more points you are able to collect. Once the new skill system is launched it will read the level you’re currently on and award you the corresponding skill points.

Along with this new system you will also need to spend a certain amount of points to unlock the next tier of the skill tree. The tiers are as following:

  • Tier 2 – unlocked after equipping 2 skills

  • Tier 3 – unlocked after equipping 5 skills

  • Tier 4 – unlocked after equipping 8 skills
