The Marksman Hunter
In the future, everyone will love guns because all the gun control advocates were devoured by demons. Enter the Marksman, the most gun crazy class of all. Sure, they’ve got machine pistols, rifles, rocket launchers, and all the sort of gear you’d expect them to have. But how about gas guns that burp noxious clouds of poison? Or explosive darts that lodge themselves in demons and explode?

Quick Tips:
Although the Marksman can tap into a huge cache of weapons, he’s no Rambo. You’ll have to be quick and sneaky at times to avoid getting run over by waves of demons. Get used to using Tactical Stance is important as it raises your critical hit chance allowing you to add tons of extra damage to each successful shot.

However, if you find yourself cornered, be ready to use Rapid Fire to increase your rate of fire and unload clips of demon-be-gone into the surrounding hostiles. Hit Cloak to disappear - Predator-style - and buy yourself more time to extract sweet revenge from a distance. 

Remember to disassemble items you can’t equip so you can use the spare materials to upgrade your weapons, maximizing their damage.

The Engineer Hunter
We have a dream that one day robots of this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed, that flesh and steel will join hands (and claws), moving forward towards a world where people, bots, and drones live together in harmony. That dream hasn’t come true yet. But until it does, Hellgate’s Engineer class seems to be the next best thing.

Quick Tips:
Although the Engineer has a variety of guns to choose from, but don’t make the mistake of focusing your efforts on improving your firearms. The Engineer’s real strength lies in his advanced drones and bot buddies, using them to dish out damage and protect. Think of them as the tech savvy foil to the mana sucking Summoner. As you invest more skill points in the bots and drone trees, you’ll find that their abilities to launch rockets, slow enemies, and heal you and your allies indispensable.
