Classes

When playing Brink the player takes the role of one of four Classes, each of which specializes in various roles on the battlefield. Each Class has a Standard Kit which allows them to complete specific Objectives and perform their battlefield role.

All Classes share the same base statistics (i.e. no Class make you have a faster default running speed) and all Weapons are usable by all Classes. Your Class decides what Abilities you can use and what Objectives you are able to attempt.

As you level up in Brink, you earn Level Credits which are used to unlock new Abilities which can be both Class-specific and Universal. Abilities you unlock will further shape what areas your Classes specialize in, but will not change the core skills provided by the Standard Kits.

Generally play as a class that complements your objective sometimes though, play as what you're best as and support your team.

Classes

Soldier Soldiers are masters of destruction, carrying HE Charges to complete Destruction Objectives, and Molotovs. They never run out of ammo, and can hand out ammo to teammates as well.	Medic It's the Medic's job to keep everyone alive. He can use Health buffs to make his and his teammate's life meters longer, and rescue incapacitated teammates and VIPs using Revive Syringes.
Engineer An Engineer is concerned primarily with building, repairing, and upgrading things on the battlefield. He can also upgrade his and his teammate's weapons to do more damage, and plant hidden landmines.	Operative Operatives are the spies of Brink. They can hack computers to complete certain Mission Objectives and can also disguise themselves as the enemy. They are the only class that can spot hidden landmines.
