The Reaper specializes in slipping through, and striking from, the shadows.

Abilities are split up into three thematic groupings:

• Operative - A gunslinger, tech and stealthy. Slip in behind enemy lines, exposing their weaknesses.
  
• Wraith - A flanker, quick and deadly. Terrorize your enemies, bouncing in and out of concealment across the battlefield.
  
• Predator - A hunter, slow and steady. Spot out and pick off the enemy from afar.

• Vektor Rifle
  
• Pistol
