Red 5 Studios, the developers behind the upcoming MMO shooter Firefall, has released a new video showing off the previously unannounced fifth battleframe(class), the Dreadnought. The other four classes already announced are Assault, Medic, Recon and Engineer.
The new class is a heavy weapons specialist that runs around with a huge gatling gun dealing out massive damage. The Dreadnought is protected by heavy armor and a few nifty gadgets, one of which creates a “thunder dome” around the unit, protecting him from outside attacks, but can also be used to trap enemy combatants inside to keep them from running away.
The Dreadnought can also turn himself into a turret which increases rate of fire and accuracy, however leaves him vulnerable to attacks. Check out the full Dreadnought trailer after the jump.
This is shaping up to be a great game!
