Classes Guide

There are four different classes in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint from which to choose from. Each class acts as a starting point that branches to the same skill trees, but feature their own special techniques. Check out our Classes Guide to find out more about them.

The four classes are Assault, Panther, Field Medic, and Sharpshooter and although you have to choose one at the start of the game you will be able to switch between any of the classes at biovouacs. Being able to change classes gives you the flexibility to switch to a class that is more appropriate for the mission ahead.
