Duelist Class Guide

Duelist is the weapon-pressure base class. The official Patch 1 record names Burst Configuration, Shrapnel Grenades, and Gunslinger, so this guide keeps its starting advice anchored to those confirmed systems.

02 // Squad use

Where this class fits in a fireteam

Editorial starting planStart with one job

Editorial starting plan: stay where your sightline remains useful after the first enemy wave reaches the squad, then reserve grenade pressure for a lane that is already being watched.

Team contextCover a squad need

Pairs cleanly with Machinist: one class helps make the lane predictable while the other concentrates weapon pressure into it.

These are editorial play suggestions, not developer-confirmed best builds. Patch changes, difficulty, weapons, and squad composition can change the right answer.

03 // Video reference

Watch the official launch trailer

Use the official trailer as a visual reference for the game’s co-op combat. For class-specific details, follow the class source above rather than assuming every trailer moment represents this exact kit.
