Trivia

• This Class was introduced with the first iteration of 2v8, codenamed "Calamari".
• Based on the icon's filename, this Class was originally named Runner at some point during development.
• Also based on the icon's filename, the Unlockable Skill associated with this Class actually has its own unique name, just as if it were a Perk, the role Skills usurp in 2v8 Trials.
  Unfortunately, due to how they are implemented into the Game, the names are not revealed in-game:
  • The Unlockable Skill is called Self-Sufficient.
