In the story and on the track
Gunslingers manage Ammunition and Focus. Reloading limits weapon use; aiming and hits build Focus for stronger shots. Gunslinger players remember the pauses between shots: the breath before a long sightline opens, the reload a teammate covers, the instant a Quickdraw commits to the rush. Snipers prize patience, Soldiers make pressure dependable, and dual-pistol skirmishers make movement part of their aim. Customized weapons and practiced flourishes are part of the class's culture, but a stylish draw means little without enough Ammunition left for the actual fight.
Resource rhythm
Ammunition requires reloading. Aiming and successful hits build Focus, which supports stronger shots.
How it fits a build
Class and Spec each occupy one of the four core ability slots. Six stat slots complete the ten-ability layout. Class progression abilities are slot-free and level-gated; selecting a path does not automatically grant every alternative path. Costs, targets, timing, and access requirements still apply.
