The Dreadnaught is Firefall’s version of the Team Fortress Heavy but don’t think it’s just as simple as a palette swap. The Dreadnaught in Firefall can do more than just run and gun, there’s modules that can be added to your battleframe to customize the way you play like the Heavy Armor module that allows your character to take more damage, the Dreadfield module to suck energy from enemies in a circular radius around the character, the Turret Mode module that allows your character to be locked in place allowing better accuracy and rate of fire, the Repulsor Blast module that damages and pushes back enemies close to the chracter, and the Thunder Dome module which creates a force field to repel enemy fire. Firefall is looking to be a fun fast paced squad based shooter with little options and tricks to make it stand out from the rest. You can sign up for the beta right now here.
