Usually found at the forefront of battle, leading the offensive attacks with overwhelming

The Assault Class is crucial to dominate the Battlefield.
Welcome to The Definitive Guide for the Assault Class in Killzone Shadow Fall
This Definitive Guide will help you become a formidable opponent when using the Assault
Class.
All abilities, weapons and explosives will be listed right now, after that a much more
elaborated description and best use of each of them will be presented to you.
First, abilities.
The Assault Class has one primary ability: Nano Shield and
Three secondary abilities: Speed Dash, Stun Blast and Buddy Drone.
This class has five primary weapons two submachine guns, the LS21 and the StA25
two Assault Rifles: the M55 and the StA409 and one semiautomatic shotgun the LS26
It also has two secondary weapons the StA19 and the LS12
and finally the two explosives available to this class are:
The M194 Grenade and the Limpet Grenade
All the abilities and weapons in Killzone Shadow Fall are unlocked by default. Certain
attachments and upgrades are unlocked by completing special challenges.
Those challenges won't be covered in this guide because they are really straightforward,
they basically consist in using the ability or weapon to get kills or to help your teammates.
Now let's elaborate about each one of the abilities.
The Nano Shield is the only primary ability for the Assault Class, this means you will
always have this ability available no matter what other secondary ability you select.
The Nano Shield allows you to deploy a temporary energy screen that blocks enemy attacks while
letting allied projectiles through.
When facing enemy Assault players recall that the Nano Shield is vulnerable to Stun blasts
and explosives.
The Nano Shield is great for defending doors and it can give you an advantage when attacking
a crowded objective, recall any of your teammates can also shoot through the Nano Shield.
Now let's elaborate about all the Secondary Abilities
The Stun Blast ability temporarily stuns and blinds nearby enemies, the blinding effect
is the same as the generated by the Stun Drone available in the Scout class
Recall that enemy buddy or stun drones, turrets, nano shields and even petrusite grenades will
be destroyed after you use this ability if they are within the stun range.
The Stun Blast ability is a great defensive mechanism in case you are being attacked from
multiple directions and superb offensive ability in case you're attacking a crowded objective.
The Speed Dash ability increases your speed for a short amount of time. Very useful for
taking the initiative during missions when speed is essential and useful in case you
have to retreat when health is low.
And finally the last secondary ability is the Buddy Drone, this ability allows you to
deploy a flying combat drone that automatically attacks nearby enemies.
If your plans are to be stealthy while capturing an objective recall that the Buddy Drone attacks
every single enemy nearby and it could give away your position.
Time to talk about the Primary and Secondary Weapons as well as explosives. All weapons
will be described briefly for now and in a near future a definitive guide for each one
of them will be given to you.
The LS21 Valk is a light and versatile submachine gun. Works better in the close and medium
range.
The StA25 Slug is a powerful fast-firing submachine gun, ideal to engage enemies in the close
and medium range.
The M55 Rumbler is your all-purpose assault rifle, it provides a perfect blend between
fire rate and accuracy.
The StA409 Keyzer, is a lightweight Assault Rifle, with lower range than the M55 but higher
rate of fire.
And finally the LS36 Breacher is a semiautomatic shotgun obviously great in the close to medium
range.
Now the two secondary weapons, first the semiautomatic pistol StA19. Your regular pistol that also
works great in the medium range.
And the semiautomatic pistol LS12 that supports an attachment to allow 3 round burst.
The Assault Class has two explosives available, first the M194 grenade, which is your fragmentation
grenade, recall that arming grenades takes some time and you can even cook them
and the second the limpet grenade which is basically a sticky grenade.
The Assault Class in Killzone Shadow Fall is the responsible for pushing forward when
attacking an objective, is the class to be used if you prefer to be close to the action,
capturing and destroying objectives.
The Nano Shield and the Stun Blast are availabilities that make a difference when doing so. Heavily
defended objectives are usually crowded with enemies, if you use your Stun Blast you can
blind and confuse your enemies and you will be able to destroy all turrets, nano shields
or any flying drones that happen to be close to your blast.
After that you could use your Nano Shield to give you some time while you capture the
objective.
And do not forget about the Speed Dash, that gives you an important advantage when using
it, getting to the objective faster to either attack it or defend it is always useful.
Regarding the weapons... you have three categories to choose from, I personally like using the
Assault Rifles over the submachines and the LS36 shotgun only when the map has really
tight corridors.
