We also learned that the classes have been reworked. A new class named Skirmisher has been introduced, and old Legends have been moved into new remastered classes.

• Assault Legends (Bangalore, Ash, Fuse, Revenant, Mad Maggie) can access weapon supply bins and carry more ammunition.
• Skirmishers (Wraith, Mirage, Octane, Horizon, Valkyrie, Pathfinder) have "care package insight" and focus on combat mobility.
• Recon Legends (Crypto, Vantage, Bloodhound, Seer) can access survey beacons and track enemy squads.
• Controllers (Caustic, Wattson, Rampart, Catalyst) focus on area setup and can access consoles to view where the ring is moving.
• Support Legends (Lifeline, Loba, Gibraltar, Newcastle) can craft ally banners to revive fallen allies and access extended supply bins to get more loot.

The biggest changes here include the changes related to survey beacons. Being able to track enemy squads will be an incredibly useful tool. However, Recon legends won't be able to track rings anymore, only Controllers.

The rest of these changes should make each class stand out more and give each player a bit more initiative and utility.
