Assault is a standard class in Centaura.
Description
The Assault class is equipped with a submachine gun, a Club, and a Grenade. On Blackton, they are issued a Double Barrel Shotgun instead, which can also be used on all maps with the Cetan Theater Veteran badge. The Assault class can also use the Decima Shotgun if they have the Aquilan Theater Veteran badge. A maximum of three players can select the Assault class at any given time.
Optimized for close-quarters combat, the Assault class's close-range weapons are tailor made for chaotic, uncontrolled fighting in tight, narrow spaces. Their inaccurate weapons suffer heavily in open-range combat, and an Assault class that stays in the open can be easily picked off from a distance by Riflemen.
Despite being meant for close quarters combat, the SMGs can also be used as support weapons, capable of providing suppressing fire or chipping away at enemies. The Assault class also carries a single Grenade, which can be useful for dislodging an entrenched enemy or flushing out a particular area or chokepoint.
Strategy
- The Assault needs to get inside enemy lines fast. Be ready to get up close and personal as soon as you can.
- Use the grenade to flush out major chokepoints or lure out enemies.
- If you're having trouble getting into the action without getting killed, try moving around the flanks of the action to avoid being detected early.
- The smoke grenade can obscure the Assault's profile. Use this to hide your movement.
- The Assault's alternate weapons, the Double Barrel Shotgun and Decima Shotgun, are devastating at close range, but you only have two shots before needing to reload. Engage in hit-and-runs, where you pop out of an area to cut down any unfortunate wandering enemy, then retreat back to reload.
- As they are terrible at longer ranges, they should primarily be used in more cramped and tightly packed maps such as Capri Valley, Ascendēns Forest and Talona, where much of the action is up close, thus allowing the weapons to mow down hordes of enemies.
- If defending on maps such as Capri Valley and Roland's Prairie, where there are rolling mounds and craters, an assault player can hide at the lower part of one side of a mound or sit in a crater and wait for an incoming enemy push to surprise them and then spray them down.
Trivia
- On Blackton, the Assault class on both teams are armed with Double Barrel Shotguns instead of SMGs.
- Lore wise, SMGs had not been invented at the time of the Battle of Blackton.
- If you have any Theater Badge, you can equip the SMGs from spawn menu and use them normally.
- Likewise, you can equip the Double Barrel Shotgun and use them on any map with the Cetan Theater Badge.
- Before Trombley's planned departure from Roblox and the development of Centaura being halted to just Vega and Columba, there were plans for the Final Summit Update and after it, where Assault would have Pump Action Shotguns in CQC oriented maps.
- These weapons are limited to the Sweeper class as of now.
- Some SMGs may have iron sights that do not align with the center of the screen; it is often better to fire in 3rd person.
- With the Massacre badge, you can equip the Decima Shotgun as a weapon on this class.
