The Machinist is a specialization of the Gunner (Skirmisher) equipped with a “high-tech arsenal and a drone capable of performing precise ranged strikes and unique attacks”. The specialization is also equipped with a Hypersynchro mode to inflict increased damage, thanks to energy cores that must be charged by successful attacks.
Machinist skills are divided into four categories: ordinary, drone, combined, and synchronization. Ordinary skills center around the Machinist’s high-tech arsenal of firearms and grenades, which recharges the Hypersynchro Battery. Drone skills focus on the use of the drone: firing missiles, lasers, and even baby drones for precise ranged strikes.
