Overview
- The video outlines Destroyer, Assassin, Recon, Vandal, Thief, Triage, and Rook, each built for roles spanning combat, stealth, support, mobility, and loot hunting.
- Buildcrafting allows on‑the‑fly tuning with shell‑specific cores and universal implants that can change movement, survivability, and ability behavior.
- Rook functions as a solo, late‑join free‑loadout with a basic kit that risks no carried gear and lets players keep extracted loot, including a camouflage tool that pacifies AI.
- Outlets compare Rook to Arc Raiders’ free loadout but note Bungie’s stricter limits—solo‑only queues and guaranteed late spawns—with one designer calling it a “morality test” for players who encounter Rooks.
- Coverage praises the clearer class design yet flags PvP balance concerns around Assassin’s invisibility and Recon’s enemy‑reveal tools; GameSpot alone reported a March launch at $40, which Bungie has not confirmed.
