How Classes Work in Star Wars Zero Company

In Star Wars Zero Company, classes are officially called Specializations. Your Operator's Specialization determines their combat abilities and role in the squad. You can change standard Specializations, and Operators can eventually unlock a second Specialization for a dual-class setup.

Gunslinger
Heavy
Medic

Soldier

How to Choose a Specialization

The best Specialization depends on what your squad needs during a mission. Rather than building every Operator around the same role, consider combining different Specializations to cover damage, support, reconnaissance, and frontline defense.

Your Operator's weapon, Talents, Specialization, and later secondary Specialization can all contribute to their final build, giving you plenty of freedom when building your squad.

Final Thoughts

The eight standard Specializations in Star Wars Zero Company give each Operator a distinct battlefield role. Assault and Soldier provide straightforward combat options, Heavy offers frontline durability, Medic provides support, while Scoundrel, Scout, Sharpshooter, and Gunslinger specialize in more specific tactical roles.

Experiment with different primary and secondary Specializations as your roster develops to create Operators that complement each other.
