In REDSEC
REDSEC gives this class a different training system, transcribed from its own in-game screens. The class ability is passive here where core multiplayer has an active one, the levels run LVL 04 down to LVL 01 rather than LVL 03 down to LVL 00, the training paths are different ones under different names, and some abilities work on armor plating, which core multiplayer does not use. Where a signature description differs from the core-multiplayer wording, the REDSEC wording is the one printed below.
Class signature set
| Slot | Name | In-game description |

| Gadget 2 | Aim-Guided Launcher | An anti-vehicle launcher that can be upgraded to enable missile guidance to the target via the weapon's crosshairs. Inflicts greater damage on the sides, top, and rear of vehicles where armor is thinner. |

| Signature Trait | Mechanized Infantry | Take less explosives damage when near friendly vehicles and prevent them from being occupied by hostiles in the event that all vehicle crew exit. Repair vehicle health to keep both effects active. |
