One of the first choices you’ll make in Examination is deciding which class to play. At first glance, they might look like simple weapon loadouts, but each class is built for a completely different role. Some focus on keeping teammates alive, others excel at breaking through dangerous areas, while a few are designed for experienced players who want access to stronger equipment.
If you’re just starting out, don’t worry about unlocking everything immediately. Every class has a purpose, and understanding what each one does will help you contribute to your team much more effectively.
This guide covers every class currently available in Examination, including their weapons, equipment, unlock requirements, and the situations where each one performs best.

Before selecting a class, every player begins as Classless.
Classes can be selected inside the class selection room by interacting with the panel located on the right-hand wall after entering.
The class menu is divided into two sections:

- Special-Ops Classes at the bottom (displayed with a darker color)
Certain Special-Ops classes require specific unlock conditions before they become available.
Shared Equipment
Regardless of which class you choose, every player receives the following standard equipment:
- LNX-02 Combat Wrap
- LUM-5 “GlowCell”

If you’re completely new to Examination, the Standard class is the safest starting point thanks to its balanced weapon and Ammo Box. Players who enjoy supporting teammates will get the most value from Medic, while those who prefer pushing into combat should consider Breacher.
Once you’ve unlocked the Special-Ops classes, Operator becomes one of the strongest all-around picks, Corpsman is excellent for dedicated support players, and Commander offers perhaps the most flexible loadout for experienced squads. No matter which class you choose, playing to its intended role will usually benefit your entire team far more than simply focusing on eliminations.
