The job of the Support player is to be a mobile ammo station, keeping their teammates stocked up so they don’t run out of bullets, while also ensuring that friendly vehicles are kept up and running thanks to its Engineer combat role.
Support players can also build advanced fortifications that provide some much-needed cover for your teammates, while their ability to create static machine gun emplacements mean that players can capture objective zones from a safe spot.
