Artillerist, Deadeye, Gunslinger, or Sharpshooter?

The fundamental difference between the Artillerist and their comrades is pretty simple: the Artillerist wields heavy weapons, while the others use comparatively light ones.

In turn, this makes their attacks much slower, but much more effective. Perfect for those who prefer to decimate the competition from afar whilst making use of their tanky stats to survive during extended fights, the Artillerist is the one for you.

If you’re looking for a more mobile Gunner, however, we suggest any of the other three characters, with the Sharpshooter being our recommended pick as they only wield their mechanical bow. The Gunslinger and Deadeye can cycle through multiple weapons, in turn making them a little tricker to master.
