For example, Black Panthers can use claws or spears. This gives them two dramatically different playstyles to choose from. In order to swap between playstyles, you will need to equip the appropriate weapon.

Obtaining Gear

Gear can be obtained throughout Battleworld. Crates and crystals award gear as possible or guaranteed items.
