Exoprimal is a new type of combat title that will have players piloting various exosuits to battle dinosaurs and other creatures across a number of combat situations and game modes. Each exosuit not only has a specific role but also exclusive abilities and skills that are available to their pilots.
Because this is a class-based type of multiplayer game, players will need to work together and pick classes that fit their own playstyle while also complimenting the team’s overall composition. That means learning which exosuits you like and how their abilities work is key to dominating the battlefield.
In total, there are three primary roles that an exosuits fills—Assault, Tank, and Support. At launch, there are a total of 10 classes split between those roles, with more exosuits to be added in the future in order to fill that lineup out even further.
Once you choose an exosuit, you are locked into that class’s abilities and skills until you swap over to a different one, which leads to players needing to learn multiple exosuit kits in order to perform their best in multiple scenarios. So, before you suit up, here is a full guide to each exosuit’s abilities and specific skills.
Exoprimal exosuit abilities and exclusive skills, explained
Every exosuit has different abilities and skills, mostly based on the role it falls into and the specific type of playstyle it is built for.
Each Exosuit has a Basic Skill tied to the class, various weapon options, and an Overdrive ability that acts as a super move to deal lots of damage or impact the battle through alternate effects.

Don’t expect every class in a role to play the same, and be prepared to pivot depending on your team’s composition and needs. I personally prefer playing Tank, but when we don’t have Support, I am willing to make the swap so we don’t end up being overwhelmed with no way to heal up.
You can also add some versatility to each build with different Rigs, or items that provide different weapons as an alternate option to any exosuit such as a long-range cannon, but that has nothing to do with the base loadout for each class.
