Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City Classes Overview: Assault, Demolition, and Field Scientist

Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City boasts a fairly in-depth class system consisting of six different class types, each with their own specialties and powers. That said, the game doesn’t always do the best job of laying out the strengths, weaknesses, and unique powers of each of the classes. That is where this guide comes in. This walkthrough will cover each class in great detail, including all of the available passive and active abilities of each. Keep in mind that the first level of each ability costs 750XP, the second level 2,000XP, and the third level 5,000XP unless otherwise noted.

Field Scientist

The Field Scientist class is one of the least straightforward classes in the game, and as a result, one of the most interesting.

They are also experts at staving off infection. Because of this, the Field Medic is an absolutely integral part to every team.
