Tribes: Ascend

Tribes: Ascend is a free-to-play multiplayer-only first-person shooter part of the Tribes franchise. It is developed by Hi-Rez Studios. The game features a class-based loadout system. Each loadout specifies what type of armor the player has, along with what weapons and items they carry. Loadouts only supports three weapons at a time; two in-hand weapons and one melee object, along with either grenades or mines and a pack.

There are three possible sizes of armor to choose: light, medium and heavy. Players can select which loadout to use when either when first joining a game, respawning or at an inventory station. Loadouts may be acquired either through an upfront payment, or through playing the game and earning experience, which can be used to purchase classes, weapons and upgrades. Paid-for loadouts are available to the user instantly, while those who choose to unlock them through playing will have a much longer wait. Upgrades to armor and weapons can only be purchased by experience points.
