Lost Ark’s Latest Academy Post Reveals Machinist Details In Next Update On The 28th

In just eight days, on September 28, Smilegate and Amazon will drop Lost Ark’s September update, introducing the Machinist Advanced Class to the game. The Machinist is the fifth Gunner Advanced Class, joining Deadeye, Gunslinger, Artillerist, and Sharpshooter in the lineup. It’s different from the others in that its focus is high-tech weapons and utilizes both drones and power suits to get the job done.

Because of the drone usage, the class has four skill categories: Normal, Drone, Combo, and Sync. The first focuses on guns and grenades. Drones skills are – obviously – drone-focused. The drone is armed with its own arsenal of missiles, lasers, and cute little baby drones. Combo skills require the Machinist and their drone to work together, and Synch makes use of a high-tech suit to execute high-powered attacks via a Hypersynch. A full rundown on this as well as the class’s specs can be found on the Lost Ark site.
