Shooters and other gun games like them can be difficult to make into RPGs without Functional Magic, which is why there has to be a collection of equivalents to make up for the lack of magic. Thankfully, there are two: Explosives such as grenades and rockets, and healing items such as medkits and defibrillators. Therefore, when creating a shooter, developers have to take into account the following RPG-like shooter archetypes: Soldiers, who possess high HP and defense like the warrior. They typically wield automatic weapons (assault rifles, submachine guns and machine guns) or shotguns. Snipers, who are stealthy, agile, and precise like the rogue. Shoots at enemies using sniper rifles. Most likely to carry a sidearm or knife, as well as using a suppressor. Sappers, who use Magic Tools to build and repair vehicles and structures, as well as demolish enemy vehicles and structures as well, like the mage or summoner with his numerous attack or summoning magic. Medics, who heal and revive fallen teammates like the cleric. In games where everyone carries medkits or heals automatically, they are either better in patching up, or serve the double duty of covering their teammates using shields or non-lethal grenades. Some medics can also fight on their own, although the weapons they equip vary from title to title. Sure, most games don't use medics, and instead have players resort to creating either Soldiers, Snipers, or Sappers. However, these four modern-day archetypes are strong bases for developers wishing to create an RPG in a modern-day or sci-fi setting. There are also classes that can contradict the "sniper" class, as well as all of the other classes here, that use patterns and abilities that may make them extremely different from these basic archetypes. Then again, the same could be said for fantasy settings. Some of them can be based around crowd control like the sapper and the sniper, but also specialize at defense like the Soldier and the Medic, and counter attacks in a subversive manner like the sniper. The choices for classes in a modern setting, like a fantasy one, are limitless. Unfortunately there is a tendency to forget to use this option. |

Borderlands 2: Soldier: Salvador, whose abilities focus on survivability. There's also Krieg, who focuses on close range combat and dishing as much damage as he takes. Sniper: Zer0, whose abilities focus on precision and critical hits Sapper: Axton, whose abilities focus on being generally good at everything with some emphasis on explosive damage. There's also Gaige, which has abilities that focus mostly around dealing lots of damage, but that's not all... Medic: Maya, who has a skill tree dedicated to healing herself and allies. |

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron multiplayer custom characters. (The multiplayer classes from Transformers: War for Cybertron, from which these were revised, also fit the description but slightly less well.): Soldier: Titan (transforms into a tank; was actually called "Soldier" in War) Sniper: Infiltrator (transforms into a car; was called "Scout" in War) Sapper: Destroyer (transforms into a truck; the "Leader" in War, from which the Destroyer was derived, was a bit more on the side of Jack of All Stats, with a mix of automatic, marksman, and explosive weapons, middle-of-the-road health, and a variety of abilities) Medic: Scientist (transforms into a jet or chopper; depending on one's build, the Scientist can also fit the mold of the Sniper) |

Super Robot Wars: Soldier: Super Robots, which are slow, have a lot of HP, and really strong short-range attacks. Sniper: Real Robots, which are quick at the cost of HP, armor and attack power and use mostly guns. Sapper: Warships, which are just as strong and slow as Super Robots and have powerful ranged attacks like Real Robots. |

Borderlands: Brick is a mixture between the Soldier's durability and the Sapper's use of explosives. Mordecai is the Sniper while his companion Bloodwing is the Medic (in terms of being an Attack Drone). Lilith is a Siren, a race with powerful abilities, making her a Sapper (or a modern-day Mage). Her choice of SMGs make her more of a Soldier, and her phase walk adds a touch of the Sniper. Finally we have Roland, the team Medic who can also lay down suppressive fire with his turrets, making him a Soldier too (he's even nicknamed as such). |

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!: Soldier: Athena, who uses a shield to tank damage and keep attention on her. Wilhelm also, who can be upgraded for high durability. Sniper: Nisha and Aurelia. The former can put a lot of damage on a single target very quickly, the latter has a dedicated sniping skill tree. Sapper: Wilhelm, Claptrap, and Doppleganger Jack all have means of inflicting area damage, or at least damaging multiple enemies at once. Medic: Nominally Claptrap, but he's unpredictable and can temporarily become any other role. |

The weapons of Call of Duty can be classified as such: Soldier: Assault rifles, machine guns, submachine guns, and shotguns. Sniper: Sniper rifles. Handguns and machine pistols as backup. Melee weapons fit in with the stealthy approach. Sapper: Lethal grenades, C4, Claymores, RPGs and launchers. Medic: Tactical grenades and riot shields for covering your teammates, but no means of healing them, as automatic healing takes care of that. By extension this example applies to most other First-Person Shooter games as well, however variations may exist. |

Wildstar: Soldier: Warriors armed with both BFS and Arm Cannon. Sapper: Espers psychics equivalent to mages and Engineers who can bring out big guns, put on exo suits, and call on Attack Drone's. Sniper: Spellslingers who are a combination of a gunslinger and spellcaster, and the Stalkers who are the more melee oriented stealth class who favor hacking foes with their blades. Medic: Medics fill the role of both healer, as well as offensive support class. |

The sequel, XCOM 2 also follows the trope: Soldier: Ranger (Short-Range Shotgun and great evasion skills) Sniper: Sharpshooter (uses a sniper rifle and pistol). The Ranger also has elements of this class with many stealth and sword-based perks. Sapper: Grenadier (More Dakka + Stuff Blowing Up with their grenade launcher) Medic: Specialist (their Gremlin allows them to perform supportive actions such as healing allies or granting them a defense bonus from a range) |
