Skills that a Mechanic starts with:


Starting Equipment

All Mechanics start with the same equipment:

The Mechanic has 2 loadouts, each with one of the Mechanic's Uniforms:
Loadout #1

Loadout #2

Talents

Mechanics Talents are very varied, they make maintaining the Sub easier, mining resources much more plentiful and increases their combat profficiency.

The Scrapper Specialization makes mining resources both quicker, and greatly more rewarding as well as making the Sub be upgradable as if it was tier 3, no matter which tier it actually is, and ends with a recipe for the Scrap Cannon, which has a substantial spread, but shreds any unarmored target to pieces.

The Machinist Specialization focuses on maintaining the sub and repairing hulls with many buffs and recipes for items like Fixfoam Grenades which can fix a whole room in seconds, or Portable Pumps which can greatly help in pumping out the water from inside of the Sub. It ends with a recipe for Defense Bots which can help with dealing with any intruders on board.

The Brawler Specialization makes the Mechanic a beast in melee combat. It grant them many buffs to both their defensive and offensive capabilities, unlocks a recipe for the Heavy Wrench which deals huge amounts of damage and finally unlocks a recipe for the Exosuit which makes the wearer a walking (or swimming) tank with a built-in inventory.
