1. Engineer/demolitions/ammo supply : Fast and moderately armoured.
2. Covert/hacker/medic : Fast and lightly armoured, and their rifle/machinegun includes a sniper scope
3. Heavy weapons/Infantry : Slow and heavily armoured

The Freehauler project requires a 3D modeller and texture artists/mapper to join our remote development team.
Freehauler is a commercial indie development project. Credit will be given for all work effort and monetary payment awarded based on the value each individual has added to the project, once a net profit from sales of the final product has been achieved.
