Upgrades to armor, weapons and perks can only be purchased by experience points. Paid-for loadouts will be available to the user instantly, while those who choose to unlock them through playing will have a much longer wait. 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, perks and upgrades. Players can select which loadout to use either when first joining a game, respawning or at an inventory station. There are three possible sizes of armor to choose: light, medium and heavy, with 3 loadouts in each weight group, for a total of 9. Each loadout supports two in-hand weapons, a set of belt items such as grenades or mines and a pack. Each loadout specifies what type of armor the player has, along with what weapons and items they carry. Personally though, I like to play them all since, as we all know, variety is the spice of life.Tribes: Ascend features a class-based loadout system. Įach game has a different feel and each has a community that swears by their own preferred version. Similarly, you're better off getting Tribes 2 from where it has also been maintained and patched by the community, and no longer requires the official login servers which have long been taken offline.Īnd if you want to play the original, get it from.

You're better off getting Tribes Vengeance from where it has been maintained and patched by the community beyond what is offered by Hi-Rez. In addition, I don't know if you're interested in any of the other games as well, but if so then: Remember to create an account at in order to be able to log in, as described above. It doesn't show if you search for it in Steam. However, you'll see that Tribes Ascend redirects to Steam at. OK so Hi-Rez made most of the games free to download at. I posted the answer a year ago on this very subreddit.
