The '''loadout''' window (default {{Key|L}}) is where you ~~pick a~~ class or build ~~your own~~.

[[File:Loadout icon.svg|64px|right|The Loadout button]]

The '''loadout''' window (default {{Key|L}}) is where you make your classes. TeamSpec has no fixed classes: every class is one you build, from four items and a split of spec points, and dressed how you like. See [[Classes]] for the spec system.

== Building a class ==

# ~~Click~~ the add tile to start a new class, or ~~copy~~ one of ~~the ready-made [[Classes|~~classes]].

# In '''My Classes''', click the add tile to start a new class in '''Build-a-class''', or right-click one of your classes and choose '''Edit'''.

# Give it a name and, if you like, an icon.

# Fill the four slots: primary, secondary, melee and accessory. Hover an item to see its card and stats.

# Drag the handle in the '''spec triangle''' to split ~~exactly~~ 10 points between ~~pick~~ (speed), ~~power~~ (health) and ~~support~~ (regeneration).

# Drag the handle in the '''[[Classes#The spec triangle|spec triangle]]''' to split 10 points between Pick (speed), Power (health) and Support (regeneration).

# A slot outlined in red holds an item your split cannot pay for. Move the handle until every item's cost is met; the triangle shows where that is possible. A kit whose costs add up to more than 10 can never be paid for.

# Write a short ~~description~~, which is shown when ~~someone hovers your~~ class.

# Write a short "how to play it" note, which is shown when you hover the class's tile.

# Press '''Save''' to keep it, or '''Apply''' to play it. A class needs a name no other class of yours uses. '''Delete Class''' removes it for good.

Your ~~custom~~ classes are saved and can sync between computers through Steam Cloud (see [[Settings]]). You can also set body ~~colours~~ and your skin tone here, and wear [[Cosmetics]].

{{Tip|Right-click any item, in your loadout, the item picker or the [[Inventory]], to see its details: stats, damage falloff and its 3D model. A weapon's details have a '''View on Wiki''' button that opens its page here.}}

== Changing class in a match ==

You can ~~change class~~ while dead or standing in your own team's [[Spawn rooms|spawn room]]. Elsewhere the change waits until you next respawn, so a mid-fight change cannot be used as a free heal or reload.

You can switch to another of your classes while dead or standing in your own team's [[Spawn rooms|spawn room]]. Elsewhere the change waits until you next respawn, so a mid-fight change cannot be used as a free heal or reload.
