Private Eye

The Private Eye, quite possibly the best solo class to be in the game Neocron 2 besides the hybrid monk. The Private Eye, or PE as it is best known, is the jack of all trades. He is not particularly good at one thing, but more than avarage at a lot of things.

Most people play PE's because they are relatively simple to use, and they make a great first character. Private Eye's do however have some negative aspects. To be a good Private Eye, most players will rely heavily on drugs, such as Redflash, Nightspider, Beast, etc. so they can use the full potential of the PE. Most PE's rely on drugs because they have lower skill caps than other classes, so to use the best weapons they can, they must drug.

The majority of PE's use pistols, while others use rifles, and every once in a while you run across a PE using a melee or heavy combat weapon. Pistol and rifle Private Eye's are an example of their Spy characteristics, while when they use melee or heavy weapons, they portray their Tank characteristics. Most PE's would probably best their compeitiors one on one because of their Psi advantage. PE's are given the ability to Damage Boost, and Shelter, which combined with them using a high tech level weapon, such as a Slasher, people complain that they are over powered.

The biggest complaint about Private Eye's would have to be the PE that uses the Ionic Crossbow also known as the Xbow. Xbow PE's are able to use the most powerful pistol in the game, buff themselves better than any class in the game except for ppu's and some hybrids, and damage boost their enemies. Xbow PE's are probably the strongest solo character.
