Frontlines brings Holdfast into the First World War, fought between the '''Allied Powers''' and the '''Central Powers'''. The classes below are exclusive to the Frontlines (WW1) game type and its two [[Factions|factions]]. While many share their traits and abilities with their [[Classes|Nations at War]] counterparts, they fight with an entirely different arsenal — bolt-action rifles, trench guns, revolvers, grenades, and clubs from the [[Weapons]] page — across trench networks, machine gun emplacements, and the other [[Defences|Frontlines defences]].

The infantry officers govern the course of battles on the Western Front. They are able to issue [[Orders]] to organise their troops, and provide bonuses to men who follow them. Armed with a revolver and officer's sword, they lead pushes out of the trench in person. They can be distinguished from other soldiers due to the cross icon on the mini-map.

Surgeons selflessly run across the battlefield to tend to the wounds of injured comrades. A health bar appears above any injured men, allowing them to prioritise their triage. Don't be fooled, however, in thinking that these men have taken an oath to do no harm. Armed with a revolver, they can rapidly turn their coats red with the blood of their foes. Surgeons stand out on the mini-map with a different icon.
Medics heal wounded teammates and can bandage themselves. Injured players display a health bar, making them easier to find in combat. Medics carry a revolver and use a distinct mini-map icon.
