Assault class has access to pistols, rifles and shotguns: the weapon of choice depends mainly on the role assigned to the soldier. This specialization focuses on the fight on short and medium range, attacking enemies hidden behind obstacles, and inflicting as much damage as possible (often with a critical hit).

Assault Commando specializing in fighting in the front line of the strongest opponents. - Class - Assault - Team and classes - XCOM: Enemy Unknown - Game Guide and Walkthrough
Assault Commando specializing in fighting in the front line of the strongest opponents.

Skills of the Assault class give us a wide range of possibilities. We can create a front line soldier, who runs forward and detects enemies. With skills such as Tactical Sense, Lightning Reflexes, Flush, Close Combat Specialist, Extra Conditioning and Resilience our soldier is practically resistant to fire and becomes perfectly able to defend oneself using both shotgun and rifle. In addition, he or she can force the enemy to escape from behind cover, exposing them to fire the rest of the team.

The second option is to create a killing machine. By selecting all the skills that increase the damage, such as Aggression, Close and Personal, Rapid Fire, Bring 'Em On Killer Instinct, we can be sure that the alien hit is a dead alien. The setting is much less resistant to fire than the previous set of skills, so you can select the version centered: having some skills that increase your damage and help others survive.

Combination of Tactical Sense, Lightning Reflexes, Rapid Fire, Close Combat Specialist and Killer Instinct can kill almost every alien using one action (only the most resilient Heavy Mutons and Sectopods are able to resist it), while granting enough resistance to allow the soldier to reach the goal.
