Special Abilities are a new featue of Alliance, exclusive to PvE matches. Each class has a new slot for choosing one of 6 unique class abilities for the current match. These abilities have to be unlocked by completing the Old Dog achievements for the class. Abilities are activated with the key <5> and give one-off effects or temporary buffs for various situations.
