Battlefield Heroes, which entered open beta earlier this year, will be getting its first class update sometime this fall. The update will be for the gunner who will get three abilities modified.

Changes will include:

• Gunner explosive keg will also slow enemies
• Gunners will heal as they fire in Frenzy Fire Mode (the more ya shoot the more ya heal)
• Nearby teammates will be shielded as well when activating shield-mode

EA will also be integrating a feature to distinguish player rankings in the game.

Battlefield Heroes is a free to play, online shooter.
