'''Subclasses''' (formerly called focuses) are the primary way [[Guardians]] improve and level up.

Every class has ~~numerous~~ subclasses to acquire and develop, each with its own specialties. ~~FSubclass~~ is effectively a piece of equipment that can be changed at will, much like selecting a new weapon. One Subclass can be used as a competitive multiplayer loadout, while a second healing-oriented focus can be used for cooperative play. Subclasses are also meant to be synergistic with the gear the Guardian is wearing.<ref name="Game Informer"/>

With the exception of the three "base" abilities (jump, super, and melee), each column of three upgrades is mutually exclusive; only one can be active at a time.

Every class has two subclasses to acquire and develop, each with its own specialties. Subclass is effectively a piece of equipment that can be changed at will, much like selecting a new weapon. One Subclass can be used as a competitive multiplayer loadout, while a second healing-oriented focus can be used for cooperative play.

Upon mastering a subclass, the player is awarded an [[Exotic Weapon Bounty]] from his or her Vanguard, as well as an achievement/trophy.
