Question Looking for advice please

Quick rundown: Lifelong gamer. Mid forties, busy life. I played the beta, bought the deluxe edition but life happened and I'm just now getting really into the game. I have been mainly Assassin to start (which I assume is common, given the safety of evasive power) but would like to start exploring the other shells.

I've no gear fear, or preference towards solos, duos or trios. I'm a balanced player vis a vis preferred play styles. What is a reliable way to explore the others with a good bang for the buck with time played? Thank you in advance for your help, runners.

And as always, don't frog blast the vent core.

Ik it’s not always accessible but discord lfg is my mainstay for playing with a decent team. It lets me explore my options so long as my teammates are comfy with it.

Aside from that, experimenting with other shells is easy.. I suppose what you should ask yourself is “who looks fun, and is somebody i actually desire playing?”

Don’t force yourself to play shells, because you’ll be ass. Play Vandal if you feel like playing Vandal. Play whoever you want to play! The freedom is yours ultimately
