Starlink: Battle for Atlas characters, pilots, and special abilities
Learn about the different pilot characters in Starlink: Battle for Atlas, including details about each of their special abilities.
Ubisoft's latest space-based shooter Starlink: Battle for Atlas gives players the chance to sweep through the galaxy and eliminate foes with a selection of different pilots, ships, and weapons. At the start of the game, players will be tasked with choosing their favorite character, and though pilots can be swapped out at any time, gamers would be wise to look over each character's unique attributes and learn about their different Pilot Abilities.
Characters, pilots, and pilot abilities
There are ten different pilot characters players can choose from in Starlink: Battle for Atlas, with each having their own exclusive Pilot Ability.
