The Whipper is a melee class, used as most of the front-line roles due to its versatility. It's slower than the boxer (except non-DEX package at all boxers), faster than gladiators, lower damage than the gladiator, but higher damage than the boxer. It's basically average as far as physical weapon stats g, and it has th elongest range of the melee classes, three times that of the boxer. What makes it unique though, is the immense kinetic energy used by most weapons for spectacular secondary attacks.
The Whipper's exoskeleton requires extra range of motion to swing the (very large) whip, so the shoulder braces are moved down to the upper elbow, so the whipper can move his shoulders more and freely swing the whip. It has a recoil aborber to absorb the energy the whip transmits to the wielder when it cracks. The whips themselves have balls on the end, for extra damage, and to hold the MP Motion Power device and secondary attack. IT has three upgrade packages. The STR package simple increases piston power, so more force can be transmitted to the whip, basically so it can be swung harder. The DEX package increases the clip size of the secondary attack mechanism in the whip's ball, allowing more projectiles to be fired from it. The MAG upgrade upgrades the eficiency and power level of the MP device, allowing it to more quickly power the secondary attack.

The Training Whip is a bright red, easily identifiable whip, which is made out of leather instead of the carbon nano-fiber tubes it usually is, , and with a soft, padded cloth ball instead of the usual metal one, so that no harm is caused by hits with the whip. IT's used for training for recruits, pre-mission training, and routine exercises.
The Whip is an orange whip made out of carbon nanotubes, with a metal ball on end, designed to transmit the maximum lethal force to the end of th whip and to be quickly usable. It's the standard-issue whip, and it's a useful weapon, although it's almost immediately scrapped when a more powerful weapon is given, except for sometimes in the VERSUS training simulator, which it gives a lower difficulty rank for.
