How to reproduce: create duplicates of the same suit/ variations of the suit with variations of the equipment. Once you drop all your equipment go to a supply depot and swap to the next suit, you'll be able to glitch the maximum equipment out per time infinitely by doing this repetitively.

Equipment is limited for a reason, and people are exploiting this glitch to diarrhea pile equipment all over objectives. It is impacting performance in PC as well as public matches and fw.

When something says you can only have up to 2 or 3 out at a time and you have 500% of that out, something is broken.

It's not a bug, it's a play style. The limit is for each individual peice of equipment, not all equipment. Your bias is getting in the way of your ability to read, bub.

You guys didn't understand.

This glitch allows you to exceed the deployable equipment limit. You can drop 10, 20, 50 nanohives, uplinks or whatever you want by doing that.

The OP is not talking about restock...

Attn: CCP Logibro

Please explain why this thread was on your report this week. If you limit equipment use in this game, you are no logibro of mine. Let logis be who they are and play the game the way they see fit. There is no bug to fix here.

Seriously. DON'T. RESTRICT. EQUIPMENT. USE.

The equipment was already limited, you found a way to exploit a glitch to bypass the maximum equipment out. He's not restricting you, you are cheating him.

I Feel a good fix for this would be: When someone swaps suits at a supply depot, any new equipment they chunk down splodes the last suit's equipment on a one for one basis. It is how it works when you use normal nanohives and throw down more than they support.

There is no glitch or bug here, tool bags.

THE LIMITS ARE FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, NOT ALL EQUIPMENT OF THAT TYPE!

Restricting equipment use stifles creativity and limits gameplay. Switching equipment and spamming hives and uplinks is a legitimate way to start and sustain an assault or bolster a line of defense. I'm sorry that you assault-biased CODophiles can't appreciate support play, but this isn't your typical shooter. Dust 514 is fun for people like me because there are many ways to play and make a difference. You goons are just too myopic to realize that's a good thing.

Your dropsuit does not have forty equipment slots, it has up to four. Even if you were to toss down four types of equipment, swapping suits for four different equipments should pop the previous ones. You don't have eight equipment slots, you have between one to four.

It IS a glitch. You were never supposed to be able to diarrhea spam equipment like this. That is why there are hard limits on each piece, and a limited number of equipment slots on the suits themselves. You are blatantly cheating with a broken mechanic.

This sounds like another case of people wanting to homogenize game play.

They call for limits rather than expansions.

You think the opposition is being effective in supporting their team? You call for limitations on base ability rather than a counter method.

That line of thought will create an extremely narrow set of play styles (basically Assault AR with one or two inconsequential pieces of equipment).

My understanding of DUST is that it attempts to be expansive and deep rather than shallow and superficial. Constraining choices is a sure way to kill this game because depth and complexity is its main draw.

People are exploiting a bug in core mechanics and calling it a 'play style'. If you want the core mechanics to support your play style, post in feedback requests. I'm reporting a bug here.

This has already been noted by the dev team in this weeks dev report sticky. It IS a bug. You are supposed to be limited by the amount of equipment your suit can carry. People have found a way to abuse a bug to cheat their way around the core mechanics.

I'm not asking for a change, I'm asking for the bug to be fixed. If you don't like the core mechanics the way they are supposed to be, post in feedback.

You can't read. Seriously. Read the attributes for any hive or uplink. The max active and max carried info is for that piece of equipment only! You didn't discover a bug, genius!

Is a bug, dev confirmation right there.

Thank you, have a nice day and go thukk yourself.

So how is this supposed to work?

I put one UL type on each of four suit fittings and the second type pops the first, the third pops the second, and the fourth pops the third?

Or

I put four UL types on one suit and lay out all four, then swap out to a medic fit and they all stick around, or they all suddenly pop?


What's my supposed limit?

If it's only what I can carry then being a support Logi just became extremely constraining.

You want me to schlep uplinks and hives around for you, but just one of each? if I lay out a handful of DU's and hives for my team I'm supposed to stand around with my thumb up my ass because I've got no active module and I'm too squishy to go to the front and shoot?

Then if I do die, well, my suit is no longer supporting the equipment so your hives and DU go pop?
No, they stick around? Well what the hell is supporting them then?

Might as well go become an Assault Logi, or see if vehicles are fixed in 1.5 and screw trying to help cry babies who won't be happy until everyone is carrying an AR and nothing is more important to the game than the almighty assault rifle.

I'll stop dispensing anything to you babies at all.

No.

Whenever you put out equipment from a new suit it replaces the old equipment one piece at a time in the order of oldest first.

*numbers are placeholders*
Throw out 15 nanohives, then swap to your drop uplink fit, throw out 5 uplinks. The oldest 5 nanohives pop as each of the new uplinks come online. Now you have 5 uplinks and 10 nanohives out.

In other words, you're making **** up. At least you're consistent.
