enough to really give it its niche roll!!

I can say in full confidence that I am not afraid of heavies in this game.

That's a major problem.

The heavies back at the start of open beta used to send me sprinting For cover, they were so terrifying the forums were flooded with NERF threads, I miss that, nobody dared **** witha heavy head on solo like we see today.

Haha are you kidding, heavies are a pain in the butt. Get a better machine gun lol !!! Heavies are already like tanks. A regular weapon with no mods is worthless when shooting at a heavy. You are better off throwing the weapon at a heavy and start running lol !!

I'm actually going to agree with you. Heavies are really difficult to kill one on one. You have to empty a clip right at their head using an AR or SAR. that's hard enough to do. For those, like me, who use the MD, you absolutely have to flux them or you'll not be able to kill them in one clip. With the new aimbot stuff going on with aim assist all the heavy has to do is turn and hold down the trigger and you're going to get hit nearly 100% of the shots. So they've got their damage increase from previous, and now they hit with that bonus damage. They are fine. Learn to play and stop trying to be a hero.

I know this is a crazy idea right? If the heavy suit was more resistant to small arms fire smgs ,pistols and low grade explosives i.e grenades then the heavy suit may have a fighting chance.

Here is where I got this crazy idea http://dust514.com/universe/dropsuits/


"Heavy

The Heavy dropsuit is designed to withstand concentrated small arms fire and protect the wearer from low-grade explosives. Its power-assisted exoskeleton lets the wearer use the heaviest weapons available.

What heavy dropsuits lack in mobility they make up for with incomparable defenses. Mercenaries wearing such armor have been known to survive going toe-to-toe with enemy vehicles."

That is what I really want. Why the **** Assault suits get to have 6-7 high/low slots on proto/advanced levels but Heavies don't?

I can assure you, given how often I am getting taken down one on one that it really can't be that hard. While I may be a militia heavy I'm still carrying around 900hp, and I just melt under AR fire, I've lost CQ DPS races with AR's when we've both started shooting at the same time.

At the end of the day, this is a DUST problem.

Nothing has actual roles. It's who can make the better slayer, every time.

If you aren't slaying, you're doing it wrong.

People that are scared of heavies in 1.4 are terrible players.

I think your on to something here I would also suggested a new area on the wheel for these type of slots

can you imagine stacking some explosive resistance and being able to walk through the grenade or mass driver spam that would be what this suit needs. I think it would need its own health wheel so multiple nades still wear it down but it would give you some more survivability

Rendered obsolete against newly engineered Drop Suits which comes with active defense systems including shielding (whose radiation is lethal to humans over long time exposure) along with armor resonance and other penetration defeating methods.

Development of the Rail Rifle began shortly after the Sniper Rifle was developed to speed up the projectiles in order to defeat the active system sensors.

Another Case is the Sparrow Class Dropship versus the Myron/Viper class dropship.

Most of the old generation dropships can no longer be used in combat only after the fight is over. MCCs have practically replaced the largest drop ship classes the smaller ones are getting replaced by troop transports we're familiar with.

Our own laser rifles are a generation ahead as well

Our Railgun Armaments are much smaller than the old generation ones, while projectile ones increased in calibur and fire small warheads now to defeat our systems.

Infantry shield tech is not even mentioned anywhere on this page

And it scales even worse when proto suits and guns come into play. A Duvolle >>>> Boundless HMG.

My duvolle is eating heavies just need a better medium suit
