DUST Search - Sticky:[GUIDE] New Players Guide to DUST 514

Musta Tornius wrote:

Hello, my name is Musta Tornius and I've with the help of several fellow DUST Mercenaries, been working on a guide for the newer players of our community.

DUST 514 can be quite a daunting FPS game when you first try it out, and most likely quite overwhelming. Hopefully the basic knowledge you need to enjoy DUST can be found in the guide. It's not meant to be comprehensive guide on every little aspect of DUST, but it does aim to give you the knowledge you need to get going!

The guide will be updated every now and then when it's no longer accurate and things have changed. Feel free to post suggestions in this thread on what you'd like to see included or changed. Any inaccuracies reported will be graciously received.

Thank you guys that helped me make this guide possible, especially JasonPearson, Grit Breather, Heinz, Argo Filch, G Torq, CCP Saberwing & CCP Frame and anyone else I've forgotten!

The pdf can be found here on CCPs very own servers: New Players Guide to DUST 514

PS! If you are going to bookmark it, I recommend bookmarking this thread rather than the pdf file as the URL might change with future iterations.

Last Update: 17.1.2014

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother

CCP Saberwing C C P C C P Alliance 1063	Posted - 2014.01.17 02:52:00 - [2] - Quote Brilliant stuff. I'm thrilled with this guide and it absolutely deserves a Sticky. It is an awesome piece of work and we're happy to support it as much as possible. Musta deserves all of the credit for this and I hope new players can find value in it and learn a great deal about the game. Great work Musta, and thanks again. :) CCP Saberwing // DUST 514 Community Manager // @kanafchian

I like the first pic, though am I the only one who sees the Bolas in the background and screams "Bolas! Run away!" :-p Would love to see a scout shotty or nova knifer in the pic too, but you can't fit every popular suit fit combo :) Nice stuff!

The Skirmish map you have up is a picture of Fracture Road not Line Harvest as the subtitle says. Good catch, it was originally another picture which is why the names are mixed up. I'll add it to the list for v2 (coming after 1.8 sometime). Thanks everyone for having a look. I realise this guide is not of much use to most people who have been around for a while as it's aimed at the newbros, but it's nice that you're double checking stuff :) DUST514 Weapon Range & Information Team Fairy DUST

Is there any possibility to have a brief summary version in game somehow? Btw OP - Nice job :)

It is part of what makes EVE great is the out of game content provided by the community, such as Dotlan for EVE.

I love seeing player content being made.I had some time and realised that this guide didn't exist in this form anywhere, so I put some effort into it and made it happen!
