DUST Search - Announcement:February Event!

In February, the hearts of many grow heavy. But love is a battlefield and there are none better equipped to deal with the damage than the mercenaries of DUST 514. And toughest of all of them are the brave men and women who don the heavy suits, acting as a shield and line of defense for their more squishy squad mates.

Operation Mauler
It's time for the heavies to make their power known on the battlefield! From February 19th to March 5th, players can participate in Operation Mauler, where heavy suit users will be pitted against those who stick to the lighter suits to prove their skills. This event will run across all contract types.

Wear a Basic Heavy or Sentinel dropsuit and score kills with heavy weapons to earn bonus SP and extra weapons to continue your destructive rampage! For every kill you make with a HMG or Forge Gun, you'll earn extra 500 SP (up to a cap of 500k SP), plus one Prototype AUR version of the weapon you used (up to a total of 300). Plus, if you kill a vehicle, you'll earn double the WP earned for the kill as bonus SP (up to a cap of 250k SP). That means there's a potential total of 750000 bonus SP to be earned!

But life as a heavy isn't all tank kills and bonus SP. Because anyone who scores a kill against a player wearing a Basic Heavy or Sentinel suit will earn bonus 250 bonus SP (up to the same 500k SP cap) plus an ISK bounty based on the tier of the dropsuit (capped at 10 million ISK).

Advanced GÇô 25000 ISK
Prototype GÇô 50000 ISK

THEAMAZING POTHEAD Nyain San Renegade Alliance 912	Posted - 2014.02.10 11:45:00 - [12] - Quote This is a good event, because the SP reward is very appropriately placed, even if we get 20 kills as a heavy its only 10k SP, and up to 500k, which is 1000 kills, thats alot but those who get them deserve the SP. Consider the average skirm is 4k SP, then cosider thats 8 kills for heavies in the event, which sounds about right for the average blueberry in skirmy. Then considering the difficulty of a tank kill with AV, the 250k (250tank kills) is nearly impossible to reach unless you go tryhard mode and play alot, in which case you deserve the SP. The rewards are also very enticing for heavies for that good SP, so i expect to see a decent amount. That means other suits will have a good chance at killing heavies too.

Merely for my understanding: * Only basic Heavy and basic Sentinel suits count ** Adv, Pro, Blueprint and LP suits don't count * Any HMG or FG counts ** Std, Adv, Pro, Blueprint and LP weapons count, as long as they have tag_heavy set as a tag (and not on a modifier) Payout is always the Pro AUR version of either Team Fairy DUST** HTTP://Dust.Thang.DK/ - DUST514 Fitting Tool based on DUST SDE

This means both Standard, Advanced and Prototype (can't remember if there are any LP or other Basic suits, but they would count as well). All Sentinel suits count. This means Militia, Standard, Advanced, Prototype, Aurum, LP (litterally all Sentinel suits). There are no Basic Sentinel suits. Otherwise you should be correct on the other points. Edit: In short then every suit with a Heavy Weapon slot counts. Winner of the EU Squad Cup & the closed beta Tester's Tournament. Go Go Power Rangers! R.I.P MAG.
