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).

Is it includes only vehicle destroying point(for example:if I killed a tank, I get 1502=300SP as bonus.) or includes killing the driver(it adds 502=100 points)? And can't I get the SP if I use AV grenades, swarms, or so? The other question is about killing heavy suits.Can I get SP as bonus,when I kill the heavys while I use medium or light suits,or using light weapons? (Excuse me for my poor English, but many japanese mercs are waiting the answer.) "Eternal Force of Scout" All must die..

Their best player on the enemy team only got 12 kills. I will be putting the logi suit up for a while during the event. This should be fun.

This. XD Disturbingly Bored wrote: Will wearing my Templar Sentinel BPO count as wearing a "basic" Sentinel suit for the purpose of this event? It's classified as "sentinel" so it should qualify. I think what they meant by "basic" are the suits with 1/2, 2/2, and 2/3 slot loadouts that don't get the sentinel bonuses or require the sentinel skill. The "basic frame" suits. I don't think they meant basic in the sense of standard level suits. Basic is a describer of modules BTW (i.e. basic shield extender). Links: List of Most Important Threads I make logistics videos!

Basic just means the non-specialized frame. I took it to mean Standard only, but now I take it to mean that all tiers qualify.

lithkul devant Legions of Infinite Dominion Zero-Day 143	Posted - 2014.02.10 16:05:00 - [47] - Quote The forge lightning balls of death are going to be raining...I suggest any dropship or LAV to kiss their ass goodbye now, HAV's you might be cool for a minute or two, but you'll die just as well. Every heavy suit knows that the HMG sucks, except at proto levels really, and if no one plays the heavy suit people will be sad pandas as they don't get those bonus sp and isk. So lets hope for the friendly vehicle armageddon that is sure to come. Though I honestly wish they would have added commando suits onto the list though can understand it...since it is for heavy weapons only.
Quil Evrything Triple Terrors 926	Posted - 2014.02.10 16:24:00 - [48] - Quote Waait... So Militia Heavy doesnt count, for getting kills as a Heavy? Which means Eon BPO doesnt count? :( If militia doesnt count, then a beginner Heavy player would have to drop a freakin boatload of SP into this to make it ISK effective, since "basic heavy" frames cost a boatload, compared to sentinel. yeah, I know for the scout event, "militia" ones didnt count... but light frames didnt count either. In this one, you're letting basic heavy frames count. So how about letting militia count as well? After all, it's really about promoting use of true Heavy Weapons, isnt it?

Are you telling me, someone who's played as a Heavy for over a year, that only Proto HMGs are any good? Well thank you so much for filling me in!

Note: for some reason the forums are no longer telling me when someone replies to my posts so I may not see a response if I do get one So.....when are the um......new dropsuits coming out CCP.....it's been a few weeks now.... ;)

Because, while I'd like "a heavy suit".. I want a CALDARI heavy suit. So, me speccing into amarr heavy right now, would be counter-productive to my longer-term goals.
