DUST Search - PSA: Squad Orders - Making the most of our L3's

I agree, but I feel that most people don't realize how effective the defend order is.

See, as long as you are x meters away from the defend order, you will get bonus wp. If your whole squad is nearby, everyone is getting that defend order bonus, not just the guy with the order.

The other thing that sucks is that the other orders don't give you the area of effect bonus that defend orders do. Attack orders only give you bonus if you kill that enemy, or hack that object. Even then, the bonus is still the same, so attack orders take more time and effort for the same thing that you can do more easily with defend orders.

Instead, orders should be able to work like rally points where you can put them anywhere and not have to have a lock on someone or something. However, these areas of effect won't give you as many points as when you put them on specific things that relate to both defending and attacking.

Finally, we need to differentiate between defending and attacking. An attack order should give you more points for destructions, hacking etc. A defend order should give more points for support actions. Both orders would give points for killing things within an area though, but not as much as the other two.

-For instance, a revive gives you 60 points, a revive with a defend order nearby gives you 78 points (30% bonus). A kill with a defend order nearby gives you 55 points (10% bonus), a kill nearby an objective/installation with a defend order ON IT gives you 60 points (20% bonus)
-A tank destruction gives you 150 points, blowing it up with an attack order ON IT gives you 195 points (30% bonus) Destroying that same tank with the attack order nearby only gives 180 points (20% bonus). A kill with an attack order nearby gives you 60 points (20% bonus). Hacking an objective with the attack order ON IT gives 130 points (30% bonus), hacking with the attack order nearby gives 110 points (10% bonus).

Bubba Rector BR514 16	Posted - 2014.02.20 20:39:00 - [4] - Quote the "capture" order works just like the "defend" order. it has a radius that extends and gives bonus WPs for kills, etc. I use it a lot. The only exception is that it can only be placed on enemy (red) objectives.
