I consider myself pretty good at FPS with k/d well above 1.0, however I cant get good at dust.
I love the game and the promises for the future but currently I am at bellow 0.5 k/d.
Not to mention that I am getting about 200 wps/game and when I compare that with other players the difference is abysmal.
I got almost 10m sp mostly in AR, sniping and SL.
Just can't figure out I am doing wrong.
Any tips appreciated.
Thanks.
use this dropsuit
militia gallente medium frame
3x enhanced armour plates
now it might be 2x enhanced armour and 1x enhanced reactive plate, make sure you
have some armour rep.
that gives you 612 armour with a rep of 2hp/s
it's slow rep but is a formiddable suit when coupled with...
combat rifle! spec up to ADV and use the BK, you have NO high slots on this suit but you don't need damage mods or shield.
I have prof 3 on the CR now and with prof 5 and complex armour gauranteed i could go head to head with heavies,
in a militia suit.
make sure to leave some room for a nanohive and the suit will cost you under 30K
27K for ADV weapon (which is a beast) and over 600 armour (with max upgrades you have 762hp total)
now you have a cheap suit with killing power and good HP buffer.
try experimenting with plates, the secret to success is REACTIVE plates, they are incredible,
try 2 of them with 1x enhanced armour plate and you will have 421armour with 4hp/s rep.
it's sad how I remember all this.
Also one other piece of advice is this, as soon as the game starts press select and hit TEAM, join any squad you see, the more full the better, you will benefit from not only having a squad but being able to see what they see and also having their support
in repping you etc.
Make a cheap fit, take my fit, it's incredible, it's a militia suit and I walk all over people with it.
And in a squad you will find that you have more fun.
Also the SL and SR are not great weapons to spec into, the swarm launcher is a peashooter against most vehicles
and the SR hit detection felt off the last time I used it and damage mods got nerfed, then again I still get destroyed by 6
snipers on the bridge map so maybe im wrong!
if you don't want an assault suit then perhaps try support, use uplinks in domination, use a rep tool and hide round corners whilst heavies take the flak (they are the front-runners after all)
you will get thousands of WP in no time, you could easily get 2000-3000, kill when you have to, make sure your entire team
is at full health all the time, constantly run between them, stick behind a heavy with 1000 armour and the points will come.
how about this? group up with a heavy, put the squad order on him (hold R3, go to defend, click R1 on the target) when you repair him you will get 25 points for triage, 35 for guardian AND you will get commission from his kills.
nanohives, uplinks, rep tools are the key. I've had some games where the points are appearing on my screen so fast I can't keep up with them.
I played one game in domination which ive been meaning to upload to youtube where 8-10 players all got over 3000wp in the same game, domination can be insane for points.
don't worry about your KD, but if you want assault, use my guy above, but DUST is about more than killing. don't risk expensive suits as support roles as you will die a lot more than if you were a killer, just stay back and repair, drop uplinks in a convenient place and guaranteed you will break 1000wp in your first game.
I don't really care to play DUST right now, I may try tonight as I see they have fixed the spawn glitch (thank you kindly) so I guess I should try to help out new players.
Armour is still most prevalent in this game, 600+ armour a MLT suit? that's desirable, combat rifle is a BEAST, everyone uses it and if they don't they get smoked by someone who is, drop the assault rifle and use the CR before it gets nerfed, just be wary of the very fast clip-emptying time, it fires very fast if you haven't used it before.
get your cores up, perhaps use a kin cat with armour and an armour rep, gallente medium fame has 3 low slots so you can experiment a lot!
i realise you only have 10M SP but you should have enough to spec into a different weapon and get some good plates. |
