I run out of ammo too, but it isn't because the heavies have soaked them up. It's because I haven't died yet. GOML |

GOML Yes, I run out of ammo all the time, but even faster now that the fields are saturated with fat boys. What's the most effective weapon against heavies. It's probably time for me to spec into a new weapon. Mass Driver?
The most effective weapon against a heavy is two mercenaries pelting a heavy with projectiles. We throw grenades just for the party too.
Coordinated attacks. Coordinated ability. Coordinated win

Thanks for the tip, but I am a total loser and run lone wolf. I agree, swarming heavies is the best plan, but in the heat of battle I often end up mono e mono.
No one should be able to solo a heavy because its a heavy. A point defender. It is built to withstand much damage than your medium to light counterparts.
So GOML is appropiate. Basically, I understand that a heavy is powerful and respect it. And that shows in how I engage a heavy.
Also, disengaging from a 1 on 1 is something that falls on deaf ears with most players. That's how you stay alive in Dust, knowing when to fight and when to run like hell. |

I agree that heavies are bad mofos, and I'm not saying that they are OP or anything. I also agree with carefully selecting targets to engage. I'm simply stating that I run alone, and I'm looking for the most ammo-effective way to dispense of heavies for a lone wolf, since the battlefields are teeming with them. Of course, my favorite tactic is simply to squash them with a drop ship when I get the chance to do so, but that isn't always the most expedient method.
Yet the tactic can be still used. Positioning is key. If I shoot at a heavy and grab his attention, meaning he gives chase, then I position myself outside of his optimal range. I aim for his head to make sure the shots hurt. I use high/low advantages, hills, support structures and blues to my advantage. I use a grenade to soften up his defenses. Or I lead him to a group of other players where we stand to fire upon him.
There are so many ways. You have to creatively defeat your opponent. Slow and steady is better than speed kills. Incrementally destroy your opponent. |
