What do you want to do?
What are you using?
What are you getting wrecked by?
Fair warning this game takes the mental fortitude it takes to survive boot camp to get into. New players get savaged and only a few stick around long.
Also ignore the STD heavy/scout/sniper BS. If you blindly take that crap advice without understanding what you are getting into you will get torched. You won't have fun. |

Join DevHangout in DUST and voice up if you see me.
I am a sentinel/commando specialist and have run every role in the game at one point or another to learn how best to kill them.
Best advice is to join a corp, learn what suits and modules do what, and build your fits around your preferred play style.
This game can cater to almost any style and since it is less mindlessly twitchy strategy and fitting matter as much as fast reflexes and awareness..
Basic rules:
1: grenades are not instant kill weapons. Don't rely on them.
2: do not run straight at anything bigger than you. He is easier to hit but will have more HP and does more damage than you. Flank and backshot him.
3: your rifle will not kill vehicles. Get out of the way or use anti-vehicle weapons (forge gun, plasma cannon, swarms, AV grenades, remote explosives)
4: gallente and amarr weapons kill shields best
5: Minmatar and caldari weapons bust armor best.
6: Gallente and caldari weapons are the most evenly balanced for shields and armor.
6: use AoE blast weapons to kill scouts.
7: never sit still. Forge guns, plasma cannon, shotguns, snipers and nova knives can one-shot you.
8: sidearms are now deadly. Don't laugh at the jerk woth the pistol. He can kill you.
9: if you see multiple people with the same corp in the same match it is a squad. Expect to get killed if you encounter them.
10: this rule is by far the most important. Teamwork is overpowered and bringing friends who you work well with should be done at every opportunity.
Six newbies in militia gear who coordinate well can annihilate 30+ million SP lunatics like myself running solo.
Friends make DUST not suck. |

Learning how to fly a dropship...
Enjoy.
I'm an expert dropship pilot with a perfect record.
100% crash rate.
If you have the patience for that crap I look forward to helping you crash as well. |
