Hello newbies, I am Breakin Stuff, the purveyor of all things helpful and fun. For today's lesson 9my first ever) I am going to explain to you all what the "strafe glitch" is, and how to exploit it properly, allowing you to fight back against those tools who wiggle back and forth like a Hyena-baby on crack while hopped up on caffeine.
Is this cheating? NO! However, it does increase your survivability against the veteran players who have been butchering you left and right, and I guarantee it will **** them off INTENSELY to have a sub-10 million SP newbro exterminate them in a fair fight.
Now what is the strafe glitch? The strafe glitch is the use of rapid strafing back and forth to throw off the enemy aim. This in itself is not a bad thing, except for two things.
1: There is no inertia in DUST on your character. What this means is you can instantly change direction with NO LOSS OF SPEED. A rapidly strafing character (called the wiggle dance by vets) results in the hit detection in the game tracking you poorly and resulting in higher survivability.
2: Aim Assist has reticle magnetism. It's not as severe as you see in DESTINY, but it's enough to let you pull off some truly obnoxious things in response to nerds who want to flaunt their "gun game" by torching your fun with their dropsuits that cost more than what you earn per match.
How do I do this mighty trick? It will take practice.
Step 1: Dropsuit choice.
The faster the better. Anything marked "scout," Caldari and Minmatar assaults, and (if you're fighting fatties with miniguns) the minmatar sentinel. Gallente assaults can pull this trick off and I have made it work in a commando. But the Caldari and minmatar scouts and Assaults are hands-down the best choices to make this work. Load up on ferroscale armor plates, with a reactive plate or armor rep, as well as shield extenders. Remember, the more mobility, the better.
Step 2: Open up the neocom menu, go into your settings and turn Aim Assist to "ON." This is critical, and the technique does not work if you don't utilize this feature.
Step 3: enter battle.
Step 4: This is the hard part. You have to target an enemy for this, I recommend Q-syncing with a buddy to opposite sides of facwar to properly see how this works and practice the technique. If you strafe across your buddy, you will notice the reticle "sticks" to the target. this reticle magnetism is affected by speed, so the faster you and your target move relative to each other, the harder it locks. (WARNING! This is less effective against fatties, but it still works!).
The critical part is while you are strafing rapidly and enjoying the higher shot avoidance, you must not use the right stick. If you leave the right stick centered, you can Enjoy your reticle mostly sticking to your enemy, causing a higher number of hits in your favor. Only use the right stick if you move too far off the target. Remember, you want to use TIGHT, rapid circles on the controller, or a figure-8 pattern. The key is not stopping for anything. The tighter the circle, the more accurate your aim assist.
Step 5: KILL THOSE BASTARDS!
If you find yourself opposite a friend in a map, there are many out-of-the-way spots you can practice this technique without boosting. Boosting is the practice of artificially inflating your warpoints through dubious means. Don't do it, this is a bannable offense. Practicing how to get cheap kills on vets is NOT bannable.
So ladies and gents, I know some of you have moral qualms and see this as "cheating." This guide was not meant for you. Please leave the thread in a calm, orderly fashion.
This thread is for people like me who realize that if you can't beat 'em, JOIN 'EM! This is how the KDR-vomiting forum warriors (many of them anyway) do that voodoo that they do.
So I hope you have fun putting the guide to use.
Go forth and murder a few vets by strafing them to oblivion.
EDIT: This technique works best between 10 and 20 meters.

So praise the bravery of the fellow amarrian assaulter' who have lived through this pain... Early on I learnt the hard way ...70mill sp later on learnt when when these strafers come just to back up 10 metres jump up and lock on in the opposite direction hard to do quickly but effective. Buff the amarrian assault speed to counter this tomfoolery lol. But salute to you our newbros need to understand why someone suddenly becomes Fred Astaire

Just an added note; the wiggle works better if you have a DS4 controller rather than the old DS3's, the dead zone is smaller and sticks are shorter so it's way more responsive.
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

Wiggling in a circle? Seriously? A sombrero dance makes you harder to hit? God damn it. Guess I'd better work on my fiesta skills so I can keep up with the protofessional dancers. Bookmarking for later. |

b-but the forums told me it was you KB/M cheaters with your OP ADADAD spam and your incredibly accurate and not agonizingly glitchy mouse aim that were the infamous "super strafers"!
---
Another tip for learning this "technique": Invest a small amount of SP in unlocking the breach submachine gun. It has DPS comparable to the standard SMG with an effectively even larger magazine, and it may just be my imagination but slower firing weapons seem to have more effective aim assist (with the bolt pistol having the most obnoxiously effective aim assist of them all)
Get yourself a Breach AR (or just a militia AR) and a Breach SMG and go to town, swap to the smg the second the AR mag runs dry.
The alternating damage profiles of the AR (+10% shield damage) and SMG (+15% armor damage) will synergize as you chew through your target, making even heavies cry |

Why thank you. Wonder if this works with the lasers. Have you figured out the new grasshopper technique they doing now? Looks like they trying to get back in space to keep from dying. |

Pretty soon you'll find yourself trying to match dance patterns with your opponents. You'll want to change up the pattern or risk getting led. Also, watch out for crossfire. If your opponents are working together, 90-¦ crossfire will mean one of them can track you pretty well.

So you're actually not supposed to touch the right stick at all?
No wonder why I always fail to see how they do it.
Have you ever looked up at the stars and realize that somewhere, out there, there is always something ON FIRE?

I think you posted this the day we had that match against eachother where your HMG decided not to work.

Tell that to Caldari0perative. A.K.A the only person I've ever seen fail to go positive in a Myomassdriver fit 5 matches in a row.

The current strafe meta is the worst thing about this game at the moment. Sure the people who abuse it love it (and will try and shout down anyone on the forums who says otherwise) but everyone else I know finds it incredibly irritating.
Strafing was much slower in chromosome and I never heard anyone complain about it. What people forget is that even though strafe speeds increased at some point in uprising, there was that mechanic that slowed your movement down when under fire. This meant that it was much more difficult to strafe through your enemy's shots and abuse hit detection.
However when this mechanic was removed strafe speeds where never lowered back down and thus the game has the strafey bs we see today. |

It's unlikely to go anywhere. The mechanic has been in the game since before chromosome.
That doesn't mean it isn't broken though and we all still want what's broken to be fixed
