Depends. Amarr is a team heavy. GALLENTE is less of a team heavy than is the Amarr. Minmatar and Caldari are good solo heavies. I personally like the Gallente because like the Amarr, it can stack hp, and has resistance to rail and projectile, BUT, it also comes with a high base rep (more rep) and 2 high slots for damage. So if you wanna go armor solo, fit a galsent with 3 reps, 2 damage, and assault hmg, or even burst. Or whatever else you want, I have an AV fit with PLasma cannon since there's no heavy gallente weapon.

Caldari and minmatar are good too but when the flux hits, they are dead meat.

Amarr is too slow with too low rep o be a solo heavy.

This is exactly why you should go gal sentinel. Alex hmg+3 six kin reps on your back= GOD MODE.. it's addicting. AND.. tell your logi to make a commando rep. He won't be disappointed.. But no needles on that so you'll need another logi with needles but the commando can be right on your back taking fire, and the small logi preferably min logi can hang back a little waiting to needle. Its not about Kdr when heavy.. Its about winning the game, just having unlimited power.. And not dying and losing all your isk or Alex hmg..... Happy heavying! Caldari heavy is absolutely garbage.. Please don't be Caldari.. I Can flux and ion pistol any Caldari heavy in this game then have some fun with his logi friend

Which is the best race to go for? I am absolutely clueless about this so any advice will be gratefully recieved. Cheers in advance!

No-one-ganks like-Gaston Corrosive Synergy RUST415 541	Posted - 2015.12.10 16:36:00 - [2] - Quote That depends on your playstyle. We can tell you to pick whatever racial suit and for a variety of reasons, but that doesn't man you'll enjoy it or even do any good with it. Most people just go Amarr/HMG route, though. You're more likely to get a rep slave and you've got a **** ton of armor so your survivability compared to every other heavy skyrockets. The thought that Dust 514 may one day be the game we dreamed it to be. It fills you with Determination!

No-one-ganks like-Gaston Corrosive Synergy RUST415 541	Posted - 2015.12.10 16:46:00 - [5] - Quote If you want to go Amarr heavy with an HMG then make sure you play in a squad with a dedicated logi. You won't do any good at all playing solo as pretty much any type of heavy. With how slow you'll be moving, you're basically a sitting duck in any open space, you won't have a nanohive to keep your ammo up, and while reloading or in overheat, you are completely vulnerable. And an HMG (at least the standard variant) is nearly useless at anything beyond shotgun range. The thought that Dust 514 may one day be the game we dreamed it to be. It fills you with Determination!

I'll be driving next to you in a LAV,every time you go slower than 7m/s I'll shoot you in the as$ with a scrambler pistol. And yes,you'll be lugging a forge gun while you run. I got you the rocky training montage music at least. Ha!You can't kill me! I'm already dead!
LOL KILLZ LulKlz 538	Posted - 2015.12.10 17:05:00 - [7] - Quote Solo heavy you should go with a Minmatar. Faster than others and since you can shield tank with it you should be better off. Just make sure you do have some armor reps. Not solo or hardheaded as me? Go Amarr or Gallente. HMG is my first love SR my Sancha

Alcina Nektaria KILL-EM-QUICK Rise Of Legion. 476	Posted - 2015.12.10 18:19:00 - [9] - Quote I can't believe i'm saying this....but If you want to get up in there and raise your KD, go for Cal Sentinel as you can pop a few damage mods on. I mean, you CAN go for Am Sent, but they are overrated in my opinion. I personally use a Gal and enjoy it because I can be self sustainable yet deadly if I have a logi. Edit: if you want a challenge go Min Sentinel, but just note you won't have any sort of tank to rely on. D4GG3R is my mom. I have reason to suspect Archduke is a Sassy Pirate.

Victor889 WarRavens Imperium Eden 328	Posted - 2015.12.10 18:57:00 - [16] - Quote Playing solo - Caldari heavy Playing with one or more rep slave - Amarr that's all you need to know about heavies
Jack Boost Zarena Family 1	Posted - 2015.12.10 19:15:00 - [17] - Quote I was used to play solo as heavy exlusive. Point is... you don't bring up your KD playing as heavy... Only with team and at specific point of map you can gather more kils then deaths. Every death as heavy count cus you don't kill much. An 'stars' here playing as heavy with officer weapon can die about 9-10 tmes per match, cus haevy is not easy. But... you can try :) Good luck Not much time left...

Cal is great for attacking and free rome without logi help. Min is a good flank heavy. Gal is poop actions speak louder then words.

Yes it is, it is a specialized heavy frame otherwise players would not be required to level up the respective Racial Heavy Frame skill to unlock that respective Commando skill. Not only that but it has the same model and hitbox as a heavy with a different color scheme.

The best heavy only requires 18000 SP, the heavy frame M-I is a beast. And use the rest of your SP as you wish.

Refreak 44 DEPT OF CORRUPTION The Empire of New Eden 31	Posted - 2015.12.10 22:19:00 - [28] - Quote I use a Cal sent. They're great if you're always on the go and for AV, even against proto tanks. I mean, I haven't ever killed one (Even with another forge gunner and a swarmer) but just one Forger is enough to make them pull back. Then the shield regen is pretty alright so you don't really need someone to rep you like the Amarr sent. If you want point defense for the long haul of the match, I say go Gallente. It's self sustained with reps and has built in resistances if you go sent. \o/
