As with many other games and the talk surrounding them, DUST514 and it's community use(s) a wide and expanding vocabulary of terminology used to refer to game concepts, mechanics, objects or just as plain abbreviations.
The below list attempts to compile this and provide a meaningful explanation where necessary.
- Ambush: Game mode - DUST514 equivalent of Team Deathmatch
- Aim Down Sights: The scope through which you look when using the weapon's zoom capability. When the weapon has no scope but allows you to zoom nonetheless then the term ADS does not apply (makes sense, but correct me if I am wrong)
- ADS: See Aim Down Sights
- AR: Assault Rifle
- AV: Anti-Vehicle
- AV Nades: Anti-Vehicle grenades
- AUR: Alternative in-game currency (Aurum) - used to purchase special items. Can be purchased from the Playstation Store
- Blueberries: A common term for team members that are not in your squad or affiliated with a player based corp. The name comes from the blue icon that represents allies on the overview and minimap
- BPC: BluePrint Copy - Any consumable item (Module/Weapon/Tool/Vehicle/Turret/Installation/Dropsuit)
- BPO: BluePrint Original - A variant of a consumable item that never runs out. Easily distinguished by it's blue icon.
- Capsuleer: A player in EVE. In EVE, a player's character resides inside a capsule. The capsule act as a life support system as well as a personal transport vessel for getting around space. It is equiped with advanced neural interfaces so that the capsuleer (player) can commandeer spaceships after docking with them.
More info can be found on the evelopedia page
- Codex: Fourth patch (v0.6) to the DUST514 closed beta - See patch notes for more info
- Corp: Corporation - DUST514 and EVE equivalent of a clan/society/guild
- CRU: Clone Reanimation Unit - Can refer to both the battlefield installation and vehicle/dropsuit module
- CCP: The company that developed this game
- Danger/Red Zone: Area on a map that is off limits to players. Staying in this zone for too long a period (about 20 seconds) will result in death
- Derp: ?
- DS: Dropship
- DS3: DualShock 3 controller
- EVE: EVE online, a Massive Multiplayer Online RPG (MMORPG) developed by CCP that shares the same universe as DUST514
- Fatty: Heavy Dropsuit
- Fit(s): Fitting(s) - DUST514 (much) enhanced equivalent of equipment loadouts
- FG Forge Gun - Heavy Weapon Class Anti-Vehicle weapon. The charged energy it fires also deals significant damage to infantry
- GEK (1): GEK-38 Assault Rifle (Advanced-level AR)
- GEK (2): Killswitch GEK-38 Assault Rifle (AUR variant of the GEK-38 with prototype components)
- GLU: GLU-5 Tactical Assault Rifle (Advanced-level Tactical AR)
- TFUGäó Harden The Frack Up, A term aimed at someone who keeps complaining about the same stuff to tell them to learn to adapt or get use to it.
Probably coined by the CCP Permaband, also a named song by the same band (link to music video)
- HAV: Heavy Attack Vehicle
- Installation: -
- ISK: In-game currency - stands for InterStelar Kredit
- Kitten: A cute and innocent replacement for any known curse word, among them the widely known and used one that ends with K
- Logi/Logibro: Logistics Dropsuit
- LAV: Light Attack Vehicle - Turret installation
- LBI: Large Blaster Turret - Turret installation
- LMT: Large Missile Turret - Turret installation
- LRT: Large Railgun Turret - Turret installation
- LoS: Line of Sight
- Meta Level: The Meta level of an item indicates its quality. The higher the number, the better (and more valuable) the item often is
- MCC: Mobile Command Center
- MMO: Massive Multiplayer Online
- MQ: Mercenary Quarters - your private quarters
- Nades: Grenades
- NeoCom: A sidebar-style navigation menu from which you can access things like your character sheet to game settings
- NULL cannon: Massive missile launcher that works well against MCCs
- OB: Orbital Bombardment (fired from a spaceship orbitting the planet and piloted by an EVE capsuleer)
- OHK: One Hit Kill
- OP: Overpowered
This list is far from complete, and in keeping with it's spirit, would benefit much from community feedback/suggestions ![Smile](https://forums.dust514.com/Images/Emoticons/ccp_smile.png)
EDIT: To my surpise, this list has grown too large to fit in one post. The list is continued in a separate post below. Since I did not reserve any space, you might have to scroll down to see it. |

Danger/Redzone - The maximum time before suiciding in this area is 20 seconds (not 15). OB - Orbital Bombardment (inflicted by capsuleers shooting from space in their internet spaceships in Eve Online) PS - Precision Strike (inflicted by NPC controlled warbarge). Less damage than the OB. Skirmish - Dust 514 equivalent of King of the Hill mixed in with Team Deathmatch. |

Not sure if it's worth putting up here but
Blueberries = common term for allies on the map, represented by their Blue Dot icons, that not in you squad and/or affiliated with a Player Based Corporation.
LRI = Large Railgun Installation LMI = Large Missle Installation LBI = Large Blaster Installation
Objective = Squad Order / Command given to you by your Squad Leader. Awards more points upon successful completion.
UVT (Universal Voice Transmitter) = A device, purchasable with Aurum, that lets you use your Voice Chat to communicate with players in Chatrooms not related to your Corporation.
Repper = Slang for Remote Repair Tool
Triage = Any player that carries a Nanite Injector is considered a "Triage Unit" that is capable of reviving a Downed Player.
that's all i got for now.

- SMG: SubMachine Gun
- SP: Skill Points

One thing that i really don't get is that you have to be 18 in order to play this game, and there's no censorship on voice transmission, so why don't they just let people swear in chat? :P |

I THINK it's a requirement by the ESRB for MMO games that feature a chatbox. And you don't HAVE to be 18 years or older to play this. You download it from PSN for free (in the future) so anyone smart enough to navigate the PSN store would be able to access this game. Actually does this game even have an "Offical" rating by the ESRB? I thought it was still pending. O.o

Permaband is actually made up of CCP Employees, as far as I know. so HTFU wasn't just broadcasted by CCP, it was created by them.

Meta-Level in relation to weapons, is an average rating of the weapon. The higher the Meta Level, the more valuble the weapon.
Example:
Militia Assault Rifle = Meta Level 0
Standard Assault Rifle = Meta Level 1 |

While I often use "blueberries" in text, in combat it's blue-dots... Blue-dots and Green-dots, and Red-dots... everyone is a "dot" just of different colors, and I've heard just about anyone on mics use the same terminology.
Also, a common phrase now which we hope will disappear seems to be the ever dreaded, "Blue shield". I.e. when fire hits a player, his shield flares as if he's been hit and should take damage but his health does not report that damage.
Not official game world terms but more of player colloquialisms and commonly used terminology.
Similar to "Shield ____" and "Armor ____", or when players are referred to by their weapons on comms: "Mass driver at C", "Shotgun flanking left"... The only two who are called out by their roles are "Heavies" and "Snipers". |

I use Rez to request a revive, it comes form my days in MAG. Rez as in Resurrection, as in brought back from the dead. That's what it seems to be in BF, MAG, Resistance, Brink, Uncharted, Army of Two, Borderlands and now here. Not as many guy do it but when they do there my hero, mics are nice too hear too. |

Hero - (Verb) To blindly charge as quickly as possible from controlled area to enemy controlled area in n attempt to take a control point/null cannon, done usually with little regard or knowledge of what is at the destination or enroute. Or simply charging into an unknown situation without care that you're gonna die and may achieve nothing. Typically using Scout or Assault fits.

Nice work here! Here you might want to add
RE -- Remote Explosives -- Sinnboto's guide PE -- Proximity Explosives Protobear -- Kira's def.
Maybe you can insert hyperlinks into the glossary; i.e. term Logi/Logibro may lead to one of Logi guides or DS to Dropship guide, etc.
But then, maybe that would be too much. Even like this is nice enough!

OP - "Aim Down Sights: The scope through which you look when using the weapon's zoom capability. When the weapon has no scope but allows you to zoom nonetheless then the term ADS does not apply (makes sense, but correct me if I am wrong)"
end quote
Aiming down the sights (also known as ADS) is when you would secure the butt of the gun against your shoulder and literally look down the length of the gun and aim through the sight.
This includes both scopes AND iron sights |

Seed = to make something available to players in the game, typically via the market thru NPC stations. New BPOs or actual weapons/ships/etc. are "seeded" into select locations so they can be filtered into the players' hands -- at least the rich players :) New ships & weapons show up in Eve in that manner. |

Great idea...
RoF - rate of fire
UP - under powered
Newberries - noobs (seen it a few times today might not catch on)
POS - player owned structure (will hopefully be relevant soon)
