Ok so I've been playing for a little while. It seems that it always takes a lot of rounds to take down an enemy while I die rather easily. Now I'm not QQing about that or anything as I'm sure shields and armor play a large role in this. I guess my question is is shot placement a factor here? I usually aim center mass. I'm not sure because dust is tge first game I've played where headshots don't seem to deal more damage. I assume its from the shield absorbing the kinetic energy of the impact. Anyway if I boost my shield and armor will this help? I uaually run militia assault as I feel I need to spend nost of my isk on weapons to feel viable on the battlefield. Thanks for any help guys. |

Try not getting hit. Use the environment hide behind walls, mountains and any other structure.....LVL UP YOUR SUITS. You cannot stay in militia SUITS forever. Its just to start you off... BIG WEAPON, small suit.= LOST WEAPON, = lost ISK
RETURN to the clone unit for another BIG WEAPON, small suit
Repeat process then Rinse.
What im saying is that combo leads to you getting WASHED UP !!!
Blessings and good luck with handing out some punishment

that's your problem. sure you can deal a bunch of damage but if you are a glass cannon you're gonna break very often this will result in you you not having as much isk as you could have.
switch back to the militia or standard AR, get to a standard suit and work on getting a good base of hp.
leveling up mechanics gives you more armor, and drop some points into the shield skills as the shield tank playstyle is currently more useful in more situations.
work on having a suit that will survive before you run super expensive guns. stick with the standard AR for a while if you've got the isk though you should use the militia if you don't.
rdit re-read your post and noticed i didn't address headshots - ARs get a 1.5 bonus versus heads. |

Yep, just like the man said - level passive Shield boost, Shield regen, and Mechanics for hp.
After that it is also just lag that may be killing you. You see/feel only two shots but hey have actually emptied the clip into your face. and headshots do count - both armor and shields are weakest there - and the ankles if they are standing behind a truck.
Don't rambo it either, stick with a squad, use your mic, and carry a nanohive or nanite injector with you to help out others
Lastly - if you are playing the assault type suit get the assault type II as quick as possible - it has a natural shield boost. It is what most assault characters use. |
