My current method of hacking is to run up to the consul, hit every button on my controller, maybe put a few rounds into the computer for good measure, and then run away. Twice consuls I attempted to hack have gone blue right after I left them, but I am not sure if it was due to something I did.
Anyway, since I have not yet found a post on this topic, I thought it was time for a stupid noob question. |

Objectives have a particular panel you have to go up to, everything else you just have to face it. Hold the 'O' button and wait for the ring to completely fill and then it's yours. |

depends on what you are hacking. turrets, vehicles, CRUs, supply depots... you go up to it on an side and look for the message showing the circle button saying "hold to hack" appear. hold the circle button until the hack meter maxes out at 360 degrees.
for null cannons, you need to go to the terminal on 1 side of the cannon and wait for the "hold to hack" message. hold the circle button until the hack meter maxes out at 360 degrees.
no shooting or button mashing necessary.
hope this helps ya. |

Also, you can move around while hacking provided you stay close to the installation or control panel. Very helpful if a sniper is covering it. |

Yup. As Noob as they come. First consul game. I figured that if I start in the bata maybe I will be competent by the time it goes live, and hopefully the terrible k/d record from my first weeks of floundering will be wiped as well. So far I have 1 kill and probably about 50 to 60 deaths.
By the time the game goes live I hope to have a wireless headset as well for proper coordination, but for now I am just trying to learn to shoot strait and figure out the other basics.
Does this game have any mechanism for matching opponents based on a similar total count of skill points between the two sides? If not, then it should have something like that, because I imagine dealing with new players would be a real pain for the vets.
I am guessing there are three type of new players in this bata: - EVE players who canGÇÖt shoot straight. - Consul plyers who donGÇÖt know how to fit a drop suit or where to assign their skill points. - Eve players who also play consul FPSGÇÖ who hit the ground running.

You are missing a core part of the player base the blueberrys im almost certain are computer generated bots programmed to br the most ******** thingbin fps since.. well I can't think of something more ******** than the blueberry that stands in one spot when I revive them and waut for the inevitable 10 sniper rounds looking for a home in his head...

C Saunders, I have not been around long enough to answer you question. I can see however how someone with brains could pick up the technical side a lot faster than someone my age can learn the fine motor skills to aim straight rather than waging their rifle back and forth like a dogs tail.
ValGÇÖherik Dorn, it is strangely comforting to hear that there are some players even more useless than I. The first time I spawned in game I ran for cover first thing. Of course I was not very coordinated and may have run into the wall I was trying to get behind, and the spawn point was being camped so I did die three times before I managed to get out of the line of fire, but at least I try to play smart and as I get better with the controls I hope to start contributing more to my team. I almost killed a sniper this morning at about mid range with my Militia AR, so my aim is getting better. I guess he was not watching his radar, because I managed to sneak into the hills behind him.
Edit: Oh, and I forgot to thank Aeon Amadi and cranium79 for answering my question. Thanks guys. |

If you want to learn the ropes of Dust 514 I suggest you join the Osmon Surveillance corporation, very popular with new or in-training players, as they will accept anyone, no team skills, mic, or even general skills needed. You even get your own 'cool blue' radar insignia so everyone knows you're there to help... In the least helpful ways possible! |
