Thank you to whoever told me that Sensitivity is inverted, so that 0% is actually faster than 100%, which is what I'm used to from every other Shooter, both FPS and TPS. Much appreciation to the many people who held their nuts and actually gave me constructive criticism rather than indulge themselves in hipocrisy, letting me know what a huge noob I am and how they're always nonchalant about everything. Thanks.
I'll be taking my sweet time to level up what I can, but seriously, 2k-ish SP is what I usually get in an Ambush match. Not sure about the Domination-type mode, becaus we always lose, but that's my average SP-gain. anything higher is just me on a lucky roll.
Also, is there a way to not use the default spawn point that places me infront of an enemy's crosshairs, killing me before I have a chance to turn around?
Also, is it me or is Melee utterly useless? And how do you use the Nova Knife? I charged the damn thing, hit him with it and even though I started to just melee him, he managed to turn around and shoot me dead.
Also, my 6 shooter and 3-mag Sniper Rifle are not 7 and 5 respectively. What happened?
PS: Btw, will the game cost anything when it officialy releases? |

Gravity! is biach.
What's even worse is that sometimes the mouse locks up... also this is a beta so we can expect things to change.
But keep working those matches and I'm sure you'll see improvement when one gets into the how-to's

C) 25% of the game is done.
As for the skill points thing, the goal is for you to still be playing years from now, this very same game even if it moves platforms, even if it changes expansion titles.
As for you white man cant jump issues, its probably because you're in a heavy suit, they're not known for jumping. Shove some biotics on a scout and see the world of a difference. Finally twinkershooting with a plasma rifle is really more for the tactical variant. Takes a while to get used to but you can down people out in the open with these things pretty quickly. |

sprinting and jumping both use up stamina, when you have no stamina you can't sprint or jump, it's specifically designed to stop people pogoing around like numpties.
if you have an issue with the UI post in the feedback/suggestions area.
put SP into AR and you should soon find that your bullets go more in the direction you want them to, AR skills decrease bullet spread and AR kick, making you more accurate.
SP gain is much lower now than it used to be, still in an ongoing balancing phase, stick with it.
hope this helps. |

First off welcome to DUST.
Second quit your QQ. Take some time to go through marketplace and learn stuff. This NOT A FPS. Its a FPSMMO with RPG elements.
This isnt just another vanilla shooter where you jump super high and can bunny hop in a scout suit to your hearts contents. Jump is tied into stamina and it diminishes when you are low on stamina past the stamina requirement for a full jump.
As for hit detetection that is an issue that is a common complaint but the result of QQ on these interwebz.
As for everything else, just get used to it because nobody is going to hold your hand and when you learn to play this game you'll never want to leave.
Enjoy.
Edit- With regards to SP gain go to this post as there is polling ongoing to determine the direction of SP gains

Your ability to jump correlates with your stamina. If you're out (due to a lot of running) you can't jump very high as a result. Wait a bit till your meter fills up again and try again.

Dust 514 is not only a FPS, it's also an MMO, RPG style game. To skill out everything would take about 7 years (rough ballpark quote from the developers). They also intent this game to be developed, like EVE Online for years to come. Not the usual 3-6 months support and then move on to develop another game. This means two things: 1) you get to build out a unique character over time; and 2): you've got plenty of time to do it. |

progression is intentionally bottlenecked, if you can build skillpoints to easily, they defeat the purpose of having skillpoints.
stamina exists, and destroys your ability to jump when it's gone. it's the little bar inside of your shield and armor bars.
if OTHER people are able to nail you from far away, and YOU are unable to hit them, how is that the GAMES problem? that guy killing you seems to be able to do it? is your aim assist off?
there is no wiki. it's a beta. until this week we weren't even allowed to TALK about it... |

Sensitivity: am pretty sure the lower the number the more sensitive the controls. That is if you whacked it up to 10 and not 1 etc. I left my numbers as standard but changed the dead zone box found under the move controller (it works for the dualshock too).
Though thee control sensitivity/ gameplay need a lot of work still.

Your jump takes stamina......alot of stamina in fact you can only jump 2 times before you stamina is basically depleted. If you are running and using your stamina and then you jump you probably only have enough stamina for 1 jump depending on how long you were running. This is probably the reason you feel you cant jump is that you arent jumping when stamina is full. When its full jump feels similar to Halo jump and actually makes you travel a good distance pretty quickly but it does ALOT of stamina.
The ARs have recoil and hipfiring the AR does require bursting in the "medium" ranges to be effective. Also once you level up your AR more then it becomes more stable allowing for slightly longer bursts and higher lvl ARs have better accuracy. The person who shoots you from far away if they have an AR its probably because they used ADS and might have even upgraded their sharpshooter skill which increases range on weaponry.
You get SP for A) Time in game and B) collecting warpoints. If you are playing Ambush you arent going to see many SP per game unless you get alot of WP. If you play skirmish you would see on average 5-6K SP before WPs are even calculated. That is because you get 5 sp per second in game at this time. (SP system will be tweaked soon but that is where it stands currently) Also you cap on SP everyday once you hit 27500 SP. This game is actually more about collecting ISK then collecting SP...both are important but isk is just that much more meaningful in this game.
This game is sophisticated. Expect the true learning curve of this game to be on the order of weeks not hours....or even days. |

appearently this game requires a certain amount of intelligence. If you lack of the last mentioned thing then this game is not for you. Please go back to a mindless run and gun, quickscoping shoter which evolves at a 2% rate from the previous year title. Thank you for contributing in getting my killcount and KDR higher. |

If you are having any issues with navigating the menus I suggest going to the the tutorials that can be found by pressing L1 and going to the bottom option. There are pretty good instructions on there, but I forget what all it covers. Also I am not sure where it is but there is user manual that CCP has available with very basic details |

That just shows how you lack any kind seriousness in this topic. You're just bashing the game because you can't get to do what you want it to do, instead of understanding how it works and doing what you can with the mechanics in place.
The case with stamina is telling of this. It's an intelligent system to solve what happens in some other shooters. Honestly, i don't even know how some people still insist on bringing up bunny hopping as a real problem in Dust 514 because if you do it, you'll be out of stamina real fast and can't effectively jump or run for a prolonged period of time until you recover stamina.
And you failing to THINK about this and to understand about how you have a stamina bar is how it shows that this game needs you to THINK about what you're doing, i.e. don't try to jump with your stamina bar depleted. Your inability to THINK about this element and to just laugh it off makes you look silly.
You just proved that this is a thinking man's shooter yourself. |

man when i joined closed beta i didnt even bother asking all these questions, i just went through the trial of fire, i learned it the hard way with no bitching about the game. and it doesnt take that long to understand how the game works etc etc noobs are just too damn lazy.
after seeing all these posts i think the noobs are just too spoiled from other FPS games, and they expect ccp to change it to a normal FPS >_> |

the best way to learn in dust is to figure it out for yourself thats what most of us had to do before ccp went soft and added the tutorial
best and first thing you should do is go through all the menus and figure everything out for yourself before launching into battle and then when in battle take some time in the back to figure out the controls and adjust your sensitivity and other things to your liking. |

Do yourself, as should all the noobs, a favor and go through the tutorial. Over the last couple of days I have been grinding on the noobs and it seems a couple of things DID NOT happened upon you (i.e., the noobs) entering New Eden.
1) You DID NOT do the tutorial. Shame on you, go out and read the directions. It helps out tons.
2) You have not taken into consideration the fact that there a a few of us on here (e.g., approx 5-6,000) that may seem god-like due to the fact that we, as closed beta testers, have had any where from a month up to 6/7 months to learn and understand the mechanics of this game. The learning curve is a bit steep, which SHOULD ENCOURAGE you people to TURN-ON your mic's and use TEAM CHAT (i.e, in match), while turning OFF the "PUSH TO TALK" option! This gives you a place to ask questions and begin to learn the mechanics of how all this is supposed to work.
3) The only dumb question is the one that isn't asked, so get on coms and ask people questions and quit being antisocial. Since the farming has begun, I have YET to see any number of you FNG's turn your F'ing mics on. Turning it on MAY help in communicating with your fellow Dusters in the field. So squad up and find a REAL corp, not and NPC one. Just a suggestion, and refer back to #2.
4) Get on the forums, specifically the training room. In there, there is a ton of great info and help for those that may be confused. This will also help inform you as to how the skills you are changing with your SP ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING (WOW, go figure, right?!?!?).
This game, if I would describe it in the context of other games that you might be familiar with, is like a strange amalgamation of Halo in theme (in time frame, sort of), BF3 (for the purpose of objective based combat and a great reliance to COMMUNICATION [i.e., turn on your mics, please refer back to #2]) and maybe a bit of COD (with some of the frantic Ambush maps).
This is not your grandmother's FPS. This is FPS, New Eden style. Your are going to get owned. A lot. There are those of us that have twice, if not more, SP than you being coupled with ton's more experience in doing fittings, specialization in weapons, and also have found what works for us. NOT TO MENTION; It is a BETA.
Well look forward to seeing you out there. Good Luck!
PS: You are also a NOOB scout. You have to be sneaky, not a lot of HP for survival. Take a moment and learn the roles of each "type" of character and see what it is their purpose is supposed to be.
SURVIVE, ADAPT, OVERCOME! |

Wtf guys...is this how you expect this game to succeed? By telling people that this isn't the game for them??
Most people, including myself, isn't going to be hooked at first glance. Especially when getting smoked all thetime. Just give tips and keep it moving. OP has a legitimate complaint for one who hasn't been playing for months. He doesn't know what's going on and need to be educated.
Anyway.....you can't bunny hop in dust like other shooters as you deplete your stamina. And the sp gain will change...the one we have now sucks and the devs know it. We voted for the best system and they will implement. But do realize this is an fpsmmo so tere will be an sp cap. But the new system will be tolerable. |

Quite frankly this game could do without people that come QQing to the forums because they got their arse handed to them. Don't blame the game, you'll never improve that way. |

isn't that what the "training ground forum" is for? in order for the new guys to familiarize with some of Dust 514's mechanics?
i may be speaking for most closed beta testers but not all of them when i say we did it the hard way instead of asking for help and saying the game's **** etc etc |

Anyway.....you can't bunny hop in dust like other shooters as you deplete your stamina. And the sp gain will change...the one we have now sucks and the devs know it. We voted for the best system and they will implement. But do realize this is an fpsmmo so tere will be an sp cap. But the new system will be tolerable.

Tell me how many of us have been complaining....it is all feedback. Do you know how many newbies go hardcore negative in these matches? They're not enjoying themselves either
My point is...we shouldn't shun people away because they're frustrated. The more, they play the more they will enjoy. How many of us feel like our opinion is the only one that matters? Have we paid attention to the Imps? And how many people are sucking them off every chance they get? (No disrespect intended) |

No, I'm complaining because I am frustrated. I'm not asking for anyone to change the game. This is just how I voice my opinion after failing games with no end. And to a certain user saying I came off as a prick, it's because I am a prick, but like I said, I'm also frustrated and new.

Being frustrated and new is no excuse to be a priick. You've just admitted to coming onto the forums, bitching about a beta all because you're frustrated and bad? We don't want to read things like this and they just waste space on the forums.
Maybe if you QQ'd less people would be more inclined to help you. |

We all understand your frustration bro as we were once new too, and it took a while to get used to it (alot of us have been in this beta for a year), but frustration gets you nowhere bro. Instead of getting frustrated just ask people for help, add a select few to your contacts if need be so you can ask them in game. Also, ask people in corp chat or local chat. If you're in an npc corp then join a player corp so they can help too, instead of being stuck with randoms during a match. We're a friendly community (well most of us are) and we are willing to help new guys if they need it, but we can't help unless you ask. Most of dust seems very overwhelming at first glance, but if you take the time then you will figure it out. Cut back on the rage threads because that will achieve nothing dude, relax. |

I'm using an Arbiter class, pumped the sensitivity up to 100% and my character is still a two-legged tank-Why? Also, sometimes the jump my character does is pathetic. I can barely jump off a ledge if I'm not sprinting first to gain momentum. Oh, and the damn hit detection. Sometimes I'm using the Assault Rifle at close-mid range and if I'm not burst-firing, timing my shots carefuly, I can't hit ****. But, if a player sees me from a mile away, I'm already limping away in whatever direction to avoid certain death. And how am I supposed to get SP in this game? After I've spent my initial amount, skills as low as L2 cost over 30k, which is what I make in 15+ games. Seriously, at best, I get 7k in a REALLY good match. 2-4k in an ok match and 2k in a poor match, which is my usual experience. I'm no noob, but I am certainly not used to these shoddy gameplay and overly complicated mechanics. And don't even tell me to look for a Wiki for information, because when a First Person Shooter requires you to go check out guide to understand something as simple as a marketplace, something is very, very wrong.
Now, I expect 1 out of 2 responses:
A) "Oh, this is too sophisticated for you CoD types"
B) " The world of EVE is a realistic one-blah, blah, blah"
Nothing is wrong. It is just different from other games. Hit detection is fine. unlike other FPSs, the aim assist really doesn't do much. So you actually have to aim. People don't die from a few hits ether *except militia*.
Unlike other games you cant be good right off the bat. You actually have to try and get better. Trust me, I felt the same way as you when I first started playing. I came from playing COD to this as well.
Ps. did you just say the world of EVE is realistic? We jump through worm-holes in out giant space ships while having people running around on the ground in some sort of iron man suits with laser guns.
Your grasp on reality is questionable.

Your stamina bar is nestled inside the armor and shield gauges. If its too low, you won't jump very high. Wait for it to fill back up a bit and your jump will be a bit higher. Honestly, I wish they'd have done away with jumping all together in favor of vaulting... That's just me, though. |

Don't lead your targets with an AR. This game uses hitscan so you need to keep the crosshairs on a moving target and don't lead it. This is very counter intuitive. |

If you have an invalid fitting then you have ran out of something or youre using up too much cpu or pg.You only have to run out of one thing for a fitting to become invalid (grenade, shield regulator, dropsuit etc, unless its bpo)
And going by your op it sounds like you're doing more than punching the keys, it sounds like you're ready to kill you're neighbors dog in frustration lol |

First of all you put in skill points into your root skills first such as light weapon sharpshooting if you want to shot farther, And vigor ,endurance to get your stamina up to jump a round like a bunny. If you don't put points into these you can have the best equipment in the game but they will not be very effective. |

Whatever you want to equip on your fittings, don't buy like 1 of each. If you don't buy in bulk of at least 10 or 20, you'll always be running into invalid fittings. I rarely let my fittings dip below 15, and that's a stretch. Most of the time i have around 30 available.
Also, keep your starter fittings for a while, they never run out. There are items that never run out (they have a blue background) but those are all bought with Aurum, i think. Actually, i still have a couple fittings that don't run out, even if i rarely use them. |

dubbs i think the response he is getting is in correlation to the attitude he projected when writing his post. We as testers want to have GOOD feedback and despite all the trolling we do try to enforce and etiquette with regards to new player posts.
I remember before i even started with my character class i came to these forums and looked at what each class is designed to do The website has great starting info with a FAQ section and information on classes, weapons, factions, vehicles etc.
After familiarizing myself with that i wrote these posts and looked at these posts

Additionally i spent some time in training ground and read up on stuff.
Then i figured out how to activate comms and screen team chat for mics. When i realized most people were staying in squad chat i would move from squad to squad until i found players with comms and talked to them
Thanks PHI Thirdcoast you were one of the first players i spoke with in dust, Actually i take it back Dubbs you were the very first.
I stumbled and struggled for the first week but i kept telling myself it was the SP gap and i will get there and then the reset came and i got there(still got a ways to go) but always kept improving.
Now im not saying i was saint and didnt have my share of antagonistic posts but that was in due to years spent in other game forums where people were too myopic and irrational to do anything else but talk smack and put each other down. But i soon changed because i realized here the players responded to maturity with maturity and flaming with flaming.
Perhaps its my OCD but i ALWAYS read the Strat guide/Game manual before i play a game because i want to have a cursory knowledge of the game so i can build upon it with ingame experience and trial/error.
Edit-- It already seems like he's changing his tune and getting helpful feedback in response. See it works.

I'll be taking my sweet time to level up what I can, but seriously, 2k-ish SP is what I usually get in an Ambush match. Not sure about the Domination-type mode, becaus we always lose, but that's my average SP-gain. anything higher is just me on a lucky roll.
Also, is there a way to not use the default spawn point that places me infront of an enemy's crosshairs, killing me before I have a chance to turn around?
PS: Btw, will the game cost anything when it officialy releases?
Hey sorry about the rants (although I'm sure there was valid reasons both ways)
The controls are admittedly unique and the gameplay can get cumbersome, but it was far worse over the summer and during the early beta. Fact is, you're talking to the remanent of those who survived and looked past all that for the far superior game we have today...so please understand what you're commenting and take the feedback with a few pinches of salt, eh? ;)
As for your edited questions: The sp-system was just recently altered from a daily-cap and previously a weekly cap, which allowed you to gain much larger ammounts of sp based on KDR scores per game. At the moment it is rather flat which benefits those who can play a large quantity of matches and disadvantages those who can only play a few. We are currently discussing ideas on how to best implement this critical feature and if you have some suggestions, please feel free to offer them.
The default spawn is only in skirmish mode as it is essentially a quick team-deathmatch, however you can use drop uplinks to provide direct spawn points on the map either through your equipment or through NPC static ones on the maps. However for the first drop, I just recommend grabbing your balls for a wild drop or simply tanking out with a minigun and running over anyone who was unlucky.
And no the game will be free and has had patches every 6-8 weeks. All free. Once they eventually move to expansions, you can see that Eve Online gets 2 free, Major Expansions every year...likewise for Dust 514. They still need to find good ways to make revenues though, so if you have ideas, post em.
I suppose for next time just try and articulate your points with a little more balance and be sure to ask questions with the expecation that they have been asked hundereds of thousands of times. Both because they most likely have and because you'll get far better feedback. And keep posting thoughts or ideas, I personally love to hear what the new bunnies think of our game after a year of grinding through all the changes. Hope to see you more on the forums.

Actually it may not hurt to buy one of each item counter to an earlier statement,
if you have spare isk and nothing else to do buy one of each item you are considering for the future use, this way when you make a fit the first time you don't have to back out constantly to buy something to fit into that slot its all right there ready to go when designing a new fit. Once fully tailor then restock it and see how it goes. Adjust, adapt, replan, impliment and try again, you will eventually make a soldier worthy of your skills. |

Also, is there a way to not use the default spawn point that places me infront of an enemy's crosshairs, killing me before I have a chance to turn around?
Also, is it me or is Melee utterly useless? And how do you use the Nova Knife? I charged the damn thing, hit him with it and even though I started to just melee him, he managed to turn around and shoot me dead.
Also, my 6 shooter and 3-mag Sniper Rifle are not 7 and 5 respectively. What happened?
PS: Btw, will the game cost anything when it officialy releases?
No the game is technically in official release, with expansions and improvements coming along the way Soon TM. However the game will forever be Free to play and never cost you any out of pocket money unless you want to.
With regards to melee, it is useless but that is because every other shooter has melee assist when close to a target that takes over and why melee seems so fluid in other games. In this game melee is unassited and you must be very close to the target for it to work and even then it is effected by the outline of your weapon. Melee damage is consistent across most dropsuits thought there are some suits that do more and there is a skill called hand to hand combat along with modules that can drastically increase melee(im talking OHK melee).
With regards to nova knives they are weak to start and is an area that may see improvement, but again like every other weapon it needs to be skilled into to make stronger. Additionally nova knife function as a weapon and you dont melee with them but rather use your trigger button to use them.
Also from the sounds of things you are already spreading yourself too thin in terms of weapons DONT DO THAT. If you are just experimenting and plan on creating a new one that different but its best to stick with one dropsuit and one weapon and focus on that for the next month or two before any deviation into other stuff, trust me i learned this the hard way
This post in training ground is a good start to give you an idea of where you should begin
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=428342#post428342.
With regards to ambush there are two variations, one with random spawning the other with dedicated spawn points. With random spawning there are times when a teammate will put down a temporary spawn point known as a drop uplink however like CRU(clone reanimation units)(installation that provides a set spawn point) they will be camped quite hard. When these are available for you to use pressing X will spawn you there, Pressing [ ] however will spawn you in randomly to a one of a number of predetermined spawning areas. Its random luck but a good idea is to wait 5-10 seconds before spawning back in and that sometimes mitigates you get caught in a enemy dense area.
SP gains are directly related to you WP gains, WPs are earned through kills, reviving players(60WP more than a kill) assits, hacking, dropping nanohives for teammates to resupply on, repair armor, and much more. The more WP you earn and the more you get near the top of the leaderboard on your team the more SP you will earn. Currently the SP is capped on a daily limit to 27,200 with another 24,000 given/day passively(it just keeps adding 1SP every 3.6 s)
Which reminds me when you are in merc quarters. Go to character-->skills and look at your SP at the top. If it doesnt rise by one every 3.6s(b/w 3-4s) then you are not gaining passive SP which is a known bug. To fix this create an 2nd character and when you are back at the character selection screen you will see Select, Activate Passive SP, Terminate. Activate passive SP on your 2nd character and then switch it back to your main. I do this everytime i login just to be safe but usually once is enough to fix it UNLESS you buy a passive booster in which case it sometimes bugs it again, hence why i do it everytime i logon.
Hope this helps.
Good luck
Edit- Post further inquiries/questions in the training ground section and also use the search function either for the entire forum or limit your queries in the training ground for more precise results, this beta has been in closed development for over 8 months you are bound to find information you are looking for with a simple search. But the training ground is a stellar and underutilized resource. But it really should be your first stop it helped me in an enormous way. |

Gunner Nightingale wrote:dubbs i think the response he is getting is in correlation to the attitude he projected when writing his post. We as testers want to have GOOD feedback and despite all the trolling we do try to enforce and etiquette with regards to new player posts. I remember before i even started with my character class i came to these forums and looked at what each class is designed to do The website has great starting info with a FAQ section and information on classes, weapons, factions, vehicles etc. After familiarizing myself with that i wrote these posts and looked at these posts https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=20621&find=unreadhttps://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=427335#post427335https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=43208&find=unreadhttps://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=430446#post430446https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=431255#post431255Additionally i spent some time in training ground and read up on stuff. Then i figured out how to activate comms and screen team chat for mics. When i realized most people were staying in squad chat i would move from squad to squad until i found players with comms and talked to them Thanks PHI Thirdcoast you were one of the first players i spoke with in dust, Actually i take it back Dubbs you were the very first. I stumbled and struggled for the first week but i kept telling myself it was the SP gap and i will get there and then the reset came and i got there(still got a ways to go) but always kept improving. Now im not saying i was saint and didnt have my share of antagonistic posts but that was in due to years spent in other game forums where people were too myopic and irrational to do anything else but talk smack and put each other down. But i soon changed because i realized here the players responded to maturity with maturity and flaming with flaming. Perhaps its my OCD but i ALWAYS read the Strat guide/Game manual before i play a game because i want to have a cursory knowledge of the game so i can build upon it with ingame experience and trial/error. Edit-- It already seems like he's changing his tune and getting helpful feedback in response. See it works.
When we up in da Barge, All Eyez on us, all eyez on usGǪGǪ You are now now rockin with I M Perfects and IMPSwarm b itch!!
I'm just aware of and afraid that not all players are like yourself. Many will not continue getting rocked until they've got the hang of it. Especially, when they are successful in other shooters.
I, myself, hated the game at first glance. I've had the beta since feb but didn't become real active until about sept when I decided to give it a real shot. But I hear you though....I haven't read any of his earlier posts to deduce whether or not if he is a jerk. I just read the newbie frustrations. And I didn't want him and others like him to get turned off from the game from initial misconceptions |

Don't use the Nova Knife if you are not A) Fit with a Scan Profile Damper, skilled with the Nova Knife, and Trained in Sensor Dampening and scanning skills. You need to know what is going on around you, and you need for your enemy to not know you are there. B) Able to afford to consistently fit it; there is no unlimited version.
Aside from that, it sounds like you need to change your tactics. Dust is more challenging in some ways than other shooters, and you have to be tactically aware. There is no standard armor and damage for each player of a certain type like other shooters I am aware of. One person may go down fast, while another may take forever to bring down, while more likely doing to you what you intend to do to him.
This has to be a consideration. Always be aware of cover, and try to always be aware of enemy locations. Watch your surroundings and do not rely on your team mates to watch your six. More often than not, they don't. Never bring a knife to a gunfight = old adage. Head on, a Nova Knife has limited range and you will likely die if you attempt to use it.
Nanohives are your friend. Not just because they restock your ammo and grenades, but because they do so for team mates, and they earn you WP when they do.
Keep moving; do not stand still. Snipers are often out there, and even if they aren't, you are much harder to hit when you move, even when your opponent is right in front of you. Watch some streams of other players doing their thing. I did this with Grideris' aka Gridboss' stream and learned a few things myself, despite that he often died horribly.
Don't get me wrong, he did well, he just died a lot. That's Dust. You can't expect to stay alive consistently and do well every match. Some matches will be against players who dominate the field or just flat out own you. And some will be against less experienced players who lack organization.
Stick with the team and fight who they fight or watch their back. This depends on the team obviously; some scatter to the four corners of the map with amazing alacrity. Sometimes this actually works. |

My biggest tip to anyone who doesn't use a shotty is don't be so quick to follow your target around a corner! I have gotten way more kills than I deserve by rounding a corner so my opponent closes the distance for me |
