You forgot meh LR.

How rude.

Have you actually tried shooting the GEK at a distance?

I am the official heavy cooker.

Because assault & AR are the standard of FPS.

I do think that playing heavy requires skill, playing any role requires some degree of skill. I won't admit that it's a difficult role to play however, it's not hard to stay within areas where your HMG is effective as it has quite the range and accuracy. It also isn't that difficult to stay alive without a logi after you get into a type II suit, after I got my alt into a type II I was having massive lols.. Nice sprinting speed, many assaults could never get away from me; though maybe I'm just good at cutting corners.

Most people are going to flock to what they're most used to when checking out a new game. There's a lot to learn and Dust is different than a lot of shooters, so why not pick a gun and suit that fits a familiar play style at least while you figure the game out? I think that's pretty logical reasoning, it's why I went and specialized into AR. It's the staple weapon of shooters, jack of all trades, capable of all but not the best at any.

Being able to kill 8 people in a timely manner without having to reload is awesome, walking tank with a gun that has good range & kills insanely quickly? Pffft. Sheesh, I gotta stop thinking about it.. making me want to play my heavy.

IDK, my 2 cents.

Actually my favorite point, out of all the players I run across the fewest suits I see are heavies.

This game isn't about killing. Obviously Heavies job is to hold their ground and kill, so they will be more powerful at killing than everyone else. This isn't overpowered, it's by design. If you run across a heavy your best bet is to run, their speed and tracking is horrible. I've managed to be caught in their line of fire and run away and survive several times. They can't chase you and their radars can't track you, use it to your advantage. Stop playing it like every other shooter where everyone has the same speed and hitpoints and every weapon is supposed to stand toe to toe with every other weapon.



Heavy may not be one of the most challenging roles to play decently, but still requires some skill if you are holding down a base to never give it up, or if you are charging with a squad to prioritize targets on the spot to keep your buddies alive. Also keep this in mind, if you are a heavy and your team doesn't have most the null cannons, there's no much you can do about it directly. You are too slow and too detectable to try and lone wolf capture them all back. Heavies become very dependent on the team for Skirmish at least.

I've seen Heavies with Gek Assaults.

heavies can run in a squad too.

You can get into any build off the get go.


I run strictly Heavy tho most of the time I use FG I do use the HMG, Just to see if I was as "OP" as everyone says I been using my Logi assualt Starter Fit. I feel like a ******* SUPER HERO, I can run at insane speeds, I can even JUMP OVER RAILS! and my scores at the end of the game are almost the same as running my Type 1 Heavy.

Ok I might have a few more deathes then normal but thats my own fault ( charging HMGs head on ) The Range and Accuracy of the AR is awesome compared to the HMG.

try the type II heavy, you can get that from the start, it can almost jump over rails, and dominates the Type 1,but that is just prefrence...imo
