Hello,
With this thread I hope to give some very basic overview of some of the common thing you will be seeing in dust. These are the hardware questions; to mouse or not to mouse, Skill questions (currently only explaining passive sp which I have seen is a bit less talked about), The mini-map ( which i have done a previous post about mini-map post ) and a small overview of assault rifles, the most common weapon in dust uprising pre 14th release.
Hardware:
- Controller VS Mouse and Keyboard - That is a personal question How dare you. I prefer M/K but some sweer by controller
- PS3 can use mouse and keyboard. Any will do so don't buy anything specially designed for PS3 unless you have the cash.
- Some people find that if you play for long period the PS3 starts lagging. FIX = Reset playstation.
Skills: CCP has made a long term game. To get the best suits or max skills you need patience and time.
- Dont skill anything until you have used militia variants, This will save you time and tears. Ask people what they've used and how it works to get an idea.
- You make 1 passive SP point every three seconds passively without a passive booster. ( My mississipies might be a bit off but that's what i counted ) This is a total of 28,800 sp every 24 hours.
- You can make around 201,600 passive points a week.
- Assault and logi time - Saying that you will need around 1,900,000 points to get into a basic assault or logi suit. It will take you 66 days to get into the basic logi or assault suit.
Minimap: The image explains itself and by understanding distances in-game you will notice how far a simple 50 meters actually is.
minimap explained
- Assault Rifles - The most common weapon in the Uprising build due to it's amazing DPS and range. These weapons when moderately trained can be effective from up to 50 to 60 meters away. Any farther than that and it has lots of misses but then again with around 51 damage per shot from the Breach variant (level 2 assault rifle) you don't have to land many to kill your opponent if he does not reach cover.
DPS (no skills included in calculation of damage) - Breach variant= 340 damage per second/ Gek-38 (level 3) 437 damage per second / Gek (level 3) / Glu-5 (level 4) = around 980 damage per second. Being able to kill anything quick enough to not even know where they came from.
*As you can see this amount of firepower at such distances has made them kings of the battlefield in uprising pre 14th patch.
Counter: The counter to this weapon is simple, use cover and run away, have another assault rifle spray and pray or ambush them when they are engaged with another player.
As a side not My squad engaged another squad who all had duvolles or glu-5 assault rifles and we all died in a matter of seconds, so always be vigilant.
