Make 2 characters, play one match with each so have a bit more isk for skills,
Then train the Gek Assault rifle on one, Assault scrambler on the other..
If your convinced you know what weapon you want, after that work on your hp pools, Armor/shields.
By that point you should know where your going..

And totally ignore other game mechanics like heavies, snipers, logistics, and vehicles? Yeah, just spec into rifles, that's the only way to play Dust 514. |

Either die a lot or AFK farm in the MCC or use the starter sniper rifle to snipe from the hills until you have 3 million or more SP.
Also remember that the people killing you are probably not better then you...they just have more SP then you.
Also be sure to restart your PS3 after 5 matches or so....Dust is buggy pile of crap and game play (aiming) will get worse and worse the longer you play it.
Also SP is king not gear. So save your ISK (money) Upgrades in gear only give small bonuses compared to what Skill point levels give you. |

No, I'd rather encourage OP into trying out everything before they make a decision on what to specialize in. Last I checked, there's more to Dust 514 than just rifles and infantry. What if the OP found they liked HAV to their liking? |

yep, my advice is clear, roll a toon, use all the points to dive into something an try it, then delete.. rinse an repeat..
I said roll 2 so he dont get pwned by the 10 hour delete, and I aimed him at crutch weapons to get the hype over with. |

Good tankers can still tank, that's why they haven't gone extinct yet. It's called adapt or die. But limiting a newberie's view on what they can do in this game isn't a healthy practice. Show them what's available and let them decide for themselves. We got 90% of the playerbase using ARs, we don't need to force another GEK-38 and Caldari assault suit into someone's hands. |
