A heavy can't count on anyone. Ambush - if you can't Murder Taxi because of AV - then just get used to kill assists and staying next to blue blobs. We're pretty much useless without a forge gun or squad. CQC areas we still dominate - but it's all relative to your play style.
The most effective way to use heavies in pubs is go skirm and camp and objective you see the other team wants and learn choke points. We can bring down people quick who don't realize that objective has a dedicated heavy. And even if they do the nodes were almost made for us to use as great terrain advantage. I suggest equipping flux nades as they'll even help you bring down most LAV's quick and against infantry HMG is killer vs armor.
Get the Saga - it's less then 100,000 SP to aquire, put 1 shield extender, 2 PG upgrades, and a scanner. Always keep it near your objective. Al you need to do is hop on it for a second and activate scan to know where ppl are coming from - it comes back often to use too. IF you get into trouble it's also a great get a way vehicle or a vehicle you can use to close distance against pros who know how to hit an objective.
We're the hardest class to use in pubs - but we're necessary for PC. Keep strong. |

dont get me wrong, im hardly a newbie. im at 7.3 mil SP and have been rolling as heavy the entire time, and have been in dust since closed beta. (although i only played off and on then)
its just that i find myself missing the obvious sometimes. and that is unacceptable with my mindset of "never stop getting better"
@lance - yeah, i kno dood. im still hoping u wouldnt mind grouping up sometime, 1v1.
@everyone else: thx for posting and giving me these tips. i hope everyone who posted learned something from someone else while they were at it.
honestly, when i play, i wait for my comrades to drop an uplink b4 i spawn so i dont have to traverse the wild frontier. i run militia gear almost exclusively. i strafe (which is NOT easy to do as a heavy) i aim at faces, i crouch, i do actually find choke points, i do decently against those pesky scouts.
sometimes tho......depending on the map or lack of good team mates.....i get absolutely smoked. i do have some good logis to play with, but some of them arent always on. and i am guilty of getting excited and bullrushing ahead without thinking lol
i dont use any modules except shield extender & recharger, and armor plates & repairer. im currently able to use complex repairer & recharger, but only advanced plates & extenders.
i use the std smg as my sidearm, and was actually considering going into flux grenades (it dawned on me only recently that that might b a good idea. thats wut im talking about when i say i sometimes 'miss the obvious')
just a side question, btw.......wtf is the difference, if any, between the basic suits and sentinel? and if there is none (besides module slots) then wuts the point of having them?
ive seen no difference other than how the slots are placed, so i was wondering if i missed something.
The sentinel suit is the joke of the heavy community. Utterly worthless and anyone who goes full proto in it deserves to be called a bad heavy.
I want to also remind you on how to use HMG - it has a slow turning speed but using R1 to aim makes a difference to your DPS. The trick is aim in front of there movements then using R1 for just a moment to get in some extra damage - never use it for more then a few moments. Strafing - as pointless as it seems for us - is still vital to making sure every bullet doesn't land on us. Every little bit helps in the competitive field. |

Lol ops. Too lazy to go back and edit. Deal with it ;)
Heavies have the best community in dust with the best rivalries. Will look forward to seeing you in PC someday. So very few of us stuck in it all the way and a lot of corps are paying for there poor judgement. No one holds an objective like we do. |
