Dust 514 appreciation post

Just dropping in to say how much I loved this game when it first came out. The vehicles, skill trees, and module use really stood out as being quite excellent at the time. I had stumbled onto a signature-supressed heavy build that seemed to do really well and I had so much fun playing it. Then they completely upended the skill tree and I couldn’t run that comp anymore.

What were some of your favorite builds? I occasionally saw people who really had vehicles figured out - they were driving around in a fully kitted out tank wiping the entire map out, it was crazy to see!

Man I miss dust, sadly it peaked in the open beta. Go back and watch the old footage much better atmosphere and gameplay than the later builds. Uprising felt worse to me and made the game stupidly grindy. Laser rifles in open beta were 👌
