Dust Brigade Machine

Thought I could give some feedback on the new instance, as melee I've mostly been in the hallways killing towers, so that is mostly what my expertise is. But here is the info I jotted down today about which towers buffed what, each run in the instance seperated by "---"

Code: Select all

south - reflect (blue)
east - heal (red)
west - reflect (blue)
north - heal (red)
east - heal (blue)

---

east - heal (red)
south - reflect (blue)
north - heal (red)

---

east - heal (red)
west - reflect (blue)
north - heal (red)
south - reflect (blue)

---

east - heal (red)
south - reflect (blue)
north - heal (red)
west - reflect (blue)

So as you can see:
East & North: Red tower that turns your damage on the boss into heals
South & West: Blue tower that gives Aune 100% (?) Reflect and 200 dmg shield.

With one exception, Aune always shouts something out in vicinity before one of the towers appear.
These:
Ground Chief Aune shouts: DIE!
Ground Chief Aune shouts: Go ahead! Shoot me!
Ground Chief Aune shouts: Shoot me cowards!
Usually imply that a tower is going up.

These:
Ground Chief Aune shouts: Know the power of the Xan!
Ground Chief Aune shouts: You will never know the secrets of the machine!
Usually imply that the evade/init debuff is about to hit, so watch out for the cloud somewhere on the walkway!

This information should make it easier to find out where the tower you need to take down is.

In addition it seems the ~1k DoT occurs shortly after someone steps into the nanocloud that erases the evade/init debuff. Currently it can cancelled by jumping if you are quick enough to notice the nano attack bar.

So there, a start to the info that is needed to compile a guide on this place

Hope it helps, cheers

Basic Infused Dust Brigade Bracer
Always drops 1 of these

Dust Brigade Notum Infuser
Used to upgrade the Bracer and the different Albatraum hud/util items (Nano Library, Defender, Vision Preserveration Unit, Speed Preservation Unit)
Drops 2 of these

Black/White Molybdenum-Matrix of Xan
For upgrading the Biodome armor into Enhanced Jathos and Enhanced Kegern armor. Black and White upgrade different parts of the armors, so it's not: Black=Omni, White=Clan. I am sure someone else can answer which is needed for which part.

Dust Brigade Engineer Pistol
Drops 1 of these, I believe it's upgradeable with the Notum Infusers, but not certain.

Dust Brigade Solar Notum Infuser (uncertain about the name)
Supposedly used to upgrade the original Engineer Pistol, can't confirm it personally..

Enhanced Dusty Armor
Also drops 1 of these each time.

AOU is your friend

Requires a fair "raid" force, so time to start fluffing your org mates and friends

On a Engineer pistol: first upgrade is Dust Brigade Notum Infuser, only after that you can use Dust Brigade Solar Notum Infuser. First upgrade takes 1.5k WS, 2.7K EE and ME (if I remember numbers correctly).

Quick update, finally managed to survive a few runs inside with Aune and I can confirm that the cloud is not a one-use only as was mentioned before.. It can be used by the entire team to get rid of the evade/init debuff, also when the red heal-towers are taken down the evade/init debuff is removed as well.
