Dual-75 Duster
The Duster is equipped with dual 75mm cannons that are able to quickly unload its ten round magazine. Each shot decreases accuracy unless given time to recover; this allows the D-75 to feather accurate shots or bombard a wider area by unloading.

The Dual-75 Duster is a belly weapon available to the Liberator. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash

The Dual-75 Duster is a dedicated anti-infantry cannon, able to bombard a large area with its ten rockets loaded with generous explosive payloads. The Duster is relatively accurate on its first shot, however will quickly bloom to a large cone over the subsequent four shots, requiring the cannon to be burst-fired to maintain accuracy. On direct hits, the Duster is capable of dealing moderately high damage-per-shot to vehicles, however the weapon's innate inaccuracy makes consistently landing shots on a vehicle incredibly difficult.

History

• June 19th, 2014 Patch
  • The Duster is intended to be primarily anti-infantry and needs improvements in this regard. It needs to stand out in that role so we are increasing the blast radius.
    • Inner Blast Radius increased from 0.75 meters to 2 meters
    • Outer Blast radius increased from 4 meters to 6 meters
• June 26th, 2014 Patch
  • Fixed an issue where thermal optics for the Dual-75 Duster were not set up like other belly guns.
• September 26, 2017 Update (D&UC)
  • Now on Light Anti-Vehicle resist type
  • Direct damage from 900 to 175
  • Inner blast damage from 500 to 350
  • Outer Blast Damage from 1 to 50
• November 20, 2017 Update
  • Cone of Fire max from 6 to 3.5
  • Cone of Fire min from 2 to 1.5
  • Cone of Fire bloom from 2 to 0.5
  • Dev Note: A cone of fire adjustment allows the Duster to make use of its rapid fire and magazine size with a bit more freedom. Previously, the most effective way to use the Duster was to use it like a Zephyr in singular or paired shots. This change helps move it more toward its intended function.
• October 16, 2019 Update
  • Direct damage resist type from light anti-armor (type 5) to A2G warhead (type 23).
  • Direct damage from 175 to 225.
  • Changed first and third person particle effects so that they're more visible.
  • Changed projectile arc style to be more influenced by "true" gravity direction.
  • Dev Note: This change buffs the direct-hit damage on the Duster against armored ground targets, increasing the versatility of the weapon.
• March 30, 2022 Update (The Arsenal Update)
  • The reload speed certification lines for main cannons, noseguns, ESF wing mounts, Liberator bellyguns, and Flash weapons have been standardized at 5/7/8.5/9.5/10% reload speed.

Trivia

• The Dual-75 Duster was originally intended to be the Terran Republic's faction-specific Liberator belly gun, however this idea was scrapped and the Duster was released as a Nanite Systems' weapon.
