The Direct Urban Strike Team, or D.U.S.T., are an elite unit of the T.E.S.T. forces equipped to deal with counterinsurgency and urban combat. They are trained to deal with the Devouring Earth and other unusual threats, making them the premier force for deployment in First Ward. They are equipped with a unique variant of standard T.E.S.T. armor and with a specialized plasma cannon that has a variety of firing modes. The Rangers are among the most elite soldiers in the PPD, able to survive for months at a time in the desolate wasteland of First Ward.

Powers

PraetorianPolice DUST PlasmaStream.png Plasma Stream Ranged (Cone), High DoT(Fire/Energy), Foe -Regeneration
DUST forces are equipped with a variable fire plasma projection weapon. The default firing mode allows the DUST Ranger to use their weapon as a high efficiency flamethrower, launching exceptionally charged plasma streams at a target. This causes damage over time and reduces regeneration rates of affected targets.

PraetorianPolice DUST ForcePunch.png Force Punch Melee, Light DMG(Energy/Smash), Foe Disorient
DUST Rangers are equipped with powered armor that allows them to easily carry their special plasma cannon. This also increases the strength of their melee blows, making a melee attack from a DUST member a serious threat.

PraetorianPolice DUST ToxicBurst.png Toxic Burst Ranged (Targeted AoE), Minor DMG(Toxic), Moderate DoT(Toxic), Foe -Regeneration, -Endurance
The DUST primary weapon can have its ignition system switched off, allowing the soldier to fire the fuel as a projectile. This projectile bursts in a small area around the target, dealing toxic damage to all those in the vicinity. The volatile chemicals evaporate quickly, causing continuous toxic damage, as well as regeneration reduction and possible Endurance drain.

PraetorianPolice DUST ShockwaveGrenade.png Shockwave Grenade Ranged (Targeted AoE), Light DMG(Lethal/Smash), Minor DoT(Lethal), Foe Knockback
DUST forces are equipped with a variable fire plasma projection weapon. Their secondary fire mode allows them to lob a highly damaging Shockwave Grenade at their target. This causes bleed damage over time and can knock their target from its feet.
