Dust 514 (also known as EVE: Dust 514) is a free-to-play first-person shooter that is being developed exclusively for the PlayStation 3 by CCP Games.
The game will be incorporated into the EVE Online Universe, which means it also features MMORPG elements. The battlefields in Dust 514 will determine who controls territory within EVE Online's world, and EVE Online players will contract players of Dust 514 to invade territory.

Gameplay
Dust 514 is a first person shooter with MMO elements, where players take on the role of freelance mercenaries available to hire by Eve Online players. They will also be able to seize territory for their own corporations.
Dropsuits
The mercenary soldiers of DUST 514 enter combat wearing dropsuits designed to protect them from both the elements and enemy fire. With a variety of specialized designs available, different dropsuits offer specific bonuses to speed, mobility, defense and configurability. Like starships and planetary vehicles, each dropsuit design comes with a unique slot configuration and powergrid (PG) and CPU that permit a range of customizations. The number and type of slots determine the modules, weapons, and equipment that can be fitted.
Weapons
Players are able to use different classes of weapon in different load-outs so that they can make meaningful tactical choices and respond to changing situations on the field of battle. There are three basic weapon classes: sidearms, light weapons and heavy weapons. Additionally, all dropsuits come equipped with a Nova Knife.
Vehicles
Vehicles play a large role on the battlefield in Dust 514. Heavily armored units use long-range, heavy, concussive attacks while lighter units utilize their speed and flexibility.

Currency
