CCP has posted more details on the weaponry in Dust 514 over on the EU PS Blog. Like previous entries, the firm shows some of the weapons on offer, the specs for each, and the types of playstyles each will suit. Speaking of suits, the update mainly goes into detail regarding how weapons can affect the player’s armor: for example, the Minmatar MH82-BCR Personal Autocannon can only be carried by the heavy dropsuit, but it can provide the wearer with more roles than just dealing with armored vehicles or swarms of grunts.The Gallente CRG-3 Plasma Shotgun was also detailed, and for those times when you have someone all up in your grill, CCP has created the Caldari ZN-28 Nova Knife – which has a heated plasma edge to the blade and can “carve through even the thickest dropsuit armor.” Nice.

The shooter, with direct, two-way ties to EVE Online, is currently in closed beta, and expected sometime this spring.

If you still haven’t succumbed to the temptation of dribbling away 50 trillion hours learning how to be a pretend spaceman in EVE Online, maybe the CCP MMO’s sparkly new website will push you over the edge. No? What about a nice new video aimed at helping you navigate the notoriously mental first few hours of starship pilotdom? Possibly? Watch it below. Then get your ass to Mars, or whatever.

CCP has announced that closed beta sign-ups for DUST 514 have gone live and for the moment, registration is exclusive to EVE Online players. While access to the beta, called Mordu’s Private Trials, isn’t guaranteed for every EVE player who registers, those who sign-up will be put into a “pool of participants” and if chosen, will be allowed entry into early testing and special events for DUST 514. The PS3 MMOFPS is slated for release in the spring.

EVE Online senior producer Arnar “CCP Zulu” Gylfason has announced he is stepping down in order to implement a “better and more efficient organization”.
