* NecessaryDrawback: Many of the perks carried over from the base game are now saddled with these. For example, the Gunslinger and Commando perks now have, as a drawback, an accuracy penalty on the type of weapon covered by the opposing perk (eg. Gunslinger's penalty affects weapons that benefit from Commmando, and vice versa). Another example is this mod's version of Shotgun Surgeon. It now adds a drawback of reduced damage when using non-shotgun firearms.

Set 20 years after the events of the game, the Mojave is definitely ''not'' a nice place to live, not anymore. It is a dog eat dog ruin where tribals, cannibals and survivalists battle it out for their very lives against the hostile wasteland (and each other), Hoover Dam is all but spent, New Vegas is nothing more than a ruin infected with the same Cloud that plagued the Sierra Madre and the NCR's remaining outposts in the region are shooting just about everyone on sight. But instead of someone like the Courier, the player is nothing more than just another survivor lucky to be alive. All you could do is find a way out, alive...[[NintendoHard if you can]].

Set 20 years after the events of the game, the Mojave is definitely ''not'' a nice place to live, not anymore. It is a dog eat dog ruin where tribals, cannibals and survivalists battle it out for their very lives against the hostile wasteland (and each other), Hoover Dam is all but spent, New Vegas is nothing more than a ruin infected with the same Cloud that plagued the Sierra Madre and the NCR's remaining outposts in the region are shooting just about everyone on sight. But instead of someone like the Courier, the player is nothing more than just another survivor lucky to be alive. All you could do is find a way out, alive...[[NintendoHard if you can]].

* ActionSurvivor: Unlike in the game itself, you're not a badass like the Courier, but just another survivor trying to get out in one piece.
* CrapsackWorld: The Mojave Wasteland has ''definitely'' become this over the 20-year TimeSkip. Outside of the handful of NCR outposts and garrisons, there's next to no order or civilization left, the landscape now a twisted mix of the Capital Wasteland and the Divide.
* DarkerAndEdgier: The mod in a nutshell, which makes even ''Lonesome Road'''s Divide seem more preferable.
* EverythingTryingToKillYou: If dealing with tribals, cannibals and other fellow survivors aren't enough, the Tunnelers from ''Lonesome Road'' and a new generation of Ghost People in the Cloud-infested New Vegas ruins [[OhCrap are also in town]]. Don't expect help from the NCR however, as its remaining forces in the region are more likely to shoot you on sight too.
* GenreShift: ''DUST'' turns ''New Vegas'' into a survival simulator more akin to ''DayZ''. [[WordOfGod The mod's creator]] admits as well that this was made because of how the Mojave seemed too ''tame''.
* HappyEndingOverride: A certain sort of "happy ending" at least. What backstory the player can uncover implies that the mod takes place following an NCR victory in Hoover Dam that in turn led to the Mojave becoming integrated with the NCR. Things don't exactly turn out as was hoped.
* NintendoHard: The mod's merciless, relentless and oppressive atmosphere extends to the gameplay. Dying also forces you to restart the game with a new survivor.
