10 PvP Tips for beginners.

1. No matter how much you like COD, Destiny is not run and gun. 2. Use your radar. It is your best friend. 3. Play with friends, since there is no open communication in matchmaking... you will miss out on call outs and fun times screaming at each other because you just got blade danced on twice in a row! 4. Learn to aim at the face accurately. Doing body damage is a joke conpared to consecutive headshots from any weapon. 5. Rockets are great but the real damage is done with the MGs. 6. When heavy ammo is available, you snag it as fast as possible. Keeping it out of your opponents hand is key. 7. Strategize your attacks. Just running out in the open all the time will get you mowed down by experienced players, pick the fights you know you can win. 8. If you suspect someone is around the corner camping with a shotty... they probably are. 9. Do not waste supers on just one person... time your special for maximum effectiveness. 10. Control zones, this is not camping. This is effectively controlling a strongpoint on the map where the enemy has to come to you, but you have the advantage.

  • What pisses me off is when -blam!- use the Thorn & corner camp, because they know you're going to burn out from the after effects of the Thorn! Every now and then someone MIGHT get me with the shotgun, but not too often because I bait alot of people with my Light/Beware fusion rifle (best fusion rifle for crucible, yes it's better than the Vex).

    • #6 is either wrong or you haven't explained it properly... Sure stopping the other team is important but you don't just instantly take the heavy you're next too if 3 of your team mates are heading towards you and you're safe... Don't be the dick that everybody hates!

    • #9 isn't really needed. If you hold your super you risk holding it for too long, which means you won't have as many supercharges as you can throughout the match.

      • A lot of this is purely opinion, as to me, there is plenty of room for run and gun (especially now that everyone is toting shotguns + bladedancing), I've yet to see anyone consistently rock a MG in any game thus far. Rockets are definitely > MG, as the range means you're easily blasted by a shotgun or auto rifle while you empty an erratic clip, as opposed to downing a team huddled together with 1 good rocket. Camping, however, i've never cared about. It's situational, and you die from a "camper", especially repeatedly, you have only yourself to blame.

        • Great tips. I personally have a hard time in PvP but I average around 1.0 KDR. Crucible has become a shotgun war, and it gets very annoying for those who suck with a shot gun... :(

              • I agree with most of them except number 5, I think rockets are better than Mg's for instant burst damage as a super can kill you before you can finish a player while most rockets are 1HK

                      Have a terrible connection. You will eat bullets, take no damage, and move oddly across peoples screens. You will still be shown alive when you do die so people will waste their attention shooting you when your not their and your teammates can kill them.

                    • A rocket with proximity detonation is going to give more consistent results than a machine gun. MGs are fine if the enemy team doesn't get heavy, otherwise you can expect a rocket in your face before you land a kill.

                      • SAVE THE HEAVY AMMO UNTIL YOUR TEAMMATES GET THERE! Unless you see an enemy on the radar near you then grab it and kill them.

                        11. You see a vehicle, you use the vehicle. It is your fault you chose to not use the Pike or Interceptor that is sitting there on the map, only to let the enemy team take it and turn your body into ashes. 12. Maps that have vehicles also let you use your Sparrow bike to get around the map faster. 13. Bring a Shotty, a Fusion Rifle and a Sniper Rifle. Learn the names of the maps. Swap between the three that you feel you will need the most before the game actually begins. 14. Control is a game of Capture and DEFEND control points to boost your score when you get a kill. You can gain a big advantage defending the zones. All you need is two to really win. 15. The radar picks up enemies more frequently when they are moving. So do theirs. If you are going to defend, crouch and stay still. 16. Almost all places have at least 2 ways in and out. Flanking the enemy can easily get you a lot of kills as they can focus on one person most of the time. 17. If you are going to the crucible expecting loot, you're going to have a bad time. Loot distrubuted here is currently random. However, the better you do, and the more crucible bounties you do, the more marks and rep you'll get to purchase legendary gear. 18. Don't pay attention to the big numbers on armor and weapons. They don't mean anything in the Crucible. For weapons, look at the bars instead to determine if a weapon is good for you or not. Ex: Impact will cause your opponent's crosshair to move off target when struck or determine how far an opponent gets blasted when surviving a rocket. Velocity determines how fast your rockets will travel. For armor, use the stats(Strength, Intellect and Discipline) to determine what you want. You can hover over the stats on your character to determine what does what for you. 19) If losing, just try to be the best in your team(or overall players in the match if you can). Trying to go in and win everytime is harder since that requires teamwork. However, you are responsible for your overall score and that can get you reps and marks. 20) Bring bounties with you and finish them. They'll level you and your equipment up and make the grind much shorter so you can start grabbing loot.

                          One exception to #9 that I've found is when you have Heavy ammo. If you have a substantial amount of Heavy ammo, say 100 HMG rounds, it's worth using your Super to kill that one guy that surprised you rather than dying, because dying wipes your Heavy ammo... and even drops it for the person that killed you to use against your team. By surviving, you can pick up several kills with your Heavy weapon that you wouldn't have been able to get otherwise and prevent multiple deaths on your team. Likewise, if an enemy just grabbed Heavy ammo before me and is aiming his Heavy weapon at me, I also Super them if my only other option is to die. Doing so prevents them from killing my team with his Heavy ammo, gets a kill (obviously) and drops their Heavy ammo for me to pick up and net some free kills. Basically, there are some scenarios where using your Super to kill one guy can preserve/create momentum to get as many, or more, kills than if you saved it for two or three guys.
