Alright guardians. Let's help each other survive the darkness with a collection of tips and tricks. I'll start. [b]General[/b] 1. Did you know that there is a peek mechanic? That's right, go behind some waist high cover and hit the aim button, and you will peek over! 2. Resources. Get them. You will thank me later once you start upgrading your legendaries and exotics. 3. There are different types of shields (on enemies). The color tells you what type of damage you want to use against it. Orange is fire. Blue is arc, Purple is void. When doing higher level activities like nightfalls, you will notice using the correct type of damage will make your life much MUCH easier. [b]Fallen[/b] 1. Weakpoint, the head. 2. Do not underestimate Shanks. They will tear you apart. 3. Devil Walkers, shoot the legs. Dear god shoot the legs. Once a leg takes enough damage it will be destroyed, causing the walker to fall down. This will expose it's core which you then want to shoot for massive damage. 4. You can shoot the cannons on the Fallen ships! This will just make your life a tad easier during things like public events. [b]Hive[/b] 1. Weakpoint is the head (surprising I know). 2. Do not, I repeat, do NOT underestimate thralls. If they surround you, you are in trouble. 3. Knights are mean. Knights with boomers aren't too much trouble, but the ones with swords... turn tail and run. They will mess you up fast. Get to higher ground and kill them from above. 4. Speaking of Knights, their magical little black shields of evilness. Toss a grenade behind the shield, flank them, usual tactics to get someone hiding behind cover. 5. Take Wizards out, as soon as possible. They start flinging their balls of light at you, you better run. [b]Vex[/b] 1. Their weakpoints are usually where their center of mass would be. Goblins and hobgoblins the spot is their stomach. Harpies and Hydras it is their center eye. Minotaurs... no idea. Haven't found one yet. 2. When a Hobgoblin takes damage it will surround itself with a flame shield... thing. Do not waste your ammo firing at it. It is invulnerable. Wait for it to get back up. 3. When you shoot the head off of a Goblin, it will enter an enraged state. Meaning it will come for your blood. A bunch of enraged Goblins can mess you up. So always aim for their stomach, not head. [b]Cabal[/b] 1. Weakpoint is their head, which is very satisfying to hit as their helmet pops off and spews oil everywhere (just pretend it is blood, it will make you feel better). 2. Phalanx...es, well Phalanx soldiers are a pain. Shoot their hands to stun them and make them drop their shields for a second. Use that opportunity to bust a cap in their... face. 3. Psions can be dangerous up close. While they may be weak, they can do some damage. Be wary. These are just some of the basics. Will add more when I get the chance.
