Depleted Hand Cannon Bounty 2 *Feels Almost* Impossible
[edit2]
Guys seriously. I posted this first week the game came out. This thread is full of a variety of different strategies as well as people trolling about how awesome they are and there are STILL people replying to this several times a week. If you can completely it easy, that is fine (no one likes a braggart), the game has been out long enough that anyone should have a way to do it now that works for them.
I have had to turn off my Companion App notifications because this thread just won't die...after like 4 months!!
[edit]
After having to completely rethink my strategy and play-style for the crucible - filling out my titan's void subclass, learning how to shoot a fusion rifle and predict player movement, not going on the offensive, and finding the best place on each map to camp (ideally near heavy ammo) and just shoot those that come near - I no longer feel this is impossible as I have managed to get past 300/500. You still have these losing streaks where you can simply not touch other players, but it does go up....slowly. For anyone that claims this is easy, please elaborate how you did so, ie game mode, guns, class, strategy. Its one thing to claim its easy, but it is also good to share your strategy for those who don't do much of the pvp.

I was so exited to get an exotic weapon bounty the other day, which has so far required me to beat the Moon raid boss and kill 500 hive on the moon, however the second bounty you have to do for this is impossible. It requires 500 points worth of kills using void damage in the crucible, which is okay given each kill is worth 5 but every time you die you lose 2 points. So unless you are an insanely good player that can somehow compete with auto rifles and headshot experts you cant complete it. I spent hours trying to do it and managed to get up to about 50 points (mainly due to being matched up with players more around my skill level) and then just lose them all again over the course of 2 matches where the other players were either significantly better than me or simply had faster guns. There should be a mode where you can only use special and heavy weapons as these can simply not compete with primary weapons in terms of speed, or an alternate non-crucible method of completing the bounty.

I'm terrible at PVP but with a little luck I was able to get this portion of the bounty done in a few days with one monster session of several hours on the last day. So yes, being terrible it will take some time. But it can be done. If you're k/d ratio is near .8 you'll always make gains, however slowly. My loadout: Titan Defender with a void shotgun and void heavy machine gun. Primary hand cannon. Strategy: I don't aim well against other players. Lag, their evasive maneuvers, my poor control of the thumb sticks. So I decided not to run everywhere. I mostly walked or crept around the maps. No sprinting just for the hell of it. This allowed me to be very deliberate and mostly keep my eyes on the radar. When you see that thing light up, get yourself in position to ambush someone with your shotty or stick them with your void grenade. Use corners and tight corridors to your advantage. Obviously when you can get your hands on heavy ammo you can light people up with the machine gun. The PVP game type that worked best for me was Control. Control gives you specific areas of contention on the map, so you know where everyone will be. With a little repetition you'll learn the usual approaches that everyone takes. You'll learn where the "hot spots" are on every map and how to exploit that. It also helps to stick with your team as much as possible. Since you won't have a ranged weapon to lead off with, let them break trail for you. Let the enemy get distracted by them then you rush in to finish them off. It sucks that you're stealing kills from hard working teammates but hey...do you want the bounty over with or not? Lastly, when in doubt use your primary. A non-void kill to stay alive is better than a death. If it's an open area of the map, or you aren't sure what's around that corner and you feel more comfortable with another weapon in your hand, make the switch.
