What type of destiny PVPer are you? To find out, I've broken down what I think are the most common PVP playstyles at the moment. This is just so the community can see what best to expect in the crucible!
Here are my descriptions of each playstyle:
[u]The Noob[/u]
You are quite new and unfamiliar to the crucible, you use the weapons you scavenged from your travels and decided to check out the PvP side of destiny. You don't usually win games, but every match is a learning experience, preparing yourself for the journey ahead. [i]Also affiliated with the "casul" players, they tend to get a lot of hate from the rest of the community. Frequently crying in the corner after being told to "git gud scrub" they fall victim to the arseholes of the community. [/i]
[u]The Camper[/u]
Packing a Patience and Time and a scout rifle, you sit at the back of the map, awaiting your prey to line themselves into your sights. Unsure of how to use the left thumbstick, you net the lowest kills but highest K/D, feeling pleasure as your victims enact their rage through hate-mail.
[u]The Handcannon[/u]
He who aims shall prevail, you have taken an affinity to the Handcannon, gracing the battlefield with your finese and slight of hand. Making every shot count and watching heads role you frequent the battlefield with the Thorn, Last Word or Hawkmoon, pummelling your enemies with an onslaught of unfair advantages.
[u]The Shotgun[/u]
Having discovered the high-calibre power of the Shotgun, you have cast aside any notion of a primary weapon. You sprint the battlefield, boomstick in hand looking for unsuspecting targets to obliterate with a single shot. [i]Master of the close quarters, the shotgun is sometimes hung up and replaced with a fusion rifle, extending the one-shot party across range.[/i]
[u]The Rambo[/u]
Machine gun in hand, you scream "Prevail or DIE!" as you sprint into unyielding groups of enemies to eradicate them seconds later. You rush without thought for anything but the mission and typically use Auto or Pulse Rifles paired with Heavy Machineguns to eliminate any trace of your adversaries.
[u]The Ninja[/u]
Using stealth as an art form, you take down foes with an unyielding finese. Striking without being seen you don invisibility and a tool of your choice to eradicate an unsuspecting guardian. You move when you see a chance, attack seen yet unseen and destroy the enemy forces before they have time to react. [i]Using your unholy amount of map knowledge, you can lock down areas and turn the tide of spawns at your will. Causing the enemies to move where you want them to, funneling them into their demise.[/i]
[u]The "Pro"[/u]
You use tactical thinking and battle strategy to completely destroy your foes without them even standing a chance. You choose the best weapon for the situation, adapting where necessary and following the plan to the letter. You are the person who goes flawless without exploiting the game, and are best suited to championships. [i]Also affiliated with lesser players wishing to feel good about themselves, the pro is often a guise of the skillless and a cloak to hide their shame.[/i]
So which type of PvPer are you? If you feel you are a mix, post the one you have the most affinity to and reply with your combination!
If I had to say what type of PvPer I was, I'd say I was a Handcannon/Pro combination. But I'd lean more towards handcannon!
Edit: seems like I should have added a Jack of all Trades choice! Post down below if you feel this way!
Edit: done some more tweaking to some of the descriptions! All in [i]Italics[/i]
Edit: its nice to see that there aren't that many people who would consider themselves a "camper" :D either the community is lying or we have finally moved on from the CoD dark ages :P
Edit: well we made it to 200 replies, I've officially won the Internet and beaten my previous best for amount of replies by about 198, so thanks alot guys! :D
Edit: I've finally finished my second poll, so tell me; what type of raider are you?!

1 ReplyI'm a noob and not afraid to admit I only played PvP back when my friends actually played and I sucked then too. Just the past few days I've been trying it out again and am realizing how much I like the Hunter more than my main for PVE Warlock.

3 RepliesEdited by Unforgiven: 4/7/2015 3:28:34 AMis it true most people now use Thorn, Hawkmoon, TLW or Red Death in Primary. Felwinters Lie, Found Verdict or Comparable shotgun Secondary Heavy Machine gun such as Against All Odds, Corrective Measure or Deviant Gravity, anything that has a medium to high impact. Is this what PVP is now? Just curious. I am about to go back into it. And trying to decide on load out.
-
I don't really fit into any categories... My personal playstyle is more of a "Joy in Motion" thing, as I can use almost any weapon effectively. I surprise people not by stealth but by speed. I guess I would be a Ninja/Pro?
-
I am a Rambo/Pro I play extremely aggressively, but I make a plan while swamping the team. I have a large gap between my good and bad days, which is my excuse for my K/D. I think I have fallen in love with Defender today, changing from my usual Striker. I've been rocking a 3.0+ K/D for my past few games, and my loadout changes based on the map.
-
The Pro. I hate using shotguns.
-
The non existent kind.....
-
The GOD.
-
Pro. Swap between a pulse rifle or hand cannon primary based on map. Shotgun generally at my side for those who care to rush me, although I do enjoy a good fusion rifle, or my Praedyth's if necessary. Heavy I love me an MG, but I more often find myself with a launcher in hand, proximity detonation perk ready to go.
-
I destroy with the devil you know. It's really odd, no one else I know (see what I did there) can use it effectively in crucible.
-
The one that needs to do exotic bounties
-
Where is Le Lag?
-
jack of all and master of none. I do what is needed when is needed so secure a kill even if it not the direction or manner of what my other teammates want. For their will is not my own. I am the ninja camper. You only see me before you die and then not again until you die to me yet once more as you came back for me to find me not there anymore. but instead watching for your foolish return.
-
I suppose I'd be a camper who doesn't camp much. Sure, I've got my spots I like to frequent but I like to move around and take people out with my scouts, snipers and the occasional shotgun if were packed in tight.
-
I fit into none of these categories... I'm...average...
-
Where's the "Jack of All Trades" selection, where you're proficient at almost anything but the master of none? That's how I'd best describe me.

Sniper
