I switched my jump button to r3 click, and I rock an Icarus hand cannon. Amazing how many more fun fights I win.

*insert obligatory "git gud" followed by my own kd getting ridiculed* Aaand action!

Find another game . Don't get hooked on this shitty addiction. Seriously crack is way more fun

Shoot a real gun once.

Focus on staying alive. Don't challenge when you're weak. Use meta weapons.

a lot of others have left you some good advice. My two cents; practice killing fallen/headshots, especially if you want to be able to snipe better always find others on your team and stand behind them, that way they'll get hit first and may weaken the attacker for an easier kill by you, in other words practice team shooting try and hold an area and get comfortable with it's surroundings this will help with learning map awareness, but if your team is moving, move with them don't get caught alone. This being said don't make the same runs into battle. Use different paths and if your not comfortable, stay and let them come to you. easier seeing someone look around a corner then you sticking your head out just to die. never pop your super out in the open. the allows the animation to happen without getting scoped one shot dead and you lost your super. use special ammo and heavy crates as bait, unless your team picks it up use grenades as often as possible and if it's sticky like tripmine or lightning throw them behind your attacker or around corners but always on the sidewalls on the arena, certain maps on the ceiling (unsuspected)

Most of these "pieces of advice" are just complaints about the game. Ignore them. Here are some core things you need to pay attention to. I have been in top 1% in Rumble for example so I know what I'm talking about even though I haven't played very much lately. [b]Know your surroundings (i.e. the maps) and know how to read the radar[/b] Being aware what is happening around you is the first step to getting better at the game. Trust me. Learn the maps, pay attention to sightlines in particular. And learn how to properly read the radar, it's your best friend! (And get the Gheleon artifact!) [b]Know when and how to react[/b] If you are overwhelmed, running is always a good option even in 2v1 scenario. In case you need/want to challenge, MANAGE YOUR SIGHTLINES! This point cannot be stressed enough. To do this, you must know your surroundings, obviously. [b]Develop good habits and try to get rid of the bad ones[/b] This must be done consciosly in every match if you want to improve. Here are some good habits and bad habits that came to my mind: - Slide or jump/glide through door ways. This takes away some of the advantage the enemy watching the lane has. If you just run through a doorway, you'll probably get a sniper bullet to your head. - Run and hide when you are wounded, never challenge without full health unless you absolutely must. - Try to stay near you teammates. Don't run on your own on the other side of the map trying to be a MLG star. - When you are up close to an enemy with their shield down, use your melee! Don't keep shooting because it is slower way to kill and you can potentially miss your bullets. [b]The last and the least, your loadout[/b] I'll break this one down quick: use whatever you're the most comfortable with. Nonetheless the meta weapons can be used to achieve the best result AFTER you have mastered all the things mentioned above. Eyasluna, The Palindrome, Hawksaw, MIDA, The Distant Star and such are the best weapons if you have the right rolls. Some are better on smaller maps, some are better on bigger maps. Just like special weapons. Sidearms, shotguns, snipers and fusions all have very viable weapons, like The Wormwood, Matador, 1000 Yard Stare and Praetorian Foil. The easiest way to gain edge when it comes to loadout is simple: Titan. Sunbreaker is ridiculously good and easy to use and Striker is just simply OP. Every subclass has their strenghts and weaknesses though (well...except Striker) so again, play what you are the most comfortable with! Hope this helps, fellow guardian!

Use Stormcaller. Equip Ram or Claws. Profit.

Git Gud Scub

Got gud

Sounds weird but youtube nkutch,true vanguard,blessius,mr fruit for example.and take a little from each of their playstyles.also these guys have fun while their playing instead of complaining about how they died...they adapt.ive done this myself and improved.one of my last crucibles was a 11.5 killrate with 23 kills and i had fun.so many that play this game forget its for fun i have had some salty games but instead of complaining i adapt.have fun
