Tricks and Tips: Help a Guardian out. (Even veterans may learn something).

Firstly, please don't post anything negative or unhelpful. Don't be THAT guy. I gave a tip on another thread and it was pointed out that A) many people didn't know about it and B) this forum needs to be more helpful. Here's my tip: [b]Put field scout on your Thunderlord and reload so you have 60 rounds in the mag. Now change its perks to be more stable. You'll still have 60 rounds but you'll have more stability. Great for more Crits and higher DPS. This works for any gun but best with Thunderlord[/b] If you have a tip that you think that not many people know about, post it in [b]bold[/b] for everyone to see and be enlightened. Happy hunting Guardians. Edit: I would like to commend all posters. Not only have I learned things that I never knew (and I've been playing since Alpha) but this post proves that the forums aren't full of douches. Many thanks. Edit 2: There are some amazing tips on this thread. [b]Keep scrolling down and read, I'm sure there will be something that you didn't know.[/b] Please read before you post so that tips aren't repeated over and over. Many thanks. Edit 3: [b][u]This thread has been so invaluable to so many that I will keep shamelessly bumping it for all to see. Keep adding your tips Guardians.[/u][/b]

  • Much like saving 5000exp bounties to use with a telemetry, daily event (and other) reward packages can be saved at the postmaster, as they also give a bunch of exp (5000 is what I've heard) You can get the second major perk unlocked in one go with a full set of bounties, a postmaster full of daily packages, and a telemetry (I did this and unlocked Wolfpack rounds in one go)

  • When crouched behind cover, aim (left trigger) to pop up, then release to crouch again.

        • [b]The exotic perk for glasshouse applies to the titan who popped the bubble AND his teammates[/b] I only put this up because people argue with me over this. If I have to go find the video again I will, but I'm right.

        • When a guardian's super is charged, their name will have a yellow outline that pulses. Useful for knowing if that that guy running towards you has his super charged. When playing control, you typically only want to capture two points and every map has two that are better, look them up.

        • Try to get the gatekeeper cp from a friend or from lfg. Can be hard or normal. Pop a blue polyphage and kill all the hobs. I recommend Titan with fist of havoc, as it worked best for me. Also I recommend using shotguns. I use universal remote and swordbreaker combo. You can next over 600 glimmer every 30 seconds if kill all the hobs. Plus countless axiomatic beads which you can turn in, or save in your inventory for emergency(typically iron banner for me). Best way to harvest glimmer in the game. Also use the mission, "the dark beyond" just before "WE'VE WOKEN THE HIVE" for as many bounties as possible. Kill all acolytes and thrall but NOT THE KNIGHT. If you kill the knight, it will save your progress further than you want to be and you have to reset the mission. You can do countless bounties at this juncture of the game. Lastly if you need to kill URZOC use final verdict. One clip and he is done.

            Stand in water and shoot your left foot... You can kill yourself. If play with a team and you die in a crazy place(because you really though fist of havoc would kill phogoth) go to orbit and join back in. Hard mode atheon tip When ported to get relic or in oracle room with3 hobgoblin room dont run down the middle, skirt the outside Hard mode Crota Use a Titan bubble when a non hunter run swords at the circle vent area where crota usually moves to and shoot the boomers. They will shoot the bubble Dragging a level 29? At crota? He can do work. Tell him to go to the outside of the boomer room(same level as the boomers) and shoot the wall. Boomers will shoot the wall too Non hunters sword bearer, the rounded corner before you jump down usually keeps you out of sight of crota... More swings at crota Use all of your characters on a gorgon maze chest for more chances for a gjallerhorn Exclusion zone is an awesome glimmer farm spot. Use supply codes and keep one guy with shield alive that drops from the second ship. Thats all can think of while on the throne... Time to wipe Additions Weapons gained randomly will have different and sometime superior perks to what the vendor sells.

                [b]When Crota enrages in HM, do not stick too close to the shield barrier while you are on the platform outside. Proximity rocket launchers will explode on you since the thralls behind you will trigger it. You can avoid this by firing with the pillar behind your back, or you can just jump.[/b]

                    I've got a few tips, though I'm sure that everyone already knows about them. [b]Cut Them Down:[/b] Edit: Running solo, as everyone knows, Fist of Crota is the ideal mission for this bounty. For [b]team play[/b], travel to Earth's Rocketyards (it is where you first spawn for the Sepiks Prime strike). In the back, there are three clusters of Hive that spawn continuously: three acolytes and a knight, three acolytes, and two acolytes and two knights. When the Blades of Crota begin the ritual, kill the blade, wipe out the three acolytes that spawn with him and the thralls that spawn soon after, and you will have plenty of juice to take out the other 11 Hive that spawn there. Running the Rocketyards with a fireteam allows you to work on more than one bounty at once, like Fallen Leaders (two Vandal majors spawn there), a number of Eris bounties, (Bonebraker, The Unseen) and Patrol Earth, among others. [b]Light in the Dark/Boneshaker/Cut to the Quick:[/b] Warlock/Titan/Hunter Eris bounty, can be completed in the Crota Raid. Another great place for this bounty is the Dark Beyond ("We've awoken the Hive!!!!!"). [b]Dark Beyond:[/b] This location can be farmed for glimmer, super orbs, melee kills, heavy kills, etc. Leave one enemy alive outside of the doors to kill you to rinse and repeat. If Ghost starts talking again, you'll have to go to orbit to restart. [b]Heavy Weapons:[/b] Though everyone has a hard-on for the Gjallarhorn, rockets are not always the best heavies for bosses. Machine Guns can do critical damage that rockets can't, which is something to consider when you're running strikes and Nightfalls. Certain bosses, like the Archon Priest, Phogoth, and Sepiks Prime can all be staggered with critical hits, meaning they cannot fire; these bosses are better suited for the sustained fire of machine guns. [b]A low rate of fire with high impact will net you many more critical hits than a machine gun that sprays[/b]. Other enemies, like Valus T'Arch (sp?), Omnigul, and the Nexus, cannot be "staggered" (they will still fire regardless of critical hits) and are better suited for rockets. Hopefully I helped someone. :/

                      Hard Mode Crota: Confirmed Anywhere else: I assume it works too [b] If you are a Hunter and need health ASAP throw a tripmine on the ground and shoot it with your Red Death, it counts as a kill![/b]

                      • When being teleported to mars in VoG the relic holder can sneak around the wall on the right side and the hobgoblins will group up and won't even turn around usually. One super smash crushes the group. Also, for those who chose to do the bridge cp lefot for crotas raid- [b]throw a grenade at the gatekeepers when you cross the bridge[/b] they will go into a crouch stance bracing for it even though the grenade won't DMG them. This buys you a few seconds to unload a couple hits before they even know what to do. Also if you're protecting the center plate it can get you some much needed extra time.

                      • Most of Eris bounties can be done in fist of crota quiye quickly, 15 hive with blade in one run, lots of thrall for knife, heavy, special bountys, just jump to orbit after killing the 2 knights, also if you have fallen majors bounty, a major drops out of ship at spawn point here.

                      • I know a lot of people don't seem to realize that times vengeance activates inside the portal allowing people outside to start damaging Atheon before the relic holder is out.This makes a ton of difference in damage if people just watch their screen and hit him asap for 30 seconds of damage instead of maybe 15 when waiting for relic to come out and bubble,someone has to watch the supps however.

                        • Need Class Material? [b]Keep your Green and Blue (uncommon & rare, respectively) gear and level it up with bounties you complete, then break it down and you will easily double what you would have received otherwise.

                          • Shooting tripmine grenades with red death procs the healing. You can get an extra light attack in using the sword if you jump slightly when approaching Crota(while he is dropping) You jump do a light attackit pulls you into crota and right as you are hitting him do a heavy, both the light attack and heavy will hit crota in a split second, makes 2 sword kills much easier. If you are too high in the air it does that awkward long animation ground slam, I advise practicing on earth with random mobs

                              If you need hive majors or husks or whatever - go to the cosmodrome for the spot downstairs just left after you spawn patrol. If someone is already doing it, just hang next to the rock where those 3 fallen are hanging out up in the world. From there you get credit for everything the person down there is doing by just sitting there - xp, glimmer, kills, husks - and you don't bother them or spawns. They don't need to know :D

                            • When leveling weapons run all your 2.5k bounties first as they take the most time. Pop your telemetry before turning them in and then run the 5ks since they're usually quick. You get more bang out of the 30 minutes this way.

                              When playing crucible [b]do not take the heavy ammo when people on your team are still close[/b]. All it is is a good way to make the team pissed off at you (if I see you do this, I watch you go into the battle alone and die. I'm not going to get murdered by their heavy abundant team) [b]The only time grabbing heavy for yourself is okay is if there are enemies coming at you.[/b] Even if you get it and die, it's better than the enemy getting heavy ammo.
