Tips for Trials

This is all coming from a console player who has been playing trials since destiny 1. I started off being really bad, to the point where I genuinely could not get kills in PvP, but improved over time by playing. Here are some tips I recommend if you are struggling with trials and genuinely want to get better. 1: Don’t leave games when you go down a few rounds. Trials can be annoying, and can seem unfair, but doing this can stop you from getting wins that you could have gotten. The amount of games that I’ve gone down a round or two and my teammate has left, is very high, and even then sometimes we still win the 2v3. Losing a few rounds right away could be a fluke, don’t make the mistake of thinking that means you cannot win. 2: Put on proper loadouts, everyone else is going to be using the best of the best loadouts, and if you need it, you should too. Going into trials with whatever weapons you like is not helping you. 3: Keep an eye on your teammates and where they are. Move with them, play with them, team shot with them. 4: You do not always need to play the zone, sometimes getting a kill and getting a better position is better. Don’t be afraid to wait and then push in when the zone is getting ready to spawn. 5: If something doesn’t work, wether that be peeking a certain lane, using a certain weapon, or whatever else it might be, try switching things up. 6: Getting a kill is not always the most important thing to do, play your life. Don’t run into the enemy teams area and go for a trade. A kill is nice, but not when we go down a teammate and the enemy can revive. 7: Adept loot really isn’t that much better than regular weapons. If you really don’t like the gamemode, don’t play it, it isn’t worth it. 8: Trials is not the type of gamemode you go into to learn and try new weapons. You are not doing yourselves any favours by practicing in trials. Feel free to add some more in the replies if you think i missed any. I will probably add more when I think of them.

  • I dont play trials, but here are a few common sense tips that would help. Avoid tilt. Try to mentally reset each round, and approach it with the same intensity that you would the first round. Whether you are up or down in the game. Dont "yell" at teammates. If you are losing, they are too. Think what you can do better to work with them rather than what they are doing wrong. Play your life, and help keep your teammates alive. If a teammate goes down, often the enemy will have a mental edge and collapse on the remaining players. Avoid playing alone, good teams will recognize that one player is separated, and isolate them further and get an easy pick. Provide aggro/covering fire. Standing far behind your teammates, without engaging turns a 3v3 into a 2v3 despite you being there. If you are not engaging at all in the battle until after 2 teammates are dead, then you are not contributing to chip damage that can make a difference. Think about the weak side of the positioning. Forward players will have their eyes focused on what is in front of them, and are less able to cover their side. Watch their side angles and protect that weak side while they rotate. If your team gets an early pick, rotate to protect the res. This is often more important than the zone if it is early in the round. If your team is already capping the zone, then try to cover the res but dont leave the teammate stranded on the zone to do so. The enemy will either need to play the zone or the res, and if its 3v2, its actually 2v2 with one player on the zone. Only one player needs to be ON the zone, the other two should cover the angles of approach to the zone rather than stand on it with them. One good grenade could wipe the zone out.
