When I started the quest for Redrix’s I was a moderate crucible player that relied on the same loadout of weapons and tactics. After what seems like 1000 matches later I seem to have a better understanding of crucible gameplay. My stats may not show it but I feel like a more competent crucible guardian.
I’ve barely to never played comp before. Now it’s becoming my game mode of choice. I want to test myself against possibly some of the best D2 has to offer. Even if that means I get killed a lot, I’m still absorbing from seeing how these great players operate.
I never used hand cannons or side arms in crucible and now I’m decent at them. Same thing for different styles of play. Before this quest I would rush in and attack blindly and now I realize stupidly. Not that doing that is bad but I have learned how to play a more deliberate and careful game.
I don’t even get mad at people leaving mid match now. That just requires me to adjust even more. Which I realize is crucible in a nutshell...adaptability.
So with all that being said, if you’re not very good at pvp give one of these quest a go. You’ll be surprised how much better you’ll become at it.

I really like this post. Playing competitive absolutely will make you rethink on how you play PvP. Gotta play smarter, faster and really understand the mechanics of PvP and the maps. My only frustration is playing competitive right now, going for Luna Howl. I primarily play PvP and I’m a mediocre player that solos a lot, it’s frustrating when I get a whole team of not so good PvP players. Especially since the last part is requiring the glory status to get Fabled. It’s tough when you get matched against all really good players or 2-4 stacked teams. So losing points because of consistently getting stuck with not so good players is a little frustrating and especially when they leave before the game starts. Otherwise, great post! Really like your thoughts and positive thought.
