1 ReplyEdited by Golden: 4/4/2020 8:23:49 AMI love this map so far. Very fast paced matches and quickly can change in the matter of seconds. Very shotgun friendly but has good lanes for snipes and longer range weapons. I personally ran a sniper while my 2 friends ran shotties, they mostly relied on me to get a pick so they could collapse on the two while me covering the long lane and hopefully getting another pick when they rushed. Main Tip, control mid as fast as you can, most fights go down there, unless you face a garbage campy team, then theres plenty of areas to flank.

1 ReplyIt’s built for D1, and performs terribly in D2. Not quite as bad as bannerfall or twilight gap, but still bad. Almost worse than anomaly and exodus blue.

Warlocks spamming arc web, hunters spamming skip grenades and titans doing what they do best lmao it's been weirdly fun for some reason tho

2 Replies3 hunters. Hard light spam. And double skips lol

4 RepliesWhat you should expect is from the following: Not being able to get 1 Win. Love trials, but wow, it's hard this week.

I’ve enjoyed it this week to be honest. Snipers, shotguns and fusions all have a place.

Edited by DiZ: 4/4/2020 2:25:26 PMThe map can be very Shotgun heavy in the middle area and around every doorway. Holding middle is very important, but it's not the sole deciding factor in who wins or loses except maybe on Heavy round(s). The rounds, and in turn, the matches, can be over very quickly compared to something like Widow's Court(for most teams anyways), but sometimes teams stagnate just holding a doorway waiting to get a pick. It's good not to get too impatient when this happens. A few paragraphs of recommendations for this map down below: [spoiler]If you spawn near the green side(AKA "Bones"), I recommend heading directly to mid through the door right in front of you at the start if the round. Do not jump over the stairs above you that lead to the upper door and small bridge, nor the shortcut beneath it, as they're easy trade spots(they can work though). Instead, either head almost all the way up the stairs to your right, or stay in the doorway and shoot at the people jumping over and get easy kills on them(the latter spot also works for the opposite spawn). When spawning on the orange/gold side, either head right and have your whole team bumrush the bottom doorway into mid(especially if you have multiple Shotgunners), or head straight up the stairs and hold the other door leading into mid from that side. You can have a person open the door if the other team doesn't, while you have people positioned on either the small structure in the middle of that area, or at the far back of the room playing range. I sincerely do not recommend playing in Bones if the other team's holding middle before you. Though if you head there at the start of a round, then that's probably why the other team got to middle first.[/spoiler]

Edited by THA_3rd_GUY: 4/4/2020 2:28:34 AMI'm just annoyed that every map used in Trials so far was brought over from D1. The Anomaly, Widow's Court, and Cauldron were all in D1 while Burnout is a reskined Burning Shrine. It's so pathetic just how desperate Bungie is to recreate Trials from D1 that they aren't only reusing guns and armor, they're also reusing maps. Just overhaul the entire game of D1 over to D2 already. Stop drip feeding us the content and having it clash with the new content.

In my experience DO NOT HOLD DOWN MIDDLE AREA! Its was too easy to flank because there are so many doors to shoot from. Its better to stay on the outer edge and set up there. Get a pick and then push in if you have body advantage.,

2 RepliesEvery team camps the middle area, 3 peeks every door and spams gemini. Just as bad as widows court but maybe worse due to lower population so 9/10 games is an absolute sweatfest. Trials is dead.
-
3 stacks of hunters with gemini jesters.

Its shotgun city, just like anomaly, except I'm getting farmed hard like I did on widows court lol.

Control middle!!!!!!!
