Because you need praetorians foil, Thunder lord, fang of Ir yut

first off, props for actually speaking up asking for help unlike most. :) the best advice i could give for someone trying to get better would be to pay attention to your radar. its basically the guy fighting next to you, get to know it and itll be your best friend(im assuming you know how to read it already). next is playing conservatively. this means hang back, watch your radar, and wait for the enemy to come to you. stay close to teammates the best you can. theyll be bullet magnets as well as extra firepower. remember this game is a team effort, two guys throwing paper bullets against one man with any gun and the two will win. next is dont be an idiot. this may seem like common sense but its a reason to be pissed off at teammates for. basically keep aware and dont be afraid to run. if you see two guys round a corner and youre alone, gtfo. its simple, play to your advantage. if youre playing skirmish or any snall team ganetype stay with your group. dont be leroy jenkins charging in paying no attention to your team. get to know the maps and learn to defend choke points in a way that suits you. if your teammate is watching one hallway then watch another that you think an enemy will come from. alot of fights are decided before they start. learn spawns and take note of where everyone is. if you can predict where an enemy will spawn then mix in their strategy, theyll literally walk right into your sights. thats the basics of cruciable. if you still need help then feel free to shoot me a message and ill be glad to help. good luck gaurdian.

Alright. I am no pro here. I've played the crucible for quite a while now and I'll give us some tips I picked up. 1. Don't use blink. As fun as it is and as powerful as you think it is, if your not experience with it, don't use it. It'll leave you more confuse then your enemies. Once you get the hang of the crucible, try going on patrol or some area in PVE with blink, play around and you'll eventually get use to it and know how to control it. 2. Watch. The. Radar. Okay, here's a funny little story, when I first started playing, I didn't know what the radar was. Well I did but I just didn't use it. USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE!! Remember, if there on the outer ring, there getting close to you. If it's filled in one segment of your radar, there close. And if it's in the center, there right next to you. Also remember, solid red means there on the same elevation as you. Semi- red means here on a different elevation (like down stairs or up stairs or down the hill or up the hill) 3. Stick with teammates as much as possible. You watch there back and they watch yours. It's nice to have some buddies to go to the crucible with you because you can communicate. 4. Heavy ammo control. Heavy weapons here can change the game. Personally, I will always choose machine gun over rockets in the crucible, rockets might get you 2-3 kills but machine guns can get you far more. I also prefer high impact low fire rate machine guns. Like "against all odds". Honestly the best crucible machine gun there is. 4 shots and your out. Heavy spawns at around the 9 minute mark and he 6 minute mark. That could change depending on how long the heavy ammo sits there without people picking it up. 5. Use correct weapons. Don't try to shoot a hand cannon across the map. Don't try to shoot your auto rifle when your enemy is i front of your face. Use the right weapons. Auto rifles are good for mid range. Scouts are good for long range. Your secondary also comes into play here, shotguns are great for short range. Use those to your advantage. 6. Don't hug onto your secondary the whole game. Shotguns are a defensive weapon. Don't run around killing people with it. If they come to you, use your shotgun. But [i]you[/i] don't run up to them with one. Also, don't hug onto fusion rifles the whole game. Not only is this considered a really cheap way to get kills, it's not really fun for really anyone and it ruins the experience for us all. 7. Take cover. If your taking some type of damage, something is watching. Even if it's a tick of damage and you manage to move out of the way, there still there and watching. Take cover and be careful. Crouching will make you blink on the radar every 5 seconds. So basically, if an enemy is walking up to you, it will show a solid red. But if your crouch, it will block solid red every 5 seconds. 8. Get team objectives. If killing isn't your thing in the crucible, helping the team will always help. Not only does it help your team, it also gets your score up! 9. Relax and focus. Don't stress over it too hard and don't take it too lightly. You want to sit back and relax, but have your mind focus so you can stay sharp in the crucible. 10. Be stealthy. No matter what class you are, stay stealthy. Don't stand in the open for too long. This sounds pretty obvious but I can't tell you how many times I've seen people just casually standing around in the middle of no where waiting to be spotted. Imagine it as hide and seek. Don't stand in the opening thinking which way to go, run! Run to a wall, crouch near a wall, walking around slowly and keep an eye on the radar! Again, I'm no pro here, but here are 10 tips that I have for you :)

Recovery is the most important stat. I could be wrong though.

1. Head shots are King. ALWAYS go for head shots when in midrange engagements. It seems obvious, but trust me it helps. This isn't like you're average CoD where whoever get's the first shot in wins. Most of your gunfights boil down to who is getting head shots. 2. Make sure you take the right PvP weapons with you. Basically, you'll need a decent impact high stability auto rifle. Up For Anything, Vanquisher VIII, and Do Gooder V are great examples. ([b]Edit: With the next update, other weapons will become a little bit more viable)[/b] 3. Learn what things to watch out for when playing against certain classes. Titans with shoulder charge are a pain but way easy to counter. If you know they're coming you can jump and dodge the charge while readying your gun, or simpy get to high ground. [b]Listen for the noise that indicates a hunter's super has been activated.[/b] It is extremely distinctive an has saved my life multiple times. Your best option when you hear a hunter activating their super is to run away and cut your losses. Warlocks, surprisingly, seem to be best engaged at medium to long ranges, as their melees activate shields and has an extreme long range. 4. Never quit. I'm not going to start some inspirational speech here, but you really just need to play this game's PvP for a while until you get used to the ropes of the new system, especially since your last shooter was Marathon. Edit: Had some grammatical issues that I cleared.
