A good auto rifle has good stability and range. A good sniper rifle should have a good fire rate. A good fusion rifle should have good charge time and range. A good shotgun should have range and a large magazine. A good machine gun should have good range, stability and impact. A good hand cannon should have good impact and large magazine/ fast reload. A good pulse rifle does not exist. A good scout rifle should have high impact. A good rocket launcher should have good velocity and preferably tracking rockets. Check radar every now and then when sniping. Staying still/ crouching makes you harder to find on radar. Don't shoot from the hip ever except with rocket launchers and shotguns. Save supers for the right moment and don't use them as a panic button. Don't try and take on vehicles on your own. Wait for teammates to gather round before collecting heavy, unless there is an enemy on the radar. Turrets will rip you apart. Always let enemies come to you and don't let yourself be lured into ambushes. Shotguns are the best pvp weapon. Remember to defend your zones in control. And that's it.

Radar.

High Impact weapons and Supers. Let Aim Assist do the heavy lifting.

Open Your Eyes and Not Your Legs.

Firstly, Get yourself a Shingen. They're an all-round excellent AR that are easy to use, good in most situations and very friendly to new players. Learn to use your grenades not just to get kills, but to make sure all gunfights are on your terms. Someone hiding behind a corner? Chuck a grenade to force them out. Someone chasing you when you're low on health? Chuck a grenade and back pedal. Basically, make sure that if you get into a firefight, the odds are stacked in your favour. If they aren't use your grenades to allow you to escape combat and retreat. Pay attention to your tracker. Unless they're crouching, this allows you to known where the enemies are at all times. When you see red on your tracker, picture where exactly they are, and from there, decide whether to engage or not. If not, crouch to avoid the firefight. Time your melee attacks. Just like in Halo, most firefights will end with a melee attack. Don't make the mistake of meleeing too early though. Wait until you have lowered their shield to at least half, then end the firefight with a melee attack. Do it too early and you leave yourself open, which 9/10 times results in a death. After playing for a while, the timing of when to melee will become instinctive. Don't waste your super. Seriously. I try not to ever use them for a one-on-one situation, because it's just overkill. Even if it guarantees you survive, it's still not worth it. Save them for either attacking or defending a capture point and you'll find yourself getting tons of triple kills. Stick to Cover. This is so basic, but the amount of people that just run out in the open is ridiculous. When you're moving around the map, keep yourself in cover. move from Point A to be Point B utilizing every bit of cover you see. There are lanes that leave you exposed to other players as it is, so minimize your exposure as much as possible. Use rockets for their splash damage. Never try and hit someone in the torso with a rocket launcher. Ever. just like in Halo, jump to get the angle and fire at their feet: The splash damage will kill them. If you come up against a rocket launcher, JUMP and HOVER. Stick with your team mates. No matter what, try and keep a team mate around you at all times.

Its ppls playstyle that make all the difference. Super kills or ohk weapons get u only so far Flank, strafe, pre aim, and never follow opponents. Try to get them to make the mistakes 1st After playing pve which is really slow paced with easy to target enemies, pvp feels a bit alien. It takes getting used to but is very strategic and fun if u get the hang of it. Destiny has great gameplay mechanics unused in pve, in pvp they give u the upper hand to outsmart others which many never use cuz they panic in gunfights. Practice in control, not in clash, skirmish, or rumble though. It'll just click eventually

Play against me and you'll feel like a boss!

I dont consider myself a pro or anything but I found the best way to familiarize yourself with maps is to play control or clash. In control try to invade as much as possible. Having to run between objectives helps a lot considering their spread out across the map. In clash, just follow your team mates and watch their backs. If they start shooting in a direction, you'll want to focus your attention that way. If its a 1v1 and they go down in a firefight, the other guy should be easy pickings. Also goes without saying but always pay attention to your radar. If all else fails, I love using sticky grenades. If the opponent is dropping your health faster than your dropping his, start running backwards, i find that 9/10 times, they will chase you to get that kill. Toss a sticky when he turns that corner or when hes charging you. I use this bait method when I want to get post mordem medals for bounties.

A few things. This game is all about shooting first for the most part. There are only a few play styles that support running around fast paced, and that's blink/shotty users or skilled hand cannon users. For most all other weapons it pays to move around the map methodically making sure if someone pops up, you have the jump on him. Obviously if you are highly skilled you can do w.e, but I recommend the above. Learn when to use your grenades. Get heavy ammo everytime it spawns. Rocket launchers are the current meta, but learning choke points with a machine gun can help you completly take over a game. Some of my best games involve me getting 15-20 heavy ammo kills. Watch a stream like fizzor. He will teach you about map flow, recognizing where you opponents are going to spawn is important. I have focused on these things over the past 3 weeks and dramatically increased my kd. I'm probably trending a 2 kd atm, hard to move the big base of bad from when I first started the game. But I'm slowly lifting the average.

Join the club. I am a level 21 and I am absolute crap. Played Rumble today for the first time and it was almost embarrassing. I am totally talentless in FPS yet I persist in the hope I improve. That said having co-ordination issues after a stroke doesn't help but I don't mind admitting I am a poor player.

Doubt you still want advice, but my k/d and knowledge is quite good. Learn to back up and run from bad situations. Stay with your team. Get a scout rifle with stability. Perfect weapon to learn accuracy with and has tons of range. Depending on your accuracy if good use hand cannons, if bad use auto. Use shotgun as your special, but never use it unless someone has you cornered. Never rush with it or use it like a primary. Don't use your super unless the situation calls for it. It's not going anywhere.

Because PvP is horribly unbalanced

You just need to play more. Repetition is what makes good players. Also, the pvp n this game is not very good nor balanced so don't worry if you aren't rocking it everytime .

Get a fusion rifle and get comfortable with its charge time. If you can learn to soak a bit of damage you will find there's not a better mid to close range gun. Just take wide turns around doors because a shot gun point blank will win. Have it half way charge as you come up on an enemy and you will win

Im working right now and taking a break on the toilet so I don't have much time. But destiny is more like halo than any other game, I've always had a good k/d ration on PvP modes in most shooter games. Here is the just of what to do. Think outside the box, this isn't cod or any modern shooter where 3 well placed shots kill ur enemy, so the element of surprise is always the best. Number two, you can't get super fast kills easily, so taking down two opponents who both have eyes on u is highly unlikly if u see 2 enemies heading ur way or an abundance of red markers on ur radar, run the other way and either flank them or set them up around a corner to be ambushed by a shot gun. When ur shields are knocked down and health is exposed RUN!!!! Ur sheilds recharge pretty quickly if u stay unharmed for about 5 seconds, once ur shield had recovered u should be in a great position to surprise the enemy chasing u. NEVER CHASE SOMEONE YOU HAVE ALMOST KILLED, trust me the one kill isn't worth dying for, if they run they are doing right and hoping to leas u into ur own death and another point for them. Another thing when an enemy is closing in on u and u suspect the are coming around a corner and know where u are jump as high as possible, they will be searching ground level as u get an advantage of seeing them and probably will land out of their vision. Theae are a couple steps that should help. Watch good players on YouTube and pay attention to the habits they have. Most likely if you follow in their footsteps u will eventually get a natural technique of your own.

Have you ever thought about changing classes? Maybe the titan just isn't for you.
