Game. Kd Don't matter as long as you kill enough. :) Everyone has their own techniques. Not everything you teach is right for them. Nothing I teach is right for them because I have my original style of playing. So yeah. There's that.
Bro D2 just has annoying shotgun apes and stasis no matter how you play it i mean when i was on console i started getting a handful of we rans and im a top tree dawn main but now on PC i switched to mnk and its a whole learning process before i get back to there
well there's actually an important distinction to make here. While I may kill the entire enemy team in some of these clips, I never fight in a 1v6. I take 6 1v1s back to back to back and eventually come out on top.
@@iAowe that's amazing. This guy ain't trynna show that off, he's trying to help people get to that point my g. No clue why you found sharing this necessary, but you do you.
@@iAowe can't say you're better than him unless you win a 1v1 with him in his current state. Dis him however you want, it will all mean nothing unless you win the 1v1. Until then, nobody cares. And I don't think you did train him, cuz trainers don't talk like that. The one thing I don't like about him tho is that he said "kd" and then proceeded to show his "kda", but that's it. Go bother someone else.
Keeping yourself alive is a critical factor in successful matches, great advice here. Also would like to add that popping a roaming super even if you get zero kills is effective in helping you get map control. Most people's (myself included) first reaction to hearing a Behemoth or Dawnblade proc is to just RUN. So even if you don't get a kill, you can scare the enemy out of position. I also like to follow a teammate who's popped their super to try to support with gunfire or abilities, just keep the pressure on.
Another thing is, supers aren't invincible. While I do hate players just running at them with shotguns and dying right away, i hate it even more when a super is out in the open and my teammates will run away instead of team-shooting it, resulting in loss of map control and most probably heavy ammo
There is some contention, but the most widespread origin is considered to come from the Battlefield series as non squad members showed as blue on the radar rather than the green of those in your squad. I had previously heard the term used interchangeably with “smurf” in vanilla WoW around 2005 to describe someone still wearing blue gear despite being at the level that they should be in purple gear. Destiny, of course, has its own evolutions and usage. In all of Destiny 1 and until post Forsaken D2, I had only ever heard the word used in a manner to describe someone as bad or a “newb/n00b”. It evolved over time to where I know hear it about 50/50 as derogatory or just random players/teammates.
I've definitely heard all these before but this is BY FAR the most concise and easy to understand. I'll definitely be sharing with my new light friend.
This video has actually helped me to distinguish what fights I can take and what fights I can’t. My survival rate is a decent bit higher thanks to the tips mentioned in this video. It takes a lot of introspection and discernment to figure out where your mistakes are being made and how to best change the way you play to get better. Love the vid and love the content.
These are all great tips, I'm still pretty trash at pvp, so I'll definitely try to make the most of these! One story of adapting that I have from a few months ago. Me and a friend were playing survival on that Titan map, I think the Rig, and in the first few rounds we kept rushing B and getting slaughtered. So in like round 3 or 4, I brought up that we kept losing when going inside and that we should try staying outside. And that helped us win the next few rounds. We still lost in the end, but realizing that issue and adapting helped give us a boost. Being able to recognize what you're doing wrong, and how you can fix it is very important.
Number 2 is definitely something I need to work on. When I look at my minimap and see that a teammate died, I tend to see it only as "LOL someone died" on not "Hey, a potential threat is in that approximate location, I should act accordingly".
Here’s a tip. When you’re playing against good players don’t peak when your health is red. Glacier nades can be used for angle advantages and a catches a lot off guard.
I made a modest improvement in my play when I decided to put away Felwinters, Igneous, Steady Hand, Bottom Dollar, etc (the weapons we’ve all been told are the best), and went back to Suros, Cerberus, Gnawing Hunger, Hard Light, etc (the weapons that feel best for my play style)
One I would like to add is that you should stay calm and not rage. Rage blinds you and causes you to get more aggressive. That will hurt your K/D too. But I will say, this was such a big help. I played three matches today in control and got one of my first ever Ghost in the Shadow. It really wasn't hard to pick my battles while using corners on a typically ranged map (Rusted Land). I also found two guns that really got me working as best I can. The two being Waking Vigil and Fractethyst. I didn't think it was going to help when I first listened, but being in control of an engagement is amazing.
The adapting one really helped, I recently kept getting aped by a titan with a shotgun, I started to get frustrated. But I remembered the tip and starting jumping back every time I thought it was him and managed to kill him a few times even if he is better than me over all. (I know I depicted them as brainless, but his primary shots are no push over.)
Dude your videos are so informative and nothing about it makes me feels like I’ve been stupid for making mistakes, you simple just give me the solution for it. Now some of it is easier said than done but it’s entirely appreciated and I plan to use all this info as best I can when I play next
This video is like an analysis of my PVP flaws. Yes! I know a lot of those principles but, as a occasional solo player, keeping them all in mind and executing on them is hard most of the time. :-) Thanks a lot!
I'm the same way. It's just a grind. I've slowly started becoming better and it feels nice to see some progress. I'd recommend really finding some guns that work for you as that made a huge difference for me. For example, the gridskipper is my main, but I never used pulses before it. Also, if using a hand cannon I will use a 180 in all but rare circumstances. For special I run a witherhoard, or if dealing with a lot of apes, my toil and trouble.
@@benstanfill363 Thanks. I seems we have lots in common in regards to this game. I have the same weapon preferences. The 120 HCs don't work well for me in PVP, despite the good rolls I have. I prefer the 180s as well and get good results despite them not being meta. I have a good SEVENTH SERAPH OFFICER REVOLVER and just got a decent SURVIVOR'S EPITAPH. They work well for me. A couple of days ago I got a good GRIDSKIPPER (range and stability perks), which I immediately masterworked. That is amazing as well. Stay well and enjoy the game!
I don't mean to be rude towards certain content creators but i am so happy i found your channel and i can finally get advice from an actual good player with a good K/D, i don't understand why i'd follow advice or watch videos on PvP from people with lower K/D or skill than mine. You are a cracked player with good stats and your videos are thorough and objective.
I can't believe the sheer idiocy in these comments. 1. Cross play in pvp will be purely opt in or out. It's a choice unlike pve 2. Yes cross play will be in pvp however refer to point 1 3. No. It has not been on you absolute moron. There was an accidental alpha left in the game for a few days only to be re released to a beta strictly in the strike Playlist only.
It is but if you have someone in your fireteam that's on pc your match others pc but if you don't have anyone on your fire team to load in with that's just console you won't match pc
Drilling these points home is what separates the good from great players. I'm a 1.3 kd who has the short term goal of getting to 1.5. I'm aware of all these tips, but I consistently find myself doing the opposite, especially when I'm frustrated. It really is difficult to break bad habits, so I'm gonna take your advice for my next session and make sure each category receives my undivided attention.
Tbh, the worst part about supers is how highly critical your teammates often get at how you use it. I swear they always get so upset with you if you don't kill anyone with them (talking about rando teammates by the way). So, your advice helps a lot! I've always felt pressured by teammates to get as many kills as possible. Lol.
That's hilarious I did this during Iron Banner. I play solo and I hold my super to long waiting for the "right" opportunity. if I had team mates around me I was assuming when we had numbers they were going to push or team fire and I would get caught out of position. Also don't assume if they are there you won't get flanked.
I whole heartedly agree with the over agressive commitments to killing an opponent. When ever I know someone is chasing me, I always run towards my team mates. The chance of them dying in pursuit goes up exponentially and the worst case scenario is that they kill me before dying to team mates. You get a free Asist or the kills end up net 0 progress for both teams.
I dip when the targets know my sniping position and the means to take me out, forcing them to chase me 9/10 a few don't notice the two titans charging them until I turn around and start spraying
A big part for me was actually finding a weapon pair I actually liked, now I have a good toil and trouble / grid skipper, and or good croma rush and a decent found verdict
Im an OG banner/trials player and these are very easy to understand and useful tips. Remind ppl not to be discouraged, use every death as a learning experience. Ive gone flawless with ppl that were 1.0 kd but knew how to win bcuz of experience.
For sure. My K/D is nothing special (1.6 something), but that's because I play super aggressive in 6v6 trying to get feed kills. I know when to turn that play style off and play smart. Not saying I'm a Godly player or anything, but K/D doesn't necessarily always reflect a persons skill level.
totally agree! Something I love about my teammates that I normally run with is we can adapt on the fly and often come back from large deficits. Once we recognize how we're losing, we normally come back from being down 2-0 or 3-0
very helpfull advices! I totally suck in PVP, with efficiency like 0,XXX. So, as I watched your video, I started using your tips. And my efficency rose to 1,6. Well, I know it isn't much, but for me it was a huge step forward :). So thanks man, you do a great job with your content!
I think, one more tip is needed: “dont forget about bonus effects from your class, like invisibility after a headshot while you are in crouch position and special abilities, like dodge to cover”
I dont think i will ever forget this video thanks to you mentioning "a good player will often wait for you around a corner or above a door". I do this. shadow said i was a good player XD
This is great, I've found myself making many of those mistakes while playing and didn't even realize what I was doing wrong. TBH, I don't even know how I got here, maybe youtube saw my gameplay and decided I suck (lol) and recommended this video to see if I can get better :) In any case, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with the world, it is greatly appreciated.
Like your style of explaining. Really chill. Edit: there are a lot of factors like the activity tracker and sounds in the background. I tend to turn the soundtrack down so I can hear the sound of the weapons being fired around me. Weapons like Last Word have a very distinctive sound and when I hear it I try to get further away.
How does everyone make this look easy? Everyone seems to melt others and it takes me so many shots and barely break their shield. I get one shot with a shotgun from across the room but can't kill someone point blank or a little ways away. The damage feels inconsistent from match to match as well
One reason might be that your guns have bad rolls/are bad as a whole. Another thing is that you should always play for headshots, since even if you hit like 2 shots that are headshots, if the other guy hits all bodies you should win.(that’s assuming your using similar or the same weapons)
I’m already a really good destiny player but it was really interesting to see you talk about things I’ve picked up naturally, it’s because forget that everyone doesn’t know these things
An all-encompassing suggestion: PAY ATTENTION. To everything. Pay attention to the opponent loadout. If you know they're using top tree dawn you can expect them to float in the air. If they're using a shotgun and handcannon you can expect mostly close and mid range engagements. If you notice a certain exotic you can expect them to be using that exotic how it was intended. Look at their subclass, exotic choice, weapons. If they use bubble titan you know they intend to lock down a specific area and they will have damage bonuses and super regen for their team. If they have tether hunter you can expect them to use it primarily as a shutdown. Keep an eye on the super meter so you can be aware that someone you are pursuing may be able to insta-kill you with a shutdown.
I like the highlight probably one of the most crucial points that was brushed over within the first 30 seconds of the video. Identifying YOUR playstyle. Everyone is slightly different on what they do and how they approach situations. Although this video is a good foundation on what to do and what not to do. But it's pointless if you don't understand how you play. And I like to add in another point recording software is in everything now especially if you have an Nvidia graphics card. If you truly want to improve yourself start recording your games for a session and go back and watch what you did. Because there are numerous things you miss In the heat of the moment.
I've been having a bad streak with my k/d recently because I am just now returning after last playing during forsaken, I found that the brute force strategies I was used to gets me killed a lot more often than I used to. Being a titan with bad burst mobility options for mid engagement (Like hunter dodge, dawnblade dash, void blink, etc.) forced me to look back at my kit to see what I COULD use. I now make sure to position myself in tight corridors and block them off with barricades preemptively. If I can tunnel them into a more fair fighting space, it makes my positioning all the better. I looked over my kit, and took time with my positioning and instead of pushing new zones, I kept lock on zones where I could lock them down. I saw instant improvement in my k/d and matches won. Its hard going from decent in PvP to bottom feeder, but I'll get back up there one day!
this was tips i kinda knew in the back of my head but i tend to ignore because i just wanna chase kills. Gonna try to slow it down and keep this in the back of my head. Thanks alot for a reminder
It seems like all you gotta do is buy beyond light and use stasis in the crucible. Getting frozen in mid combat could probably be the most ridiculous and overpowered thing ever. I absolutely despise it, it doesn't matter if you have your super active or not, you are going to lose against a stasis super.
I’ve usually implement antaeus wards in my pvp to have some in demand cover for a second when rotating or pushing. The improved slide also feels amazing and has saved me multiple times
My clan and I were just talking about how I'm in the top 1% in suicides on the game. Was hoping to see how to avoid the dreaded bungie deaths that aren't your fault. Guess I gotta keep my crown in the most underrated category lol.
It feels like you watched me play Destiny 2 and then made this video lol. I really liked your video. Thanks for the help. I will put forth effort to implement your advice. I may have to watch this a few more times.
Excellent video. Very valid points and amazing explaining. Good job! My one complaint. Regarding your last point with adaptation. The scenario you mentioned, the aping team and distance, that is absolutely true, but in a 6v6 scenario when your mates will not adapt to it, you adapting will def help you live longer, but you will still succumb as your mates are running in like its a black hole in the middle of the map. As if they go in and die and leave you keeping your distance (though aggresively) it will still tank your KD. So some fights are really lost from the get go, but at least yoylu can train your positioning. Its hard not to get angry at situations like this but I guess you take them to learn something new (. 10 times in a row :( ).
1:05 For me I find it a lot easier to get kills than to stay alive,. I can consistently get 30 kills a game, however I really struggle to keep myself alive, so the tips you had for decreasing deaths really helped me.
Hey. Gotta say, I just watched your video, and thanks to all of your tips, my team of solos managed to come back and beat a six stack in control. Thanks so much and keep up the great content!
I gotta say, all your tips are ABSOLUTELY great and very informative. Unfortunately it's easier to disengage as a hunter more than any other class. I'm a Titan main and I get that you can disengage with the barrier but the animation isn't as fast as the hunter dodge so all that we basically have is the shiver strike, which has a long cooldown depending on your strength level. I've learned to adapt my gameplay more by bring my opponents to me rather than being a foolish Titan that runs in straight lines lmao. I actually make due running 100 mobil, 100 resil, 60 recov and 70 str. Sometimes I might run 90 mobil, 100 str and 70 to 80 recovery to get back into fights faster. All depends on my mood honestly
Randomly saw this video in my yt feed and had to click because I'm a sucker for good pvp training videos. Honestly it didn't disappoint. As a bonus, it cracked me up pretty good when you advocated for baiting your team mates! I gotta admit, I suffer from "gettin' greedy" more than anything on this list, and a good player will punish me for it more often than not. Good callout.
Well to be clear, I didn't advocate for baiting teammates. I just said you can kinda get away with it in 6v6 without a big negative impact. Personally I don't care about winning in 6v6 so yeah
One that really hit me is the Super one... I used to feel allmighty when my super was active and ended falling miserably with 0 kills and probably a 10-12 year old with some LOL emote right after it... Thanks for the advice!!
This is awesome stuff! Please do more. I am terrible at PvP but still like to play it and wanna be better at it. I am definitely bookmarking your video and try to follow what you told me. As a blueberry, I am definitely over aggressive, charge without thinking, and almost never use the radar. I think the radar flaw is something that PvE encourages because you almost never have to use it there. So when noobs like me come over to PvP, it's not in our toolbox. Great content!
@@ShadowDestiny That'd be awesome! I have started going down your video Playlist and I can't believe you don't have a bigger following! Rest assured I am gonna be recommending you to anyone who'd listen lol. You're very talented and I love how organized your videos are. And how you break down stuff into its barest components. There are a lot of "big" content creators out there who only make stuff for the pros and the seasoned. And their videos always leaves me with questions like, "okay, but how do you do that exactly?" I never have to do that with your videos! You've definitely earned a follower and a subscriber in me. I'll drop in to say hi on Twitch sometime soon.
i definitely fall under the "swap weapons every second", though its sometimes for reasons of guns not feeling well for a particular map or opponent set
I've watched a few of your videos now. I'm super casual (and super mediocre!) at Destiny but the tips in this vid and others before it should help. Your content and voice over style is spot on too. I'll stick around for more. All the best matey.
Lil tip but I think have darker colors for your shader is somewhat helpful. Almost all crucible maps have rather darker toned and very common colors. Just a black/brown/grey ish shader can at the very least blend in a little bit. I like to change my shader to help match the colors of the map im playing
I’ve been playin destiny since launch and have hours of gameplay and top tier knowledge and skill, even I was able to take a lot of things from this and even find things that I didn’t do the best. Unbelievably well put together tips and video
Thanks. Watched your videos last night. Dropped my FoV to 95 and reduced my sensitivity to 10 from 16. First 2 matches 4.0 and 15.0 KD and I'm a 1.3 normally.
You know I used to hate comp. It took everything I had to get Luna's howl. Then I took everything I had to get Not Forgotten even tho the mode had been made easier. I can honestly say it's 1 of my favorite modes now. It made me a better player by forcing me to learn alot of these tips on my own. The instincts that cannot be learned in a video like this even tho Shadow is a fckn beast and an excellent teacher. I think you should nudge your veiwers into playing more comp if they are serious about improvement. My aim still shakes like an old man trying to take a piss but my overall skill is drastically better. Great video bro!
Great vid, nice to see a PvP controller player showing controllers can be good. Its also really good to find a PvP guide vid that is short, if I had the time to watch an hour guide on PVP, I'd probably spend that time doing something else! lots of vids out there 40min + and they don't even give you points to follow. I like that this is broken down into smaller chunks which are easy to digest, especially for a PvP player like me who totally sucks at PVP😄, I will definitely try spending 3 or more games honing each skill, before trying to put them together. Got me slamming the like and subscribe button, Would love to see more of these. Keep up the good work man.
With the super against a group of camping players, there are some combos like sentinel: bash in, throw, bash away, which can deal with these scenarios well. You need to know who you're playing against as against some groups you will get team shot to death, but there are multiple ways to deal with them with a super. These are really good tips and advice though.
You know i keep listening to videos like this in hope that itll keep me motivated to improve but honestly its draining with how inconsistent pvp feels. This season especially has felt super laggy to the point im not enjoying pvp and only going into it for bounties. Not going to lie the moment BF6 drops im probably not going to touch d2 pvp for many seasons
Bit late to this but anyway: with hindsight this video is full of blindingly obvious advice. I'm now painfully aware of being guilty of every point made! Trying to fix that in Iron Banner tonight I tried to give up on the Lone Wolf thing as a start. My KD went from around 0.4 per game to 1.25 or more. Cheers man!
Another tip: Avoid ADS for too long in one direction. You’re liable to get snuck up on and killed by a sliding shotty user. Or simply by someone who flanked and you were ADS so you didn’t see the radar. Another tip: always always always check the radar. It gives you the general direction of where the enemy is and if he’s above or below you based on the opacity of the color. As well as the number of enemies that are nearby. Keep your engagements only with 1 enemy and the moment you see another guy just high tail it outta there cuz you’re gonna die. But the main tip is just don’t ADS too long. It should be in and out. You always want eyes on that radar. I improved from a 1.2 to a 1.46 following these rules. Now that I’ve seen this video I’ll start using cover more because I don’t that often and it’s why destiny is frustrating. I’m literally exposing myself to all the bullshit. Don’t do that. Just play slow and smart.
Now that you got me hooked on being a hunter I just have to master bottom tree golden guns weighted knife 🔪. It is so satisfying, but I don't know if I'm off a little on my timing or what. Awesome content as always.😁
One of the best pieces of advice for me here is "work on one thing for a few rounds, and then work on another." I try to do everything at once and then forget everything all the time.
One rule I always take from every game is my 1’s works in siege apex and almost every game I play never try fight more than 1 guy at once take it one guys at a time run if you have to they usually get annoyed and make a dumb decision giving an ez kill
I actually did turn it into a series! There are 2 more videos exactly like it on my channel, plus a lot more with a similar style. Thanks for the support!!
Your tips have helped me so Much I used to be a very ober aggressive player and I have almost completely fixed it I win 70% more of my games and gunfights thanks!
If you have a clan or a group of friends you can always invite them to play a couple of private matches in Momentum Control. Since the weapons cause way more damage and your skills don't regenerate unless you get kills, you can adapt into sticking to cover and choosing your engagements carefully because if you don't adapt, you'll die a lot.
One mistake I see people make is when they flee to an open area. That just allows the pursuer to fly above you for a clean up kill. Instead go to an area that forces everyone to be on the ground.
Another tip (not just for PvP) is to use mods. Swap your mods out for more PvP focused ones, i.e. switch war mind cell mods for improved target acquisition, or have a diff armor set so you not constantly switching
@6:01 if I had found myself looking at 5 people in that doorway on cauldron I would have died before I could even scope in. How you survived that one is beyond me lol

These are all great tips, I'm still pretty trash at pvp, so I'll definitely try to make the most of these!
One story of adapting that I have from a few months ago. Me and a friend were playing survival on that Titan map, I think the Rig, and in the first few rounds we kept rushing B and getting slaughtered. So in like round 3 or 4, I brought up that we kept losing when going inside and that we should try staying outside. And that helped us win the next few rounds. We still lost in the end, but realizing that issue and adapting helped give us a boost.
Being able to recognize what you're doing wrong, and how you can fix it is very important.
This is absolutely true! Changing up your strategy mid game is really important, especially when you’re losing. Thanks for sharing your story bro
Number 2 is definitely something I need to work on. When I look at my minimap and see that a teammate died, I tend to see it only as "LOL someone died" on not "Hey, a potential threat is in that approximate location, I should act accordingly".
Here’s a tip. When you’re playing against good players don’t peak when your health is red.
Glacier nades can be used for angle advantages and a catches a lot off guard.
@@iAowe you’re joking right?
@@socoolaesor yeah he's a troll. he needs to go touch grass
actually, don't peek if you're missing health at all. exception is when the enemy is as weak in health as you are
@@iAowe i watched your “montage” and you are NOT good homie 🤣 looks like quickplay gave you a lil ego
@@uzikage. trials too. Didn't I clap you too? You're literally in my montage
I made a modest improvement in my play when I decided to put away Felwinters, Igneous, Steady Hand, Bottom Dollar, etc (the weapons we’ve all been told are the best), and went back to Suros, Cerberus, Gnawing Hunger, Hard Light, etc (the weapons that feel best for my play style)
One I would like to add is that you should stay calm and not rage. Rage blinds you and causes you to get more aggressive. That will hurt your K/D too. But I will say, this was such a big help. I played three matches today in control and got one of my first ever Ghost in the Shadow. It really wasn't hard to pick my battles while using corners on a typically ranged map (Rusted Land). I also found two guns that really got me working as best I can. The two being Waking Vigil and Fractethyst. I didn't think it was going to help when I first listened, but being in control of an engagement is amazing.
The adapting one really helped, I recently kept getting aped by a titan with a shotgun, I started to get frustrated. But I remembered the tip and starting jumping back every time I thought it was him and managed to kill him a few times even if he is better than me over all. (I know I depicted them as brainless, but his primary shots are no push over.)
Dude your videos are so informative and nothing about it makes me feels like I’ve been stupid for making mistakes, you simple just give me the solution for it. Now some of it is easier said than done but it’s entirely appreciated and I plan to use all this info as best I can when I play next
Out of the 5, adapting in games was the only tip I actually knew about. This really helped
This video is like an analysis of my PVP flaws. Yes! I know a lot of those principles but, as a occasional solo player, keeping them all in mind and executing on them is hard most of the time. :-) Thanks a lot!
I'm the same way. It's just a grind. I've slowly started becoming better and it feels nice to see some progress. I'd recommend really finding some guns that work for you as that made a huge difference for me. For example, the gridskipper is my main, but I never used pulses before it. Also, if using a hand cannon I will use a 180 in all but rare circumstances. For special I run a witherhoard, or if dealing with a lot of apes, my toil and trouble.
@@benstanfill363 Thanks. I seems we have lots in common in regards to this game. I have the same weapon preferences. The 120 HCs don't work well for me in PVP, despite the good rolls I have. I prefer the 180s as well and get good results despite them not being meta. I have a good SEVENTH SERAPH OFFICER REVOLVER and just got a decent SURVIVOR'S EPITAPH. They work well for me. A couple of days ago I got a good GRIDSKIPPER (range and stability perks), which I immediately masterworked. That is amazing as well. Stay well and enjoy the game!
I don't mean to be rude towards certain content creators but i am so happy i found your channel and i can finally get advice from an actual good player with a good K/D, i don't understand why i'd follow advice or watch videos on PvP from people with lower K/D or skill than mine. You are a cracked player with good stats and your videos are thorough and objective.
Did you just tell me not to blindly try and shoulder charge? My Titan head shakes of disappointment.
Man, teach me🤣 once the cross-platform is active
cross platform isn’t gonna be on for pvp
@@ryanlomas7804 that would make no logical sence. In customs u can
It's been active lol. It's nothing special
I can't believe the sheer idiocy in these comments.
1. Cross play in pvp will be purely opt in or out. It's a choice unlike pve
2. Yes cross play will be in pvp however refer to point 1
3. No. It has not been on you absolute moron. There was an accidental alpha left in the game for a few days only to be re released to a beta strictly in the strike Playlist only.
It is but if you have someone in your fireteam that's on pc your match others pc but if you don't have anyone on your fire team to load in with that's just console you won't match pc
Drilling these points home is what separates the good from great players. I'm a 1.3 kd who has the short term goal of getting to 1.5. I'm aware of all these tips, but I consistently find myself doing the opposite, especially when I'm frustrated.
It really is difficult to break bad habits, so I'm gonna take your advice for my next session and make sure each category receives my undivided attention.
Tbh, the worst part about supers is how highly critical your teammates often get at how you use it. I swear they always get so upset with you if you don't kill anyone with them (talking about rando teammates by the way).
So, your advice helps a lot! I've always felt pressured by teammates to get as many kills as possible. Lol.
That's hilarious I did this during Iron Banner. I play solo and I hold my super to long waiting for the "right" opportunity. if I had team mates around me I was assuming when we had numbers they were going to push or team fire and I would get caught out of position. Also don't assume if they are there you won't get flanked.
I whole heartedly agree with the over agressive commitments to killing an opponent. When ever I know someone is chasing me, I always run towards my team mates. The chance of them dying in pursuit goes up exponentially and the worst case scenario is that they kill me before dying to team mates. You get a free Asist or the kills end up net 0 progress for both teams.
Facts
I dip when the targets know my sniping position and the means to take me out, forcing them to chase me 9/10 a few don't notice the two titans charging them until I turn around and start spraying
A big part for me was actually finding a weapon pair I actually liked, now I have a good toil and trouble / grid skipper, and or good croma rush and a decent found verdict
Im an OG banner/trials player and these are very easy to understand and useful tips. Remind ppl not to be discouraged, use every death as a learning experience. Ive gone flawless with ppl that were 1.0 kd but knew how to win bcuz of experience.
For sure. My K/D is nothing special (1.6 something), but that's because I play super aggressive in 6v6 trying to get feed kills. I know when to turn that play style off and play smart. Not saying I'm a Godly player or anything, but K/D doesn't necessarily always reflect a persons skill level.
That last one is super important, every time I play trials my teammates never adapt
totally agree! Something I love about my teammates that I normally run with is we can adapt on the fly and often come back from large deficits. Once we recognize how we're losing, we normally come back from being down 2-0 or 3-0
very helpfull advices! I totally suck in PVP, with efficiency like 0,XXX. So, as I watched your video, I started using your tips. And my efficency rose to 1,6. Well, I know it isn't much, but for me it was a huge step forward :). So thanks man, you do a great job with your content!
Thanks for watching :) check out part 2 if you haven’t already!
I think, one more tip is needed: “dont forget about bonus effects from your class, like invisibility after a headshot while you are in crouch position and special abilities, like dodge to cover”
Alot of times I ignore these videos, but this one was actually very informative and helped me fixed some of my short commings.
I dont think i will ever forget this video thanks to you mentioning "a good player will often wait for you around a corner or above a door". I do this. shadow said i was a good player XD
Steps to Victory:
1. Take a shotgun or a sniper
2. Look for a Corner, crouch
3. Profit
This is great, I've found myself making many of those mistakes while playing and didn't even realize what I was doing wrong. TBH, I don't even know how I got here, maybe youtube saw my gameplay and decided I suck (lol) and recommended this video to see if I can get better :)
In any case, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with the world, it is greatly appreciated.
Like your style of explaining. Really chill.
Edit: there are a lot of factors like the activity tracker and sounds in the background. I tend to turn the soundtrack down so I can hear the sound of the weapons being fired around me. Weapons like Last Word have a very distinctive sound and when I hear it I try to get further away.
How does everyone make this look easy? Everyone seems to melt others and it takes me so many shots and barely break their shield. I get one shot with a shotgun from across the room but can't kill someone point blank or a little ways away. The damage feels inconsistent from match to match as well
Hit your shots.
One reason might be that your guns have bad rolls/are bad as a whole. Another thing is that you should always play for headshots, since even if you hit like 2 shots that are headshots, if the other guy hits all bodies you should win.(that’s assuming your using similar or the same weapons)
A large part of the game is based on armor stat rolls as well as gun rolls. Check to make sure your armor is giving you what you want
@@gurimisenpai2358 very funny.
he's not wrong, I find that if I calm down a little and not spaz out and actually aim, I get more kills.
I’m already a really good destiny player but it was really interesting to see you talk about things I’ve picked up naturally, it’s because forget that everyone doesn’t know these things
An all-encompassing suggestion: PAY ATTENTION. To everything. Pay attention to the opponent loadout. If you know they're using top tree dawn you can expect them to float in the air. If they're using a shotgun and handcannon you can expect mostly close and mid range engagements. If you notice a certain exotic you can expect them to be using that exotic how it was intended. Look at their subclass, exotic choice, weapons. If they use bubble titan you know they intend to lock down a specific area and they will have damage bonuses and super regen for their team. If they have tether hunter you can expect them to use it primarily as a shutdown. Keep an eye on the super meter so you can be aware that someone you are pursuing may be able to insta-kill you with a shutdown.
This is great. I get a lot of questions about crucible and this video will help cover a lot of aspects. Would love to see a series
By far the most useful video to ever pop up on my recommended - instant sub. Going to work on all of these!
I like the highlight probably one of the most crucial points that was brushed over within the first 30 seconds of the video. Identifying YOUR playstyle.
Everyone is slightly different on what they do and how they approach situations. Although this video is a good foundation on what to do and what not to do. But it's pointless if you don't understand how you play. And I like to add in another point recording software is in everything now especially if you have an Nvidia graphics card. If you truly want to improve yourself start recording your games for a session and go back and watch what you did. Because there are numerous things you miss In the heat of the moment.
I've been having a bad streak with my k/d recently because I am just now returning after last playing during forsaken, I found that the brute force strategies I was used to gets me killed a lot more often than I used to. Being a titan with bad burst mobility options for mid engagement (Like hunter dodge, dawnblade dash, void blink, etc.) forced me to look back at my kit to see what I COULD use. I now make sure to position myself in tight corridors and block them off with barricades preemptively. If I can tunnel them into a more fair fighting space, it makes my positioning all the better. I looked over my kit, and took time with my positioning and instead of pushing new zones, I kept lock on zones where I could lock them down. I saw instant improvement in my k/d and matches won. Its hard going from decent in PvP to bottom feeder, but I'll get back up there one day!
Tip 1: use stasis, dmt, and felwinters, and nothing else until Bungie releases new op weapons.
Any advice for this season? Like a sequal to tip 1?
This is great, thank you very much. I’ve been using this tips 2 weeks and man, I’m improving a lot
That’s great to hear!
this was tips i kinda knew in the back of my head but i tend to ignore because i just wanna chase kills. Gonna try to slow it down and keep this in the back of my head. Thanks alot for a reminder
''Dont go fight more than 2 people at the time''
Stasis hunters:
**SHATTERDIVE INTENSIFIES**
It seems like all you gotta do is buy beyond light and use stasis in the crucible. Getting frozen in mid combat could probably be the most ridiculous and overpowered thing ever. I absolutely despise it, it doesn't matter if you have your super active or not, you are going to lose against a stasis super.
I’ve usually implement antaeus wards in my pvp to have some in demand cover for a second when rotating or pushing. The improved slide also feels amazing and has saved me multiple times
Well I doubt I’ll go flawless in my life time but these tips are useful. Appreciate the upload!
My clan and I were just talking about how I'm in the top 1% in suicides on the game. Was hoping to see how to avoid the dreaded bungie deaths that aren't your fault.
Guess I gotta keep my crown in the most underrated category lol.
It feels like you watched me play Destiny 2 and then made this video lol. I really liked your video. Thanks for the help. I will put forth effort to implement your advice. I may have to watch this a few more times.
Excellent video. Very valid points and amazing explaining. Good job! My one complaint. Regarding your last point with adaptation. The scenario you mentioned, the aping team and distance, that is absolutely true, but in a 6v6 scenario when your mates will not adapt to it, you adapting will def help you live longer, but you will still succumb as your mates are running in like its a black hole in the middle of the map. As if they go in and die and leave you keeping your distance (though aggresively) it will still tank your KD. So some fights are really lost from the get go, but at least yoylu can train your positioning. Its hard not to get angry at situations like this but I guess you take them to learn something new (. 10 times in a row :( ).
1:07 br that’s a goddamn Sun Zu quotes right there bro
1:05
For me I find it a lot easier to get kills than to stay alive,. I can consistently get 30 kills a game, however I really struggle to keep myself alive, so the tips you had for decreasing deaths really helped me.
Hey. Gotta say, I just watched your video, and thanks to all of your tips, my team of solos managed to come back and beat a six stack in control. Thanks so much and keep up the great content!
I gotta say, all your tips are ABSOLUTELY great and very informative. Unfortunately it's easier to disengage as a hunter more than any other class. I'm a Titan main and I get that you can disengage with the barrier but the animation isn't as fast as the hunter dodge so all that we basically have is the shiver strike, which has a long cooldown depending on your strength level. I've learned to adapt my gameplay more by bring my opponents to me rather than being a foolish Titan that runs in straight lines lmao. I actually make due running 100 mobil, 100 resil, 60 recov and 70 str. Sometimes I might run 90 mobil, 100 str and 70 to 80 recovery to get back into fights faster. All depends on my mood honestly
6:15 is something alot of new players need to hear
Randomly saw this video in my yt feed and had to click because I'm a sucker for good pvp training videos. Honestly it didn't disappoint. As a bonus, it cracked me up pretty good when you advocated for baiting your team mates!
I gotta admit, I suffer from "gettin' greedy" more than anything on this list, and a good player will punish me for it more often than not. Good callout.
Well to be clear, I didn't advocate for baiting teammates. I just said you can kinda get away with it in 6v6 without a big negative impact. Personally I don't care about winning in 6v6 so yeah
@@ShadowDestiny exactly. Cracked me up. Good stuff my dude. No disrespect at all
It’s comical how much your videos have helped me. My KDR has genuinely doubled in a week.
That’s.. insane.
Congrats man!
One that really hit me is the Super one... I used to feel allmighty when my super was active and ended falling miserably with 0 kills and probably a 10-12 year old with some LOL emote right after it... Thanks for the advice!!
A series would be sick 🤙
This is awesome stuff! Please do more. I am terrible at PvP but still like to play it and wanna be better at it. I am definitely bookmarking your video and try to follow what you told me. As a blueberry, I am definitely over aggressive, charge without thinking, and almost never use the radar. I think the radar flaw is something that PvE encourages because you almost never have to use it there. So when noobs like me come over to PvP, it's not in our toolbox.
Great content!
Thanks so much! A ton of people have said this video was helpful so I'm thinking of making a part 2 sometime soon
@@ShadowDestiny That'd be awesome! I have started going down your video Playlist and I can't believe you don't have a bigger following! Rest assured I am gonna be recommending you to anyone who'd listen lol. You're very talented and I love how organized your videos are. And how you break down stuff into its barest components. There are a lot of "big" content creators out there who only make stuff for the pros and the seasoned. And their videos always leaves me with questions like, "okay, but how do you do that exactly?" I never have to do that with your videos! You've definitely earned a follower and a subscriber in me. I'll drop in to say hi on Twitch sometime soon.
i definitely fall under the "swap weapons every second", though its sometimes for reasons of guns not feeling well for a particular map or opponent set
I've watched a few of your videos now. I'm super casual (and super mediocre!) at Destiny but the tips in this vid and others before it should help. Your content and voice over style is spot on too. I'll stick around for more. All the best matey.
Thank you very much for the kind words! I appreciate you watching the content
DAMN, I never felt more called out. I am that veteran with a crucible ego😅
I don't know why you don't have more subbs. Your Videos are nicely structured and informative i Like that very mutch keep up the good Work.
Lil tip but I think have darker colors for your shader is somewhat helpful. Almost all crucible maps have rather darker toned and very common colors. Just a black/brown/grey ish shader can at the very least blend in a little bit. I like to change my shader to help match the colors of the map im playing
I’ve been playin destiny since launch and have hours of gameplay and top tier knowledge and skill, even I was able to take a lot of things from this and even find things that I didn’t do the best. Unbelievably well put together tips and video
Thanks. Watched your videos last night. Dropped my FoV to 95 and reduced my sensitivity to 10 from 16. First 2 matches 4.0 and 15.0 KD and I'm a 1.3 normally.
Nice work!
I noticed I got better from last season. I averaged maybe about a 1.68 or something k/d now this season. i average about a 2.32
I personally believe that in any game, adaptability is ur strongest power. Adapting against ur opponents is such a huge advantage to u and ur team.
You know I used to hate comp. It took everything I had to get Luna's howl. Then I took everything I had to get Not Forgotten even tho the mode had been made easier. I can honestly say it's 1 of my favorite modes now. It made me a better player by forcing me to learn alot of these tips on my own. The instincts that cannot be learned in a video like this even tho Shadow is a fckn beast and an excellent teacher. I think you should nudge your veiwers into playing more comp if they are serious about improvement. My aim still shakes like an old man trying to take a piss but my overall skill is drastically better. Great video bro!
Great vid, nice to see a PvP controller player showing controllers can be good. Its also really good to find a PvP guide vid that is short, if I had the time to watch an hour guide on PVP, I'd probably spend that time doing something else! lots of vids out there 40min + and they don't even give you points to follow. I like that this is broken down into smaller chunks which are easy to digest, especially for a PvP player like me who totally sucks at PVP😄, I will definitely try spending 3 or more games honing each skill, before trying to put them together. Got me slamming the like and subscribe button, Would love to see more of these. Keep up the good work man.
With the super against a group of camping players, there are some combos like sentinel: bash in, throw, bash away, which can deal with these scenarios well. You need to know who you're playing against as against some groups you will get team shot to death, but there are multiple ways to deal with them with a super.
These are really good tips and advice though.
Great guide for us PVP noobs. Thanks. Cant wait to put this into practice
You know i keep listening to videos like this in hope that itll keep me motivated to improve but honestly its draining with how inconsistent pvp feels. This season especially has felt super laggy to the point im not enjoying pvp and only going into it for bounties. Not going to lie the moment BF6 drops im probably not going to touch d2 pvp for many seasons
Bit late to this but anyway: with hindsight this video is full of blindingly obvious advice. I'm now painfully aware of being guilty of every point made! Trying to fix that in Iron Banner tonight I tried to give up on the Lone Wolf thing as a start. My KD went from around 0.4 per game to 1.25 or more. Cheers man!
big improvement love to see it!
Another tip: Avoid ADS for too long in one direction. You’re liable to get snuck up on and killed by a sliding shotty user. Or simply by someone who flanked and you were ADS so you didn’t see the radar.
Another tip: always always always check the radar. It gives you the general direction of where the enemy is and if he’s above or below you based on the opacity of the color. As well as the number of enemies that are nearby.
Keep your engagements only with 1 enemy and the moment you see another guy just high tail it outta there cuz you’re gonna die. But the main tip is just don’t ADS too long. It should be in and out. You always want eyes on that radar.
I improved from a 1.2 to a 1.46 following these rules. Now that I’ve seen this video I’ll start using cover more because I don’t that often and it’s why destiny is frustrating. I’m literally exposing myself to all the bullshit.
Don’t do that. Just play slow and smart.
Thanks for the tip 👍
@@ButtsandFarts no problem 😎
was at a .9 kd last season then i found your channel. currently sitting at 1.3 kd which is better so thanks for the tips!
That’s a big improvement for just 1 season. Congrats man!
Now that you got me hooked on being a hunter I just have to master bottom tree golden guns weighted knife 🔪. It is so satisfying, but I don't know if I'm off a little on my timing or what. Awesome content as always.😁
I like your tips but my tip is when a super is cast or final round split up and flank around them so their super is not fully optimized
Man, just doing what you said and been the best of my team :)
Finally a guide where I’m good at all the things mentioned lmao. I’m actually good at a game, that’s crazy
One of the best pieces of advice for me here is "work on one thing for a few rounds, and then work on another." I try to do everything at once and then forget everything all the time.
Thanks for this. I’m trying to get better at PVP and this video will definitely help
That Mars map... Nostalgia
I hope it comes back, I love Meltdown
The shatterdive reminded me I still haven’t got much stasis stuff in my warlock or hunter..... guess I’m doing that tomorrow
One rule I always take from every game is my 1’s works in siege apex and almost every game I play never try fight more than 1 guy at once take it one guys at a time run if you have to they usually get annoyed and make a dumb decision giving an ez kill
You got a sub and a like dude. I would love for you to turn this into a series. I appreciate your time making this content.
I actually did turn it into a series! There are 2 more videos exactly like it on my channel, plus a lot more with a similar style. Thanks for the support!!
Your tips have helped me so Much I used to be a very ober aggressive player and I have almost completely fixed it I win 70% more of my games and gunfights thanks!
Wow that’s awesome!
Sir I wanna tell you I now snipe a lot more in pvp because of your videos and tips im still learning ty shadow
If you have a clan or a group of friends you can always invite them to play a couple of private matches in Momentum Control. Since the weapons cause way more damage and your skills don't regenerate unless you get kills, you can adapt into sticking to cover and choosing your engagements carefully because if you don't adapt, you'll die a lot.
One mistake I see people make is when they flee to an open area. That just allows the pursuer to fly above you for a clean up kill.
Instead go to an area that forces everyone to be on the ground.
Another tip (not just for PvP) is to use mods. Swap your mods out for more PvP focused ones, i.e. switch war mind cell mods for improved target acquisition, or have a diff armor set so you not constantly switching
@6:01 if I had found myself looking at 5 people in that doorway on cauldron I would have died before I could even scope in. How you survived that one is beyond me lol
Really well done my friend
Thank you so much! I’m so glad to have found you!!
:) thanks for watching
Something I once heard is never stand still for more then 3-5 seconds, if you’re skipping aim and if they aren’t engaging reposition
I use the x marker on the radar during pve to revive my fireteam
Absolutely love the guides. Thank you so much!
