Thanks for all the support you all have shown my sniping series. It's been a fun 12 months since I started this channel, looking forward to the next year as you all continue to give feedback to help the channel grow and develop.
Been waiting for another entry into this series from you TV! Thanks for the tips, especially the bit about left stick movement whilst hard scoping...that's going to be huge...and looking back, I can remember SO many snipers beating me this way!
I really like those vids of yours, not only they are clear and helpful, but they're also delivered in a nice mature tone and professional manner. Whenever I watch your stuff, I get the urge to play pvp.. :-)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!i really liked your how to snipe series a while ago and it really has brought my sniping game up, i get headshots on a daily now and before i was a noob :) Thanks man.
You forgot that you need to shadestep after every snipe for style points. :P But in all seriousness, thanks for the video! Though, I do feel like as of recent I have naturally made this progression toward the aggressive sniper that I have always wanted to be, and it's thanks to these "sniping 101" type of videos. Back a few months, I couldn't snipe for my life. Now, I'm getting messages and comments from people about my sniping, and I myself feel incredibly confident with a sniper. It is such a great feeling. So, thank you for the videos man. Really appreciate what you do! Crucible used to be my most hated aspect of the game, now I love it.
+Giuliano Casmuz Thanks Giuliano! Appreciate the feedback, I'm getting more and more versed in editing and the practice with commentary over the last year has helped too :)
another great video. i like the tips about diagonal drag, cutting down stick movement for faster target acquisition. I also need to put myself in closer combat. Thanks for your tips and all you do for the community! hope i run into you in the crucible!
Just to try to compare to the greatness that is TrueVanguard, I'm going to tell about my 2 greatest sniper plays. 1. I was in Skirmish, using my vendor version 1000- yard stare on Black Shield, when I sniped one person in the doorway towards A, and I was watching his orb because I saw action on the radar in his general direction. I see him being revived, and rez-sniped him. His other two teammates peeked out at the same time, and I rapidly got both of them. 2. I was playing Rumble with the same sniper on Sector 618, when I ran into a Sunsinger in close quarters. He had no over shield so I just decided to try to snipe him. I got a sweet drag scope on him and I was freaking out, because I am mediocre at best when it comes to sniping, and that never happens. Then, a second later, a Sunbreaker pops out. ( This is after the Sunbreaker nerf) He jumps, and using my "skills" from one of TV's sniping episodes, I dome him while he is falling to the ground. So, yeah.
That's why I live by and love primaries with single point sling. You're not always going to hit the head, so body shit is nice and coupled with a HC or any primary with single point sling makes it so much easier to finish him off. That one two combo of body snipe switch to primary is a great tool if you're not consistent with head shots(which isn't bad) I always live by "aim small, miss small" from the movie "The Patriot" :) great vid as always though! Love your tips and game play along with Kjhovey :D
Hey man I just wanted to say thanks for making these "How to snipe" videos. I really hope it helps me out in the crucible because I really need to get better at sniping in destiny. Keep up the great videos though.
I don't understand how you are only at 30k subs. You should be at 300k. I feel like every time a True Vanguard video appears in my sub box, I know it will be a super high quality video. Keep up the good shit Tv
Great tips and stellar gameplay. I've watched some other youtubers recently and in the current Destiny youtuber meta, you are pre-2.0 Thorn--that is to say, top tier content, always.
Ive always been pretty decent at long range sniping but this video has helped me become so much better at using the sniper like a primary, ive been double quick scoping and ive never been good at it. :D
Great tips, glad you emphasize that you should almost never go for quick scopes unless being forced to for some good reason. I would argue that that play at 2:00 is a pretty bad play tho :P. Teammates all around you and you went for that shade step quickie? Pffffffft, that ain't a smart play, that's show boating haha.
I honestly thought he was still down below in that tunnel area and thought I had more space, but during that shadestep I saw him. Not to mention you were in my ear giving me crap about a previous play. That's why I took the audio out :)
+True Vanguard Silly head, i never actually pronounce kappa. And I stand by my statement... you shadestep at a guy with a sniper out in a close combat area. That ain't team oriented play!
I straight jumped into sniping. Went balls to the wall, no prior training, Efrideet's Spear with Field Scout and Firefly with the Shortgaze and did just fine. Moved on to my Stare and haven't gone back. Though, I do have a Spear with Snapshot and Shortgaze on it waiting for me so...
plying destiny since beta.. never picked up sniper in pvp coz i sucked. 3 days of practice and good lowbow i can land around 60% of headshots. credit goes to you mate and thanks alot.
+True Vanguard it's funny because I started practicing quick scoping in the crucible on Saturday night. I have only hit a couple body shots so far, so seeing a shot like that is amazing.
+Xûr Does this affect the shot at all, or does the shot still land where the scope aims? I've been doing quite well with the Aoife Rua-D and haven't noticed any suspect misses. Should probably test it for myself i guess.
+findthereal12 too much fun to miss out on. Played a very sweaty match against deadpool and his fire team and unfortunately we had a blueberry on our side. They were all using red death and getting body shots with snipers and then red death burst which was frustrating but we came out with our heads high only losing by 1500 in skirmish with a blueberry. One of the most fun matches I've had in a while.
I know you said that you'd catch me in the crucible, and you're great and all but I kind of hope that you don't, unless you're on my team, then that's fine. Great sniping tutorials I've learned a lot
got a triple tap on an active blade dancer on blue exodus near the outside heavy today during mayhem rumble, after leaving the scene I then see him again and manage to get the drag snipe on him. I love my weylorans march with hidden hand
I remember when I first drag scoped I had my omolon eirene rr4 on rusted lands he was sitting on tube I jumped above him landed then he tried running and got him
Hey TV, I just wanted to say that I have seen some major improvement these last few month. I have trouble keeping up with some of those clips! Keep on posting and maybe one day I'll be able to play against you. (I play on PS3)
Hey true vanguard, huge fan. I got a shortage, 1000 yard stare with unflinching and hidden hand. But I do not want to get spoiled by this gun until trials comes out. Any tips?
Hi I watch your videos all the time and was wondering if you could answer a question. I've recently been using the 1000 yard stare and was thinking if you could give me a tip on how to res snipe better. It would be the coolest if you replied to the comment as well
So, to practice all this quick scope some dregs and vandals in the ember caves and then charge in with my sniper on rift? Gotcha! Worth also using NLB for this or just use a primary and have it like a sidearm to my sniper?
+LazyData Don't use actual enemies in patrol. The idea is to use an inanimate object (something at head level, preferably), so that you don't benefit from any aim assist.
No lie guys. Body shot kills maybe considered cheap by the community. But, it's tactically smart when you have the opportunity to perform a kill that requires less difficulty than aiming for that sweet headshot all the time.
hey True V , thx for another great video. I have another question for you... do u use regular controller with and shadestep on 'O'? I feel like I lose a lot of mobility when I have to move my thumb from the aim stick ... I use bumper jumper btw :)
Thanks.i used to play way to aggressive with a shotgun averaging 27 kills a game but with a 1.2 k/d Now my k/d is at 1.8 on average but my kills are down to about 17 or 18 but I'm getting there
Question for ya TV: Ive noticed often when Im taking damage in PvP, my Titan will almost freeze in place. I cant take cover before I die, but this never happens in PvE. Any thoughts???
I really would like to play against you in a skirmish match to see just how good you truly are. You are a very talented sniper and you are very experienced as well but so am I. What's funny is that at this point in destiny my only true competition are people like you and even then you aren't as good as triple wreck but to be honest practically no one is as good as triple wreck. Hopefully one day I get the chance to go against you and see which one of us is better. Other than that nice vid! I haven't really learned anything but I'm sure tons of people have. Oh and could you make a review on the 1000-yard stare? I find it to be a decent sniper but I feel that I land headshots I shouldn't be landing while using it.
Lol I watched the first two minutes of this video before going into a clash game on exodus blue... Then I had the best sniping game I've ever had😀 I think I missed maybe on shot and every single one of them was either sorta close range, while something was mobile or those drag scope ones
Thanks for all the support you all have shown my sniping series. It's been a fun 12 months since I started this channel, looking forward to the next year as you all continue to give feedback to help the channel grow and develop.
Now let me ask you, how long did you have to practice these methods before you became consistently good at them? And, did you do much practice in PvE
thanks for your awesome work.
because of your tips i have 70% hs with my sniper.
This is still one of my favorite PvP series!
+True Vanguard Thanks a lot #TrueVanguard. Your content is always top notch and your tips always appreciated!
love the video. what sensitivity do you play on
It's just nuts how accurate you are. Props.
Thanks! Took years of fps gaming, but makes playing so much fun for sure
True Vanguard, your content is some of the most helpful I have seen. Your videos inspired me to take up sniping. Keep up the good work
+Cameron Perry Glad to hear it, Cameron! Welcome to the light side :)
Been waiting for another entry into this series from you TV! Thanks for the tips, especially the bit about left stick movement whilst hard scoping...that's going to be huge...and looking back, I can remember SO many snipers beating me this way!
These tips helped a lot. I go flawless almost every week. And I carry people who are below 300 light. Thank you vanguard.
I really like those vids of yours, not only they are clear and helpful, but they're also delivered in a nice mature tone and professional manner. Whenever I watch your stuff, I get the urge to play pvp.. :-)
+ppeters77 Thanks for that feedback ppeters
Awesome video TV! These sniper vid's helped me to actual score sniper kills. Love to see more!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!i really liked your how to snipe series a while ago and it really has brought my sniping game up, i get headshots on a daily now and before i was a noob
:) Thanks man.
+Isremy E. bump ditto, pretty sure like 50% of the sniping that happens in the crucible is due to your vids TV!
You forgot that you need to shadestep after every snipe for style points. :P
But in all seriousness, thanks for the video! Though, I do feel like as of recent I have naturally made this progression toward the aggressive sniper that I have always wanted to be, and it's thanks to these "sniping 101" type of videos.

The first clip is Amazing!!You are the best
+giordano brambilla haha thanks Giordano!
Man, your videos keep getting better and better, and so are my sniping skills. Thank you!
+Giuliano Casmuz Thanks Giuliano! Appreciate the feedback, I'm getting more and more versed in editing and the practice with commentary over the last year has helped too :)

Great set of videos, thanks for putting them together
Goddamn you're one of the very best destiny tubers. Thanks and I'll keep watching
Thank you for the content that you put out. It's fun to watch engram openings, but these videos actually help me to enjoy the game.
Another great video! As always...keep up the great work. Legend.

Good video as always. Thanks for all the crucible tips and info.
Rlly helpful vid :) thanks alot!! also love how you set out your vids!!! Rlly amazing shots and great tips!!
Great videos. Super helpful. Going to go practice now!
Ok that pick of the runner at B at the end was just sick.
Bro ur shots are ridiculous! I cant even listen because my mind is blown just watching lol. Awesome vids
I like this because I am not one of the hard scoping cAmping snipers. I am always pushing with my sniper. Keep up the good work
I had to stop and rethink my life after that opening clip! "This is amazing!" - in my best Shaxx voice
Thanks for the sniping guide series TV, you and the rest of REZO are badass.
That's why I live by and love primaries with single point sling.

+Scott McElveen Thanks for the feedback, Scott, I appreciate it.
Ive always been pretty decent at long range sniping but this video has helped me become so much better at using the sniper like a primary, ive been double quick scoping and ive never been good at it. :D
I can tell you're a good teacher.
Very impressive again ! - Good advice as well, thank you.
+- iza - Thanks Iza!
Great tips, glad you emphasize that you should almost never go for quick scopes unless being forced to for some good reason.
I would argue that that play at 2:00 is a pretty bad play tho :P. Teammates all around you and you went for that shade step quickie? Pffffffft, that ain't a smart play, that's show boating haha.
I honestly thought he was still down below in that tunnel area and thought I had more space, but during that shadestep I saw him. Not to mention you were in my ear giving me crap about a previous play. That's why I took the audio out :)
+True Vanguard I can see why I was giving you crap lol. That's poor awareness sir!
I believe the words I was hearing were, "That's the last time I go to help vanguard, left me out to dry waaaa waaa boohoo my kd blah blah kappa"
+True Vanguard Silly head, i never actually pronounce kappa. And I stand by my statement... you shadestep at a guy with a sniper out in a close combat area. That ain't team oriented play!
+kjhovey I don't think you understand just how desperately I have to fight for kills when you're on my team, hovey.
great vid. this videos are helping me alot little by little I'm getting better at sniping.
these are some nice tips. Keep up the good work
love your vids True Vanguard, helped me get to that next lvl of sniping. Keep up the awesome work! :)
waited so long for another sniping vid. Thanks coach!
That intro clip 😱😱😱😱😱 no words... Soooo goood
That's impressive. Good stuff!
excellent video
Most helpful one yet
Great tips man!
Really like look at you play on crucible!
love the videos man they have helped a ton
I straight jumped into sniping. Went balls to the wall, no prior training, Efrideet's Spear with Field Scout and Firefly with the Shortgaze and did just fine. Moved on to my Stare and haven't gone back. Though, I do have a Spear with Snapshot and Shortgaze on it waiting for me so...
"I will catch you in the crucible", Ain't that a threat :D
Nice tips, Vanguard.
You have made my sniping skills a whole lot better. Thank. Want to play trials with you some time
plying destiny since beta.. never picked up sniper in pvp coz i sucked. 3 days of practice and good lowbow i can land around 60% of headshots. credit goes to you mate and thanks alot.
that opening shot... oh sweet mercy.
+Daniel Bond haha, thanks Daniel. Even I was surprised I made that shot, stopped, and shook my head before moving on.
+True Vanguard it's funny because I started practicing quick scoping in the crucible on Saturday night. I have only hit a couple body shots so far, so seeing a shot like that is amazing.
Have you noticed all Hakké scopes are slightly off centre to the left?
***** FUCK YOU
+Xûr Who the fuck are you supposed to be
+Xûr Does this affect the shot at all, or does the shot still land where the scope aims? I've been doing quite well with the Aoife Rua-D and haven't noticed any suspect misses. Should probably test it for myself i guess.
The real Xur The Xur who can spell his name right apparently.
Sebbastar Nope, just slightly off centre
You won't catch me in the Crucible. If I see you, Hovey, Mana, or Tash, I'm nope-ing back to orbit. I know I don't stand a chance.
+findthereal12 too much fun to miss out on. Played a very sweaty match against deadpool and his fire team and unfortunately we had a blueberry on our side.

Great tips as always! :)
wow your really good with the no land beyond
Brah Amazing content ,keep on doing it ,u are really amazing gg brah

Great video. Thanks!
you love some half-step. me too.
finaly a good sniper guide
I remember when I first drag scoped I had my omolon eirene rr4 on rusted lands he was sitting on tube I jumped above him landed then he tried running and got him

You'll catch me in the Crucible quite literally lmao
my favorite sniper defiance of yasmin
Can you do another one about Drag scoping. I am bad at that.
that first shadestep quickscope was disgusting, true
+Henry Jarnigan Haha thanks Henry, I fet kinda dirty

does sensitivity matter?

great videos man. keep it up. they're fun to watch and they help. Feel free to use my videos as examples for good and bad.
nice video bro!
Thanks.i used to play way to aggressive with a shotgun averaging 27 kills a game but with a 1.2 k/d
Now my k/d is at 1.8 on average but my kills are down to about 17 or 18 but I'm getting there
Hey, Vanguard, I need help. I can't find your video on where you go to snipe in the cosmodrome.
What is the song played in the video? Someone help me!
Do you use ice breaker or no land beyond now since that took away special on respawn?
Link to vid where Vanguard goes to patrol to practice quick scopes?
good advice tv
TV. I've got to know, do you use kontrol freaks? If not what are your thoughts on them?
How can you half scoping?
Dude you should feature your son more in your streams and vids he is so adorable
is shortgaze or ambush scope better for this type of play style?
What are your sensitivities set to?
pretty awesome :D
Question for ya TV: Ive noticed often when Im taking damage in PvP, my Titan will almost freeze in place. I cant take cover before I die, but this never happens in PvE. Any thoughts???
What;s the song in the intro? You should add this in the description.
**waves** Can I have it too!?
Thank you!
I got one question for you... Shortgaze or Ambush
I would consider myself a seasond sniper
I really would like to play against you in a skirmish match to see just how good you truly are. You are a very talented sniper and you are very experienced as well but so am I.

so apperantly your a god armt you
What sensitivity do you snipe on? or what sensitivity do you play on in general?
you and mtashed made me the sniper I am today :'-)
2 weapons that are exotic
How r u guys not seeing he is using 2 exotics
So is sniping after watching your 5 videos any different on Xbox One?
you say see you in the crucible at the end but we all pray we dont =)
Hey VT, can u do a "best vendor sniper" video...I was eye balling that new monarchy one with snapshot...I think it looks pretty good
That's a good sniper have it my self but can not shoot of a res
+Matthew Plays the obvious 1000 yard stare is also pretty nice. will come in handy for res sniping as well
+yamaha101 yeah ...just wanted to see new snipers
yeah i know what u mean but bungie didn't give us many snipers that can res snipe. :(
+yamaha101 true...a lot of the new snipers have really high aim assist though
Lol I watched the first two minutes of this video before going into a clash game on exodus blue... Then I had the best sniping game I've ever had😀 I think I missed maybe on shot and every single one of them was either sorta close range, while something was mobile or those drag scope ones
at 00:1 MUM GET THE CAMERA!!!
