Hi Guardians,
It came to my attention that some of you struggle in pvp (mainly because I kill a lot of you there…)
So here are some tips to help you git gud !
1. It's always your fault. Don't blame it on lag (except if you are playing with your friends than it's always lag)
2. Nobody is born a killing machine, practice makes perfect.
3. Strafe, strafe, strafe…
4. Did I mention strafe ?
5. Do not run except if you can't see anyone and your radar is empty, never in hallways, small areas…
6. Close or long range, mostly your choice but depending on the map a sniper can do way better than a shotgun and vice-versa…
7. Never engage in a fight you can't possibly win, run than hide and pick them up one by one.
8. Stick with your team or in rumble stick to 2 walls one in your back and one on your side with an easy escape/hiding point.
9. Ammo is important, you'll want to pick special ammo and kill the enemies waiting for heavy.
10. Corners are your friends, hug them.
11. If you have max agility (congratulations you chose the right class), use it, jump.
12. When your super is full wait for everyone to use them and than use yours BEFORE you engage. (If you have been shot don't use it.)
13. Learn how your enemy plays, if they spread or stick together, run, throw grenades when they panic…
14. Sometimes a rare weapon does better than an exotics in the crucible (except trials of course), look at the perks before you dismantle it. ALWAYS look at those perks, the same weapon with different perks can do a massive difference.
15. You got a strangers rifle when you finished the main vanilla story line, use it.
16. Pick a target and stick with it, you're not gonna kill that bastard in your back, keep shooting.
17. To play by their rules, don't fight a hardscoping sniper, make him play by yours, find a way around or let him live his life and kill the 5 others guys out there.
18. You got tea-bagged ? You are pushing too hard they are playing on that, making you rage so you rush, you now know their strategy give them a taste of their own medicine !
19. You just got punched ? Punch then punch again immediately, there's nothing else to do.
Hope you learned something, see you in the battlefield ;)
If you have any tip feel free to share :)
EDIT: I know I'm far from being the best.
But I started this topic on the 6th of January 2016 with a K/D of 0.83, I now have a K/D of 1.05 on the 21st which isn't good by any means and I know there is a long road ahead but I call that an improvement so I'm gonna keep on adding more tips here along the road, sharing what I learned…
It might work or not, but if I happened to help one person get one more kill thanks to a simple tip I think my job would be done.

17. Do not take PvP advice from someone bellow 500k medal scare and a negative K/D.
