I know you said dont state the obvious, but work on small things to help yourself win engagements. [b]1- Be selective in your engagements[/b]. You have a pulse rifle so try to avoid close encounters. There's nothing wrong with bailing on an encounter to get the upper hand and stay alive. [b]2- Always keep your reticle at head height.[/b] This will help you get the first shot in, and will flinch the opponent a bit and hopefully help you win. This is really a huge thing that will help immensely. If you want to win against a hand cannon you NEED to land the first shots. [b]3-Always be near cover![/b] This is one people always forget, but know where your cover is and there's always a point mid gunfight where you know if you will win or lose. If you are going to lose, then bail and regroup. [b]4-Record and Watch your gameplay![/b] This is one a lot of players mess up, but record your gameplay for a few games and then watch how you play. You came here for advice. But no one here knows your playstyle or what you really do in game. If you watch your engagements with a pen and paper you can write down what you did in 1 engagement that led you to a win, and the same for a loss and use what you learn to tweak your playstyle, or at least keep yourself aware of any mistakes in the future. This can even help get your look sensitivity dialed in right. On twitch encounters where you need to snap your reticle to a players head quickly do you find yourself coming up short often? Or do you sail past their head and go to far? If you come short all the time, then bump your sensitivity up. If you sail past the head then maybe lower it a bit. If it'll help you get the first shot then you will win more engagements!! If you ever want to run some crucible hit me up. I'm on PS4, and Xbox one!
