For PvP (lol) is you are using an energy auto is it better to have the energy stability perk on your chest piece or something more general like grenade cooldown?

Solo exclusive.

My strategy, but be warned I am Very Bad at this game!

1. Check for fireteams, know who is on mine and what is up with the other team. I try to avoid going up against stacked guys alone during matches so I keep aware of names to run from, and the names on my team to run toward. And I never quit because of a 3 or a 4 stack. Hurts like hell sometimes, but highly educational.

2. Start cautiously, see how the first minute goes to see if one team is rolling the other and to push hard or fall back accordingly. For instance, I always want to start a Control match by sprinting to B to either cap or attack it but I may have a bad and stupid team so I start off letting the pack lead the way so I don't end up alone, or in the front of a weak team that won't support me. If they go all different ways, I stick to whoever looks competent.

3. Grab Power ammo and bully the spawns as best as possible. I use Acrius and can reliably murder people off them when given even a little breathing room. If I'm stocked on ammo, I sit on an unclaimed Power as bait until I need it. If no one comes or they get wise, grab and go, but always circle around when they drop again. Getting kills while not dying to their Power weapons is key.

4. Crouchwalk and slide everywhere as I use longer travel routes for safety. Like with the above point, map placement and positioning myself for ideal engagement terms. Best stuff is crouched around a corner with Power, crests, a capture zone, or even a teammate who isn't crouched, there to entice enemies. I am always aware of how I want a firefight to begin and end, and try to choose the best spots to make that happen.

5. I would rather leave a match with only 3 kills and 2 deaths than 50 kills and 50 deaths. Dying is my nemesis and I legit am constantly running away. If I'm even a little uncertain, I disengage. If I think an engagement even could be a trade, I disengage and start over. Zero chill in me about dying. I tyrannically avoid it.

6. This is hard to describe but, I don't play the same game as everyone else. They get queued in and think about points and time limits and objectives as the whole. I only incorporate those aspects as I determine them to be an assistance to my game, which is exclusively to personally perform. My only job is to have a high efficiency, and in doing so I will be a help to my team (probably why I go Diamond in Clash with zero thought or effort). I don't ignore, but I don't let objectives dictate what I do or how I do, which permits me to be successful which puts me into a place to play to said objectives.

I see success in pvp boiling down to 15% skill, 80% being able to out think the enemy, and 5% luck. I'm only clocking 4% skill and 2% luck, so I utterly rely upon other players not doing the things I just listed.


TL;DR play like a weak little oval office who gets REEEEEEE at dying.

Does KR work with energy weapons?

Do you use a mod that reduces energy weapon recoil?

I will say I've had my best results on a hunter using a similar setup, but I like titan more so I'm torn

KR works with Energy and Power also, yes.

Yeah, I use an Energy recoil mod. Individual guns may not need mods (Antiope, and I have Kinetic mod equipped) I prefer them in case I want to use different weapons, and to just clean up the bullet spray however slightly. I don't think they're critical at all but I'm partial.

I haven't touched Titan yet in pvp but I ended up almost as much a Titan as a Hunter in D1 so it'll happen. The way people talk, it still seems as fun as hell to run Striker. I'm sure Sunbro and Captain aren't all bad, either.

Is Reddit planning on torching Bungie’s office? They are really getting unruly over the microtransactions. I don’t think getting rid of Eververse will change much. I don’t want cosmetics diluting the loot pool.

Bungie should just do what COD WW2 does and give out loot boxes on a regular basis, along with missions that reward them as well.

Itd be cool if the loot didn't suck i think,

Getting 5 blues to delete after every strike is really boring compared to getting an eyasluna that might be good

Gunsmith parts from dismantles give a guaranteed chance at a MW on rank, Legendary engrams drop often, and Vanguard requires only 20 tokens to rank and a strike drops minimum 5.

I mean I get what you're saying, but there's still good stuff happening there. I've had a few MWs drop after Crucible matches, and those are a blueapalooza too. Add in boons which you should be using because why the hell not, there's overall good opportunity for a gain to occur, and from multiple sources.

As opposed to every other NPC who all have armor in their loot pools and rank ups may not give you a weapon. He only gives weapons so all ranks with him are a guaranteed chance, yeah.

Okay, any loot drop is a guaranteed chance. Sure. But there is zero probability armor will be MW and no way to say with certainty a rank will contain a weapon except if it comes from Banshee.

It's like entering the contest to win a chance to sink a basketball from half court, or having won the contest and being guaranteed a throw.

What’s really fun is when you get a game with 8 people playing like that, just tickling each other and running away like sissies. It’s like digital grab rear end. Then your game of clash is more than halfway over and the score is only 11-8.

Cosmetics being in the pool was better than what we have now. Finishing the raid and dunking on your friends because they didn’t get the raid ship/sparrow is a time honored tradition in Destiny 1. Getting a cool ship or unique armor after doing a strike is better than 5 coins.
