What I love most about your videos is how methodological they are. You clearly are passionate and spend a lot of time thinking about them. I really appreciate that, keep up the good work!
Thanks for helping us all improve our Crucible play. After watching several of your videos I used some of the tips you talked about and won my first Rumble match (I usually come in 5th or 6th. Your teaching and skills are much appreciated!
Thanks for the tips. I'm trying to mix nightstalker and golden gun with the technique I developed from watching your videos. Your a huge help, thanks again.
When the update hits today, they are rerolling the perks on all vendor weapons.So they will have a different perk set then they do now. Sounds really cool, I wish they did this more often.
You Savage. :) Snipped the Titan at 7:03 when he was saying Hello. Thanks for the tips with knives and fall/jump on Pantheon. That was masive. I also recently fell in love with gunslinger running around with First Curse / Sniper, two trip mines and two knives with max discipline and strength (had luck with equipment for once).
A while back I watched your Nightstalker build video, and decided to try it out. That loadout, equipped with a MIDA, is the most amazing spark runner in my opinion. It's also the best at getting out of sticky situations; I've literally crossed an entire map while taking fire from all 6 enemies, and made it to the other side intact. Thanks for the awesome tips!
Amazing info, as usual, TV. Definitely watching this one a few times over. Excellent!! And thank you for taking the time out of your busy life to put videos like this together; my game has improved so much because of them.
True Vanguard, you are an amazing player. You are awesome at the game and very good at giving advice. Keep up the good UA-cam videos and Twitch streams as I enjoy them very much. Have a great day man! P.S - Your videos help very much when doing Trials.
Duude, your brain works way faster than mine in destiny. Some times I get killed and don´t even get to understand why or how, and I don´t even have time to panick xd
watching your "How To" videos always makes me think that you are playing Crucible how the devs envisioned it would (should?) be played. Perfect use of Weapon classes, equipment and subclass abilities combined with map and movement awareness. You are THE Vanguard.
True Vanguard. Thank you for this video. I really appreciate your thought out and well articulated videos and information. I envy your skill. Keep up the great content!
Your videos are excellent! I've only been in Crucible for about 2/12 hours of game-time - the sword quest has taken me there. My usual strategy consists of blind panic and getting nailed from impossible angles! I don't move around enough - that is for sure! Now if only I was 20 years younger and reaction times were better! ;)
First video I saw from you... and im amazed! I mainly play with Warlock but I love Hunters especially the Gunslinger subclass. Normally I play really aggressive, he/she or me. It works but Im not very 'happy' with that. Youre strategie is more like the style I like. And since im getting bored of playing with my Warlock (almost 22 days playtime with him >
Thank you for acknowledging your shift in thought about Heavy or rather stating your current opinion on the matter. It makes a difference. My apologies for being aggressive about it in the past. ;D Enjoyed the gameplay and the video thoroughly.
As you said the grenade/equipment play can make a huge difference. I pretty much only played striker for a long time and i became really good at cutting off choke points with my lightning grenades. It definitely helps alot.
I haven't really played my hunter since almost y1.... I should get back into it. Mained it all of y1 and then switched to warlock. Your videos on movement actually helped me a lot with mastering my warlock so I might have to give my hunter another chance.
dude ty for this advice I look forward to use it in crucible I hope you can make more videos like this to teach those who need to need more strategy's on how to react to different situations have a good day
hey True, idk if you made a video about this yet but something about reading your opponent would be great to hear how you predict what they are about to do in different situations and weapons
Great tutorial. Thank you! It reinforces a couple of things I've been trying to work on, including grenade use and super timing. I have to ask--did you get nasty-grams after that beautiful double-kill where the two guys pursued you through the door on the Phobos map? That was awesome to watch, but probably maddening to be them. :)
Hey TV! Thanks for the tips! I was wondering, me and a friend would love to play trials sometime. How do people usually get in touch with you to play trials?
True vanguard, if you like using gunslinger you should get AT/S Arachnid exotic helm. It makes your golden gun last longer and when you aim down with golden gun you zoom in further
great vid. getting wrecked in trials this week. do you do any kind of specific map videos? such as important line of site areas, how to properly maneuver or flank particular defended points etc? researching all i can to get better and really make a serious attempt at some trials.. long way to go still. lol thanks for the videos, keep em coming.
Hey True I think I was on your stream one time like when the free new dlc dropped (April update) lol you and I laughed a lot idk if you remember just wanted to say great plays and wish you the best :)
Rift is so much fun game mode. All the chaos of a 6v6 but you're team mates can't unknowingly screw you over by spawn flipping or going for that 3rd flag. Makes for some pretty fun engagements where you have the option of doing a 180 and just getting back to your team mates. Feel like a boss for having the same KD as you in rift!
I figured some of this stuff out simply by playing the game a long time, (especially trip mine grenades, lol) but learned some new stuff too, like life support isn't terrible.
Ive been using your hunter setup but with red death and bones of eao and playing with alot with my friend also with the same build its really fun we either would get like 33 kills throughout each mach with the class i used to be that bladedancer quickdraw but decided to change it up thx TV for the helpful vids respect
True Vanguard, its nice to see a destiny youtube who puts time into his videos with editing and gameplay. also i've been looking for a good, informative guy to calmly tell me what i need/want to know, and you've met my expectations perfectly, thank you for contributing to the destiny community positively, are you on PSN?
im always impressed with how TV can explain situations, but this stuff is clearly for the elite. most of his strategies require you to have incredible gun skill to begin with. you have to already be really confident with your snipes and headshots to be able to pull off anything even close to what he's doing. which is fine, its just something ive only recently realized. im pretty average at pvp, and im always thinking about sightlines and vertical space, but i could never pull of something like what he's doing because i cant consistently hit things like throwing knife headshots or quick-scope snipes, or 3 shot handcannon kills. i mean i can do it, but not consistently enough.
+COREcasual keep practicing! it's a tough process. I realized this not too long ago as well and I just keep trying and trying. I've gotten some insane throwing knives and I know it's from watching these videos. if you truly want to be great. practice makes perfect.
I drop from high ledges and as soon as my head drops below the legde I jump back up to surprise them with a shotty or fusion. Works great in melee and also in fps games with high jumps
Really nice guide. I agree with mostly everything, but you forgot one thing: Have a good internet connection. I know Destiny is very different to Call of Duty (I only play IW games) and Battlefield, but I am a decent player in both games, even with lag. I have three main playstyles: Sniper w/ supressor, ACR-like AR all-around player and UMP/Vector&Knife Runner. But not in Destiny. This is by far my worst experience with an online FPS. Call of Duty is sometimes even worst, specially with the constant bad respawns, but at least enemies aren't bullet sponges with superpowers. A few months ago I managed to do really well with my Sunsinger w/ Tlaloc, but something has changed, maybe my internet provider. Now, I can only do kind of well as an ambusher with a Sealed Ahamkara's grasps/Snare Nighstalker with Spike grenade and a Shadow price w/ Rangefinder/Perfect Balance/Counterbalance (postimg.org/image/6yh2rglpd. I'm so fond of it) + Invective. The smoke it's life-saving for me. I've managed to do reasonably OK in Iron Banner this week, but the LAG is keeping me away from PVP if I don't want a particular item from a vendor. I've reached the point when sometimes times I get happy when a get a mutual kill. It's really frustrating. Sorry for the rant. I'm subscribing to your channel, by the way.
Good vid I gotta say I think all your actions happen in the heat of the moment and then you add the flare of over describing it to make it sound like you planned 10 moves ahead when in reality you just reacted fast one step a time.
Hey TV, appreciate the tips. However, if the guy at 2:17 would've had a shotgun, what would you have done? I'm not criticizing your methods considering the fact you are a crucible GOD, but I need help on evading shotgunners.
Hey TV. Do you have a link to the video where you use the Empyrean Bellicose and the Defiance of Yasmin and when you get a sniper kill from the air you overlay the sound of a bird of prey. Was telling a friend about it and wanted to send them a link. Cheers Super

+TrueVanguard you are fantastic. such a calming person to listen too, and very intelligent. keep up the great work.
What I love most about your videos is how methodological they are. You clearly are passionate and spend a lot of time thinking about them. I really appreciate that, keep up the good work!
Nice video TV, watching it with my ten month old and at 1:13 he screamed with joy. Your bringing happiness to people of all ages.
...remember "grenades are for choke points" - True Vanguard
This comment is pointless.
+Urrz you're pointless

Not only one of the best players I've watched but a fantastic teacher of how to be better
You're insane!!! That grenade double kill where you were being chased was sick!! Love your vids man
You Savage. :) Snipped the Titan at 7:03 when he was saying Hello. Thanks for the tips with knives and fall/jump on Pantheon. That was masive.

Yeah me too:)
That double tripmine when you turned on those 2 guys reduced my life expectancy by a few years. Great commentary as always TV.
True Vanguard, you are an amazing player. You are awesome at the game and very good at giving advice. Keep up the good UA-cam videos and Twitch streams as I enjoy them very much. Have a great day man! P.S - Your videos help very much when doing Trials.

watching your vids has helped my crucible game come a long way, Thanks man...
TV the problem isn't that we can't do it. The problem is that you're too bloody good.
True Vanguard. Thank you for this video. I really appreciate your thought out and well articulated videos and information. I envy your skill. Keep up the great content!
TV, excellent video and insight. Can't watch enough of your videos.
Your videos are excellent!
I've only been in Crucible for about 2/12 hours of game-time - the sword quest has taken me there. My usual strategy consists of blind panic and getting nailed from impossible angles! I don't move around enough - that is for sure!
Now if only I was 20 years younger and reaction times were better! ;)
i was just told by a friend about your channel its fantastic i learned a lot in just a few videos
Another fantastic vid from TV; keep up the great work man, love it :)
U r exactly right he is just pure amazing
First video I saw from you...
and im amazed!
I mainly play with Warlock but I love Hunters especially the Gunslinger subclass. Normally I play really aggressive, he/she or me. It works but Im not very 'happy' with that. Youre strategie is more like the style I like. And since im getting bored of playing with my Warlock (almost 22 days playtime with him >
22 days on your Warlock?! I only have 4 (nearly 5) on my Hunter (I main as a Hunter)

I guessed as much

You run a clinic with your Gunslinger TV, its so satisfying to watch you play. Keep up the great work :)
I haven't really played my hunter since almost y1.... I should get back into it. Mained it all of y1 and then switched to warlock. Your videos on movement actually helped me a lot with mastering my warlock so I might have to give my hunter another chance.
Oh boy I miss D1. These videos give me the feels. Watching all these awesome plays 'n that, mhm.
I don't say this about too many videos, but this one is actually quite helpful. Good Job true!!
New Method to survival
"please don't leak this top secret information"
the secret to staying alive is to not die...
awesome video TrueVanguard
👏🏻👏🏻what a great tip😂
Fantastic commentary, gameplay, and tips. You gotta like and a new sub keep up the great work.
Very informative! You can't get this in-depth break downs anywhere else.
dude ty for this advice I look forward to use it in crucible I hope you can make more videos like this to teach those who need to need more strategy's on how to react to different situations
have a good day
I def think the prime mistake people make is that they always need the kill, I'm happy with assists if I survive a tough situation.
5:40 beautiful use of the tripmine. stuck him at just the right angle too
Really helpful video as usual. Great job. Learned a lot from it.
Best tips video I have seen. Really good tips dude. Subscribed

hey True, idk if you made a video about this yet but something about reading your opponent would be great to hear how you predict what they are about to do in different situations and weapons
This is my fav set up... Exactly this tho I admit I'm not this good but thanx for the tips and the motivation to practice.
Excellent tips, always. Thanks
You are the Driftor of Destiny....that's a compliment
Thanks for the tips -
From an Old guy that loves destiny 👍🏼
I subbed because your a true guardian, a true vanguard
Great tutorial. Thank you! It reinforces a couple of things I've been trying to work on, including grenade use and super timing.
I have to ask--did you get nasty-grams after that beautiful double-kill where the two guys pursued you through the door on the Phobos map? That was awesome to watch, but probably maddening to be them. :)
sweet gameplay an excellent tips for everybody! Thanks TV!!! :-)
Hey TV! Thanks for the tips! I was wondering, me and a friend would love to play trials sometime. How do people usually get in touch with you to play trials?

At 2:20 I thought you were going to chuck a nade at him. It's what I do all the time, and I survive it half the time.
Hey True I think I was on your stream one time like when the free new dlc dropped (April update) lol you and I laughed a lot idk if you remember just wanted to say great plays and wish you the best :)
Fantastic plays with that Bow ;)

HI TV!!!!!!!!!! you are a legend and I love ur vids! you inspired me to make my channel
I really do enjoy the shit outta these advice videos... THANKS TV!
Grenades; "treat it it like boxing, stick and move."
Sick dude. I think you might want to stick with gunslinger for a while! You know how to utilize that equipment!
I figured some of this stuff out simply by playing the game a long time, (especially trip mine grenades, lol) but learned some new stuff too, like life support isn't terrible.
You know you're good at crucible when you make TrueVanguard use Heavy.
5:36
Rest In Peace tripmines.
These tips really help I used to have a 0.53 kd now it's 0.87
I feel like you would be a really good teacher/professor if you pursued that path.
your gunslinger game is amazing
You know your early when the HD isn't available yet
Great video TV!
3:54 lmao he completely blocked your shot
Still got the kill tho of course haha
MAXIMUM DAMAGE OUTPUT
Morkfoosic
Destiny's PVP is one on the most frustrating things I've ever played.
Your videos and advice make it less so. Thanks.

Great tips! Thanks man!!
I've been using queenbreakers all day man can't wait for it.
Hey that's Orangeguy who waved. The one in Mr. Fruits video when he had double lightning.
Oh my god this is wat ive been waiting for! Dont you fail me goddamn it

I just subscribed. Thanks for the tips. What sensitivity do you use?

Just watching you play makes me feel like I can do better! xD great video man
I kind of watched this as "How to play a Gunslinger effectively (Tripmines!), can you do an updated guide for Bladedancers and Nightstalkers.
Hey TV, appreciate the tips. However, if the guy at 2:17 would've had a shotgun, what would you have done? I'm not criticizing your methods considering the fact you are a crucible GOD, but I need help on evading shotgunners.
Thanks this has helped a lot!
Char Aznable says, "Let the purge begin"!
Who dislikes these very informative videos?
Hey TV, great video.
Question for you, Nightstalker or Gunslinger for trials? Which do you think is superior?
TV is so good he makes Queen's Break looks sick
its amazing in the right hands. loads of ammo, low zoom scope, very high aim assist etc.
Hey TV. Do you have a link to the video where you use the Empyrean Bellicose and the Defiance of Yasmin and when you get a sniper kill from the air you overlay the sound of a bird of prey. Was telling a friend about it and wanted to send them a link. Cheers Super
