Some armor perks I've identified as pretty vital to PVP imo
- ____ Weapon Targeting
- Fastball (increases grenade throw distance)
- Unflinching ___ aim (reduces flinching incoming fire while aiming ___ weapon)
- Dynamo or Bomber (former reduces super when using class ability latter reduces grenade cooldown when using your class ability)
___ come in different classes/subclasses of weapon, kinetic, rifle, energy, handcannons, shotties etc choose what you're using most
Useful weapon perks for pvp:
- Rampage (kills with this weapon temporarily grant increased damage. Stacks 3x)
- Explosive head (for Bows)
- Kill Cip (Reloading after a kill grants increased damage)
- Dragonfly (Precision kills create an elemental damage explosion)
- Slideshot on Shotguns ( Sliding partially reloads this weapon's magazine and temporarily boosts range and stability. )

By DY_nasty Go To Postlfk plsI’m serious. If you have one with burst fire or full auto, they mow through mobs. You can draw, stow and reload them faster than just about everything, The damage they do is more than you’d expect, I was getting more dps & more reliable targeting than the auto rifles I had so I switched. They fire way faster than pulses, scouts or hand cannons. They target better than anything else except maybe hand cannons in the air. The only downside is you generally need to be close, but if you’re using a scout rifle then whip one out when you get rushed they absolutely melt in short range, they’ve kept me alive plenty of times.
I haven’t tested this in nightfalls so I don’t know if it falls apart there, but so far for everything else they’ve been surprisingly fun.
try it in a nightfall lol
but seriously - try any auto/scout/handcannon/pulse with outlaw and something like killclip, rampage, or dragonfly
the flinch reduction gear is too good to pass up on if you've got favorite builids

Wait for game to load and log in -> 5-10mins
Visit Shaxx to your daily bounties -> 5mins
Load up Director and wait for matchmaking to get you into Crucible match -> 5mins
Wait for match to load -> 5mins
Time Til Match (TTM): 20-25mins
First match is control on a shitty map? Rage quit

Haven’t done anything with my boosted warlock but beat the base campaign with my hunter. Trying to get him to 30. Then got to 520 PL on my Titan. Got greaves for days lol.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostIs Vestian Dynasty worthwhile? It seems like it’s supposed to be, but I’ve got a Death By Scorn, Smuggler’s Promise and Anonymous Autumn, and they all seem better.If you got the auto version of scorn, you're laughing, nothing stands a chance against that beast.
I find sidearms surprisingly useful for PvE, I took out the Chimera almost entirely with that Scorn.
I'm definitely sticking to story for a while. Tested out pvp and damn. Everyone was either an invisible ninja assassin or shooting a Holy D.Eagle. Stunned I got any kills, tbh. I'll take the carry tho.
By EldritchTrapStar Go To PostI'm definitely sticking to story for a while. Tested out pvp and damn. Everyone was either an invisible ninja assassin or shooting a Holy D.Eagle. Stunned I got any kills, tbh. I'll take the carry tho.Took two matches for me to realize gear aint shit. git good.
By alt sy Go To PostTook two matches for me to realize gear aint shit. git good.
Explains why I even charted to begin with.
I'm more interested in the events, than pvp, tbh. Do those have recommended levels or difficulty "options".
By alt sy Go To PostTook two matches for me to realize gear aint shit. git good.So much wrong with this I can't.
By alt sy Go To PostTook two matches for me to realize gear aint shit. git good.Crucible’s not balanced in such a way that you’re helpless without good gear, they set it up so if people never want to do anything else they can level up all the way through that. (Though you need to do enough pve to at least get to the missions where you unlock your subclasses).
But rarer weapons definitely kill faster and have special perks and better properties than the standard junk - more range, damage, faster reload, etc. And they can be upgraded beyond that.
The rarer armour affects your base stats - mobility, resilience, regeneration - and that’s going to be the difference between life and death in a lot of situations. When I was running around as a 2 resilience warlock I was basically a piñata. Armour also has mod slots that let you do things like get supers way faster or increase your base stats even further once you acquire said mods.
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostIf you got the auto version of scorn, you're laughing, nothing stands a chance against that beast.I did, since it fires in bursts it’s basically a hyper speed pulse rifle. The other two perks - headseeker & ricochet rounds - aren’t anything special though, so I’ll keep looking for a better roll.
I finally played some Gambit last night
If there was ever a game mode made specifically for Hunters, this is it lol. Doesn't even matter what subclass. Flankers Dreamland.

By Bold 2 in One Go To PostDid you try any of the other classes?Hunters have been screwed over for any kind of new content ever since Crota lol so its nice to see tools on display for something other than "bring a celestial nighthawk, full time revive duty, or be an orb factory". I should've said as invader - Titan was fun, but the range you're dealing with and distance to cover is the biggest hurdle. Defender worked great because you could drop a bubble right on top of turn in or a boss and just be the biggest jerk. Other than that you're just bringing the same thing to the table as anything else.
I'm really not a fan of the AOE supers for invading tbh. Dropping bombs is cool when you actually get the chance to clean up afterwards but the only time people are ever really gonna bunch together for you is against the primevil to burst down. And at that point, you're basically approaching to harass against any good team instead of trying for the kills. They'll turn and team shoot with the heaviest shit in the game that they've been saving all match. Try it if you want. You can... but either be godlike for the montage or expect to respawn.
Stalking before that? If you get chased down by a Warlock that you know is coming, you deserve to die. In any context.
Covering ground is big. I don't think people ever really give that enough attention. Even if you're invis and still being tracked by players through whatever means, it drops your aggro from all the mobs so you won't have to deal with the issue of constantly being nipped at while trying to put down the other team.
By DY_nasty Go To PostHunters have been screwed over for any kind of new content ever since Crota lolThey even took our vanguard :(
By NinjaFridge Go To PostThey even took our vanguard :(Destiny 2 is so fucking serious and they took away the one fun character with the best voice acting in the game away lol
Bungie really hates Hunters for whatever reason.
To be fair, if they killed Ikora or Zavala nobody would give a shit. Can't believe New Monarchy want Zavala's pussy ass to be king of the city or whatever.
Best weapons for PVP I've used or ran into. There's some more but my brain isn't that quick right now.

I spent quite a few games trying to make it work with Graviton Lance, and it's a wonderful gun, but my aim just isn't good enough to overcome it's low RoF in PVP.
However, I will say once I switched to a different PR (that shoots in bursts) with a RoF more suited to my skillset, I did much better because I put in the time to improve my skillset with a gun I was not good with.

Oh, for sure.
My question is where do they take the story from here? Because ultimately there's no clear indicator where the character interaction fun will come from. Zavala and Ikora are just zzz despite how good those voice actors are.

Btw speaking of Cayde you guys gotta get the ace of spades if you haven’t already. Last quest in the line will hit you in all the feels. And spoiler.
It also mentions a hunter vanguard successor.

Lots of folks are probably gonna be stuck on the steps of eliminating an invader with a handcannon and the precision kills in PVP.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostLots of folks are probably gonna be stuck on the steps of eliminating an invader with a handcannon and the precision kills in PVP.I’m still surprised I got those fairly easily lol. In my first 2 gambit matches ever I got the 5 kills. Then took me an hour in quickplay in around 6 matches to get the precision kills. I wasn’t even using one of the PvP HCs everyone recommends. Was using the only HC I had at the time. A Ten Paces with perks I’m not even sure were good for PvP.
By NinjaFridge Go To PostTo be fair, if they killed Ikora or Zavala nobody would give a shit. Can't believe New Monarchy want Zavala's pussy ass to be king of the city or whatever.It’s not like Zavala had it much easier. He had to job to random adds in Red War to put Suraya over, spent Warmind acting like a ridiculous asshole, and has to be mr. wet blanket in Forsaken. Cayde-6 only had to suffer a regular assassination, Zavala had a character assassination. Ikora’s the only one who’s made it through relatively unscathed.

By Random Ass Username Go To PostYou're fairly new right? That's why. Got to play noobs.Yep. Only started a week before Forsaken.
when it comes to handcannons, the personal feel is all that matters
aim assist on precision weapons is a funny thing - especially because destiny doesn't have ADS x/y sensitivity sliders
honestly i don't even like AoS that much. i hip fire too much to enjoy it over other stuff

I found a Swift Ride - ZOMG it’s the PDX-45! That was my absolute favourite weapon in D1. I don’t even care if it doesn’t seem like anything special in this one, I want to masterwork it anyway.
I’m on my way to getting the Broadsword, but all those rank resets will take a couple of weeks.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostBest weapons for PVP I've used or ran into. There's some more but my brain isn't that quick right now.Graviton Lance should be the exact thing for me - long range exotic pulse with super high stability & aim assist and good TTK, but I just can’t make it work. It has almost no leeway for body shots, they just tickle. It really requires solid aim to be worthwhile.

im a dick so i love git gud pvp quests that aren't predicated on grinding ranks or playing keep away bs like trials
i cherished my d1 chaperone. this was before private matches too so you couldn't boost it either. what a time
edit: yeah if you can't nail headshots throw most pulse rifles in the vault for leisure viewing hours. difference between a vigilance wing locking down a hallway and a free kill is aim
i never liked graviton lance tho. honestly i can't see myself going back to a lot of weapons after getting bows.

By reilo Go To PostThere's a Quest Step I'm on right now that wants 75 double kills in PVP. FML lolThat's for redrix broadsword not AoS.
To make you and lfk feel better (worse) i got that double kill thing in like two days.
That whole quest line is a doozy. After that it's pulse rifle precision kills then elemental kills then 25 matches in quickplay, 25 matches in rumble, 25 matches in comp.
Nope that's not Broadsword.

Which quest am I on then? It's definitely a Shaxx quest, and the order went Precision Kills -> 75 Double Plays.
By reilo Go To PostWhich quest am I on then? It's definitely a Shaxx quest, and the order went Precision Kills -> 75 Double Plays.Look at the list you do pulse twice. Final is any type, precision is headshots.
Anyway like I said before after the double kills you still got Pulse Rifle precision kills, elemental kills and 25 matches each for quickplay, comp and rumble and bounties. Time consuming stuff.

NO shit they're there you asshole. They made it to erf, you think they didn't stop along the way? Oh, what's that beside Saturn? It's the dreadnought where a fucking hive god lived and you're orbiting the same planet dipshit.
At least Cayde had a plan for Ghaul. It wasn't a good one but at least he didn't turn all emo on us.
