For those who say, "Angel of Light has been here a while now." You're right! BUT: yes warlocks had Angel of Light long before this helmet. But angel of light sacrifices the two defining skills in the sun singer subclass. In other words, something like .5% of sun singers were/are using angel of light. This gives titans the ability to use the same perk without sacrificing any skills and warlocks can't titan skate. In other words they are EXTREMELY limited in terms of their mobility while using AOL. They're really vulnerable when just hanging there. Titans can ads while zooming around a corner up in the air and have perfect accuracy. When you compare the two (AOL and Empyrean) they're radically different simply bc Titans use the perk with far fewer limitations.
in the current shotgun meta this is awesome when paired with a fusion rifle or side arm. I've been having some great games. thanks for all the awesome videos TV.
Hey Vanguard, loved the video (as always). I just want to mention that i was messing about with this build I found that using NLB with this is super fun especially accompanied by a sidearm or a frifle (thank you Hovey) :D
I really like the floating sniping use. I have like using these hold in the air gun playing since I started my warlock and unlocked angle of flight. I was glad to see that the titan got a perk like it as well. I've used it a bit on my titan, but since I got twilight Garrison, I've stuck to using that exotic armor piece instead. I also really like you're video on that game play use too. Twilight Garrison is just a great exotic piece to use in the sticky situation or can really save you do have a oops moment. great videos, keep up the good work.
I am a mediocre sniper and I enjoy this build. Especially cross map. Many a heavy have I taken out in Widows Court from the B flag across map. Plus, I consider it a challenge to help make my normal sniping better, which is has thanks to your tips and vids. Thanks TV. I have also switched to the Eirene as my primary sniper. The near zero aim assist makes firing it feel more true.
Been running this with NLB, find it incredibly effective in 6v6 game modes, but very ineffective in skirmish matches. Skirmish doubles has been better this week, due to how much harder it is for team fire to kill you on decent. Combo this helmet with the accuracy havoc pigeon has in mid air and you will throw people off in close quarters. I recommend this to anyone experienced with the NLB.
Honestly, as much as I don't like Halo 5 (coming from a long time fan of the series), I find myself playing it when I get frustrated with Destiny because many of the mechanics are similar, but it feels harder to play but easier to get into the groove. Not only that, but it translates well for me when I get back to Destiny. I'm a terrible sniper, but lately I've been picking it up in H5 and whipping some sprees with it (dragscopes, hover shots, etc). Then when I come back to Destiny, I feel like my sniping just gets a little better. I know Vanguard is on PlayStation but that's just my input. Either way, keep up the vids. They're helpful to me as well.
I've been cross map sniping with this on Momento and Cathedral of Dusk or what ever it's called. I found it awesome cause they don't expect you to be sniping from space and stay there
I tried this build with my 1000 yard stare, and I absolutely adore it. Probably the most fun I've had in the Crucible in ages, especially with an Eidolon Ally as a primary xD. Thanks for inspiring me to want to get better at sniping, my skills have improved massively since I started watching your sniping school videos. I do have one question though, how many times did you accidentally skate off the edge of a map when you aimed in? Took me a few falls to get used to it
I just landed the Empyrean from Xur and I'm leveling up my Titan. Can't wait to try this out. Great vid. Never thought about sky sniping but i can't wait to try it out. 👍👍👍
True I got the Idea of sky sniping from your video a couple of weeks ago and It worked exceptionally well for me. Here's the twist though, of our 30 person clan I'm probably the worst (Ground) sniper ever. The first game literally the first game, I got a double kill with firefly and my first team wipe with three rapid shots. So here's my outtake on this I would recommend sky sniping to people not successful on the ground as a new avenue might prove successful in the end.
Just a few questions and I know this isn't an AMA, but what do you think about large volume masks in crucible? I keep shooting through Oryx's ears (are they ears? Oryx's head prongs) and it doesn't deliver a headshot. Another question is, what are your thoughts on Conspiracy Theory-D? What setup should I use in countering long range shotties?
So, cuz I'm lazy, and don't feel like looking, do you have any sniper builds for the warlocks? Also how does target acqusition work, I've been searching around, and could never find an answer.
Hey, what is your sensativity set at? Mine is at 4 right now and it just feels like sometimes that is its a bit too sluggish for those twitch shots and Sick shots as always man!!
TV when I try this, my titan just doesn't stay still in the air so it feels like I'm jumpshotting, like he floats but won't stay still enough for my sights to steady, am I doing something wrong here or do I just have to get used to it? Cuz I'll line headshots up but they go off in random directions lol
Do you think this could work with fusion rifles too? You can start charging while still moving then ads to get the shot off with better accuracy. I'm just thinking of this as I watch so I have not tried it (and I don't have the Helmet) but I feel it could work well.
What does it look like on the opposing player's radar when you stay in the air like that? Does it take you off the radar (could be a good sniping tactic in trials)?
I was about to say I bet it's easier with the raid sniper. I should probably get more used to doing it, I feel like I wouldn't do as well with this using a 1000 yard stare. Still need to try this setup and the no land beyond one, maybe use them together haha.
+True Vanguard... Feedback: slick vid, as always, Legend.. Your tactic for implementing this skill was delivered very nicely.. I really like how you stressed about this not being a tool for novice snipers. Questions: Do you think a sunsinger warlock could be as effective when running a similar build? What do you think are some of the similarities & differences / pros & cons between both classes when Sky Sniping? Are there any specific snipers (guns) or perks on the snipers you recommend for sky sniping? Gratification: Thank you for the vids.. I always look forward to your next 1. Stay Legend.
your a great TH-cam vanguard no lie out of all the ppl I seen your the best and your op men on crucibal hopefully you go big men as a you tube gamer more then you already are see you in the crucibal guardian:)
it is my favorite configuration too on titan.. its SO good.. my kd its something about 3.23, dunno if is cuz the belicose or the hammers...still.... Ah...and can be used with a shotgun really well too...
The Sunsinger warlock also has this ability, (Angel of Light) And, I was gonna just run this until I unlocked Gift of the Sun. But, it's become quite permanent in my sniping setup.
gift of the sun is nice but I think the perk that cuases burn damage from grenades is better. combine that perk with Vikings funeral and uve got a near 1 hit firebolt grenade
very interesting but like you said can't be used by everyone... Will need to continue to practice and continue to watch your videos to improve my sniping skills before I do this :)
Can you do a video on tips to getting a higher KDR? I almost get top score all the time but my KDR is always around 1.5-2.5 except some games where its higher or lower.
But TBH you don't have skill until you can Twilight Garrison snipe! And that is what i am most proud of... Being able to TG to the right out from behind a wall and then immediately sight in and get a kill
I actually used this helmet the last couple of days ( somebody at pd recommend it might have been you) and I have to say it is not only funny but effective, I played it with nlb and a shotgun and it is quite funny if you miss or if you are low to go behind cover and jump um and shoot them and if those shotgun player don't know where you are just funny. the only two problems I had where when the enemies where almost underneath me or very close and against fusion rifle players ( yes they still exist )
+Christopher Agha It's a hell of a lot harder with a traditional scope. Your peripheral vision is way less and you spend more time in the air trying to acquire targets making you vulnerable. The omolon cqc sights are decent for sky sniping as well
No time to charge would change the site picture to much. You'd have to have god like target acquisition for that one. If you watch what he's doing its more quick scoping hitting the trigger and getting the kill than lingering.
That's bc on that shot the thrusters ran out so I was falling without the 100% accuracy. So at that point there's some randomness involved. No aim assist bidness
I do this all the time in trials😂, once I went against a streamer and my FREIND looked him up and he was cussing me out saying"that stupid fucking Titan helmet". 😂😂😂😂😂
For those who say, "Angel of Light has been here a while now." You're right! BUT: yes warlocks had Angel of Light long before this helmet.

When you compare the two (AOL and Empyrean) they're radically different simply bc Titans use the perk with far fewer limitations.
That is true but with the burst flying thing you kinda kept moving when aiming in the air (warlock) so wouldn't it still work?
No not actually when a sunsinger uses AOL they technically become a hunter with a solar arc bolt so we are still just as deadly
+shadow 123 No, Warlocks can't move at the same speed as a titan skate does. They hang a lot more.
+TheHeadincharge thats why its easier for us to sky snipe. Plus we dont need to move so much anyway
+True Vanguard Ha thanks that was my question!
Forgot to mention that your videos are great and i watch and like every single one of them, keep up the good work man!
My buddies and I did this for the first time last night. It was some of the most fun and rewarding play we've done in months. Screw the meta!
in the current shotgun meta this is awesome when paired with a fusion rifle or side arm. I've been having some great games. thanks for all the awesome videos TV.
Hey Vanguard, loved the video (as always). I just want to mention that i was messing about with this build I found that using NLB with this is super fun especially accompanied by a sidearm or a frifle (thank you Hovey) :D
Moves by a true vanguard. Awesome build!!
I've decided to stop swearing and so far it's been going really well :)
+Christopher Agha That's awesome, man! Hope it goes well long term!
That's great man :)
this is awesome always looking for new and fun sniper builds

TRUE VANGUARD U ARE AWESOME IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS

Combo this helmet with the accuracy havoc pigeon has in mid air and you will throw people off in close quarters. I recommend this to anyone experienced with the NLB.
Great video. Love the airborne Titan sake around the corners. your a vertical space master! keep it up and I hope to see in the crucible! (roninfehr)
This helped me so much, thanks Vanguard again!
I AM the sky sniper. Damn it TrueVangaurd, you know that
still haven;t gone against you to prove it
Honestly, as much as I don't like Halo 5 (coming from a long time fan of the series), I find myself playing it when I get frustrated with Destiny because many of the mechanics are similar, but it feels harder to play but easier to get into the groove.

Just simply awesome.
I've been cross map sniping with this on Momento and Cathedral of Dusk or what ever it's called. I found it awesome cause they don't expect you to be sniping from space and stay there
i thought that is helmet was trash until I gave sniping with a shot and now I love the thing. thank you true vanguard

Nub question: What is Titan skating? My friend said it was using lift in a certain way for more distance.
Crazy plays man, damn I wish I had my Red Death while it was the 2 burst king... now it just disappoints
do you think this would work with the warlock as well?
Just a few questions and I know this isn't an AMA, but what do you think about large volume masks in crucible? I keep shooting through Oryx's ears (are they ears? Oryx's head prongs) and it doesn't deliver a headshot. Another question is, what are your thoughts on Conspiracy Theory-D? What setup should I use in countering long range shotties?
You should finish your q&a! Part 2 baby!
So, cuz I'm lazy, and don't feel like looking, do you have any sniper builds for the warlocks? Also how does target acqusition work, I've been searching around, and could never find an answer.
Hey, what is your sensativity set at? Mine is at 4 right now and it just feels like sometimes that is its a bit too sluggish for those twitch shots and Sick shots as always man!!
What perks do you use with the Red Death? Seems like different people say different things for what they like.
I love your channel dude keep it up!!
+TheRedStone Pickaxe Thanks! Will do!
do you think this this is viable in a competitive environment like trials or sweaties?
+hulahula Probably not against skilled players as they will learn very quickly that you like to sky snipe.
+StealthoMan nah he used it in trials and it was very effective also all aboard the fallout 4 hype train CHOO CHOO
Yeah lol I used it in Trials too and it was amazing. I can't bloody wait till Fallout 4 either. The hype is real.
i love this build with the anaitomy new monarcy sniper
TV when I try this, my titan just doesn't stay still in the air so it feels like I'm jumpshotting, like he floats but won't stay still enough for my sights to steady, am I doing something wrong here or do I just have to get used to it? Cuz I'll line headshots up but they go off in random directions lol
So aside from the raid sniper, what would be another suggestion for a sniper to use for this and in general to practice with?
Been using this since day Taken King released with striker and Titan skating so much fun
Would Icarus(increased accuracy while airborne) be an essintental perk when sky sniping?
As soon as I got this helmet I used it.... it's AMAZING! People never expect me to float up and reck them
IKR!! And some people say this helmet sucks
Video should be titled, "How to get blained immediately in crucible."
Do you think this could work with fusion rifles too? You can start charging while still moving then ads to get the shot off with better accuracy. I'm just thinking of this as I watch so I have not tried it (and I don't have the Helmet) but I feel it could work well.
Its like quick scoping. If you can charge it, then ads in the air and land the hits, then id say its extremely effective going around corners
What does it look like on the opposing player's radar when you stay in the air like that? Does it take you off the radar (could be a good sniping tactic in trials)?
+True Vanguard what's up man and how do u feel about all this Halloween stuff and what's your favorite costume/helmet
What's the maximum time you can stay in the air while aimed with this helmet?
I was about to say I bet it's easier with the raid sniper. I should probably get more used to doing it, I feel like I wouldn't do as well with this using a 1000 yard stare. Still need to try this setup and the no land beyond one, maybe use them together haha.
+True Vanguard...

Thank you for the vids..
I always look forward to your next 1. Stay Legend.
I plan to give this setup a try :) keep up the great videos TV
Wow man epic snipes!
your a great TH-cam vanguard no lie out of all the ppl I seen your the best and your op men on crucibal hopefully you go big men as a you tube gamer more then you already are see you in the crucibal guardian:)
This dude is insane
oo, new music!
it is my favorite configuration too on titan.. its SO good.. my kd its something about 3.23, dunno if is cuz the belicose or the hammers...still.... Ah...and can be used with a shotgun really well too...
My friend actually has this helmet and dose that in trials a lot and it saved us a couple of time
nice vid. also, do you max your red death for range or damage?
+Chris Spence Always put aggressive ballistics on the Red Death. It makes those 2 burst headshots possible.
I'd say balance the two. Recoil is also something to handle with Red Death
Toland The Shattered Yeah even more so now that they removed the possibility of getting those 2 bursts
do you prefere the Red Death or the Bad Juju
is this still viable on sunsinger even without titan skating?
I'm on your team atm in salvage TV. you're Killin it :)
How tf you hit that at 3:35
It looks like the sights wobble more in air even with that helmet did you see this to
The Sunsinger warlock also has this ability, (Angel of Light) And, I was gonna just run this until I unlocked Gift of the Sun. But, it's become quite permanent in my sniping setup.
gift of the sun is nice but I think the perk that cuases burn damage from grenades is better. combine that perk with Vikings funeral and uve got a near 1 hit firebolt grenade
very interesting but like you said can't be used by everyone... Will need to continue to practice and continue to watch your videos to improve my sniping skills before I do this :)
can a warlock with sunsinger float do this?
Can you do a video on tips to getting a higher KDR? I almost get top score all the time but my KDR is always around 1.5-2.5 except some games where its higher or lower.
boy its effective !!! i love it alnost as much a the twilight g
true what do you play on
on ps4. why?
+true lol
yup thank you for the link this is beast!
I used this w/ angel of light and hit 2 phantoms, a relentless and quite a few montage moments... I feel proud!!!
But TBH you don't have skill until you can Twilight Garrison snipe! And that is what i am most proud of... Being able to TG to the right out from behind a wall and then immediately sight in and get a kill
Can you make a video for crucible tips for a pve heavy player who wants to start playing crucible to create 50/50 pve/pvp
I actually used this helmet the last couple of days ( somebody at pd recommend it might have been you) and I have to say it is not only funny but effective, I played it with nlb and a shotgun and it is quite funny if you miss or if you are low to go behind cover and jump um and shoot them and if those shotgun player don't know where you are just funny. the only two problems I had where when the enemies where almost underneath me or very close and against fusion rifle players ( yes they still exist )
what's the name of this song in the intro?
Would the Icarus perk benefit from this technique??
Good question, I doubt it though
It definitely would, But the Perk itself isn't the best.
That intro tho!
nice work
i need a boss sniper what is the easiest way to get one?
Black Spindle is A guaranteed Exotic. You need A Good Light lol to solo.
Look up A vid tutorial.
Buy the 1000 yard stare for 150 legendary marks
Complete the Taken War: Earth quest and get the Thousand Yard Stare that the guy offers after completion
I like this build
What is your sensitivity?
When I first saw this helmet, this is exactly what I thought.
I have a 1000 yard stare with ambush scope would that Work?
+Christopher Agha It's a hell of a lot harder with a traditional scope. Your peripheral vision is way less and you spend more time in the air trying to acquire targets making you vulnerable. The omolon cqc sights are decent for sky sniping as well
Are you the real sky sniper? WOOW BIG FAN xD
i use this setup alot in trials
amazing vid! too bad i play my hunter almost exclusively but i can def appreciate this vid and very fun to bring another dimension to sniping :-)
Maybe I should have bought the Helmet from Xur. Ah, forget it, my Titan gets no love anyway.
This plus my nirwins mercy and ice breaker. Doooddd, easy cleanup breh..
Post a video of u doing this in sweats please
Question does anyone think queenbreakers bow would be good with this
No time to charge would change the site picture to much. You'd have to have god like target acquisition for that one. If you watch what he's doing its more quick scoping hitting the trigger and getting the kill than lingering.
Im using AOL with NLB and the Saladins Vigil and its absolutely ridiculous
@super gamer no. I was.
I need to learn how to snip so I can be op with this build.
One time I got stuck with a fusion nade so I ran up to them and killed them with their own grenade
Dem snipe skills doe power lvl 9999!! I suck at shotguns and snipers. Sidearm works very very well with me.
At least you don't use a fusion rifle
My accelerated coils omolon thesan fr4 says hi. hahahahahaha ok pls don't kill me
+Thomas Guzon lol
Nice!
dude I'm thinking of showcasing my own new build on youtube what do you think ?
thx
at 3:34 if you slow it down its obvious that wasn't a head shot.... DAT AIM ASSIST DOUGH
That's bc on that shot the thrusters ran out so I was falling without the 100% accuracy. So at that point there's some randomness involved.
No aim assist bidness
+True Vanguard k and are you going to play halo 5?
5:01 Sharingan..
lol
Hey
I wish i never play you in crucible and yet i still wanna play with you. I wanna check the difference between me and you.
I saw him in my crucible literally the day before bungie did a community spotlight on him and I had no idea who he was
true v im a bigo fan of ur
awesome to fuckin see
im a novice and still kick butt
then the whole enemy teams get ragjng mad then jus focuses on me the entire game
I do this all the time in trials😂, once I went against a streamer and my FREIND looked him up and he was cussing me out saying"that stupid fucking Titan helmet". 😂😂😂😂😂
This happened to me too
