Nice tips TV. I appreciate the clear distinction between a reckless push and a flank. I'd say I'm about 70/30 on flanks vs reckless pushes, but when the pushes get too reckless, I know my team takes the brunt of the damage.
I went flawless earlier today but it took me 37 games. I was really confused bc while I’m not a top tier player by any means, I was averaging a 2.21 KD this weekend and still not getting to the lighthouse. I kept blaming teammates as I found myself the last alive trying to clutch rounds. Eventually I realized that despite being an okay player the main reason I was last alive was bc I kept trying to do my own thing and play and position myself where I felt right, completely disregarding my teammates positions. They may not have always been the best but me leaving them alone to fight somewhere else wasn’t helping the team or myself. I found the second I let them lead and helped them by team shooting and such it became a lot easier to win. Sure I couldn’t go around on the major flanks I wanted all the time or other things but in an almost obvious way, sticking with team mates and playing at their pace made the games so much better.
Yeah I did that in a few games as well. Join a gun fight for some easy kills lol. “Run with them if they don’t run with you”. I was on a confidence card this week, fell at the gate once, and got it the second time.
This is huge. I'm not the greatest player and my aim is weak so I tend to have a lower kd, but I played a game the other day where the "best" player on my team kept losing us rounds by ignoring the objective and running off to do his own thing. I tried following him so I wouldn't be challenging the enemy team alone, and it just resulted in us losing the capture point. It doesn't matter how good your stats are: if you're not paying attention to the game state and trying to work with your team, you're not going to win consistently.
@@nefstead there more way to win the capture zone in trials. Guess your teammates try foolish push the spawn. If not then he most been push enter area to control when the zone pop’s up.
@@nefstead Learn some weak player’s may not understand what strong player trying do. This happens a lot when weak player is passive. Simply don’t understand when we get kill we push not hold back the objective.
Been solo flawless many times and yes you succeed more by playing as team. It’s true going get very bad teammates which can’t do anything about. I like pay how attention how passive or aggressive my random team is. If my teammates are running meta or running pve loadout. It makes much easier to spot players Need to keep alive. Make sure they don’t foolish try something stupid.
We appreciate you, TV! Honestly, do a sponsor every single video and it won't bother us. There's nothing more admirable than a man providing for his family.
Your wholesome, True Vandad personality wishing me to be warm and well fed every video is what keeps bringing me back. The fact that you have good, informative content is just the cherry on top.
Sidearm+pulse is such an effective combo. I never much cared for specials, and with the ammo nerf, missing a shot is too punishing for me to risk it. Pulse+sidearm or even pulse+smg makes you consistently lethal at any range
It’s not double primary, but I’ve been running forerunner + SMG and it’s incredible. Shayura/borrowed time punish apes if you just backpeddle when they push you, and the magnum’s lower zoom makes it more consistent than a sniper in the mid ranges where SMG’s start experiencing sever falloff now
I always fall back to Messenger/ Last Dance. Keeping special ammo off the field feels so underrated, if you can bait their shots you're making their specials essentially useless.
Yo pay off the house big dawg! As a dad of three I respect that you've gotta provide and if more sponsors can get you there I'm here for it. The video was good also but the life goals are what I'm hyped about
100%. I play a lot of solo (comp, trials, control) PVP and all these things are super important. I get pretty angry when we are in 3v2 and people go for solo hero pushes (essentially a 1v2 locally) and just leave the body behind and the round converts into a 2v2. It's OK to move on the map as a *unit*, team shoot and control the map as long as the enemy has no chance of turning things into a 1v2 locally or getting behind the line and getting control of the revive. Impatience loses rounds.
Do what you need to do in regards to the sponsors TV. I for one will enjoy your content just as much as I do now - even more so if I know it’s helping you and your family. Thanks as always.
That first mistake is my greatest problem for awhile. I would go out of my way to survive and dunk on my team because they died, only to realize I was now in a 1v2 or 1v3. After I started fighting more, focusing on winning with my team instead of winning by living the longest, I started to feel a lot better about my plays.
One more tip I’d say has helped me improve a lot is if you are going to hop into trials, IB, or comp alone, you need to build around fighting 2v1s or being able to confidently challenge multiple opponents. Weapons like Crimson, tarrabah, or even armor like liars handshake will allow you to make plays that don’t rely on you having to wildly out perform your opponents and will let you pull off flanks and duels where you are outnumbered or face opponents in quick succession more easily. Even if you’re a great shot, sometimes that just isn’t enough to beat good teams and being able to build around your weaknesses and enable your aggressive plays will take you far in this game!
Honestly, freelance trials is my favorite PvP mode right now. It’s not as chaotic as 6v6, it feels rewarding to optimize your build and learn how to play a specific map correctly and even if you’re losing you still get rep and engrams to focus for the specific loot you’re chasing
Really good tips TV! Another one is stay together but DONT CLUMP UP! I see some many times where entire team gets killed by a mass kill strat like the warlock's lightning surge melee combo or a super like thunder crash. Stay together but put distance. Also another one watch all angles for flankers. If 2 of teammates are watching one way look at your flank and cover them.
Thank You for the insights. As a husband and dad my play session windows are really sparce. I've found myself trying to understand how to improve as a solo PvP player and I have been making 3 out of 5 of these mistakes on a regular basis. I'm excited to put these into practice and see how I can improve as a player...especially being a Warlock main. Not sure of your content schedule but I'd love to hear your insights/opinions on airborne effectiveness. *virtual whiskey cheers/toast*
#6 don’t run out in the open and stand there like a bullseye waiting to get snipped in the first 5 seconds. Give your team a fighting chance #7 don’t go ape away from your team all the time, follow the pack somewhat but you don’t have to be glued together
Ive been running SMG + Pulse Rifle for the last year and its been the most effective playstyle Ive used since I started back in Taken King. Double primary is slept on so much, nothing sets me off more than people that just refuse to put their special weapons down.
TV you mention knowing what your super is good at, could you do a video on that. I think it's a worthwhile topic to go deeper into especially for new players who might just see clips or videos of streamers using their super.
Great video TV, will be telling many solo players to watch this video! One other mistake I see solo players doing in PVP, mostly Trials, is going in with their PVE loadout, far too many people do this, and it's very annoying.
New to pvp and these tips really help me be a better solo teammate. Thanks for such clear explanations. Ive gone from passive to headlong stupidity so trying to rein it in.
I couldn’t help but think that last guy who went down to where you were in the tunnel must have pulled a page out of my playbook. I have a hard time reading the radar sometimes and I just had to say, “I know how you feel my clueless friend.” As you dodged and laid him out.
Thanks for the great video TV! Do you have any insight for when to lead, or when to follow? This actually may be something that you just have to judge after the first round, as you’ll be able to see if your teammates like to charge solo, or if they are more cautious and are waiting for someone else to take the lead. But this is something I always question at the beginning of each match, so I thought I’d ask anyway.
I lose my mind when it's my one teammate against all three enemies in survival with two lives left, the score is 2-1, and they waste their super in a hopeless attempt to win the round. What was the plan, bud?
Tv, I really appreciate the Dad gamer perspective you give, and your phenomenal advice. I’m a dad too so I totally get trying to balance family and jobs and stuff. Keep up the great work man!
Yeah it happens a lot where I go in, kill two players and leave the last guy one shot and I look back and my teammates are all the way on the other side of the map letting all my hard work go to waist with the last guy bringing his buddies back
@@rivermahugh4575 was going to say the same. If you are not on comms, it's better to just go with the team on radar. Solo flank is OK if you have an exit plan and have confidence to execute it. When I solo on certain maps I do that just to give some radar pings, but usually the plan is to just run back to the team if the enemy things they are getting 2v3 and make a reckless push. Only worth though if you are still close enough to team mates to be able to run pack and join the fight. Also obviously doesn't work if the team mates need to be carried.
It’s such simple understanding if got the first kill. Then should push towards that body for the numbers advantage. As keeping that one guy down and allow us to get the win.
YESSSS FINALLY more crucible tips and tricks videos uugghh maaannn I miss these so much I remember their used to be a time were so many talented players were making vids like that and now its like its been yrs since then so glad to hear that very excited for this. Honestly those r my fav type of destiny video cuz I love pvp and want to see it do well and Ive taken those lessons learned and have noticed improvement from those tips so gratifying. Cant wait TV much love
It's frustrating when I play with teammates that are too passive/scared of the enemies. When an enemy is trying to push an objective, either a revive or capture point, that's when you should be doing anything you can to stop them. There's few things more annoying than seeing an enemy get revived completely uncontested while a teammate waits with a special weapon behind a corner. As a solo, I find that it's better to play aggressively from the start of the first round (not foolishly pushing but proactively getting a pick or two rather than reacting to the enemy push). This tends to influence both your team and the enemies. If you win that first round with your team being the aggressors, it makes the enemies more afraid to push and it makes your teammates more confident in pushing/being proactive. You essentially influence the enemies to be more passive/indecisive which leads to more opportunities to take control of the match. Play aggressively but smart because rushing in blindly and dying because of it will do the opposite and make your enemies more confident that they can push you.
Played tons of freelance Trials this weekend, went flawless 4 times, and dear mother of God, it was stressful… The times my mates were totally clueless, doing the same mistakes over, and over, and over again… I’ve always been ok with noobs, but noobs that literally learn nothing from previous deaths, is just unbearable 😵💫
I agree. I did 4 wins no loss and was like the gun doesn’t worth the stress. I had games and I’m like please if you die die behind cover. Please don’t die I’ll fight the other team and many times I feel bad for the enemy team. Sometimes I’ll fight someone and I see I’m not winning and I run to a different angle and they’re still in their scope on where I was. Im like if I was on your team I would be mad
This was the season I quit aping... took a long time... like 4 years. Found a Gridskipper in my vault with 1 pve kill that I took into the Crucible. I'm a changed man... primary weapons are underappreciated.
Good info. The body thing is always a problem if you are pushing. I always tell and remind myself to follow or be close to someone. Following the top gunner around and keeping him/her alive is not all that bad a job. Anyways, decent content.
The big thing I tell a lot of my less skilled friends when they try to play comp or Trials is that the number one mistake I saw grinding out solo Unbroken was people playing like Quickplay. Your life matters and you need to act like it. SO MANY people spawn, run to wherever there's red on their radar, and shoot whatever gun they have equipped until they or someone else dies. Usually them. As a result, I see a LOT of teammates who play like their goal is to shovel our reserves into the garbage as quickly as possible, and then I get one or even ZERO respawns to work with while they go out and slap a fat 1-3 out for the round. You can't just sit around forever, you DO have to fight. But unless you're just not capable of winning a 1v1 ever, you need to learn to pick your battles. Did you lose the balcony snipe-off on round one Bannerfall? Well, give it another crack, maybe your opponent was just lucky. But after the second death, STOP GOING UP THERE. Not only are you not accomplishing anything, you're preventing your teammates from maybe doing something more effective with that revive later in the round.
I was playing a match in gambit, I know, I know... Titan invades our side. he pops thunder crash. I pop nova warp jump in the air and let it go as he's passing me. Got the kill. At the time I didn't even know that was possible. I honestly feel like nova warp doesn't get enough credit in pvp.
Tom's #1 rule for all PVP modes: Do not assume your teammates will or even can back you up. Assume they are bad with zero game awareness and will get killed immediately, because that is usually the case.

The indecision is the biggest thing that drives me nuts. I play solo a lot and I'm awful but I don't just sit there. Nothing drives me nuts more than getting an opposing team down a player, I start to push and my team just stays back. It's infuriating.
The one that bothers me most is not locking down a ghost in Trials. "I got him, Coach!" Nice, now we get to kill him again because you stopped to emote, got yourself domed... aaannnd we just got ran over 🤦♂
Another easy way to pop a bubble that I found (like no lie, I found this myself one time) is Sweet Business (shouldn't know if I should share this in case it back fires😅), it takes about a mag or two (I think, IDK, haven't done it in a while) of Sweet Buisness to destroy a Ward of Darkness, hope this helps you in some way😅😁
I appreciate your tips TV! I am all for you getting sponsorship, esepically because I am from a single income family with college age kids and can't afford to financially support. I enjoy the content, and it never bothers me when videos start with an add. I hope more people understand the impact they have for you content creators!
Pretty sad that content creators who work their asses off have to feel bad about making money for their efforts. The thing is, is most of the people who complain about ads are too young to know what work and responsibilities are.
Great insight! It takes a lot to go into pvp, apply these, and then learn from your mistakes to get better. But I feel like the payoff feels so rewarding. Thanks for the tips!
It's kinda funny, I was telling my nephews, (they're 8 & 10) basically these same things. Good video, I'mma show them this. Useful info & it's kid-friendly.
I lost a trials match... Last round.... 4-4 Both my teammates had supers, the other team had none because I nova bombed the enemy when they put down well of radiance on the capture point in the round before which caught us up to 4-4 Both my teammates... In a 2v2, didn't use their supers and died. One was golden gun, the other was thunder crash
I'm seeing a lot more boudica-c gameplay in your videos recently. Is that coincidence or is there a reason? I personally think that boudica-c feels like an entirely different weapon with the sidearm buff, all together.
the huge mistake i keep making is not switching to a titan so i can get overshield or a throw a healing nade, or put down a rift as a lock, and sit in place with my pulse rifle and sidearm so i can wait for my .5 second cooldown on my abilities to be ready. i know this is a childrens game, i swallowed that pill a couple years ago but damn.
Really? Warlock is OP? Total combined warlock usage rate in trials is lower than just one hunter subclass, and you’re complaining that it’s the OP meta. This smells like coping
@@fort809 what are you on about? show me were i used the word overpowered? do not put words in my mouth, and how did you automatically jump to one thing. op meta? what? if you used that thing up top for once and think, you would understand what im implying. but i see now where you're coming from. the state of this game is clearly made for you.

#1: Even try playing Trials at all
You’re cool
This
Honestly, freelance trials is my favorite PvP mode right now. It’s not as chaotic as 6v6, it feels rewarding to optimize your build and learn how to play a specific map correctly and even if you’re losing you still get rep and engrams to focus for the specific loot you’re chasing
@@fort809 I agree! Freelance trials is the best. Then 6v6 as solo for me
Nail on the head with this one lol
I love how simple and well articulated this was. Great advice.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT FIRST TIP. Easily the most frustrating thing about PVP for me is the indecisiveness and passiveness of teammates.
The sad part is that you can't stop others teammates from doing these errors.
Really good tips TV! Another one is stay together but DONT CLUMP UP! I see some many times where entire team gets killed by a mass kill strat like the warlock's lightning surge melee combo or a super like thunder crash. Stay together but put distance.

This video was HILARIOUS!!! felt like he was talking directly to me, outing all my mistakes in trials 🤣😂
Thanks for this TV, really helpful!
Hey TV. I am Strife. Thanks for featuring me in your video! Also, thanks for the revive.
Good advices. The amount of time I lost a round when we out numbered the opponent is annoyingly high. People like to fly in for no good reason.
Love these kind of videos. Thanks
Love the bourbon shelf.
I used to make EVERY single mistake on this list. Soloing in Trials finally taught me to stop 😆😂😭
At least you're learning
If stop then you never learn from mistakes. Best watch this video again to learn what’s important.

Love the tips videos! These are fantastic TV.
Good tips. Put into words what I've often vaguely felt about primaries vs. specials.

I hate when my team has 4 points but my teammates just refuse to use their supers
This is the kind of videos that make you my hands down favorite destiny content creator
loving this video extra hard so it doesn’t tank in the algorithm of people disliking D2 right now
Thanks for the support!
Honestly, these apply to any shooter/looter game. Very valid and widely applicable. Thank you for the post!

Thanks!
“Giving up the body.” This is the number 1 thing I hate and one of the biggest reasons I lose trials matches. C’mon teammates…we got a pick!
It’s such simple understanding if got the first kill. Then should push towards that body for the numbers advantage. As keeping that one guy down and allow us to get the win.
A lot Destiny 2 players are passive. Main reason they don’t know what to do in pvp but just get a kill.
I want to play Trials so bad, but my clan is not about it. I might just need to take the plunge. Thanks for this break down!
You can go on lfg yk
Respect for taking care of your family. You do what is best for you. Btw, what pulse rifle is that?
Just started to realise I'm doing some of these things Thanks
Just wondering then but would we consider a bow as a special weapon when team shooting with primaries?
Hey TV I can't wait for those videos.

Great video! I'm never a solo player but I still feel like this was helpful even when playing with a team.
I struggle with indecision a lot. What teammate should I roll with it happens when I play with friends that I don’t play trials with regularly as well
It's frustrating when I play with teammates that are too passive/scared of the enemies. When an enemy is trying to push an objective, either a revive or capture point, that's when you should be doing anything you can to stop them. There's few things more annoying than seeing an enemy get revived completely uncontested while a teammate waits with a special weapon behind a corner.
As a solo, I find that it's better to play aggressively from the start of the first round (not foolishly pushing but proactively getting a pick or two rather than reacting to the enemy push). This tends to influence both your team and the enemies. If you win that first round with your team being the aggressors, it makes the enemies more afraid to push and it makes your teammates more confident in pushing/being proactive. You essentially influence the enemies to be more passive/indecisive which leads to more opportunities to take control of the match. Play aggressively but smart because rushing in blindly and dying because of it will do the opposite and make your enemies more confident that they can push you.
I know that I tend to push too far without cover.
Tho on the other hand, I can't overcommit to special weapons, because I'm a double primary player.
Played tons of freelance Trials this weekend, went flawless 4 times, and dear mother of God, it was stressful…
The times my mates were totally clueless, doing the same mistakes over, and over, and over again…

I agree. I did 4 wins no loss and was like the gun doesn’t worth the stress. I had games and I’m like please if you die die behind cover. Please don’t die I’ll fight the other team and many times I feel bad for the enemy team. Sometimes I’ll fight someone and I see I’m not winning and I run to a different angle and they’re still in their scope on where I was. Im like if I was on your team I would be mad
Thanks for the good advice it was very helpful love your videos
Man, honestly ive had the most fun this past weekend with freelance trials
The amount of times I’ve died from a melee/SG from behind with a teammate chasing them from several meters away trying to melee them.
Like… bruh
Just want to hang with True Vandad drinkin some good whiskey in the office lol
Ahhh ahamkaras, a man of culture 🤌🏽
This was the season I quit aping... took a long time... like 4 years. Found a Gridskipper in my vault with 1 pve kill that I took into the Crucible. I'm a changed man... primary weapons are underappreciated.
Banger clip bro. So good.
What perks and masterworks are on your sidearm and pulse rifle?
Good info. The body thing is always a problem if you are pushing. I always tell and remind myself to follow or be close to someone. Following the top gunner around and keeping him/her alive is not all that bad a job. Anyways, decent content.
Item 2 reminds me of The Office: Jim, what weapon are you using? …uhhh the sniper rifle? NOOOOooo
Nice whiskey collection! Are you going to start a channel?
The big thing I tell a lot of my less skilled friends when they try to play comp or Trials is that the number one mistake I saw grinding out solo Unbroken was people playing like Quickplay. Your life matters and you need to act like it. SO MANY people spawn, run to wherever there's red on their radar, and shoot whatever gun they have equipped until they or someone else dies. Usually them.
As a result, I see a LOT of teammates who play like their goal is to shovel our reserves into the garbage as quickly as possible, and then I get one or even ZERO respawns to work with while they go out and slap a fat 1-3 out for the round. You can't just sit around forever, you DO have to fight. But unless you're just not capable of winning a 1v1 ever, you need to learn to pick your battles.
Did you lose the balcony snipe-off on round one Bannerfall? Well, give it another crack, maybe your opponent was just lucky. But after the second death, STOP GOING UP THERE. Not only are you not accomplishing anything, you're preventing your teammates from maybe doing something more effective with that revive later in the round.
Biggest issue as a solo player in trials or comp is matchmaking..why do I have to carry two dead weights every match lol
What pulse are you using tv
I was playing a match in gambit, I know, I know... Titan invades our side. he pops thunder crash. I pop nova warp jump in the air and let it go as he's passing me. Got the kill. At the time I didn't even know that was possible. I honestly feel like nova warp doesn't get enough credit in pvp.
Where did that ship come from.
Tom's #1 rule for all PVP modes: Do not assume your teammates will or even can back you up. Assume they are bad with zero game awareness and will get killed immediately, because that is usually the case.
Good stuff!

Which one of these mistakes do your blueberries commit the most?
The indecision is the biggest thing that drives me nuts. I play solo a lot and I'm awful but I don't just sit there. Nothing drives me nuts more than getting an opposing team down a player, I start to push and my team just stays back. It's infuriating.
The one that bothers me most is not locking down a ghost in Trials. "I got him, Coach!" Nice, now we get to kill him again because you stopped to emote, got yourself domed... aaannnd we just got ran over 🤦♂
Another easy way to pop a bubble that I found (like no lie, I found this myself one time) is Sweet Business (shouldn't know if I should share this in case it back fires😅), it takes about a mag or two (I think, IDK, haven't done it in a while) of Sweet Buisness to destroy a Ward of Darkness, hope this helps you in some way😅😁
I appreciate your tips TV! I am all for you getting sponsorship, esepically because I am from a single income family with college age kids and can't afford to financially support. I enjoy the content, and it never bothers me when videos start with an add. I hope more people understand the impact they have for you content creators!
Pretty sad that content creators who work their asses off have to feel bad about making money for their efforts. The thing is, is most of the people who complain about ads are too young to know what work and responsibilities are.
TV looking after the blue berries for us, thank you
Great insight! It takes a lot to go into pvp, apply these, and then learn from your mistakes to get better. But I feel like the payoff feels so rewarding. Thanks for the tips!
It's kinda funny, I was telling my nephews, (they're 8 & 10) basically these same things. Good video, I'mma show them this. Useful info & it's kid-friendly.
Dude, not joking, I’m getting my notebook out right now for this.
Is that the Third Axiom?
Omg #2 hit me hard 😆 I legit stop the video to coment thank you so much to speak to me
I lost a trials match... Last round.... 4-4
Both my teammates had supers, the other team had none because I nova bombed the enemy when they put down well of radiance on the capture point in the round before which caught us up to 4-4
Both my teammates... In a 2v2, didn't use their supers and died.
One was golden gun, the other was thunder crash
Thank you pvp pastor!
I'm seeing a lot more boudica-c gameplay in your videos recently. Is that coincidence or is there a reason? I personally think that boudica-c feels like an entirely different weapon with the sidearm buff, all together.
the huge mistake i keep making is not switching to a titan so i can get overshield or a throw a healing nade, or put down a rift as a lock, and sit in place with my pulse rifle and sidearm so i can wait for my .5 second cooldown on my abilities to be ready. i know this is a childrens game, i swallowed that pill a couple years ago but damn.
Really? Warlock is OP? Total combined warlock usage rate in trials is lower than just one hunter subclass, and you’re complaining that it’s the OP meta. This smells like coping
@@fort809 what are you on about? show me were i used the word overpowered? do not put words in my mouth, and how did you automatically jump to one thing. op meta? what? if you used that thing up top for once and think, you would understand what im implying. but i see now where you're coming from. the state of this game is clearly made for you.
What pulse was that you were using?
Pretty sure it was the third axiom
