Played 2 games using these tips and wow what a difference. I felt in control and able to successfully defend myself and my team mates by making these relatively simple techniques and tips. Thanks Man
One thing I love about your tips is that they are always practical and can be applied with practice. I still hear your voice when I keep my "reticle at head level." Now I'll be practicing "scope out and scope in" Thanks Mr Miyagi.
I think the middle part of this video details one of the most important keys to sniping, one that people for some reason seem to overlook. Knowing the map and where to place your reticle is so important for continuous sniping success. It can make adjustments a non-issue and the kill shot not only lightning quick, but very easy.
*Playing control trying to get a montage clip* *Heavy inbound, I see 3-4 enemies unaware on the box waiting as I'm in an advantageous position* *Suddenly potato aim, miss every shot then get blown up*
Damn. These are good tips. I didn't even know that I needed this advice... but it explains a lot about why I've typically preferred using my Efrideet's w/ HH and unflinching over my HB or Shadow of Veils.... It's because the slow rate of fire would force me to slow down and scope out after every engagement. I would always feel like I would just burn through ammo with my HB or SV and take more dumb, careless shots. Maybe I can go back and try them again. Good stuff TV. One of the few channels where your tips and tricks are actually pretty consistently insightful and analytical. I also liked your informal live comms too - they serve as a nice balance to the more formal tips vids.
One thing that helps is finding the perfect balance (ha) between not hesitating and panic shooting. I see a lot of people that take forever to fire the first round but after that they just spam the trigger.
Watching your videos make me realise the stupid amount of time i tried challenging 50 guys with a sniper without any nearby cover. I must be FPS-Challenged!
I have started using a sniper in my load out all of the time, even in strikes and patrol, it has definitely helped my sniping quite a bit. By the end of last IB, I kept one handy except for the tight quarters maps like Anomoly, though, oddly enough, you can use one effectively there.
Can't seem to find head level when I snipe. But your videos are promising! Keep making these. Also, some shots you make are CRAZY! So possibly make them in slow mo just to see your heavenly snipe skillz..:)
thx man... a friend of mine recommended me to watch your videos to get better at sniping... thx for the info n keep up with the videos man.. they are nice
Hey i have a little question. I looked at your videos and i find all of them offer important and good information. I have the problem that, when I am in game I often forget to use ALL the infos. I would like to know how you do it. Do you think about it during the game or you just idk, just do it ? By the way, really nice videos! I enjoy watching you play!
TV, sometimes when I'm sniping, and I scope out after getting a kill, I see multiple targets closing in on me. How do I prioritize my targets when so don't know their status, i.e. whether or not they're using a super.
***** For some reason it's not giving me the option to respond to your other comment. So I'll do it here. Used it in one of my sniping vids, gave you props, plugged your channel :)

I'm about 80% cured of panic shooting while sniping. It still happens from time to time, but normally I've had enough snipe juice (beer) that I can calm myself, haha.
So, I played against TV today in trials. Got a few headies on him and Manny. Unfortunately I ran into a case of panic shooting one time.. and it was GROSS. lol. Was a fun game.
For me I get way to over exited when in an engagement. When I get my dot on a guys head I'm like "I got this guy!" then f--- it up by twitching to the left or right or something and miss completely
+TrueVangaurd I have been trying to put into practice these tips for a while. I am getting slightly more proficient, but I still have a tendency to get over excited and mess the shot up... However, I am getting body kills with the sniper. I use to just miss and miss and miss. But now I at the very least get an assist or manage two body shots. Thanks for the advice!!!
would a LDR with perks like final round and double down be considered as a solid perk roll? and can it be great in pvp? considering the scope is a close range scope.
I have a question when I snipe I ether great into a awesome sniping kill steak or I'll just suck and I can't hit the simplest shots and like it looks like i hit the head but it hit the body and I don't get it plz help
Every time I see you use ldr or longbow I cry a little. Since I wasn't too big on sniping during the dark below I got rid of the ones I had. It was also because I HATE the scope longbow usually started with.
True vanguard has increased my skill dramatically after playing skirmish today I received a message saying how I was a good sniper just because of how much he's helped
True Vanguard I have two questions. What takes more skill, a sniper or a shotgun? And is blink shotgun just as broken as final round? The reason why I ask these questions is because a popular streamer today went on a little rant about how snipers dont take much skill because they have aim assist. So I just wanted your opinion and anyone else that wants to state theirs.
Cirilo Duarte That's a great question. I won't bad mouth shotgunners, I know that being an excellent blink/shotgunner does take skill and coordination. Buuuuuuuuuut let me ask you this. If shotgunning is harder than sniping then why, statistically speaking, are there 3 times more people with shotguns as their most used special weapon than there are people with snipers as their most used special? Shotguns are just way too forgiving. Honestly, the last time I blinked with Felwinter's Lie I ended up with 64 kills in the match. Is was way too easy. Vowed not to do it in public lobbies again. That's why you see me shotgunning only on my titan or very very rarely in trials on my warlock. I honestly feel like sniping is undeniably the more technical and precise approach to pvp.
Hey vanguard? I have an LDR with the perks surplus and firefly and I usually use the scope LV-SRL20 is this a good scope and ok pvp sniper in general? It also has field scout.
Marquis Steele I would pass on it, sounds like a great PVE sniper but not pvp. Surplus has no effect in the crucible unfortunately and firefly doesn't get you kills often enough to be worth while in my opinion. I'd get my hands on a benevolence and reroll it to perfection or even roll with shadow of veils.
Shadow of Veils is a great sniper, but the issue is that neither perk is very good, and one of the perks is completely useless in pvp. My favorite sniper to use is a her benevolence with shortgaze snapshot hidden hand and unflinching, but if you can't get a roll you like on your benevolence, the SoV is a very solid weapon.
I'm a big fan of the SoV. It's a headshot magnet and feels great to use. the replenish perk is actually really good (one perk I'd actually roll for). Only downside is that it doesn't have snapshot but if you play with a hunter with quickdraw then you're good to go. Give it a try and see how it feels etc.
+Sharky MD ok, yeah i used sov for a long time now, bit then i gave up the rerolling on my benevolence and started using it now, and it feels pretty good as well but i'd really like to have shortgaze on it
So I have a spear with final round and spray and play (I use field scout I don't final round) should I try to roll a field scout, double down and clown cartridge spear to solve the special ammo problem that is in this meta? Since I have the old spear, I can still roll old perks
most of these clips where there are multiple enemies are without getting shot at, so ur scope is pretty much still. However, ur tip of getting the rest of the enemies out of your sight using cover (thus getting you out of their sight) should help lower this.
Wow jez ur own name taken xD bit awkward that, some random person pretendig to be you, got some pretty weird bit fans out there. Keep up the good work! Also wondering how would you sight in at head lvl to someone who's below you? I know how to do above and normal, just the underneath tht gets me
+LazyData Had a couple times when they all basically lined up for me. Got two head shots. and then partly I panicked. and partly aim assist dragging my scope all over the fucking screen.
All These tutorials are cool and nice and you can learn a lot of them, but you know what WOULD be a good video? I will tell you: teaching us how to counter a team full of rushing blinkers with last words and shotty's. I mean, using my vertical space and all is great, but it doesn't really work when there is blinking last worders shooting at you and rushing you at the same time. I can use my vertical space and manage the chocke points as much as I want, when they blink through the sightlines, they are impossible to kill. So A Video to counter that would be really cool, or just a video on how to play solo against a really good opposite team (of hunters with the last words and thorns)
I have been sniping since the Beta on Destiny and I just recently started making my own edits of my clips. I have some videos on my channel, would be awesome to get some feedback.

Hey TrueVanguard, because of you, I'm getting Marksman medals more frequently and keeping my Kill Streaks alive. Thanks for all the tips and tricks
*Playing control trying to get a montage clip*

*Suddenly potato aim, miss every shot then get blown up*
LazyData We've all been there my friend
It happens everytime though :(
LazyData save your super for those times! best time to unleash
Grant Noble If I want to win. Yes I'd super. What if I want an awesome quad feed headshot spree with a sniper?
LazyData Felwinters? haha na i get ya. let me know if you get it. ill watch!
your comment about the duck and peek is also great for mentally resetting the engagement. when you duck and peek you tend to panic alot less.
Another amazing video I loved it! Keep up the great work @True Vanguard. You helped improved my sniping & gameplay style in skirmish a lot.
Damn. These are good tips.

Absolutely monster I have learned so much and finally am doing OK with snipping
love the videos you put out very helpful! they have helped my skills get better for sure!
You must have the plague, cuz that was really sick.
Awesome! Really need to work on using those chokepoints. Thanks for the video
That Titan basically sums up how I play as one
One thing that helps is finding the perfect balance (ha) between not hesitating and panic shooting.
I see a lot of people that take forever to fire the first round but after that they just spam the trigger.

5:54 sad titan, missed his shoulder charge and his t-rex melee's
Dukkydog DDO We did the dance of the awkward hippo
thx man... a friend of mine recommended me to watch your videos to get better at sniping... thx for the info n keep up with the videos man.. they are nice
Gunslinger+bones of eao+increased control is AMAZING! you need to make a class build video!
Thank you for the tips. It is really helpful :)
I think this could be very helpful to people just starting to snipe.
Hey TV, tips on sniping in short maps?? anomaly for example. close range sniping
Hey i have a little question. I looked at your videos and i find all of them offer important and good information. I have the problem that, when I am in game I often forget to use ALL the infos. I would like to know how you do it. Do you think about it during the game or you just idk, just do it ?

Can you make a video showing how you make your videos? because I think they are perfectly edited and recorded.
Awesome video! What was the name of the intro song?
a tip to be the best sniper ever: be true vanguard.
***** For some reason it's not giving me the option to respond to your other comment. So I'll do it here. Used it in one of my sniping vids, gave you props, plugged your channel :)
Omg 2 of my favourite youtubers replied to my comment my life is now complete
+True Vanguard You're awesome
Great vids very helpfull,

What is the intro music for this video and the last one before this vid?!?!?!?!?
I'm about 80% cured of panic shooting while sniping. It still happens from time to time, but normally I've had enough snipe juice (beer) that I can calm myself, haha.
kristoph17 lol snipe juice
kristoph17 or Scope Smoke
So, I played against TV today in trials. Got a few headies on him and Manny. Unfortunately I ran into a case of panic shooting one time.. and it was GROSS. lol. Was a fun game.
I don't understand why there are people that don't subscribe to you :'( I wish I had this skill! Do you ever have a bad game?
For me I get way to over exited when in an engagement. When I get my dot on a guys head I'm like "I got this guy!" then f--- it up by twitching to the left or right or something and miss completely
Duck, peek, duck, peek, duck, goose!
can I ask you how you control your aim? where do you practice that?
+TrueVangaurd I have been trying to put into practice these tips for a while. I am getting slightly more proficient, but I still have a tendency to get over excited and mess the shot up... However, I am getting body kills with the sniper. I use to just miss and miss and miss. But now I at the very least get an assist or manage two body shots. Thanks for the advice!!!
you are a legend, ty.
would a LDR with perks like final round and double down be considered as a solid perk roll? and can it be great in pvp? considering the scope is a close range scope.
What do you recommend short gaze or ambush scope?
Dude what's the intro song? It's amazing
nice vid thanks for the tips it really helps out a lot
True vanguard what is the best way to avoid enemy supers? (One warlock to another if you know what I mean)
does the praediths revenge have high aim assist? coz I get some pretty good kills with it
I have a question when I snipe I ether great into a awesome sniping kill steak or I'll just suck and I can't hit the simplest shots and like it looks like i hit the head but it hit the body and I don't get it plz help
What's your sensitivity or suggested sensitivity?
Every time I see you use ldr or longbow I cry a little. Since I wasn't too big on sniping during the dark below I got rid of the ones I had. It was also because I HATE the scope longbow usually started with.
I'm sure you have answered this question hundreds of times but, which is the name of your intro song?
When do you stream?
True vanguard has increased my skill dramatically after playing skirmish today I received a message saying how I was a good sniper just because of how much he's helped
i don't no a circle of ppl who stay sighted in an look acroos the battle field 'mental fps syndrum'
What's ur intro song?
True Vanguard I have two questions. What takes more skill, a sniper or a shotgun? And is blink shotgun just as broken as final round? The reason why I ask these questions is because a popular streamer today went on a little rant about how snipers dont take much skill because they have aim assist.

Your the best man keep it up
Nothing Manacles or Ram?
great tips thanks

I'd get my hands on a benevolence and reroll it to perfection or even roll with shadow of veils.
Intro song?
Shadow of veils or her benevolence with ambush (can't get shortgaze with snapshot) outlaw snapshot and replenish?
Shadow of Veils is a great sniper, but the issue is that neither perk is very good, and one of the perks is completely useless in pvp. My favorite sniper to use is a her benevolence with shortgaze snapshot hidden hand and unflinching, but if you can't get a roll you like on your benevolence, the SoV is a very solid weapon.

+aki-sid.95 my only issue with it is the high aim assist and i might use her benevolence for practicing as sweaping isn't a garantied headshot anymore
So I have a spear with final round and spray and play (I use field scout I don't final round) should I try to roll a field scout, double down and clown cartridge spear to solve the special ammo problem that is in this meta? Since I have the old spear, I can still roll old perks
Yeah I'd recommend doing so. A double down field scout spear will start you with 24 rounds, blowing every other sniper out of the water.
DUDE DO NOT RE ROLL- I HOPE IM NOT LATE SAYIGN THIS- u cant get double down OR field scout anymore on snipers..
PLATINUM SILV3R Mr M is correct.
+Mr M No it is actually possible as he has a pre HoW sniper, so he can still roll perks such as final round, field scout, double down, etc.
PLATINUM SILV3R as mr M said you cant get double down anymore unfortunately..
what sniper Is he using
Does quickscope perk required for this tactics?
Not really
markikswabe Nope, only one of those snipers that I used in the vid had snapshot on it. That was the LDR.
What's sniper is that?
+LazyData 😂😂😂 that's hilarious
most of these clips where there are multiple enemies are without getting shot at, so ur scope is pretty much still. However, ur tip of getting the rest of the enemies out of your sight using cover (thus getting you out of their sight) should help lower this.
Will you ever be playing with you fans on your new Xbox?
Jakub Zhan Played with a couple last night :)
True Vanguard what do we do to get on that list?
Mark Diaz-Arrastia Send a friend request to TrueVanguardYT
+True Vanguard do you have a playstation playing with subs account?
my "snapping in" is pretty damn horrible. need to get better at that....off to the cosmodrome.....those dregs gonna get snapped in on so hard!
Hey TrueVanguard, when are you getting your xbox, finally get to play with you (maybe)
my gamertag is: Immortal King02, tell us all when you get it
I'm here early I need a joke
my skill before I found true vanguard's channel
When are you getting an xbox one?
Bob Bernert Picked one up last night thanks to all the donations people made :)
TrueVanguardYT is the gamer tag. Mine was taken already.
Wow jez ur own name taken xD bit awkward that, some random person pretendig to be you, got some pretty weird bit fans out there. Keep up the good work! Also wondering how would you sight in at head lvl to someone who's below you? I know how to do above and normal, just the underneath tht gets me
+True Vanguard I added you my Xbox gamer tag is Tdawg549 I'd be honored to play with you sometime
What if I don't have thumbs. :(
fred1boot I lose my thumbs the moment more than 2 people are present :(
+LazyData Had a couple times when they all basically lined up for me. Got two head shots. and then partly I panicked. and partly aim assist dragging my scope all over the fucking screen.
Yeap. Hey all those awesome single kills you get? Now you suddenly got potato aim the moment you can get a montage clip :P
nice shooting, if I were you I'd talk a lil ish, hey when your good your good

So A Video to counter that would be really cool, or just a video on how to play solo against a really good opposite team (of hunters with the last words and thorns)
That cannot be countered unless you're doing the same thing. It's an issue with the game's meta which will hopefully be addressed in the 2.0 update.
Try 3v3 playlists. You'll still encounter it but 3 opponents are much more manageable than 6
how do u get a longbow?
I got mine from a crucible package
well I am doing what u said in the video and older video (limit the engagements to 1v1) and worked well :D soon I will make sniper montage of this
Jesus, looks like you're getting 500+ subs a day now?
Alex Knowlton Haha yeah about 300 according to my numbers. It's pretty humbling, pretty exciting. Really pumped to pass that 20,000 mark.
Is this 144p for everyone or just me?
Hezzyfish You're early, beat the 1080p render. Give it 5 minutes :)
people try to undestand that it takes time to quality grow in youtube
woo another video :D
#truevangaurdisbetter

that intro is way too loud
Have you tried her benevolence with a good perk roll?
ThePersonOnXbox I have a Benevolence, and I like it but not as much as my Longbow.
I'm sure you have answered this question hundreds of times but, which is the name of your intro song?
