Sbmm(skill based) isn't being used right now They changed it to cbmm(connection based) My tips take or leave em I suggest making a crucible orientated build My titan build I put all melee charging orientated mods on. Using dunemarchers and top tree solar for shoulder charge. This can come in handy in many situations. I try and use it just to kill one and get a edge on another who would normally outshoot me just from them having more time to hit me In fact I was doing trials the other week, flanked and hit one, killed all three just from the damage chain But no matter what try and find what u think is best for ur play style, u might want a mobility exotic if u use shotguns, and weapon readiness if u find u don't often use abilities. Max out whatever Stat is orientated towards that and also being a titan ur gonna want to max it as well if possible. There is a charged with light mod that gives plus 20 Do not put mods towards ur super. U waste a slot for a mod to enhance ur gun play for a ability u get two maybe three times a match I'll switch my armor over to my crucible set if u see it before I play next go ahead And I noticed u have double primaries. I did this back in arrivals and it's not bad but I suggest getting used to a special. Snipers are hard to get good at but pay off Shotguns are good for most maps and I suggest a slug but thats just personal preference I love, absolutely love grenade launchers. If u do use free hand grip while in crucible, and if u have Salvo I suggest using the mod that allows u too load two shots(can't remember the name) and vorpal, just honestly how little times chain reaction is going to get u multiple kills is so little it's not worth it. But the great thing in my opinion is u can practice in pve The major aspect to it is being able to set up angle shots, which u don't need to be in crucible to prsctice.the others u need to have fast reactions with however with grenade launchers u can kill those who aren't in sight of u. It's so easy to pick off those who try and take corners to recover, and it's great at combating shotgunners. U hit the edge of the door way, it either smacks them in the face killing them or (as long as u detonate at the right time)blows near them. They mostly coming running out towards u and u can pick them off Sorry for the wall of text lol

  • It's not just you, buddy. I played Crucible tons in D1 and through Curse of Osiris. It was a blast and totally addicting. WIn or lose - most every game felt fun and "fair", and I could mess around with guns and loadouts and leave every game with a smile on my face. After returning about a month ago, to me it feels like Crucible is night-and-day different from D1 and early D2. I struggle to get a 0.5 K/D in most games, whereas before I was slightly above 1.0 K/D (which is fine for me), and have many games where I can barely even get a kill. The skill level of the people I play against just is WAY higher than before. Granted, I am probably a little older and slower than I was, but I think the main thing is that [u]the people who are playing crucible are just better than they were (and better than me)[/u]. Bad players like me really get crushed without SBMM. I am not here to "get gud" or try to make a career out of gaming. I get off work, I find a shiny new gun, and I want to hop into crucible and play a few games and try to kill people with it. I just want tot have fun. That is not possible anymore. [u]Something is wrong when the Competitive gaming modes (Glory/Elimination), which is where "sweat" belongs, are actually more relaxing that Quick Play[/u]. That's not right, and Bungie is turning off a large (most?) segment of their customer base from casual PVP. Am I generalizing? Yes - but I think I am not far off. Until SBMM returns, average and below-average players will just get beat up in Crucible. I recommend sticking with Elimination - at least you have a fair chance.

  • [quote]Sbmm(skill based) isn't being used right now They changed it to cbmm(connection based)[/quote] Well that makes a lot of sense, I get that good players want easy kills, but wow. [quote]My titan build I put all melee charging orientated mods on. Using dunemarchers and top tree solar for shoulder charge. This can come in handy in many situations. I try and use it just to kill one and get a edge on another who would normally outshoot me just from them having more time to hit me[/quote] I do actually use top tree solar, I know how easy it is to get kills with that hammer charge, it's pretty powerful. I don't own many exotics yet, including [armory]Dunemarchers[/armory] [quote]But no matter what try and find what u think is best for ur play style, u might want a mobility exotic if u use shotguns, and weapon readiness if u find u don't often use abilities. Max out whatever Stat is orientated towards that and also being a titan ur gonna want to max it as well if possible.[/quote] I like to be like... well, a Titan. Be on the front lines always capturing zones and everything, I try to aim for high resilience but I only have a Minor Resilience mod, so it can be as low as 60 sometimes. [quote]There is a charged with light mod that gives plus 20[/quote] +20 what? Stat boost? [quote]Do not put mods towards ur super. U waste a slot for a mod to enhance ur gun play for a ability u get two maybe three times a match[/quote] I think you're looking at my PVE loadout right now, but that does make sense. I have like 4 armor mods for my helmets (which I'm guessing you're looking at), and all of them have to do with Supers or finding ammo. [quote]And I noticed u have double primaries. I did this back in arrivals and it's not bad but I suggest getting used to a special. Snipers are hard to get good at but pay off Shotguns are good for most maps and I suggest a slug but thats just personal preference I love, absolutely love grenade launchers. If u do use free hand grip while in crucible, and if u have Salvo I suggest using the mod that allows u too load two shots(can't remember the name) and vorpal, just honestly how little times chain reaction is going to get u multiple kills is so little it's not worth it.[/quote] This was also for PVE, also you didn't mention, are fusion rifles good to use? I've been using the [armory]Lorentz Driver[/armory] and it's gotten me a few lucky headshots. I remember having [armory]The Chaperone[/armory] about 2 years ago when I used to play on PlayStation. I think it requires Beyond Light to get the quest now though. I'm not very good with snipers and I usually miss grenade launchers because of their short proximity detection. Nearly every shotgun I get is Rapid Fire or Lightweight, I learned from YouTube that those are trash, so I use [armory]Fractethyst[/armory] for a shotgun. [quote]Sorry for the wall of text lol[/quote] No it was helpful, even though it probably took 30 minutes out of both of our days.

    I assure you it’s nothing to do with wanting easy kills for 90% of the top players

    As for exotics try and go to xur weekly, he has synthocepts for titans right now Don't bother with resilience for crucible, if ur at 60 ur good. The extra does do anything beyond that. For crucible the only difference is being able to be two or three tapped, which can only happen when ur Stat is under 60 And yes there are two charged with light mods that have a secondary perk u need either another charged with light mod on any other armor piece or a arc mod on that armor Go to Ada daily she sells the combat mods which ur going to want for pie, a few are useful in pvp I wasn't looking at ur armor, just a rule of thumb I follow for the super mods, I put one if any, like my titan right now I think I have extra super energy on melee kills or something and the seasonal mod that go es me full health upon activation, that was just cause I filled my other slots first I can't stand shotguns, I just know fractal(whatever u know what I mean) is good this season Fusions are gonna be the same for me as well, it's a shotgun with a charge time Now as for linear fusions they are great, if u can get ur hands on a arbalest the thing has ridiculous aim assist, I believe they nerfed it and I haven't used it lately so idk if it still is I'm just putting this because I didn't know for a bit, when u fire a grenade launcher hold the trigger, when it is near ur target release to detonate(breach loaded ones) There damage area is a lot bigger than the detection area And if u want I'll be happy to join u in game and give u tips If u got cross save enabled for ur playstation that would be best cause then I can actually talk
