[@Majin_Fuu]

I want to know what bitch rock is 🤣

[@chaosblades89]

On that original trials map, Eternity, the outer sphere half in the sand, on the cliff edge, is called boobie

[@BlorpGlorp]

@@Majin_Fuu if there is a bitch rock, I am hiding behind it pretty hard until my super procs. I am a hiding behind the bitch rock kind of guardian. I am one of many, we are collective, sweats hate us, we know this and persevere, because trials now accommodates us. We are a force to be annoyed with. I have videos of me winning a match being the last bitch standing behind hiding bitch rock until all of those sweats rush me when I am standing behind a bitch rock.

[@hideakidesu172]

YES

[@chris.s6768]

Step 1. Get the vex mythoclast. Step 2 play Trials of Osiris

[@brianlindauer4084]

Ok, actual comment now. One thing I do as a very mediocre player is intentionally follow the lead of any teammate who's doing well. This is especially valid if I'm struggling in that match. Then, I'll look for the guardian at the top of our team's leaderboard, and just follow, or play-off, him/her. It really can be a game changer.

[@WeaponsComplex]

I wish there were more of you because half the time I managed to murder two of them my teammates are halfway across the map. Or worse it's a 1v1 and the final teammate just runs away. And it's almost always a hunter.

[@brianlindauer4084]

@@WeaponsComplex hopefully as the player base gets more comfortable with the game mode, more people will pick up on this

[@rgcazo]

Yeah, I learned this too. It does help. I'm not very good at PvP but trying to improve by taking queues from better players :)

[@ThePowerOfOneThePowerOfTwo]

Same here. Sometimes the best players just need a couple follow up shots on an enemy to help keep them alive longer or they can use me as a diversion to get the kills necessary to win the match.

[@daddy-odestiny301]

This. And in Comp they show your deaths. I may suck but my goal is to die less than anyone else on my team (while still engaging w/ the enemy) that way no one can message me "you suck, die less". Based on a true story. LOL

[@Lolbsterbiscuit]

A tip for solo play: encourage teamwork. If your teammate makes a great play that clinches the round and they’re in team chat, tell them! “Great job awesome recovery!”, etc. Validating and acknowledging good play goes miles to encourage more team play in future rounds, even with random players

[@henrychen2144]

Use invis build and bait ur teammates 1 enemy is worth 2 teammates. This is how I solo queued to 5500 and solo flawless.

[@vanillaWoWgamer97]

I try my best in solo to be as positive as I can and it goes a long way!

[@drugastronamedalu]

if only players would use chat ;]

[@tardwrangler1019]

No

[@Colindalugia]

If only the braindead Titan played with the team. My teammate and I made some good comebacks/plays. One round was almost a won, but they could not secure the half health enemy.

[@mrsmi1ey]

I'm over halfway through, and while the advice is solid, I haven't heard "Run VoG every week until Mythoclast drops" yet.

[@maximsin66]

I really love this new trials revamp. I have not played in 3 months. Solo Queued 107 matches this week went 30 wins and 74 losses. But I loved every minute of it. And at the end went on a 4 game win streak and I won a ( 3 v 1) 2 rounds in a row.. after one of are teammates quit. I earned 6 Ascended shards. Bravo Bungie I'm gonna live in that solo queue, and get better👍

[@lewis18051]

As someone that’s a solo and didn’t play trials clutching a 1v3 is an amazing feeling

[@henrychen2144]

It's good to hear that someone with a low win rate kept playing trials even with that many losts! I wanted to hear from someone who isn't a sweat like me. I honestly thought 90 percent of people will drop out of trials again due to the lower win rates of PvE main teams...

[@ThePowerOfOneThePowerOfTwo]

@@henrychen2144 I can attest that I'm trash in the game but Trials was fun af even though I was losing most of the matches. Ran up against a few of you sweats and 3 stacks that mopped the floor with us but I know I just need to get gud lol. I normally fuckin hate PvP/ Crucible but idk trials was actually a blast. Maybe it's because people play more as a team in that game mode seeing as how there's actually some stakes (trying to go flawless)? Idk but it's great

[@lewis18051]

@@henrychen2144 the feeling you get when you and 2 randoms beat a 3 stack kept me coming back even though I knew I wasn’t going flawless and had most of the loot, it was nice to just play for the fun of it

[@grazienuevox6278]

@@henrychen2144 Trials is fun even though I also have a disgraceful winrate, well who cares about winrate. But whats annoying is people who leave trials when its not even started yet I got 2 games that started 2v3 pfft and ofcourse my teammate also left then became 3v1. I stayed because kf the loot obviously but all is good and its fun

[@johnheaton4130]

Learn the map. You will be on the same map all weekend. Load up the map and explore it before jumping into Trials, or start making notes as you play.

[@ShutchyerLips]

Or even better, Google the map name and the word "strategy". Then go into a private map to physically look at how the strategies actually look in person. This elevated my ability on any map I've done it for.

[@chrisreilly1290]

Last weekend after trial and error I found out I couldn't get to the bottom sniping spot before the other team could get to the top sniping spot so yeah learning the map is very useful

[@715cool]

the map and making notes cannot be stressful enough.. I swear... teammats be taking the same path and i'm just like... "ummm flank 'em! They're litertally doing the same thing and we're getting killed out here and my backs breaking, as an average player from holdin this team together!"

[@is5393]

Played against 2 randoms rocking a scout and bow: first thing I told my teammates was “Ape this person like you just returned to Monke”

[@AbysswalkerGray]

I've done well using the Divination bow on shotgun apes.

[@grzetim]

I was very excited when they made solo queue a thing, it was great just to experience some content that has been around since D1 that I never got to try. Yes, I'm one of those "friendless" folks who has never done a dungeon, not done trails until now, and the last raid I did was Crota the summer before D2 launched. Thanks for the tips!

[@ShutchyerLips]

Same. I felt a lot better after watching a top game designer give a presentation on solo gamers in mmo's. There are studies showing mmo's have between 35-50% solo players. You'd never know it from the loudmouths who constantly comment that you need to have friends to play. I play with clanmates sometimes, but have zero friends who play, so I main the solo experience. In more than 6k hrs of gameplay, I've soloed GM's, all dungeons, triple gilded unbroken (and dredgen), went max comp rank every season (since freelance), and had a blast the whole time. I played literally hundreds of matches in trials last weekend, and I can't properly express to you how excited I am to try out the freelance version of trials! It's going to be a painful experience, but man is going to be a good kind of pain. Plus cayde was right. There will be a ton of loot!

[@pestyoverlord]

You know he's a pro KZbinr when he hits you with the 15 min listicle. Ya love to see it.

[@devoltar]

Weird one that builds on filling out your loadout and weapon choice - You can leverage a weapon *even if you don't get kills with it*. I'm not a great sniper, but since I wasn't making much use of my sidearm, I switched to a sniper when appropriate because it changed the behavior of the enemy team just because they had the threat of getting sniped. Not only did we do better but I got some choice picks despite my potato aim. I put on Jotunn for the lols for a couple matches, and even going against players competent and avoiding it, I used that avoidance to catch them out with grenades or primary fire. Just because a weapon doesn't yield you the highest kill count, that doesn't mean it's not useful to the team or for winning (good bow players can tell you this night and day too).

[@Julian-rt9qs]

That's a smart play. not many do stuff like this. I've done this a few times myself and you're totally right. It's amazing how you can change a team's behavior just by being a POTENTIAL threat with your sniper.

[@ShutchyerLips]

Witherhoard is a prime example of this. It's not great for getting kills, but it's S tier for flushing players out of cover, forcing rotations, or simply forcing them to jump up and be destroyed by primary fire.

[@AdrianDWolfe]

@@ShutchyerLips I was coming to say exactly this. Witherhoard is one of those guns at least one team member should have. You're always gonna find someone tryna camp a spot. Area denial is so strong.

[@phalcata572]

I stress to others the affects of blue light… I’m an insomniac with daily headaches cause I video gamed through my upbringing until adulthood. If you want to feel rejuvenated and never burnt out, blue light filters are a wise decision. Great video as always.

[@jjfordingpoursoulstudios8581]

When you get picked tell your teammates who/what killed you, where they were, and what thier health status is. Nobody needs to hear you rant about how OP the "chessy crutch" of weapon is that you died to. It helps NO ONE.

[@corvusalbus7276]

I usually have at least one eye on the radar when I'm not in combat, and even in combat will glance at it as often as I can to avoid getting ambushed/flanked. A lifesaver. And ambushing the ambusher is just so satisfying, when you get the chance.

[@ad_chilidawg69420]

Been with you since forsaken! Appreciate you holding in it down for the Warlocks.

[@dangerjonez21]

Oh great, now I’ll be running around wondering which rock is “bitch rock” 😂

[@shadowranger125]

Awesome video. My tip would be to not be afraid to use off-meta weapons like GL's and bows if you can make them mesh with your teammates. A friend of mine used to run sniper sidearm and absolutely destroy. When we played against a team of campers a few months ago, he pulled out Monarche and it allowed us to get picks way easier. If we're playing against shotgun apes, he'll pull out Telesto or another fusion and the rest of us will use Crimson. Another friend of mine uses Rat King and Salvagers and he can make it work. A different friend was running the seasonal bow with dragonfly last weekend and it let him pull off a 1v2 clutch. What you use doesn't really matter. Build your load outs to counter your enemies' weapons, even if it means getting a little weird sometimes.

[@thegrapecrusader1399]

Lol I was on a 17 loss streak with some buddies of mine. We suck

[@UniqueHandles]

On revamped trials?? Jesus lord that’s inconceivably bad

[@FourKings13]

I feel that. I ran around 8 rounds and lost everyone single one with my two buddies. Got my first wins when one of my friends left who wasn't getting any kills each game and matchmade with at least one experienced player. One player can make or break the team. Couldn't get any wins with all my buddies but could with randos. Sucked.

[@ShutchyerLips]

Hopefully the algorithm works better this weekend instead of just feeding flawless teams wins.

[@chadr4013]

That’s it? I passed 40 straight both weekends so far

[@pompousbastard4902]

[@xavier_arai]

"The meta is the meta for a reason, but it's useless if u can't use it yourself" -me to my friend in private matches when he complains about what I use What that means is that certain weapons/strategies work better for different people and some need practice rather than the 'slap it on and slay out' mentality. The elimination playlist is really good for testing out stuff when trials isn't available

[@lewis18051]

The vex myth was the bane of my trials runs

[@xavier_arai]

@@lewis18051 I don't have it myself, but said friend did... He used it for 1 kill (as a joke) and respectfully put it away. It's solid, but needs to be countered by peak shooting and snipes... Shut downs, mostly

[@luciusarmstrong1071]

Me and my friends do a rumble match together weekly where we try out new weapons and stuff. It helps with us being able to know what each other are thinking as well as our aim and finding new angles on maps. I honestly highly recommend this.

[@itsamoggymoggworld]

Hi Fallout! I watched this video when you posted it and after sucking at trials for the longest time, myself and a friend two stacked last night and went flawless for the first time… Some of the tips you gave were playing in my head and it helped a lot. So yeah, thanks!

[@treeninja8924]

Tip that got me first flawless: if you’re a 1-2 stack and find a REALLY good player (or they’re just top of the team) shoot them a friend request! Invite them to the fire team! I went flawless because me and my friend met a good player named WrathofTheDrunk, who despite already having a flawed passage, stuck with us and helped us get 7 wins and flawless. Easiest friend invite ever.

[@robotZgamechannel]

Coordinated team-shots can take down 100x Flawless players. We had a few games were we were seriously out-skilled and were able to go flawless because we could sync our Messenger/Vigilance/Darkest pulse rifles shots together on single targets. It absolutes destroys anyone, and as FO said call-out everything. Great Video!

[@KepNaki]

The #9 tip for "Playing The Zone" is way more powerful that people will give credit for. I've had a lot of times where control basically decided the round/game, especially when the team knows they have that control. Sometimes, it's smarter to not "beat" your opponent, but to just waste their time.

[@maximsin66]

Great tips on you're videos, and the Podcast appreciate what you do.

[@seanbrown6904]

I treated it like solo-Q Overwatch, stuck with the team best i could, payed attention to where everyone was at any given time, pushed together and all that. Didn't go Flawless but I did alright for my first time. Had a few games with a local streamer too, was fun. Ended up really enjoying it.

[@SmoothBrayn]

One tip I'd add, an old one from Battlefield Days. Suppressive Fire. May be a situational tip but it's been good for me. If you know where the enemy is coming from you can pre-fire their pathway making them change routes to take longer or wound/kill them as they push an area. Had someone die next to me and buddy, I suppressed while they rezd and got a kill in the process. But it's also prevented quick pushes in the past. Very situational, but can help.

[@zhalosupercell4380]

Me and some buddies went flawless last weekend, first time for them, swapping loadouts on the fly is insanely important, dont get too attached to you loadout

[@warthogger14]

For that classic D1 vex map that was on during trials, the circular area in between the wall was referred to my buddies as Toilet Bowl, but Bitch Rock fuckin killed me.

[@Cristoast]

Following alongside the callouts, don't be afraid to give a straight up sports announcer broadcast about every move the enemy makes around your dead body, it helps them visualize their every move and not be glued to their radar the entire time. Also, alongside the "not breaking off on your own", sometimes if you can play smart and safe, a good flank can flip a stalemate match into a quick win.

[@godworthy_1138]

I almost spit my breakfast out when he said b!tch rock.

[@angrywizard3199]

I know I'm not going to go solo flawless but I really love that Bungie opened this up, and while I don't expect that they'll add matchmaking for GMs as well, this makes endgame content that much more accessible, which is really great when previously the highest I could go was dungeons and IB (speaking of dungeons, I recently got around to beating all 3 and while I'm loving the Reckoning guns in prophecy, I hope POH and Shattered get the same treatment, maybe even with unique Hive- and Taken-themed weapons).

[@daneanderson7437]

1: hide at back of map with team 2: wait for all abilities/super to charge 3: advance against opposing team 4: repeat steps 1-3

[@Dragoninja35]

I always try to have a long to midrange weapon and a closer ranged weapon as my secondary for example a pulse rifle then a shotgun/smg

[@darkfire7100]

Even if this is full of stuff I’ve heard before, a refresher is always nice.

[@ziolan8970]

Here’s a legendary piece of advice. Use freaking cover. I’m not good at trials but I got matched with a ton of real newbies who’d walk into a previously used sniper lane with a handcannon this weekend. If you use more cover you’ll survive way more.

[@24Kphotography]

Another huge tip that most people don’t talk about is counting down. Know the res countdown time if a teammate gets picked. Know the countdown time if you kill an enemy. Know the countdown time on the heavy. I count the seconds down in my head and it helps me not have to be actually looking at the timer on screen.

[@stevenmielke1662]

I played a bunch solo last weekend and not once did I hear anyone else in voice chat. I'm nice too. :( The amount of info you have to decipher with no comms makes it so much more hectic, and my old man brain can't keep up very well. Played with a buddy on Monday and it was so much more relaxing just having someone else to communicate what was happening. I recommend trying out voice with your other solo teammates, if they end up being dicks that match then just opt out and try again the next. That little extra chat makes Trials less stressful and that makes it more fun. :D

[@jeffsanders8025]

@3:40 Had me close to death 😂

[@zamasu9396]

I’m not a trials person,I’m more crucible and ranked crucible…but after trying trials for the first time. And I’m going to say…I had so much fun..not because of the losses but because It got me wanting to get better!!!! Crucible and trials are two different worlds

[@csk4428]

lovely stuff fallout

[@upstartmyst3734]

I know it's an ad, but my prescription glasses have a blue light filter and I can attest to how much better it makes screen exposure for your eyes. It keeps your eyes from getting tired which keeps your from burning out as quickly

[@Kjf365]

One tip I have is to change up your strategy sometimes. If you do the same thing every round then the other team will learn what to expect from you and prepare accordingly. By changing it up you can catch them by surprise. I've won many a game by holding back for the first 3-4 rounds then once they get comfortable I go in with a rush and spank them because they weren't ready for it. Being predictable then suddenly becoming unpredictable is the biggest surprise you can take advantage of. Especially against 3 stacks because they likely think they have you all figured out being mic'd up talking about how bad your strategy is.

[@mofro415]

Utility is just as important of not more so than pure damage imo. Ran a thresh primary to make up for tier 7 int and a headstone secondary to lock out rez and and provide ability for myself and/or teammate when not even using stasis myself

[@jjkm2945]

"don't go alone" says fallout as he goes in alone.

[@CydnAlpha]

Tip 3 is crucial. So many times my rando fireteam is just gabbing while I'm calling out weapons and where hey might lane etc...

[@my_apple6922]

I mean you can pop the super to scare them an be able to revive you’re teammates a super doesn’t have to be a offense it can be defensive if they are scared enough to run away to just stay alive .

[@ashtonsalow7356]

[@vanillaWoWgamer97]

As a solo player who occasionally runs with clan mates when they wanna run. TYPE FAST AS HELL. If I was running solo and I died, I did everything I could to type what I could to help in team chat,even if they don't type back or anything, they will see it. This clutched me up a couple rounds because I was able to warn teammates what was on my body and what ammo they had left

Top three rules for a successful Trials run 1. Don’t get picked 2. Don’t get picked 3. DON’T GET PICKED

[@Sol_Invictus1997]

I rarely fall for these sponsors like manscaped or the metal wallet thingy, but those glasses made me cave. I constantly have the problem of headaches and eye dryness due to screens. Hopefully the glasses I just bought help. Thanks, Fallout! (Yes I’m aware I sound like a bot stfu) 🚶‍♂️

[@jonnyc212121]

I have to voice my tentative and situational disagreement to rule number 10. I will always remember this one game. It was right down to the wire and I was the only one left. It wasn't last weekend, but it was on burnout. I was going for a revive but I was being chased so I popped S&S and threw it behind me, then proceeded to get both revives. We won the game.

[@soschar2050]

Yesterday I managed to turn a round from a 1v3 into a win, not neccessarily by being good at PvP (my aim and positioning is atrocious) but by just rotating around the map. Basically, we were on Distant Shore, one of our teammates ran straight to the enemy spawn at C and died, my other teammate and I ran into the tunnel area, I used my rift to peek around the corner, saw all 3 enemies around it, and decided that NOPE, not going there. My teammate rushed in and died as well, but got one of them in the area where the capture point is, by that time I was already running from River to C and managed to revive my dead teammate that died at the start, while the enemies revived their dead buddy, then I manage to kill one of them with my scout rifle, see one of them camping next to the ghost waiting to res, I throw my solar grenade in there, somehow get another kill with it, but die as well. My teammate revives me, their last dude revives one of them, then my teammate threw a glacier grenade onto our dead teammate, ressing by *falling through a gap between the ice* and then they both killed the remaining enemies. The most fun Trials round I ever had, and according to these tips I played well without even realizing.

[@scoon6196]

If a player is exploiting a weakness, adapt very quickly. If that peacekeepers titan swaps to riskrunner for your stag arc buddy combo. Don't sit on that, possible switch loadout before too many rounds go by. Sure you might be down abilities, but it's better than getting boned by your own build.

[@JahalaAndala]

I've never played Trials in my 5+ years playing destiny. I think now is the time to start

Pro Tip for solo queue - stop leaving matches after losing the 1st round. I'd love to see penalties for frequent chickens because every other solo queue match had someone depart the match. At least I had a couple nice dance-offs.

What are some example weapon loadouts that you all find success with? Thanks again.

[@usurparemagnus]

This probably don’t apply to most people soloing, but if you’re good at rotating or is playing a fast moving class, you can always fake a flank on the enemy team by going the long way around. Assuming your teammates doesn’t play like idiots by engaging enemy head on without cover or running toward a sniper glint like flies to rotten food, very often you can bait the enemy team into giving up a strong position and that’s how I got my solo flawless within 10 games of trials. Literally run around and not get killed, and the enemy will try to collapse on you which very often means them giving up their strong position to chase you and thus giving your shitty teammates a better opportunity to win.

[@oCcBrutalforce]

By shitty teammates, you mean your self and your twin?

A good tip for average solo player is if you see a teammate thats cracked, become his shadow stay close... more often than not you will be a good cleanup after him. also people need to learn importance of heavy and understand that to block a rez you dont have to ape the enemy but a simple nade to the rez will give you great time to reposition closer.

I got my first flawless ever playing solo on the weekend, I really like the Trials rework.

[@gingainfinity1034]

one great tip is to calm down dont complain or tbag until the end ii get you worked up and them you play worse also tale ALL the blame on yourself or your team most things have good counters and it will allow you to look at how you can play better

[@lukesmith7081]

Love your videos man. You’re fucking hilarious but also realistic.

I got a squirrel tail working down yonder 366 days of the year, and I am not prone to suggestion, but I support your right to sell a reason to recommend my nether regions to be tight and right. Or to rock a suite carbon fiber wallet. Out of respect. Just like Hendry Hilll.

I’m not very good, but I have a funny blueberry story… I got picked off in the middle. Right by heavy. The other two guys had a 2v1 by the tunnel toward outside. The one genius teammate left the 2v1 toward middle. I assumed he was going to revive me… nope. He ignored my orb, and grabbed heavy. Teammate one got killed, so now it’s a 1v1. Dumbass got himself stuck on the ground and didn’t even get his heavy shot off… team wipe. I couldn’t believe it.

[@crackerjack2228]

tip 16. if at first you don't succeed deny you ever tried in the first place and accuse your opponent of network manipulation.

[@OthersideSparrow]

Might be a controversial tip, but here we go. If you get into a 1v3 situation, and you are not confident at all (like 0 % confident) that you will win the round, kill yourself to end the round quicker. Oftentimes, a good team will camp the rezs and try to farm super energy out of the last person alive (by not pushing too much, keeping good spacing). Sure, you will also get super energy, but none of your teammates will and the rest of the enemy team will top off their super/abilities.

Another tip i'd love to add that pretty much goes on with going after the other teams loner is... Literally... people need to learn when to push! I've played games where the opposing team is passive and the moment our team strikes first blood. The team just sits there instead of pushing... Like team push!

[@Mantis-ob3qb]

My question to you is why does most people always go to the kill box? Like this week its the tunnel or even the waterfall cave when heavy comes in to play. Do I just hang out with them an die or flank an die alone?

[@leeroyjenkins43]

Definitely party up. We played a match with a blueberry and thought he did well, lets invite him. We did and he joined, but not chat (so no communication) but he stuck with us, pushed when we pushed & we ended up going flawless. Happy days 🙁

[@Hraesvelgr_]

Love the stache

[@TenKujn]

A tip for solo players (be it pretty scummy) While queueing in orbit you can back out really quickly when you see that you match a 3 stack. I know its p scummy but if you are going for flawless this is a useful tip to even the playing field and match only other solo players. Might as well abuse it before bungie adds something that hides players in queue.

[@HumptyD-s4w]

To practice for trials I'd suggest also playing elimination in the crucible since it is pretty much the exact same thing

[@totallyafakename7476]

A tip for all: Try to stay calm, don't beat yourself about a lost round or game. It's a videogame, have fun.

[@gingainfinity1034]

and if you can stay calm you can think how can i improve in that gun fight

[@mr.TMLong]
