BEGINNER'S GUIDE to the Crucible (Destiny 2 PvP)

[@izeychan]

My first hour ever playing the game I decided to try crucible… I got touched

[@Awake_wl]

😭

[@ColinMarshall-oc6hc]

thats how it is bro you peak a corner and you're dead

[@Waxedem9199]

I remember my first match earlier this year dude I got absolutely smoked 😂😂

[@rase2k_]

i didnt touch crucible for almost a month after i made that mistake💀

[@ColinMarshall-oc6hc]

I love how the first tip is literally just a ramble of how the game is broken lol

[@Awake_wl]

Trust me the sooner you can understand that the better lol

[@AKEYFACTOR]

It was the best tip

[@GillmanStudio]

yup agreed. I hated PVP, then I forced my self to get 'average' to a point say where I can be placed first in a 6v6 with over 20 kills kinda average with a 1.8 kd. YET ... I can still go in the odd game and its like I never played. Mapped by Rabbits or midas, smoked by toasters, one tapped by 'I have no idea what the FF that weapon was', frozen by warlocks, sucker punched, getting the jump on players and they spin around and one tap me with something yet seemed to take no damage, the list goes on. Its like I have all that practice and Im helpless like a baby. No consistency. Often cheats maybe or lagg but i cant tell what is what, Im just dead.

[@LunarDefect]

First tip step into pvp submit to the system

[@Dylan-jx2mq]

Something I don't think you mentioned: if you need to better place an enemy on the radar, shake your camera a little bit to where it pings the different sections. So you can use that information to find where they are more accurately.

[@Awake_wl]

Yeah good point! I was just trying to hit big picture tips quickly but honestly the radar in itself could be its own video haha

[@EdwardCashin]

@@Awake_wlI’d watch that!

[@pecador_tor]

9:50 *enhanced kinetic tremors wants your location*

[@E-Mikey]

I’m gonna introduce my friend Thanos to this another day, he’s got a proven track record of helping get things perfectly balanced, we’ll get right to it!

[@terminal_2495]

Lol

[@gen8901]

Cool gonna put this to the test- *SERVER DOWNTIME*

[@Awake_wl]

Yup finally had time to make it😂

[@Voodoo_Occasions]

"The Radar is very good. If you use it you will know where all of the players are" Me: Prepares for a gunfight due to a radar ping, just to realize that it is a random clone or smoke for the 50th time.

[@wazuhh]

you can change radar opacity now - really helps making the background darker to see the red

[@pedcurso]

Man, really cool Video (and im from brazil) you english is really clear to us to understand!! Thanks!

[@859Videos]

around 4:30 you make great points, hell even watching you play I find myself compulsively looking at the radar

[@s4proling]

Very true on the balance point.

[@kurikiarizeth2990]

I think it's mostly to do with the fact that we haven't had a dedicated pvp team for years now on the dev side. Layoffs and money stuff. And as usual. pvp suffers

[@Rhapsody_]

I thought I'd give PvP another try. And I concluded that I still hate it.

[@johnsmart1827]

Great Video and Great Tips as Always mate. What Roll did you have on your Lunas Howl?

[@Awake_wl]

Slideshot opening Shot!

[@pecador_tor]

got this on recommendations, but goddamn the radar thing is so true, i played a comp game, and t i e d with the enemy team after doing that most of the game

[@MightyStarky]

Can you pass this vacuum build that you use in pvp? Do you wear any exotic armor too?

[@Manoso52]

Hey, I have an exoti mission that asks to reset my crucible rank, I absolutely despise and hate the pvp on this game but I want that mission done. Do you have any advice to rank up faster and to presetige quicker? I know they deleted the daily bounties but maybe there is an effective method to gain exp. Thanks!

[@DancePeripheryDance]

I remember the first three years of playing, I realized how titans just had it easier

[@jackbdimarco]

what’s the luna’s roll?

[@Awake_wl]

Slide/opening and pretty much max range

[@jackbdimarco]

@@Awake_wl damn my best ended up being a slide/opening but with 61 range. still solid i suppose

[@Krwlz]

​@Awake_wl I use the same roll for controller, small bore ricochet range mw. 8976 crucible defeats and counting😅. I don't think I'll ever use another hand cannon

[@th3nightlion624]

I play mouse, and turned off aim assist. I was wondering why i eas getting pasted by players with abysmal movement.

[@archawkx9352]

Thanks for another on point video 👍

[@iph2]

Do you have to play pve ? Or do I have access to all builds from start to finish

[@Awake_wl]

You’ll have to play lots of PVE

[@rocalpz]

is it possible to get a good pvp loadout without having the dlcs?

[@lssho]

Yes most definitely, what kind of weapon would you wanna use?

[@TheCaptainAstro]

“ I don’t use a HUD and I run Sunshot!” 😃👺

[@859Videos]

wii nunchuck LOL, I personally play on a Steering wheel with a 4 speed manual gear box :D

[@shaudee0]

Hey, i missed you. What is sens and dead zones? Just curious coz i decided to "cut down" my base sens without cutting my actual ads sens for example: i was on 17 0.5 then 15 0.6 and now 12 0.7(or maybe 13 0.7 im not sure yet). I got so much better with hip-fire accuracy and centering.

[@justsomeguy8778]

Good to see you back dude! Whats your Lunas roll?

[@Awake_wl]

Opening/slide shot and pretty much max range

[@andrewhines8234]

Sub earned!! Been playing since D1 beta and you are correct, game is busted as hell..fun to play because of the movement and gunplay, but imbalanced as can be! I held a 2K/d for all but this current expansion and I gotta say the nonsense that overrides and takes away from the "fun" is pretty silly at times..You are so right about just accepting it and paying attention while playing as wisely/optimally as possible.😁 Thanks for showcasing tips and tricks!

[@SamSam-ds9ny]

shout out to that one poor bastard getting spawnkilled

[@GillmanStudio]

I know it's been done before. But, I think radar needs to go. It may even be a big step towards balancing. I think it makes game play more exciting and even noobs have a change of catching a very good player out. No abilities either, or builds. Just basic gun play.

[@chalkypoet3945]

I think you need to go and find a different game then because you’re taking out the main mechanics of the game

[@jaredcarlson7108]

​@chalkypoet3945 exactly. This guy is so addicted to destiny (like myself) he can't leave, even though he desperately wants to play something else

[@jackbdimarco]

awake the 🐐 frfr

[@Guts-_-]

for anyone playing during the final shape the crucible is a fucking mess atm

[@ShadowK239]

Your gameplay makes d2 pvp easy asf 😂 Good looks king

[@codyestes6596]

“This game is easy to hit your shots” Immediately misses a LITERAL nova bomb 😂

[@Awake_wl]

Hmmm id watch the kill feed because it actually didn’t miss. Maybe that should’ve been one of the tips lol🤔

[@thepurpdoesthework]

Its funny u mention the whole “range” thing cuz I only have a problem with smgs and sidarms cuz lets face it they are basically a a mini special weapon like if u have a “normal” primary (ie auto, pulse handcannon and even a scout somtimes) all can duel fairly evenly against each other but once an smg or sidarm duels one one of the “normal” primaries they just win within like 25ish meters like even with alll the nerfs to smgs and range changes they still feel like they go like 3 meters too far. Like somtimes ill get BEAMED but a friken heliocentric from no lie like 25 meters and I’m like “THATS A SIDARM WHAT?” Ive been playing pvp for many many yrs and this has always bothered me. I mean u can still out gun them with cover and just diffing them when u can but idk its just so wierd. Honestly tho I dont have an answer and its not as bad as it used to. Just gotta play extra carful when dueling and smg or sidearm. Also I feel like radar is lowkey agesist a little just cuz it’s basically a test of how long can u flick ur eyes like a crack head over and over to have max awarness. I just wish I could see the radar perfectly in my peripheral vision but I dont so I have to literally move both eyes to the radar them back to the center of the screen to shoot over and over and over again. So annoying and I notice when Im more tired its so much harder to do. 😂😂

[@Awake_wl]

Yeah that sidearm /smg interaction is the biggest example of what I’m referring to. The close range and long range weapons are the biggest issue I have

[@lookatmyzombies9377]

Lol I hear the Ogerpon music

[@TheShein03]

Thank you for the tips, great video. Only one thing tho CoD is not like this anymore. You need to play weapons range there too, maybe not like destiny but pretty close

[@Awake_wl]

Definitely not like destiny, all games have range but destiny is crazy compared to others

[@SepticEmpire]

Literally just wondered where you been Brother what kind of voodoo magic mind reading bs is this 😂 Deadass looked up your channel and everything I refreshed then here this was

[@Awake_wl]

Loll that’s crazy haha. Yeah I’ll be uploading more again just been busy with work stuff and what not😔

[@SepticEmpire]

@@Awake_wl all good we been missing ya glad to have you back hope you have fun in final shape I can’t wait to use red death in PvP ik it’s gonna be nuts

[@jackbdimarco]

also what sens you playing on nowadays? still 16?

[@Awake_wl]

I believe 15 and .6 right now

[@SrtSlider376]

🔥🔥🎯

[@C3R3ALKILLA]

Xmas noobs…lmao. Brother, those days are gone. Everyone runs meta and crucible is inundated with sweatlords. 😂😂😂. Great vid!

[@ciscokidd6119]

Radar is garbage when people crouch 😅

[@eliasmarx92]

Yeah that game is not balanced at all. But after I got that and changed my mindset it was not that bad. 🙂

[@bartomiejlol2849]

Carry me in some pvp lol

[@maximusreed9270]

Awake saying he is an average PvPer. LMAO!

[@nutchan1500]

I really like Destiny pvp. It focuses less on aiming skill which I am absolutely terrible at it. Slow gameplay is also good for my terrible reaction time.

[@colind9110]

🐽

[@grand_valkyrie2492]

Crucible so annoying like I got to pay money to get the op guns such a stupid pay to win game

[@WegaBoy]

Really wish they just had an easy to hop into and balanced PvP mode. As someone who hasn’t played Destiny everything about it just looks like way too much to get into, like even the menu and UI looks complicated lol and As someone who actually really liked Concord’s gameplay I really wish there was a replacement for it. The only PvP game I like right now is The Finals but that gets pretty frustrating and doesn’t scratch that Concord itch for me either.
