Earlier on this week I was playing some Skirmish in the Crucible. I was just trying to complete a few more matches to complete this bounty, and not one match was lost. I continued to play Skirmish and me and my team kept destroying our opposition. Why was I continuously winning in SKirmish? I recorded a bit of gameplay from a match and discovered the key points that allowed me and my team to achieve victory every time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIZ4kTFFsOc&feature=youtu.be Teamwork Sticking with your team is more important in Skirmish than in anything else. This game type relies solely on teamwork. If you're fighting beside your two other team members, you're unlikely to fail. When close to each other, reviving a downed guardian should be no problem. Someone goes down, you can easily pick them up whilst you're other team member deals with the enemies. This is especially useful when the opposing team is split up, you can take them down one by one with ease. They won't have a chance to break your defence. Ammunition Although this may seem obvious, your special and heavy ammo is extremely important. These are what give you an advantage over your enemy. No matter how strong your teamwork is, you'd be useless if all your bullets are harmlessly pinging of your enemies' armour. Your special ammo is important because when you are in a situation where you have to deal with an enemy alone, it's most likely your best shot. Pulling out a shotgun or hand cannon when you see an enemy up close would be one of the first things you'd think of, but it'd be useless without enough or any ammo at all. Heavy ammo is great. If your enemies are gathering together to launch a counter-attack, you can put them back in their place by blowing them to hell with your rocket launcher. It's your choice whether you use a rocket launcher or machine gun. Navigation You want to navigate safely through the map with your team. This means being cautious about what routes you take and how you approach them. It's always good to be on the move, especially sprinting. An enemy sniper will struggle to catch a fast-moving target. When moving around a corner, stick right to the edge so you get around it as soon as possible, you wouldn't want to get caught at the last second. Make sure you are sliding when necessary. If there is heavy gunfire and explosions around you, make sure you are either crouched behind cover or sliding out of the way. Be cautious when using lift, don't make yourself a target with it. Subclass I only have experience with a Titan, so i'm going with that. Your subclass means a lot. With the Titan class, there is Striker and Defender. Striker is the default subclass. Although there are a few similarities between Striker and Defender, there are many big differences which can have an effect on your game. Make sure that you choose the subclass that you know you are going to perform better with, and try out different upgrades to see what you play with best. This is a more detailed version of my video. As mentioned in the video above, I'm no 'pro' or anything, there are thousands that can play better than me. I made this video and thread to help increase the chances of victory for anyone playing Skirmish. Thank you for watching/reading.
