Positioning basics

In Destiny 2, high ground and cover often matter more than raw aim. Fight where you have an exit route.

Use audio cues — footsteps, ability sounds, and environmental tells — before you commit to a push.

Ability timing

Cooldowns win extended fights. Track enemy abilities and punish windows when their defensive tools are down.

Burst damage is safer than prolonged trades when you are unsure of enemy loadouts.

Practice routine

Warm up in a low-stakes mode before ranked sessions. Ten minutes of aim or movement drills reduce early-match throws.

Record one fight per session and note one thing to improve — crosshair placement, spacing, or reload discipline.
