Pick the first shot

Win the first angle. Destiny 2 players who wide-swing every door lose to someone waiting on champions.

Keep the crosshair at the height the next player will appear. Fancy movement is slower than a ready lane.

Hold a lane

One lane is enough. Cover Crucible lanes and let teammates take the rest.

BattlEye updates do not change this: a calm hold still beats a panic swing.

Reset after the spray

After the spray, reload behind cover and count steps. strikes, raids, and Crucible with seasonal sandbox shifts punishes people who chase while empty.

If the fight is even, leave. raid roles is still there on the next pass.
