Halo 5: Guardians - 10 Essential Tips & Tricks You Need To Know

9. Always Keep A Precision Weapon Handy (Hang Onto The Pistol)

Now more than ever, thanks to the various ways you can dart about the map, you need to ensure you can keep a bead on enemy soldiers. 'Precision weapons' (like the pistol, battle rifle, DMG etc.) are what you should always have equipped when moving around any environment. Simply put, although it's tempting to arm-up with a Fusion Cannon and Rocket Launcher combo, thanks to the new boosting mechanic you'll be useless at any long range, and you certainly can't target an enemy's emerging head that's in cover with a missile. Keep a precision weapon handy at all times and always aim for the head once their shields are down - that way you'll beat out any opposition who's relying on weapons that have any spread whatsoever when firing.
