Halo 5: Guardians - 10 Essential Tips & Tricks You Need To Know
8. Almost NEVER Sprint
In any other shooter you'd be sprinting from waypoint to waypoint, but in Halo its implementation has always been way more of a risk/reward than a bonafide bonus, as it directly impacts how fast you can pull your weapon up to return fire. To remedy this - and it may sound obvious - you literally only want to sprint for very short distances when you're sure there's no one waiting around the next corner. If you find yourself wandering into any sort of area where someone could get the drop on you, stop sprinting and advance forward with a precision weapon instead. In the time it takes to draw your weapon out of a sprint, your opponent will have done enough damage to win the duel regardless.
