When Possible, Play With Friends to Build a Solid Team
Destiny 2: Countdown Multiplayer Tips and Tricks
This isn’t to say that strangers aren’t cool. In fact, playing Crucible with a total group of unknowns in Destiny 2 is quite fun and offers a different type of challenge. But for Countdown, team makeup is much more important than it often is in other modes such as Control or Clash. As we mentioned before, this is an elimination match with objectives, so you’ll want to be able to have a solid strategy that can be adjusted on the fly. This is very difficult to do without any coordination, especially when it comes to what subclasses you and your Fireteam will actually be bringing into the match.
A team setup that I personally like is one Titan, two Warlocks, and one Hunter. You can go two Hunters and one Warlock if you prefer, as it doesn’t change the dynamic too much, but the Warlock’s class ability in conjunction with that of the Titan affords extra survivability. With the tanky ability to create walls as well as a pool that can be set to healing, you’ll have a team that isn’t easy to put down, which can really help when defending a bomb.
A Hunter during Countdown is great for offensive pushes, as long as you keep in mind that they can be squishy. Yet with support from the other classes, you can create opportunities for them to do what they do best (get into tight places and cause some havoc). When you play with strangers there’s always that chance of ending up in a team that isn’t well balanced, which can create a problem. So, whenever possible, choose your team.
