Many of our readers have been asking for tips on how to win Generator Defense. It is harder than it would seem, and connection to Bungie’s servers isn’t always the greatest, sometimes making the whole experience almost useless. But fi you are able to manage a good connection and can get in a solid game or two, these tips will help you lead your team to victory. First, we’ll look at some overall tips for both sides.
-Control the initial weapon drops
At the beginning of each round, weapons are dropped in via pods. Their locations will show for a few seconds, so find where they drop, and use these weapons early on to your advantage. They usually consist of Spartan Lasers, Rockets, and Snipers, so be sure to control these power weapons.
-Use Teamwork
Only having three players on each team, and having three generators to defend or destroy makes for an interesting game type. Strategy takes precedence over pure skill, and you must use teamwork in order to accomplish your teams objective. In this game type, wit can win over skill.
-Use the D-Pad to choose a spawn location
You are given different areas you can spawn, and this is critical for you to get to generators faster to either defend or destroy them. Make sure when you are waiting to spawn, you check every available location.
Now for a couple of Spartan specific tips.
-ALWAYS lock down the generators.
This is the absolute most critical part of winning a game of generator defense. If you do not constantly have the generators on lock down, you more than likely will not win as Spartans. I have played on teams with people that didn’t even know you could lock down the generators. This make them invulnerable to damage for a whole 30 seconds. After about a 5 second cool down, you can lock down the generator again, and keep doing this the entire round.
-Use spawning up top and DMRs to your advantage
You are given the high ground, so use it. Off of the initial spawn, have one or two guys with DMRs, and try to take out the imposing Elites before they even cross the river.
And a couple of tips for the Elites:
-You can hit generators from long range
Be sure to remember you don’t have to be standing close to a generators to do some damage to it. Use the long sight lines on the map Overlook to your advantage, and while one or two team mates attack up close, use a Needle Rifle to chip away at the generators health.
-Kill Spartans before attacking generators
If a Spartan is defending a generator, make sure to kill him before turning your attention to the generator. This may seem more like common sense, but time and time again, I see my team mates rushing in blindly, shooting at the generators and not worrying at all about the Spartan lurking right behind it with a shotgun.
Hopefully these tips will help you come out on top next time you jump into the Generator Defense hopper.
