Idle conjecture (Destiny)

For better or worse, using radar to predict where someone is and working out a way to engage them as soon as they come into your line of fire is largely what Destiny's PVP is...

My advice would be:

1. Stick with a Scout Rifle for a while. Preferably a MIDA Multi-Tool. Having the radar on while zoomed in will help you get a better feel for how the radar can show you the distance and location of your enemies at all times. The longer range will help keep you out of people's shotgun range. And the need to land headshots will help with your aim... mainly because MIDA won't hardly kill anyone if you don't line up your headshots...

2. Work on getting out of harm's way the first moment you take a hit you are unable to respond to. Don't worry about turning around. Don't worry about killing. Don't worry about helping your team. I'm pretty good at the Crucible but I still have to stop myself and remind myself to break off unfavorable engagements. I play significantly better when I prioritize getting away and reengaging rather than trying to eek out the kill.

Destiny can feel really fast but beyond snipers, shotguns, and rockets you have more time and ability than you might think to toy with or evade an enemy.
