This is why you can't pick up heavy ammo drops after killing someone with heavy ammo any more.

Agreed but still makes me sad.

He's a Golden Gun Hunter using: Acolophage Symbiote (4 GG shots), Hawkmoon, Praedith's Revenge, and Joldner's Hammer (with what appears to be Field Scout and something that increases stability). It also looks like he's using Triple Jump, the perk that makes your GG activate more often (as opposed to combustion), and is spec'd more for armor and recovery than agility (or at least, as much as you can do that with a hunter).

That's just called playing smart and choosing the best weapons for the crucible.

Totally agreed. And now that I got a Hawkmoon two days ago, I can do the same thing! Woo-hoo! I'll be happy to break the 40 kill barrier, though. 70 still feels like a pipe dream.

Watching him play, he almost never tries to capture points. He's using them as bait only, trying to lure enemies in and kill them along paths they don't expect. It's obviously effective, but without other teammates actively capturing zones, he simply wouldn't have the success that he's having here.

I completely agree on the play style. But kills add points to the board too. In a game about reaching 20k points first you don't always have to continually cap points and sit there as bait for the other team. It's about reaching the point cap the fastest and he added 7000 points minimum in just kills.

Totally true. I'm not bagging on his play style, but I do want to point out that the guys capping points behind him are helping him immensely so he can stay on the front lines where he's most effective. Teamwork! If everyone ran out to the front like this guy, his team would get triple capped and would probably lose. That being said, his work is totally keeping pressure off of his teammates who are capturing the zones - it takes all kinds.
