Easy so far (Destiny)

I'm curious what strategies people are using to complete the Jolly Holly quest, step 1: Earn 100% faction approval from Tex Mechana by playing Crucible with The Last Word equipped.

My strategies are as follows:
- Use heavies for kills.
- Pick a subclass with a super that allows for easy multikills. (Sunsinger for me)
- Let your teammates take the lead.
- Don't get close unless you are going to die.
- Keep an escape route nearby. If you are getting surrounded / overwhelmed, just run!
- If the map is a bad one for you (or if the game is going poorly) unequip TLW.
- Play control and forget about controlling the zones, just focus on kills.

It took me about 4 games or so to complete. A few more if you count the 1 or 2 matches where I unequipped TLW because I didn't know the map. I kept TLW equipped the entire game.

It's making me a better player, to be sure, but it sucks to win a game with a 2.5 K/D ratio and only net a 2% gain to my overall quest progress.

!? How does that even happen. The games where I got over 2 K/D I earned at least 15%. I had 1 game where I managed a 3.5 K/D and I think I went up 30+%.

FYI, then next step requires a crap-ton of glimmer. The step after that is easy, just get shotgun kills in the crucible - I don't think you can backwards on that step. The final step includes a 290 light level Shield Brothers strike with the requirement that you shotgun the Shield Brothers to kill them! I haven't even attempted that one yet since I'm only like 270 light currently and I think you really want 3 people for the attempt.
