Tips and Tricks
A Rumble Pit is evenly comparable to a Lone Wolves match, save that it is not ranked but social. A good strategem to work with on any given Free-for-All match is to step back, watch, wait, and charge. To blantly hurtle towards foes is a guaranteed lose. For example if it is a Guardian Slayer match, you can primarily see hordes of Spartans and Elites having at it in the main arena in the center...grab a Battle Rifle and a handful of grenades, hurl them in the arena and pick off your rivals...
Close-combat is 'always ill-advised in a Rumble Pit as it can help the leaders get easy points with better weaponry.
