A Rumble Pit is evenly comparable to a Lone Wolves match, save that it is not ranked but social. A good stratagem to work with on any given Free-for-All match is to step back, watch, wait, and charge. To bluntly 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. | A Rumble Pit is evenly comparable to a Lone Wolves match, save that it is not ranked but social.
