Shadow, I wrote a long comment below about my controller layout if you want to highlight. I think it would be super helpful for you and any player with a 4 paddle controller.

[@gravity-arbor]

Great content. Thank you.

[@carbonspork]

Another controller tip - don't be afraid to sacrifice some emote slots to get rid of "hold" actions. I put my warlock rift on d-pad down and switch to heavy on d-pad up, the former so I can rift faster than "holding" and never accidentally rift while sliding, the latter so I don't accidentally pull out an empty heavy in a weapon swap mistake

[@andrewsmith8727]

New to trials. This sounds really helpful

[@John-qu3no]

Didn’t even think about my emotes lol. Thx dawg

[@ironprice]

You can also map emotes to the same d pad button by setting one to a long press.

back in the day there were actually games that came inverted lol... also on N64 you would use the c buttons to look up and down in games like quake and turok ...down C was look up and up C look down ...switiching to dual sticks after endless years ..playing inverted was actually easy to do ....Also walshy played inverted ...

[@apb7772]

Yea i play inverted because N64 golden eye came that way and to my recollection you could not change it - it was my first fps i played constantly. I played other but got hooked on a game with inverted controls - now i can unlearn that muscle memory

Just want to clarify that my remark at 3:55 wasn't intended to be insensitive toward colorblind people. I was just making a joke about the surprisingly high amount of players who choose to play with colorblind settings to make the radar yellow simply because they find it to be more noticeable than the red.

[@WishIdThoughtOfIt]

I use the so called color blind setting. I feel as though the yellow color stands out better than the red.

One additional console movement tip for non hunters/hunters without dodge: When you need to turn 180 to run from something you can jump backwards before turning to get backward momentum, instead of rotating in a stationary position.

[@dancecultnoir]

i think 'inverted' is for older players like myself. I always saw the right stick as like a lever to pull or push, not even sure which game started me off doing it. It is second nature to me now and steadying recoil actually feels easier as I am "pushing". You'd be surprised how many play this way, its like being left handed. So thank god the option is still available.

[@ShadowDestiny]

Very interesting! Thanks for informing me

[@stoosh98]

Same here for me. I think it was the original default and Starfox on the SNES was inverted. I remember thinking it was so odd, but now it is second nature and going the other way is odd!

[@demarais2424]

I remember playing quake and it was inverted and I believe old school duke nukem was as well not sure though

[@ClaudeHopper1969]

Most definitely for older players, especially any that played flight sims. Having said that, my 15 year old plays inverted. It can be more natural for some people as it mimics activating the muscles in neck to look up or down.

[@shaksta4]

My Uncle who got me into destiny, he's about to hit 40. He's always played inverted and I always found it so amusing. Unfortunately he's not very good at pvp. Play against him at street fighter though and you'll get your ass whooped.

[@Crushanator1]

The 1v1 private match demonstrations of what you're doing while showing your hands, and then showing the other players view in order to contrast two different techniques is SUPER helpful. I'm sure it's a pain to do vs just capturing actual pvp play, but I felt it was much more illustrative than the normal sort of background pvp play.

[@rizwansiddiqi7679]

My advice for sensitivity is keep slowly increasing it until you reach the highest sens that still allows you to consistently hit shots. You might be great on 3 or 4 sens but what you might not realize is that you can be just as accurate if not incredibly close on a sens like 7 or 8 where you then get the best of both worlds

24:27 the reason why the reticle is lower dates back to halo and the vertically of maps. Placing it lower allows the player to have more of what's important on their screen (the beautiful backgrounds) instead of half of it being filled with the ground.

[@damientom]

Playing d2 for almost 2 years on, and on controller. I was thinking about switching to m&k but after watching this video I've binded jump to R3; charged melee to R1; uncharged melee and finisher to 🅰️; and revive and aim to L2 - I am amazed at the difference especially aiming in air!

It’s something I think I’ve pretty much learned to do but not entirely consciously. So watching your video is really going to help me be more aware! Now onto improving K/D!

i came to destiny the first time in season 8 and quit in the begining of season 9. I only played pvp cuz thats the only thing i knew how to play. The game was so overwhelming i didnt even put mods on my armor cuz i didnt know. I usually play fps games like overwatch and cod and i came back to destiny in season 10 and i have been playing since. I played on console until splicer i switched to pc but now i have ssitch back cuz i bugged my crossplay and i have to wait 90 days. Originally i played on max sens and it still felt slow compared to cod but after switch to pc and coming back 10 feels way too and i am overshooting my opponents. This video helped become a better player a lot. You definitely deserve my sub!!

[@Dialandhands]

Thank you!! I’ve honestly been waiting for someone to show the controller side of destiny some love because most content creators are on PC. For people who want a “pro” controller. The best one I’ve found so far is the razor wolverine tournament edition. It’s the best feeling one and most reliable. The only downside is kontrol freeks don’t fit well but I used ps4 ones and crammed them on there to where it’s comfortable. Also, the controller is lower priced than most and is usually on sale for $80-$100. Best price I’ve found is on Xbox store with a good account which is $79.99.

[@ShadowDestiny]

hmm interesting I haven't spoken to many people who have tried that one. Glad you like it!

[@alexmikoulianitch5898]

I have this controller and it’s incredible. Not only does it have the two bumpers on the back that lets you crouch or pop super, you also have two extra ones up top, right next to the triggers, for switching weapons and reloading seamlessly, which effectively eliminates any need for removing your thumbs from the sticks for anything at all. I love it so far

[@dancecultnoir]

I use Razer Wolverine Ultimate and had no issues for 3 years. Razer make quality controllers and the paddles are sturdy.

[@TiTosTheName23]

I have to give props to the Xbox elite controller here. If your on Xbox and can afford to shell out the huge price tag its very worth it IMO. Super customizable and 4 paddles which can take a long time to get used to but are amazing. What I do is buy the elite from best buy and pay the extra $$ for the geek squad warranty. If you ever have anything and I mean anything go wrong with your controller you take it back and get a new one. Then just purchase the plan over again. The price is steep to begin with but you can essentially get a brand new elite controller anytime within a 2 year window for $60.

[@chills1420]

little tip for us controller people if claw is uncomfortable and u don’t want to buy backpedals i map my buttons so my jump is l1 and my crouch is r3 so i can keep my thumbs on the sticks a lot more has helped me a lot!

[@spartan0722]

Great video, thank you. I’m an Xbox and PC player and I use the Xbox elite controller because of the four paddles. Just to answer your question of why, I play inverted, always have, because of flight simulator type games where you pull back on the stick to go up, (e.g. X-Wing and Tie Fighter and a very old PC game called Blue Max), so it is more intuitive to me.

Great video. FYI for those interested. A device I have purchased called Hip Shot Dot basically puts a red suction cup mounted LED on your screen. You can position it for any game. It allows you to see the exact location of a sniper rifle sight in free hand mode. You put the dot on an enemy and when you ADS the sight is dead on. I am a poor player and cannot attest to its value when sniping. It is relatively cheap.

[@FightingMango]

Hahaha I play inverted vertical axis due to playing goldeneye on Nintendo 64 as a kid. It just makes more sense to my brain now. Like the thumb stick is my characters head. Pull back on it to look up push forward to look down. Haha. It’s stupid but it’s how I’m used to playing.

For keeping Targest In Front of You I Highly Recomend High Mobility. For Aiming Acuratly I Recomend Moving Left And Right To Aim Horizontaly And Using Low Sensibility On Controler To Curve A Bit And Focus More Horizontally, This Way You Can Smooth Aim Horizontaly When You oponent is In The Air You Can Aim Also Verticaly By Moving If you Get Close or You Get Far. Esencially Your Using Your Movment To Both Aim And Evade, Its Quite Effective When Done Properly. Jumping To Evade Is QUite Esencial, The Way I Do In My Best plays is Use Jumping To Both Evade And Position Myself And Reticle To Aim Smothly And Rapidly At My Oponent Head, The Most Efective Methods Is Controling The Speed With The Normal Jump And The The High Speed Jump Like Strafe In Hunter Or titan Or Burst Glide In Warlock. You can Also Evade By taking Advantage of The Debuff Of Glide Thou This Is Specificly For Warlock, See When You Aim You Plumit A Lot Fast To The Ground In Air With Warlock Then Hunter or Titan, That Becuse Glide Does Not generate And vertical Momentum Unless use Rapidly After You Jump. Meaning if You Aim Youll Also Fall At Higher Speed. The Trick of Using Warlock Glide Is To Exact The Hight You Whant And With Thing Like Diretional Control You Can Acelerate Your Jump By Landing On Thing Like Boxes Ec Thing Higher Then The Ground. This Way When Evading Youll Alway be Able To Acelerate Your Jump In The Time, However Most of Control Movment Relies On Understanding The Map, When Your Being Persued, Etc, The Least Thing You HSouldDo Is Turn Around Becuse of The Low Sensibility, Youll Always Whant Your Oponent In Your Face, To Do That Instead Of Compleatly Disengaging The Encounter, With High Mobility You can Move As Fast As Sprint By Jumping And Moving With Lightframes Withount Removing Your Eyes From the Target. Its Probably More Of Situational Thing But With Controler Becuse Of The Limited Thing You Always Whant To Keep Even Minimilistic Full Control Of Evrything. When Using High Sensibility On A Controler Its best To Use A Close But Not To precise Weapon, The Contrary Aplies To Long range Were You Must Use A Low Sensibility To Aim properly, Base Becuse We 1 Do Not have Ads Modifier And 2 Do Not Have The Precision to Manage Its Better Using A Hybrid If You have Both A Long Range And Short Range, A Low Sensibility At Long Range And High Sensibility In Close Range. Now This Will Limit You To A Specific Way of Playing, But Their Also Somthing You can Use T Your Advantage Call Hipfire, And Thank God For It. if You have Low Sensibility As In Your Majorly Long Range Youll Most Likly Benefit To have A Short range Heapon And Hipfire, Or Use Long Range Weapons To Hipfire. Especially With Weapon With High Zoom Youll Never Whant To Aim At Close Range If Your Using Low Sensibility Since Ads Will Reduce That Aim Speed Even More. The Trick In Thsi is That By Hipfire You Get More Chances To Hit With Slow Sensibility, And you Do Not Limit Your Movment Speed Like Ads Does, Atlest To me it proved Alot of Advantage When Having Low Sensibility At Close Range, I Would Recomend A Hipfire Mod On Lot of Thing, This With High Movment Are Able To Evade Shots WHile Not Leving You At The Mercy of Your; You sacrifice precision But Your More Likely To be Hit faster And Evade Your Enemy Better Then What They Evade You When They Ads. Weapons With Higher Zoom And hIgh sensitivity Is A Go, You Shouldnt Try Any Other Combination This Is Becuse The Zoom Is Able To tecnically Extend The Head Box of Your Oponent And Your Aim, By This I Mean There Body or Head Will Get Bigger basical Concept Of Zoom Becuse Of This With High Sensibility Your Not Suffuring Much From Slow Aiming or A Chance To Mis The Shot Compared To Other Weapons. In Controler Positioning Is Evrything, Its Literly All Destiny For Controler Not So Much For Pc, Even More For Warlock Then Hunter Or Titan. This Is Becuse You Have very Little Speed To Corect Your Direction, or Aim, And To SOme Point Even Less Acuratly. Menaing That The Corect Positioning Would Be The Best Tool And yet The Hardet Tool o Use On Controler. let me Explain Positioning Is A HIgh Skill Gap You Need To know What Your Doing, And You Must Be Aware of Absolutly Evrything In The Game. To Give Some Example, You Need To Know A Lo of The Map, The Speed You can Cross It, Your Enemy Position Your Oponent Position, the Position of Cover, The Aoe Radious of Super, The Speed Of Them, The Aoe Of Weapons, Abilities, Etc Etc Etc, Positioning Is The Most Complex Of All Tolls And The Most Rewarding, You Gonna Have To Burn To A Lot of Brain Cells For It To Work Good. Why is More Important For Controler Becuse of Slow Aiming, Technically You can Reposition Your Reticle Withount Actually Aming With The Right Joystic, As i Explain By Jump Movemnt Etc. Menaing That Yoru Able To Aim At Speed of M And K And Acurate f You Fully Master The Positioning However Its No Easy Task, Becuse You Also Have To Evaluate How Your Oponent Plays And Fast. Since In Cntroler You Use Movment To Both Evade Aim And Get To Cover While Also Evading Having To Deal WIth More Then 1 Oponent, Your Gonna Have To Flqlessly Think The Corect Placemnt And The Corect Speed It Witch To Place Yourself And That Is Highly Reliable On The Way Your Oponent Plays Becuse Depending How They Play Depend On The Ideal Spot That Is The Most Effective To Achive All I mention. In Short You Can Say Its A Insane brain Cell Burner Tactic That Will Have To Costantly keep A Lot of Brian Power Constanly Active In Your Brain. Also A Good Thing To Know As ANy Player Is To Identify Each Weapon And To Know Each Weapon, With This Your Able To Predict How Your Opoent While Play And Predict Their Movment Before They Even Execute It, This Is Absolute Fllow of PvP Knoledge predict, Use The Tools In Your Hands. In Controler You can Be In The Corect Situation You Must Create It, or Put Your Oponent In A Bad Situation, This Involve In A Lot Of Control Of What Your Doing And As Fas As To Say Milisecond Of Thinking To Create Whole Entire Plance And Moves. Esencially T he Bets Thing You Can Do In Controler For Spead is Moving Your Oponent To The Ritcle Instead of Moving The Reticle To Your Opoenent, or A Hybrid of The Two.

Keep up the good work. definitely subbing to this channel.

As a returning Hunter Main in D2, I cannot tell you how much I appreciated this!♡ tysm

[@ShadowDestiny]

you're welcome :)

[@pickle1861]

U have such an relaxing voice it's pure joy just listening to you xD And thank you soooo much for making this video, it was very informative, explained in a simple way so that even a non destiny player could understand it. Pls keep going and I hope you reach 100k very soon

[@ShadowDestiny]

Thank you, much love

[@Revaks]

Thank you, this has helped my transition from MnK to controller on next gen console really well!

[@MonkeySnail_]

I recently bought a controller w/ paddles to re map my crouch + melee. My controller layout (Bumper Jumper) has B for crouch & right stick click for melee. This change has helped me tremendously

[@ShadowDestiny]

awesome!

[@mrhamburgler480]

if you bind hold crouch and toggle sprint as the same input, you can run, slide, and continue to run directly out of slide without having to input the sprint command again. dunno if that's in this video yet but just thought I'd share. also the newer power-A enhanced controllers are actually really solid for xbox one/Xbox series. I see they get mixed reviews but I absolutely recommend them from my experience with the two I have and the ones family members have for their switch/xbox consoles. they're reasonably priced and usually can find insanely good deals on one if your okay with taking a shot on something like a new, open box or new, no box kinda listing. getting one really opened a lot of options with fps gaming and gaming in general for me as simple as they are with two mappable key binds. guarding in action games with no controller input customization, lock on inputs, dashing, anything really. it helps more than I ever thought two extra buttons would lol. hopefully anyone reading this has the same positive experience I have with one or that the input "trick" for Destiny helps someone out. 👍😎

[@JediTyro]

5:25, I feel called out for missing all my shots when jumping, lol. Great video, I just suck at pvp.

The left trigger to interact is information gold. 🤔🤯🤯

[@ShadowDestiny]

I'm glad you found that helpful! I'm still using it to this day, it's super helpful :) Also just a tip, might recommend that you rebind your sparrow so that it doesn't break its functionality haha

[@saintlunaticv3602]

@@ShadowDestinyI'm thinking RT since who uses brake on a sparrow? Am a I right? 🤣. Thanks for the tip btw

[@saintlunaticv3602]

Also, I use a Thrustmaster controller. Can't recommend them enough. It has 4 buttons on the back. I wish they were paddles but that's a small price to pay for having the ability to swap out sticks when they go bad. I unbind auto melee. I bind charged melee to "A" in game and top left back button on the controller. I bind uncharged to up on "d-pad" in game and top back button on the controller. I use the bottom back buttons for crouch and jump of course. It's the best setup I've used in Destiny by far. Love your videos and appreciate your work. They've been a great help.👍👍

[@Wuronjilong]

I've never actually been convinced about control freeks, until you talked about it from a physics perspective. Now it's like oh that makes perfect sense, time to buy.

thanks a lot Shadow!

Absolute legend

[@Theselfmachine1]

As someone who’s been playing console most of his destiny life and this video is what I needed

[@MannyShredder269]

So… a few questions. Do you only play on a hunter? Is there a different way to move around the map if you are playing another character class? In your opinion, what’s the best sniping load out for warlocks and titans? These might be obvious questions to some, but I wanted to get your take on them.

[@desertgaming2561]

Awesome content, Helped my controller skills improve immensely

[@doglookingatcamera7954]

Got damn, these are some top tier tips. I play on M&K but I still learned quite a bit from this video. Keep up the great work!

[@user-xl7ys8cs5c]

This guy has a point about the movement. the amount of times I slid to JUST avoid sniper shots not only saves your life, but also make you feel like an absolute badass

[@ShadowDestiny]

:)

[@XLMasterBlaster]

Great video, on the topic of controllers, I use the Xbox Elite Controller and I can never go back, it has 4 paddle buttons on the back and I have them mapped to A, B, X and Y and it is so convenient for pretty much every game, not just Destiny.

[@ajackson]

Top tip: I map my left back paddle to jump, and my right back paddle to swap weapon. Then my crouch is R3. That way I can jump, Icarus dash and swap to a shotgun all whilst aiming. I change Icarus Dash to one button press of R3 and Dodge to double press of R3. Works great.

[@sithkesu2170]

Knowing all of this is definitely huge help for me since I play xbox with a series 2 elite controller thanks

[@jeffmuller1489]

Interesting to hear some info about mouse players perspective. Have always used a controller. Great video and great tips, thank you!

[@obscureclouds8392]

Two things i'd like to see on nextgen consoles that are available on PC. 1. Crosshair placement. On PC you can place it in the middle of the screen. You can choose between console and PC default. 2. Steam let's you adjust the deadzones of your controller. Which leads to a more direct input. What i would like to know is why did you choose to use a controller on PC even though mk has more advantages?

[@ShadowDestiny]

#1 is in the video. #2 doesn't work in D2. Steam doesn't actually let you mess with the deadzones for Destiny. Those settings only apply to the steam controller, and nobody uses that thing lol. As for your final question, I just chose to stick with controller because that's what I was comfortable with when I switched over from console.

[@obscureclouds8392]

@@ShadowDestiny Thank you for responding. I always thought the settings would apply to all controllers. Anyway. Would be great to be able to adjust deadzones. I feel like this is standard in so many games and i am unsure why it is not in Destiny. At least i would like to have different presets for it like in cod.

thank you for this, ive played destiny on controller for years and after getting a pc, i adapted to keyboard and mouse for every other game but destiny just feels right on controller for me

[@ShadowDestiny]

you're welcome :)

[@nexus2031]

It’d be pretty cool to see what you’re doing on your controller while playing. Eg how your fingers move on the controller for strafing, sniping and using abilities

[@3O2MuStAnG]

3:36 that made me laugh so hard for some reason. It just seems so random. Everyone's shooting and in between there's suddenly that Hunter seemingly shooting whilst vibing with a good song.

[@muaythai193]

I play inverted, and it feels much better to me than non-inverted. It’s like the thumbstick is glued on the back of the chars head, so when you pull it down, you turn his head upwards. Feels natural. 🤷‍♂️ Good video btw. Now things will get extra spicy with the ads sensitivity setting and increased general sensitivity. 👍
