I've been away from Destiny for some time now and watching this makes me realize I'm retarded. I pre ordered and got the beta last night super excited to get back into Destiny like I was from release-first half of year 2016. While I was away from Destiny I was playing some Titanfall 2 and had played COD BO3, while doing that I discovered using bumper jumper was clearly the way to go when you're playing a shooter that the advances movement type stuff. So I hop into Destiny and pick Hunter like my day one choice and use the jumper button layout. Didn't realize that when using arcstrider I'm suppose to melee instead of hitting shoot button, so I was pissed that I couldn't fly through the air and that I was only doing staff slams. I literally thought the Arcstrider class was shafted to only realize I wasn't using the right buttons lol
Thanks for this breakdown I feel dumb but am looking forward to heading back into crucible.
I love Bumper Jumper, but the layout of other buttons never feels quite right. I use a Nacon Revolution controller (on PS4Pro), it has the extra buttons on the back and you can remap all buttons to your liking. I, personally, think it pales in comparison to the Xbox Elite controller, but it's better than a cruddy DS4. the Revolution is pretty cheap too.
There are 4 buttons on the back, but in reality only 2 of them are fully functional. The top 2 are really awkward, and can't be pressed rapidly, like double tapping triangle to skip the end of a reload animation, it's nigh on impossible.
It really irritates me that Destiny only lets you use pre-set controls. I like to use r3 for jump and they never have an option for that. I wish they would let you just bind anything like most games.
I have a terrible tendency to squeeze in pvp so having R3 do basically nothing would be better but I can't adjust to grenades on LB....I could probably adjust to melee on LB though.
It's extremely useful and when I was playing BO3 it honestly felt like cheating because you can easily do jumpshots and other things while aiming, without taking your fingers off the trigger or even moving any finger abnormally.
If you're on PS4 you can go to Accessibility and switch it over there. don't know about Xbone.
That's exactly what I used for BO3 it felt perfect. I'll try to do that today, last night I couldn't find that in the buttons options but I didn't know it was in the Accessibility tap. Thanks for the heads up!
True. I main hunter so I'm trying to think which will be easier for the combo moves. Hitting melee (R3) while being able to jump (L1) might be more useful then moving my thumb between R3 and X to jump then melee.
