The USEFUL game mechanic NO-ONE tells you about...
I found out online and verified in the game, that there's a critical ability every player has access to that the tutorial and controls don't tell you about.
I am talking about Destiny's [b]cover system[/b].
Yes, that's right, Destiny has a cover system that few know about, and is never mentioned in the tutorial. It's easy to perform and it's extremely useful for all classes.
The way the cover system works is that you go find waist-high or higher cover, something you can see over while standing. You get behind this cover, then you crouch, and when you want to fire at the enemy you just need to AIM DOWN SIGHTS and your character will pop up over the cover AUTOMATICALLY to fire. When you want to get back under cover, just RELEASE the aim button and your character will automatically duck down again.
WARNING: Your character will only pop up while aiming to shoot, you CANNOT ADS and then toss a grenade, or your character will drop back down and throw it at your cover. If you want to throw a grenade from cover, you must stand up and throw it, then crouch back down behind your cover.
Edit: make sure to like this topic and give it a bump for other Guardians to see.

I've known this for a while. It really helps on the Valus Truck strike, on the upper platforms with the waist-high concrete walls.

11 RepliesYou do realize that it's in almost every FPS

i know this is the best thing ever i have some troubles with it but i love it when in a boss fight
-
It's really bad imo, I'd never use it. I'd rather crouch and uncrouch when I want to. It has killed me a few times on Twilight Gap sniping.

I found this out...day 3

1 ReplyWay to just tell everyone.... now everyone is ganna know and cry about it being OP like dancing and being able to see around corners in crucible.

1 ReplyI knew this but never really found it useful. Maybe I'm wrong though. I use to think sliding was useless but recently I've see people in pvp sliding and actually getting a lot if kills. I started using my fleet foot ability on my hunter and turns out sliding is awesome. Doesn't work every time though. It's if your running and an enemy pops out in front of u and you know your too far away so u slide to cover the distance then BAM. clutch

Wow... Are ppl just figuring this out now... Lol hehehe

Oh I already knew that

Found out about it a month into the game during one of the nightfalls, it's very handy

Thanks mate

2 RepliesIt's too bad that the supply of half body height obstacles in the game are in short supply. It makes me really miss Gears and SOCOM.

I actually knew about this but never really said anything or was surprised, maybe because I used to play battlefield 4 and it had this in it also lol.

Yeah, I discovered this a while ago while I was doing the strike against valus ta'auruc. I was standing behind one of the covers that give you clear line of fire to him. I was quite surprised when I accidentally hit the aim button. That was were I first learned about this feature.
-
Yowza!
-
I found out about this on phogoth along time ago. Hiding behind the rocks crouched, hit aim and your right on target.

It's pretty useless considering that most everything in this game has splash damage.

1 ReplyFound this when cheesing the archon priest under the platform. .. a little while back. .. figured it was just another head glitch

I thought this was going to be a sarcastic rant about randoms that join for a raid and die every 3 seconds
