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.

Thanks for the info. I'm sure there are a bunch of us out here that didn't know about this simple but useful trick.
-
Yeah, when I first found out about it I tried to throw a grenade from behind cover. Good thing my Titan grenades can't kill anything.

This is good when used in conjunction with the rock in the summoning pits.

5 RepliesThis sounds identical to what we in the Battlefield community call " head glitching " and they just took it completely out of the game haha..

2 RepliesWhat tutorial? Pretty sure dinklebot hands you a gone and wishes you good luck and your off.

5 RepliesThe speaker could tell you… but he didn't.

4 RepliesWait I'm missing something, what game mechanics did the game tell me about? I was just told to scan and shoot, I was never given any helpful or enlightening info.
-
I've known about this since the first day I played the alpha
-
7 RepliesI've known about this since day one you retard.

Related, I didnt know about the nightfall buff until I ran nightfall for the first time and saw the buff on my character. Never seen anyone post about it here so chances are that there's a good deal of people who still don't know about it.

5 RepliesDestiny Mythbusters showed me this, and so much more. It really is a little surprising how much cool info they don't really tell you about. I [i]guess[/i] it's fun to find out on your own, but a cover system is [i]way[/i] too practical to simply forget to tell players about. That PKing with the VoG sparrow, though... that's something I probably wouldn't tell people upfront, either hahaha.

I have over 10 days actual playing time and I didn't know this. I only this week found out you could cancel your glide by tapping the jump button a third time.

1 ReplyLol phogoth night fall that's the only way to get past the first part without cheese.
-
Huh... I've never really thought about this but, I've done this since the Alpha...
-
People didnt know this? O.o
-
I already knew.
-
Thanks for reminding me about this
-
I've known this since the cheesing the Templar on the hobgoblins platform was a thing
-
I always use it when doing that big armoured bastard on Mars Strike Works well against his rockets
-
I heard this was true. I tested it and it does seem to work. I still find myself peeking around the side of cover.
