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.

  • This was one of the first things I tried in this game. It never seemed to work for me. Tried it the other day and it still did nothing. Is there any particular type of wall I should be looking for, or is this a troll post that I've fallen for?
