With all the changes Bungie has made to ability and super regeneration the ability to land your shots is more critical than ever. I'll cover tips the don't require an aim trainer and focus more on techniques you can practice in-game.

Thanks for the "in game" practice methods. Improvement tips that only help people with access to aim trainers are not as helpful as things you can actually practice while you play
also aim trainers are boring and I would much rather just play the game
Something to mention about sensitivity, there's a lot to be said about the impact of pixel skipping (less accurate input) when you play on a lower dpi (mouse sens setting). It's not the biggest problem but it's a very avoidable variable that you can rule out by changing the ratio of in game sens to dpi. An example is how I used to play on 8 in game sens and 400 dpi, and by simply changing at a factor of four to 2 in game and 1600 dpi it stays the same and there is 0 pixel skipping. (This can be annoying in other games as they have a lower in game sens and you often have to go into the looow decimals or fully change your dpi individually for games that don't let you but its still worth it IMO)
Oh this is interesting. I’ll look more into this for myself! Thanks!
Do you mean that it could be better to have more dpi on the mouse and lower the sensitivity in the game?
Also dpi of 1000+ has less response time. Forget the tech video but was better then lower dpi
@@mikegoldfinch Its the other way round, with diminishing returns after 1600 or something like that
Very enlightening video. I've been struggling with aim a lot lately. I play on 800 dpi and 4 sens with 0.9 ads. After watching this and listening to all your advice, I'm considering dropping my dpi and upping the in game sens. Alot of the things you mentioned are all things I've caught myself doing at one point or another. I'm looking forward to working on my game!
Bro this is a masterpiece guide. What I’ve learned here.
1. I concentrate way to much on my reticle and cannot track enemies. I will trust that I will be centered and focus on the player model going forward rather then my reticle.
2. I need more practice lol
Glad you found it helpful! I’ve been guilty of the same thing!
One thing that helped me keep these things in mind was completing the Jade Rabbit catalyst. I had to take fights, but couldn’t have the advantage in most duels, so the only way to win was to keep most of these principles in mind. I still found myself getting frustrated because I was using an weapon that wasn’t the most competitive, but it sure teaches you some lessons about situational awareness, shooting from cover, and reticle placement. Having said that, it was still frustrating when there was a team of good aggressive players. But I guess that’s where the being comfortable comes into play. But doing something that feels more like work than fun will not appeal to most players.
Would you say you improved from it?
doing the handful of crucible catalysts 100% made me better after i suffered through them for a week at a time lol
@@kegium most definitely. My K/D improved dramatically, even while using Jade Rabbit. When I was able to put it down and use a loadout I was more familiar and comfortable with it improved even more. Mostly because it taught me what fights I could take and win and how to be aggressive when pushed by players who are in better position or just plain better than me.
Great video. I’m at 1000 dpi and I think my in game is 10 & 1.0, respectively. I have around a 2.54 efficiency this season, my highest yet. My problem when I tried to lower the dpi was feeling slow and cramped when moving. I will have to try tweaking some settings because your video makes the balance between movement and gunplay look pretty smooth.
There's also a measurable decrease in mouse input latency by running higher dpi on your mouse, in other words keep your edpi the same by doubling your dpi and halving your sense. I recently went from 700 dpi and 6 sensitivity to 1400 dpi on 3 sensitivity, actually feels much more consistent (maybe responsive is the right word) now.
Thank you very much! The item about recoil control helped a lot
Great video man! I rewatch this all the time to keep improving
i actually had the pro settings website bookmarked for ages now, really helped me decide what dpi and sens i'd like to use
Love the nuggets of wisdom in this one! Your vids are getting better and better Apa. As I'm working on my Peek shot and imo you are one of the best at this.
Thank you!
This is a really excellent video Apa! Great tips.
Shadow ur are a great supportive friend
Thanks shadow :)
ty for this video, i am still at the beginning of this journey and will take these tips on board
Amazing view and thought points. Even helpful for long time players :D keep up the amazing content!
Thanks so much 🙏
i found that the battler pulse rifle works quite well for me. i run gutshot straight and perpetual motion on the crafted variant because i tend to fight from cover and at middle ranges. the scope helps with shot placement, and i can still hipfire if necessary. some players get down on me for gutshot because it reduces target acquisition. but the extra bodyshot damage does help if i cant land headshots. perpetual motion means extra stability and handling while im moving. and since i never sit still, this benefits me greatly. i also considered a non-meta build. if you go in with a meta build, everyone is gonna be running that too. so look at non-meta options. itll throw off their game because theyre looking at you going "wtf? how does that work?" but you have a custom designed build that suits your needs. i pair this with a hung jury (explosive rounds, subsistence) or a seventh seraph carbine (hipfire grip, moving target). i feel like this allows me to cover most firefights. the hung jury for longrange fights. seventh seraph carbine for close range. and battler for midrange fights. i personally feel like this is a well rounded build for me. i can engage at multiple distances. all i need to do is get peekshooting down.
Excellent video. I have watched Cool Guy's and Fallout's on this topic and this one stands with them.
I recently traded in my PS5 and large TV for a top end gaming PC and monitor. The first two weeks using a mouse and keyboard took some adjustment, but now it’s a breeze.
I’ve been absolutely shocked at how easy it is to consistently hit headshots on PC. My headshot accuracy in Trials with snipers went from 71% on console to 88% on PC and from 62% to 77% with hand cannons!
I’ve really liked how little recoil there is on PC and you can accurately shoot weapons like sub machine guns.
Great video btw and I used your tips to configure my PC settings. All in all though, PC feels like easy/cheat mode compared to console and I’m loving it 🙂
Top vid Bud. Great insight.
Apathetic, just wanted to say thanks man for sharing your knowledge and giving guys like me (who suck) a much better experience. I’ve been following you for a couple years, and have been playing since original Destiny days, but I’ve had to come and go over the years and I must say watching your videos and taking in your advice and insights has truly made me a better player. Thank you so much man. I play Xbox so don’t think we’d ever be able to link up but that would be like meeting a g.o.a.t. celebrity in game lol. Peace bro.
Glad I could help! Thanks for the continued support!
Yoo!!! I watched this before work cuz I was wondering how to do that aim slide stuff, now that I know and I can rebind, I just got it down, time practice! Thanks 😅
Great great tips my guy. 👍🏻
Thank you sm for this video!just started but already really helpful! I am a LONNNG time destiny player but switched to pc a while ago but havent beed as good in pvp mainly because of my aim. Destiny aiming and gunplay feel sooo diffrent from other shooters which i mostly do good in.
I hope to improve with your tips :)
Edit : so at the end you said being under pressure is bad, and everytime i play d2 while Stoned i feel like i hit way more often cuz i'm just relaxed...kinda wanna record some normal gameplay and then stoned to make out the diffrence. It feels like i hit over 50% more shots which would make sense if i'm relaxed
Absolutely fantastic vid Apa! 👏
Thanks TP! 😎
Great vid Apathettic
Superb video bro I'm moving from controller to MnK now
Thanks for the video- all the tips were useful! But what did you mean by "sliding" out of cover?
Man that last tip about staying calm when shit hits the fan is so true , I find my self just Spazzing out whenever I get right up front to a person, I’ve gotten better at it but that’s still like my number one thing that’s gets me dead is not just staying calm and taking my shots
This is going to sound like a lie, but if you want to hack your conditioning you could try playing under a weighted blanket.
The blanket basically tricks your body into releasing the same chemicals it would if you were having a long hug with another person. You feel calmer and less anxious as a result.
I found it let me condition myself not to stress and spasm the controls when someone is playing inside my personal space, and now I don't use it anymore but still can just react instead of spiking my stress levels.
There are other ways to do this, but I don't know any that don't also drop your reaction speed too.
Needed this
Thank you so much
Peek shooting is pretty hard on console imo and ( even as a long time player) I am not good at it. My aim isn’t bad overall, but still improvable.
Thanks for the tips👍
love you're vid keep up
fun fact: handcannons and slug shotties are not the only weapons in the game, experiment, maybe you are better with an autorifle, or cerberus+1, or smgs and pulse rifles.
first find the weapon that you find fun to use, and use that even if its not the most effective tactic possible like the shotgun hc meta.
i usually run cerberus with a lightweight smg to close the gap and just block the enemies movement somewhat since they tend to panic when your bullet spread isnt specific.
My edpi is really high compared to what most people recommend(I use 1000 dpi and 9 in game sense, so 9000 edpi), but I run 85 fov which helps compensate for that. This is mainly because I started learning mnk on Stadia, where fov is locked at 85 in Destiny, so it's what I got comfortable with and I just haven't bothered to change it since I swapped to steam.
your game play never ceases to impress! great vid
Thanks M! Appreciate you!
Now watching this again the reticle placement I could finally understand…I guess that why from good player pov often times it’s like the opponents handed their head into scope aka so easy but it’s actually the reticle placement
solid video!
Staying calm is sooooo important. Usually my first match of the day the first half I get absolutely spanked, then take a deep breath and relax my arm and it's smooth sailing. Takes some conscious effort for me still but getting much better
This is excellent.
Thanks bro
that thumbnail i s the most just aim forehead thing I've ever seen and i love it
Wow, great tips!
*proceeds to equip Lorentz Driver*
Im on console but i found thst different guns feel optimal at different sens. The other thing to play around with is the fov. I lowered mine to around 80 and liking it for sniping/arbalest. I changed to a monitor from a big TV a while ago and found that sniping is way easier now (even before i messed with FOV)
Appreciate you mentioning this! Mine was set to 75 on ps5 and my husband plays on computer at 100 and got me to change and everything is too distorted so I'm going to 80 as you suggest!
No idea what you said I was too busy watching your gameplay. 100% mint
Great tips all round, but is there a Pro Settings guide for content creators who play on console? Or a way to work out eDPI on a TV screen?
That same link does have console players settings on it as well!
I have never seen an arbalest user get more outplayed... 1:45
Yaaaaaaas another vid from warlock supreme
Does DPI scale differently for different software? If I used 400 DPI on my Corsair mouse, it crawls across the screen. So I have my DPI at around 2500 within the ICUE software.
Man, I wish Titans had an exotic that was just "Shoot guns better" :< Closest we get is Peacekeepers
By any means I‘m not a bad Player I‘m a 1.96 overall but this Video is a Gem. Learned a lot 2 improve my GP thank u 4 that Video Brother keep going the good work. Very good Video !!!!
Thanks for the video. I agree with the some of the points. But there are couple of things which are not mentioned.
1. Better weapons - some hardest activities in the game and grinding pve activities give god roll weapons, like the shotgun in the video. The best shotgun I have takes 2 shots n many times opponents will get away with 10% health.
2. Connection - if your internet connection or connection to Bungie network is wonky then shots will not register, get hit behind covers n other annoying things will occur during the game. What I have noticed is that players from Western and European countries benefits seamless connection to Bungie networks. Players from 3rd world countries have to live with it.
Every time I login to D2 I get “Could not connect to Destiny servers”
To put it in a sentence, either 1 has to be extremely good at PvP to ignore best gear n mods or grind your ass out to get her best gear to enjoy.
D2 PvP is a complex game with builds n shit unlike Call of Duty or Battlefield games.
Great video, I’ve been playing on mnk and controller but as of recently I gave up on mnk. I’m planning on going back and trying again. Also what shotgun is that?
Heritage! :)
Does anyone have any explanation for bad aim on a certain rpm of hand cannons? My aim is fine on 120s and 180s, but for some reason I just can’t aim with 140s, which doesn’t make sense to me
Does playing on old-gen have a regressive impact on performance? I feel it significantly does because I'm still on an Xbox One S. Not terribly by any means but I'm getting severely out-classed by next-gen users. You know, frames and all. Amazing guide none the less, I wish I found your channel sooner.
Whats the hand cannons ur using?
There seems to be a lot of talk over dropping fov to 95 - 100 helps a great deal with aim due to extra size and apparent zoom. What fov do you play on/recommend for a mostly mid-range playstyle (pulse/hc + fusion) on PC/MnK.
I think it’s all comfort level. I use 105 but could totally see the value in lower fov. I don’t prefer it because it feels very claustrophobic for me.
“progress whether slow or fast is still progress.” I like that one right there chief
My downfall is definitely my tendency to tense up and get nervous when in high pressure situations. I play so much better when I’m relaxed but the second I get into a 1v1 where my team is depending on me for a win, I choke so often because the nerves get to me and I miss a shotgun blast that I should’ve hit or something like that
I have come across a big problem in my gameplay. When I do stuff like 1v1 my friends or practice in PvE I have decently good aim but in an actual game situation as soon as I get into a fight I just pannick and just start frantically shooting 😰 I know you talked about aiming under pressure but I just don't know how to stay calm in fights no matter what I do it just doesn't happen
So I should put the red dot immediately on their head? I swear the bullets shoot body shots when I try to aim for the head. Like the Crosshair doesn’t aim at the head at center of cross hair when u aim
the dpi part is kind of confusing and im not to sure how to change the dpi of my mouse or how to find that out
I suck at aiming, but here's a question. Is it better to ignore the body of the target and aim just below center of their health bar for head shots?
Man that Heritage is lookin crispy! What's the roll on that?
Also that Jotuun user got absolutely destroyed at 3:14 xD
It’s a dual load killing wind roll. Definitely not the best but I’ve been loving it!
What shotgun you using???
What a great video you have!If you don't mind, I would like to ask your permission to share this video to the other website in China for the embarrassing reason that TH-cam is blocked from accessing in China. Of course, I will give sources of the original website. Thank you very much.
Another tip if your on ps4 buy a ps5 because oh my god the fov changes literally makes aiming so much fucking easier it’s actually insane
How do I make my gaming experience better for me on Xbox I play crucibles sometimes but my KD sucks and I die constantly
im confused about peakshooting smg people just rush me and spray me while my handcannon doesnt kill them fast
Long time sub. Always enlightening. This vid is makes sense. I’ve heard all this before. But it clicked this time. Your Apathetic presentation helps. Huge question. I switched to pc a few years ago. Tried m&k. Got too frustrated. Recently I’ve given it a go again. My shot is better. But I’m still “not so good” w/movement. I’m a typer. WASD bothers me. I like ESDF. But even still… is there somewhere to practice just moving. Doesn’t have to be Destiny. And bro please don’t say “play the game”. I’m at my wits end! & seriously trying to get off this controller. ANY help is appreciated.
I would say PvE is a great place for that. There will be a simulation of enemies damaging you but nothing on the line to keep you from practicing!
1.95 kd player here but still have a lot to learn. These are good tips especially with the crosshair looking vs the eyes. Great vid.
SHOULD I ALWYS PUT THE RED DOT ON THEIR HEAD REGARDLESS OF DISTANCE?? I swear I put tht seed dot on their head an sometimes it doesn’t register as headshots it’s like I’m shooting their body
great video keep it up!
What guns are you using in the vid?
Palindrome and heritage shotty
Can you help clear up the "screen centering" concept for me? This is literally the first time I've ever heard or seen that. So, are you saying that my eyes should always follow the reticle when I'm moving around the map, and simulatenously the reticle should move to where I want to "look", and thus they are always in sync (eyes & reticle)? Then when a target comes into view, need to shift focus to the target. As opposed to moving eyes around but leaving the "reticle" lazy or unfocused, in a sense?
Exactly! I think the way you described it is exactly what screen centering is. Using your hands and reticle to look around in game as opposed to using your eyes and looking away from your reticle
do you play on 10 mobility? I play on a hunter with 90 mobility stompees and my problem is i sometime peek way too much or go in cover too much and that causes me to miss out on a 3 tap. I feel like there's a delay when doing ADAD in and out of cover feels very weird from other games, any tips on that?
I play on 4 mobility or lower. So maybe try adjusting your sense to offset the speed of your movement or practice specifically peak shotting in rumble to help build better muscle memory
What shotgun is he using
After watching this video I realised that I was playing with an extremely high eDPI, so I lowered it to the recommended 3600 but that feels really sluggish to me. For example I would fully move the mouse with my arm and my character wouldn't move much. Is it meant to be this slow? I was using 400x9 like he said in the video.
Yes but remember you’re coming form a high eDPI. Once you adjust it will feel normal again. Allow yourself to rebuild that muscle memory 💪🏼
С какими пушками играешь?
Hey apa, can we expect a void 3.0 warlock build btw
Yes!
What roll do you have on your heritage ?
Dual loader killing wind. Not optimal but gets the job done.
I'm back again watching this video wondering what the heck I'm doing wrong. I really wish there were more aim improvements for console players too. Maybe I'm just getting too old and can't keep up anymore.
What resolution to you play on because it DOES change the sensitivity
1440p
hey can anyone lmk what shotgun he’s using??
Heritage from deep stone crypt!
I use 600 dpi and 20 in-game sens, is this too high? I've been using it competitively in Minecraft for a couple years now so I'm quite used to it though
Not at all! If your comfortable with that I would stick with it!
I never realized how much I look down in shooters omg, thank you so much for this tip, what a fucking hindrance it was
And will this benefit me since I’m using ps4 console?
Yes!
What shotgun is he using with that translucent red sight throughout this this video?
Heritage!
I'm gonna be honest
Me playing on the new series x has helped me a lot in pvp
I always fail at the pressure.
9:29 What warlock move is that?
bottom tree solar, phoenix dive
I’m new to PC and my pve sens feels fine 800 dpi 8 sens/ but in crucible idk if it’s because I’m fairly new to pvp on Pc and D2 is a much harder game to track your target but it’s hella frustrating getting shit on when I played fine on controller. Yet if I use controller on Pc I’ll get wrecked lol. Going from a 1.5kd to a 0.8 kd is definitely humbling
I am a bit above their heads and i just can not miss a headshot XD,and just like a year ago i could barely get like 25 kills,now my average games end with me having about 40 kills or more,my record is 48 currently,it would have been 51 but i missed a thundercrash bc i thought i was running hammers still XD
You made a great point about keeping calm during engagements and not tensing up. Pattycakes has a great video ALL about this one topic, focusing on achieving your ideal “flow state” when playing pvp. Will edit this comment with a link to his video if/when I find it.
EDIT:
th-cam.com/video/JeWyO8YFQng/w-d-xo.html
what pump are u using
Heritage
This is crazy, I'll never get to this level...
Apathetic most under-rated guardian there is!!!!!!
I just set my DPI to 1150 and sensitivity to 15 and I got so much better
Let me stop on on your first tip already. Head-height crosshair placement is great for games like csgo, valorant, cod etc. But for a game like Destiny 2 that has so much verticality it is an afterthought.
Does anyone Good at PVP play using a seriesX xbox?
Please the name from second weapon
Heritage
Thanks for the video. I also was noticing you doing a lot of weapon switching which is something I find myself not doing as much and relying on whatever I have out to finish the job. I got to work on that a little bit more as well as being more aware of peak shooting. On a side note, which shotgun was that being used towards the first half of the video?
That’s the Heritage slug shotgun :)
@@Apathettic thanks brother.
I started doing the swap animation myself. Since we got the mods for shotguns & fusions. You get used to swapping constantly!
@@ChrisCobraElite™ I have mods on for dexterity and targeting for the primary but I just don't switch as much as I think I should. I also need to put on those ophidians, been running stag a lot
