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'm guessing the reason you're not told about it is because it really doesn't work properly. It seems you have a 50/50 chance of actually getting it to work, and the grenade throw during it is ridiculous.
-
This works well on the current nightfall/weekly on the platforms with barriers. You can also move ever so close to those barriers and ads (make sure you aren't popping up) and if you can ads and see the boss name. You can shoot him through the barrier. Tried most all gun types except a rocket
-
Only found this out myself the other day by accident. Not that I use it much, my Voidwalker just spams explosive death at everything and flies away if things get hairy.
-
I knew this already, it's a similar one to Far Cry 3.
-
Whoa thank you I had no idea! Lol this takes me back to the days when games didn't just hold your hand and you just found things out through experimentation.
-
Blood sacrifice or it's fake
-
I knew this since the first week :)
-
You can slide into it as well if I am not mistaken.
-
Destiny myth busters on YouTube, check it out they have done a number of things.
-
Phogoth and the cliffs on the far left of the Summoning Pits boss area knew this for quite a while. ;)
-
I would tell you that this is in the official strategy guide, but I don't have time to explain why I don't have time.
-
Bungie didn't have time to explain why they didn't have time to explain this mechanic. I found this out on accident awhile ago. Something like this should have been in the tutorial first mission.

TL:DR, Destiny has a cover system like Killzone 2/3, so take advantage people![/quote] I found it out on my first day of the game.

I've made the grenade mistake before... it was not pretty.
-
Thank you :)
-
I knew about it, just never use it because it's not very helpful
-
Who didn't know? Lol
-
I knew about this since release, very helpful especially when fighting bosses like valus (massive cabal on the strike that no one seems to like)
-
Hahaha I always thought this was a glitch, and got annoyed everytime this would happen to me.
-
1 ReplyI assumed this was common knowledge, considering most fps's have this feature
-
I honestly find myself using cover in horizontal situations and strafing. Although this could be useful for some situations, I find mobility seems to be more effective. Regardless, still good to know, although very little cover is meant for crouching behind.

1 ReplyLol I thought everyone knew this!
-
18 Repliesyet they told you about lazer mines that are never used in the game
-
Well hell, I didn't know this. Now it's all I'm going to do for a night...
-
Great find, so much cover in the game to utilize as well :)
-
The cover system is realy awesome,I learned how to use it today and I defeated serkion in a couple of mins
