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.

1 ReplyYeah, I barely ever use it. But it is helpful on Valus Strike.

Had no idea. Thanks mate.

Edited by AnonPig: 11/6/2014 6:04:49 AMYou may wanna edit this in Valus taurac? Whatever the name go straight up and to the left crouch there ads his rockets will miss you about 80% of the time, you just have to worry about his machine gun and the enemies that spawn behind you which aren't many. Obviously when he moves you move though there's a second balcony on the other side. Also angle high enough to throw grenades from cover, you have to get good at that but it's possible.

Edited by Arkrilok: 11/6/2014 5:18:32 AMWow. I've even thought "the only thing this game is missing is a cover system."
-
Wow you just figured that out?
-
2 RepliesI accidentally figured out a way to shoot Valus Ta'aurc through a piece of cover that even his Quake splash damage can't go through, using the cover system. I wouldn't use it for Nightfall/Heroic personally, but a friend I showed uses it because he doesn't particularly like sitting under the stairs to occasionally pop shots.

I found this out by accident lmao
-
Didn't know either
-
already knew. if u hadnt stumbled upon this by accident already, u must never hav used cover
-
4 RepliesWow a forum post that is helpful and not complaining? Thanks for this i had no idea
-
2 Replies<played since launch <known about this since launch
-
I knew this for awhile, and found out during the Valus Tu'aurc strike= VERY useful
-
Edited by ChadPook: 11/6/2014 4:02:44 AMI tend to scope then crouch/walk forward against the cover to see over it. Didn't know it worked while being still.
-
Its to prevent headglichers actually.

Lvl 29 and had no idea about this thanks dude

Edited by Futilelyte: 11/6/2014 3:38:06 AMCover mechanic is nice for PVE. I struggle to successfully use it in PVP. It's not as fluent and smooth as the cover system was in COD Ghost and I struggled to adapt to it. Did you know you can also use your sparrow as an explosive to kill enemies? It's fun in both PVP and PVE

4 RepliesGet this one, if you spin around three times on the spot ... you sprout wings and fly over the enemies ...

1 ReplyI knew this from day one. I had no idea this wasn't widely known.

2 RepliesFound that out about a week ago (week ago)!
-
I found this out in the Beta. I can't believe it isn't common knowledge.
-
Found it out about a month ago doing a strike on the Summoning Pits while hiding for my life
-
2 RepliesReally? How did none of you try this already? This was like Day 1 beta for me. Take cover, aim. It's common game logic.

1 ReplyI've been abusing every time I play nexus, which a lot of people don't know but there are 2-3 places to 'head glitch' where the boss cannot hit you. I laugh every time I see people using the raised side (left from drop), cause they always die.
