10 Settings Every Player Should Definitely Disable in Destiny 2

earthpressnews

Destiny 2 is a loot shooter in which players can also customize a lot in the game options. But what should and shouldn’t be enabled there to take your Destiny 2 experience to the next level? A keeper will tell you.

Incorrect settings can spoil the gaming experience: As with any game, there are some settings in Destiny 2 that can affect the gaming experience.

  • For example, there are settings that you should never activate because they directly make you worse in the game.
  • Other settings are even enabled by default in Destiny 2, so you may not even realize they can negatively impact your gaming experience.

    • So the guardian ShadowDestiny noticed that there are actually many players who leave Bungie’s settings completely untouched.

    To help change that and allow everyone to take their Destiny 2 experience to the next level, here are ShadowDestiny’s 10 Bungie’s loot shooter tips to take down.

    This improves your gaming experience in Destiny 2

    Choosing the right settings in Destiny 2 is important to get the best possible gaming experience. But the large number of options quickly overwhelms you and you may lose track of what is really helpful and what is not. Because of this, this article can potentially be of useful help to any Destiny player.

    A notice: We do not recommend disabling all settings at the same time. Depending on the system, individual options may be necessary. So it’s best to set one option after the other and test whether the quality doesn’t deteriorate for you.

    1. Motion Blur

    A smear that obscures your opponents: In Destiny 2, motion blur is enabled by default. It causes close objects to appear blurrier than more distant ones, and this just makes some things in the game look smeared. Or as ShadowDestiny puts it: “It’s like telling the game: I want to see less on purpose.”

    Here you disable the “motion blur”
  • Leaving motion blur enabled will degrade your vision so drastically that it will literally make enemies harder to see.
  • This setting also makes you slower and your shots less accurate, because it’s only a disadvantage when you turn fast, for example when enemies appear behind you.
  • This setting can also cause small targets to appear larger than they actually are due to the blurring. So you don’t hit because you’re just shooting at the blur instead of the actual target.

    • This may not be a problem in games where reaction time and precise aiming are not important. But not in a first-person shooter like Destiny 2. That’s why you should disable motion blur immediately, even though it makes extremely low frame rates more tolerable.

    2. Smooth aiming

    Here you deactivate the option “smooth aiming”

    Sounds good, but it’s not: The term “smooth aiming” sounds tempting to many, which is why it is often activated. It is a mouse accelerator that makes using the mouse as a cursor smoother. Targets are accelerated gradually and evenly instead of reacting immediately to inputs.

    Some players are used to it and say it feels better when the feature is enabled. That is also true. The camera movement then looks a little smoother. However, you’re doing your muscle memory a disservice.

    The recommendation of experienced shooter players is therefore best to leave this option switched off, as it only makes it more difficult to build muscle memory for Destiny 2 and other first-person shooters. So it would make you worse in the long run.

    3. Controller vibration

    The recommendation is to disable “Controller Vibration”.

    A matter of preference: For the next setting in Destiny 2 “Controller Vibration”, disabling it is only a recommendation. Especially in Destiny 2 there are many players who no longer want to play without this immersion because it helps to be more aware in the game. Others, on the other hand, are only disturbed by the vibration.

  • For light PvE activities, the controller vibration in Destiny 2 can be quite useful.
  • However, the vibration can also cause you to “grab the controller to death”, shortening its lifespan and tiring your hands after a while.
  • This setting also drains the battery very quickly and also interferes with aiming, as it literally shakes your hands.

    • However, if you want to have good performance in Destiny 2, then the recommendation is to turn off the controller vibration. Especially since many things in Destiny 2, such as the radar, the health bar and the individual sound effects are more than sufficient to keep an eye on the game at all times.

    4. Vsync

    Vsync should also be disabled if there are no problems

    Only useful for display problems: “Vsync” is a setting that syncs your graphics card’s frame rate to your monitor’s Hertz. If the video output and the screen are not synchronized, there is sometimes stuttering, tearing or screen tearing, which results from an excessive discrepancy between the FPS generated by the graphics card and the refresh rate enabled by the monitor.

    So the best way to fix this problem is to make sure the video and display have matching refresh rates.

  • Unfortunately, however, Vsync also introduces a huge amount of input lag, making Destiny 2 feel insensitive and sluggish, especially in fast-paced PvP situations.
  • Enabling it essentially slows down your graphics card so it can guarantee synced frames.

    • So unless you have annoying frame tearing problems and you don’t care about the additional input lag, it’s best to turn off Vsync.

    5. Film Grain and Chromatic Aberration

    Here you disable the Film Grain and Chromatic Aberration option

    No disadvantage – but not nice: Film grain is also known as image noise. It’s a subtle visual and, more importantly, vintage film effect that puts a blurry filter over everything in Destiny 2. The “Chromatic Aberration” setting also comes from defects in old-fashioned films.

  • Film grain intentionally adds visual noise to everything you see.
  • Chromatic aberration is image distortion that tries to give the illusion of depth, but in reality it’s like watching a 3D movie without 3D glasses.

    • If you enable these settings and zoom in, you can clearly see the extra grain on the screen. That might not be a disadvantage, but it doesn’t really look good either.

    Turning both off results in a much clearer visual experience in Destiny 2.

    On the next page we’ll tell you why movement isn’t always good and how you can tweak sensitivity in Destiny 2 for better accuracy.
