Buddy of mine asked about the new controller deadzones so naturally I responded with a 27min vid after burning 2 months doing extensive testing on every new (and old) setting lol, but hopefully some returning / new players can find it helpful (maaaay have gone off the deep end... don't make fun of my melee table😅)
PS5 user here. Just wanted to say thank you for covering all these settings. I kid you not I didn’t even know about the melee keybinds until you mentioned it. I’ve adjusted a majority of my settings after watching your video and honestly I feel like I’m running Destiny the best that it can. Thanks a lot!
Yknow I was gonna clock off at like 6 minutes or so because I’d heard most of it already. Then I looked at the length, and figured I might learn some stuff. The controller deadzones explanation is super helpful, gonna use the finisher key bind too lol. Thanks for this, great information.
There is one thing to add about that melee table. For option 3 (binding the same button to charged and uncharged) you can force the game to use the uncharged melee whenever you want by left-clicking. You can't use a charged melee if the game thinks you're attempting to fire a gun. The downside was that this made it impossible to shoot and then shoulder charge
For months I had constant controller drift problem and none of my emotes worked. I changed the dead zone settings and now it is back to normal. Thanks. I am now subscribed to you.
16:35 personally, I recommend having both bound. Hold crouch is very useful for sliding or quick maneuvering tasks. Sometimes though, I want to maintain a crouch without having to constantly keep a key pressed down. Usually to free up a finger for pressing other binds, while I'm wanting to stay crouched because of low height cover, that I peek out of only by moving to the side, and not uncrouching.
A tip for powered melee button layout, if you have paddles you can move it to a Dpad button and just make all emotes a double press on the same Dpad buttons this way you can power melee with a paddle and leave normal melee on the Rb/r1
This was fantastic! I thought I had most of this figured out already, but you added a lot of nuance that I was missing, I'll be making some adjustments (and subscribing). Stellar work!
Great video! Your explanations for each setting and why they matter put this leagues above all the other videos I've seen on this topic. This should be the go to for newbies.
if your a controller user i'd recommend binding charged melee to clicking the right stick and uncharged to the right bumper (rb/r1). then id rebind the interact button to clicking the left stick as sprinting will only happen if your moving forwards so it can serve as a dual function button. this replicates the melee style 2 that castle content has shown.
For controller users if you use right stick to crouch (or prefer it and wondered if it would mess anything up in Destiny) you can use finisher and crouch on right stick together. Use that to constantly slide and spam click to hit finishers, which will take you further if you hit the finisher at max range. Changing your class ability to Press: O or Press: B instead of hold so it's faster to instantly pop class abilities when you need to. When sprinting and using a class ability you still get the slide into rift or slide into barricade because it seems that they are intrinsically bound together since they are by default on crouch together.
For any one on console, the best thing you can do for melee settings imo is to make the finisher a two button press on left stick(or you could do what he recommended and use double tap reload button). Uncharged melee to single press right stick. And charged melee to single press RB. Uncharged melee is now bound to what most fps games use as melee. So if you play other fps games, it will feel more natural to uncharge melee stuff. It will take some getting used to using finisher with a double press but imo this is the best set up you can do for separating uncharged and charged melee’s on controllers. Hope this helps my fellow console players
Brother YOU ARE A TRUE HERO, I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT 85% OF ALL THIS since I started playing as a kid and started to get a bit more dedicated now that I’m an adult lol
This is a great video. I have long been bugged by the auto melee inconsistencies, and this has finally prompted me to just map to two different buttons. It's requiring some major muscle memory re-working, but it's so much nicer having direct control over it!
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!! since d1 I have been playing with mostly default settings and never knew the best settings for consoles. Hope you can make a video about what stats to prioritize for each character next!
@@CastleContent hahaha I’m gonna get the expansion just don’t have a lot of time to play so we’ll see how it goes. I have to congratulate you man, super happy to see how much your channel has grown!
Thank you for this vid, its helped me a bit on console but more importantly it helped one of my friends on PC fix a multitude of issues, i wasnt subscribed before but thank the stars this showed up in my feed because now i am, thank you for the vid
Great info. I'd like to add that centering the crosshair makes the ground take up much more screen space which means you might not see that enemy above you. Bungie started lowering the crosshair back in Halo 2 because most people run around with the reticle pointed at the ground, so this effectively gives you more vertical FOV. It's usually worth leaving it lowered IMO unless you sit really close to your monitor, like on PC.
Sorry, im not sabotaging years of muscle memory and industry standardization just to see a little bit more roof. You guys are going to regret all of this bungie doctrine bs once you decide to play a shooter that isnt on training wheels.
Bonus tidbit about console/controller FoV: it REALLY can mess with how the aa strength *feels*. In PvE, it doesn’t matter that much. However, it does in crucible. At 105 FoV, using Ace, aa felt almost nonexistent. At 95 FoV, what I usually run, Ace’s aa feels strong again. My guess is this occurs due to the aa cone staying the same in-game size regardless of FoV, but it *feels* stronger at lower FoV settings, even if it’s artificially so.
You never disappoint my man! Jumping into the final shape after about a year off nice to have vids like this to make sure I’m optimizing going back in! ❤
22:35 If you plan on running the salvations edge and disable shadows entirely you will not be able to see the shapes on the back wall during the 4th encounter.
Thank you for this. Not just tell us what's available to tweak but help us understand why we should and how to go about it all while not making your setting the mandatory solution.
Genuinely one of the best, most helpful, visually impressive and useful Destiny 2 videos I've ever seen. You've got my instant subscription. Thank you for putting in so much time, effort and hard work into this video. I know I'm not the only one that found it massively helpful.
The double tap square to finish I BEEN on that. Glad you shared it with folks. Allowing R3 to be melee and R2 to be charged melee! I will try that dpad down key for heavy on bosses!
For my keybinds and they have never let me down, I had to find the perfect setup, now I'm not traditional so I always mentally ponder my "per action" (which finger for which action) I jump with Right Click, I ADS with Space, Melee with X, MW Down for Dodge, MW Up for Heavy Attack, Middle MW Button for Charging Grenade (R for throwing them) F for Powered Melee and lastly Left Ctrl for Super, if you're feeling bold, these binds may aid you tactically ^_^
Titan Hammer main on Xbox here. For years I have had uncharged on R3 and charged on Rb. So I punch clicking in the stick, and throw hammer with Rb, I do it this way so its on the same side and I can move my stick and aim as I'm throwing it. I mean I still miss but, its not as easy throwing as a knife. Good information here, appreciate it and will be looking at my settings later today
Quick note about full auto firing, it makes canceling a bow shot super difficult, because it tries to knock another arrow as soon as you cancel the first one. If I'm using a bow I turn the setting off. Every other weapon I leave it on.
i have an ultra wide and destiny is one of the few games that allows you to move the hud like this with screen bounds being able to have the immersive fov experience of an ultrawide and the hud bounds of a standard monitor on top of the amazing visuals and scenery we get in destiny i highly recommend trying destiny on an ultrawide atleast once
Auto melee also messes up Hunter strand melee. If it's fully recharged by the time it comes back to you, and you just want to catch it, auto melee sometimes throws it away again if you don't release at just the right time.
a tip not alot of people talk about but is a huge QOL change is that auto melee works with glaives i personally c and e for my charged and uncharged respectively another thing is wind impulse causes some pretty bad shadow glitches with the foliage for me with an AMD 6700xt so if youre experiencing that turning it off could work
Another suggestion for keybinds/button mapping is that you can use a combination of inputs. For example, I can swap to my heavy weapon by pressing X + A at the same time. Great video 😎👍
Personally for melee binds, I like to run middle mouse as auto, 4 as charged, 5 as uncharged. I don’t see the other number keys often used in destiny so if you’re struggling for keys to use, maybe try this
Ahhh the auto melee thing - love that you pointed it out. I have always hated how if I am in close proximity of enemies, the punch defaults which is typically what I do NOT want. Im on PC but use controller after being a console user until this year. SInce Sega Genesis. Have never tried mouse KB.
6:36 - As a controller player, using 2 buttons for melee is a non-starter for me, so I use Option 3. It's not perfect, but it's the most reliable 1button option IMO. The only real draw back is not being able to reliably leverage 1-2punch, but not a big deal to burn my charged melee before DPS.
I have a duel sense edge controller. So I have 2 extra buttons on the back. I have the left back button binded to the left d pad, which is also binded my finisher. On my right back button, I have the bottom d pad binded, which is also binded to my charged melee. The reason Left and Down dpads are binded to my back button is because of Prismatic. I used to have Up and Down but for some reason you can't bind those 2 to activate Prismatic.
You vid about settings came out at the perfect time. Just last week my drivers were fucked so i had to remove em and reinstall. Everything in game was reset because of that.
I had auto melee on since launch of d2... Never knew I could switch it up until a few months ago. Best change ever lol. Id get so mad when I wanted to use a charged melee but it would just zip me in close for a punch and get me killed XD.
I play controller on PC, my key binds for melee are regular RB for charged, click in right thumbstick for uncharged, finisher is double click left thumbstick. This keeps alot of the melee the same, the only difference is you get the option to use uncharged when desired, and a small downside is that if you dont have a melee charge RB wont do anything.
That chromatic abberation thing has been bugging me ever since I got a new monitor; there's like, a little red line outside my radar all the time. Thanks for the heads up about fixing that!
Re console deadzones probably the clearest most helpful info on the subject amid the sea of personal preferences and Confusing jibberish you see on yet…my thumbs ty
that melee one, cream of the crop for fucking sure. for the longest time I was complaining about how I would smack something instead of using my charge because they were too close
there was a time where the game incorrectly applied HDR; if things look good to you, you're fine, but a lot of new players boot up D2 for the first time and the image is AWFUL, due to incorrect HDR application so I just wanted to raise awareness. You're probably fine as is.
You don't even need to set DIM as your homepage on the steam browser, as long as you don't close the tab or window and just press shift+tab again to close the menu, it will always open with the last tabs you had open, even persisting between different gaming or turning your pc off or anything, this is legit one of the best additions steam ever made
Awesome vid man. I have played Destiny since D1 alpha, and I just finished the finale shape while I watched your video. It was very helpful and had a few I didn't k kw about
About the melee options, specifically option number 3, this is actually what I use due to the fact of in reality I have near total control, when it’s configured this way when I (rarely) want to use uncharged, I can hold down m1, then press melee, to get uncharged melee. Why? Who knows
On the melee settings, I use controller, so when they introduced Finishers and Charged/Uncharged melee bindings, I kept my charged melee as RB (previously auto) and made my uncharged RS click. But my finisher was already RS long click (default) and this made me find weird interactions between melee and finisher across different classes. Warlocks can cancel a successful uncharged melee attack into a finisher, while Hunter and Titan cannot cancel a successful melee, but they can cancel a whiffed/missed melee. I would imagine this is leftover code from when Warlocks used to have a slower melee attack than Titan and Hunter but with more range, but the range and speed was standardized across all classes. I changed my finisher bindings to be LS click + RS click, but then they introduced Prismatic and that's the default binding to activate Transcendence, so now my finisher is LS double click (which still causes problems sometimes because my controller is broken)
On PlayStation I just made my charged melee as my finisher button and changed my finisher button to up arrow on my dpad sometimes I accidentally dance before killing a champ but it’s worked for me I changed it in the haunted season
Regarding melee configuration I usually just switch between 2 modes: 1 (Auto Melee) for PvP and 3 (charged and uncharged on the same key) for PvE. I really wish we could have multiple setting profiles for different game modes. Its really annoying having to switch between these keybinds everytime I play PvP or PvE.
ADS sens multiplier is again multiplied by zoom/10... So 1.5 in the case of Shuraya's Wrath. In the example that means your ADS is 10.5 compared to your hipfire aim's 10 if you are considering spinning in a circle as your metric.
Today i learned people struggled to see people on the radar Will say on controller changing yr melee settings does mess with certain artifact objects and the glaive melee that i dint think ever rlly got fixed where some use the standard uncharged melee key while others use the charged one and it’s very inconsistent Never rlly understood people who dont use controller vibration or recommend turning it off, i find it’s actually more useful and helpful when it’s on personally
For the TV thing, you have to change the scan settings on the device, not in game Also, thorough ≠ ocd 😭 HDR is not supported on all displays which is why it can cause problems
HDR does not auto turn off or on for me. I constantly change it on or off depending how often I am alt-tabbing as Windows is funky with alt-tabbing HDR. I suggest checking your Windows HDR settings auto HDR and all that. It def should not be turning on and off.
some are worse than others, but it's kind of 2-fold cause it also distracts your brain in the middle of a fight depending on the timing (imo) -- preference plays a role for sure

ADS sens multiplier is again multiplied by zoom/10... So 1.5 in the case of Shuraya's Wrath. In the example that means your ADS is 10.5 compared to your hipfire aim's 10 if you are considering spinning in a circle as your metric.
Thanks your video was really helpful
That titan build with the hammers doesn't work that way anymore because of a nerf that came over half a year ago. That's some really old footage.
Wooo new castle vid
Great vid man. Cheers
In cvars the default configurations appear.
How do I fix it?
SUPER helpful! Thank you
I wish we had a long reload keybind on pc. Sometimes it feels like it takes a full on 2 seconds to activate.
So much more flexibility on PC dang! Great video sir!
All I know is the biggest change I’ve made since starting in 2014 was binding Jump to right thumb stick
Today i learned people struggled to see people on the radar
Will say on controller changing yr melee settings does mess with certain artifact objects and the glaive melee that i dint think ever rlly got fixed where some use the standard uncharged melee key while others use the charged one and it’s very inconsistent
Never rlly understood people who dont use controller vibration or recommend turning it off, i find it’s actually more useful and helpful when it’s on personally
my controller weapon swaps, are wild d pad right for energy, click right stick is heavy
Having Dim in the steam overlay. Why have i never thought of doing that
For the TV thing, you have to change the scan settings on the device, not in game
Also, thorough ≠ ocd 😭
HDR is not supported on all displays which is why it can cause problems
HDR does not auto turn off or on for me. I constantly change it on or off depending how often I am alt-tabbing as Windows is funky with alt-tabbing HDR. I suggest checking your Windows HDR settings auto HDR and all that. It def should not be turning on and off.
Great video but I dont understand how vibration messes up aim. Do people have controllers that vibrate so hard the literally cant use it?
some are worse than others, but it's kind of 2-fold cause it also distracts your brain in the middle of a fight depending on the timing (imo) -- preference plays a role for sure
interesting vid. I put W as run and move forward. shift is grenade. melee is the issue.
