Glad im not one of those people who comments 10 seconds into the video. At first it didnt look like anything special, but now i know it is game changing, because of the speed and being able to infinitely grind using the dodge+grind trick to get off the skimmer immediately.
@@roundraccoon6141 my old reply to this post got deleted some how here’s the deets. When your skimmer is not grinding and you are in a semi rested position and you have some boost left over press dodge and grind at the same time then jump a quarter second after
regarding the fast dismount - you can practice doing the dodge+grind input by summoning the skimmer and pressing the buttons simultaneously. If done right, you should see your character do a really weird animation/pose - my hunter looks like its doing a matrix dodge lol. This seems to be the window you can dismount from. if they do the normal animation for dodge or grind, then you are probably not hitting them at the same time. once you get the timing down, you can do it mid air after exiting a grind . thanks for the video and info insane gamer 300
Awesome video; you did a great job both teaching a new method of movement AS WELL as teaching people the basic controls. My only question is: is this really faster than just spamming the boost button? It’s certainly better for traversing between areas that aren’t usually connected, but I think just spamming the boost has it beat in raw speed. The main reason I say this is because there weren’t really any reference points for how fast you were moving on top of the plateau, so it’s hard to tell.
this is definitely not faster than just spamming boost, I just tested it. But, its great if you need to cross a gap that you couldn't otherwise, you can go for about 15 seconds in the air doing this method which is really good. And then if you can get the instant dismount, you can just go forever.
For the instant dismount I found that the most consistent way to do it is by not being in a grind, hitting both dodge and grind at the same time then dismounting. But if that doesn't work try hitting dodge very slightly first. Super barely right before the grind. That should be more consistent.
How does the grind and dodge at the same time to dismount work? I can only get the instant dismout if Im in a neutral position on the floor and jump and dodge.
Looks like there was a fix already for wall climb. I hit right trigger to jump them left bumper at peak then right trigger to jump but at this time it is disabled can’t select jump till a few seconds later 😢
I did some testing in the mothyards, and I found that it takes a good slipstreamer about 6 seconds to cross mothyards, and the best I could get with the sklimmer was ~14 seconds. I could just be bad though.
I knew this, but i was essentially spamming rather than doing proper inputs, so it was inconsistent. Also, i know this is 3 weeks old, but the wall jump jumping was patched
Okay so I kinda just accept the crashes for now...sorta. Going between load zones tends to be the reason for my crashes so try not to do that. CheeseForever made a video on the crashes and why they happen. Go check out his video
so I was able to do it once on MnK. had it all recorded with a macro and it didnt work when reusing it with the macro. The dismount thing has to be tied to either framerate or camera angle. There is something weird happening cause even controller on pc is more consistent.
Dodge by double tapping a or d and from what I can tell it’s just dodge grind jump in a quick succession but I could be wrong on how to do the tech but that is how you dodge
I'm watching this video a bit later than its original release so this might be patched but, whenever I try to doge and grind at the same time to get off of the sparrow in mid air, it doesn't work. My character does a funny animation though. Maybe it has to do with the frame rate or refresh rate, because I know Destiny is janky like that but I'm not a tech wizard. I don't think this is a skill issue either because I doubt my timing was off. Does anybody know if Bungie patched this? EDIT: I also believe climbing up walls is patched
eva should give you a free trial version very close to the start of the quest. If you sparrow inv was full it went to postmaster, its on her second page if you accidentally deleted it
@@scorchinorphan1687 I mean it’s cool sure, but in terms of using it for flying? It pales in comparison to Sparrows. It’s slower in air, can’t fly vertically, dismount is slow and clunky. And all around generally the Sparrow flying community is unimpressed. Part of what makes sparrow flying fun is that well, you’re not supposed to be able to do it. And with the skimmer they intentionally made it useless to us.
@@JL32506 That’s what I’m saying though. It’s like your at a Skatepark and then a mini van full of Scooter Kids show up… I’m not being an elitist or trying to gate keep sparrow flying by any means… But what makes sparrowing fun is the fact that most people don’t know how to fly them. And different tool for different job? Other than doing preset emote tricks and grinding fake rails in the sky, what can the Skimmer do that the sparrow can’t more effectively and efficiently? Scale walls? Why do that when you can just fly up? Go fast? Sparrow goes the same speed? When it comes to tricks, the sparrow community thought that the skimmer would operate more like Skate 3 and not Tony Hawks pro skater. Ie: In Skate 3 its YOU flipping the board and YOU board sliding the rail. While THPS Is, here tap a button, hey look your grinding, presses button, oh look a kickflip. And besides that, your talking about people that fly sparrows so often they literally log on to destiny everyday for an hour or two just to do sparrow tricks. They don’t even play the game anymore. Just look at all the guys in the 4Dash discord server. Again though, is it new and refreshing? Sure…. But from the eyes of a sparrow flyer, it’s utterly useless. We’ve been asking Bungie for years to just sell us more Sparrow Trick Emotes and personally I think that would be more enjoyable for us over what the skimmer can do. The Skimmer to us is a way for non flyers to somewhat fly and not feel left out. Or maybe make the guy’s flying sparrows in the cistern not look crazy when a new light joins on patrol. Now, what I would do to change the skimmer? I would replace dodge with regular dodge, make shift key the destabilizers to roll the Skimmer. Control to jump, left Alt to grind. Then, while your “grinding” I would add a balance mechanic where you actually had to balance and control the grind or slide. That would have been 100x more interesting. Even just being able to “literally” grind ledges in the game would have been cooler in my opinion. It would force you to look at the environment and find things to skate just like, well, Skate… And the second you take that freedom away from the player is the second you create a bland experience. That’s what the sparrow does better than the skimmer aside from Emote tricks. What do we have on Sparrow? We have a left and right “nik nak” The Superman. And No hander.

i dont usually watch or like videos like this but you have such a genuine and calming vibe
Thank you!
I've got this down for people wonderin. You need to have boost energy to hop off mid air Dodge+Grind+Jump while having a bit of energy
all at the same time?
When you say jump do you mean the hop the skimmer does or do you mean regular jump (spacebar/a/x)? Also is that all at the same time?

@@roundraccoon6141 I have a video on my channel showing it like 2-3 times in one line if you need a visual for timing

Goodbye always on time hello skimmer
Granted always on time does have another use
Hasn't even been a week since Guardian Games began and we already got new vehicle tech 😂might try this out myself so appreciate the video

btw, during the Skimmer Skate, you can also still hold boost. Not sure if it truly helps a lot, though.
New tech discover in such a short amount of time insane
i love how destiny is essentially becoming Tony Hawks Pro Skater with guns
Mashing buttons on this thing does hella cool shit😂
ty for actually having something worthy of posting instead of "duuurrr this is how you grind duuuurr game breaking tech"
Woooooooooooo New Skimmer Skate
Skimming
Bro you sound like ai bro what happened
But regardless keep the grind up lol
Just as I got it down… my game crashed. I hope Bungie fixes this soon. 😂 thanks for sharing the tip!
I absolutely cannot get the instant dismount down. I've tried everything that you've suggested and even capped my fps
REALLY cool
Thank you so much! It's actually quite simple to get the hang of.
No problem! I may make another video on this soon as I've found some other techs since this video
The goat. And we all thought grinding across prophecy was the way to go lol

This is faster than grinding normally in the air, the ground movement of spamming boost may be faster but im not sure. And thank you!

Kick flip tech, nice
This new overboard deserve a comeback for a race activity
Now that would be awesome, and have a higher skill ceiling than sparrow racing.
I’m still getting used to thanks for the vid and can you tell me the name of the music pls 😭

Any more tips on the dismount timing? Can't seem to get it...

Not even a bloody week and we found a way to break it
How's distance per energy compared with the grind?
Its a good bit further with more energy

My body is ready
It's amazing lots of people don't know about spamming boost & strafe, how fast you can go with it
It is actually really fun to use. Especially as not everyone has one yet 😂😂
For me I do dodge then grind in an alternating fashion also I can't get off when I press dodge and grind at the same time it doesn't do it
im assuming not but has this been compared to slipping in terms of speed? it looks slower in regards from point A to B but still def really cool!
Style pointsssss, and who knows. Give it a few days and someone will discover something else
I did some testing in the mothyards, and I found that it takes a good slipstreamer about 6 seconds to cross mothyards, and the best I could get with the sklimmer was ~14 seconds. I could just be bad though.
I cant get this thing to do the grinding part. Im about ready to just go back to a regular sparrow at this point😡
Nice one!! Found some tech myself
I SAW! That was crazy how fast you could move on the ground. If theres any way to maintain that speed in the air ohhh that would be wild
looks like the dismount is framerate dependent. 30 fps makes it very consistent
Really? I did it consistently at 60 fps. Try hitting dodge ever so slightly before the grind
Just tried 60, feels great. uncapped is very very inconsistent however@@insanegamer3003
@@insanegamer3003it seems 60 fps works just fine too but uncapped at 150 was very inconsistent
Did you know you can D-Pad up, down, left, right while boosting and grinding for cool skate/surfing moves.
I cannot get the grinding + dodging at the same time to dismount to work...
I added it in the description but you want to be in a neutral position before you hit both at the same time so don't be grinding
Tried this in the first minute lol
I knew this, but i was essentially spamming rather than doing proper inputs, so it was inconsistent. Also, i know this is 3 weeks old, but the wall jump jumping was patched
Skimmer skate
mhm
Amazing.
Nice gotta practice the skimmer shift first
The skimmer keeps crashing my Xbox. It's unusable until fixed. How do you keep it from not crashing?
Okay so I kinda just accept the crashes for now...sorta. Going between load zones tends to be the reason for my crashes so try not to do that. CheeseForever made a video on the crashes and why they happen. Go check out his video
but how do i grind on pc? what input?
i do have one question in the non exotic skimmer what is the diffrence in the two engines ?
One is a bit slower as far as I can tell
@@insanegamer3003 cool cool thanks !!!!
so I was able to do it once on MnK. had it all recorded with a macro and it didnt work when reusing it with the macro. The dismount thing has to be tied to either framerate or camera angle. There is something weird happening cause even controller on pc is more consistent.
dope
pls make more vids with this chill ah vibe nah im saying
What is the grind button?
Yooo wtf they added new sparrows????? Are they easy to get?
I guess they wanted to noobify sparrow flying like they did when they added eager to noobify the old skating tech
well sparrow flying is officially dead
atleast we can still slipstream
dunno if its just me but i can just press space bar and i jump of the skimmer instantley
but nice nether the less xD
What is the shader on the skimmer pls
Flawless RON Shader
Don’t believe this is possible on Xbox cause 1.b does nothing 2. You can’t rebind the grind to b and right stick doesn’t work
sheeeeeeeeeesh
Unfortunately though, wall climbing was fixed, but at least the game crash was fixed too
Skimmini toilet ohaio rizz
Its not letting me grind, anyone know the issue?
odd, what platform are you on?
You have to have toggle crouch on I just learned that too
All is B the crouch botton...i changed my crouch to the right analog stick
skimmers drop the season I start getting the hang of slipstreaming :(
give a pc input and how do I dodge??

Has to be a perfectly vertical wall basically
Cool stuff, but the tutorial part is super confusing, especially if you play on another platform.
Guys get on ye board an hit some buttons it's fun asffffffff 😝
Yeah you guys might as well give it a try until b Bungie patches it because they will or until they Nerf it
Isn't the sparrow fly faster anyway?
Sparrow flying on a budget
Is it fixed. It won’t work
I guess I learned slipstreaming for nothing 💀
Hope you guys know once this event is over the skimmer is going to get nerfed and you wont be able to do this any more
