Hey Ben. Just wanted to say that you're my favorite youtuber, and watching your videos has helped me improve my sniping game. Glad to see you're posting again.
+mand0rk He is always posting, just not all that often as we all would have liked :-) I think if we all had our way, he would be pushing 10 vids a day at least :-D But you know what they say, good things are rare...
I agree with you on quick scoping giving some ridiculous AA, but the bit about hard scoping in the air just doesn't make sense. I've tested jump shots a lot and from what I could tell, hard scoping just makes the bullet cone out in a random direction. Idk if stability or range can help this, but there's definitely a random trajectory in midair shots. Like you stated tho, quick scoping seems to add a weird AA bonus. I know for a fact QSing used to be completely broken in this game back in its first few months of release, but they patched it. I still feel like there's something about it, tho.
Dude, I absolutely love your videos! You combine fact, tips, skills and technique with some excellent and genuinely hilarious commentary in a way that no-one else can. The fact that you have ZERO down-votes is a testament to that; keep it up!
I've been following you since I saw your Target Acquisition video on Planet Destiny because of your Faze/Optic sniping skills. I feel like I speak for the rest of the community, Please make more videos! (at your own pace ofc). We need them
Yes Daygon please keep posting vids, you are by far the best destiny youtuber out there. Your humor makes my funny bones jingle lickity split and your sweeties keep me fresh and clean on my game play. Thanks bro for all the videos you put out for us destiny players, you're the best!
daygon, you are without a doubt my favourite youtuber.. the way you bring your content is just brilliant.. oh and every time i've watched a sniper video of yours, im like, "yea lets hop on destiny and get some quikedyscopez!" after a few matches i realise that im not daygon.. well.. shit. anyhoo, as always a great and entertaining video.. keep it up!
I always enjoy watching these videos but then I learn the effects of perks like the range and it makes a placebo effect for my self and I do twice as good :)
The size of the hitbox is a constant, it doesn't change and it is not a "box". It's shaped like the player model, it's like an invisible doll or a mannequin. It's also fixed to the visible model. What you're after is bullet magnetism, all the perks and stuff you said is linked to bullet magnetism. This curves the bullets towards the hitbox. Best example for this is shooting a phalanx with a vex. Aim at the arm but the beams just keep curving towards the center and hit the shield.
+Hork3r Yea ... in one of the vids I referenced a Bungie dev was talking about how there is an invisible cone that extends out of all the guns in Destiny. What's variable is the size of the wide end of the cone. My wording may have been misleading which is why I don't claim to be an expert lol
Daygon | Gaming & Entertainment That's pretty much how Destiny does it, yeah. Nobody except Bungie is certain how it works on snipers. I guess it works on hipfire, though. So in theory yes, the bullet should curve and hit the enemy with high probability when transitioning from hip to ads.
I'm trying to be a game designer when I grow up so I know about those things but when you say that facts about the brain that's cool too. :) I like how you not only just use gameplay facts to help you out in the game but mental and game design too.
Another tip that makes quickscopes and noscopes easier is to use the arrow when sprinting or shadestepping to calibrate the enemies head and or their position. I have gotten more than 1 noscope headshots after shadestepping because of said arrow.
Its like im watching National geoghrapic or some cool history series. I guess thats why this makes it so intresting to watch and learning! :) Thank you!
+Tyler Williams Meee toooooo!!!! Mostly I'm just glad I'm in a whole different region and as such I will most probably never be down sight of either of them. Thankfully lol
Another way to assist with jump sniping might be the Celestial Nighthawk. I saw in one of Apex Cris's videos that it has the hidden perk Icarus, which increases accuracy in air (Although that was Year 1). I tested it out in PvE and found that more of my snipes were hitting then usual when I did so.
Daygon | Gaming & Entertainment Glad to share something you didn't know. I'm sure that given your skill for quick sniping you can make good use of this.
+Daygon | Gaming & Entertainment Love the Hawksaw (called it the PorkSword by accident once so will forever be known as this), not heard of that second one though.
commentary is hillarious. also, thanks for helping to break down game mechanics a little bit. helps understand how to actually improve. your videos are great. finally a question: quick sniping. is it easier with the snapshot perk? I feel like I need to improve my quick sniping (and I mean actually learn to do it) before jump sniping now
I feel snapshot and quickdraw (quickdraw does the same thing but also lets you switch weapons faster) help quick dragscoping a lot because they give you more time to adjust your aim after scoping in and it helps for quickscoping as well but Daygon doesnt use snapshot/quickdraw so obviously its not a necessity
I agree jump snipes are a thing in destiny I've tested it a few hrs on the cosmodrone and it seems that if you're at the peak of your jump and starting the decent down that is the point of most accurate time to quick scope. Now I've had different luck with snapshot and not having it. Can you elaborate on your luck with snapshot verses not having ? Easier or harder with or without. Also easier or harder with ambush or ShortGaze? Thanks for taking the time to post the video I'm always intrigued on your outlook on the game and it's mechanics. Really makes me think! I would love to help test for some of this stuff (if only we had customs) keep posting and we'll keep 👍
thanks! yea I'm just looking for possible explanations here. I know there isn't as much latency as there is in Halo because I don't find myself leading my shots so I just figure its the perks or quickscoping that allows ppl to hit targets that seem off.
The most important tip I can give to any sniper is to just to wing it. Go for it, take the risk. Sometimes, you might not get a kill but sometimes, you can do something sick.
yes sir... it takes about couple hours and a bunch of scrapped ideas lol I do it while rendering. The cartoony art ones on some of them I have a friend that draws them :)
Oh man, GREAT vid ... I miss u my friend... but i understand , the PVE is keeping me busy too... but now im starting to play crucible again... annnnnnd bommmm new vid from you rs DEUCES
Ben could you put out an "aggressive sniper mindset" type video? when I play with a sniper I end up too careful and don't get anything yet when I play aggressive I always get flanked or caught off guard
You should publish more videos. Your oral style and your humor you incorporate into your commentation/narration is good! So in summarization: you're hilarious, make more vids and you'll get paid! P.S. or start a streaming channel.
Daygon | Gaming & Entertainment I've been good man, thanks for asking! :-) Keep up the great work, you keep growing bigger every time you post a new video!
I've noticed that in air if you snipe, the bullet goes a little off where the dot in the sight is. How do you figure out where the bullet will land? Do you just get used to it?
seriously, you need to be making more of these videos, any video. the commentary is just v consistently hilarious and... aha! informative!
God I love your videos so much Ben, they're so unique!
thanks Jez! Means a lot :) you've inspired my next Bones of Eao vid haha
Man i see you every where btw ur great man so great
JEZZZZZ I LUV ya!!!!!! Can you friend me on psn my name is kyle12425atSOE!!! I'm a sub!

+kjhovey agree for the most part, but with snipers like defiance of yasmin or any other high aim assist gun, i find jump-hardscopes possible
You say that though, but I see you get quite a few jump snipes in your highlight vids hovey haha.
Dude, I absolutely love your videos! You combine fact, tips, skills and technique with some excellent and genuinely hilarious commentary in a way that no-one else can.
The fact that you have ZERO down-votes is a testament to that; keep it up!
Most unique videos on UA-cam. The only reason I don't hate you for your long wait times in between the highest quality destiny videos on UA-cam.
My absolute favourite youtuber, sarcastic wit and skill is a recipe for a great video! Keep it up fella
Ben is so, sooooooo underrated
Long time fan. You got me into this game. Thanks for all videos over the years.
I've been following you since I saw your Target Acquisition video on Planet Destiny because of your Faze/Optic sniping skills. I feel like I speak for the rest of the community, Please make more videos! (at your own pace ofc). We need them
Christopher Watkins and an expert marksman had a baby and named it Daygon.
+KawZ Ascend Lol!! Most spot on I've ever heard in trying to describe Daygon
Well done to you sir :-D
Markswoman?
Yes Daygon please keep posting vids, you are by far the best destiny youtuber out there. Your humor makes my funny bones jingle lickity split and your sweeties keep me fresh and clean on my game play. Thanks bro for all the videos you put out for us destiny players, you're the best!
daygon, you are without a doubt my favourite youtuber.. the way you bring your content is just brilliant.. oh and every time i've watched a sniper video of yours, im like, "yea lets hop on destiny and get some quikedyscopez!" after a few matches i realise that im not daygon.. well.. shit.
anyhoo, as always a great and entertaining video.. keep it up!
You should upload more often! I love your videos and I can't stand the wait in between them!
This dude is so sick, it's crazy. He'd make me break a couple of controllers!! Keep those videos coming, they are awesome.
I need this man to get on Twitch. Love the content and his entertaining way of putting it out!!!
just found your channel.. my eyeholes are watery with happiness and my earholes are smiley.. love the content you produce.. thank you.
I still can't believe you invited me to play Iron banner yesterday,you are one of the best snipers/destiny players I know
I always enjoy watching these videos but then I learn the effects of perks like the range and it makes a placebo effect for my self and I do twice as good :)
hahaha
never underestimate a placebo effect!
The size of the hitbox is a constant, it doesn't change and it is not a "box". It's shaped like the player model, it's like an invisible doll or a mannequin. It's also fixed to the visible model. What you're after is bullet magnetism, all the perks and stuff you said is linked to bullet magnetism. This curves the bullets towards the hitbox. Best example for this is shooting a phalanx with a vex. Aim at the arm but the beams just keep curving towards the center and hit the shield.
Actually its bounding boxes that are model shaped. But I see what you mean.
+Daygon | Gaming & Entertainment
They used to be box shaped, that's easy to make. Nowadays they tend to make them more round. It depends on the game.
+Hork3r Yea ... in one of the vids I referenced a Bungie dev was talking about how there is an invisible cone that extends out of all the guns in Destiny. What's variable is the size of the wide end of the cone. My wording may have been misleading which is why I don't claim to be an expert lol

+Mightea | Gaming & Entertainment i dont know why but your channel is amazing, probably because of the chill music and your voice
Can you do a video on how to snipe while under fire?
Almighty Deygoon please keep posting you are great at what you do
Thanks for posting a new video, everytime a see one of them it makes me laugh
I'm trying to be a game designer when I grow up so I know about those things but when you say that facts about the brain that's cool too. :)

Favorite Destiny UA-camr! Love your content Daygon :D
Daygon. Seriously please please please stream. You have a sub right here brother. Great videos man.
Another tip that makes quickscopes and noscopes easier is to use the arrow when sprinting or shadestepping to calibrate the enemies head and or their position. I have gotten more than 1 noscope headshots after shadestepping because of said arrow.
Such great content. Been waiting for this one and it was everything I wanted it to be. This might justify the purchase of a scuff controller.
I actually don't have one yet but with the new Evade mechanic I am curious to see how it plays
Killin it as always, Daygon.
Its like im watching National geoghrapic or some cool history series. I guess thats why this makes it so intresting to watch and learning! :) Thank you!
Between you and KJHovey....
I swear I see what you too are able to do with sniper rifles and it scares me...but in a good way
+Tyler Williams Meee toooooo!!!! Mostly I'm just glad I'm in a whole different region and as such I will most probably never be down sight of either of them. Thankfully lol
+Tyler Williams Also RealKraftyy. My god he is a beast as well.
lol definitely read the title as "ship jumping" and thought, oh this is going to be a funny raid video
i think we can all agree that almighty daygon is a god when it comes to sniping... those shots are just crazy onpoint i dont even think there is luck!
OH MY GOSH I GOT A HUGE SMILE ON MY FACE WHEN I SAW YOUR VID
Another good video! You say some accurate stuff. You have helped me!
glad to see you're back to making videos! We should play again soon....maybe on one of my better days lol
You're back!
yes Daygon you're back!
Daygon you should upload more frequently I really enjoy your vids and I was waiting for a vid since the end of year one...
the jump snipe at 1:20 was insane.
Another way to assist with jump sniping might be the Celestial Nighthawk. I saw in one of Apex Cris's videos that it has the hidden perk Icarus, which increases accuracy in air (Although that was Year 1). I tested it out in PvE and found that more of my snipes were hitting then usual when I did so.
hmm good point I'll try it out!
Daygon | Gaming & Entertainment Glad to share something you didn't know. I'm sure that given your skill for quick sniping you can make good use of this.
lol when you see your GT in the video.
Great video dude keep it up.
You need to make more videos man. Best on UA-cam. Favourite weapons in Crucibablebooble?

"I'll post a review over the new Hunter Subclass on Monday."
*Posts on Friday with a How to Snipe video*
Dude you are hilarious. Everyone one of your videos makes me laugh. Oh yeah I forgot, good sniping tips
The most important tip I can give to any sniper is to just to wing it. Go for it, take the risk. Sometimes, you might not get a kill but sometimes, you can do something sick.

Does the Icarus perk have an even greater jump snipe effect?
hilarious as always. hey who does the art for your video thumbnails
Daygon how do you hold yourcontroller? 2 fingers on the left bumper and left triger and the same on the right?
