Mastering the controls is crucial for survival in Destiny. Here's a breakdown of the fundamental actions you'll be performing:
- Movement: Use the left stick (console) or WASD keys (PC) to move your Guardian.
- Jumping: Press the jump button (A/X on console, Spacebar on PC) to jump. Each class has a unique jump ability (e.g., Hunter's Double Jump, Titan's Lift, Warlock's Glide) which can be activated by pressing the jump button again mid-air.
- Sprinting: Click the left stick (console) or press Shift (PC) to sprint. Sprinting is essential for covering ground quickly and evading enemy fire.
- Crouching/Sliding: Press the crouch button (B/Circle on console, Ctrl on PC) to crouch. While sprinting, pressing crouch will initiate a slide, which can be used to quickly move into cover or dodge attacks.
- Melee Attack: Press the melee button (R3/Right Stick on console, V on PC) for a close-quarters attack. When your melee ability is charged, this will activate your powerful special melee.
- Grenade: Press the grenade button (L1/LB on console, Q on PC) to throw your equipped grenade.
- Class Ability: Press the class ability button (B/Circle on console, C on PC) to activate your class-specific ability (e.g., Hunter's Dodge, Titan's Barricade, Warlock's Rift).
- Super Ability: When your Super is charged, press both shoulder buttons (L1+R1/LB+RB on console, F on PC) to unleash your devastating Super ability.
Practice these movements in a safe environment like the Cosmodrome to get a feel for your Guardian's agility and abilities.
