Here are 70 things you might be doing wrong in Destiny 2. Unless you're the most perfect player to ever exist, you're probably making a good number of these mistakes. This video aims to point out some of these errors so you can correct them and become a better player... and just have more fun playing Destiny! This video took a really long time to make so I really hope you enjoy it. Thanks so much for watching.

"Xur often has amazing rolls." I am considering taking Xur to court because his rolls have been so bad.

12:02 For Number 32, Dont delete the Planetery Material. You can store it in vault and exchange it for glimmer later at rahool. 20 PM for 2, 500 glimmer.

I did three nightfalls with randoms last night, and each time we passed the orb for max damage. It was beautiful

[zachary_smith]

Bro. So many of these I didn’t know. The tormentor tornado is helpful as hell. Also clearing all the stuff at one time by main screen clearing. Omg. Thank you so much. Lots of these are gold.

#51 - holding forward while on your sparrow actually shifts your weight towards the nose of the sparrow. This is extremely noticeable on sparrows with the perk "Air Control". Holding forward while clearing a small gap will influence the sparrow to hit the ground quicker which actually makes you a little faster. Same if you clear a gap and hold back, this will shift your weight to the back of the sparrow and make it take longer to hit the ground.

(4:28) For number 59. Realistically all you need is a artifice class item for the free +3 stat boost, and a Iron Banner class item. Incase you didn't know if you put a IB ornament on a IB piece of armor it counts as 2 armor pieces so you could run a exotic and still get the 5/5 for the increase in rep gains in IB .

Something I haven't seen anyone talk about is how you can use Blinding GL to stop thrusters shooting at you for like 5 seconds, and it's very helpful useful in GMs

[Emrakul-eeru]

The tip of invading at the beginning of an enemy's primeval spawn is actually sabotaging people. The Primeval Slayer buff you receive from kill envoys improves damage output to the boss and future envoys. If you can slow down the start of the primeval chain as much as possible, it will be harder for the enemy to get going; also just waiting a couple seconds isnt bad at all bc they will likely have killed the first envoys and are just getting to damage which you can stall out even more

[thenopegun]

On the mote banking, I see a lot of players who, when your team is within 10 motes of getting the primeval, will run to try and get to 15 motes. Bank and get your primeval, and then invade every chance you get. The fact that you're invading is enough to put 1 or 2 players on the other team on edge enough to slow down their mote gathering and banking process. So, just bank the motes.

12:00 Rule 32: As of Season 21, you can still sell planetary materials to Master Rahool for glimmer. Buy a bunch of raid banners, shaders from Ada-1, exotics from the kiosk, or just keep them for emergencies.

[erichnowe]

These are all good tips, even for experienced players. 3 caveats: 1) The old planetary materials he mentions to discard, are actually turned in at the Tower Cryptarch for large amounts of glimmer. You may need this as a returning player to afford new fragments through Ikora Rey. 2) Bubbles in PvP are susceptible to certain supers, which are extremely effective at taking down the bubble and killing everyone inside. Every strategy and build has a counter. 3) People treat the game like a job, because they profit from playing, from things such as posting videos on YouTube...

[dragonrider]

Most of these seem fine and all, but have that feeling that you MUST be as efficient as possible in every single thing you do in this game. Open your director faster, break habits that cause weapons to fire a fraction slower, etc. If you want to be the most efficient go for it but the game already plays with the idea of feeling like a job enough as is with the amount of stuff to do on reset, pushing yourself to be the most efficient or the best in every regard is just unhealthy after a while, but that's me lol.
Happy gaming everyone :)

[davidallen]

On class items you are missing a few. I keep an Iron Banner class item, the specialty class item for an event, and one artifice class item. Each one has it's own special properties.

[seankennedy]

#22 and #15 are great pieces of advice to all players that I cannot recommend enough.

For #22, there have been so many times where a YouTuber will talk about a meta weapon/perk and I'm just like, 'meh, it's not for me'. Unless I'm doing a solo dungeon or a Day 1 raid, I'm usually running sub-optimal loadouts that are just fun or low maintenance.

For #15, too many players get caught up in the 'Destiny grind'. Let's be honest with ourselves, you don't need to get every Pinnacle every week, you don't need to play everything the minute it comes out, you don't need to grind for every Triumph. While I am still pretty active in the game and try to get every Triumph/Seal, there are still many days where I hop on and just decide to play something fun that provides zero benefit to my 'progress', whether it's doing a repeat raid I enjoy or just going on LFG to help someone out in a dungeon or campaign mission. Destiny is meant to be a place to have fun, so HAVE FUN.

Also, shoutout to all of the Gambit advice, unfortunately all of the blueberries I play with will never see this video... (or at least it feels like it)

Imagine bungie doing this for destiny but they are busy smoking money.

[PercyBoom]

One thing I want to add about the double special weapons. Bungie has a feature that gives you more heavy ammo if you have double special! So your heavy could technically be your ad clearing weapon, as you will get a lot of heavy ammo.

[MajestyVII]

“BRO HE ONE SHOT”
my brother in Christ that person hasn’t even been hit and there are 2 of them.

[vohvo]

Shadow is the only person that'll make a second channel to create smaller vids and then makes a 23 min one about 70 different things lmao





Joking of course, love the high quality content keep it up! <3

[resengor]

Small extra point about class items: if you want to leave only one class item: leave any one from Iron Banner because it has traits useful for any Iron Banner event.
