Every weapon in Destiny has a certain recoil – so does in Destiny 2. However, the PC version is different.
With Destiny 2, Bungie’s MMO shooter is making its debut on PC. Vicarious Visions, an Activision studio, is working with Bungie on the implementation. Some adjustments are necessary to transfer the existing console shooter to a “mouse and keyboard control”.
One adjustment is a complete overhaul of the weapon recoil system.
Recently, a statement from Project Lead Mark Noseworthy caused confusion as he spoke about the recoil:
The recoil with a controller feels very good. ‘I shoot, I shoot, I shoot, oh, I’m losing a little control over my weapon.’ That feels great, especially with the magnetism and all the magic in the controller. With a mouse and keyboard – you don’t want the mouse to move without you moving it, here the recoil doesn’t feel good.
Noseworthy stated that there is “no recoil” in Destiny 2 on PC. However, he has now backtracked.
Weapon recoil also exists on PC, but in a modified form
Noseworthy and the community manager DeeJ later quoted statements from the PC Project Lead David Shaw to clarify this misunderstanding:
Destiny 2 will also have weapon recoil on PC. However, this has been heavily modified to allow for a “fantastic mouse-keyboard gameplay” that still feels like Destiny.
In a second Twitter post, Shaw referred to this video showcasing your gameplay on PC:
By the way: If you use a controller on PC, Noseworthy stated that Destiny 2 plays like the console version.
Since there will be no crossplay for Destiny 2, the fact that the PC and console versions use different mechanics has no impact on the competitive scene.
On which platform will you play Destiny 2?
