In the MMO shooter Destiny, it is possible to play permanently in third-person perspective with a trick. However, this only works under certain circumstances.
Most of the time, Guardians spend in first-person: they look directly over their weapon, taking aim at their enemies in PvE and PvP, and also perform melee attacks from this perspective. You only switch to third-person view – so that you can see the entire Guardian – when you carry out the Super, have a sword in hand, or use an emote. Even in the social spaces, you see your Guardian from head to toe.
The YouTuber WiLLiSGaming now shows a trick on how you can stay in third-person permanently in PvE and PvP – thus shooting with your weapons as well. From about minute 1:30 he explains:
Destiny as a Third-Person Shooter
You need a Stormcaller Warlock and a buddy who is a Nightstalker Hunter. This trick should not work with other classes. Now start a private match against each other.
Fully charge your Super attacks. Now the Hunter shoots his arrow at the Warlock, binding him. Immediately after that, you activate the Stormcaller Super. As soon as the Warlock is no longer bound, he can play in third-person with his weapons. This perspective remains permanent.
However, you cannot gain any advantages with this: on the one hand, it only works in certain situations. On the other hand, you only have the imprecise crosshair intended for the Stormcaller Super. Precise hits cannot be achieved.
This cannot be called a new exploit or game-breaking glitch. The YouTuber himself says that he does not see any advantages in playing this way. But if you want a little variety, you can try it out in a private match.
By the way: This trick is supposed to work in PvE as well. If you are suppressed, you need to activate the Stormcaller Super.
Interesting: Destiny 2 makes a Firefly: Dirty Space Western instead of Mysticism
