Keyboard and Mouse in Destiny?...Enlighten Me

I know nothing about keyboard and mouse in destiny. Im hearing alot about people proudly saying they use a keyboard and mouse in pvp. Im not trying to start an argument but im trying to understand if this is legit and not against ps4 or bungie rules. Kb+m users always say the movement is the same so they dont have an advantage but doesnt a mouse allow u to aquire your target much faster and stay on target more consistently? Is it not just a point and shoot setup with a mouse cuz i dont know? On controllers u have to really finesse the sticks in unison so it is tricky and takes a ton a practice to be good at it. I have no interest in using a kb+m setup but im baffled by it because Im hearing it is a major advantage in pvp and the people using it say its not sooo...please enlighten me. First off Is it legal to use in Destiny and on PS4? Second How does it give an advantage and/or why does it not? Explain how the shooting mechanic works? In my eyes if it is point and click shot than that seems like a massive advantage alone. From arguments ive read about it seems it may be a huge advantage against console controllers. LMK...educate me please. Im a controller user and always will be but Id like to know what im facing in the crucible cuz sometimes some guardians seem unreasonably good...lol

  • I havent tried k&m for console myself, but i imagine with todays technical progress its not too different from using k&m on pc except for ingame mechanics such as aim assist. Therefor i think its kind of cheap playing competitively on console with k&m. Destiny is and will never be a truly competitive game though - its a fun and casual shooter. Not more. K&m is way better for fps games. Especially having a mouse instead of a stick. It allows extremely fast 180s or 360s while you are still very accurate close up. I might also make the assumption-although i never tried myself(!!)- that the aim assist isnt that big of a deal for k&m since the hitboxes in general are fairly big. Tl;dr : k&m definitely has the advantage over controller for fps. I dont mind ppl who use it outside of competitive areas (destiny is not a competitive game) but using k&m and bragging about stats or sth like that is silly.
