Traction Mod. Character movement improvement.

Dear Bungie, why is the limited angle of turning while sprinting is a thing? Traction mod for legs armor is almost necessary for people to feel truly comfortable with movement on a character. Could we please get rid of this mechanic? It feels like the traction mod just takes a mod slot for no reason. Why are we limited with how hardly we can turn while running?

  • No idea, but then I only used for the extra movement.

  • We are limited due to an attempt to be realistic, probably, although why I have no idea; alien zombie wizards and bio-robots aren't exactly realism. You can't turn that fast in real life, ergo, you can't in-game.

  • I've never really had a problem with the slow-turning rate of sprinting, despite playing at 3 or 4 for all of my destiny career. It's baffling that there are people that play on 10 and still consider it slow. Though, it's hardly a problem if you know of the simple trick where you stop sprinting for a split-second to get a faster turn rate, then sprint again. Suppose I'll have to wait till I get my hands on traction to make any judgements, though.

      • If you’re on controller, traction is non-negotiable.

        • I've refused to use traction to avoid the shellshock of going back and forth

          • I hate the Traction mod. Having that type of movement by default would give me vertigo.

            • Doesn’t traction also have a hidden +10 to mobility?

              • It goes on all my boots...I don't understand why the game just doesn't run this way? I can't not have traction on.

              • Traction should just be intrinsic on all boots! That is all!

                • Yeah this needs to be intrinsic, PC players dont have to waste space for this dumb mod that shouldn't be necessary. I've tried taking it off and it made me wanna shit in my hand and slam it into my chest.

                • I agree that this should just be another setting like look sensitivity. Another thing that drives me nuts is that look sensitivity only impacts horizontal movement, not vertical. I hate that I cannot look up-down as fast as I can from side-to-side. And while they are at it let me adjust the dead zone on the sticks too.

                • You finally have a weapon in this game that shoots straight and your nerfing it. The weapon is a exocite and should be better than purple,blue,, green and white weapons. There is noting wrong with hardlight.. Leave it alone...

                  • Traction being 3 energy is an additional kick to the groin. At the very least it should have just been ONE. It should also just be a setting in options.

                  • Traction was a must for me, unfortunately when armour 2.0 came along I couldn’t get traction to drop and it made the game so unenjoyable to play it was one of the main contributing factors to me stopping playing altogether. . . And yes I poured thousands of crucible / vanguard tokens and gunsmith materials into trying to get it. Shitty design from Bungie yet again. .

                    Hunter can bypass it with dodge. When you take tight angles just dead bank your camera angle to compensate. Takes some practice. It feels weird since I stopped using it in my PvP build to free up the slot and once you get use to dodge to compensate for it you dont feel a difference. Titans can do it too with shoulder charge and locks with icarus dash. But Its not spam-able like a hunters which at the top pvp tiers always have a max mobility stat. Either a soft 100(80 hard mobility stat & +20mobility from a lightweight weapon), or a hard max mobility build with wormhusk. [b]But yes I agree it is a MUST use or you MUST adopt a play-style to compensate, if you refuse to do either you are going to get caught far to often for being to slow to take cover.[/b]

                  • You want fast, snappy movement play CoD (no seriously, been loving HC mode and dabbling in WZ). Coming back to D2 to play GG with my bro and my titan feels slow af. Also my armour seems to have been replaced with cut-rate Chinese imported recycled tissue paper.

                    • I have PC envy because they can turn and slide+aim and all this movement that console can’t perform. They don’t even need traction. They just use it for the +5 mobility.

                      • I am unbroken and can't play with traction It throws me off soooo hard But making it 2 instead of 3 energy would be nice

                      • I turned in planetary mats til I got my last few MIA mods. Seemed like a mod dropped every 4-5 packages. Rotated planets til traction FINALLY dropped. Hope that helps!

                          • Trying to slide in and out of engagements without traction is the worst experience ever. I didn't use T steps for all of forsaken cuz I couldn't get a traction roll smh.
