Why does console intrinsically have more recoil than controller on pc
I’m tired of having to go against people on pc that just intrinsically have less recoil even when they plug a controller in.

My guess is because bungie had little to do with the PC build and it was likely done by one of the other better studios that were working on the game back then. Bungie went way over the top on recoil with Destiny 2 when they were trying to make a competitive game with longer time to kill and terrible movement and the game still suffers effects from it that is a part of why continuing D2 is not a great idea. It was built on a rotten foundation.

Edited by JazzyPaladin477: 2/28/2025 2:44:16 PMBecause PC= easy mode I remember back when destiny launched on pc, console players were upset that guns had zero recoil on PC in addition to m&k’s precision ( still remember streamers using recluse in raids just beaming ads from40-50m) The devs basically said in one of their videos “we didn’t think pc players coming from other games would like how it felt to have to control recoil” (yes I’m paraphrasing)

Mouse barely has recoil. If a player knows how to combat flinch, which is a thing, they use your incoming fire to hit crit shots. Meaning 1, 2, 3 your dead. Also this game is based on performance of the hardware. 30, 60, or 120 fps vs unlimited fps has its advantages as well. Creates d-sync scenarios.(the infamous “damage glitch”)

3 RepliesI feel the same issue you bring up. I'm not sure if it's recoil thou, it's like more aim assist on PC controller or bigger hit boxes or it could be the fps, I'm not 100% on what it is but PC controller feels much better than console controller

So your on console you do know you don’t play pc players unless you have a pc player in your group
