Field of View is a commonly misunderstood setting in Destiny 2 that can have a massive impact on your in-game performance and accuracy. With a minimum of 55 and a maximum of 105, the FOV setting provides advantages and disadvantages depending on what value you select. This video covers exactly how FOV works so that you can hopefully make an educated decision about what FOV setting is truly BEST for your personal playstyle. Even if you're on an older console, this video still applies to you because of crossplay and because you may switch to another platform in the future.

1) Watch this next: Controller Sensitivity Guide: https://youtu.be/bnBo_53hmek 2) Cyber Month deal!

Just to add on - when making my exotic not-tier list, I found a number of them to be borderline unusable at 105 FOV. Since switching to 95, all of them behave as intended. Definitely feels like a visual glitch on Bungie's part, but at least now I'm getting the true representation of what my weapons are capable of, which helps to build consistency in my game. Fantastic job with this video, hope this blows some people's minds.

The reticle hiding under high FoV is so frustrating to deal with lol, there's certain guns like crimson that just feel awful on max FoV. I also find it interesting in the aim training community for MKB, a lot of people will change their FoV for various scenarios (like 115+ for very wide angle practice on target switching). I feel I can get used to a new FoV much faster after this kind of practice. Awesome video, lot's of great info here!

This is absolutely one of the most useful destiny videos I've ever seen. I've been playing on 105 because, well... because! I'm definitely gonna try out new settings later.
-
Holy shit brother. This is literally game changing. 95 is now my default FoV, and I have you to thank. You’ve always been the guy I send my viewers and friends to when they have questions on how to improve gameplay when I can’t explain stuff very well by myself. Thank you man, you’re incredible and will always have my full support behind you.

If you’re on controller it makes a lot more sense to bring the fov down a bit. 80 seems a bit low, 85 is probably as low as I personally would go. But he’s right! It makes it much easier to hit precision shots. Mnk is so much more precise intrinsically to where it makes more sense to pull fov out more for less recoil and map awareness (recoil is much easier to control on mnk)

This video was fantastic. After switching to 105 FOV on PS5, I noticed that both my hand cannon and sniper accuracy was way down. I thought it was due to increased team shooting and the aim assist changes with snipers. Changed it to 85 last night and hitting shots felt easy (first game with my old Dire Promise and Adored was a We Ran on Altar). Thanks, Shadow.
-
It's been a few weeks and this video brought me back in the groove of sniping, I didn't understand why I felt so off sniping in destiny 2 when it was my highest kill weapon in destiny 1. Thank you.
-
Your videos always contain the most insightful content and info, with this being no exception to that standard. Thank you for the great video! Gonna go back to the lower FoV, after maxing it out when I switched to the next gen console, and see if my PvP performance goes back to what it was before.

This was blindingly obvious to me a few weekends ago during Widows Court trials. I'm normally a very good sniper, but the combination of unusually long engagements and playing at 105 FOV made opponents damn near impossible to hit. I couldn't see jack. Definitely going to try something closer to 90 after seeing this vid 👍
-
I noticed this a while ago. I noticed that with bows my accuracy was worse then I remember. And after Destiny added the ability for consoles to up the value I had upped mine considerably. Reverting a bit, but not totally to what the default was. Now around 85 to 90 made it all seem comfortable again when aiming and trying to be as precise as before. HC's, Sidearms, and almost every weapon just seems much easier to use again.
-
Top-quality video again bro! I learn something new every time!
-
Shadow….this has helped me so much I can’t even tell you. I was at max FOV (I’m a sniper) and I lost count how many times I’d get killed trying to acquire a target bc they blend into the background too much. Just dialing it back 10 has helped immensely. I’m starting to get doubles now, something I’ve never done before
-
Definitely gonna be lowering mine. I have felt like certain things were off when I played and this explains a lot!!
-
I think for new players, this is great, but for me for example, I've been playing on 105 since the start of D2 and I am a decent player (2.0 KD in Trials) and my personal advice to players who ask me for tips is consistency. I can tell you how I play the game, but what matters is practice and consistently getting used to whatever. I like extremely low DPI with max FOV, but someone who learns to use something different can be just as good or better.
-
This really puts into perspective why I have always preferred my PS4 over my PS5 (which I play at 105) for PVP. I guess I'll be backing it down some and seeing how it goes.
-
Its crazy how u mentioned thorn and ace because those 2 hand cannons have been and still are the hardest for me to get used to. definitely gonna give them another try after watching this
-
This was an amazing video man! It’s seriously feels like I opened my eyes when dropping down my FOV to 80. You are so right that at first it hurts but then gets better
-
Solid. Looking forward to trying this as a GL/sidearm main.

9:26 that transition made me subscribe. (And the quality content lmao)
