Destiny Rising - Best Settings Guide

These are the best and recommended settings for Destiny: Rising. Read on to see the best settings to use in game, along with the list of available settings you can change!

Best and Recommended Settings for Destiny: Rising

Jump to a Setting!
Controls General
Effects Audio & Graphics Other

Best Controls Settings

Game Settings
Firing Mode Tap to ADS and Fire
TPP Mixed

We recommend setting Firing Mode to Tap to ADS and Fire, to allow you to choose exactly when to shoot, instead of automatically shooting at enemies.

For the TPP setting, we recommend setting it to Mixed, which allows you to switch between ADS and OTS firing modes, depending on your weapon and situation.

Best General Settings

Assisted Combat Settings
Aim Assist User Preference
Auto-Fire at Barricades On
Out-of-Ammo Auto-Swap On
Defensive Interaction Mode User Preference
Sword Guard Interaction Tap to Switch
Fire Settings
Right Fire Camera Shift On
Left Fire Visibility User Preference
Left Fire Button User Preference
Melee Weapon Attack Direction Follow Camera
Super Melee Attack Mode Attack When Targets Available
Shot Interval Hint User Preference
ADS Settings
Simultaneous Aim and Fire On
ADS User Preference
Semi-Transparent UI when ADS On
ADS Button Camera Shift Off
ADS after Reload Off
Sniper Rifle ADS Settings
Iron Bar 30
Instances 30
Shifting Gates 30

For the assisted settings, we leave most of it to user preference, except for Auto-Fire at Barricades and Out-of-Ammo Auto-Swap, which we recommend turning on, as these are nice Quality of Life features.

Fire Settings and ADS settings are mostly up to user preference. We recommend setting Melee Weapon Attack Direction to Follow Camera instead of movement, which should be helpful in instances where you are being swarmed by enemies.

Best Effects Settings

Camera FOV Settings
Field of View User Preference
Notification Settings 2D
Camera Settings User Preference

Having Notification Settings to 2D allows you to get a general idea of where attacks are coming from, but not to the extent where you need to pay attention to the arrows on the ground, which can be distracting.

Damage Text Opacity is recommended to be set at 80, to allow you to see the damage text clearly, but not at the expense of you losing screen visibility.

Best Audio & Graphics Settings

Graphics Settings
Graphics Mode Performance
Graphics Adjust on Overheat On

We recommend setting the Graphics Mode to Performance, as this allows for the Highest FPS regardless of your device. If you have a higher-end device, you can opt for Balanced or Quality instead, if you prefer higher graphics over higher frame counts.

Having Graphics Adjust on Overheat turned on should also be considered, especially if you plan to play the game for prolonged periods of time to not put too much strain on your device.

Best Other Settings

Other Settings
Mini-Map Mode Fixed
Login Scene User Preference

Setting Mini-Map Mode to Fixed should allow you to get a better view of the terrain and where you are currently.

The Login Scene is entirely up to your preference, as this does not affect gameplay, and only changes the Login Screen of the game.
