## KemoNine's Destiny 2 In-Game Config
{{<back_to_top>}}
### Important Notes
{{<back_to_top>}}
- **ALL config has been play tested heavily**
- This setup alternates hands for complimentary actions and balancing forces applied to buttons/triggers/sticks as you play
- This lets you move around while holding sticks for things like 'interact holds' or 'toggle crouch' -- if you have crouch on movement stick itll auto-drop you out of crouch because youve tripped the movement stick -- moving it to look stick fixed the problem -- the game engine input processing limits stick config options that work with the flow of movement in-game
- You can safely shuffle some things around based on usage patterns ; just dont change single/double/hold for how things activate ; a lot of this layout avoids issues with the input engine (see below)
- Long press events trigger single press events ; you should NOT overlap long and single press on a single button -- this appears to be a BUG in the input engine code
- With Strand using so many grenade, class ability and melee actions, the 4 paddle version was updated to make it easier to manage ability spam. The 2 paddle form _does work_ but is harder to use tactically in my _opinion_ and prompted the updates above
-**Vertical inversion:** inverted (I'm a monster, deal with it)

### Tuneables
{{<back_to_top>}}
- If you find yourself needing stasis breakout in a better spot than b, dpad may be a good spot if you can spare an emoji
- Long press events trigger single press events ; you should NOT overlap long and single press on a single button

### Important Notes
{{<back_to_top>}}
- This setup was reconciled against Destiny 2. In particular the `Discoveries / Options` and `Inventories` functions are in opposite locations compared to Destiny 2 by default and I have flipped them universally to help with muscle memory when swapping between the two games.
