Destiny 2 Pro Settings & Hardware from 40+ Content Creators

Unlike games that focus 100% on competitive PVP, Destiny 2 is a looter shooter that does both PVE and PVP.

In fact, while Riot Games puts huge resources into higher-rate tick servers for Valorant, Bungie is about to release a major expansion including a new game-world, campaign, raids, and more.

As Destiny 2 is a different beast, this “Pro settings” list is different too. Instead of covering the settings of only professional PVP players (as is done for CS: GO or Valorant), this list covers the content creators and streamers the Destiny 2 community looks up to.

Make no mistake, this list includes some of the best Destiny 2 PVP & PVE players but prioritizes the players you and I religiously follow either on YouTube or Twitch.

Destiny 2 Pro Settings: M&K Settings

In this list, we cover some of the most important in-game settings and hardware, so you have an idea of what our favorite content creators use on PC with a mouse & keyboard:

* The settings for this content creator come straight from their Twitch channel (I, unfortunately, couldn’t directly get in touch with him).

Controller settings and hardware

These are the settings some of our favorite content creators use on PC with a controller:

About eDPI

eDPI stands for effective Dots Per Inch, and it’s calculated by multiplying the mouse DPI with the in-game sensitivity.

eDPI is used to properly compare the actual sensitivity used by different players. By the way, eDPI is unique to each game and cannot be compared to the eDPI of another game.

PS: If you would like to be added, or think of a content creator that should be definitely added, you can let me know on Twitter.

Takeaways: Trends and personal preferences

Looking at the settings of nearly 40 top players, we can see some trends appear:

• DPI and Sensitivity don’t mean anything individually: Look at eDPI instead (DPI * Sensitivity)
• Average eDPI: 4,150
• Median eDPI: 4,000 (usually 800 DPI and 5 sensitivity)
• Average ADS sensitivity: 8.9
• Most play at 1080p resolution: Most prefer high fidelity and frames than gorgeous 4K graphics.
• Average Monitor refresh rate: 181 Hz
  • A monitor with a fast refresh rate is very important
• Big mousepads are better (see point below)

At the end of the day, everything comes down to personal preferences. You should use the settings that feel good to you. That said, all the good players agree that playing with a lower sensitivity is better than the opposite.

A few months ago, I decided to move from around 8000+ eDPI to my current 3200 eDPI based on some research and advice. After a few hours of practice, my aim was much better. It becomes much easier to aim and flick, but you’ll need a big mousepad to accommodate the wider movements!

How this list was created

For the sake of clarity, this list is not simply based on my own favorite content creators or streamers. It includes my favorites, yes, but also the most popular ones and many I didn’t even know about before but were highly recommended by others.

Some of the big names are missing, but that’s because I couldn’t reach out to them (neither via DM nor email). If you are reading this and want to be included, reach out to me on Twitter or on the comments below.

This list is not set in stone and I count on you to help me keep it updated and relevant for as long as Destiny 2 is around!
