Destiny 2 3-peeking "a complicated issue", Bungie investigating changes

 Posted on July 8, 2023  |  3 minutes  |  638 words  |  Patria Henriques

Bungie has said it's currently discussing Destiny 2's "3-peeking" issue, but made no promises changes will be made. 3-peeking, or third-person peeking, is the act of forcing the normally first-person camera into third-person, giving PvP players an advantage because they can peek around corners safely. 3-peeking is a long-standing issue in first-person shooters that have some third-person elements, but it's particularly troublesome in Destiny 2's competitive multiplayer. Destiny 2 is a game full of legitimate mechanics that pull the camera back into third-person, including swords and emotes, and some players use this to gain an upper hand in the Crucible, Destiny's PvP arena.

A modern multiplayer classic finally comes home to console, although the package is as scrappy as the action itself. There's a folder on my PlayStation 4 that's reserved for the really good stuff. It's where Towerfall Ascension sits alongside Nidhogg and the brilliant compilation that is Sportsfriends. It's where I head when friends are around, when I want a guaranteed good time, and ever since creating it there's been a little slot reserved for Gang Beasts, that party game par excellence.
