Best Destiny: Rising Controller Layout
Now that you’ve paired your controller to enjoy Destiny: Rising, you can customize your controller layout at will. Not only that, other settings such as sensitivity, swapping shoulder buttons, and more. My recommended settings don’t differ too much from the default ones.
