It takes much more than just reflexes to pull that off

First-person shooters make you look pretty good when you're playing well, but one Destiny player took things to the next level.

A video made its way to the surface of YouTube, showing user Gleevac pulling off an impressive 46 kill streak in the Crucible. The longest kill streak ever is believed to be around double that figure, but unfortunately, there's no video to prove it.

In any case, you can rest assured, you're not missing anything when watching this daring sniper prowl around the map, casually taking out wave after wave of opponents.

The video shows a good amount of skill when it comes to aiming, but the most important lesson to take from this is that timing, positioning, having an escape route and knowing the map are also big factors when it comes to performance in Destiny.

Evasion is key, and knowing how to pick battles against single targets without exposing yourself to enemy fire comes along when if you're aiming for kill streaks.

Making good use of heavy ammo and specials, and having some cover to duck behind when things get rough are a pretty important, but good aiming skills also help.

Destiny is a beautiful game, and it looks even better when skill and artistry go hand in hand, as in the video below.
