Ballistics Curves

I’ve run the XIM4 in Destiny with and without modified curves. Curves definitely lend a different feel to look mechanics, and are worth a look. I collected curves from the XIM4 forums and published them here for quick reference.

I’m presently using a combination of RML’s and thepr0’s ballistic curves. I use RML’s for the Hip profile, and thepr0’s for ADS.

RML’s Curve (Hip)

>>> XIM4 [Mouse Ballistics] START PASTE >>>
X4MB:AAAAGgA0AC4AMAAwAC4AMgAwADEANQAxADEAMgAwAA0aJzRBTlxreoyescjIyMjIyMjI:X4MB
<<< XIM4 END PASTE <<<

Set Boost to 500

thepr0's Curve (ADS)

>>> XIM4 [Mouse Ballistics] START PASTE >>>
X4MB:AAAAGgA0AC4AMAAwAC4AMgAwADEANgAwADQAMAA1AA8cKDI8RlBaZG54goyWoKq0xMjI:X4MB
<<< XIM4 END PASTE <<<

Set Y/X Ratio to 1.23

Additional Notes

on DPI settings with the XIM4...
XIM4 User Manual (PDF) states: "Make sure your mouse is running at its maximum DPI"

on Primary & Secondary button bindings...
I've leveraged this setting to provide flexibility in controls - I can swap between digital and analog movement without switching to a separate profile, which comes in handy should my PlayStation Move Navigation Controller decide to give up the ghost midway through a game.

Secondary button bindings can also be used to make a XIM4-native macro. You can create a super macro by binding both Melee and Throw Grenade to a single keystroke like DrLupo does in his XIM4 settings.

DrLupo's Destiny XIM4 Settings
DrLupo has publicly shared his XIM4 config, updated for Destiny 2.5.0.2, on February 28, 2017 at imgur.com/a/DI8P7

DrLupo previously used RML's curves in his XIM4 config for Destiny. I collected those curves, and others, on this page for ease of reference.
