How to skate sword with Half Truths weapon in Destiny 2

If you've been a Destiny 2 fan for a while, you'll know there's no shortage of exploits and tricks experienced players use to gain an edge over others. One comes and goes, depending on the updates Bungie brings to the game's mechanics, is sword skating.

This mechanic uses the lunge ability that many swords have in the game to propel your character across the battlefield. The skill is limited in range, but there are some moves and rolls that, when combined, can make it more useful.

By combining the Bungie 30 Half-Truths sword in this Anniversary Celebration Event, which is a clear homage to Halo's Energy Sword, with the Eager Edge trait, players can once again whiz across the battlefield with reckless abandon. That's how:

The Eager Edge trait gives players a short window where the lunge distance is noticeably increased in the moments after switching to the weapon. This means that players only need to switch to their Half-Truths sword with the Eager Edge trait, then jump and do a light attack to leap forward. They will be launched a significant distance later. During the animation, quickly switch back to a different weapon. You'll keep all your momentum from the lunge as you glide across the arena. It can be difficult to cut down on this and it may be difficult to control yourself as you move, but it will make you move around the battlefield much faster.

I have no idea if this is an expected feature of the weapon or an exploit that will be fixed soon, so be sure to fix sword skating while you can.
