Xbox Screenshot Timing (Destiny)

It's easier on PS4. You can just switch weapons. If you time it right, you can grab the "screenshot" button on the controller while there's no weapon on the screen. It's easy once you get the hang of it. But the Xbox doesn't allow for that.

So, I was playing with this yesterday (because I never bothered to before…), and the Xbox takes a screenshot at the exact moment that you press the Xbox Guide button on your controller. So it's actually pretty doable.

Also, I found that if I was able to get into a non-combatant area long enough that my weapon lowered, and then looked up, the weapon would slide off-screen. So I managed to get a few more shots last night that way.
