If you are on PC, and have nothing constructive to help the conversation, please just move along.

I am 100% AGAINST bringing M&K support to console, and that topic has been brought up several times recently. It does NOT pertain to this conversation, so PLEASE don’t bring it up here. This conversation is for those that CONTOLLERS/ GAMEPADS.

As someone that plays on console, I can say that there are definitely more controls for the game than buttons on the controllers.
While there are options to “hold”, “double press”, etc. of buttons, this leads to a lot of issues of control hierarchies that then present issues.

SUGGESTION:
Allow for combinations of buttons.
For example:

  • LB + D-pad Direction
    This alone could allow for a lot more button combinations that COULD prevent some of the issues.

ADDITIONALLY,
Go through and make some pre-made options that can be selected by players rather than just “default”.
Ones that have been TESTED and proven to work effectively.

This will help both new players and old players alike, and hopefully solve a lot of frustrations along the way!

I am on PC and Mouse and Keyboard are not a thing so far. I still do this comment…

Jokes beside:
I can send your topic to the devs to ask? If you don’t mind?

It’s really not a well executed option, since often the actions of the individual buttons on the combo are still performed when attempting to use the combo action.

For example: if I have X set to jump, and have X+R1 set to throw grenade; if I press X+R1 I will jump and throw a grenade instead of just throwing a grenade.

Whenever I try mapping it, it only registers the first button that I press.
