Re: How can i turn of auto punch in Apex Legends

Hey, let's take it down a few notches, we all want the same thing here.

@outheg8 While I have seen scattered reports of "auto punch" persisting in a situation like yours, we haven't seen enough evidence to prove it, and accidental R3 presses are the cause in the vast vast majority of cases.

I don't know your setup, but if it replicates consistently in the Firing Range, a clip of it happening, with controller inputs visible, would be something I could forward to QA.

I know it's a big ask, but anything less likely won't lead to further investigation, as "auto punch" has been discussed extensively.

I have also experienced this numerous times on Xbox. I use an elite controller V2 and have the right stick click as crouch, not punch. Punch is mapped to b. I don't accidentally hit b bit yet when I try and reload I punch. It is infuriating. Lost numerous fights and even wins because of this.

I've only seen it a couple of times a few seasons back, and that was a random melee cancelling out reloads.....nothing in months though.
I also had r3 as crouch, circle as melee.

I have been having the same issues! What did you guys do to resolve these issues?

@BLACCK68 There is no auto punch, it’s just people accidentally hitting the wrong button, but it may have been a bug at the time, you might want to change your button layout.

@BLACCK68 Switch punch and crouch. Also don't press shoot without your gun fully our.

@BLACCK68 Buy an heirloom so that even though you accidentally pressed the melee button you would look cool. /s
