For people like myself, who when in a close quarters battle I always hit the R3 button. I've been playing for years, and I just put to much weight on the right joystick in certain situations. Now there is no ability to avoid mapping the R3 button, because the quip wheel now comes up. I've tried every other combo, and they all cause a loss in close quarter battle due to affecting me during batttle(ie: changing to single shot, slowing me down because I pinged something, arming grenade, pulling up quip wheel, or throwing a kick or punch when Im 20 feet away from guy/girl buzzing down for the kill, and I always get killed) super frustrating. It would be nice to be able to map the R3 to nothing, that would solve the problem, and shouldn't be a very hard fix. The game is already hard enough for me, and now it's almost unplayable due to the high skill level of other players, one mistake and your dead.Thanks, and hopefully you understand I am just looking for a fix

Yes, with R3 pulling up ping wheel the game is unplayable for me!!! Quip wheel comes up in almost every close quarter gun fight and I lose control over my ability to change directions. I have played one game today, and its my last game.

Totally same problem here. Please give us an option for that. It just destroys the game for me. Just my opinion: quip wheel is not suiting the style of the game.

I actually just posted on this as well. The patch's new quip wheel functionality has removed the only viable option to map this problem away.We desperately need the quip wheel chage rolled back or the ability to unmap R3 completely.Please please please Apex. The game is almost unplayable for us folk now. Ive invested close to 200.00 in the game, we need this addressed.The only work around now is to map to "adjust firing mode" and then only play with wepaons that do not have firing modes.

I play with a controller on pc that is pretty much a ps4 controller just with xbox buttons some knock off from walmart by logitech but anyways I don’t have those issues on pc so i dont see why they dont just change it to the way it is on pc for me R3 just punches and you hit R1/RB for pinging and hold the button for ping wheel and hit Y or whatever top button is on ps4 i think triangle to use the quip wheel and those other things you mentioned are all on the D Pad

@Vancity_seahawk3 Ps4 player here and I can't recall ever accidentally mashing R3 during a fight, that button is hard to press even if you're doing it intentionally so if you keep pressing it by accident to a point you keep dying then you might want to work on calming yourself during firefights a little better.Only problem I have with the controller is not being able to swap L1 and circle without affecting the ult button combo of L1+R1

Need ability to map the R3 button on ps4 to nothing! Please

Kind of workaround: activate autorun and switch L3/R3. Don't use variable scopes.
But please ea: change it!!!

@Vancity_seahawk3After thinking about it this is more of a user error instead of game error sounds like your either getting tense or stressed in fighting situations and smashing buttons just try to relax and play more passively instead of face to face add some distance but still fight is all im saying pathfinder is good for that if you learn how to do a certain grapple every time you try to do it without failing it just takes practice not sure of the name but you grapple the ground in front of you and after half a second you jump and you use the boost to launch you it works great for creating that distance or getting to cover but also in aggressive fighting scenarios aswell when someones beaming your teammate you can launch next to them

Hi Vancity,try switching buttons,I know it's not what you looking for,but for me,I've changed jump button to R1 and crouching to L1,so I can rush in jumping without taking my finger off the analog and t-bag shooting a lot easier while aiming precisely,while my main character ability is set to R3 now,I've got used to it in 2 hours playing.You don't need to do the same maping in buttons as mine,just find where to replace that's most comfortable for you.

The problem since the patch is that there is no mapping possible now that will allow us to not end up meleeing/ducking/quip wheeling when we get tense.
The only mapping that works is to map r3 to fire mode and then only play guns that have a single fire mode, which kind of sucks. Hoping they can address it.
