SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS... R3 PROBLEM.

I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PLAY IN MONTHS FIX THIS PLEASE

Remove R3 as a button jeeeeeeeeeeezes christ I can't play this game anymore because of a stupid reason and it's really pissing me off. I'm heavy handed and I can't avoid using R3 and normally this isnt a problem with any other game but this one. I normally map R3 to something that doesn't interrupt you when firing a weapon, but there is literally no other button to map it to that doesn't interrupt firing a damn weapon. 

If R3 is melee then I end up meleeing for no reason while trying to do normal things, like SHOOTING and climbing or even trying to turn fast. 

If I map R3 to one of the D-pad buttons then every time I fire my weapon I get a chat wheel popping up or some other kind of wheel that completely ruins everything. 

I can't map R3 to circle because I can't get used to it like that.

I have over 500 wins and 12k kills Aim-4Z-Brain is my PSN  and I haven't been able to play in months because of this, please make it so I can map R3 to something that doesn't screw me over while trying to shoot my weapon.

FYI: I USED TO HAVE R3 MAPPED TO THE EXTRA CHARACTER BUTTON BUT WHEN YOU CHANGED THE EXTRA CHARACTER BUTTON TO BRING UP A DAMN CHAT WHEEL THAT'S WHEN ALL MY PROBLEMS STARTED.

I literally can't play again until this is resolved and I would really like to be able to finish the season pass before I miss out on it.

  • I like the R3 as a punch button because i lke to chase people and punch early game lol but whenever i pick up a havoc it always punches idk why

  • So glad to hear more people raising this issue.

    The only work around is to map to fire mode and then not use any weapon that has the ability to change.

    It's amazing how unplayable the game is for us in this group until this can be fixed.

    @KingServitor 

    R3 crouch (hold) or R3 interact/pickup/reload

    They should fix it so we can unbind R3 no button.

    @FaIIenAngeI777 

    Strange sooο strange!! 😂

    I can't think of any reason why you keep punching. :P

    May the force be with you!

  • Respawn, please fix this.   I have lost count on how many times I’ve been killed because of this. It should not be that difficult to give us an option to not have to map every single button on the controller. 

  • I had to go to a video game repair store and have them disable my R3 button. People don’t understand that when they say to switch R3 to crouch, while it is much better than melee, still puts you at a major disadvantage to players that don’t hit R3 when shooting. I only had this ‘repair’ done two or three days ago and I can finally shoot again. I’d say it’s enough to make the game enjoyable again, but unfortunately sbmm takes that away.

  • @ryan_tk11 XD I tried to do that mod myself. It kinda worked but then my Right analog felt wierd and eventually it just broke.

    How did they do it on your controller? I'm thinking about super gluing the thing next lol.

    This is interesting. I have my R3 mapped to my tactical ability, but I've never once accidentally activated it.

    Hmm. I wonder why that is. Maybe I just don't have a natural inclination  topress down when I use the stick or something. All I can say is it's never been a problem for me, sorry it's a problem for you. That stinks.

  • @Dominious1one I use controller on pc so im able to make the switch, but ever since I switched to a xbox one controller the punching problem just never happens anymore so I think its either a fault in a PS4 controllers design or just because the controller I was using was a generic one and wasn’t good quality
