Spoiler (Highlight to read) I was watching random videos on YouTube and heard someone mention how good the "claw" setting (or whatever it is) is to use because you could use your action buttons without taking your thumb off the right analogue stick, so I decided I want to try and practice it before S3 comes but the only guides I found are Fortnite ones that are almost a year old. If anyone knows one related to Apex It'd be a big help if you could send me a link or something, thanks.

I have no idea what that spoiler thing is or how to remove it so just pretend you can't see it ok?

Controller setting? I thought Claw was having your right middle finger on the trigger and having your index finger push all of the buttons. I played Claw during the Xbox 360 into the xbox one era. Im going to warn you, New xbox controllers DO NOT like claw players. Ive broke 3 controllers just due to the angle of me pressing the RB. I took each one apart and its all the same peice breaking, its a small plastic hinge.

@Pretzelnutcake I assume you play with a controller as thats the only way I use claw.As said before, playing claw makes you have access to all your buttons without moving your fingers so much, meaning a faster reaction time and easier to juggle around guns when needing to switch out loot or if you need to slide jump around so enemies can't land a hit on you.Not sure if you need a guide, just use default setting and put one finger over the buttons and let it lay there. You should be able to hit them all by slightly moving your finger while still keeping your thumb on the sticks.

There really is no guide for claw on apex legends. Sorry for the late response. What i did to achieve claw on apex is I sat on firing range for about 4-5 hours. Since there was no firing range when you posted this, i thought this would b helpful now. Theres 2 versions of claw, Flipped and regular. I recently learned claw on xbox and can only play flipped because regular is too hard for me. For flipped I switched the RB and LB to my triggers and aim and my RT and LT are my tactical and pinging abilities. Then rest your index finger to where you can press x, b, y, a, while keeping your thumb on RS. Put your middle finger on RB and just start messing around. Don't go off of other peoples guides on where to put ur hands for x. b, a, y because your fingers will not bend at first. get comfortable with your index finger and in 3-4 hours of practicing in firing range. I am now about a week in playing claw and I love it. Yesterday i finally trusted myself to play claw in ranked and it went well. I give it a week until your completely comfortable with it. The hardest part is working on my aim, it took me a while to get used to it, but youll never wanna go back once you play claw.

Can someone recommend a claw guide please?

@MandatoryIDtag Thanks I'll take a peek

@iBlockHead @PlugYourMudd yeah I was under the impression the weird way to hold the controller was because of a different button layout, I'm on PS4 and haven't changed anything in my default configuration in any game because of muscle memory. I tried swapping my tactical and crouch buttons one time and it was a disaster, was spamming random buttons like I've never used a controller before lol

I tried claw a while back, but its hard to train yourself out of a lifetime of muscle memory. XD

@MandatoryIDtag Yeah I figured as much, the guy in the video said it'll take a week or so to get used so I'm just going to mess around in the training range when I can for now

@SourinAirxd Thanks for your help, I've tried it for a while but gave up assuming I'm incapable of learning it since I've been accustomed to the regular way since PS1 I believe. I'll try it again though if you to it's worth the effort

It is totally worth the time!!!!!! I never thought i would learn, but i did it in only hours. It jus takes a bit of time to get used to it. thats the problem with claw because people do not want to take the time to learn it.
