If you can't beat the aimbotters, (aim assist users) than join them

Title is clickbait btw.

I actually plan to learn controller on pc for a different experience, any tips on how to learn as a complete beginner would be great as I've never played this game with a controller before.

@soccerking122 The best tip I can give you is that aim assist isn't that strong and expecting it to be like aimbot will disappoint you. No other tips other than to just play and eventually see the pros of using a controller and its limitations especially in looting and movement. I hope more PC players can do this to lessen those "controller = aimbot" threads especially during the time that Respawn was planning to remove tap strafing (which is impossible on a controller). Goodluck!

You play on inverted look??????? What kind of weirdo are you?!? 😮

Hey, I have a question about button puncher, since you use it. I used button puncher for a while. It didn't work out for me due to too much muscle memory. That aside, I didn't like it all that much having crouch on the right stick, although it was certainly a great improvement over the default layout. I wonder, if one uses auto-sprint (as many do), thus having L3 free, then how might it be using a custom button layout exactly like button puncher, but with crouch assigned to L3 instead of R3? This is just out of curiosity, I use a scuf controller.

Crouch on the left thumbstick for me wouldn't work for me. I do use auto-sprint, but I still click in my left thumbstick sometimes from grip. Honestly if you have a Scuf with paddles, I would assign crouch to one of the paddles, change crouch to "press" in the settings over toggle.

I honestly wish controller companies would get with the times and not put face buttons at all like XBYA etc. So many fingers not used under the controller.

Yep, been playing inverted from Halo 1 when I was 14 or so.

@soccerking122 they say that you don't need to aim, just press the trigger and aim assist will aim for you XD

Yes to both. I said I use a scuf, so I was only asking this question out of curiosity.

@soccerking122 I have a great TIP, for anyone using a standard controller.

Make *Left Stick Click-Crouch(hold)*
Make *Right Stick Click-Jump*
Enable Auto Sprint.
Melee is *B* button
If ur gonna use VALK - Jetpack Control on HOLD

This is what I use, having my thumbs constantly on the sticks it prime for good movement in game on controller.

But this is all subjective, depending on YOUR playstyle, you could be comfortable doing completely different button layouts, just like the advice I give people when it comes to the GUNS in game.

See which ones you feel most comfortable utilizing & then then practice with that specific gun as much as you can. Eveyone has different taste in what kind of GUN feels comfortable to them, & their specific playstyle.

@soccerking122 Make sure to adjust your ALC settings to the controller.

@pandareno1999 I play any first-person games on inverted y-axis. I can handle up being up, and down being down.. it throws me off. Some 3rd person games, I can play non-inverted, but I typically have to have it inverted. GTA has to be inverted, but sometimes I can play Assassin's Creed games without inversion. It's weird, and doesn't even make sense to me, but eh... I played a lot of flight simulators with my dad when I was a wee lad

The other day when i made this reply, I went into the range to try it out for the first time. I was getting motion sickness just trying to move around! Literally could not tell up from down after a few movements.

@pandareno1999 I feel ya! That's exactly how I feel, when I try to force myself to switch to non-inverted. It just doesn't work with my brain, and makes me a bit nauseous.
