Looting deathboxes with controller is unfair
Us controller users are at a major disadvantage since we cannot strafe around while searching dead players loot boxes. This has gotten me killed TONS of times mid-battle since its practically suicid...
Forum Discussion
As a controller player on PC I agree with @VenderAzura
I've made the decision to take the alternative peripheral, I have to accept all the benefits and drawbacks that come with it.
If we say that mouse/kb users shouldn't be able to move whilst looting death boxes, do we also say that controllers shouldn't get aim assist because mouse/kb players don't get it?? (even though it's minimal in this game)
Do we block the use of mouse buttons 3,4,5 because only some gaming mice and not all mice have these buttons??? the list could go on.
If you used a controller you wouldnt be saying there is some advantage going on with aim assist.
Its obvious you are trying to gain a sympathetic response with that statement.
I mean, really its painfully obvious.
Aim is superior with mouse and keyboard and there is no need for controllers to be at a disadvantage due to a simple design flaw unrelated to the peripheral in question.
I really dont get it. Lets nerf the controllers ability to loot... Thatll fix him for that auto aim that hardly exists!
Why is this being argued... Its like raising the gas price because a bird * on your windshield.
Have you ever been in a situation where your team says "go get the gold armor off his body! quick!" And i have to reply with "I cant! im using a controller and im not allowed to..." And then you watch as an enemy runs over and takes the armor while he wiggles around and runs off with it.
Yeah, i have. All too often.
You guys can sit here and troll to your hearts content but this is seriously a problem.
I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt that you are referring to @VenderAzura otherwise i'd be really embarrassed for you that you didn't read the first line of my response.
As a controller user on PC I just don't agree with you. Yes, there's minimal aim assist, but that's not really the point.
You're argument essentially boils down to 'I can't have it so you shouldn't have it' well that applies just as much to kb/mouse players with aim assist- so denying them it would be double standards.
Same with my explanation about mouse keys - do you ban mouse button's 3-9+ because not all mice have them? Do you ban quick ping shortcuts on keyboard that we have to use the scroll wheel for on controller? - if you don't, again double standards.
It's entirely possible that we just have different play styles, perhaps i'm more conservative so don't rush in on deathboxes, maybe I loot quicker - so this issue just doesn't happen to me, but not once have I thought that being able to wiggle a bit would have saved me being shot in a hail or AR fire or a grande being thrown next to the deathbox i'm looting.
Either way, i'm not trolling, I just don't agree.
which keys do you use on keyboard to move while looting?
WASD doesnt work for me...
Do I have to set alternative keys?I guess i should be more blunt.
I dont believe your telling the truth you use a controller as your main peripheral on this game.
Your acting here like i have some sort of super power and not being able to loot and move is balancing it.
If aiming with a controller was easier then everyone would be doing it. There is only two reasons why people use controllers on this game.
1. You have a physical disability
2. Its comfortable

Well, fair enough for being blunt... you're wrong (i fall into the 2nd of your categories), if you look across my posts where people has posted control based issues i've always been consistent in stating that i was using a controller. Then again, you're probably so deep into your conspiracy theory that you now feel that I've staged 2 weeks worth of forum posts stating I play on controller - just so I can come and troll you on this post, 2 weeks later...
Now we've got that out the way do you have some comment to add to my discussion point? or are you one of those forum posters that just says they want something because 'I want it so it's right'
Just to recap -
1. If kb/ mouse loose a benefit of their peripheral, should controllers lose a benefit of their peripheral?
2. If you're changing this difference to make it fair should you also adjust the ping system that works differently between the peripherals to similarly make it fair?
3. Should we ban mouse buttons 3-9+ given that not all mouse's (mice?) have those buttons
