Gun Fires When I Sprint

Every time I press the left joystick to sprint my gun starts firing. I checked all of my controller settings, and the settings are correct. I cannot find a way to fix this issue. After a while I couldn’t not sprint at all. 

  • It was 100% the controller. I used a different controller and I haven’t had a problem since. I was using the dual sense controller that came with my PS5. I appreciate your feedback with this issue!

  • It definitely was a weird situation. Especially since I just got the system and controller 3 weeks ago. But I contacted them and they issued me a full refund to get a new controller 🙌🏼

    @jdgibson95, ah alright! Glad to hear that you got it working by switching to another controller.
    It's still an odd situation though! Maybe you could check with the shop where you got the defective controller from? Who knows and maybe you can get a replacement? 🙂

    @jdgibson95, alright. QQ: on which platform are you playing the game and are you using an off-brant or official controller that is coming from the same manufacturer as the console or PC (Microsoft)?
  • I restored my controller settings to the default settings several times. The issue still occurs. This is a brand new controller and console, I got them both three weeks ago. I used the same controller to play Warzone and there were no issues.

    Hey @jdgibson95,

    This allows me to believe that there is still some kind of setting incorrect that has overwritten the fire and walking buttons, or the controller could be defective.

    Can you please try the following:
    - Reset all controller setting to the default state
    - If you have another controller to try, can you reproduce the issue?
