Aim assist does not kick in with sniper optics (6x, 6x8, ect) so if you're using sniper I recommend using 2x4 instead

[@vigil5774]

1. No controller clips whatsoever 2. Controller players don’t excel at long range, and u proved this by saying smg’s are better to use on controller (which you aren’t wrong) 3. can’t always rely on aim assist, and when close range you should never be ADS, you should know what range is ADS range and Hip fire range

[@moppy69]

So your the pro now are you,

[@richardisaacash6037]

TALKING About controller, when the content is played on mouse and keyboard. Nice

[@blake1234]

I would also suggest switching to Button Puncher unless you play claw or have paddles

[@gooley9849]

I use button puncher but I use what I call a switch grip (basically hold it traditional way for most stuff and use claw for movement tech.) And I'm pretty decent. Had to learn claw to beat the souls series lol. EDIT: Recently got paddles so ima be schmoovin boi!

[@polloelegante5927]

I play as if it was button puncher but instead of crouching qith the right joystick, I crouch with the left one

[@bunny-zq8gu]

what does playing claw mean?

[@stikkedup2697]

@@bunny-zq8gu it’s a way you hold a controller you play, like 4 fingers on the top of your controller it’s weird to explain

[@destroyuhh8001]

Quick tip they didn’t mention is that all assist doesn’t work with sniper scopes in general

[@cyp3rra204]

Wow. Thanks to the tip I just remembered to turn my dead zone down since I tend to drift on accident, thanks man

[@Stephthemenace_]

Lol you lose aim assist when you go above a 2x-4x

[@SpicyChickenSandwich420]

you can key bind the macros for tap strafing to your controller if you have the game on steam btw. i use my left and right analog but i hoping to get a scuff controller soon

[@trevorrrViews]

Best setting switch is have jump as left stick, slide/crouch right stuck. This makes you not have to move your thumbs and leads to wayyyy better movement

[@Bdoll1993]

If you're on ps4 or on pc with a ps4 controller, Sony makes a cheap paddle attachment for like $20. It's only 2 paddles but that's how I jump and crouch and its so much easier to bunny hop with that setup.

[@CZProductions]

Or just play claw like most

[@AA-bz1pr]

Literally just play claw

[@cagerunttrollingtheinterne644]

Nah, the best is L1/LB for jump, and R3 for crouch/slide. Works the same is more of a normal transition than whatever the hell your talking about. L1/LB for jump, R3 for slide/crouch and R1/RB for interact This changes your tactical ability to X/A and your ult to X+Square/A+X and your melee to B so unless your a pathfinder main I think these controls are the most optimal for controllers without paddles or people who don’t wanna learn claw.

[@Skipontop]

this man got me out of hardstuck gold thanks man now im plat and cracking kids easier now with a kd of 2.5 and a damage average of 869

[@hle7881]

Hey valued i have been thinking about starting to use aimtrainers thaks for telling me anout em

[@gooley9849]

All the movement tech I've learned that's possible on pad is easy af to me it's mainly practice a shit ton till you're near 100% consistant. Also please make a guide on how to jitter aim on pad pls. Not many good guides and everyone does it different.

[@hassanismail696]

Just what I needed!

[@st4r444]

The best tip for controller users on pc is to get a dualshock 4 and use gyro aim with flick stick on steam or rewasd if you're on origin Get the back button attachment and map the reload and crouch to the back so you never take your thumb off the stick Get ghost trigger stoppers and trigger extenders from extreme rate and get extra grip from playbudz to make the controller bulkier and more grip Map the weapon swap and heal buttons to the touch pad so you don't need to push the dpad l. Just use the index fingers to swipe across the touchpad. If gyro isn't good then just turn it off or only on when you aim

[@LegoDennis66]

Or you just learn double claw and then you dont have to spend money on all these fancy upgrades

[@st4r444]

@@LegoDennis66 it's not expensive I spend only about 40 bucks total on the accessory and the back button is waaay better than claw. Its only 10 bucks. Idk why you wouldn't want to use steam or rewasd to layout the ds4.

[@LegoDennis66]

@@st4r444 i play on ps5 and when the ps5 Update hits, i wont be able to use a Ds4. I just switched to controller from MnK and have tried to different controllers with paddles on the back from to different companies. I just couldnt get used to it, like because of the paddles i could not hold the controller or in my hands and it influenced my gameplay. So i switched to doubleclaw with bumper jumper tactical Button Layout and it did Take me a month to get used to it but im so much better and my movement is so much more fluent then with a paddle controller. But if you play on pc, i will agree, that gyro aim with q controller is so much more better then with stixks

This guys has helped me become a better controller player than I was before

[@Strongarm_11]

Im a controller player (PS5) and my favorite guns are the smgs cus there so powerful and have little recoil (volt is the best gun in the game) Also question What gun is your least favorite gun in the game (mine is the flatline cus you get shredded instantly and it’s so stupid and annoying)

[@FreeDiddy-69]

Volt is kinda doodoo feel like I’m shooting out marshmellows, wingman is better

[@bigqwerty7349]

flatline is easily the best gun in the game

[@gooley9849]

Volt is just a straight up laser. But I like my tried and true combos R301 with mastiff or R99 also Flatline with mastiff or PK. Easy wins.

[@ugottouchdowned]

U like smg‘s because u just run into peoples face with it and aimbot them with 0.6AA. Feelin it bro, AI got you covered

[@sourstrawberry6636]

This is the best button layout if you don’t have paddles (scuff). R1 - shoot L1 - ADS R2 - use ability L2 - crouch / on hold L3 - jump R3 - holster weapon This basically allows you to crouch while strafing in a fight/ slide jump/ change weapon or holster to engage faster/ use your ability, ALL while keeping your thumb on joystick to aim and track which is critical in a fast paced game like apex.

[@geoffmundy3212]

Fuck naw dude

[@geoffmundy3212]

Best layout is L1= aim R3 = crouch L3 = interact/reload R1= shoot R2 = tac ability L2 jump Triangle holster Circle punch X ping

[@geoffmundy3212]

I think i got the button names right

[@sourstrawberry6636]

@@geoffmundy3212 nope , with this layout you use the same button to crouch and aim which sucks, you also cant change weapon to get those last bullets whille aiming at their heads, u have to take your thumb off

[@space_manspiff197]

Didn't get to far yet but I have to make this statement. "Both inputs have their strengths and weaknesses" is a lie only in the sense that the only "strength" roller has is AA that is IT. M&K is and always will be the superior input.

[@trelllowkey]

So your telling controller players how to play, but you’re only showing pc clips, real helpful🤦🏾‍♂️

[@cagerunttrollingtheinterne644]

None of this is helpful advice for anyone that has been playing fps games and is familiar with a controller. If you want to be good, play around cover, soft peaks instead of full swings out of cover for damage, Don’t get punished for being out in the open, it only takes a couple seconds to knock someone. If you think back to most times that you died it all started when you were caught out of cover or it was just a bad spawn. Settings are essentially the only thing that is going to help your aim and movement. Do not stick to defaults and do custom settings for everything, watch a few settings videos, pick up claw or fully remap your controller, the less you have to take your finger of the right analog stick the better. Hope this helps.

[@armeliodasdeamonking7743]

In ps4 without 60fps is hard 😂

[@yoursenpai4010]

Not so easy on ps4, one day the ps5 will be available normally and at regular price. Sadly i saw the ps5 insides and it’s so compact there’s no proper airflow like the ps4 but guess it’s a stationary fan life for anti overheating. Good ol triple pun there.

[@gooley9849]

Yep more movement tech that gets discovered that isn't possible on pad is just that much more of a cap on our ability to compete. Even if most people are ass and don't bother to learn movement or other tech on controller cause " too hard need 200$ controller ". I use button puncher and play a switch grip. Standard grip and switch my hands to claw for movement tech really easy, once you get used to just using your right index on the face buttons instead of R1 or RB.

[@-DeZiRe-]

All these tips only apply to pc controller players. This game is unplayable on ps4 with 40 frames and constant lag. The hit detection is so shit compared to pc. Game is unplayable. Frame fluctuations have always been a thing. But the hit detection is seriously worse since half way this season.
