You can turn on reticle at all times as well. Also you can change the input type for stratagem button to "PRESS" which is toggle, that way you can press it once while you use your arrow keys to input a stratagem. This way you can run freely without having to hold the button down

At release, text-to-speech was one of the best features in the game, because you could set it to chat only.

I have got one more tip for you if you are interested. You can use voice commands for stratagems!

There's another really cool feature that some Divers on PS5 might be unaware of and that's the cursor movement on the mini map. I had been using the D-pad when moving the cursor but unbeknownst to me you can do this by placing your thumb and lightly moving it around on the touchpad (BIG central block in the middle of the controller) give it a try, it was a game changer for me!

[@theknight1573]

I actually miss this option after switching to PC. Wonder if this works if I were to get a ps5 controller for my pc lol

[@POWER_WAFFLE]

The biggest thing that helped my comfort in this game on PS5 was to change the controller key layouts. I hold R1 to bring up the Strategem menu so I can still run with my left joystick while calling in a Strategem. I also made the L1 button for throwing a quick Grenade and got rid of the other button command that would make a longer grenade throw I think.

[@alexello1189]

….but you need to use the dpad to enter the stratagem combo. You got two left hands or something????

[@POWER_WAFFLE]

Hi @alexello1189, here's how I would call in a Strategem or Reinforcement without stopping my movement. Right index finger holds R1 to bring up Strategem menu, right thumb takes over left Joystick to control which direction I want to keep running in, which then let's my left thumb press the inputs on the directional pad, then I'll use right index finger to press R2 to throw Strategem ball. The only gripe I have is that sometimes the game stims me when I press Up on the directional pad instead of calling in a Strategem but I understand that's pretty common.

Vertical FOV at minimum of 45° will be 72° horizontal, at 59° it will give you 90° horizontal, 69° for 100° horizontal. at maximum 90° it will give you 120° of horizontal.

[@dragonwalkerdew]

Honestly, I can’t believe I didn’t realize I could just do that with my own mouse, which is a Razer Naga Trinity Chroma. (Trinity, in this case, meaning it has three side-plates for different amount of buttons on the side. Ranging from 2, 5, and 12) I’m rather used to the HD1 controls, so ai just swapped mine to those controls anyhow. I.E. Space for vaulting/Jump-Pack or diving on hold or tap respectively, ALT for the stratagem menu, and TAB for the map for the more notable ones. And I didn’t really see the appeal in changing my stratagem input keys to the arrow keys, as it would take my hand off the mouse. So your option for managing to fix both issues is rather nice. Now to just get used to it, after rebinding 4 (Grenade Item, not Quickthrow which is G) to something else anyhow perhaps so I don’t accidentally pull out my grenades…

[@dadpoolgames1748]

@@dragonwalkerdew I’m a weirdo with my stratagems I think it’s caps lock and tab for the map. I like using alt to dive as a lot of games I play have alt as like a roll it just felt natural. The input for directions took me a little time to get used to but now it’s so nice and fluid

[@dragonwalkerdew]

Yeah, fair enough. Luckily, since it's a trinity, if the 12 button one doesn't work, then there's still the other one which has 5, or... rather 7 since I found the other two sideplates again and looked at it. Whoops, it's apparently 2, 7, and 12... Ah well. And, fair enough on the bindings you have. I don't like using Caps Lock since my setup plays a sound when it's pressed, and occasionally I need to type since people I play with in random matches sometimes have VC turned off completely. As for Alt, most games I play have it as either a modifier, or a 'Walking' button, but HD1 had it for Stratagems, as there was no walking in there. But, did try out the rebound keys in a match recently, and it does seem better. Although slower since I'm not used to it yet. But that's fixed with time, plus I'm going easy on myself for it by getting used to it on difficulty 5, and the plan is working my way up to 7 again as I get used to it.

My gripe with changing stratagem directional keys to use the right hand (eg arrow keys) is having to move my hand off my mouse. Takes me longer to get my hand back, aim, and click throw than if I'd just stopped. If I'm desperate to move while I input, I usually just dive and input.

[@BluMacaw]

If you have a good keyboard and by that I mean something that has more keys than full keyboard, use your macros to bind them to pressing those annoying arrows. Ctrl+macro effectively instantly triggers a strategem which is especially useful for more difficult and longer strings you have to input like for a hellbomb or 380mm barrage.

[@joshuabigbee5874]

My Corsair KB has G1-6 keys on the side. Perfect for Reinforce, Resupply, and then 4 Strategems. I record CTRL as part of the macro, I just have to tap G1 and reinforce is ready.
