You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed watching !

Is there any benefit getting this one or the other strike back with just the two paddles? I really don't care for 4 buttons on the back but of it's actually better I'll get this one

The function is the same, only difference is the eliminator has 4 back buttons and the dominator has 2.

[@dustycowick8475]

Just purchased the eliminator ur videos definitely helped but now I'm trying to adjust recoil on a gamepack and just can't grasp wat the manual is saying would love more in depth videos on things after modpass subscription and in game use of gamepacks

[@FrankSparapani]

Glad you enjoyed watching. I show in this video how to adjust the built in recoil. If you are using the mod pass mods then you will need a computer to adjust the gamepacks. Make sure to watch my mod pass video.

[@Jose-yr1mh]

Will i be able to use my usb headset/mixamp while having this connected?

[@FrankSparapani]

Yeah you can. You'll need to connect the strikepack first and then you connect your headset.

[@arvsingh6240]

I bought this 2 months ago, the 3 connectors to the speaker broke already, so it's only supported by the PS button United I press it, any ideas for a make shift fix?

[@FrankSparapani]

How did that break ? Were you taking your strikepack off your controller often ? You can use elastics(rubber bands) to secure the strikepack in place.

[@miguellinhares5932]

Congratulations from Brazil! Unfortunately, I didn't find good videos like this one about Strike Pack here. Could you tell me if without modpass I can configure a certain primary and secondary weapon to use only the anti recoil and adjust it manually? Does this adjustment have to be done every time I restart the console? Those are the only functions that interest me. Thanks for the video!

[@FrankSparapani]

Welcome ! I am glad you enjoyed the video. The anti recoil mod comes standard and free to use with the strikepack. You do not need the modpass. The free anti recoil is adjustable but that same setting will be applied to both your primary and secondary weapon. The anti recoil setting will save on the strikepack so even after you restart your console the anti recoil setting will remain.

[@billwendry]

It’s refreshing to watch a review/instructional video without the presenter giving me the old "yo-yo-yo... it’s your boyee x-shot", etc. Your presentation is well planned, informative, and well executed. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your help last week. Pack now working.One last question, I know how to reset mods, however, if I wish to remap or reset my map buttons, how is that accomplished?

[@FrankSparapani]

You can either factory reset your strikepack or you can simply remap the paddles again by following the same steps.

[@zabadak88]

Very helpfull video!!! I got it to now. Have do u reset eliminator? Or just change the bottons?

[@FrankSparapani]

Glad you enjoyed the video. I show in the video for the remap the buttons. If you want to reset the strikepack, hold action button #2 & #4 at the same time while you are connecting the strikepack USB cable into the console. The steps are written in the user manual.

[@thomasfranklin8227]

So using mod central is the same as on the dominator except for having 2 more button marcos when setting in the specific game profile?

[@FrankSparapani]

Yes exactly. There’s a section in the video where I explain how to activate the mod central gamepacks.

[@alexa.3941]

I would note that after a while the little latch thing that secures the eliminator to the controller is prone to cracking and snapping. It happened to me after about a month or so. Several others have complained about this issue in the amazon reviews. It is very unfortunate that it breaks as it becomes hard to use being loose. I have tried using double sided tape to try to secure it to the controller, but i have been rather unsuccessful with this method. They do sell replacements on their website for $5 but i would assume the replacement would have the same issue

[@FrankSparapani]

Never had that happen to my strikepack. Been using it for a while now. I also never remove my strikepack off of my controller. I guess if you constantly remove it and do it incorrectly that it may break over time.

Hey man, great video. I just wanted to know if you have any solutions for the disconnecting issue I have the dominator and absolutely love it but I have to unplug this thing after every round whilst playing siege, it’s super annoying and it’s cost me a few important games because sometimes the controller takes too long to switch back on Are there work arounds for this & does the Eliminator resolve this issue?

[@FrankSparapani]

Hey, glad you enjoyed watching the video. You can try using another usb cable or switching controllers to see if that solves the issue.

[@TheyCallMeNoName34]

Great video, also do you know if your a current strike-pack/Mod pass subscriber can you still use your Mod Pass setup for setting up this new strike-pack or do you have to buy another subscription? I just recently updated my subscription about 2 months back and I was hoping I didn't have to have another subscription just to be able to use the new strike-pack as well. Thanks in advance, dropped a "LIKE".

[@FrankSparapani]

Thanks for the like and I’m glad you enjoyed the video ! I explain what you are asking in the video. The mod pass subscription gets linked to the serial number of your strikepack so you’ll have to buy the mod pass again for the eliminator unfortunately.

Hey Frank, great video mate, eliminator looks very nice

[@FrankSparapani]

[@PabloTopRide]

Hello Frank, your video is excellent, I use the strike pack eliminator with Destiny 2 and it is very difficult for me to configure the anti recoil, in general everyone on other channels explains the antirecoil configuration with the warzone but when I want to apply it, Destiny each Once I press the left button, the screen goes the other way, do you know how I can configure the antirecoil in Destiny 2?

[@FrankSparapani]

Activating the anti recoil mod is the same for every game. You can always try updating your strikepack to the latest firmware update and reapply the mod.

[@redbastard9711]

Why don't you just get good at the game and learn the recoil patterns? Loser lol

[@ET-hs7bc]

Would you say the Eliminator is better when compared to the Dominator (in game performance wise) or is it more of a personal preference type thing?

[@FrankSparapani]

The eliminator has the edge because of the two extra back buttons but both perform pretty much the same. If you are looking for four back buttons then get the eliminator, if you are ok with just two back buttons then get the dominator.

[@Lil_Skully]

Sometimes I really wish the strike pack was wireless but I can’t complain that Device is amazing in so many ways.

@@FrankSparapani what is Exactly the Mod pass what does it do

[@FrankSparapani]

@@lucasmavinil-correa7236 mod pass is a subscription which gives you dedicated game exclusive mods.

[@Amrit_SZN]

Do the mods work on pc as well?Also if yeah it does what is the mod pass subscription thing about, do the mods of rapid fire dropshot etc dont work without it and only u can remap buttons without buying it?And lastly like a game like fortnite or warzone does rapid fire and ainti recoil work for all my guns in my loadout eg if I switch between an ar and smg?

[@FrankSparapani]

The strikepack is a console device, can not be used for pc gaming according to the company but there are ways to get it working for pc. The mod pass subscription gives you dedicated game exclusive mods. It is not necessary because the strikepack already comes with free built in mods to use. Rapid fire and anti recoil are part of the free mods. Once the mods are turned on, they will be on regardless of the weapon that you are using. Keep in mind to properly use the mods as well as fine tune them to work correctly. Example, rapid fire mod is used to turn semi auto or single fire weapons into full auto, putting rapid fire mod on for an already full auto weapon won’t do anything and can result in the weapon misfiring.

[@dannywade6416]

Do you have to use wireless headphones for this ? Or can you still plug in to the control pad?

[@FrankSparapani]

Show and explain that in the video. You can either use your headset wirelessly or plug it directly into the controller.

Can you use strike pack eliminator to program multiple actions to one action 🤔? an example is R2 to R1 to L2 ,in Elder Scrolls online this example is the basis for something called Animation Canceling or Light weaving🤓 . Can do this "action programming" on those expensive and fragile E-sport controllers but it's a complete waist of money if this kit can do the same.

[@FrankSparapani]

Yes, you are able to do that but you can only do that with the back buttons. You are also only able to input two actions to one back button. So example in your case, you will assign R1 and L2 to a back button. When you press that back button it will act as if you are pressing R1 and L2.

Hey frank great video, but with looking at the reviews do you actually Need a computer/pc to use the the buttons for fortnite

[@FrankSparapani]

Hey, glad you enjoyed the video. The strikepack comes plug n play right out of the box but the mods are more for FPS games. If you plan on using mods for fortnite I would recommend using the Mod Pass mods which is a yearly subscription that gives you access to game exclusive mods. You will need a computer to set those mods up. Feel free to check out the Mod Pass website and see if you can benefit from those mods.

[@takerkanefan108]

I know you said there's no gap around the outside of the trim going down the hand grip area, but do you know if there's any gap up under the hand grip area? Basically what I'm trying to ask is- I currently use a Cinch Gaming controller that has two buttons on the back. And from the looks of it, the Eliminator appears to sit completely flush all the way down the hand grip leaving no room for existing buttons? Meaning it would be best to use this with a stock controller right?

[@FrankSparapani]

The eliminator sits completely flush onto the controller. So you will need to use a stock PS4 controller.

I want my fingers to naturally sit on the L2, R2 triggers and back buttons so from your reviews, it seems the strike pack is better for that.

I have always used L1 and R1 to aim and shoot, so my fingers will naturally go in that position, I also dont have large hands. I think you will feel very comfortable with the strikepack set up. When you get it let me know how it is. Hope to see you in my live stream and always happy to help.

[@abk14459]

@@FrankSparapani I just got my strike pack eliminator and I'll be returning it. To get my middle fingers on the top buttons and ring fingers on the bottom, my pinky fingers would not be gripping anything and it's a very unnatural position to hold the controller. I can imagine my hand or fingers going numb from long games. I'm 6 feet tall so I'm going to go with the extremerate shell that's coming in tomorrow and use the big boy controller.

[@FrankSparapani]

@@abk14459 everyones grip is different on the controller and everyone has different hand sizes so a controller will feel different to everyone. At least now you know which set up to go with. Let me know when you get the xtremerate set up.

[@dozenthflea0130]

Its not letting me choose any of the mods or remap any of the buttons can you help? And it also want connect to the ps4 no matter what i do it wont connect

[@FrankSparapani]

Make sure the USB cable is fully pressed into the strikepack and then reconnect to your console.

[@emkayshoe3275]

I don’t understand why I can’t get it to sync with my console. I follow these exact steps but my console never asks me to select my profile again once the cable is plugged in (or ever, for that matter), so it never syncs. Everything is plugged in correctly because the strikepack white light turns on…

[@FrankSparapani]

Can you use the paddles ?

[@LordSaucyPickles]

So do i have to change my button mapping and mods everytime i switch games? Or can i preser everything to different games

[@FrankSparapani]

If you are using the free built in mods then you will need to change and adjust them each time you switch to a different game

[@Liamleviathan]

How would I change profile? So on modpass my first profile is for warzone, if i made a cold war setup on 2nd profile, how would I make that the active one?

[@FrankSparapani]

Its pretty easy to do. Follow the steps in my troubleshooting video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaWwfaNmaLyJnLc

[@damiansaucedo6709]

Hi how are you? Did you have any problem with that it turned off by itself? Since the previous version of nothing every so often disconnected

[@FrankSparapani]

I’ve never experienced the strikepack ever disconnecting. The original strikepack is still going strong. Most likely when I strikepack disconnects, the strikepack was connected too quickly and the controller didn’t have enough time to sync to the console. It can also disconnect if the USB cable is faulty. But all in all the strikepack is a solid product and I’ve experienced no issues yet with the Eliminator.

[@rilyeterry3506]

Is it true that u can map two buttons to one of the buttons on the pack?

[@FrankSparapani]

Yes that is true.

[@eltonwilliams2]

what does my screennhave to be in i dont get it. i log in then i press left and all that so my ps4 just starts going nutts

It shouldn’t be going nuts. You can contact the company to see exactly what this issue could be.

[@FrankSparapani]

The strikepack needs to be plugged into the PS4.

[@JallyBeez]

Nice i was hoping your going to review this one, but if you had to choose between the Extremerate Decade Kit and this Strike Pack Eliminator which one would you prefer?

[@FrankSparapani]

I would say go with the strikepack. It’s a simple plug in play device and hassle free.

[@andrewgrant624]

Can this be used on pc? I use my ps4 controller for warzone on pc and the 2 paddle attachment won't connect.

[@FrankSparapani]

The strikepack is a console only device. Can not be used for pc gaming. There is a way to get it working but it doesn’t always work.

[@HypxrR6]

What’s the differences between the eliminator to the normal strike pack like what’s the difference between the recoil and rapid fire mods?

[@FrankSparapani]

There are no differences between the mods and how they work. Both have the same mod capabilities.

Hey just a quick question, is collective minds currently developing this 4-button strikepack for the PS5 controller or the 2 paddle strikepack?

They haven’t given me that info but I am thinking they will release a 4 paddled strikepack for ps5.

I would suggest contacting the Collective Minds support team to see exactly what’s going on. I can be a variety of things. You can try also updating the strikepacks firmware.

[@xUM94x]

Does it still work? I already have it but I bought it for when I was playing on PC and it wasn’t compatible. So I never used it. I don’t want to use it, I’m just going to sell it as I don’t play anymore

Yes it’s still working on ps4.

[@beamsznn9899]

Say I were to buy this for my ps4 controller. Would I be able to set certain recoil for certain guns. And would it allow me to use this on a different game like apex legends?

[@FrankSparapani]

You can use the strikepack in all FPS games and many others. The anti recoil can be adjusted depending on the weapon that you are using.

[@justinbluschke2582]

Does the Strike pack remember my settings? Like I set up 5 classes in mod 3 (anti recoil) for 5 different weapons. When I am changing weapons, can i change the class in the 3. mod? Does it work with Cold war? Do I have to purchase more than the strike pack? I am thinking about buying it ^^

[@justinbluschke2582]

And how many mods can be activated at the same time? Nice Video💙

[@FrankSparapani]

The strikepack does keep the settings saved. Yes it works on Cold War. You can technically have all the mod classes turned on at once. The strikepack can only record one anti recoil settings at a time, you will need to adjust anti recoil each time you pick up a new weapon.

Okay so my strike pack isn’t working. I held down the left d pad and my PS4 remote light is blinking yellow and blue

[@rdp1875]

I’ve got a ps5, been using my PS4 controller and strike pack for PS4 games and it started to disconnect and reconnect randomly, when it’s disconnected the lights stay on including the mods then it reconnects in 5-10 seconds. Controller and strike pack a bit old so going to order replacements and want to get eliminator. Do you think the disconnection issue is the age of the strike pack/ controller, or the fact it’s plugged into a ps5… will appreciate any advice 🤣

[@FrankSparapani]

It’s most likely a compatibility issue with the ps5. You can connect back to your PS4 and run some tests to see if those issues happen. If they don’t, then you know your strikepack is still working well.

[@gunner-_-2791]

And how do u delete the button on the bottom because I put something there that I did not want to put there

[@FrankSparapani]

You can either factory reset the strikepack or simply remap the button again.

[@caponcrunch4217]

If you are like me and use L1 and R1 to shoot. Hold right on the D-pad for 5 secs until the light turns white. Then press L1 while holding right on D-pad and your lightbar should go green and you are good to go.

[@FrankSparapani]

Yup those are the correct steps.

[@coltukkor]

When I see the layout of the buttons my first question becomes..do you find yourself hitting the buttons on the back by mistake a lot ?

It takes a bit of time to get used to but your finger muscles will get used to the motion after a few gaming sessions.

[@Grooving_Guns]

Is there any way to make it work wirelessly? I don't want to use any mods, just the 4 back buttons.

[@FrankSparapani]

Unfortunately not, the strikepack is a wired device.

Do you have to plug it in with the cable that comes with it or can I use any micro usb cable?

Best to use the cable that comes with the product.

Hi Frank.. can u map multiple buttons to one back button like the dominator ?? Thanks bro great content

Yes you can. Works exactly like the dominator.

[@BennyboyA2b]

I bought 2 strike packs eliminator and they ruined 2 of my ps4 controllers. After using them 4 a while I noticed that my right stick started to move upwards by itself and with the 2nd strike pack on a new controller the same problem after a while but on the other stick.And now I can't even use them without the strike pack they still won't stop moving on their own so I seriously regret buying it even.At the start I had much fun but until the pros started.And I loved using it. I would want to know if the cronus zen could also be a possible risk for my Xbox elite 2 controller (I switched to xbox series x not because of the s.p.e)

[@FrankSparapani]

That's very strange, I've never had issue and first time I hear about it. Very interesting to see. For the cronus zen, I've never heard of anyone having any issues with it or causing problems.

[@CynicalKel]

So would you recommend this for paddle use only for games like warzone or apex?

[@FrankSparapani]

Yes absolutely. The paddles are a huge help.

[@RusticRito]

I wanted to know what the difference between the PS4 strikepack dominator vs strikepack eliminator. Is it "better" or does it just have 2 extra remappable buttons? I don't want anything special like the mods etc., just something to make it so that I can jump and aim at the same time. Extra info on my situation: I started getting into OW2 and as you may know, some characters require frequent usage of the jump button and I just wanted to keep my thumb on the joystick to aim, without having to take it off to jump. I'm not a hardcore COD/warzone person, need good aim player, so idk if it'll be recommended if I get the dominator (as I'm casual and just want an extra button) or the eliminator (because maybe it's just better and I should go for the better one).

[@FrankSparapani]

Hello, both strikepacks function the same and have the same features. The differences are that the Dominator has 2 back paddles and the Eliminator has 4 back buttons. Both feel great to use so there isn’t a right or wrong choice but if you aren’t going to utilize all 4 back buttons then maybe go with the Dominator. You will notice that have back paddles is a huge help and makes the difference in cod and fps games.

[@RusticRito]

@@FrankSparapani ok cool tysm for the reply🙏 I'll do some more looking to see if maybe I should try and utilize all 4 or just go for the paddles and make my final decision

@@RusticRito you are very welcome. For sure not an easy decision, maybe buy both and return the one you don’t want.

Hey Frank! Another awesome video. Quick question that maybe you can help answer. Still awaiting a response from Collective Minds directly and just came across your latest. I have a version 1 of the dominator. My previous PS4 controller started developing a drift so I finally got a new one. Unfortunately, I’m unable to get the Strike Pack to connect to controller. When it does, I’ll be a couple minutes into a match and then my controller just stops working and leaves my character in a run. Not sure if you’ve had this issue with any of the strike packs or controllers. Just curious and reaching out since I know you’ve been using them so long! Thanks, man!

[@FrankSparapani]

Hey Derek ! I hope all is going well. Usually when a controller and strikepack disconnect randomly, this means that the strikepack wasn’t synced correctly or done too quickly. I’m pretty sure you know how to connect the strikepack by now so I’ll rule that out lol. Now I’ve seen this issue before and could never understand why exactly, could be a compatibility issue with the new PS4 controller components. Could also maybe be due to the usb cable going bad, try changing it. Have you connected back into your other controller to see if the issue happens ?

[@coachdnicholson]

@@FrankSparapani Yes, I've tried a new cable, doesn't work. I've performed a factory reset and then re-updated the firmware via the desktop app, nothing. I've shut the PS4 down completely and started it back up before plugging in the Strike Pack, still nothing. I go back to the old controller and it works like a champ. That's some of the stuff I have been reading that, for some odd reason, it doesn't seem to want to work well with the newer version of controllers. And that's what this one is, the version where you can see the light bar through the touch pad. I really hope that's not the case as I was getting back into gaming again and was loving the SP. I would like to get the Eliminator but that's just another additional expense at an inconvenient time right now. It seems as though you have no issues with this model of controller and the Elim? Thank you again for your responses! You rock!

[@FrankSparapani]

@@coachdnicholson for sure a compatibility with the newer controller. Hmm there is a V2 version of the strikepack dominator which is compatible with the newer controllers. It is for sure a bizarre issue. Have Collective Minds got back to you ?

[@coachdnicholson]

@@FrankSparapani they did. They had me send pictures of the controller I’m trying to use and said that it’s probably a bad USB port on the controller since it works fine with my other controllers. No idea. Guess we will see what else they say. Hope to get it all figured out.

Which one do you think is better stike pack dominator or strike pack eliminater

Both are great options and they both work the same. If you only need two paddles then get the dominator, if you see yourself needing more then for sure get the eliminator.

Hey bro, can I use the eliminator on a after market controller for the ps4 and still be able to use my headset

[@FrankSparapani]

It depends. The controller needed to be built with the V2 PS4 controller internals.

[@christophoris7259]

Does this have connection issues like the dominator? I don't use the mods i just hated how it would disconnect and have to turn my mic off " ps4 platinum", turn it on and disconnect and reconnect the controller which takes about 6 seconds for it to connect and it would legit get me killed.

[@FrankSparapani]

The USB port and cable are definitely way better and durable. As long as you keep the USB cable always plugged into your strikepack you will have no issues.

[@midlakjs]

Would you recommend this item or the tournament kit that changes the whole shell of the remote?

I would recommend the strikepack because I like the size and shape of the stock controller. If you are looking for a wider controller then go with the decade tournament controller.
