Unlock Your Potential: Master Black Desert Online with a Controller

[@ArchdruidessGaming]

To use your controller in your map menu to set an autopath, you will hover over the spot you want and hit X (Square on PS controller). Then, out of the map menu, and to autopath/run you just click in the Left Stick. You use the Left Stick to move around the map, and LT and the Right Stick to zoom in and out of the map. To Guild ping you hit the Left Stick in, and to Party Ping you will press in the Right Stick. Also, you can bookmark a spot by pressing and holding X (Square on PS) on your controller. Let me know if you have any issues.

Thank you!

Is the Button display unchangeable from Xbox? I'd prefer to see the PS layout instead

[@colinframe1488]

How do I zoom in or out of my character? Like the scroll wheel equivalent

[@ArchdruidessGaming]

@@YC-tx3di not sure, I didn't try or look into it.

[@ArchdruidessGaming]

@colinframe1488 right stick in for a few seconds then the Adjust Camera will show up, and once done B on the controller

Here is an advanced tip for the Ring Menu. If you have a controller that has extra buttons, like an Xbox Elite, or Astro C40 like Slushie said in the video, (i have a Razer Wolverine that has 6 additional buttons): You can map the extra paddles as DPad buttons (up, down, left, right)in your local controller software (this is either through the mapping system built into the controller itself, or the PC app specific for your controller). Then in the Ring Menu, assign 1 skill to each specific menu. This will bypass the need to open the menu and input a direction to use a skill. The skill will be used as soon as you press the button because it is the only skill assigned. You can effectively have 8 skills mapped this way Skill 1 - Up Skill 2 - LT+Up Skill 3 - Down Skill 4 - LT+Down etc etc for left and right. Does not have to be a skill thats mapped, you can map anything in this manner, like an HP Potion. Hope this helps. Great Video!

You sexy mofo. Was just thinking this. Scuff elite pro here and ima do just that hahahaha!!!!

[@joynnersimanca]

Thanks for the guide, I'm gonna give it a try, If I can do this with the controller I'll give this game a second chance. I hated combat with ms/kb, probably because I've been a console player all my life. Your video literally gave me a chance, before your video I tried, and since the game doesn't show you how to fight with the controller I was about to quit.

[@Dvinyard69]

Thank you so much for this video, it was extremely helpful.

[@kittyshyla]

log outta discord first next time homie , got me checkin my discord goin WTF

[@cybrhckr]

actually it is pretty straight forward for how to cast the skills once you enabled the Gamepad UI (otherwise it is different) - For DS4 controller Triangle - C Square - E X - Space O - F L1 - Q LT - SHIFT R1 - LMB RT - RMB Skills are pretty much the same on keyboard for the classes I tried with those buttons.

[@whiskeytangofoxtrot3861]

This is great stuff. Thanks for posting this.

[@christianheyres2528]

anyone knows how to change the controller promts from ABXY to XO Square Triangle?

[@muteinc4617]

did you ever find out ?

[@ryandavid7659]

Just got shoulder surgery so this was amazing thank you

[@SalvadoGames]

Obrigado, muito bom e ajudou muito! Falta guias e tutorias sobre o uso de joystick para o BDO.

[@carlric]

Great video, subscribed!

[@evil_inside1332]

Thanks bro, I'm switching BDO and DotA to controller this week, because I find the seating position to be a bit too aggressive on my back, it will probably take a few weeks to become good again, but I'm sure it will be worth it in the long run

[@SirWasted]

dota on roller? i tried that with LoL, how did u get it to work? or did u do as i did and just clicked around with a mouse pointer? i want it to work like in Diablo4 where u steere the character with 1 analog

[@Lenumaza]

Hey I have a question, I see you using your skills on the ring menu without having to bring up the actual menu to select them. For example on your left dpad menu you have 4 skills and you were able to cycle through them without the ring menu pop up. How did you do it? Thanks and great video.

[@Couch_TTV]

controller 100xbetter then mouse,key. you can animation cancel so ez. move feels so better.

[@worldboss-_-gaming5138]

Welcome back man

[@purpaleslushii]

Thanks bro appreciate it 😋

[@JamesThaArtist]

How do you remove the controller guide that would show at the bottom right?

[@robertc.5558]

Edit UI, or setting and remove the tip from display settings.

[@chottomatekudasai-kun3887]

I need to force myself to stay 1h straight grinding because how uncomfortable it is. Might get a controller and give it a try.

[@jhonnyhernandez569]

how do you use the skills with the ring without having to open it?

[@katnipcaptin2965]

does any one have issue with crashing during war and g league while using controller?

[@Drowniik]

Any way to get rid of the buttons listed on de bottom-right side of the screen? Those that tells you the jumb button, menu button, etc...????

[@hommedacier5703]

I want to know too it's super annoying

[@leejordan6077]

thankyou bro

[@TheRealMulli]

Bit late on the bandwagon, just got the Asus ROG Ally and am loving it so decided to give bdo a try on it. Seems I’m confusing myself with the setup and layout and also was hoping that skills on controller would be more so a combo of buttons such as A+RT something to that degree cuz if I recall correctly on PC you’d do for example s+f to do a certain skill and I thought that was dope and was hoping the same would be said for controller cuz I always felt fighting games were meant for controllers than just clicking your left mouse button to attack 😅 if I’m wrong and someone could help me figure this out and get a nice setup going I’d love ya to death

[@jackandres4124]

Hello, i start play bdo with the controller i play Sorceress and i cant foward with (LT + foward direction) ? 😢 I must somethings to do in settings ?

[@JackJGX]

Can you add any skills to your quick slot ring or is it just skills that would usually go on your 1-0 bar on keyboard?

[@philipowens1268]

In the video when you go to the “ring menu”, you choose it from the “preciously used” options (or something like that), where is it found initially? Thanks

[@WeWickd]

Thanks man

[@aldoard]

-PROBLEM SOLVED- Im a none steam user (i use bdo launcher) and i tried turning it on in the settings of the game as well as putting on the UI. It just doesnt work with 360 controller nor playstation 5 controller.

[@KINGxINISIDIOUS]

Are you saying your controller isn’t working with Gamepad on? Also are you running the game through steam or no?

[@aldoard]

@@KINGxINISIDIOUS thanks i just rebooted and it worked

[@darksign5621]

How do we pick attacks to use on controller? Like i dont know how to fight anything

[@prototyp9828]

Hello, how do I disable the UI circle in the bottom screen ? (on Pc)

[@Couch_TTV]

I can from console when I went to mouse and key it was so fukin slow press to many keys for combo's. it's like fighting games.😅

[@intensifies3362]

[@purpaleslushii]

Sure!

[@IprevailXIV]
