Let’s talk control schemes for a second

When I play controller, here's what works for me:



The rationale is that your thumbs should be on both sticks as much as possible; this allows you to be on top of your movement and camera control at all times, something that's heavily influenced by years of console FPS games, but also translates well to a fast-paced action game like ACVI. Left stick controls movement, including Assault Boost (i.e., sprint), and right stick controls camera and hard lock toggle.

Left and right triggers for hand weapons makes sense to me, as triggers are also the button most often used for firing actions in modern games. Left and right bumpers round out the movement options, and I think it's a good choice for them as Quick Boost is still the thing you'll find yourself doing most often in this game outside of certain builds, so something you can easily tap periodically seems optimal.

Now for the back weapons, I use a controller with 2 back paddles (I wish I could have 4). Those back paddles get mapped as my X and Y buttons - again with the intention of never having to take my thumbs off the sticks except for downtimes. This could work well for you @Chrono because the DS Edge has those paddles anyway.

Hey Grim, been a while. I’m surprised these forums still exist tbh. 

And Nix, keep up the work on YouTube lol. 

It’s been a little disorienting, but I’m starting to get the hang of how to control things in AC6. I suck right now though. All throughout the AC2 and AC3 franchise, I never switched to using joysticks. I remained true to the old-school controls, as long as the game allowed. The clunky controls were a big part of its charm for me. 

For AC6, my brain is getting more tripped up when I claw the controller. I’ve mapped the ascend button to the right paddle, and the sideways boost to the left paddle. The triggers are the arm weapons, and the shoulder buttons are shoulder weapons. I’m just my index fingers for the triggers and bumpers for now.
