This may overlap a lot with the discussion on what people are buying during the Steam sale discussion, but here it is anyways.

    I play level 8 without any real issues. It has a deck preset for graphics now. It definitely isn’t a stable 30 but it is in now way unplayable. I routinely walk away with a death or two plus about 550 kills vs both bots and bugs.

    It ain’t the prettiest game especially when played on a TV but I’ve been gaming for 30 years and it doesn’t bother me anymore if a game isn’t the sleekest looking. That said, if you only play handheld, it still looks pretty remarkable. And I have no issue using a controller since it was built for PS5

      Alright, I caved… I’m a level 11 cadet now, or works on the deck, and I’m having fun. I’m ready to move out of medium difficulty, I just need to squad up with good players, which had been hit or miss so far with the low level players.

      So you know how to push to talk on the deck?

        I don’t. But you can assign a key (paddle?) to it.

        Edit: just checked - go to options -> controller -> change bindings -> then it’s in the communication tab (third one).

        I’d recommend binding your l4 to the select button, r4 to start, and r5 to left bumper. Makes it much easier to call in strategems and use the map during play. Use l5 to open comms then

        Also change the grenade key to tap right bumper and unmap it from the right arrow d-pad button then change the right d-pad button to mark. If you don’t unbind it, you’ll mark and throw a grenade at the same time

          Thanks! I figured out how to do PTT, and m definitely going to remap what you said because I was finding the disconnect between using those defaults to be problematic. I kept grenading big holes but finding it awkward to switch back to a weapon before I got swarmed, or calling in strategems means I stand there like a doofus starting at my wrist while I up down left right, etc. Meanwhile, hoards are swarming me

            I also hate how the default was push to pull out grenades. Before I made it tap to throw and then the gun comes back out, I’d blow myself up way more than I care to admit lol

              I actually didn’t understand this part of your config… I tried to do it but my left dpad is needed for strategems… And I ended up in game without being able to use any that required left to call lol
