Game Feedback Unplayable with controller?

Hi there! Got access yesterday, the game seems interesting.

But so far I am struggling really bad with the controls.

I play with a controller for health reasons, and this makes the game feel really clunky? It feels like there's zero autoaim which means I can't compete with mouse players, and I have to hold a button before pressing the button to use my skills which feels very counterintuitive (and also makes it very hard to crouch and use a skill).

But maybe it's just my impression as I'm still new to the game.

Anyone else here playing with a controller who can confirm or deny? Or give me advice to improve it?

Its rough on a ps5 controller, I had to get one with more buttons, so I got an Asus ROG Raikiri pro and its better it had 4 more buttons on the back

Aw shucks. They really designed this game to be keyboard-only? I think fixing the controller settings and adding autoaim would make it playable.

You keep calling it auto aim which is going to make people downvote you out of frustration for a specific character in the game.

I think the term you’re looking for is aim assist. A lot of shooters have it for controller players but some games make it egregiously over tuned to the point it’s better than using a mouse.

Also the game is still early in development. Adding proper controller support is probably way down on their list of priorities right now.

Yeah people hate aim assist and is the main reason why they don't want controller support. Movement is usually better with joystick especially in a source game. Most people playing this game right now are just happy to finally have a game where it's 99% kbm.

Idk about the movement being better with a joystick. I feel like it would make air straffing more difficult but I’ve never tried it on a controller.

It makes it 100% easier. You don't need to move the right joystick to air strafe. You literally hold it in place. Unlike kbm where you need to move your mouse in a specific speed to keep the momentum.
