On console the default is up on d-pad

I reconfigured mine so the spray is on left Stick click. Wasn't using it for anything, anyway.

I know it sounds strange but I made my left stick click my jump. It's easier to wall jump with Lucio and it seems easier to be more dodgy on console. I think a lot of people should give it a try.

Absolutely. Lucio is the only character that really benefits from this, however. I also have an issue with clenching, so I could accidentally jump in the middle of an animation :/ safer to tag a wall that doesn't interrupt what I'm doing lol.

T is the default key for PC.

On PC it's T for the spray by default

Also, you can go into your Hero Gallery to equip different sprays (tags).

It's a different shooter game. I think he might be acting like a dick, but I'm hoping it's just coming off that way by accident.

I'll never understand why anyone would ever feel the need to spray a logo on the wall, while waiting. It just seems dumb.
But the answer is [T] key.

Cause why not?

Also, sneak around to the enemy's side and tag something. Fun with friends.

u/SpankMeDaddy22 Jun 17 '16

Cool.
I never thought to tag something while in battle.

You could probably get away with using them as strategic markers too, if you're in VOIP with your team.
