Kromatia Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 So I recently rebuilt the Panthera to enjoy the new Tekelu skin I have acquired and the buff is nice. *thumbs up* On the other hand, there is no good real work around to making alt fire on a controller not suck with this thing. With it being a held alt fire rather than a toggle (Stradavar comes to mind as a preference), unless you bind the alt fire to one of the joystick presses, you can't rotate the camera to properly aim the silly thing. I would definitely think a toggle for this alt fire would enhance its ease of use across the board as well. Some mice (if set up with alt fire on right click) also cannot press left and right at the same time. *mutters in Magic Mouse* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)OriginalEquinox Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I think I brought this up myself sometime back, the alt fire on guns needs to be toggle regardless of the weapon, the Tiberon is a good example of this. I like the Corinth but rarely ever use it because using the alt fire explosive does more damage to the controller than to a high level enemy, and as for the Panthera despite spending a good week farming the Miter for it I sold it after maxing because of how bad it felt to use that awesome Gears of War style chainsaw, they clearly didn't consider console or controller users when making that decision 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaZeku Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Different players have different preferences on whether multi-firing-mode weapons should switch or have direct alt fires, so I don't wanna force one or the other, and instead would very much like an option on a per-weapon basis, maybe right there in the Arsenal, for how to trigger the alt fire. You could also add some new (or old) options, like, triggering Penta 'nades via Aim (and removing ADS for it), having one firing mode while aiming and the other through hip fire, you could do weird stuff like assign Tiberon Prime's three modes to hip fire, aim, and direct alt fire, plus why not let us choose which is the primary mode and which the alt fire / what we start the mission with. BTW, I would love an alt fire for the Synthesis Scanner that deploys Kinetic Siphon Traps (and of course for Melee to not unequip the dang thing, same with Fishing Spears etc). In addition, was there actually any reason to remove the ability to switch Sniper zoom levels without aiming first? Furthermore, in the mean time, could something be done about Melee negating the ability to use Secondary Fire? E.g. on Corinth, you cannot fire an Airburst without first shooting / aiming to switch back to your gun, argh why, that kinda ruined that weapon for me.

Mostly just Phantasma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)RenovaKunumaru Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I got a controller with paddles and it solved the issue. I'd recommend it because this is an issue that's been brought up for years as well as charge abilities with swipe functioning and DE doesn't seem to have it on their todo list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality difference between original Xbone equipment and third party equipment is staggering, and since I play on PC mostly, I'd prefer to not buy a PS4 controller to have to muddle through figuring out how to set that up either. Sorry, this is not a real solution for many of the users. I'm glad it works for you, but it is something that needs addressing by DE as it is definitely detrimental to play.

I agree with you. Good luck bringing the issue to DE's attention. Was just a suggestion in case you wanted to use the weapon with ease now, rather than waiting for DE to implement an alternative "someday" 5 hours ago, (PS4)LoisGordils said: Not a solution, genius.

Ah Lois, the problem child of the forums. Oh well, sad day for all the people who can't come up with alternatives to solve their own issues. Including you. Solution, band-aid, call it whatever you want. I don't have that problem anymore. Sucks for everyone else. Case closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So being forced to always hit the alt fire button to deal status sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
