All of these are legit tips for sure. I love the community for this game too, they genuinely help with each other without being toxic

Another good tip for the PS5 controller is to enable R1 for quick grenade. Doing this, you don't have to hit triangle to go back to your primary after throwing a grenade. After doing this, you'll have to make right on the D-pad as your ping button

If Arrowhead wanted us to be able to call down stratagems via a single button press, they'd have let us assign strategem slots to buttons. Macros are very convenient but the inputs are part of what the game uses to create difficulty and tension that ultimately elevates the payoff for a successful mission. Use them if you need to, of course; but if you don't need to, using them really just steals from your own fun.

Taking away the strategems would eliminate such a unique and fun method of the game

[viktor]

If you use macros you are no better than the automatons

I just use my right hand to enter D-Pad inputs for strategims while I run normal with my left hand, lol.

It was time to extract, but instead of heading to extraction my team decided to just waste all our supplies and reinforcements on fighting an endless horde. I was the only one to get make and extract. My tip is know when to run

[KageKamii]

While aim down sights, on controller, you can hold down⬇️ on the D-Pad to swap shoulders.

On Mouse and Keyboard, try binding your stratagems to your arrow keys. This lets you move and input stratagems, but you'll have to get used to doing objective inputs with the arrowkeys as well.

Didn’t even know you could disable the towers without blowing them up, always just gone the loud route

[BlahblahIV]

When using the HMG turret, to combat the slow rotation speed if you spin the camera 180* from where the gun is pointed it will rotate at twice the normal speed until it gets closer to the camera's alignment. Handy way to quickly rotate the otherwise very slow gun.

[seanlim]

you can knock the spores from across the map with the auto cannon

[Woud_]

Started yesterday and oh yes the claw grip, switching to R1 is a really good tip. My fingers are thanking you!

[snowkeu]

Keyboard and mouse player. Set your Stratagem buttons to you arrow keys. Allowing you to run and stratagem at the same time.

[saminamanat]

run and gun is truly the most helpful thing to know

[zerberus_ms]

1:48 Inaccurate. It allows you to charge the shots more, resulting in higher damage, but if charged to 100%, it explodes and kills you.

[BucklingSwashes]

2:36 DO NOT BE THIS PERSON unless there are no teammates in your vicinity. This can actually be devastating advice.

[zerberus_ms]

1:03 On PC, set the stratagem controls to arrow keys to do the same trick.

[Braddersgaming]

I went to get a physical copy of the game because I prefer to own a disc and case but at my local game shop the game had sold out so I got it on the store instead. Just shows how crazy this game has gone man.

If you want to keep the experience of inputting the stratagems while on PC and also enabling you to move while doing the inputs, bind the stratagem inputs to the corresponding arrow keys. Plus it's easier to read
