I would love to use flashlights more often but...

But aiming consistently with controllers in console (PS5) seems impossible. It is so frustrating because I would love to get challenges done or even exploit the flashlight perks. Can we get gyro controls for flashlight/camera controls? I play Splatoon and Fortnite with motion controls and it feels so smooth and easy to aim. I feel like motion would be perfect for aiming with the flashlight and would work great, for example, with Deathslinger as well.

    I play on PC with a controller and I 100% agree with you, it's way more complicated

    Using a controller prevents me of using Huntress, Deathslinger, Trickster (maybe not anymore after the rework), Hillbilly and to a lesser extent the Twins and the Oni

    I can't 360 too

    When I want to do blinding challenges against killers, I use flahbangs

    There are tutorials on how get good with a controller, but to me you will never be as good as a keyboard player

    I can still aim well with ps4 controller, but it's still noticeably so choppy and not as fluid as it used to be before they updated flashlights a gazillion times. Maybe they could put reticles on flashlights to make it easier to aim the thing and know where it's pointing. 😀

    I would love for BHVR to add a flashlight tutorial with a Killer bot or something. I use a controller too but even if I didn't, at this point it would just get me killed. There's no way for me to safely learn without ruining it for the rest of the lobby.

    I'm too afraid to even bring one now. I wouldn't want teammates thinking I can do anything with it and I know how Killers feel about them, so I'd be painting a big target on my back too.

    This is 100% true. I recently bought an xbox and started a new account. I am maining huntress as out of the free ones she is my favourite however, I can never use her to her full potential because I am on controller. I also really struggle with flashlight saves. It's a real shame the devs seem to be to lazy to bring K&M to console.

    I see 1 flashlight and I throw on lightborn


    The blind animation is painful in a dark room, so I'd rather not give you the chance
