Any console Tricksters doing ok (or well) with him using controller?

I’ve come across near god-tier Huntresses, blights, very solid Tricksters etc so yes it’s possible to master any of the killers on console. I was lucky enough to once come across a legendary curve Hillbilly playing on console and it made my day.

Scuff controllers/modded controllers exist along with Cronus zen/max but I’ve never personally purchased and used them for any games so I have no idea if they would give console players an advantage in Dbd. Plus even if those things fly under the radar on tons of games… it’s still cheating and that’s honestly super lame.

playing on Steam but with Controller, and while i haven’t played Trickster for a while the recoil I actually got used to and could compensate, though I definitely didn’t have perfect accuracy. I will give him another chance after the Midchapter buffs.

I am doing okay with Deathslinger, Nemesis, Clown and Plague. Demo, Victor and Pyramidhead it depends..

I can’t hit anything with Huntress, Oni or Blight though, even after getting their adepts/achievements I gave up on those, Trickster is definitely one of the easier controllable for me.

Dude on pc we get recoil if we hold M1. I'm assuming since you guys are used to hold R2 when playing FPS games, you guys are holding the the button. Try tapping, I tap on pc so I don't get recoil.

I don’t really know, I just try to compensate while throwing. I do have gyrocontrols on but to be honest, I can’t remember if I used those for Trickster

i haven’t tried throwing 1 knife at a time though, that would take to much time for me

Ya Im able to use him decently. Just like with Oni you won’t be as precise with controller

I've faced some Tricksters who are quite good. He is not as weak as everyone thinks he is.

He denies you any loop that isnt tall, you will get injured or go down if you try to play them.

You can loop him but, you will inevitibly get hit and eventually injured or down.

Missing with Trickster is very forgiving, you just keep throwing.

Indoor maps are probably his weakest point but, if his hit requirement goes down to 6 instead of 8, I think he will be pretty tough.

He's my current "main" and controller is incredibly rough with him, mostly because for some reason this game horizontal and vertical sens arent the same, Vertical is slower while horizontal is incredibly fast.

The only reliable way i found to aim his knives is to strafe aim them and only use the right joystick to dampen vertical recoil and never ever uses it to aim horizontaly because the sens is way too fast that it will put you way off target, i guess it could work if you use very low sens but i wouldn't recommend it because it will make M1 chases very sluggish IMO.

I really hope devs gives us in depth sensitivity settings soon because it's what holds back most "aiming based" killers on console.

Imo Trickster is the worst killer to play on controller right now. Even post-release Blight felt better to play.

It's not just the recoil and spread of knives, the lack of deadzone settings for this game make it simple impossible to keep up with survivor movement. You can't make fine adjustments with the aim and it's painful.

If you can't do well with Huntress and Deathslinger don't even bother with Trickster, the first two actually feel okay to play because you can at least flick your shots with the speargun or be patient with the hatchet.

I know you said you tried it out already. But keep on trying to learn by tapping. I had another console user tell me they could hit by tapping. And since if we hold M1 we get horrible recoil, I'm going to assume it's the same case for controller. And another thing the slightest movement can cause recoil as well. So try to keep the analog still.

I play him at 40% - 45% sensitivity, which I've found to be the best middle ground between M1 and knives. Play at 40% if the map allows you to use your blades easily like Coldwind or Autohaven, 45% if it doesn't. Always make light adjustments to aim with the right stick.

For recoil, I very lightly hold down on the right stick, which mostly counteracts the recoil. Not the horizontal recoil, mind you, but Trickster throws knives so quickly that odds are some will land on the survivor.

Not much to say besides that. Depending on the situation, sometimes the Slinger tech of picking a spot to aim at and firing there instead of following the survivor is effective.

If a survivor is caught in an area where you can unload.. try aiming at the hamstrings and slightly move the right analog down to compensate. Similar to managing recoil in something like R6 Siege. If a survivor is moving left to right constantly you can try mirroring their movement by rotating left stick up and left to right in a semi-circle or down and left to right if you want back up smoothly while aiming. If this made sense the way I described it then you should have an easier time focusing on keeping you thumb on the right stick down a bit. To avoid recoil altogether then throw one knife at a time or a burst of 3 or so and reset yourself if you need to. Eventually you’ll get the feel for it and become more comfortable.

If this doesn’t help at all I apologize but hopefully it will.

You can also rebind R2 to R1 or vice versa if you’ve already changed the input. A swap like that can subconsciously make you hold the controller differently and possibly increase your control over your movements/inputs.. sometimes it does the opposite though.

After the first couple of knives, each subsequent knife bounces you a little up and to the right. It’s not horrible, but hitting multiple mid to long range knives in a row is a challenge, especially when the survivors are fidgeting to make it harder.

maybe for console players and controller users, but I rapid fire all the time on PC and would hate for that feature to be removed because of controller players struggling to use it. that wouldn't be very fair at all.
