Who's the one that makes the default controller layouts for killers???

I mean seriously bro, to teleport with Dredge you have to either hold left trigger with your middle finger and teleport with your index, or be Speedy Gonzales with your fingers and press them one after another in quick succession. There's another button on the other side of the controller bud, yes it's used to preform 90% of the killers actions, but you can't do any of those while holding your teleport so what's the point.


Do you guys not have ps4/5s and Xboxes at your office? Hell all you need is the controller for it.


And before anyone says this, I shouldn't HAVE to alter my controls to play one killer comfortably.

    Yes I had to do finger gymnastics with the Dredge as well

    It's Great to press LB while holding LT 😂

    I've only played Dredge on PC and not on Xbox yet, but I've seen the controls and they do look funky to use. Some people are used to holding the triggers with their middle fingers and leaving their index fingers on the bumpers, but not everyone does that. I feel like this problem of holding down the ability button for Dredge could be solved on all platforms if they made it toggle based instead, or at least an option in general.

    I played Dredge for the first time last night on Xbox and can confirm it is EXTREAMLY awkward to use the LT and LB together for each teleport Who play tested this configuration and decided it was a good idea?

    All of this would be okay if we had MnK support for consoles

    Am I the only one that doesn't have a problem with using Dredge's Power on a controller?

    Do you always have your index finger on LB/RB and your middle finger on LT/RT? If so I can see it being natural. The problem for me is that I have to change grip every time I want to use his power.

    Yes.

    If you don't, then I can see it being a problem

    so whats your idea.

    For me the awkward part is pressing RT to return to its Remnant. I will play in the afternoon to see how the controller layout could improve.

    Default survivor controller layout uses the same button for prop interaction and healing so yeah, they clearly aren't putting much effort on that.
