What are the Controls on a Gamepad?

I'm trying to write a guide for the competition and I would like to include controls for consoles if possible. I'm a PC player myself, so I was wondering if any console owners could

(a) outline which buttons all the different actions are mapped to by default on a controller

(b) tell me whether the controls for Xbox and Playstation are different (and, if so, what the differences are)

Thank you, much appreciated!

    These are the default controls for PS4.

    For killers: hit is R2, power is L2,

    pickup a survivor R1, drop a survivor circle

    For ghostface specifically, crouch L1

    Survivors m1 actions are all R1, hitting a skill check L1, healing with a med-kit R2, insta-heal L1. Dead hard is X

    AFAIK, R1 and R2 on xbox are RT and RMB respectively and X is A and Circle is B L1 and L2 are LT and LMB, obviously.

    Hope I could help. Gl with your guide

    That is helpful, thank you. What about struggling on the hook?

    Xbox:


    LT = Crouch

    LB = Skill Checks/Secondary Action/Run


    RT = Use Item/Weapon

    RB = Interact


    A = Use Button for Dead Hard etc.

    Hold B = Drop Item

    Y = (I forgot)

    X = (Forgot)


    LS = Move

    RS = Look around


    Select Button = Invert Look Controls

    Pause Button = Pause

    Thanks for the help you guys. Hopefully this will be helpful to someone else - in the end I decided not to include console controls because I can't confirm them personally, and I'd rather the guide be incomplete than inaccurate.

    Hopefully that makes sense, thank you again for helping :)

    I wouldn't include this in your guide but to any Xbox players it'll save you money on controllers if you remapped the skill check buttons (LB and RB) to something less fragile. I remapped mine and it's way better and it's such an odd binding that I can't even remember it.
