Splitgate controller button and sensistivity settings

Console players who are used to games like Call of Duty may be used to changing up the button layout to some degree. Especially as the game has increased in speed and buttons need to be moved around for optimal gameplay.

Although Splitgate does have similarities to past games, especially Halo which many console players are used to, the best option for now is the default button layout on the controller. Considering the melding of portals and weapons, the developers have made the default option the best version for players to utilize.

However, that could change over time, or depending on the player's hand placement. One of the best changes, if needed, can pertain to the crouch and the melee placement. Melee can be moved to the B/Circle button, while crouch goes to RS/R3 on the stick. It gives the usual tactical placement players use in other games.

As for the sensitivity on the controller, there are a bunch of settings that players can begin with until they are ready to make finer adjustments later on.
