Hey guys, new to the game (just bought it today! looks fun).

I know it's probably sub-optimal and that aiming precision isn't gonna be the same, but I'm wondering if I risk getting flamed or something if I use a controller instead of kb + mouse.

The reason is that I'm not used to playing shooters on a keyboard and the controller just feels so much more comfortable to me.

Thank you <3

There are dozens of us lol. I'll take a controller and a recliner over k&m any day.

Play how you like, my friend.

I actually use both. I'm on a Steam Deck and prefer being docked and using a mouse and keyboard for shooters, but... I did learn the gyro controller for when I'm handheld, and it's not too bad! The game doesn't have a built in shooting range, but Haz 1 (the lowest difficulty) served that purpose for me pretty well when learning the controller aiming.

Have fun, and rock and stone!

Play how you want. I may groan internally if you don't spam ping mushrooms or gold.

Just played a couple non-solo missions (I was too scared to play with others at first, since I had no idea what I was doing) and I'm having a blast. Playing with randos is so much better, mostly for the rock and stone spam ngl. But yea I'm spamming ping ty for the advice lol

I can't believe I slept on this gem for so long!
