Call of Duty: Vanguard is packed full of different controller settings for those of us who want to play on Console. Here are the options you have to choose from.
Call of Duty: Vanguard might be a casual shooter, but with the right patience, you can become a pro. Before that's possible, though, you need to master the best controls for you. Yes, that's right, each player is different, and Sledgehammer Games have included a selection of preset Controller Settings in Vanguard.
We're going to take you through all of the Controller Settings in Vanguard, to help you make sense of them and choose the right ones for your playstyle. There are a lot, so we'll stop dragging, but before we begin: make sure that you read through these Vanguard Control Settings carefully, and stick to one once you have established your favorites. If you want to master the game, you need consistency.
What are the Best Vanguard Control Settings for You?
Call of Duty: Vanguard's Control Settings offer a variety of options for players to explore. Each player is different, as each player has played a selection of different games in the past, has a different playstyle, and want different things out of the game. We have recorded the settings menu below to help take you through the options, and then will break them down further below.
Which Controller Settings Do We Recommend?
We recommend going for the controller settings that most set your playstyle, and that you are most familiar with. This could potentially mean the default settings, it could mean with inverted controls, it could mean all sorts of things. We are boring and, personally, use the default settings. They are the following:
| Function | Controller Input |
| Scoreboard | Touch Pad |
| Aim Down Sight | L2 |
| Tactical Equipment | L1 |
| Gestures | D-Pad Up |
| Alternative Fire | D-Pad Left |
| High Five | D-Pad Down |
Killstreaks | D-Pad Right |
| Sprint (press) / Steady Aim (press) / Movement | L3 |
| Pause | Options |
| Fire Weapon | R2 |
| Lethal Equipment | R1 |
| Switch Weapon | Triangle |
| Crouch / Prone | Circle |
| Interact / Reload | Square |
| Jump / Stand | X / Cross |
| Melee Attach (press) / Look | R3 |
These are our recommended settings, and we will go into more detail about the specific gameplay settings we recommend in a future article. For now, though, take a look at the video we popped above, dive into Vanguard, and figure out what controls you enjoy the most. It's mostly up to your preference, so just take the time to figure out your taste.
