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

I only play the game with controller. Works pretty well! The only class that is a little klunky to play is scout but it is still do-able.

It’s highly dependent on the player and the build. I played so much Xbox as a teen that my aim is often better on controller than with keyboard and mouse.

But also, some weapons and classes don’t need much active aim. You can build a load out that “compensates” for the stuff you’re not good at. Something I really like about DRG is that there are very few builds that are strictly better than the others; I regularly play with a medium size group and I am almost exclusively a scout, with only one loadout that I use, but the way that I play varies a lot depending on who I play with. One friend’s engineer is extremely dynamic, and great at clutch revives in awkward places. If a different friend is the engineer, then they play much more “traditionally” and have their turrets set up to defend an area, then move onwards.

A lot of the fun variety in this game comes from people finding the way that’s easiest and most fun for them. Definitely don’t worry about using the controller. I’ve tried switching to keyboard and mouse a fe times and honestly, I really miss being able to switch weapons with the d pad. It’s chill, glad to have you along, miner.

I never tested it since i am a PC player for my whole life. But if you feel more comfortable that way: go ahead. This game is about having fun, not about being the most skilled dwarf in the Galaxy.
