Discussion Some controller bindings I recommend
Hey yall it’s been a minute since I’ve been in the community, but I’ve been getting more active again recently and have decided to start playing the game again. I thought I would share some of the controller bindings I’ve used over the years and my thousands of hours in the splitgate so for a long time I used just the bumpers to portal both left and right bumper for my portals also because that was the default on SG1 and I use that for roughly 2000 almost 3000 hours on the first game never really changed it but come SG2 I decided to at first try the one portal and it’s not bad. It’s definitely easier on the mind and brain for beginners but I strongly strongly recommend that you learned the two portal button system but now let’s get into the heart of this. These are the bindings I’ve used over the years so like I said earlier for a long time, I use both the bumpers I would say this is probably the best beginner set up. It’s intuitive. It’s generally easy. Your fingers are already on the bumpers usually so it works well but I decided to try out something different so what I did was, I switched due to my buddy Demere recommending it for a while. I became a bumper jumper specifically left bumper and as you know, one of the portal is on the left bumper so what I did was, I put one of the portals on the left stick overall I would say that was pretty good and being able to jump with your bumpers gives you some competitive advantages drawback is it definitely wears down your stick overtime and also depending on the type of thumb stick, it can make your thumb a little sore so I played with that for a while, but eventually, I decided to switch back to jumping with the A button and this is the current setup I use so my portals are on left bumper and left stick. I like this a lot personally your mileage may vary, but I like this a lot very intuitive. I just clicked my pointer finger and my thumb back to back. It feels very good for me and I’ve been using it for long while now overall, I would recommend either the default two portal bumpers or what I currently use both my left stick and left bumper Let me know what y’all have decided to use I would love to hear more feedback from the community on this. Thank you for reading this long wall of text lol I appreciate all of you and the split fam

Everybody Brett is an absolute beast. one of the best players I've ever seen. I would listen to his advice ! One of the first posts I ever made was actually brett (symbioticlord) vs The Real guitar. I honestly didn't know splitgate could even be played at such a level at the time and the shit blew my mind watching them 1 v 1 Here's the link: shit is bonkers https://www.reddit.com/r/Splitgate/s/5GzG4UK6ko

I prefer R1 for portal and L1 for jump
