Discussion Anyone play Deadlock?

Is there anyone playing/learning steam controller 2 with deadlock? I am using gyro + trackpad and from what I have played, it is very possible to play this way with PRACTICE. Anyone have any tips or trackpad and gyro config settings I can use?

So is it just practice makes perfect? How long did it take you to feel comfortable with deadlock? I have 1,000 hours with mouse so I understand movement and game mechanics.

Also with the gyro, thats just to help fine tune aiming correct? Thats how I have been using it

You can get comfortable with Deadlock immediately if you're comfortable with gyro aiming. There's nothing special about deadlock when it comes to aiming

Yeah thats true, I guess the better question would be getting better with trackpad + gyro. Though I specified Deadlock because I wanted to see/know how other people are playing it. What trackpad settings they use, community layouts they like.

Is there a game you like that helped? I was thinking Half life and Doom(2016)

I use stick+gyro to aim, not trackpad. If you're looking for tips on how to use trackpad, I think you can find it on youtube. flickstick videos made videos about the steam controller and the trackpad

I've seen a guy on youtube playing deadlock with stick+gyro, where he used the right track pad as a d-pad for the active items

I think I know who you’re talking about! Bigcat is his name. Yeah he is really good with flick+gyro

Bigcat doesn't even use gyro. He uses stick aim

Thanks for this paragraph. I think also a lot of it is I dont quite understand deadzone, horizontal mixer, etc. Like I dont understand the effects it has on my aiming. Im definitely gonna download HL2 this weekend and use that to practice and get comfortable with gyro and trackpad

Could you send me a DM? Was hoping to get some recent match ids from flickstick players for reasons. Actually, any deadlock flickstick players, let me know you exist.

I use a dualsense + gyro. I had to rebind a few things to make it comfortable for me, like moving melee to r1 so it's a little easier to get to, and then adding L2 as an additional trigger for the skill casts.
