343i - Please Add Additional Controller Settings for Equipment Use

Games Halo Infinite
1

TL;DR
343i, please add controller setting options to bind different equipment to be used with different controller buttons/button combos/button long-presses, and then leave the D-Pad for grenade selection.

Does anybody else feel like some additional customization around equipment use would be really nice on controller? It’s a non-issue in MP because you can only carry 1 piece of equipment at at time. However in campaign, fluently using different equipment is hard with the current 2-button-press selection using the D-Pad (followed by the equipment button as a 3rd button press). I’d really like the option to assign each piece of equipment its own assignment using one of the following:

  • The default equipment button (I’d personally use this for grappleshot).
  • Button combinations (LB+RB, LT+RT, LB+X, etc.)
  • Button long presses (hold LB, etc.)

If this was implemented, the grenades could simply be mapped to UP, DOWN, LEFT, or RIGHT on the D-Pad.

Such a controller setup would make equipment and grenade use much more fluid in campaign.

id rather just be able to cycle through them with a single button press so just left on the dpad until i get the one i want to use same with grenades

I’d support this as another option, but I personally wouldn’t want it. That’s great for 2-3 items to choose between, but 4+ I feel like it gets too difficult. To each their own though – like I said, I’m a fan of giving players all these options.

I was actually thinking the exact same thing but on PC. With PC this would be even simpler since there are more keys to map to. Switching between equipment is such a hassle on PC (gear mapped to numbers 1-4). It means that 90% of the time you end up just leaving grapple equipped since it is by far the most useful. I can count practically on one hand how many times I used the dash ability. I think being able to map to different keys or as you mentioned on console button combos would be really nice and make everything feel smoother.

Not being able to use button combinations is also a problem in multiplayer for people using a controller. Pretty much nobody uses the ping/mark system on controller because there simply aren’t enough buttons.

Good point. 343i should extend this new button bind assignment system (presses, combos, holds) to just include all controls (not just equipment).
