How come nobody publishes a controller/button map using the actual controller? I understand RDR has super complicated button combos, but nonetheless, I can’t use these lists, only with the graphic of the actual controller and buttons is helpful to me… 🙁
I can’t seem to find anyone else who has complained about this. During the game you will receive and find objects. After which a box will show; saying hit this button for further details about the object you just received. The button it shows to hit on screen is round with three parallel lines on it. My Xbox One X controller does not have this button. I’ve tried every button but nothing happens. I feel like I’m missing out on a lot of valuable information.
Please help me understand what button they are referring to.
Thanks
It’s the right special/system button. The same one you’d use to pause a different game or pull up the system menu.
I think it’s either the options or share button, but im not sure, i dont have a ps
It is the Options button, as lofsz said.
Can you please identify the “I” button on Playstation? Like when you finish a mission and get a gold/silver/bronze, and it says “Hold the ‘I’ button for more info”. I can’t find that one. (I’ve tried all the “L” buttons. None work.)
What about the controls while on horse?
Thanks for the feedback. We will be adding it here shortly.
