Controller Grenade Throw Mechanism Malfunction

Status:	Duplicate
Added by:	hxyl on May 23, '26
Reported for:	RC:EA:00.07.09

Steps to Reproduce

Play the game with a controller.
Get a grenade.
Try to throw it — the input response is extremely poor.

Explanation

Controller Input Issue
It is nearly impossible to throw grenades using a controller in the game. Additionally, the L1 indicator can become stuck.

LB activates the laser pointer.

RB triggers the character's skill pre-cast.

Grenades are thrown by pressing LB and RB together.

Throwing a grenade is extremely difficult, as both buttons must be pressed simultaneously with almost zero margin for error.
If the timing is even slightly off, the LB laser pointer gets stuck and remains on screen.

This issue is challenging even for the host player. For clients, it effectively means losing access to grenades for the entire match.

The screenshots show the buttons on the controller (default settings, unchanged).
