Question 1

do you need a pc to map the buttons or can you do it straight threw the ps4?

Accepted Answer

You have to subscribe to them for 15 bucks a year through your credit card for the strike pack mod central to even recognize your controller. I couldnt get my PC to allow me to use the pack to play APEX on my computer but then again I aint giving these people my credit card. I like to use PAYPAL for stuff like this because I can manage my subs from paypal. Companies who do not allow you to use paypal usually try to play games with cancelling subs..

The sad part is that if your Strike Pack needs a firmware update you can not do it unless you give them 15 bucks....

My opinion and my boys is that it is useless in its default format for games like Apex Legends it is useless... I will explain, weapons like the R-99 are arguably OP and pref by most players. That weapon has a savage recoil the first half of the clip and then it holds dead still for the second half. There just isnt a way for this strike pack to accomodate for it by using the default mods. Maybe the the software has an option that lets you time the recoil mitigation but I doubt it.. Strike pack anti-recoil works by simply applying a varying amount of downward input on the analog stick. You can adjust the amount of downward pressure applied using the left and right bumpers while holding left dpad...

MY 14 year old refuses to use the thing with apex because it doesnt offer him any advantage. He has been playing the game long enough that he instintivly applies the correct amout of down pressure through muscel memory that the anti-recoil this thing provides is just another muscle memory to re-learn. To be fair he is a complete sweat and competes in Master Ranked matches daily.

Now for games like Warzone or Multiplayer COD I can see how it could be beneficial IF and only IF you drop in with loadouts so you have your Strike Pack pre adjusted to that particular weapon... Because the rapid fire is similar to the anti recoil and you need to adjust the rate of fire to sync with your chosen weapon or you end up with a much much lower rate of fire.. However, using Rapid Fire with anti-recoil will give you another distinct set of advantages in COD because of how recoil is applied in the game via fire rates.. The longer you hold the trigger the greater your recoil becomes in games like this. So with rapid fire essentially mimmicing you pulling the trigger as fast as possible you do not add those compounding affects and gives the anti-recoil mod a stable adjustment..

All and all the strike pack does what it claims to do.The Game Pass thing is kinda a crappy thing to do to your customers. I thought I had a driver issue and tok me about an hour to figure out that I can not even detect my controller unless I have an active subscription.... WHY...

I would like to be able to plug the controller into my PC and use it but it WILL NOT. Only useable with PS4. CRAPPY..  The PS4 controller natively connects sooo blah!!! I would love to be able to plug it in and make adjustments to my setting in real time instead of fumbling through all the button holds but YOU CAN NOT.

WHY DO I NEED A SUBSCRIPTION FOR THOSE THINGS? Why wouldnt you just give me a month free of game pass subscription? Maybe, just maybe there is functionality there that makes this thing more suitable for my needs!

I think I will hot glue a bobble head on this and stick it on the dash of my truck.... That is an honest statement, I cant imagine the game pass making this thing more functional and I am not buying your hype!

Giving swagg to youtubers for reviews wont make this better...

Question 2

soo... this will work on a regular ps4 controller and will work like a Scuf gamming controller? talking about the paddles..???

Accepted Answer

Can work just like a Scuf. Tournament mode has just the paddles activated. Mod mode has the paddles and mods activated. I actually like the paddle placement of this better then my Scuf.

Question 3

Will it come with a paper telling me how to activate the mods and do I need any thing to activate the mods like a separate sold wire

Accepted Answer

The instruction manual goes through how to activate mods, though it is a bit confusing. You're better off watching youtube vids for that part. Also, everything you need comes with.

Question 4

Will this replace a scuf controller?

Accepted Answer

You Won’t Get The Premium Feel Of Trigger Stops, And All That Jazz- But You Will Get To Paddles On The Controller. It Depends On What You Like, If You Have The Money To Buy A 160-200 Dollar Controller, Go For It But If You Don’t, Great Alternative
