Do not download until f2p.

EDIT.

The below is no disrespect to the Devs. The game is great and enjoyable. If you wish to purchase the founders pack for the cosmetics and crowns (ingame money) then do so, but right now due to no fault other than the amount of Switch players being low, the game is a lot harder as you are forced to play with a higher majority of XBOX players.

 

 

Sadly, as much as I want to enjoy this game it is ruined with the cross platform. Yes, they are looking into it, but as the Switch numbers are quite low during the paid release its constantly putting us against full xbox lobby's. Its a massive disadvantage and its saddening. There's also some frame rate issues at certain points in the game. I feel the game runs smoother as handheld which is weird, but playing on a small screen again is a disadvantage.

I would not say that you can't enjoy the game but I agree, Xbox cross- play is destroying the pleasure.

Yeah, I mean no disrespect to the Devs. The game alone is great. A nicer, friendly version of Escape from Tarkov, but going up against XBOX is way to such of a disadvantage. I just spent £60 ordering the Nintendo Pro Controller just to try and get a better advantage to this game before it's free as the joy cons are horrendous for shooting games. Hopefully we will see a lot more Switch players on the f2p.

I see. I thought about a Pro Controller too. Does it really help ?

Add me if you want to play some games 😉

It should hopefully be arriving tomorrow. Was hoping for today, but no joy. I will let you know if its worth it. Using a legend of zelda pad for £20 but it feels cheap and delayed. Looks nice though lol!

Well, I've testing the pro controller. Does it feel any different? Not really. Although, it does feel nicer in the hands and the analogues do feel less loose and smoother, the game suffers from frame rate issues so the aiming jumps. Hopefully the fps will be patched.

I agree with the Xbox frustration! Haha, hey, at least we’ll be seriously battle hardened when more switch players join in! As for the pro controller, it def makes a decent improvement, but not the fix all - I also haven't really started into the controller settings much either.  I feel like there is just something a bit off on every shooter I’ve played on switch - or maybe it’s just me...   I’ve played around 30 encounters now and have 1 kill.  I’ve stopped taking guns because it’s just one more thing to lose when I die! I’ve never been top tier at games like this, but I’ve never been bottom rung either! Granted I’m very new, so on top of sucking, I’m facing people with top grade weaponry.  That said, it’s difficult to know if I’m that significantly outmatched by Xbox due to hardware differences, or because of low skill and weapon levels?  This game definitely needs to be easier starting out.  However, I would rather it be a little harder than feel cheap.

So I'm a new player and yes, getting into a lobby with some 1500 kills people is pretty hard. I just need the loot for getting ready to start, but it's very hard. I decided to go in solo q without anything, just for looting and only in duo with one cheap weapon.

 

But as said, you are getting crows worth of 40 bucks for 20 plus the outfit. From the crows you have a good start with buying a battle pass and saving your items. So for me it's worth it.

 

The game is easier to play with a pro controller, if you are playing with motion controls because you can focus on screen and don't have to swing it around like crazy. If you aren't playing with motion controls I think there isn't a big difference.

In my opinion the motion control is better than nothing, but even if you changed some settings it's always harder to get from right-left (X) than top to bottom (Y).

If you only want to buy a pro controller for this game (with or without motions) better buy crows for save your items... but if you are (going to) playing more games, where you have to aim with motion control, then it's totally worth.

There is a delay setting in advance. Not sure why its there but there's a setting that delays your button pressing. Its only by a split of a second or so, but turning it down even more can make the difference. No control or joy con on the Switch seems to have the feel that a playsation or xbox has. The fluidity isn't there and the hardware upgrade they have makes it 100x easier to be spotted. I've managed to get myself a couple of kills. Possibly over 50 in the 2 weeks I played, but it was hard. You can get guns pretty easily and 3 burst AR is an instant kill if you can get the aim. For now, im giving it a break, even with the extended season pass. I won't be able to fill it as most xp comes from grabbing the air drop and that gets camped by snipers. Shame the F2P side isn't related till the end of the year as I don't feel like playing it till I can either get a full lobby of Switch or be able to turn cross play off.
