Playing Helldivers 2. My brother on the desktop on the living room TV. Me on the SteamDeck on the couch next to him. Playing co-op together.

    Do you have any controller tweaks to make aiming easier on deck? Maybe a skill issue, but in the chaos it gets real hard to hit anything in my experience

      Aiming with a controller is just going to be terrible. I’m just not a “serious” gamer, and we were playing beginner missions (literally my first time ever playing this game).

      In theory you could probably get very good at it using the gyros but there’s a pretty big learning curve there.

      Manually adjusting the deadzones will help a lot also.

      Not a Steamdeck or PC user but it works just fine on console with a controller.

      Try weapons like the punisher. I’m a deck only user, and while I’ve gotten rather good with the dominator, the punisher helped me get good so to speak with lots of spraying and praying.

      I play on helldiver difficulty with my deck, so it is possible.

      Turn on gyro, gyro to mouse, enable on right stick touch. You’ll have to play with the sensitivity settings and practice some, but aim macro with stick and use the gyro to fine tune
