And now r2 doesnt work on it. And its not my controller bc r2 works in every game except this one idk wat to do. Plz help. From what I've researched, it has to do with my (in theory) worn out R2 trigger (even though it works just fine in every other game). It only shoots if I press it REALLY hard (almost breaking the controller) It seems to be a common issue, and it has to do with the way the game was programmed (it I changed the target + SHOOT controls for L1 + R1, solved the problem of shoot but to accelerate anything. When I put the alternative control option the R2 button is used to hide behind things, and it usually works , to give punch also works the problem and shoot and speed . My R2 button is working when i play another games but when i get into Gta i can't shoot.How can i solve this problem?(i am in ps4) Locked post. New comments cannot be posted.
