Deathloop fits an awful lots of inputs onto one controller, so go easy on yourself if you can’t remember precisely what D-Pad button does what in the heat of a fight. Remember, you’ll need to unlock and equip different slabs before activating them with a tap of L1. Make sure you know which item is equipped in your left hand before you use it or you could accidentally teleport into a turret’s line of sight! Likewise, you’ll need to bear in mind which weapons you’re using to know if you can dual wield or use a gadget while fighting.
If you want to get involved in the multiplayer, Juliana’s Deathloop controls match Colt’s in almost all regards. The main difference is in how her Tag function works. Instead of Focusing on an NPC, Juliana can alert any nearby NPCs to Colt’s presence, shifting the odds in her favor.
With our Deathloop PS5 controls, you’re already well on your way to breaking the loop. You can check the Deathloop controls at any time and even remap them from the game’s settings menu. We’ll have more Deathloop guides up soon, so check back on the game’s hub page for more useful advice.
