Battlefield 2042 Console Players Aren't Happy About the Grenade Button

[Animous]

Video game players are open to developers taking risks and trying new things, but one subject that's certain to cause controversy is moving the default "Throw Grenade" button on a controller. Yet that's exactly what Battlefield 2042 has implied it's doing according to its recently released console controller scheme. Admittedly, it may just be a misconception, but that hasn't stopped a lot of those looking forward to Battlefield 2042 to exclaim their disappointment with EA DICE's decision.

A thread on the subject of Battlefield 2042's controller scheme has climbed to the top of the franchise's most popular subreddit. The thread title reads simply, "Grenade button on console.." with an attached image of Battlefield 2042's controller scheme for its upcoming open beta. Accruing more than 2,500 upvotes and nearly 400 comments, Battlefield fans are questioning what EA DICE is thinking, as the grenade button appears to have been moved to a very awkward button.

The controller scheme shows that the grenade button in Battlefield 2042's open beta is set to the up button on the PlayStation 5 DualSense's directional pad. To repeat, the throw grenade button is on the directional pad on the left side of the controller. To use this button, players will have to remove their thumb from the joystick responsible for movement, forcing them to pause to throw a grenade. Alternatively, they can make a "claw," using their index finger to press the directional buttons and second and third fingers on the left bumper and trigger.
