    Hours of Darkness DLC binoculars zoom and airstrike both use R2

    Binoculars zoom and airstrike both use R2 so every time I want to zoom in I have to use an airstrike. Need to fix this ASAP.

    Hey TOKEJOCKEY,

    I just tested this on a console in the office and R1 is the air strike button, not R2. Can you confirm you are not pressing both buttons at once and are using an official DualShock 4?

    Confirming r2 as strike button

    When you have button flip on (using r1 to shoot L1 to aim) the airstrike button is indeed the same as the binocular zoom.

    Airstrike and Zoom both use R2 with buttons switched

    I was playing last night and also found it annoying that I couldn't zoom with the binoculars without calling in an airstrike, as they were both done with R2. I was using the buttons switched (L1 to aim, R1 to shoot), so maybe the previous person to reply was correct that that could be the problem. Even so, it should get fixed.

    I play without button flip and could zoom with R2 and call in a strike with R1.

    Airstrike and Zoom both use R2 with buttons switched

    I just snapped a picture of my television screen with my phone to show the issue. The button prompts are clearly displayed on the screen as the same button when I am using the binoculars. On the bottom left, it says "L2 R2 Zoom" and over on the right it says "R2 Call Airstrike."

    Unfortunately, you seem to be running a technical support forum where people can't upload screen shots, so my description will just have to do.

    Hey guys,

    Thanks for the further clarification on this, this makes a lot more sense now

    And no need for a screenshot, I can check this out soon myself but I believe you all. I will definitely pass on this feedback to the developers to look into though, thanks a lot for bringing it to our attention.

    I can confirm the team are now aware, unfortunately there is no workaround at the moment besides swapping back to the standard controller configuration. We'll share any updates on this when available.

    How about use default controls like the game is intended to be played? Its a great DLC why complain?
