Understanding the core controls is paramount. Advanced Warfare introduces the Exo-Suit, which significantly alters movement. Familiarize yourself with the following:
- Left Stick (Movement): Standard forward, backward, strafe.
- Right Stick (Aim/Look): Control your camera and aiming.
- L2/LT (Aim Down Sights): Precision aiming.
- R2/RT (Fire Weapon): Primary attack.
- L1/LB (Exo Ability): Activates your equipped Exo Ability (e.g., Exo Shield, Exo Cloak).
- R1/RB (Lethal Grenade): Throws your equipped lethal grenade.
- Square/X (Reload/Interact): Reload your weapon or interact with objects.
- Circle/B (Crouch/Prone): Changes your stance for cover or stealth. Hold to go prone.
- X/A (Jump/Boost Jump): A single press performs a standard jump. A double press activates a Boost Jump, allowing for higher verticality.
- O/B (Exo Dash/Slide): While moving, press to perform a quick horizontal dash. While sprinting, press to slide.
- Triangle/Y (Switch Weapon): Toggles between your primary and secondary weapons.
- D-Pad Up (Tactical Grenade): Throws your equipped tactical grenade.
- D-Pad Left/Right (Scorestreaks): Cycles through available Scorestreaks.
- D-Pad Down (Melee): Performs a quick melee attack.
Practice these movements in the training simulator to get a feel for the Exo-Suit's agility.
