Alright, let's get you up to speed on how to actually move around and do stuff in Fall Guys. Knowing your buttons is key to not tripping over yourself or missing a crucial grab. Think of this as your cheat sheet for everything you can press!

We'll break down the standard controls, what to do when things get wild with motion controls, and even how to handle those big vehicles.

Default Controls

This is what you'll be using most of the time. Get comfortable with these!

Button	Action
Left Stick	Move your bean around. Simple enough, right?
Right Stick	Aim your camera or look around. Essential for spotting shortcuts or other players trying to push you off.
Left Stick up/down + Right Stick up/down (rapidly)	This is your panic button! Use it to shake off flames, get rid of bullseye tags (in multiplayer), or break free from an electrical charge. Gotta mash those sticks!
Up/down D-Pad	Cycle through your grenades. Choose wisely – some situations call for a well-placed blast!
Right D-Pad	Toggle your flashlight. Handy for those dark, spooky levels, but sometimes it can give away your position.
X Button	Jump! Your most used button, probably. Use it to hop over obstacles, grab ledges, or just generally bounce around.
Circle Button	Throw a grenade. Aim carefully and watch out for your teammates!
Square Button	Reload your weapon. Don't get caught with an empty clip when you need it most.
Triangle Button	Action or Melee Attack. This is your grab button for picking up items or pushing other players, and also your quick punch for a close-quarters surprise.
L1 Button	Alternate Fire. Many weapons have a secondary function, and this is how you access it.
L2 Button (hold)	Crouch. Get low to avoid obstacles or maybe sneak past someone.
R1 Button	Primary Fire. Your main attack button. Let 'em have it!
R2 Button (tap)	Cycle through weapons. Quick taps let you switch between your loadout.
R2 Button (hold) + Left Stick	Weapon Quick Select. If you've got multiple weapons, holding R2 and moving the stick lets you pick one fast. Super useful in a pinch.
R2 Button + Circle Button	Switch Weapon Select Rings. This unlocks after you beat the campaign. It lets you change the order of your weapon rings, which can be handy for organizing your loadout.
R2 Button + X Button	Rearrange Weapon Select Ring. Another post-campaign unlock that lets you physically move weapons around in the selection rings.
L3 Button (hold)	Voice Chat. If you're playing online multiplayer, holding this lets you talk to your teammates through your headset. Coordinate those wins!
R3 Button	Zoom In/Out. Useful for scouting ahead or getting a better look at something.
SELECT Button	View Intel Documents. Check your mission objectives or any important info here.
START Button	Pause. Take a breather, check your options, or just admire your bean.

Motion-Sensitive Controls

Some actions get a little more… physical. If your controller supports it, you might use these.

Input	Action
Up/down D-Pad (rapidly)	Shake off enemy. Sometimes you just gotta wriggle free!
Up/down D-Pad (rapidly)	Shake off flame/bullseye tag/electrical charge. This is the same motion as shaking off an enemy, but used for different environmental hazards or multiplayer tags. It's all about that rapid D-pad action.

Vehicle Controls

When you get your hands on some heavy machinery, like the M-12 Sabretooth, you'll need to know how to operate it.

Vehicle	Button	Action
M-12 Sabretooth	Triangle Button	Enter/exit vehicle. Get in and out like a pro.
M-12 Sabretooth	Left Stick	Accelerate/reverse. Drive it forward or backward.
M-12 Sabretooth	Right Stick	Camera/rotate turret. Control your view or aim that big gun.
M-12 Sabretooth	R1 Button	Fire cannon. Unleash some serious firepower.
M-12 Sabretooth	L1 Button	Fire machine gun. For when you need a more rapid response.
M-12 Sabretooth	Circle Button	Switch to turret. Take direct control of the main weapon.
M-12 Sabretooth (Passenger)	Right Stick	Aim (passenger). If you're riding shotgun, you can still help aim the turret.

That covers pretty much everything you can press! Practice these, and you'll be navigating the Blunderdome like a seasoned pro in no time. Good luck out there!
