| Action | Button |
|---|---|
| Move | Left Analog Stick |
| Camera / Aim | Right Analog Stick |

Quick Reload Tip: Remember that quick reload on X (Xbox) or Square (PS)? That's HUGE. When you see the prompt, watch that rhythm indicator and press the button right on the golden beat marker. Nail it, and you'll be back in the fight way faster. Mess it up, and you're stuck with a longer, vulnerable reload animation. Definitely worth practicing!
Executions: Don't forget about executions! When an enemy is staggered, aim at them and hit Y (Xbox) or Triangle (PS). It's a great way to finish off a tough foe and get a chunk of health back. Plus, you can do it from a decent distance, which is super handy.
Mastering these layouts is your first step to truly grooving with Metal: Hellsinger. Now go out there and make some noise!
