For those X-box players who are new to the game, did you know that you have the option to remap the buttons of your controller?
The standard xbox controller has three four buttons which are not used by default: up d-pad, left d-pad, right d-pad, and R1. This means you can add whatever you want to those buttons without losing existing functionality.
If you assign something that has multiple options (such as food), then you'll cycle through whatever you currently have in your inventory with each press. This can be either a minor convenience, or come in clutch during a crisis.
As an example of what you can do, here's my current setup:
R1 = Food. This allows me quick access to my food if I need to heal while fighting. I can also easily choose which food I want - no more eating 2 bananas just to get to the mangos.
Right d-pad = Cannonballs. While you can choose which ammunition to use by bringing up the radial while using a cannon, this shortcut gives me the ability to choose my preferred cannonball while I'm running towards the cannon. It also gives me quick access to throwables.
Up d-pad = Spyglass. If I see something suspicious, I can quickly inspect it with a spyglass.
Left d-pad = Instrument. Here is where I get self-indulgent. Yes, it would be more optimal to assign planks or buckets here, but I dislike having to navigate to the second radial menu to select an instrument.
What about your set-up? What advantageous does it provide you?
