We’re out of binds on controller for this if you have custom button mappings, so I’m wondering if we could get combos. I’m thinking hold L2 (left bumper) for radial and press dpad, this would essentially give us 4 more binds, you could even add in anything unused in the centre for additional binds, b, triggers, r3 etc. (I’m on Xbox but same for PS I imagine.)
Controller binds suggestion for crouching etc.
I'm hoping we get a massive QoL update for controller in this regard (and also separate Secondary Interact and Weapon Switch binds!).
I made a "shift-modifier" suggestion a long, long time ago - which is essentially what you're saying here, but you set any button as "shift" and can combine it with any button to give additional binds. You lose that "shift" button but gain far more binding options in return.
For example, you could set Up d-pad as your shift and while holding it press any other button on the controller as a unique binding option. Adding multiple shift options would even increase the number of binds further. If, for the sake of argument, you can only have d-pad Left and Right as your shifts, and you only include face buttons (XYAB) and bumpers as combos, you gain a net 10 binding options. This would be huge!
You can, to some degree, do this with the Xbox Accessories app (at least with an Elite and on PC, where I play) but that has the limitation of stopping that button working entirely in game. So if you did set it as a d-pad button, you can't use the d-pad to navigate menus - as it doesn't take note of context. And it has the effect of switching button prompts on screen from controller to keyboard ones. It also doesn't wouldn't work on Console Controller-Only servers as you have to set keyboard binds. Native shift-modifier support would be far more ideal.
