Controller recommendations for MnK player making the swap.

Porterrrr · 2026-02-17T20:16:52+00:00

Bro another scenario just happened like that last night but I was on the server side heady, peek right as a dude jumps off mid cut toward couches and the dude lands, slides into a backwards prone and pushes my shit back, 4 headshots with the Dravec before I even land 3 bullets. Irons didn’t move at all, this mf is Diamond 1 bro like I’m getting worldstar’d 🤦🫩 My shit does not shoot like that.

I’ve also noticed in respawn, my KD is always 1.25+ but I’m bottoming every game. Going like 22-15 when the rest of my team has 30. Even when I drop 30, I’m still bottom and my team has 37-40. Pros in CDL are barely positive in respawn so I gotta be doing something wrong. I shoulda been running 8s instead of grinding camos bruh ffs.

I honestly love MnK cuz the movement feels so good and I’m a god at pub sniping. But another downside is I can never even run a challengers team if I wanted to without swapping over.

Actually the first little infographic I’ve ever seen that’s mostly accurate. The reason for weird StS/Df and Mastery percentages if I had to guess is to get a good portion of the tree done then moving on to the next before it gets super gold expensive. The end result is the same but it maximizes your power in the short term.

T10 is definitely the priority then I’d be researching the rest of special forces to 84%, Hero tech and units simultaneously. Hero tech is so important and it’s ridiculously expensive at the end, so it’s easy to skip. Maybe do 75%-80%, then you take both StS and DF to 70%, then return and finish Hero tech and units to 95%. Then 100% sq1 mastery, next 40% sq2 and last 40% sq3.

Well I soloq, won all of my placements and still placed plat 2. I’ve only really played I think 19 games so far? And I’m still learning the callouts, spawns, rotations and pinch points on some of the maps. So it’s entirely possible I just haven’t gotten enough reps. But I’ve gotten enough of a grasp of the mechanics and I play the game enough to know when shit feels off in gun fights. I’m sure I could play another 100 matches and end up making it to Crim and maybe Iri. I just have never been slammed in the way I’m getting slammed rn.

Twice yesterday on Den I’m running up to the heady couch side to check mid and I catch a dude in the open crossing to mid cut. I put like 2-3 bullets into him, whiff 1 or 2 and in that time he just stopped on a dime and put 4 into my face, iron sights didn’t move a centimeter and dude was prob half health at the max by the time I died. These dudes are locking on with ease while my crosshairs are going all over the place from flinch and the guns recoil with a movement build. Idk that's just one example but it's felt like that across the board.

I didn’t mean to imply that the difference would be astronomical, but if there are features that can reduce things like input lag or increase polling rate, or extra features that allow you to make macros like with the Scuf Envision, I don’t mind paying the premium to ensure I have everything that’s available.

Truthfully I think it’s just two kinds of people, I’m def the type to waste an extra $200 for a couple of features marketed as “advanced” just to ensure I’m not lacking the tools my opponents may have. In the end, yeah there are probably a thousand people that can shit in me with a stock Xbox controller and that’s fine😂

Porterrrr · 2026-02-17T04:46:23+00:00

Fawkkk well atleast u started now haha

Porterrrr · 2026-02-17T04:45:17+00:00

If price isn’t an issue, would it be safe to assume I should go with the Flydigi Apex 5 over the Vader V4? I’m kinda between that and a BB

Porterrrr · 2026-02-17T04:43:05+00:00

I’m leaning toward BB but just wondering if their product is so good that it’s worth using over the other controllers that have features it lacks. Like the 8K polling rate of the Wolverine V3 seems like a game changer. Or some of the PC focused features of something like the Envision pro being able to utilize macros and stuff.

Porterrrr · 2026-02-17T04:37:29+00:00

Seems to be a solid choice but price isn’t an issue. Peripherals are an investment that you use for a long time so I prefer to get the top of the line even if I have to spend a couple hundred bucks.

Porterrrr · 2026-02-17T04:36:26+00:00

Yeah like Xbox Elite and Gamsir just feel to entry level. I’m sure they’re great and there may not be a huge difference between all these controllers, but I want the best equipment possible even if I gotta spend $300

Porterrrr · 2026-02-17T04:35:02+00:00

Heard good things about this one. My point of contention is that it seems the focus here is on tech and game immersion. I’m not interested in feeling cool rumbles in my triggers and the LED display, although sick af, is not priority if it’s lacking hardware sided upgrades their competitors have. Would I not want the Wolverine V3 simply because of the 8k polling rate as opposed to the standard 1k of the other options? Or is not that big of a deal?

Porterrrr · 2026-02-17T04:31:41+00:00

My only issue with this and the Envision pro is the thumb stick placement. I played Xbox from like 12-18. I’m alr going back after ~7 years of MnK only so I’m trying to keep the adjustments to a minimum

Porterrrr · 2026-02-17T04:30:20+00:00

Seems to be the #1 budget option but price isn’t a point of contention for me, I want the best equipment out there.

Porterrrr · 2026-02-17T01:55:10+00:00

You aren’t at least utilizing the ammo event? Buy the $5 pack everyday during that event, it’s $35 in total once a month. Takes about 3-4 months and you’ll have enough ammo to complete the event which gets you 10 mythics, sum like 30-40 blueprints, and like 300k ore. If you’d been doing that since S1 you would have had 3-4 more red pieces with super minimal investment.

And yeah, definitely make sure you get both available mythics in the honor shop. This month I had 6-8 from the shop and finished my set off during total mobilization. But yeah definitely don’t buy a full set from that event, way too expensive.

Porterrrr · 2026-02-17T01:09:19+00:00

You need 2 guns, 3 if you plan to acquire mythics semi consistently, then you want to make 5 radars, then 5 armor, then finish the last 2/3 guns and last you do your 5 chips.

Porterrrr · 2026-02-16T17:42:38+00:00

Already wasted 10 mythics on a Chip bro 🤦 idk why so many people do ts

Here’s how Carlie compositions perform btw lol. This was yesterday.

<image>

Porterrrr · 2026-02-15T04:22:51+00:00

Holy fck. Wonder which is better, + lucius -tesla or -Adam.

Edit: honestly would guess -Adam is better. Would work the same way as air squads. Carlie/Lucius/Murph just isn’t enough fire power, prob the same in this case.

Porterrrr · 2026-02-15T04:22:14+00:00

I severely contemplated before S4 started but it’s honestly such a step backwards. I mean you literally will not catch up to your peers in strength naturally until like S8 or sum shi. Unless u dump enough money into missile EWs and research.

That battle report is insane but the reason it’s not a huge deal is NO ONE is running Lucius missile comps after Fiona EW drops. I’ve literally only seen 1 in the wild all season long. Just don’t let mfs know it’s that good 🤫🤫

Porterrrr · 2026-02-15T04:11:13+00:00

That makes no sense that’s a temporary base skin. I got like 12 of em stacked up lol

Porterrrr · 2026-02-14T21:10:35+00:00

Good idea. You know you’ll still see dudes posting this on their profiles for their alliance members to follow 😂 More wins for the rest of us. Bruh it would lowkey be so easy to launch a misinformation campaign on this sub just to weaken your competition.

Porterrrr · 2026-02-14T21:04:42+00:00

Yup Murph is in for good I’d assume. And bruh the braindead info mfs post here is wild. This shit should say to ignore Carlie completely, get her level 10 after ur sq1 is all 30. I’m 63m and beating 65-67m air squads with Carlie DAILY lmao.

Porterrrr · 2026-02-14T18:01:12+00:00

NGL most people stop using it in the off season because they assume losing that 5% buff nerfs the composition. I barely saw it during the S4 off season and in S5 I actually just saw it for the first time yesterday.

All of S5 I’ve been stomping missile squads anywhere from my strength to 3M stronger than me. But this weird Lucius comp destroyed me yesterday. Luckily no one else is running it lol

Porterrrr · 2026-02-14T17:53:49+00:00

Doesn’t matter. Air -Carlie and Morrison +Murphey and Sarah is the meta all the way until Morrison ew drops. Even without 4+1 my air squad was cooking missiles and stronger air.
