Well, I don’t think that you aren’t familiar with these control button schemes as they all are the same as other first-person shooter games except a few. However, as I have noticed, most of the players are getting confused while using the Melee weapons attack because, for PC players, there is a dedicated Melee attack button. In contrast, you do not just have to tap the Melee attack button. Instead, you have to hold the button in order to charge it and then release it to attack someone with the Melee attack.
So, that is for this guide, guys. We hope now you can understand the tweak between the controls and button mapping system in PayDay 2. Now, you know the controls, then why are you here now?
