10 Games that work better with Click Triggers and Back Buttons [for Xbox, PlayStation or PC controller players]
Some games are just more intensive with button inputs than others. Here are the top 10 games that are best played with some extra back buttons or click triggers or both!
Apex Legends requires a combination of quick reflexes, precise movement and simultaneous use of buttons to perform complex actions. This is one of the most popular games in the world right now, and the battle royale genre is only going to expand from here.
The vast range of different characters, abilities and weapons makes back buttons an essential to playing with this game fluidly. With a relatively slow time-to-kill compared to the healing element of this game, click triggers can also make a huge difference in winning or losing gun fights.
Fortnite is a household name at this point and needs no introduction. This BR game relies less on your ability to shoot and more on your ability to build.
The build function is unique to Fortnite and takes repetitive button usage while maintaining movement, a perfect candidate for back buttons. The third person shooter can also take advantage of click triggers for faster response times when aiming and shooting.
R6, one of the more tactically inclined FPS games out there, and also merciless with the time-to-kill. Click triggers will save you more times than you’d care to imagine with faster response times and rapid fire click sensitivity. Strategy requires peaking actions that can only be achieved while pressing multiple buttons at once, making it a lot easier to execute with back buttons.
COD: Warzone is another FPS game where multiple actions and fast reflexes are needed. The high tempo gun fights have the lowest time-to-kill of all of the shooter and battle royal games, so having click triggers is a huge benefit. Warzone is the only battle royale where cross platform is enabled with PC players, so matching them with click triggers levels out the playing field a bit too.
A relatively small FPS game that is slowly becoming more mainstream with a dedicated team under 1047 Studios. The FPS game feels standard in terms of features besides one very unique movement mechanic - portals. Teleport yourself anywhere by creating an entry and exit portal on blue walls littered around the map.
Playing this game became a lot more intuitive with access to back buttons to open portals, as you need to remember the 2 types of portals made by shooting 2 different buttons. This is the bread and butter of Split Gate, regardless of what game mode you play, so making the portals easier to use is a huge advantage. Plus the click triggers will help you aim and shoot faster!
PUBG - known as the godfather of the battle royale genre, and still going strong with a dedicated player base. This BR game has a slower pace but when the action does happen, you need to be able to perform a variety of actions on the fly while maintaining position over your enemy. The mechanics of PUBG are a little slower and realistic so it is crucial to execute actions at the exact right time or it could be fatal.
Luckily, this game came out just in time to make it into the article! This battle royale is a hand to hand combat brawler and requires decisive action to eliminate opponents.
Damage is dealt by attacking with quick and slower (but more powerful) moves. This is a lot harder to do in a 3D environment with players also evading you every move. Back buttons can assist with keeping your targets locked in while dealing blows. Click triggers also serve a very useful purpose, as dashing and shield blocks become quicker and easier to spam.
Multiversus is the Warner Brothers’ multiverse of combined properties brought together in a cartoon animated old school fighting game.
The gameplay is super fun and challenging, with the aim to knock your opponent(s) off the arena, and like any fighting game dealing combinations of strikes and moves is the way to go. Muliversus brings lightning fast movement mechanics allowing for evasive maneuvers and bold strikes, if you are able to keep up with the pace of play that is.
Fall Guys is the silly knockout obstacle race game that no one can deny having a good time playing. Intrinsically simple and easy to play, but devastatingly hard to master. The mayhem and chaos is so abundant that having back buttons for the simple reason of jumping while moving direction will in fact go a long way in this game.
An unusual find on this list because of the racing nature of the game, but hear me out. After playing TGR for some time, you will find it impossible for your thumbs to leave the sticks as the car constantly needs to be directed. Hitting the ball is very unforgiving, the smallest missed angle will send it sideways. While driving, you will also need to perform jumps, boost (a lot), and activate rockets and shields, so the back buttons are very useful to have in this game.
Click triggers do not affect the acceleration input unlike realistic driving games that need pressure triggers, so playing with them is not an issue and is less strenuous than holding down traditional triggers for long periods.
