Just started playing and I’m finding the radial menu system to use items a real chore.
When you’re running and need to change items you have to stop, hold R1, point to the item (hope you get it right) and then continue. It’s also more than a little unwieldy to load and unload items from the menu.
Prior to this I’ve been playing Ark and it’s hot-bar system (10 slots) is super easy to use on the run. I see on some of the videos that PC has a hot-bar so I’d love to see something along those lines implemented for console
No you don’t need to stop. Use your right joystick to select the item in the wheel then press X and you’re done. The same right stick you use to see what’s behind chasing you when running without stopping.
With a gamepad a wheel is a lot faster than an hotbar. That’s why it’s pretty standard on PS4 games while hotbars are rare.
