Controls

Alright, let's talk about how you'll be moving and shooting in Perfect Dark 2000. It's pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it. Here’s a quick rundown of the buttons:

  • Control Stick: This is for moving around, up, down, left, and right. If you're in a vehicle, it's how you steer.
  • C-Stick: Use this to aim your shots.
  • D-Pad: This is where you'll select your weapons.
  • R Button: This is your main 'Fire Weapon' button. Simple enough!
  • L Button: This is for the 'Alt-Fire' function of your weapons. It's super handy for using secondary functions without having to switch weapons manually.
  • Z Button: Now, this one is important! The Z Button is primarily used to Crouch. You'll be using this a lot to take cover or get a lower profile.
  • A Button: This is your 'Jump' button. If you're in a vehicle, it acts as the Gas Pedal.
  • B Button: In a vehicle, this is your Brake.
  • Control Stick + B Button: Combine these to Strafe Left, Strafe Right, Strafe Forward Left, and Strafe Forward Right. Essential for dodging incoming fire!
  • X Button: This button is for a few things: Reloading your weapon, Interacting with objects in the environment, and getting into or out of vehicles.
  • Y Button: Use this to pick up weapons you find lying around.
  • Z Button + D-Pad: Holding down the Z Button and using the D-Pad lets you Cycle Equip/Tools in Story Mode, or Select Equip in Multiplayer.
  • Z Button + B Button: Pressing these together will Activate Equip.

So, while the R Button is for firing, the Z Button is your best friend for staying low and managing your gear. Get comfortable with these, and you'll be ready to take on any mission!
