M/Kb or controller?

[The Gunslinger]

Which is better for pc?

[Ezra]

Luckily it's a single player open world story driven game so it's whatever floats your boat. I switch between my Razer Death Adder V3 Pro + Custom Keyboard with Gateron Oil King switches to Custom Scuff controllers. It's nice to have haptic support and rumble in games sometimes. Also depends on where you are playing the game at a desk or on the couch or in bed wherever. It's even solid on the SteamDeck after some settings adjustments.

use the one you prefer the most

Wouldn't recommend controller if you're playing with mods

[Joe Pro]

I'm on a computer, I feel it's only natural to use a mouse and keyboard. However "best" is very subjective as it all comes down to what you actually prefer. Do what you're comfortable with and makes you happy.

I am strictly mouse and keyboard, but then I've never really used a controller (Had a PS2 briefly back when they were new...hated using the controller). But it's a matter of what works best for you.

[AmnVoss]

I personally use a controller in all shooters as having a trigger just feels right to me. That said both work great, but if you use a controller I highly recommend going on google for settings that will feel right as the base settings are.....decent....

can you easily switch between controller for driving and mouse+keyboard for everything else? i'm about to play for the first time when 2.0 drops and i'm hoping this is possible. driving with mouse+keys just wouldn't feel right at all...

[★REM★]

if you go melee, smart guns or shotgun the controller is much better in my opinion. If you go for an "aim" build like critical headshot, controller can be a bit more difficult than m/k.

Either way, remember to disable the vertical/horizontal delay in advanced controller options, the setting make no sense and if you zero both parameters the controller is much more responsive.

mouse and keyboard for general play, controller for driving.

Yeah, this. I can't hit the broadside of a barn with a gamepad so I need a mouse when shooting but driving is way better with a gamepad. Thankfully this is one of those games that freely lets you switch on the go.

You can and it's typically suggested to do so as vehicles in this game handle a bit wonky, especially when trying to drive on KB.

I just turn down driving sensitivity and driving with a keyboard is fine. I have never played a 1st or 3rd person shooter game with a controller, only sports games.

I'm thinking of going with PS5 controller using the gyro for guns. For k/b i'd have to use ADS toggle which they refuse to implement to save face. So this may be the best option for me.

[Razzaro]

I use both. Controller for walks and rides. Keyboard and mouse for shooting.

Most of the controlls are basically FPS-like, and if you don't use kb+m for that even though you can, I'd have to question your sanity.

Driving is another topic. Driving with binary controlls (in general) is a bit... difficulty, at least if you want to have a minimum of driving physics in the game.
I tried to do that with a controler, but the switching back and forth anoyed me.
Ultimately I got myself an analog keyboard, this way I can at least control how much power I want, which is pretty helpfull if you drive a 1000hp rwd car.
