Replace Quick Turn With Another Button
In the default setting, quick turn (turning around) is set to R1. Because it is the same as the dash button, if you are not used to it, you may accidentally make a quick turn. If you are familiar with the previous Resident Evil series, set the X button to Quick Turn.
You Can Also Change The Settings For Running Or Crouching
| Type | Action |
| Hold type | Perform an action while holding down the L button. Release when you stop pressing. |
| Trigger type | Once you push the L button, it won't release until you push it again. |
In OPTION, you can also set the buttons for running and crouching settings. Which one is easier to use depends on the player, so find your favorite setting.
