📋 About This Mod

Switches Parry and Counter (left trigger) with Quick Access Menu (left shoulder) for Gamepad on the PC.

Using the left trigger for parry and block is way too clunky. I'd start pulling it when I notice the enemy attacking, but too often by the time it was fully pressed it was too late. This is a small modification that switches the parry/counter button (left trigger) with quick access menu button (left shoulder) for a more responsive parry/counter experience. This allows you to time parries and counters more effectively.

Notes: 1. This will not switch the left trigger and left shoulder for anything else in the game.  2. The controller scheme under options will still read default controls. 3. This is for the xBox Gamepad on the PC version of the game.

Installation: 1. save input file to ... Documents/My Documents/The Witcher 3 2. replace original file

If you want to use this change with other gamepad remapping, to make the change yourself:

1. Open ... Documents/My Documents/The Witcher 3 input.settings and control+f to find "combat" then scroll down until you see: IK_Pad_LeftTrigger=(Action=Alternate) IK_Pad_LeftTrigger=(Action=LockAndGuard)

2. change it to:  IK_Pad_LeftShoulder=(Action=Alternate) IK_Pad_LeftShoulder=(Action=LockAndGuard)

3. Then scroll down until you see: IK_Pad_LeftShoulder=(Action=RadialMenu)

4. change it to: IK_Pad_LeftTrigger=(Action=RadialMenu)
