Brilliant Apex Legends idea makes Survival items easier to access on controller

An Apex Legends fan has come up with a brilliant idea that would make Survival Items much easier to access for controller players.

There are plenty of items to choose from in Apex Legends. There are of course the usual damage-dealers such as weapons and grenades that help you take down your enemies. But, there are also healing and utility items such as Med Kits and Cell Shields that make sure to keep you alive.

Additionally, there are items that don’t fall under those two categories, but instead do much more.

Survival items, with their unique uses, can be the difference of life and death, that’s why controller players are wanting easier access to them. And thanks to one particular fan, there might be a way to do it.

Apex Legends fan comes up with a brilliant idea for survival item access

Due to survival items being a relatively new addition to Apex Legends, controller players have been stuck with the issue of having to choose a keybind for it. This is because the button that players use to activate the item, the left d-pad, is also the same button that is used to inspect their weapon. This makes it so the players have to choose between the two.
