PS4 controls and buttons in Far Cry New Dawn

Published , by Bill Lavoy

Most console games with shooting mechanics tend to have some similar controls and button layouts, but it’s not uncommon for there to be small differences here and there. We almost all know where to find the buttons for aiming down sight and shooting, but it can get squirrely after that. Below is a complete list of the button configurations, layout, and controls for Far Cry New Dawn on the PS4.

The controls listed above are for players on foot, while driving, and in helicopters, which is probably clear once you begin to read them. If you’ve landed here inadvertently, we also have guides for the Xbox One controls and the PC Keybindings for Far Cry New Dawn.

It’s also worth noting that the above controls can change up slightly based on unlocking in-game abilities. Take the Crouch/Slide option using Circle, for example. Ghost can also be tied to this button in certain circumstances, but we’ve outlined its default uses above.


Now that you have a complete understanding of the PS4 controls and button layout for Far Cry New Dawn, look at the Far Cry New Dawn guides and walkthrough page that we’ve been working on. We’ve been busy pouring over every inch of the game so you won’t get tripped up on your travels.
