Xbox and PlayStation players access Guts & Blackpowder through the Roblox app with full cross-play against PC and mobile survivors. Controller layouts follow familiar shooter conventions �?sticks for move and camera, triggers for primary actions, bumpers for weapon cycling �?with a few Napoleonic-specific buttons for callouts, charge, and objectives. This guide documents both platform mappings side by side so you can translate callouts when squad mates reference keyboard keys.

Callouts on Controller
Hold L3 to open the callout wheel �?identical to PC's V radial and mobile's callout button. Select slices with the right stick or face buttons depending on settings. Enable "activate on release" if accidental callouts spam voice lines during panicked stick flicks. Regiment-specific audio helps Immersion on historical maps; use callouts to ping Bombers before they detonate in your Seaman shotgun line.
Console Combat Tips
Aim assist helps track Shamblers but headshotting Runners still demands calm right-stick micro-adjustments. Infantry Musket bayonet combos flow well on controller: LT aim, RT fire, Y charge to finish. Officer players flick between RT pistol shots and melee �?ranked A-tier for aggressive console players on the class tier list. Avoid Rifle on controller unless sniping from fixed barricades; slow reload punishes thumb-heavy play.
Open the Shop between Endless waves through Roblox menu layers �?Francs spending priorities are covered in the shop guide. Equip S-tier weapons from the weapon tier list like Heavy Sabre and Blunderbuss when unlocked.
Command Bar and Private Servers
Console players access the command bar via D-pad navigation next to leaderboard options �?useful on private servers for admin commands documented in official wikis. Submit with X on Xbox or Square on PlayStation after typing. This is separate from normal gameplay bindings and mainly affects custom lobbies, not public Objective matchmaking.
Cross-Platform Squad Play
Console tags appear in server browser listings. Join friends on PC by Roblox party invite regardless of hardware. When learning new maps, follow San Sebastian or London walkthroughs while practicing interact on Square/X for boat escapes and valve objectives. Surgeon mains should bind mental muscle memory: RT to heal, LB/RB to swap bandages, L3 to shout for cover.
Mobile teammates use touch buttons described on the mobile controls page. Everyone shares the same core gameplay loop �?only inputs differ.
