Quick tip on performing actions

[Thecomrade9]

To perform your character action (Salute, Jerk, The Bird, etc.) without going through the select menu and clicking, just hit both thumbsticks on the controller at the same time. It will perform the action quicker and easier than opening the select menu.

Did you not read that little notification thingy after the intro/tutorial about quick actions?

This is months old.

Ya everyone knows.

 

Also I hate the select menu... I wouldn't hate it so much if they just keep the camera fixed... I don't need to zoom in like ever

Dock is the best action by the way

Months old? This is as old as when online came out. Nobodies denying that. Many don't know this, and/or forgot it. I would assume.

Well, it seems I learned something today. I saw something about the 'Quick Action-button' a few times but I had no idea how I had to do it.

Well, you can also hold both the sticks down to continuously do the action, or click both sticks and then quickly switch to the A button/X button and you can hold just that down instead.

Would be the actual, better, tip.

 

Now go out there and smoke and drink yourself to death kids!

Welcome to 2014 sir .. how was that cosy rock ?

Since were talking about the quick action... does anyone know a quick way to CANCEL an action once you've already began the animation??

 

Its partially the fault of my cheap controller and partially my fault for having jerky reflexes sometimes,

but I don't know how many times I've been startled and jumped, and clicked R3 and L3 together by accident, and then been forced to watch my character give the finger or salute to my sudden attacker as he rips me apart with a machine gun.

This happens to me all the time as well, along with accidentally entering stealth mode when trying to run. They are way too sensitive. f*cking annoying! I'm a pc gamer. So much better control.
