Y - Swap Weapons
Left Analog Click - Crouch
Right Analog Click - Zoom View
Right Trigger - Use Right Weapon

Right Bumper - Action/Reload Right Weapon

↑ D-Pad - Flashlight/Team Chat
This is the most common control scheme despite many flaws (see below) that often become apparent to more experienced players. This is the control scheme that Bungie starts you with, but it is suggested that one quickly learns to either use the claw grip, bumper jumper, walkie talkie, or possibly even green thumb, all of which are more often used by experienced players.
Please note that it is not possible to aim while meleeing, jumping, and deploying equipment without use of the "claw grip."
| “ | This setting is similar to the default except the left and right controls are flipped.[4] | ” |
A - Jump
B - Melee Attack
X - Use Equipment
Y - Swap Weapons
Left Analog Click - Crouch
Right Analog Click - Zoom View
Right Trigger - Use Left Weapon
Left Trigger - Use Right Weapon
Right Bumper - Action/Reload Right Weapon
Left Bumper - Reload/Swap Left Weapon/Select Grenade Type
↑ D-Pad - Flashlight/Team Chat
This is the same as default except that the triggers are switched.
Please note that if you compare new players using all button layouts this is the most accurate. Because unlike all of the other layouts offered in the game this is the only one that you are not required to use the same hand to shoot and aim with. Therefore, having more reaction time and accuracy.
| “ | If you're tired of hitting the wrong button in the heat of a melee fight, this setting is for you. Instead, you will pull the left trigger to melee attack.[5] | ” |
A - Jump
B - Throw Grenade
X - Use Equipment
Y - Swap Weapons
Left Analog Click - Crouch
Right Analog Click - Zoom View
Right Trigger - Use Right Weapon
Left Trigger - Melee/Use Left Weapon
Right Bumper - Action/Reload Right Weapon
Left Bumper - Reload/Swap Left Weapon/Select Grenade Type
↑ D-Pad - Flashlight/Team Chat
This has the advantage of giving the user aim while meleeing, but has the disadvantage of not allowing you to aim while throwing grenades.
Please note that it is not possible to aim while throwing grenades, jumping, and deploying equipment without use of the "claw grip."
