Controls for Code Vein are the input methods for the player to interact with the game. Since Code Vein is available on consoles and PC, there's the possibility to use Keyboard and Mouse, however it's advisable for players to consider a gamepad as the game was development with such in mind.
Players can customize their controller scheme by using the in-game settings.

AnonymousDefault control set up for PS4 (and probably Xbox) are ass. Here's what I'd recommend: - You want to be able to be able to move your character and camera around as often as possible. Meaning, it goes against your best interest to have to take your right thumb off the RS when you're attacking. The following four can be interchanged, do whatever feels best for you. But these are essentially your most important actions and should be accessible at any time no matter where your thumbs are. L1 = Dash/Combo LT = Gift Menu R1 = Weak Attack R2 = Strong Attack Up and Down are interchangeable. Do whatever feels best: Up = Switch Weapon Down = Use Item Left/Right = Swap Items The following four are interchangeable. Do whatever feels best for you: <| = Block (this was my least used button of this group, which is also furthest from your right thumb when it's on the stick) [ ] = Parry (get good with this like you did for Bloodbourne) O = Dodge X = Drain Attack Then finally: LS = Move Character L3 = Gesture Menu (your least important action) RS = Move Camera R3 = Lock Camera/Enemy

I managed to make a sort of jump attack with the Iceblood, like with the RB + X with the machete. It was from the ground, not from the air, and it was not with a gift. I did it twice, so unless I'm crazy, does anyone know how to do it ? Is this intended ? Or do you think it's a glitch ?
