Looting without turning on mic

[Sklz1 1]

When looting on the new update I am able to move around while collecting the loot which is great. But to select different items is hard while using the joystick and moving away from the loot so I use the side Dpads to scroll and pick certain items. By using the down road to scroll down it is constantly turning on my mic and Letting people around me know that I’m close enough to them and is annoying. Could you maybe make it where you have to be out of inventory to turn it on and off. If it’s turned on before you enter it will stay on but if you don’t want it on while looting you can double click like it is to turn it off

Same issue here. I've been re-learning how to use the new inventory controls. If I'm recalling correctly, I try to switch between my Hands, my Inventory, and the Vicinity using the the L1 and R1 trigger buttons, and I use the L2 and R2 trigger buttons to scroll down through the sub-menus, sometiems using the Up Directional Button to go back if I overshoot, and then I use the Right Analog Stick to search through the various inventory slots. I try to completely avoid using the D-Pad and the Left Analog Stick altogether; this prevents me from moving my character by accident, or accidentally turning on my mic. It's a HUGE pain in the ass, but it's gradually getting easier for me, and I think I might even be able to navigate my inventory FASTER now using the Left Analog Stick than I ever did with the D-Pad...but still...I'd like to have that option again, because muscle memory is a bitch lol. 🤭

right analog stick all the way for me. I just move my left hand over to the right stick and then use my right thumb with x button to select items or to move items around, feels a bit weird at first but you do get used to it pretty quickly and it seems to scroll a lot quicker too.

I’ve got drift on my left analog, so an option to turn off moving while looting would be nice for me. Suppose they would need to add customizable controls first though…

Riiight??? I dunno if the devs intended for that or if it was just a happy accident lol. I've been kicking myself thinking that I could have been doing things faster this whole time and neeeever knew it until the controls got fucked up and forced us to improvise lol. 😅
