Version 6.7

Axl Control System Rework (New Angle-Based System)

This update now adds a new aim mode you can play Axl with, called "Angular", increasing the number of Axl aim modes to 3. In this aim mode, you press UP to move your gun angle up, and DOWN to move your gun down. (These are rebindable.) Angular aim mode allows you to aim your guns at any angle, even on keyboard. You can press the aim reset button (default SPACE) to reset the aim to pointing straight forward. You'll need to use a new binding for crouching, "Axl Crouch" (default SHIFT on keyboard) if DOWN is being used for aiming angle down.

This update also makes "Directional" Axl the new default for all players. You'll need to change it to the other two modes (Angular, Cursor) in the Settings menu "Axl Aim Mode" setting, if you were using those modes before the update.

See more info on the 3 aim modes in the Axl character guide (in the Controls section): Character Guide

This update will also let you change settings in a match, so you'll be able to switch between these aim modes on the fly, reacting to the flow of the match. Try to change up the aim mode depending on the situation. For example, if there are a lot of troublesome Viles, consider switching to Cursor mode to snipe them out of their Ride Armors. Or if there are a lot of fast X players dashing around and hard to hit, consider switching to angular or 8 way aim. You have a plethora of methods and tools to control Axl with. It's your Axl, you decide how to play him! Want to play him like MMX8 or Bass? Use directional aim and set aim lock to shoot. Want to play him like X's aiming laser in MMX4? Use angular aim. Want to play him like a third person shooter? Use cursor aim.
