As Jesse Faden, who is the director of Federal Bureau of Control, you’ll be using all of your abilities to take on the Hiss. Since Control is a third person action game too, you’ll likely want to change shoulder view to get the best look possible at the enemies in your way.

Thankfully, it’s pretty easy to do so and you can just do it on the fly as you play. Below are the inputs for switching shoulder view on each platform.

When you press the right button, the camera will switch to be just behind Jesse’s other shoulder. Some players feel more comfortable using one or another, but it can open up the environment so that you can see certain things or enemies more clearly.

There’s no limit to the number of times that you can do it either. If you’re faced with a few enemies and it’s easier to take them out by switching shoulder view, just press the fight button and you’ll be all set.
