WARDOGS controller support: what do the patches say, and what does Steam list?

Aim Assist: the one controller setting the patch notes name

Season 02 added an Aim Assist strength slider, under Settings > Controller > Advanced. The October 14, 2026 patch notes state the range in one line: “Default is 1; 0 turns Aim Assist off.”

The same post says Aim Assist now works on the Target Dummies in the Firing Range.

What the Season 02 patch fixed on a controller

The October 14, 2026 patch notes list three controller fixes, verbatim:

• “Fixed the vehicle spinning on gamepad after closing the tac map.”
• “Fixed inconsistent ADS on vehicle weapons when using a controller.”
• “Fixed crouching and seat swapping on gamepad in mounted turrets.”

The same patch added one controller bind: “Added 'Cycle Minimap Zoom' to View (Press).”

The DEPLOY screen (Update 0.1.2)

Update 0.1.2, posted September 30, 2026, added one controller line: “Gamepad is now supported on the DEPLOY selection screen.”

Steam Deck: listed as unsupported

Steam lists WARDOGS as Unsupported on Steam Deck, checked November 5, 2026.

What the official record does not say

The Steam store feature list for WARDOGS, as listed on November 5, 2026, carries eight categories: Multi-player, PvP, Online PvP, Steam Achievements, Camera Comfort, Custom Volume Controls, Stereo Sound and Surround Sound. None of them is controller support, and there is no Full controller support or Partial Controller Support entry.

No official post names a supported controller model, and no official post mentions Steam Input.
