How to play Valorant using a Controller/Gamepad?

Controller too goes bang bang!

Riot Games does not natively support the usage of controller/gamepad in Valorant. Still, many console players have been using their controllers for experiencing the game on PC through third-party controller emulators like REWASD. To do this, you will need to install such software and override your default Valorant keyboard bindings using it.
