This page lists the controls for Full Frontal Assault. The game uses a standard DualShock 3 controller and is also available on the PlayStation Vita. It features three playable characters (Ratchet, Clank, and Captain Qwark), all of whom control identically.
The game's control scheme is similar to the default setting in previous titles, allowing you to strafe automatically while moving and holding a ranged weapon. Holding enters a dedicated aim mode for more precise targeting, similar to a traditional third-person shooter. The notable change compared to A Crack in Time is the hoverboots having a different dedicated button.
