PUBG Mobile is a shooting and multiplayer game with battle royale gameplay in a virtual world. High-ranked players here use a technique called the four-finger claw layout. When a player enters a match, a complete set of different clicks are on the screen and it is all on the player’s creativity to use it because, in PUBG Mobile, a player can customize his controls in settings. Moreover, some players use their thumbs only, and some use more than three or four-finger claw setups. In this article, we will discuss how you can set up a Four-Finger Claw layout in PUBG Mobile.
Why Four-Finger Claw Layout is necessary in competitive mobile games
The players who use thumbs are those, who may have just made an ID because even if a player has played more than 5 matches, he will know the importance of shifting from thumbs to three or four-finger claws set up. Four-finger claw players are generally faster than those within thumb layout because four-finger claw players can open scope, can move, can fire, and can control the recoil at the same time whereas a player who uses only thumbs to play may end up being defeated in front of those who use four claw, as they may move and fire or just open scope and fire and that could result in the slow movement.
The slow movement in these kinds of games that provide so much freedom to everybody to customize controls can result in ‘defeats’ only. Therefore, a new player should sit for an hour or two and spend time customizing the controls’ layout.
To help the player with the thumbs layout, here is a guide and an example layout to customize the controls’ layout.
PUBG Mobile: Four-Finger Claw Layout for Beginners
When a new ID is made then it appears with a default layout that allows a player to play with two fingers smoothly. So, this is a beginner’s control layout.
The default layout has large and bold icons which might become hindrances when in a match. Therefore, a player should keep in mind that the icons should be small and the transparency should be low and even if the icons need to be large then the transparency should be kept low.

The next thing to do is that a player should allot his fingers their tasks like a left thumb for movement of the character, a right thumb to change directions, a left index finger for firing, and a left index finger for scope. A player can interchange both index fingers’ work, according to his conveyance.
Here are some of the key points which players should remember:
- Set firing, scope, and joystick as allotted to all four fingers. A player can smaller the joystick according to his conveyance but should keep the firing and scope keys larger.
- Resize the name palette and map make them small, and also shift them to the extreme ends of both the corners of the phone. Again, resize the peek keys make them a little larger than earlier and place them near the right thumb area because the right thumb is generally more active than the left one.
- Leave the prone, jump, and crouch keys in their place and resize them into larger ones than earlier because, in four-finger claw gameplay, these keys are very important for great gameplay.
- Now, lessen the transparency of prone, jump, crouch, firing, scope, and joysticks by 60-70.
The four-finger claw is a game-changer but players should be aware
The final four-finger claw layout setup is for a beginner and it is advisable that a beginner should not panic and should be practising in the new setup. It might take two or three days to get used to the new layout but it will do wonders in his gameplay.
A player should change all the other keys according to his conveyance but should keep in mind that these keys should be made smaller because they are less used while gameplay if a player feels that the reload key is important then it can be resized and a little larger than earlier as it is also an important key.
