The Division Resurgence Controller Support Guide: How to play with a controller

The Division Resurgence is a third-person shooter RPG where your positioning, loadout, and precise aiming matter a lot. As you progress, you have to continuously engage in intense fights against hostile factions across a living, shared open-world version of New York. And if you prefer physical buttons over touch controls, you’ll be happy to know that controller support is available.

In this The Division Resurgence Controller Support Guide, you’ll learn exactly how to connect a controller, understand the full button layout, and customize your settings for maximum efficiency. Whether you’re defending a bomb site or pushing aggressively as an attacker, playing with a controller can dramatically improve your movement, recoil control, and overall responsiveness.

Controller Support for The Division Resurgence and how to play

You can either connect a controller or use MnK to play The Division Resurgence. And, once connected properly, you can use the controller seamlessly during your gameplay. That said, there are a few important things you should know before jumping in. So let’s break it down step by step.

Connect your controller through Bluetooth

Setting up your controller is simple and does not require third-party applications. You can use an Xbox controller or a similar one by connecting it directly to your mobile device through Bluetooth. Here’s how to do it:

• Turn on Bluetooth on your mobile device.
• Put your Xbox controller into pairing mode.
• Select the controller from your device’s Bluetooth menu.
• Confirm the connection.

The best part is that you don’t necessarily turn on additional toggles in the game once the controller is paired successfully. But what you can do is navigate to Generic Settings under Settings and turn on Controller UI. With this, the combat interface is adapted for the controller.

Now, once the connection process is done, you need to understand the controller layout for better gameplay. And below, I’ve shared the Xbox controller layout for The Division Resurgence:
