If you straighten your index finger then yes, if you hold it close, you make a fist

Those big white arrows mean that you moved between "cells" on the map. Initially I wanted to display coordinates as well which would make it clearer but they didn't look good. They are just an information.

Device to exchange weapon is indicated by two arrows (blue and red). Upgrade machine looks like three yellow "i"s. The map is never explained at the moment but will be.

ok I figured out the fist thing. I guess just my natural response when going to hit someone is to squeeze the controller pressing the trigger all the way down which arms the guns. For myself I'd make it so that the guns are only deployed if the grip buttons are still held when the trigger is released. So squeeze everything: fist. Hold grip & release trigger: arm guns. Release everything open hand.

Also I ran into a minor bug where I was in the bottom of a U-shaped corridor under some heavy attack. I put my back to the wall and was just firing at the bots coming through both doors. I cleared them out and waited a second to see if any more would come when suddenly an enemy spawned behind my back! It was exciting, but a bit immersion breaking to have it come from nowhere.

Thanks for the help and explanations!

It actually shouldn't happen, spawning behind back as right when an enemy is to be placed, the game checks if the room is visible or not. I will be modifying spawning again as I want to have more directed experience. Currently it is a bit wave based but really random.

As for fists, pressing grip and putting thumb on the controller should be enough to make a fist.

I want to avoid situations in which same controls do different things. And have it as simple as it is. Holding grip is also used to grab objects and makes the whole thing context dependent. It is impossible to avoid such situations but having as little as possible should help. Although I wonder if grip only deploy/holster could work better with fast reload EXM. Worth trying out.
