Looking for a decent simple multiplayer FPS. I was having fun with Black Ops 2 via Plutonium, but got banned due to every Steam Deck having the same HWID :(

Looking for something where I can just pick it up for 30-60 minutes and run around and shoot people. Don’t want a ton of complicated mechanics, p2w, seasons passes, loot boxes or a requirement to dedicate half my life to the game. Does this exist?

    Counter strike works well on the deck.

    Insurgency sandstorm works well on the deck. Needs to be plugged in as it goes through battery fast.

    Battlebit Remastered is the latest that works well. Remap some buttons and it’s great.

    I use gyro aiming on all of these (turns on with using L2 for aiming.)

      Was playing around with CS this morning. Its fun and the sort of thing I’m looking for, but holy hell, I did not realise how much I rely on aim assist. Gonna have to get used to using gyro and play around with sensitivity settings.

        Yeah the deck takes practice to get semi decent in fps. I’ve been trying to research if it’s possible to counter recoil movements in game with the deck controls. Nothing yet but maybe someone will figure a work around.

    Try out Battlebit. It’s pretty much the best shooter you can get at the moment and it only costs 15 bucks. I don’t quite know how it runs on a steam deck, should be running fine though.

    I’d really love something low fidelity, kinda like Battlefield Heroes was. BattleBit seems that way, but their anticheat switcheroo will leave Linux out.

    If you’re not necessarily looking for PvP, Deep Rock Galactic is an awesome 4-player coop shooter.

    CS:GO is free to play and about to get a big update/overhaul into CS2. It’s a valve game so it’s bound to work great on steam deck

      I’ve been considering CSGO but its always kinda intimidated me. Is it suitable for semi-casual play with handheld controls?

        I’d say it depends entirely on your mindset. I’ve been enjoying playing it casually. There’s both a ranked and unranked mode, but even in the ranked mode on lower ranks it’s pretty fun to just mess about. It does require you not to focus on chasing rank

          Thanks, that’s good to know. I don’t mind being low-ranked as long as the matching is alright, I just don’t want to constantly get wrecked by people with 1000+ hours in it.
