Unfortunately, BattleBit Remastered does not currently have official controller support.

How to set up controller support in BattleBit Remastered

As explained in this Twitter thread by the official BattleBit account, the first step to setting up your controller to play BattleBit Remastered is to configure your controller in Steam.

1. After plugging in your controller, find the ‘Controller’ option in Steam settings, and select the appropriate controller option.
2. From there, you can open a filled-out controller layout in Steam by following this link in your browser. The link can be found here: steam://controllerconfig/671860/2989910468
3. After applying this layout, you should be ready to start getting into the action of BattleBit with your controller.

Adjusting the settings in the game itself is also advised for optimal controller support. Enable ‘Toggle Lane’, ‘Toggle Aim’, and ‘Toggle Sprint’ in the game’s ‘Controls’ section for an easier controller experience. You could go ahead and further tweak these settings in the Keybindings menu to suit personal preferences.
