DualSense features that actually matter for heist efficiency

Most DualSense wishlists focus on immersion. I'm looking at payout efficiency.

  1. Engine haptics per car. Could work as a damage indicator. If the rumble shifts when a tire's shot or the engine's smoking, that's useful intel without looking at the HUD. Pure immersion rumble is just battery drain.
  2. Adaptive trigger resistance on guns. Only if it's tied to weapon condition. A gritty trigger pull on a dirty, unmaintained rifle would force you to plan loadout maintenance. If it just adds weight to every shot, it'll slow down fire rate and get turned off immediately.
  3. Controller speaker for phone calls. Hard pass. Comms need to be clear. I don't need Lester or Pavel squawking through a tinny speaker while I'm listening for guard footsteps. Keep it on the headset.

What's the one DualSense feature you'd actually bind to a gameplay mechanic, not just atmosphere?

Gyro for fine-tuning headshots during stealth might save ammo and time, though it'd feel off if the deadzone is weird. Has anyone tested if haptics drain the battery enough to matter mid-mission?
