Keep equipment actions distinct

Lighting, inventory access and throwing a decoy are different entries in the published controls. Start with the action you actually need rather than pressing the familiar input for another task. This is particularly useful when changing devices because the PC and controller lists do not group every action in the same way.

A flashlight search is more useful when you know which clue information you want to bring back. Inventory access is more useful when you remember the objective you intend to resume afterward. The articles explain those distinctions without turning a control reference into an invented item-acquisition route or a claim about hidden equipment effects.
