SCUF has further built on its groundbreaking innovation to release the SCUF Vantage 2. It features six customizable inputs (four back paddles, and two side-mounted action – Sax -- buttons). Back functions have become one of the key determining factors in competitive gaming and enable players to get more use out of their hands to match the increasing complexity of today’s most popular games, including battle royale titles. With even better ergonomic grip and upgraded components, a new Customization App and enhanced firmware, the Vantage 2 takes player performance to the next level.
“Like every innovative company, we at Scuf Gaming are tirelessly working toward something greater,” said Duncan Ironmonger, CEO Founder of Scuf Gaming. “The original Vantage was our most feature rich and technologically advanced controller made. The Vantage 2 has been designed to finesse and improve upon our first release. We looked at every component, every feature, and most importantly took feedback from our professional players and customers to advance and refine this controller.”
The Vantage 2 comes equipped with additional newly enhanced features including:
- Improved High-Performance Grip
- Upgraded trigger functions
- PC Customization App for Windows
- Improved button haptics
- Refined tactile textures in the faceplate, trigger, bumper, and Sax buttons
- Enhanced USB connection system
The Vantage 2 delivers the same ergonomic shape and asymmetrical thumbstick configuration as the original. Vantage controllers significantly increase hand use and control with the addition of over 15 customizable functions including:
- Patented Paddle Control System
- Hair Triggers and Adjustable Trigger Stops
- Removable Trigger Extenders
- Quick-access Remapping Switch
- Removable Faceplate
- Removable Vibration Module
- Advanced Audio Control
- Customizable Thumbsticks, D-pads, and more
Expanding beyond functional benefits, the Vantage 2 is also available with a limited-edition Modern Warfare® design. Equipped with unique customization items inspired by military equipment, it is a must-have for any Call of Duty® fan. Featuring an exclusive interchangeable faceplate design inspired by a topographic map, the controller also boasts removable vibration modules with marks to mimic sniper scopes, a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare logo on the Touch Pad and more unique details. Players that purchase the SCUF Vantage 2 Modern Warfare will receive a bonus digital in-game item, a sniper scope charm, for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
“Nine years ago, we invented the SCUF to enable gamers to improve their gameplay on fast-paced shooter games like Call of Duty, so this is a community we are both passionate and very engaged with,” said Ironmonger. “We’ve equipped countless players with the high-performance controllers they need to win. Whether playing at home, in a professional tournament, or elsewhere, SCUF has become the de-facto controller in the competitive community. This limited-edition controller marks another exciting chapter for both Scuf Gaming and the Call of Duty franchise.”
