Collective Minds Xbox Strike Pack Horizon M.O.D. Pack – Precision Paddle Controller Mod for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, App-Enhanced Gaming with Anti-Recoil M.O.D.s, and Effortless Control

After using the Strikepack for several months in FPS games like The Finals, Siege and Battlefield, I've noticed a significant improvement in my aiming consistency. The adjustable sensitivity curves and recoil control help compensate when I'm matched against highly skilled players. While some might consider this unfair, it's been the only way for me to stay competitive in skill-based matchmaking.What Works Well:- Noticeably improves shot accuracy in fast-paced firefights- Customizable profiles for different weapons/games- Solid build quality that holds up to intense gaming sessions- Helps balance the playing field against top-tier playersSetup Frustrations:- Requires constant phone connection for adjustments (drains battery)- No automatic game detection - manual profile switching needed- Steep learning curve for optimal configurationReal-World Use:I primarily use it for recoil control in battle royals or strategy based shooters- what used to take 3-4 shots to stabilize now takes 1-2. The mods don't play the game for you, but they do help minimize the skill gap (that’s all, this is not a ZEN). After about 50 hours of use, I've settled on 2-3 reliable settings that work for most military shooters games.Ethical Note:While undeniably effective, this sits in a gray area. I only use it in public casual matches (not ranked) against other players. The advantage diminishes against truly elite players.Wishlist for Improvement:- Standalone operation without phone tethering- Game auto-detection for profile switchingFor casual players tired of getting steamrolled by hyper-competitive opponents, this can restore some enjoyment to online play. Just be prepared for some initial setup headaches and keep your phone charger handy.A Tip for first time users: Create basic profiles for each game type during setup to minimize in-game adjustments.

Here is my honest thoughts about this.Layout: The the Dominator's button location is a little bit of a weird position and kind of hard to use and how you have to press it. For me and my hands at least and I've been told i have large hands. But i highly recommend getting the eliminator instead just for the simple fact that the buttons are in a rather natural hand/finger placements. Easiest way to map the paddles/buttons is to hook it up to your laptop/computer and do it from there. Pretty simple once you get the hang of it. Paddles do feel kind of cheapish but i didn't expect something high grade. But comparing to buying a $200 elite series 2 controller that has its own flaws (Stick drift, Buttons sticking, etc) This is a wonderful cheaper alternative and in my opinion it works just as well. but again i would go with the eliminator and not dominator.Mods: Yes they work and they work as intended. I know a lot of people "Say" they don't use them but lets be honest. But you really need to pay attention how to navigate through it. I've seen where people say they don't work but really its something you have to understand and take time learning how to modify and reading the instructions given to you because it will explain. Its not something you just hook up and go (it can be once you set it up the way you like it.). If the strike pack is NOT turning on like how the instructions state, just unplug/re-plug the power cord from the controller and retry. I have to do this each time at first start up.Over all I love it and have been using it going on a month now and i haven't had no problems with it.UPDATE 5/2/2024: Strike pack is still feeling solid with no complaints.

There are 4 different products you can buy to Mod out your Xbox One or Series X/S controller, which one is right for you?First, there are only 2 products that support the App, the 2 more expensive versions, the horizon mod pack and the Horizon Vista mod pack. The eliminator and dominator do not use an App. You are supposed to be able to simply hold down the mapping button on the Eliminator and Dominator press the button you want to map on the paddle, release both buttons and you’re done. Ive tried the Eliminator and Horizon. Its clear this is a great controller upgrade and significantly cheaper than an Elite 2 controller, however, I couldn’t get the paddles to map on the eliminator and the paddles on the horizon don’t stay mapped. Collective Minds wanted to be the first to launch but there are so many bugs with these products. Don’t get me wrong when it works it’s awesome but I can’t give 5 stars because it doesn’t consistently work.There are two products with paddles and two products with buttons. I prefer the paddles as I have adhered control freak grip to my controller, which definitely prevents sweaty controllers and improves grip! I could be wrong but I don’t think the 2 products with buttons would fit on my controller now that it has a grip in it, but the paddles definitely work.If you’re playing an awesome game like the Halo infinite campaign this can definitely make gaming more fun and allow you to get the edge you need. Especially on legendary.If you have or plan to get grips I would choose one of the two products with paddles. Also, since I couldn’t get the eliminator to map I would suggest the Horizon Mod pack and always keep your phone nearby in case the paddles are no longer mapped and you need to use the App.Black vs White: They say the white ones are the newer version and the black ones are the old version. I don’t know if that’s true or not because the mods don’t work on the Xbox One. Features like rapid fire or aim assist are quickly recognized by the Xbox and will not work. I haven’t tried the mods on a pc game yet but don’t count on it helping with games on consoles!NOTE: You will need to update the firmware on all 4 products via pc or mac. You MUST disconnect the U-shaped USB Adapter from the mod pack and the controller or else your computer won’t be able to recognize the mod pack.Joystick Guards: Also I added a control freak medium guard on my right aiming joystick and it works fantastic. However, I learned the hard way not to put them on the left joystick that controls movement so you only need one guard.Joystick knob height upgrade: I also added height to both of my Xbox controller joysticks for better control and they work beautifully.Hope this helps!
