    How to change the Grappling Assist HUD in UFC 4

    The UFC Development Team has made a number of changes to UFC 4, one of them being the HUD Grappling. For those who don't know the HUD, or know it but can't remember its exact name, the Grappling Assist HUD is the graphic that will appear in the left or right side of the screen, and will tell you what options are available. to you when your fighter is on the ground or nails the opponent to the ground.



    In UFC 3, the Grappling HUD would display a large number of options available in a certain position, like switching to Full Guard, a mount position, or if you were to hold LT / L2 while the opposition was in a vulnerable location, show any potential bids available.

    In UFC 4, the main Grappling HUD has been redesigned. Rather than showing a number of different options, depending on what position you are in, the new Grappling Assist HUD will only display three potential options: Submit, Rise, or Ground and Pound. Also, the way you select the option you want to use from the Grappling Assist HUD is different from how you use it in UFC 3. Rather than using the right analog stick to toggle the option you want to use, you will know you need to use the left analog stick.

    This new, streamlined HUD may be suitable for beginners, but experienced players who want to be more precise in their movements may want to go back to the old HUD. Fortunately, you can, and for that, go to the Settings tab first. From there, head to the Gameplay sub-tab.


    Once you do this, there are several options available to you. If you want to revert the HUD as it was in UFC 3, change the Grapple Assist setting from Assist (which is the default setting) to Legacy. This will not only allow access to all the options of the old Grappling Assist HUD, but you will also be able to use the right analog stick as opposed to the left stick.

    If you want a cross between the old UFC 3 Grappling HUD and the new one, set the Grapple Assist to Hybrid. This setting uses elements of both HUD styles and you can use the left and right sticks with this assistance.
