The majority of moves in the games, such as various moves into and out of cover, evading, climbing over obstacles, and running are performed with this button.Melees are usually quick and fairly powerful, taking anywhere from 2 to 3 strikes to down an opponent. The main functions provided by the controller don’t differ to that of the last year’s Elite, however you can’t take away that those functions alone are certainly rather impressive. Two pre-sets can be assigned to the button, however more can be saved via the app and assigned whenever you feel like it.

Cliff Bleszinski, who created and designed the Gears of War series at Epic Games before departing the company, has said the franchise--which is now owned by Microsoft--needs "a little bit of a reboot. When switched on, this option locks each the respective left and/or right trigger, making the button more responsive, or at least it’s supposed to.

The B button is also used in chainsaw duels, where whoever presses the button the most wins the duel.
