If youre using SteamOS (and not Windows) and did it through just Steam it self as a non steam game:
Every game running proton has a Localappdata folder and other important stuff to essentially emulate Windows' file structures a bit.
You can find Plutoniums non steam by looking at the properties of the application on Steam and in the Target folder itll show its location of the bin folder, you can navigate from there to find the mods folder or create it yourself if it doesnt exist.

After sitting a bit thinking of what random thing I can make, I thought of adding some sort of Survival Realism where you spawn in with no gun and will have to find the pistol thats lying around or waste points for a gun.

Nothing too big.

Wanted to make it so you have the ballistic knife but some maps dont have it natively so I decided to just run with empty hands.

Alternate Xbox 360, Playstation 4, and 5 controller support guide

DS4Windows method not working for you? Or you hate it for what ever reason? (welcome to the club). Well welcome to this guide on another way of getting your Xbox 360 or PS4/PS5 controller working without some random exe! This can also work on Linux (tested on Steam Deck)!

Note, not sure if it works on Nintendo's controllers but the method should still be the same, if it is, lmk and I can edit to fit which controllers worked.

This guide is also assuming you are only opening the launcher but if you were to launch each game individually (like launching in LAN mode on Steam Deck), then every time Plutonium.exe is mentioned, then its the Plutonium-bootstrapper.exe)

Requirements:

Steam
Know where your Plutonium.exe is located
Your Xbox 360 (with wireless receiver or wired adapter), DualShock (PS4) or DualSense (PS5) controller

1. Connecting the controller

Make sure your controller is connected, whether its wirelessly or wired. Both methods should work.
Make sure your computer recognizes it as a controller.

2. Check if Steam recognizes it

This is important, make sure Steam recognizes your controller. One way to do it is go in the Settings on your Steam client.

Scroll down to Controller and youll see whats connected.

If youre unsure if its your controller, you can click on Begin Test and test your buttons.

Optionally you can enable PS Controller Support if youre using a Playstation Controller but it will work regardless (I assume this option enables stuff like the trackpad and gyro)

If you're using a Playstation 5 controller and it doesnt detect it, but its recognized as a controller everywhere else, then try updating the controller firmware via Playstation Accessories App
(Thanks to Resxt for this)

3. Add Plutonium.exe as Non Steam

In order for Steam to integrate your Controller into the games, you'll need to add Plutonium.exe as a Non Steam game.

To do this you'll first need to find Add a Game on the bottom left of the Steam Client and click on Add Non Steam Game

After, this dialogue will open up. This will list any potential software's in your system that you can add as a Non Steam game. Here you'll look for Plutonium.exe.

If you can't find it, click on Browse.

File Explorer will open and you must find where your Plutonium.exe is located.
Note yours may be different.
Once you do, click on it once and click Open.

Plutonium will now show up on the list.

Then click the big blue Add Selected Programs.

Plutonium should now appear in your Steam library

3.5 Enabling Steam Input for the launcher

Ensure that Steam Input is enabled for Plutonium.
You'll need to go into the games Properties

In the Controller tab, check on Steam Input and ensure its Enabled.

4. Open the game!

The game is added! Press play and it should open the launcher!
Now note, your controller will not work unless its a game with gamepad support. (Black Ops 2 should have full gamepad support while World at War and Black Ops 1 has very limited)
The controller will not work on the launcher.

To check if your controller is hooked in, press the PS button and it should open the Controller Configuration and should show your controller.

In order for your controller to work you must run Plutonium through steam every time!

Optional: Add a Desktop shortcut

This may involve you to move your Plutonium.exe shortcut to avoid accidentally opening the wrong one.

IF you move your exe, you'll need to relocate where the launcher is.
Right click Plutonium in your library, click on Properties.

In the Target area, click on Browse and find where the new Plutonium.exe is located.

On the Plutonium name on your library, right click, and click on add Desktop Shortcut. This should just add the shortcut on your desktop.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You've avoided DS4Windows!
Steam has improved controller compatibility with non Xbox controllers immensely over the years and luckily today its pretty much fully functional with very minimal issues.

Also in-game, the icons will show as Xbox, you'll have to find the PS icons for each game: (I will update as I find more)
