FrostDragoon 1,043 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I found in my interaction with certain players over the years that they really struggle with basic elements of the game like... movement. It turns out that most of the time it's because they use the (awful) default controls, so I drew up a picture to share mine in the hopes that it might help someone out there. I also want to encourage others to share theirs here so we can learn from each other and pick up helpful little tips and tricks. Enjoy! Link to post Share on other sites
Voltage 58,424 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I have "6" bound to scanner because melee unequips it, F4 is K-Drive, F3 is Archwing charges, Mouse wheel up is Energy pads, and basically everything else is default. Link to post Share on other sites
Kylo. 5,247 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I have numpad used for something, can't remember which key does what. Scroll up is Melee and Scroll Down is weapon firing. Link to post Share on other sites
xXDeadsinxX 8,252 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Some people may call me crazy, but I actually run with the default keybinds. Definitely was a bit difficult to adjust and learn to Parkour 2.0 but it wasn’t too bad. 😁 2 Link to post Share on other sites

o0Despair0o 7,005 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) Here's the problem, I got the QWERTZ layout, so my keyboard's different lol. But really, I mostly use the default controls. Only change I can think of is that I set secondary fire to M5 (one of my 2 extra mouse buttons) because it's more comfortable than pressing M3. Archwing, K-Drive, Scanner, etc. are all bound to the menu on Q for me. EDIT: What kind of madman sets Crouch to Q ?! Edited September 26, 2019 by o0Despair0o Link to post Share on other sites

That's actually the most important change other than moving Interact to E. Trying to use Ctrl + Space is hand-crunchingly arthritic... or will become that way if you do it long enough. Q + Space is very easy and comfortable. Try it out. It's surprisingly fluid. Link to post Share on other sites

I just use C + Space for sliding. And then toggle Crouch so I don't have to hold down C. Anyway... not so much a keybind, more of a mousebind, but I set my Fire weapon to be both Left Mouse Button and Mouse Wheel Down. Left Mouse button for automatics, held, and slow firing semi-autos, Mouse Wheel Down for fast firing autos. Now, if there were a third option for Fire Weapon, I would set that to Mouse Wheel Up for further improvements to firing semi-autos. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
(PSN)Shelneroth 422 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Really hoping ps4 gets custum keyboard binds soon. Biggist change I'll be making is shifting movement over to ESDF. Link to post Share on other sites

This is actually a protip that I've been meaning to incorporate into my binds, but haven't gotten around to. The scroll wheel to shoot semi-auto is especially useful when you have Wisp buff up.

Allows me to keep shooting immediately before starting the weapon swapping animation, rather than having a small pause. Edited September 26, 2019 by Renegade343 Link to post Share on other sites

As for me, keybound gear items to num-pad because QoL. Main change for me is focus is on 'Q' instead of... whatever it normally is. Much much easier to pop in and out as and when I need to. Gear wheel and alt fire are on my thumb buttons. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know, that keybind seems to slow me down a lot when I need to evade quickly. And last time I tried numpad binding, it seemed to have crapped out on me. Just need to find the cause and fix it, and then another remapping again (although binding half the gear wheel to keys 5 to 0 helps if you need emergency energy/health/ammo).
