Best Keybinds?

[AshOwly]

I am curious to know what people use for their keybinds? I struggle to find a comfortable play style, so instead I use controller. Currently if I do use Keyboard and mouse, I use left shift as crouch, Q as grenades, scroll wheel up for sprint, thump mouse button 1 as melee and thump mouse button 2 for second ability. My super is scroll wheel pressed in, and I do not know how people can use C or V as keybind, it is so uncomfortable to use!

"best" is going to be a highly subjective concept.

But what you might want to consider is using a gaming keypad of some sort. Those tend to have more useful groupings of keys for games that use a lot of bindings.

Razer Nostromo for example.

As said, "best" is whatever is comfortable for you.
Got mine all on default. I rarely change my keybindings for any game. At most the crouch and sprint, so they are CTRL and shift respectively. I do have my extra mouse keys mapped to copy some keys, so I can use both my keyboard and mouse to activate them. See image: https://imgur.com/a/bPw4xPO

whatever feels right to you.
just a little bit which helped me tremendously:
mouse wheel up: switch to kinetic weapon
mouse wheel down: switch to energy weapon
another mouse button: switch to power weapon

that way you can explicitly switch to the weapon you want instead of scrolling through, while your left hand can stay busy with movement

i'm right handed and i generally tend to prefer some functions on the mouse, like reload, melee and grenades.
for the rest pretty much default. many mouse buttons help :-)

Defaults are just fine for me and I've actually changed other games to match it most of the time because it's ssome and efficient.

C melee
Q grenade
V class ability
G finisher
F super
R reload
1 kinetic
2 energy
3 heavy
Control crouch
Shift sprint
Middle mouse click for powered melee

The original Call of Duty used C to crouch, since ctrl was for prone, and I have refused to use any other button since. Which is to say, there is no such thing as "best keybinds", like with sensitivity, that is something solely up to you and what you find comfortable. Just experiment until it works.

I use middle click for melee
mouse wheel sidescroll left for finisher
R reload
Shift sprint
mouse wheel up and down for weapon switch
mouse side buttons for grenade and class ability
F for super.
Ctrl for crouch

I basically use the mouse for as many reflex actions as possible as I hate to use more than the bare minimum keyboard keys for gaming.
