How to change between first and third person on PC

[Rabidnid]

I've been playing for a couple days and cannot find anything anywhere on how to switch between the two.

[lucg]

"V" key

[Mooman]

Middle mouse button (scroll wheel) also.

Thanks guys, I have it working now.

Also while holding the v key and moving your mouse outward you can scroll out far from your character

Middle mouse button but needs to be a quick click, very picky

On PC the default key is V like Lucg already said.

How to change V key to another ? I cannot see this option.

Don't think you can change that one. I use a game pad (not controller) and it's G19. Sorry I'm a small mole with 4 legs and no thumbs, and it's hard to run all over a big keyboard.

For me it was "Mouse Button 4" as Default.
You can change it in:
Settings -> Controls -> Toggle POV/Workshop

Some people use 3rd person due to motion sickness. For this game it's also a way to exploit some glitches.

1st and 3rd use different animations and can result in things like faster reloading, higher fire rate, sprinting with auto melee etc. Some have been patched.

Using VATS with a melee weapon in first person can make things hard to see, as it focuses you camera at their waist. Third person makes it easier to see what is going on around you.

Just bought this game and I'm on Steam Deck and can't figure out how to switch the camera. I tried the mouse click (Bluetooth mouse) didn't work, and I pressed V on the virtual Keyboard and that also didn't work. I get motion sickness and really need to figure this out.
