Advice for Control Settings For A New PC User?

[TheSweetTeaGuy]

Hello! As the title suggests, I am a new PC user and I am struggling with the key bindings for the game. I have sizable hands and my left hand feels cramped from having to press Q for the special, CTRL for crouching, and F to pick up the barrels.


Does anyone have any advice to which keys I should change them too? I am willing to admit it's probably me having to get used to using a keyboard and mouse a as opposed to a controller but still I wonder.

It's a very personal choice to be fair. But if u have a decent mouse, use those extra buttons to free up your keyboard.

Shift crouch

Ctrl special

Q mele

ERF bound to grenades /gadget

Interact /pick up/reload on mouse buttons (if u have enough)

Mouse wheel down set to weapon shot 1 to pull out you gun quick

Mouse wheel up to toggle sprint

What is ERF?

I'm an oldschool PC gamer, so my controls are a bit old fashioned I think, but I've been tearing it up with these controls, and similar ones in most other games, for decades.

Ultimately, your key bindings are going to be personal preference, so whatever feels right to you is right.

I did buy a mouse with extra buttons on it but it feels small when I hold it . I should give it a shot still. Thanks for responding.

I'll tinker with it and see. That is smart doing toggle instead of old especially for Sprint. That sounds like it will help.

By ERF I mean the keys E,R &F as they are closest to the movement keys. Easy to reach.

Generally speaking, I try to reserve my extra mouse buttons for actions in games that still benefit from having character control during use (i.e. doing something where you still want to have movement and strafe control at the same time), since any other keyboard key is going to require you to move a finger from WASD which momentarily compromises movement and control.

Makes sense.
