QoL improvements for PC: please allow 100% keybind remapping
EDIT: Okay, I'm smooth brained as well as unable to read menus properly.

Apparently you CAN rebind buttons such as the "aim" button, but you must re-bind the Zoom/heavy stance key (which is by default, bound to the mouse scroll wheel button)

Thank you to the posters below that corrected my stupidity.


While the default controls are not horrible, the game definitely appears to have been designed with controllers/game pads in mind first, and Keyboard and mouse as an afterthought.

Being unable to change which button you click to aim and select alternate fire modes is a travesty.

Not a game breaking issue, since I just use an Xbox controller, but for those that don't have one or don't want to use one, having the ability to rebind our buttons would be a nice step in the right direction overall IMO.

I wish they could add dedicated walk button. not jogging not running, just walk

I must be really dented because I didn't see the option to change the aiming button other than to change it from toggle or holding the scroll wheel button down.

Did I miss a menu or something?

There's different controller button layouts, but I didn’t see that all buttons for the KB/M could be reminding.

Yeah you need to remap the one called 'heavy stance'. Not sure why they called it that instead of 'aiming', but oh well.

ughhh this is going to annoy me a lot I think. There's no excuse NOT to have full remapping.

You can change the keybinds for all of that though?

Complete remapping for controller would be nice too. "designed for controller" by someone who hasn't played any sort of shooter in the decade since the first game was released. I keep activating my ability when trying to switch weapons because the Y key is stupidly mapped and no layout changes it properly.
