Controls/buttons

[Sol]

I didn't know the controls...
So I did the old gamer's try... press all the buttons I could think of to see what they did.
I just wanted to know if these are all the controls (as far as I know, there is no manual/control options).


-WASD to move
-L-Shift for slow-mo/bullet time
-Space for boost/thrust
-Q to zoom in/out
-F to activate flares
-E... I forgot what it did (if it did anything)
-LMB to shoot
-RMB to lock-on/target
-Scroll wheel to select weapon


Can anyone clarify?
Edit: Silly me, there's a tutorial in the campaign I havn't done apparently.
I should totally do that.

E makes you ascend, C makes you descend.

V engages 1st-person mode.

1-6 allows you to select a weapon.

Also, mouse button 3 (usually clicking the scroll wheel/middle mouse button) allows you to melee.

That's pretty much it. The campaign only gives you the utter basics unfortunately.

Thank you

[Xiro]

You're welcome~

I highly recommend using melee whenever possible. It does crazy damage, and can destroy missiles if you time it right (or spam it indiscriminately).

Oh don't have to tell me twice.
I went dual melee in armored core 4A.
IT'S THE BEST FEELING EVER LANDING A HIT!

When flying the viper (and only the viper right now), the x button makes it TRANSFORM INTO A JET.

Oh and btw the q button does zoom in and out, but its actually a a little more complicated than that- it controls the locking mode, and it shifts between 3 settings.

On full, its a strong zoom that also takes full control of your camera, always keeping it on your target, and if you kill your target it will snap to a new one, even if it has to spin you around to do it.

On semi mode its similar but with a weaker zoom.

On Off mode, you can still lock on to targets, but you can still fully control your camera, so you are responsible for keeping yourself pointed vaguely towards your locked target. If you turn too far away the lock will end. And if you kill your target, it will still grab you a new lock automatically, but only if there's someone else right in front of you- it won't spin you around at all to do it.

From how many words I just used this might sound really complicated, but its actually plays pretty smoothly; I think its one of the better lock-on-target systems I have seen in a video game.

Xiro I can tell already you're going to be that one guy who always brings a knife to a gun fight and advocates others to do it lol.That said railguns for the win. I don't know I just feel like its cooler when you're fight M3's or Terminators and you use your Bullet Time to fire your railgun in sync when they are between dodges.

I'm sure you already know but just for reference the only Battle Frame that has melee is Mirai atm. I successfully got my high score of 85,000 without using Mirai meaning I didn't have access to the laser blade and had to make do without it.

the anti missile system is a little bit jerky

I know... you have to be right next to the missiles for it to count.

I figured that much out while playing. I like jumping between Semi and Off.

M-5 Viper has a blade too.

Don't tell my friends ;)

I need to get used to Bullet Time though. It's a great thing I keep forgetting about.

Hello everyone.

Not only missile, you can use your blade to intercept machine gun / cannon / railgun bullet too. But non explosive machine gun bullet (20 mm) will be harder to intercepted because it's not explode, its trajectory course will divert a little bit due to your blade's heat.

[James]

This is good to hear- railguns hurt me the most, I am glad I have another way to defend myself.

I am very excited about your game!

[pawee30948]

Beware of railgun, the projectile speed is very fast that it might reach you faster than your sword slashing speed. Dodging might be easier and safer.

I'd like a better key for melee. Adding in the option to customize your controller/keyboard settings would be nice.

Or move melee to F key, and move flares to G key.
