Fast Recon Vehicle only works with WASD

[HardKOR]

Fast Recon Vehicle only works with WASD. I'm one of those ESDF players. Please hotfix when you can thanks z(^_^)-b

[Zipprian]

Yeah same here, doesn't work on ZQSD. Please fix or add a manual binding option for vehicules.

[Jamster]

Wish it was turned via mouse/aim similarly to Halo.

[Combine]

i use arrowkeys, please please please add custom keybinds.

[Andy]

The vehicle also only uses the default melee keybind for the horn, and I think there may be an issue with aiming out the window as a passenger if you've modified your aim-down-sight settings at all. I use right click to toggle ADS, and it causes my Helldiver to pop out the window for half a second then back into their seat.

While we wait for official support, you can manually change the keybindings in the config file.



1) Find the config file on whatever hard-drive Steam is installed to at:
\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\________\553850\remote\input_settings.config
(Note: ________ is whatever your Steam user number is.)

2) MAKE A COPY OF THIS FILE AS A BACKUP. Just copy/paste.
Changing it is low-risk, but better safe than sorry!

3) Open the file using Notepad.
Add the following code below at the end of the config file.
Then, change the keybindings to whatever keys you want to use.

------------------------------------------------------------

Vehicle = {
Accelerate = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "w"
threshold = 0.0
input_type = "Button"
}
]
Brake = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "s"
threshold = 0.0
input_type = "Button"
}
]
TurnLeft = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "a"
threshold = 0.0
input_type = "Button"
}
]
TurnRight = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "d"
threshold = 0.0
input_type = "Button"
}
]
Horn = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "space"
threshold = 0.0
input_type = "Button"
}
]
Handbrake = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "space"
threshold = 0.0
input_type = "Button"
}
]
ShiftUp = [
{
trigger = "Press"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "left shift"
threshold = 0.0
input_type = "Button"
}
]
ShiftDown = [
{
trigger = "Press"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "left ctrl"
threshold = 0.0
input_type = "Button"
}
]
}

------------------------------------------------------------

4) Save the file, launch the game, and try it out.
Steam may ask to overwrite the configuration file in your Cloud save;
select the local version on your harddrive (as long as you created a backup of the original!).



For the concerned: these shenanigans are acknowledged by Arrowhead.

Can confirm, using right click tap to ads makes you unable to aim from the window

FIrst of all, thank you ! Is there a way to rebind "move forward" for the vehicule also ? I tried adding it, but it doesn't work. The added "move backward" seems to work but my "move forward" remain the key "w" instead of "z" :
Vehicle = {
MoveForward = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "z"
threshold = 0.20000000298023224
input_type = "Button"
}
]
MoveBack = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "s"
threshold = 0.20000000298023224
input_type = "Button"
}
]
TurnLeft = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "q"
threshold = 0.20000000298023224
input_type = "Button"
}
]
TurnRight = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "d"
threshold = 0.20000000298023224
input_type = "Button"
}
]
Horn = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "space"
threshold = 0.0
input_type = "Button"
}
]
}

Same here, I use ESDF and I can't rebind the vehicle controls in game so it's just WASD by default
Please add the option soon! Thank you!

MoveBack = [

}

For moving forwards I did "Accelerate" and it seems to work. (Also backwards seems to be "Brake")

Accelerate = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "e"
threshold = 0.20000000298023224
input_type = "Button"
}
]

[- ̗̀ Nythsha ̖́-]

So for anyone wanting to copy
Overall, including moving forwards and backwards, for ESDF you can have this:

Vehicle = {
TurnLeft = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "s"
threshold = 0.20000000298023224
input_type = "Button"
}
]
TurnRight = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "f"
threshold = 0.20000000298023224
input_type = "Button"
}
]
Horn = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "space"
threshold = 0.0
input_type = "Button"
}
]
Brake = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "d"
threshold = 0.20000000298023224
input_type = "Button"
}
]
Accelerate = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "e"
threshold = 0.20000000298023224
input_type = "Button"
}
]
}

[Zipprian]

Flawless ! Thank you all
For AZERTY keyboard users (ZQSD), here's the copy/paste

Vehicle = {
TurnLeft = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "q"
threshold = 0.20000000298023224
input_type = "Button"
}
]
TurnRight = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "d"
threshold = 0.20000000298023224
input_type = "Button"
}
]
Horn = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "space"
threshold = 0.0
input_type = "Button"
}
]
Brake = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "s"
threshold = 0.20000000298023224
input_type = "Button"
}
]
Accelerate = [
{
trigger = "Hold"
device_type = "Keyboard"
input = "z"
threshold = 0.20000000298023224
input_type = "Button"
}
]
}

[Spyyre]

Wonder if it is possible to fix the tap to aim ADS using this method..

EDIT, no it does not. At least I guess idk what the name for aiming from window is...

I Tried:

Vehicle = {
Aim = [
{
trigger = "Tap"
device_type = "Mouse"
input = "MouseButtonRight"
threshold = 0.25
input_type = "Button"
}
]
}

[Acceptableloss]

Left hander here. Can't use the fast recon vehicle with the default WASD keybinds. Arrowhead please fix this.
