Key Bindings

[ItsLloydM8]

What custom key binds is everyone using?

I watched some play throughs and I just can't master weapon quick switching without mashing too many wrong keys.

[Morton Koopa Jr.]

I use a g13 so my thumb is doing the movement controls. But I basically have my guns like:

8765
4321
Dash
Chainsaw

Wheel up and wheel down are used to swap mods/nades. M5 and m4 are used for flame and nades.

Here are mine, from another thread.

Movement: default, WASD, Space for Jump, Shift for dash
Glory kill: F (carry over from DOOM 2016, E just felt wrong)

Equipment
Flame Belch: X
Chainsaw: C
Crucible: V (I press it with my thumb, consider using Z, CTRL or ALT if it's too far away or you're not used to it)
Ice Bomb/Grenade: Middle mouse
Swap between Ice Bomb/Grenade: Mouse 5 (you can also use Z, CTRL if you don't have additional mouse buttons)

Weapons:
Plasma Rifle: 1 (consider swapping with Ballista)
Shotgun: 2
Super Shotgun: 3
Heavy Cannon 4:
Swap weapon mod: Q
Chaingun: E
Rocket Launcher: R
Ballista: T (consider swapping with Plasma Rifle)
BFG/Unmaykr: B (again, I can reach it effectively with my thumb but if you're not used to thumb presses again consider using Z, CTRL or ALT)

ALT is for objectives but it's really obvious what to do in this game so you can treat it as an extra key.

I have a naga hex v2 with buttons 1-7 on the side and I have an orbweaver so I bind as follows.....

mouse wheel up - Shotgun

mouse wheel down - super shotgun

4 - heavy cannon

5 - plasma gun

6 - chaingun

7 - bastilla

3 - rocket launcher

2 - BFG

1 - switch grenade

E - chainsaw

R - crucible

mouse wheel click - melee

mouse button 5 - grenade

mouse button 4 - flame belch

F - weapon mod

V - objective

left shift - weapon wheel (I only use it to see all of my ammo)

left alt - dash

space - jump

this works well for me

edit: I don't see how people can play this game on console with a controller. And this is coming from someone who played 2016 with a controller.

Thanks bro.

Yeh I agree, given how much faster the pace of Eternal is compared to 2016, using the weapon just really affects the flow of your combat in a really negative way.

On my keyboard and mouse I have:
super shotgun - Q
chain gun - caps-lock
rocket launcher - TAB
shotgun - T
plasma rifle - Z
BFG - middle mouse button
heavy cannon - side mouse button closest to me
ballista - F
swap weapon mod - mouse wheel up
swap grenade/ice bomb - side mouse furthest from me
view map/arsenal/etc. - left ALT

The rest is the default binding, any function that had the above keys assigned to it, if it wasn’t assigned a different binding as per above (like weapon mod swap), no longer has any keys assigned to it.
