Just Cause 2 Controls & MP Commands

[Suzuki Hiakura]

been looking and dont know if i missed something, but how do you dive? was beginning to think you couldn't before i fell off a bridge and landed in water, dove down and had an oxygen percent. swam to other side and started looking at controls, since i could use that to get away sometimes... and found nothing in keybinds, also didn't see it in your list and dont hardly see any mention of underwater or diving in the discussions and such

[Rizilliant]

The controls are why i cant play the game.. Tried on playstation, and again on pc... I dont understand how any developer thought that was a good idea!

[ResoluteSpider5]

Telluric: holding down Mouse 2 / Left trigger

[Fish Salad]

how do you detonate triggered explosives?

[Cole]

where to find the "[F8] – command shortcuts (nerd3 server)." script?

[Krinker]

Thanks!

[ResoluteSpider5]

@TENGO UP ☝ : by holding down Mouse 2 / Left trigger?

[Krinker]

ive been playing forever on xbox mostly but never used c4 on pc any ideas how to detonate c4?

[Space Coward]

I'm not a fan of the default controls. Also, since this is mostly in-game, there's no point in having regular JC2 controls here. I'd at least put the commands under a different tab.

Also, if you have side-buttons on your mouse (for me, MOUSE4/MOUSE5), this is a pretty good scheme:

On Foot
Tab = PDA
MOUSE4 = Dodge/Roll
MOUSE5 = Zoom

In Vehicles
MOUSE4 = Handbrake (X as default? C'mon.)
MOUSE5 = Look Back

Lots of effort in this but I don't think Just Cause 2 has complex controls. But anyway I respect how much time you have put into this and it will help out others
