Dedicated kick button

    Could we please get such a thing? It would be really nice if I didn't have to press two buttons in order to perform such a life saving move, especially in the midst of battle when you get sneaked up on by some annoying little chaos ground assault. I'm asking for such a feature because of how easy it is to screw it up in the chaos of a fight while you're already with your left mouse button pressed for full auto (or charging). Sure that improves my reaction by 0.5 seconds (give or take) but seeing how most melee fights end in less than 2 seconds, I'd say that it makes a difference.

    With that said, could we please get such a dedicated button? *goes back to his drinking and grumbling about an epileptic seizure*

    ...key bindings...I'll leave it at that, for whenever they are here (if they aren't already, I haven't seen them, but I'm fine with the controls).

    Yeah, problem with key bindings is that it can still prove difficult to pull it off if you're going for your own preferred style (which is the point of having key bindings). Not everyone has right click as melee attack (myself included, I use that for aiming) and from what I've seen I can't bind two keys to one button, if I could do that I'd be as happy as a Space Woofy with his power axe embedded in an ork's skull.

    Menu/UI/Chat Window Improvements:

    - Keybindings are in (but needs a bit of a disclaimer/explanation):
    • First iteration of keybindings are in – Keyboard/mouse keybindings can be customized, controller keybindings have been disabled for the time being, while we get it working correctly!
    • FYI - The custom keybind screen is currently located under Instructions > Controls (this is temporary, it will be moved).
    • Mapping the Defensive Bash to a single key has also temporarily disabled (due to bad bugs!) but will be enabled soon.
    • Additional Shooter options, such as Sprint (Toggle) will also appear soon. Stay tuned for the news!

    I take offense, sir. Green lives matter!

    Ah my thanks for this good news. Always felt a bit strange that it was not added, now I know why. Fingers crossed that it gets fixed soon.

    Before last patch I'd programmed my mouses 5th button to act as if it was holding down LMB & RMB with one tap of the button.

    With the key bindings implemented, this no longer works. A bit frustrating. Thought I'd found a way around it.

    Also REALLY hoping they let us bind Lock Mode [Hold] and Sprint to the same key again.
