Alien Apocalypse Controls and Keybinds

Use the current build's binding menu as the authority. Official demo updates mention control improvements, but a fixed external key list could be wrong across builds, layouts, controllers, and user remaps.

Start with the binding screen

Record movement, interaction, inventory, stance, and vehicle or building actions needed for the session. Remaps and controller profiles make a universal diagram unreliable.

Official update context

The August demo update referenced input and control improvements. Recheck the menu after updates instead of assuming old screenshots remain complete.

Troubleshoot one layer at a time

Confirm the active device, remove conflicting remaps, test in a simple location, then restore custom bindings gradually. Avoid file edits before supported options.

Report a control problem

Include build, device, connection method, remaps, expected action, observed result, and whether restart changes the issue.

ACTION CHECKLIST

What to do next

  • Open the current binding menu.
  • Confirm the active device.
  • Test defaults before remaps.
  • Record build and device details.

EVIDENCE BOUNDARY

Known unknowns

These details are withheld until official documentation or a repeatable build check supports them.

  • Final Early Access bindings
  • Complete controller compatibility
  • Per-device dead-zone behavior
