Full list of keyboard shortcuts

Below is the default control panel on PC. The game also displays key hints directly on the HUD and along the bottom of the screen, and those hints will be updated if you reset any keys.

Movement and running style

Characters move using combinations WASD and observe with mouse. The game does not have a quick run button, so the important factor is choosing a hiding location right at the beginning of the preparation phase. Go to the location first before opening paint mode to save time. Keys Ctrl Helps crouch to get into low areas or create a more natural camouflage position.

Control drawing tools

Press F to open drawing mode. Here, you can choose color, adjust RGB or Hex and change parameters such as gloss and roughness. The most useful tool is the Eyedropper, which allows color to be taken directly from the surrounding surface for precise camouflage. Use the left mouse button to paint and the middle mouse button to rotate the viewing angle, helping to fill all sides of the character.

Tips: Always sample the color from the surface you intend to camouflage instead of choosing the color manually.

Posture control and stealth

Press R to open the posture menu and choose a posture suitable for the environment. When clinging to a wall or object, use Space to raise position, Ctrl to lower and Shift to leave the surface. Correct positioning will help you blend in with wall paintings, shelves or other objects.

Seeker controller

Seeker uses a similar movement system, but has additional tracking aids.

• Left mouse: Mark suspicious players.
• Key 2: Turn on/off nameplate.
• Key 3: Enable paint-through view.
• Key 1: Provocation.
• T key: Chat

When searching, observe shape and posture instead of relying solely on color.
