Pax Autocratica Keyboard Controls

Keyboard controls in Pax Autocratica should make capture and skills as reachable as shooting. Patch notes for the Prologue era specifically adjusted sprint, walk/run toggling, weapon switching, melee, skills, and capturing enemies—start there when you open the bind screen.

Recommended mental model

• Movement cluster: WASD + sprint + dash on comfortable keys.
• Combat cluster: fire, melee, weapon switch within scroll/number reach.
• Regime cluster: capture and skills on keys you can hit while strafing.
• Base cluster: interact, build menus, and flight (hold Space per older notes).

Capture discipline

If capture shares an awkward key with jump or menu, you will fail mid-fight. Test in a quiet pack before ranking attempts in Early Expeditions.

Flight and base navigation

Holding Space to fly the base view has been documented in patch notes. That is easy to miss if you only live in FPS mode. Combine with layout work from Colony Layout.

Sensitivity and visibility

Lower sensitivity until bullet lanes are readable. Accessibility options may expand during EA—watch Updates.

Practice drill

Five minutes in a low sector: dash through two lanes, melee one weak foe, capture one foe, switch weapons twice. Then go long.

Keyboard mastery is quiet confidence. Rebind with intention, not defaults forever.
