- Move use WASD to drive forward, backward, and turn.
- Aim hold right-click to switch into scope view, which zooms in and makes distant targets easier to hit.
- Fire primary left-click shoots your main gun; use keys 1, 2, or 3 beforehand to pick which ammo type you want loaded.
- Fire secondary press Space to fire your secondary gun; keys 4, 5, or 6 change its ammo type.
- Change view tap V to cycle through camera perspectives.
