The controls editor stores KeyboardEvent.code bindings, so the editable bindings are layout-independent. The fixed controls are weapon digits, mouse controls, Escape, Tab, and arrow-key movement fallback. A captured rebind swaps conflicting editable bindings rather than duplicating one key.

Aim and firing

All firearms support right-click ADS in the current weapon data. ADS reduces sensitivity and tightens base spread; a scoped Sniper has zero base spread while ADS is active. Movement, jumping, sprinting, crouching, and continuous fire still influence the final shot cone.

Only the SMG and Minigun are marked automatic. Other firearms and the Subverter fire one action per click. Auto-reload when the trigger is pulled on an empty magazine is enabled by default and can be disabled in Settings.

Mystery Box input

The solo post-wave Mystery Box overlay owns input while open.

Input	Action
1 / 2 / 3	Choose a box directly
Left / Right arrows or A / D	Move the selection
Enter / Space	Open the selected box

Pointer lock is released during the picker, and gameplay controls are blocked so the choice cannot fire a weapon or move the player.

Touch and tablet controls

Touch mode activates only for a detected touch-capable mobile/coarse-pointer device. It is designed for landscape orientation; portrait displays a rotation gate and the game attempts fullscreen and orientation lock when supported.

Touch control	Action
Left virtual joystick	Move; push to the outer ring to sprint
Right-side swipe	Look
FIRE	Shoot
AIM	Hold ADS
Jump / Dash / Crouch	Corresponding movement and class action
Power	Use the held loot power
Reload	Reload
Weapon	Change weapon
Pause	Open the solo pause menu

Touch players receive aim assist only after real touch hardware and a browser-trusted touch interaction are detected; toggling a client flag is not enough to enable it. Haptic patterns are provided for supported Vibration API devices and can be disabled in Settings.

Controller support

No Gamepad API, controller mapping, or controller UI support was found in the implementation. Controller support is therefore not implemented / unknown.

Context-sensitive behavior

• Text inputs such as multiplayer chat suppress gameplay keyboard handling.
• Photo Mode uses movement keys for camera movement, mouse drag for free look, mouse wheel for FOV zoom, and Escape to exit.
• Multiplayer does not pause for Escape; the next canvas click reacquires pointer lock before firing.
• The Tutorial pauses the simulation while an instruction card is active.
