==The Meta Game== === Recommended Keybindings and Game Settings (PC) === ==== Keybindings ==== While keybindings are a matter of personal preference, here are some recommendations that can make a big difference in your ability to execute techniques (such as drinking a health potion) smoothly, efficiently and safely under pressure: * By default, you can use the mousewheel to scroll through both your weapons and your items. This is an awful idea, because when you're facing down three stormvermin and an ogre you're almost guaranteed to over or under shoot the selection you want and then you're not much of a hero after all. Alternatives are to use the number keys above "WASD" to select weapons and items, or to bind specific keys to each weapon and item type. ** Sample scheme: "F" for health, "C" for potion, "G" for grenade, "Q" for melee, "Mouse Scroll UP" for ranged * By default, "jump" and "dodge" are bound to the space bar. This is workable, but if you find yourself getting into the game, enabling "Manual Dodge" in the game settings (see below) and designating a dedicated dodge key will take your ability to execute precise dodges (especially when dodge-dancing) to another level. ** Sample scheme: "Left Shift" for dodge, "Space" for jump * By default, "push to chat" is unassigned. If you plan to use the in-game VOIP for communication, you'll want to assign this to something handy. ** Sample scheme: "Left Ctrl" for push-to-talk. ==== Game Settings ==== * As with many FPS games, increasing the default field-of-view (FOV) can make keeping track of your surroundings much easier. Many players use values around 90, although some people go as high as 120. You ability to snipe will suffer at extreme FOV settings. * Settings "Player Outlines" to "Always On" will help you pick out your teammates as quickly as possible while navigating the map. Highly recommended. ==== Making Friends ==== * The Vermintide community is *mostly* friendly. Your job as a new player is to add the people you gel with (especially ones that play with mic) and shrug off the ones that are jerks or uncommunicative. The best way to add friends is by hitting the "Tab" key in the inn or during the mission (elevator rides are good, quiet moments) and then hitting right-click to be able to mouse over a person's steam profile link. This is much more reliable than trying to search for a person later via Steam. You can also add friends by using the Steam Overlay and selecting "Recent Players", even if you are no longer in the game with them. ==== Playing Without a Mic ==== You can definitely get by without a mic, but if helps if you adapt your playstyle to being mute: * Let someone else (preferably someone with a mic!) lead the team unless you're clearly the most experienced player. If you do want to lead, then type stuff out instead of assuming people will interpret your body language correctly (e.g. "wait until Dwarf catches up to drop down to next area please"). * Get really fast with your ping key. You can communicate a lot by pinging a speed potion, or a bomb, or a tome, but you also want to be able to say "DUDE PACKMASTER ON YOUR SIX!" within a split-second by pinging it while you fight rats. * Don't make little trips on your own without typing anything. On a mic it's easy to say "hold up guys, need to hit that ammo crate again" but without a mic it's tempting to just nip off on your own because typing is work. But the odds of an ambush spawning in between you and your still-progressing party, or of you getting jumped by an assassin after your team has passed a point-of-no-return and can't save you, are basically 8/10.
