Stalker 2 keybindings and controls

As a seasoned gamer who has braved countless virtual worlds, I can’t stress enough the importance of mastering the controls before embarking on your Stalker 2 adventure. The Zone is a treacherous place and the last thing you want is to stumble around, fumbling with keyboard shortcuts while zombified mutants are snapping at your heels.


In simpler terms, playing Stalker 2 requires mastering numerous commands and settings, whether it’s through keyboard and mouse (PC) or controller. PC gamers have a broad range of options to familiarize themselves with, while those using a controller might encounter some unusual shortcuts.

Stalker 2 controls and keybindings

For PC users, there are several quick methods to manage devices and change ammunition types. However, console or controller users might not have as many options due to limited controls, which means certain systems won’t be accessible through button inputs for them.
