Deadlock controls & keybinds

Move on W, A, S and D, jump and mantle with Space, dash with Left Shift and crouch or slide with Left Ctrl. Q is melee, F is parry, R reloads, 1 to 4 are your abilities with 4 the ultimate, and Z, X, C and V use your four active items. B opens the shop, Mouse 3 pings and Tab shows the scoreboard.

F. The same key boosts your speed while you ride a zipline. A parry catches melee hits for the first 0.75 seconds of a one-second animation, and a parry that catches nothing cannot be used again for 4.5 seconds.

Press Q for a light melee and hold it for a heavy melee. A heavy melee winds up first, then lunges about half a dash forward, which is why it can be seen coming and parried.

It parries a melee attack, and while you ride a zipline it activates the zipline speed boost.

Z, X, C and V for the four active-item slots, and E for the seasonal event item. Hold Tab or Alt and drag an item to move it to another slot.

Press Mouse 3, the middle button. Hold it and the chat wheel opens after a delay you can set from 0 to 0.5 seconds in the Keybinds menu.

R, as in most shooters. It sits under Keybinds → Combat if you want it somewhere else.

Press B. You buy at a shop on the map: stand in front of it, inside the small yellow rectangle in front of the counter, and press the key.

Usually they did, for one hero. With Hero-specific keybinds on, a change applies to the hero selected at the top of the menu. The keybinds lab walks through this and the Critical keybind missing warning.
