Dying Light 2 is a zombie survival game that will release on February 4, with the Day One patch already out to fix teething issues. You have to take down zombies and bandits. Much like its predecessor, there are tons of mechanics in the game that you can read through in our beginner’s guide. As such, there are a lot of controls that you need to remember. Worry not because this guide will show you the Dying Light 2 PC keyboard controls.
This guide will cover all of the controls that you need to remember. If you cannot get used to them at once, don’t worry and keep on practicing. The game does an excellent job of explaining all of the controls. With that said, let’s get started and take a look at the Dying Light 2 PC controls for the keyboard and a controller.
Dying Light 2: PC Keyboard and Gamepad Controls (Default Keybinds)
There are tons of controls in Dying Light 2. Keep in mind that all of these are default keybinds and new players should strictly follow them. Once you get the hang of the game, you can start messing around with the controls to see what suits you best.
However, if you have played the original Dying Light, you will already be used to these controls. Keep in mind that we will update the controls list as soon as the game comes out. In case there are new mechanics introduced, we will keep you updated.

I can’t change any control to mouse 2, 4 and 5… why?
Hey Simon, are you sure your keys are not bound to anything else?
Same here!
Apparently it’s a bug in the game
Yes, this indeed is a bug!
“B” yeah sure.. B is Binoculars, looked into the keybinds for “look back”, it’s default as “Caps lock” for some weird reason… At least for me it was.
