Gone are the days were we only had two buttons, A and B to finish entire games. PC gaming has always been in the rise and with that comes a keyboard, with all 100+ keys ripe for keybinds and shortcuts the developers can impose to to the players. With games being more and more complex there needs to be more keys used, anyone who has played Simulation games like Flight Simulator, DCS or ARMA 3 understands too well. Escape From Tarkov is in that list and even though it doesn’t have that many keybinds like a flight simulator, there’s still a lot to set up, so here’s the list of all keybinds and shortcuts in the game!
