Mordhau is currently exclusive to PC which means that new players will need to familiarize themselves with the controls. What’s more, Mordhau gives you the ability to switch your keybindings around to better suit your play style. Dislike how blocks work? Change the PC keybinding for it!

In Mordhau, all of your actions are performed using PC controls. Note that you do have the option to use a USB game controller to play Mordhau on PC, though we personally feel you lose a lot of precision in combat when playing with a controller.
