Gang Beasts Controls Guide

This is a simple guide covering keyboard and controller controls for Gang Beasts, along with basic combos. This guide is for anyone who’s died too many times and wants to pound their friends into the dirt.

Gang Beasts is an incredible game to fight it out with your companions, however assuming you need to win there are a few controls you should realize how to utilize. Because of Outsider Gaming for the rundown of controls, we investigate the fundamental controls that will assist you with figuring out how to play the game and the mixes that will make you a champ.

If all else fails button-mashing is the way to go, but the real advantage know how to effectively beat down their companions with the in-game controls. It might seem like an impossible task for you to become well-versed in how to maneuver your character in Gang Beasts, despite the fact that it is certainly worth the battle.

We will isolate these by control methods (PS4 controller, Xbox One controller, keyboard + mouse). For some’s purposes, the PS4 and Xbox One controllers are for the most part pleasant, but playing with a keyboard and mouse is plenty comfortable and even offers some benefits over using a controller.

Gang Beasts PC Keyboard Controls

One thing to be aware of when using a keyboard is that if you are not using a mechanical keyboard, you will not be able to press three keys at a time. This is a general hardware limitation, and it’s something to be aware of in Gang Beasts in particular. Otherwise, you won’t be able to perform certain combos that could mean the difference between a win and a loss.

The PlayStation and Xbox controls are somehow the same, except for the different buttons on their controllers. One very important tip for beginners is to start with the basics and one or two special moves to practice with before moving on to more complicated combinations.
