Better Combat — Configuration

Keybinds & Controls

Better Combat uses the standard attack control - no new keys are required to fight.

  • Left-click (Attack) performs a full weapon swing that sweeps through the enemies in front of you.
  • Off-hand slot holds a second weapon for dual wielding, using the usual swap-hands control to place it.
  • Movement keys work normally during a swing, since attack animations play on the upper body.

All tuning of the combat itself is done through the in-game settings screen (see Configuration) rather than extra hotkeys.

Configuration

Better Combat includes an in-game settings screen where you can tune the whole system to taste. Common options include:

  • Attack speed / animation speed - how fast swings play out.
  • Attack reach - fine-tune how far your swings extend.
  • Camera behavior - optional camera tilt/movement during swings, which can be reduced or disabled.
  • Attack indicator - toggle or adjust the targeting crosshair.
  • Animation toggles - enable or disable specific swing animations.
  • Dual-wield options - control how off-hand weapons behave.

Open the settings screen, adjust the sliders and toggles, and the changes apply to your combat immediately - so you can dial in exactly the feel you want.
