Basic Controls & Movement — Mordhau Guide

Master Mordhau's controls with this guide. Navigate WASD movement, sprinting with Shift, blocking with right-click, and attack with left-click.

Understanding the basic controls is paramount. Mordhau uses a standard WASD setup for movement. W moves forward, S backward, A strafes left, and D strafes right. Pressing Shift while moving will sprint, consuming stamina. Spacebar is for jumping. C crouches, and X goes prone. The mouse controls your camera and aiming. Left-click initiates an attack, and right-click blocks. The scroll wheel can be used to switch between weapons or stances. Mastering movement is not just about getting around; it's about positioning yourself for attacks, dodging incoming blows, and maintaining optimal distance from your opponents. Practice moving in all directions while looking around to get a feel for the fluidity of character control.
