Z Button = Fire Weapon

Learn how to fire your weapons in The Long Dark. This guide explains the 'Z' button and other essential combat mechanics to help you survive.

Using Your Weapons: The 'Z' Button

Alright, so you've managed to find yourself a firearm, maybe a trusty rifle or a handy revolver. Now, how do you actually use it? It's pretty straightforward, thankfully. When you've got a weapon equipped and you're ready to take a shot, you'll want to press the Z button. That's your main fire button.

Just remember, ammo isn't exactly growing on trees out there in Great Bear Island. Make sure you've got a clear shot and you really need to use that bullet. Whether you're fending off a hungry Wolf or trying to take down some game for food, aim carefully!

Keep an eye on your ammo count, and don't waste your shots. Every bullet counts when you're trying to survive the Quiet Apocalypse.
