Grenade Cancelling

Version

Working as of Update 36, Patch 6.

Description by Virryn at How to Double Bind Grenade Cancelling in Deep Rock Galactic reproduced here:

1. In-game, set your Grenade keybind to whatever you wish (for this example, MiddleMouseButton).
2. Find steam\steamapps\common\Deep Rock Galactic\FSD\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor.
3. Open GameUserSettings.ini in a text editor.

4. Scroll down to CustomKeyBindings. Note that this will not display default keybindings; only actions with a custom keybinding (including manually unbound actions).

   • This is under the [/Script/FSD.FSDGameUserSettings] section.

5. Find or make CustomKeyBindings=(ActionName="LaserPointer",Index=1,Key=???). The Laser Pointer is most recommended, as it does not cancel your sprint and does not swap your weapon. Pickaxe and weapon swap are also viable; I am unsure what their exact ActionNames are.

   • Index=0 means that keybind is the main keybind.
   • Index=1 means an alternate keybind.

6. It is recommended to change only the alternate keybinds, i.e. those with Index=1.

7. Set Key= to your Grenade keybind (which can be found under ActionName="Grenade"; for this example, MiddleMouseButton) When pressed multiple times in quick succession, the middle mouse button should now quickly throw multiple grenades.

Using Laser Pointer's Alterative Keybind to Grenade Cancel

[/Script/FSD.FSDGameUserSettings]
...
# Grenade is thrown using `G` key here.
CustomKeyBindings=(ActionName="Grenade",Index=0,Key=G)
CustomKeyBindings=(ActionName="Grenade",Index=1,Key=None)
# Use Laser Pointer to grenade cancel; set alternative keybind to share the same keybind as
# grenade toss.
CustomKeyBindings=(ActionName="LaserPointer",Index=0,Key=LeftControl)
CustomKeyBindings=(ActionName="LaserPointer",Index=1,Key=G)

How to Double Bind (aka a technique to grenade/axe cancel with only ONE key)

How to Double Bind (aka a technique to grenade/axe cancel with only ONE key) Open the following file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Deep Rock Galactic\FSD\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini.

• Scroll down to CustomKeyBindings section.
• Edit the second CustomKeyBindings for LaserPointer: CustomKeyBindings=(ActionName="LaserPointer",Index=1,Key=G). If you don't have it, just make one. (Note you can use other keybinds that allows you to cancel animation like Pickaxe or Previous Weapon, but LaserPointer is the most useful because 1) it does not cancel your sprint and 2) it pulls out LaserPointer which reveals the HUD).
• Take note here that the specific CustomKeyBinding entry you're editing has Index not equal to 0 and Key must be whatever key you have set for the Grenade keybind (Note: Although this guide says double binding, you can technically set multiple binds for a specific action; i.e., you have more than two CustomKeyBinds for a specific action. The CustomKeyBind you're editing just has to not be Index=0 to not edit the main keybind).

Example:

One of the keybinds to use my grenade is set to G. Thus, I need to set the alternate key (Index=1) for LaserPointer to the same key, G:

CustomKeyBindings=(ActionName="Grenade",Index=0,Key=G)
...
CustomKeyBindings=(ActionName="LaserPointer",Index=1,Key=G)

So in my case, my primary keybind (Index=0) for grenade is R. Therefore I have to set the alternate key (which is what Index=1 stands for) for LaserPointer to R:

CustomKeyBindings=(ActionName="Grenade",Index=0,Key=R)
CustomKeyBindings=(ActionName="Grenade",Index=1,Key=None)
CustomKeyBindings=(ActionName="LaserPointer",Index=0,Key=ThumbMouseButton2)
CustomKeyBindings=(ActionName="LaserPointer",Index=1,Key=R)
