In Mega City Missions, you step into a sprawling urban playground where high-stakes missions await at every corner.

Whether you’re new to high-octane PC shooters or a seasoned strategist, mastering the keyboard controls is essential to claim victory in this fast-paced adventure.

What Is Mega City Missions?

Mega City Missions is a first-person action title set in a futuristic metropolis. Players accept contracts ranging from stealth reconnaissance to all-out combat, earning credits to upgrade weapons, gadgets, and gear. With dozens of distinct mission types—escort ops, timed heists, and boss battles—the game promises virtually limitless replayability. Its dynamic day/night cycle and destructible environments make every run feel fresh, while the sprawling city map ensures endless exploration.

US-Focused Tip: If you play on a US keyboard layout, the standard QWERTY setup is enabled by default. You can switch to AZERTY or other layouts from the options menu if needed.

Customizing Your Control Scheme

No two players are the same. You can rebind any key to suit your playstyle:

1. Open Control Settings: Go to Options → Controls.

3. Press Your Desired Key: Confirm the new binding.

Pro Tip: Competitive players often move “Sprint” to a side mouse button for quicker access without sacrificing WASD positioning.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If keys feel unresponsive or the game doesn’t recognize your bindings, try the following:

• Run as Administrator: Right-click the game executable → Run as administrator.
• Disable Overlays: Turn off Steam Overlay and any third-party software (Discord, NVIDIA GeForce Experience).
• Check for Conflicts: Ensure no other program is capturing your keystrokes (e.g., hotkey utilities).
• Update Drivers: Install the latest GPU and motherboard chipset drivers from the manufacturer’s site.
• Verify Game Files: In Steam, right-click the game → Properties → Local Files → Verify integrity of game files.

Advanced Tips & Tricks

To really excel, consider these expert strategies:

• Strafe-Jumping: Combine crouch (Ctrl) + jump (Space) mid-air to gain extra speed and evade enemy fire.
• Silent Tac-Hack: Hack enemy drones with E while aiming down sights—your target won’t hear you coming.
• Map Pings: Use the ping feature (middle-mouse click in Map) to coordinate with teammates in co-op missions.
• Weapon Swap Cancel: Quickly reload by swapping to your sidearm (2) and back to primary (1) to shave off reload animation.

Performance Optimization

For smooth 60+ FPS on US-standard hardware:

1. Lower Shadow Quality: High shadows have a big performance hit.
2. Turn Off Motion Blur: Improves clarity during fast runs.
3. Adjust Texture Streaming: Set to Medium if you have 8 GB VRAM or less.
4. Limit Frame Rate: Cap at 144 FPS for consistent performance on 144 Hz monitors.
