Rebind Locked Keybinds on PC

Understanding the Issue

Many players of Wuthering Waves have found that certain keybinds are locked and can't be changed through the in-game settings. This can be particularly frustrating for those using non-QWERTY keyboards or those who prefer custom key configurations.

Steps to Rebind Keybinds

Here’s a simple guide to help you rebind those locked keybinds by editing the Input.ini file. Be aware that this might trigger the game's anti-cheat, so proceed with caution.

Step 1: Locate the Input.ini File

  1. Ensure the game is closed.
  2. Navigate to <install_dir>\Wuthering Waves Game\Client\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\.
  3. Open Input.ini with any text editor.

Step 2: Generate Default Settings (if necessary)

If your Input.ini file is empty or has fewer than 268 lines:

  1. Launch the game until the character/server selection screen.
  2. Exit the game. This will auto-generate all necessary settings in Input.ini.

Step 3: Edit Keybinds

Open Input.ini and find the line with the target ActionName. Change its Key attribute value using the table below as a reference for locked keybinds.

Example of Rebinding Keys

ActionMappings=(ActionName="Normal Attack",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=LeftMouseButton)
ActionMappings=(ActionName="Lock On Target",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=MiddleMouseButton)
ActionMappings=(ActionName="Dash/Dodge",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=RightMouseButton)
