Lurking Giants PC Controls

PC players form the majority of the Lurking Giants community, and mastering keyboard bindings is the fastest way to improve both survivor escapes and giant kill counts. This reference documents every confirmed default binding, common input quirks, and configuration tips for mouse-and-keyboard play on Roblox.

Movement Controls

WASD handles directional movement. Space jumps over obstacles and gaps between City rooftops. Crouch lowers your hitbox behind cover — essential between visibility pulses. Standard Roblox camera controls apply: right-click drag or hold to rotate view, scroll wheel to zoom.

Sprint — The E Key

The most important binding: E sprints. Unlike most Roblox horror games that use Shift, Lurking Giants maps sprint to E. New players who hold Shift stand still during chases and die confused. Practice E-tapping in the lobby before your first round. Mobile players have separate bindings on the mobile controls page.

Survivor Items

Survivors spawn with a lantern and flashlight. Toggle or unequip light sources before climbing stairs — equipped lanterns block ascents on truss structures and City towers. Darkness helps concealment but limits navigation; balance light usage with the hiding guide.

Giant Controls

When selected as the giant, Q performs the primary attack and G triggers haunt. Attack range varies by giant model — Locust versus Guilt feel different. Full ability breakdown on giant abilities and role strategy in how to play as giant.

UI and Lobby

Access Store, Inventory, Configuration, and Spectate from the lobby interface. During intermission, browse the shop for Guilt (7,000 coins) and review giant descriptions. Spectate teaches pulse timing before you queue survivor.

Configuration Tips

Open Configuration to adjust sensitivity and graphics. Lower graphics can improve frame rate during City tower chases where geometry is dense. Roblox client FPS affects jump timing on truss stairs — stable 60 FPS recommended.
