Warhammer Survivors Controls: Movement and Aiming
See what launch sources say about movement, weapon trajectories, and the Frag Grenade’s random-target description. Exact platform controls remain unverified.

During a run, Wargamer’s launch-period review describes movement as the player’s direct control. The reviewer also reports that weapons have different targeting patterns and trajectories tied to your position and facing. The article does not identify an exact game build or provide keyboard, controller, or menu bindings, so treat this as a scoped reviewer’s account rather than a complete input chart.
How to line up attacks
Based on that description, steer your character to bring enemies into a weapon’s path or attack area. This is a practical inference from the review, not an independently tested step-by-step technique. PC Gamer’s launch review also notes that obstacles can block projectiles and that position matters in tighter stages, but it does not publish a control map.
Can you manually aim grenades?
For the Frag Grenade weapon, Wikily’s release-dated entry reproduces its in-game description as “Throws a grenade at a random enemy.” That points to automatic target selection rather than choosing an exact enemy yourself. The page does not list a manual aim button or platform-specific input.
Auroch’s August 2026 pre-release feature describes a different item, the Melta-bomb pick-up: it explodes after a short delay, and the advice is to draw enemies into its blast area. Do not treat that pick-up description as Frag Grenade control instructions.
For the official description of battlefield pick-ups, see Warhammer Survivors Pick-Ups: Explosives and Spells. The exact movement and menu bindings still depend on the in-game control screen for your platform.
