Can You Rebind Controls in ARC Raiders?
You can rebind keyboard and mouse controls on PC, but controller bindings are locked, unfortunately.
ARC Raiders Controller Support on PC
On PC, ARC Raiders has native support for Xbox and PlayStation controllers, as well as appropriate button prompts for each controller type. I’ve tested an Xbox Series controller as well as a DualShock 4, and both work properly.
If you’re having any problem with your controllers not working properly, try disabling Steam Input for ARC Raiders.
- Make sure ARC Raiders isn’t running.
- Open Steam and navigate to your library.
- Here, right-click on ARC Raiders and select Properties.
- In the Controller tab, select the Disable Steam Input option under Override for ARC Raiders.
ARC Raiders is a blast to play, whether you’re playing on keyboard and mouse or a controller. The limited rebinding options are a bit disappointing, but controller support is solid.
