Game Tactics

One of the main differences in Space Dogs DM is the use of inventory items to take out your opponents. There are several traps, automated turrets and grenades to use on top of the usual gun, rifle, launcher weapons. Traps, grenades and Turrets will attack anything in range, so placements is key. You can also sneak around using nano tech or enhance your armour.

The environment also plays a key role in taking out your opponent. Fuse-boxes launch electric discharges, buildings can collapse, vehicles and robots will defend themselves of attack if they patrol. Use the environment as much as you can to aid you.

Controls

The controls are listed below and can be customized. Fire cannot be remapped for some reason. If you use the same key for an already mapped action, the keys will swap around. Not all keys can be mapped to the gamepad due to the limits on a gamepad key availability. You may decide to swap some key mappings.
