Far Cry Primal Keyboard & Controller Controls

Shooter games → Part of the Far Cry collection →

Far Cry Primal drops the guns for clubs, bows and spears, setting the series in the Stone Age valley of Oros, where you hunt, craft, tame beasts and scout ahead with an owl. The keys below are the PC defaults as listed on the game's own Customize Controls screen, and the controller buttons come from the in-game gamepad diagram.
